Genius of the Rules-Style System

A mission to Mars is approaching.

The astronauts participating in the work have been selected, including the eldest Lu Xiaowei, the younger Zhou Jin, the female astronaut Zhang Liping, and the engineer Lin Sheng who is responsible for communications, and the other is Zou Yongcheng sent by the space agency.

Lin Sheng is an engineer in space information technology. He is relatively young, only 29 years old. He can be said to be a genius in the field of communications. He is very familiar with the structure of space communication devices and the internal devices of spacecraft. If a malfunction occurs, he can Make repairs.

Zou Yongcheng is an experienced astronaut. He has performed missions on the space station and lived on the space station for three months. He has also participated in the launch project of energy-gathering satellites. He is the captain of the Mars characters.

For a Mars exploration mission, the most critical thing is to ensure the safety of personnel, complete the round trip of a small spacecraft, whether it can bring back soil samples from the surface of Mars, or other mission tasks are secondary.

This is an order from superiors.

Zou Yongcheng is the best astronaut in the space agency. It will definitely be more reassuring to have the experienced Zou Yongcheng lead the team.

Zhao Yi went to meet the astronauts participating in the mission and said encouragingly, "Don't worry too much, there will be no problems with this mission."

"Whether it's a spacecraft or other devices, we have done our best to ensure that there will be no problems."

"If we talk about a probability, I think more than 99%, there will be no danger to personnel."

"As long as you operate properly during the mission, there will be no problems."

What Zhao Yi said is still very useful, because he has created countless miracles in research and development, and there have been no accidents in related space exploration missions.

Everyone is more willing to believe him.

After motivating the astronauts participating in the mission, Zhao Yi also paid attention to the process of the astronauts performing the mission, that is, how they need to operate and how to complete the mission.

This process was a bit complicated. Zou Yongcheng helped to introduce it, and he also understood it in detail.

When he arrived at the Aerospace R\u0026D Center, Zhao Yi met with senior leaders.

Although it is a project led by Yixing Technology, in fact, it is also a national-level exploration project, even a world-famous project, and high-level officials are also very concerned about the project.

As the Mars mission is about to begin, senior leadership arrives early and will remain here until the end of the mission.

This time span is quite long, requiring at least two weeks or more. The senior leaders can devote more than half a month to it, which shows how much they attach importance to the Mars exploration project.

Zhao Yi saw senior leaders as if he were meeting friends. He talked about going to the astronaut training base and lamented how great and touching it was for astronauts to ignore the dangers of going into space in order to perform their missions.

The senior leaders also said a few words, and then said, "Actually, I envy them. They have the opportunity to go to space, and even go to the surface of Mars. I had a dream when I was a child, which is to be an astronaut and really go to space." .”

"At that time, the radio was talking about the Apollo moon landing. I was very excited when I heard it. I hope that China can develop its own satellites and its own space station in the future. But later, I felt that there was not much hope. At least it would be difficult to see it in my lifetime. , I didn’t expect it, I really saw it.”

"It would be great if one day I could go to space -"

The senior leader shook his head at what he said. He knew that it was impossible. His position dictated that it could not involve life-threatening matters.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Maybe there is hope, I don't think it's impossible."

"Oh?" The senior leaders were a little confused.

He continued, "Yixing has developed a new type of spacecraft. Its functions are to carry people and sightseeing. The most important technology is high-compression tempered glass. You can see the universe through the oversized glass in the spacecraft."

"After this mission is over, if there are no accidents, we can start building a spacecraft for sightseeing, and we will apply for independent anti-gravity thrusters. The two are combined together."

The senior leaders nodded, "There should be no problem for Yixing to manufacture anti-gravity thrusters. We just need to submit a report regarding its usage."

"If it's a manned tour——"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Sounds a bit luxurious, right?"

