Genius of the Rules-Style System

The original goal of Yixing Technology was to manufacture functional small spacecrafts. There are no technical obstacles to spacecrafts orbiting the earth. Anti-gravity thrusters can be used as spacecrafts.

However, the functional spacecraft needed to explore the universe still needs to add the required functions on the original basis, and technology research and development will become very complicated.

However, the core technology is already available, and there are no absolute technical obstacles to adding other functions.

The small spacecraft manufactured this time needs to complete a space shuttle to Mars, land on the surface of Mars, perform a series of tasks, then take off and enter the shuttle channel from Mars to Earth, and perform landing operations to return to Earth.

The difficulty in this process mainly focuses on taking off again from the surface of Mars.

To take off, it will definitely need energy support, and all the spacecraft has is the solar energy provided by the large light energy receiving converter.

Therefore, the spaceship needs a certain amount of time to accumulate energy before taking off, and slowly relies on its anti-gravity properties to lift off.

The entire takeoff process is expected to take at least one week.

Although there are still some technical difficulties, they are not insurmountable.

When the small spacecraft entered the manufacturing process, Yixing and the space agency were struggling with whether to 'carry people' on missions to Mars.

‘Manned’ is achievable.

The small spaceship is named 'Mars-1' spacecraft. Mars-1 applies the latest technologies such as anti-gravity, anti-energy barrier, and light energy reception. Due to the application of anti-gravity technology, Mars-1 is expected to weigh at least seven tons. .

With this weight and the design of the large frame, a medium-sized manned control cabin can be added in the center. The space of the cabin can reach more than 30 cubic meters, which is enough for the work and life of three astronauts.

There is a big difference between carrying people and not carrying people.

The main difference centers on the functionality of the spacecraft.

If it is an unmanned spacecraft, everything needs to be set up, just like a drone performing a mission. When no one is operating it, it will fly along a predetermined route, and then return directly after completing the mission.

The manned spaceship will have a lot more maneuverability, and the process of the spaceship performing its mission will become much more flexible, and it can complete more tasks.

For example, retrieving soil from the surface of Mars.

This mission is placed on an unmanned spacecraft. How much can be retrieved depends entirely on God's will.

If it is placed on a manned spacecraft, the spacecraft can be manually operated and more Martian soil can be retrieved.

In addition, manned missions also have a great significance, which is to truly land on Mars.

In terms of domestic science and technology for exploring the universe, we do have the most advanced technology, but we have not yet visited other planets.

If we can complete the landing on Mars, it will definitely be very meaningful.

Yixing and the space agency held two discussion meetings, but neither of them decided whether to carry out a manned mission.

Normally speaking, the first time is definitely not manned, and there is no precedent for manned space shuttle. When a manned spacecraft goes to space shuttle, and then lands on Mars to perform the mission, many firsts are completed in the process, and at the same time it also Will increase the risk.

Even if there is a little accident along the way, it will become an irreversible event.

But technically, there is no problem anymore.

Unmanned and safe.

There are many benefits to manned missions, including landing on Mars for the first time, completing several firsts quickly, and the mission can be executed more perfectly because of the operation of astronauts, and other missions can even be added.

etc.

In the ongoing tangled discussion, Zhao Yi's attitude is very critical, and can even play a decisive role.

Because of this, Zhao Yi did not express his opinion. He knew that if he expressed his opinion, it would play a decision-making role.

In his heart, Zhao Yi hopes to carry people, because there is no technical problem, and being able to carry people can be said to be of great significance to both the country and the company.

However, even Zhao Yi cannot guarantee 100% safety during the execution of the mission.

This is where the problem lies.

Zhao Yi had no way to make a decision directly. He listened to many people's opinions, asked several familiar leaders, and continuously contacted the space agency. Finally, he decided to meet several astronauts trained by the company.

Yixing began to train astronauts when it was first established, and the amount of capital invested exceeded 200 million yuan. However, because the time was still short, the astronauts who signed up for Yixing were still "retired early" by the space agency, or had "retired" Retired'.

Of course, there are also some newcomers who choose to join Yixing Company and are slightly less capable.

