As long as Professor Chen makes a promise, it must be foolproof and it will be difficult to think of any problems.
"Professor Chen, when do you think the time is more appropriate? Let's also let them prepare." Xu Shiqiang asked Chen Yang.
Now Fan Lang is a busy man. He is considered the backbone of the special forces. He has rich combat experience and has been boosted by many genetic agents. He is a rare general. Although he looks a little funny in front of Professor Chen and others.
It's better than jumping off, but when it comes to the battlefield, he's flexible and steady, not like a general.
"It is expected to be available in two weeks," Chen Yang said.
"Two weeks? Is it more difficult?" Minister Sun asked.
He knew that with Professor Chen's level and ability, it must be quite difficult for Professor Chen to spend two weeks.
"There is no difficulty. It only requires a certain degree of modification of the existing weapons. It does not require too much complicated design. The reason why it takes so long is because there are still some important things during this period."
"Important thing? What is it?" Minister Sun and Xu Shiqiang asked at the same time.
"Of course, what is more important than the lunar cleaning plan is the Mars Pioneer Exploration Plan. Although we already have the detection data of Zhurong, the data is still too little to support the construction of our future Mars base.
Although there is no way to build it at the same time as the lunar base, we should first send out a probe to conduct a detailed exploration there, and establish a signal base station to detect the weather and environment of Mars, so that we can have a more intuitive and detailed understanding of Mars, which will facilitate subsequent
Work begins.”
"Send a Mars probe? Build a base station to collect weather data?"
After hearing Chen Yang's words, several people looked at each other.
Their thoughts are still stuck on the construction of space elevators, lunar fortresses, and lunar bases, but Professor Chen has already set his sights on Mars, and this is even if there are Martian aliens!
"Professor Chen, do you need to set up a special team to research and develop this Mars probe? I just heard from you that you have higher requirements and expectations for this Mars probe," said Minister Sun.
"There is no need to set up a special team, I have already completed the design of the probe! When the Lunar Fortress is initially formed, we will use the Lunar Fortress as a launch base to launch towards Mars. The rest is no different from the traditional one, except for the communication system, which has been improved.
!Although it is still electromagnetic communication, the signal base is built on the moon. After the signal is amplified, the information loss will be reduced to ensure transmission efficiency.
In addition, it is the time it takes for the probe to reach Mars. The existing probes are too slow." Chen Yang said bluntly.
Xu Shiqiang was confused, he couldn't understand, but Minister Sun nodded in approval.
Because of the relationship between orbit and planetary gravity, and limited by engine propulsion technology, it took at least 7 months for previous detectors to reach space. Considering the orbit and its own revolution period, there is still an optimal window period. If you miss the final
For the best window period, you need to wait another two years!
This time is too long for human beings! This is only at least the time cost of launch, plus other factors. If there is an accident or "bad" cosmic weather, this timeline will be stretched again, which will be very harmful to human beings.
It’s been too long!
"Professor Chen, how long do you think it will take for the current probe to launch from launch to arrival on Mars?" Minister Sun asked.
"Sixty days. I think 60 days is more appropriate." Chen Yang said slowly and confidently again.
After hearing what Chen Yang said, the two of them were furious at the same time. They could not accept the plan and arrangement that Professor Chen said at all. It was too advanced.
"Professor Chen, our... Under normal circumstances, it takes almost 7 months just to transport to Mars. If it is not the window period, it may take longer. Now, you set a 60-day timeline
, are you a little...too eager to get things done?" After hearing Chen Yang's words, Minister Sun couldn't help but want to persuade him directly.
"It's okay. I have taken all the factors into consideration, and this data is only within the normal range, not a window period. If it is really not the right time, we will use other technologies to complete these.
A strategic project to ensure that the probe can be launched near Mars within 2 months.”ωωw..net
"Hahaha... It's really amazing! Professor Chen is the one!" Xu Shiqiang, who was standing next to him, gave a thumbs up.
"Which engine are you talking about? Do we need to produce it separately?" Minister Sun asked again.
He must know these details thoroughly so that he can coordinate or cooperate as much as possible. Otherwise, it will be a mess. Not only will he be implicated, but a lot of time will be wasted, people's feelings will be wasted, etc.
"This engine does not require a large amount of assembly. It is not necessary. After I finish building the launcher, this engine may not be needed later." Chen Yang said to several people.
"No need? What is no need? Is this engine out of date?" Minister Sun asked Chen Yang again.
"More or less, the current propulsion technology has not yet reached the ideal requirements. Although nuclear fusion technology has been completed for a long time, detectors powered by nuclear fusion energy have not yet been born.
Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, we will directly develop nuclear fusion space engines. Although this nuclear fusion engine is used in space, the main technology inside has not been greatly improved. The main reason is that the acceleration has increased a lot, which can make
The probe quickly reaches the predetermined speed and completes Mars exploration faster.
After hearing Chen Yang's explanation, Minister Sun and Xu Shiqiang couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: There are no equals in the country!
"Then we will just wait for good news from Professor Chen," Xu Shiqiang said.
In the next few days, the popularity of the entire world slowly decreased, and many people began to shift their gaze and no longer pay attention. Except for those professional aerospace people, no one wanted to stare at a picture for a day.
The process is too boring, boring enough to drive people crazy.
"Don't worry, I've done everything, and I've already connected with the relevant personnel. As long as the next work can go smoothly, we can conduct a comprehensive exploration of Mars during the general cleaning. At the same time, it will also be a good time to see
Let’s take a look to see if there are aliens on Mars and whether there are sufficient conditions for human survival,” Chen Yang said.