Zhao Yi did not take up the topic of 'luxury', but continued, "According to the existing design, under the condition of ensuring safety, a manned sightseeing spacecraft can carry more than fifty people at a time, and the spacecraft only orbits the earth. More than a dozen laps will not involve other fields, because the performance of compressed materials is very good now, and as long as you stay in the spacecraft, you will not be affected by space radioactivity."

He talked about the content of the 'sightseeing spaceship' and continued, "We are also considering pricing now. The manufacturing and patent costs of the sightseeing spaceship are about one billion yuan, and the number of uses is expected to be up to fifty times. Extensive repairs, updates.”

"Coupled with personnel and risk costs, if you want to make a profit, you have to earn at least 50 million each time. The pricing of space tourism is indeed a bit high."

Zhao Yi shook his head as he said that. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that the price was too low.

If the total "shipping fee" for each trip is 100 million, the average per person is only more than 2 million, and the unit is only RMB. There must be many rich people willing to pay this money.

For the truly rich, the opportunity to take a spaceship for sightseeing is even more precious. More than two million yuan is nothing at all, and it is far from even a fraction of the assets.

The senior leader asked with interest, "After I retire, if I want to take your sightseeing boat, can I get a discount at that time?"

"free!"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "If you need to spend money, I will help you with it."

"Ha ha--"

The senior leader laughed after hearing this, and he was really looking forward to it.

In fact, if he wants to take a space sightseeing ship, the obstacle is definitely not the ticket price, but the issue of status. Unless the sightseeing ship guarantees absolute safety, there will be no risk at all, because even after retirement, there is still a high risk With status and influence, others will stop you from taking risks.

At the space agency’s Mars Mission Center, final preparations are proceeding steadily.

When it comes to the final stage of the work, most of it is testing the device and verifying the data. There is a lot of data that needs to be verified, and the most critical software system also needs detailed testing.

The most important one is an automatic control system.

The automatic control system of the Mars-1 spacecraft inputs the operations that the spacecraft needs to complete and can perform tasks without human control. However, because the spacecraft is too large, there is no accurate data on what it will be like when it arrives at the Mars landing site. Astronauts are required for auxiliary operations.

Yixing's main work is on software systems, of which intelligent control systems are only one, and also include complex computing systems.

This part of the work was taken over by Zhao Yi for testing, because the computing system is the most critical.

Even without an automatic control system, astronauts can complete the task manually, but it is impossible for astronauts to control the spacecraft to accurately slide into orbit manually. When they operate the spacecraft, they need an accurate auxiliary computing system.

In controlling the operation of the spacecraft, very high calculation accuracy is required.

For example, paddle into the shuttle track.

In this process, the speed and direction of the spacecraft need to be very accurate. That is to say, the spacecraft must arrive at the set location at the set time and have the set direction and speed to ensure that the spacecraft enters the shuttle orbit on time.

At the same time, the control cabin of the spacecraft needs to communicate with the ground in time to know the exact time when the Z-wave generating device releases the Z-wave and establishes the space shuttle channel.

A slight deviation may turn into a big problem.

In fact, deviations can still exist, but the range of deviations is very small. The main reason is insufficient energy and power.

The Z-wave device can only be released once. As long as it is released a second time, there must be a process of accumulating energy.

In addition, the Mars-1 spacecraft also needs to accumulate energy in order to accelerate the shuttle.

To sum up, it is all about energy and power issues.

If the Mars-1 spacecraft does not enter orbit at the scheduled time, it will need to rely on solar power to slowly fly back to the earth. Because Mars is far away from the earth, it will take more than five months to return.

This is the emergency plan.

The Mars-1 spacecraft carries more than a year's worth of food, which is enough for the astronauts to live on, but the main limitation is water.

Water, not just drinking water, also relies on electrolyzed water to create oxygen.

Breathing is what consumes the most.

The efficiency of electrolyzing water to produce oxygen is very high. In theory, one liter of water is enough for an astronaut to breathe for a day.

However, too long a time consumes a lot of money. On the Mars-1 spacecraft, even urine must be used. Theoretically, the longest duration is nine months. If there is no supply for more than nine months, the astronauts will Will suffocate from not having enough oxygen to breathe.