A company owned by Yixing, there are five astronauts who can perform missions in space on behalf of the company. They are all jointly trained by Yixing and the space agency.

Yixing must pay all the expenses in this regard.

In order to make a decision as soon as possible, Zhao Yi went directly to the training center and met several astronauts. Each astronaut was made of gold, because their training process cost a lot of money.

It's relatively better now because there is anti-gravity technology to simulate the space environment, but training is still very expensive.

Several astronauts affiliated to Yixing Company include Yang Xuesen, Lu Xiaowei, Zhou Jin, etc., as well as the only female astronaut Zhang Liping.

Among them, Lu Xiaowei is the oldest, followed by Zhang Liping, both of whom are approaching the age of retirement.

Ordinary astronauts need to undergo more than three years of training before they can perform missions in space. Lu Xiaowei and Zhang Liping both underwent seven years of training. The seven years are not consecutive, but three and a half years in the first and three and a half years in the next.

They failed to become astronauts and perform missions in space at the best age, so they could only wait silently for retirement.

This is a pity.

However, the establishment of Yixing gave them the opportunity. Both Lu Xiaowei and Zhang Liping chose to retire early and signed directly with Yixing Company, hoping that they would have the opportunity to go to space and become real astronauts in the future.

After Zhao Yi arrived at the training center, he got to know each other and went to the restaurant to eat with several astronauts. The astronauts' meals were specially prepared to keep them in shape.

halfway.

Zhao Yi asked, "Do you all hope to go to space to perform missions?"

"Of course."

Lu Xiaowei pursed his lips hard and said with some excitement, "My biggest dream is to enter space. It turned out that I wanted to enter the space station the most, but I failed in both selections."

"Why?"

"Height!" Lu Xiaowei said, "I'm a little too tall, two centimeters taller. The height and weight of astronauts need to be very standard."

"Really?" Zhao Yi didn't expect this, because the astronauts in his impression seemed to be taller and shorter?

"That's not necessarily the case."

Lu Xiaowei seemed to know what Zhao Yi was thinking, and explained, "Because there are very few opportunities to go to space, the most suitable one must be selected."

"But now I am satisfied. Six months ago, I rode on an anti-gravity thruster, the Type 3 one, to perform a mission of docking the energy source of the space station."

"Um."

Zhao Yi nodded as he listened.

Because it is a satellite of Yixing Company, Yixing astronauts will also be considered to sign contracts when performing relevant tasks.

Several of the astronauts here ride on anti-gravity thrusters, and some have no mission at all. They just go up there to experience it, and complete it as part of the training.

Zhang Liping also expressed her thoughts, "Academician Zhao, I also really want to carry out a real mission. My dream since I was a child is to become a female astronaut. I have worked hard for so many years, but because I am a girl -"

She said a little helplessly.

It's not that the job of astronaut is more suitable for men, but because men don't have physiological problems and have better physiques, they have a considerable advantage over them.

Zhao Yi was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "There is a chance now, but even I don't know if there will be an accident."

"There's a certain danger here, I can say, in space, you know, if something goes wrong, anything goes wrong, maybe—"

He didn't continue, everyone here understood what he meant.

Several people looked at each other.

Lu Xiaowei immediately said, "No matter how high the danger is, I accept the mission."

"Why?" Zhao Yi asked with a frown.

Lu Xiaowei said firmly, "If there is another one or two years, even if there is a chance to go to space, I will have no hope at my age, so I must seize the opportunity, any opportunity!"

"My dream in this life is to go to space and perform a mission, even if it's just once, instead of always being a backup."

"This makes me feel that my past efforts are meaningless and my life is meaningless, so no matter how dangerous it is, I must seize the opportunity, even if I sacrifice my life in the process!"

Zhang Liping said excitedly, "Me too! I have wanted to be an astronaut since I was a child, so the dangers don't matter! Academician Zhao, if you have the chance, you must consider me, I really-"

"real--"

Zhang Liping seemed to not know how to express herself, her voice was choked up, and she finally said, "No matter whether I can come back alive or not, I believe that I will not regret my choice even until the last moment of my life."

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

When he heard the astronauts' thoughts, he suddenly felt very moved. If it were for him, he might not make the same choice.

For everyone living in the world, the most important and valuable thing is life.

If you can take the risk of sacrifice for a certain matter, it is enough to prove that you attach great importance to it.

"good!"

"I will help you fight for it!"

In the end, Zhao Yi made the decision, and also decided to increase investment in the research and development and manufacturing of the spacecraft to enhance the safety of the manned cabin and increase the living facilities in the cabin.

——

After Zhao Yi made his decision, he contacted the space agency for a third discussion.

This time he showed his attitude and believed that manned exploration should be carried out directly. His attitude played a decisive role.

R\u0026D and manufacturing immediately added a 'manned cabin', and related technologies were also geared toward maneuverability. For example, a control room was added, two controllable robotic arms were added, and a landing board was added.

etc.

At the same time, Yixing contacted the space agency and determined the mission content.

The original task content remains unchanged, with the addition of lowering the fixed cabin. The fixed cabin is made of special materials and can be fixed to the ground. It can withstand the main storm environment. It also has compressed glass holes so that the outside environment can be seen from the cabin. .

The fixed cabin also stores certain living supplies, toxic gas filtering devices, and some highly compressed oxygen bottles.

This cabin will be placed in a relatively safe area on the surface of Mars. There will also be a fixed flag made of special materials above the cabin for future exploration of Mars.

If the mission is successful, there will always be representative flags on the surface of Mars in the future.

At the same time, if there are Mars-related missions in the future, the cabin can accommodate several astronauts for about a week.

The astronauts' job is to operate Mars-1 to land on Mars, then assist in lowering the fixed cabin, excavate the Martian soil, bring it back to the spacecraft, and then return to Earth normally.

After discussing the Mars exploration project with the space agency, Zhao Yi returned to Zheng Yang. He had two tasks to care about.

One is a Chinese computer technology company established in cooperation with Space Robot Company. The company has been officially established and has launched a large-scale recruitment work. The first step is to recruit core technical personnel to participate in the research and development of the underlying Chinese compilation software.

This job requires not only computer engineers, but also Chinese language research experts. We are recruiting many liberal arts experts, preferably those who have researched Chinese and understand some computer technology.

Zhao Yi was concerned about the work progress of the new company and also worked on the main framework related to Chinese compilation software.

It is better for him to do this work. Compiling the framework is the most important. As long as there are no problems with the overall framework and there are problems with the filled content, it can be easily corrected.

In addition, it is to start the next step of research and development.

He first decided on two directions, one was the small direction and the other was the general direction.

The small direction is directly related to exploring the universe, which is Z-wave detection technology.

If it is exploration within the solar system, because the scientific community already has a lot of understanding of the solar system, space shuttles by spacecraft do not pose too high a risk.

It will be different when we explore outside the solar system or travel over very long distances.

No one can know whether there is a massive comet or other star one light-year away.

Even space junk-like asteroids that appear on the space shuttle route may cause extremely fatal dangers to the space shuttle spacecraft.

When a similar situation occurs, no matter how high the compression value is, the spacecraft will fall apart instantly. An impact at a speed of several kilometers per second is a very terrifying thing.

Therefore, exploring the universe also requires detection technology, and the most suitable detection technology is to use Z waves for detection.

How to detect it?

The detection method sounds very simple. It is to first send a Z wave and calculate the compression ratio of the Z wave to determine whether there is any danger on the route.

If there are small stars on the route, the compression ratio will definitely be greatly reduced.

It sounds simple, but it is very complicated to detect it. Because there is nothing in the universe, the compression ratio of Z wave will be very high, so high that it must be explained by an index.

When the compression ratio exceeds '100 million', or even reaches '10 billion' or '100 billion', it is very difficult to conduct instantaneous detection.

Even if you just hope to get fuzzy compression values, it is still very, very difficult.

However, if you want to explore outside the solar system, you must master relevant detection technologies. Otherwise, the spacecraft will not be able to apply space shuttle technology to quickly conduct ultra-long-distance space shuttles.