Of course.

Relative to the mission, nine months is enough time.

As long as no accidents occur to the small spacecraft, support can still be provided on the ground, such as sending out another spacecraft to dock with the Mars-1 on a mission.

A connecting device is built on top of the Mars-1 spacecraft, which can be used for docking in space and completing the transportation of supplies.

——

After a week-long preparation, it was time to carry out the mission.

The Mars exploration mission is still broadcast live to the outside world, and it has also attracted the attention of the world. Sixty-one countries will broadcast the exploration process.

As the media put it, "The Mars exploration mission is a major breakthrough for human exploration of the universe, marking the official departure of human beings from the earth."

The farthest distance humans have traveled before was the moon, but the moon is only 300,000 kilometers away from the earth, which is still relatively close.

Mars is different.

Mars is now more than 80 million kilometers away from the earth, which is more than 260 times the distance between the earth and the moon. Exploring the moon and exploring Mars are not on the same level at all.

In addition, it is the technology involved.

Exploration of the moon relies on power provided by fossil fuels and solar energy.

The Mars exploration mission relies on space shuttle technology, which is much faster than the moon exploration mission. In terms of solar power, it also relies on space light energy transmission technology, which is not on the same level as ordinary solar power.

Although it is a major breakthrough for human exploration of the universe, it can actually be simply said to be a domestic breakthrough because no other country is involved.

Many top countries are reluctant and regretful, but they have no choice because the relevant technology lags far behind.

The current direction of space exploration has changed compared to a few years ago. China is leading the development of the aerospace industry, while foreign countries are not even qualified to participate.

In fact, there are also new domestic projects that are opening up to the citation of related technologies. The premise is that they must have absolute dominance in technology and exploration.

This is unacceptable to other countries and institutions.

The top countries and institutions in the world do not want to be dominated in any field, perhaps because their mentality has not changed, or perhaps they still have the hope of developing technology. They are not willing to engage in relevant negotiations because they know how to proceed. Negotiations will definitely be very passive, and the most you can get is a qualification to participate. For example, sending astronauts and scientists to participate in the mission is technically impossible to gain anything.

Of course.

They may be able to obtain purchase rights to the core device.

For example, an anti-gravity device that can release the space cover can be used to create a spacecraft capable of space shuttle.

But the problem is that if you want to travel through space, you need to use a domestic Z-wave generating device.

In addition, if there is any problem with the purchased core device, you must rely on domestic help to repair it.

These are all questions.

If you do not master the relevant core technologies, you will be in an absolutely passive position in the cooperation process. Even if you participate in the manufacturing process, you will only be responsible for some corner manufacturing.

Such is the case with the spaceship project.

The core devices are all manufactured domestically, and other countries and institutions cannot get involved at all, and it is impossible for them to master any technology.

This mission is led by Yixing. Yixing is a normally operating company. Some countries and institutions hope to find a breakthrough in Yixing Company, but the only thing they can do is to block the entry of Yixing Unlimited Power Vehicles- Oral review.

However, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

The unlimited power cars produced by Yixing are far from satisfying even the domestic market, and there is no rush to export them.

If the car is sold abroad, it will be of great benefit to Yixing. The longitude of the geographical location is different, resulting in the time difference between the rising and setting of the sun. People's time habits are different. The driving time can be staggered. It can increase the production of unlimited power vehicles to a certain extent, but losing markets in other countries will only cause some impact on profits.

Yixing is indeed a normally operating company, but the real leader is Zhao Yi, not a consortium that 'pursues profits'. Zhao Yi can have the final say on his own, and there is no impact if there is less profit. He is already the world's top rich man. People.

Time is up.

The live TV screen turned to the slowly rising anti-gravity thruster.

The anti-gravity thruster carried the Mars-1 spacecraft and quickly rose into the air, then turned into a small black dot and disappeared from the ground's field of vision.
