Genius of the Rules-Style System

The manufacturing of transport ships is very important. Whether it is Yixing, the space agency, or high-level departments, they are very concerned about the manufacturing progress of transport ships.

Compared with sightseeing boats, transport ships have higher-end technology and are more complex to manufacture, and their functions are not comparable to sightseeing boats.

In the spacecraft project, the transport ship is the most important auxiliary small hull. The transport ship is used to perform many tasks. The transport ship is not used for transportation, but can also have other functions.

During the manufacturing process of the transport ship, the sightseeing ship has also been tested, and in more than two months, three and four rounds of testing were quickly completed.

The three-round and four-round tests test the reliability of the sightseeing boat equipment. At the same time, they also test the anti-gravity thrusters manufactured by Yixing.

The thruster designed by Yixing is different from the thruster of the space agency. It has many corresponding improvements and can be said to be an upgraded version. At the same time, it also uses the electronic system and intelligent system developed by Yixing.

The latter is critical.

Just like a mobile phone, using different operating systems, the functions displayed are different.

Although the general functions are very similar, the operation of the electronic system will bring a large amount of data.

This data is extremely valuable.

The space agency's ability to possess numerous technologies is inseparable from its experience in previous space explorations, and part of that experience is a series of data.

The thrusters manufactured by Yixing successfully completed the mission, which means that they have thruster manufacturing technology and can independently design and know their own thrusters.

This is a major weakness of Yixing Company. Every time it carries out a related launch mission, it can only use the space agency's thrusters. Not only does it increase the corresponding cost, it will also be restricted in carrying out related experimental missions.

For example, their experimental missions cannot conflict with the space agency's plans.

Now that they have their own thrusters, they can freely carry out some experimental tasks. Coupled with the high-energy Z-wave satellites that establish space routes, they have the ability to lift off the spacecraft from the earth, complete the shuttle, and then land other The planet executes the character and returns, all the technology in the process.

If the Mars exploration mission is carried out now, Yixing Company can even complete it alone without the assistance of the space agency.

At the same time, the thrusters can also be installed together with small spacecrafts such as sightseeing ships, transport ships, etc., so that the spacecraft can use anti-gravity technology to take off and land from the ground alone.

After completing the fourth test, Yixing held an internal meeting to emphasize the standardization of the very design.

This standardization is mainly about the connection between thrusters and spacecraft.

If the two are added together and compared to a fighter jet, the propeller is the engine of the fighter jet. They hope to be able to create a standardized engine so that the same engine can be installed on no matter what type of fighter jet is designed.

If corresponding standardization can be achieved, there will be no need to bundle thrusters with fixed models of spacecraft. If either one of them has a problem, the other can be replaced.

At the same time, the space agency also started manufacturing transport ships. They received technical authorization from Yixing Company and decided to build a transport ship belonging to the space agency in order to start the "Lunar Radar Project."

It is also a very important development for the space agency to build the same transport ship.

This means that transport ships may achieve large-scale and standardized manufacturing in the future.

Internationally, there is no precedent for standardized manufacturing of aerospace equipment.

Domestic Z-wave satellites and energy-gathering satellites have all been standardized, and the prerequisite for standardization is that a sufficient number of equipment must be manufactured.

Obviously, general detectors do not meet standardized conditions.

Many detectors are manufactured with fixed tasks. For example, the Mars detector is used to detect Mars, and the lunar detector is used to detect the moon. Every time a detection mission is performed, it makes little sense to manufacture more detectors of the same type.

Z-wave satellites and energy-gathering satellites are different.

Z-wave satellites are just like weapons and equipment. They can be manufactured in large quantities. More than 500 units have been deployed so far. If it were not for the need to upgrade technology, we hope that the Z-wave satellites manufactured will last longer and the number of manufacturing can only be higher. Can not be less.

Concentrated energy satellites need to be standardized more than Z-wave satellites because the demand for unlimited transmission of solar energy is almost unlimited. Unfortunately, due to the extremely high cost, rapid mass production is not realistic.

The current transport ship has built a second one. If it passes the testing phase and the hull performance is deemed to be up to standard, the third and fourth ships will definitely be built. Spacecraft need transport ships, and so does the lunar base plan.

"If the lunar base plan is launched, at least four more transport ships will be needed to continuously travel between the earth and the moon."

"We need two spaceships, and they must be technologically mature."

"So, at least four more ships need to be built!" This is the judgment made by the space agency and Yixing after joint research.

The manufacturing process of transport ships is much more complicated than that of Z-wave satellites and energy-gathering satellites. During the manufacturing process, relevant personnel will also discuss and record which parts can be manufactured in a standardized manner and which parts must be manufactured separately. manufacture.

The space agency and Yixing are also in constant communication and discussing the lunar base plan.

The lunar base plan sounds like just building a base. In fact, the technology, difficulty, and amount of engineering involved are too huge. It is more long-term thinking, and even exceeds the spacecraft plan.

The spaceship plan is just to build a spacecraft, while the moon base plan is to build a base. The base must have a huge transmission energy center, large radar facilities, and enough space for human beings to carry out normal activities.

When humans work on the moon for a long time, they will need to be equipped with a large number of space suits, lunar rovers, a large amount of food reserves, various high-tech equipment, in addition, including experimental and research equipment.

etc.

"This is a bigger plan than a spaceship."

"It will be a super big project, and it may exceed the spaceship in the future."

Zhao Yi made a judgment.

Although the project may indeed surpass the spacecraft in the future, the base is accumulated bit by bit, rather than all manufactured before it can be used, and investment can be made slowly instead of allocating a huge amount of funds at once.

Therefore, Yixing’s funds are still sufficient for the time being.

soon.

The sightseeing boat is about to begin its fifth round of testing. The fifth round is a secret test. The test plan has not been announced to the outside world. This is mainly because senior leaders and Zhao Yi will board the sightseeing boat to join the test.

This has already been decided.

Although many people advised him not to upload it. After all, it was just an experimental test and could not guarantee 100% safety. In the end, they decided to board the ship together.

Because they all know in their hearts that even if the sightseeing ship has started operating, there will definitely be a lot of people trying to persuade them not to let them get on the ship easily. After all, it is a brand-new technology that has not been developed for many years. There will always be risks in space. , no one can guarantee absolute safety.

Although the fifth test was not announced to the outside world, a small number of people knew about it internally, especially those who participated in the test. After it was confirmed that senior leaders and Zhao Yi were on board, a large number of people immediately rushed to join. Their The slogans were shouted very loudly.

"We must also contribute to the test, even if we risk our lives!"

"The sightseeing boat project is so important. Only by experiencing it myself can I know where the problems are."

"I don't believe in those experiencers and the like, especially when it comes to technology. How can I know if I don't go up there and take a look?"

"I want to go with Academician Zhao. If there is danger, I will rush to the front!"

Zhao Yi wanted to complain when he heard it, "This is not going to fight. Even if you go to fight, you are not a professional bodyguard. You can't react even if you want to be a bullet."

"Now we are going to space to do a test of a sightseeing ship. Why are we rushing to the front? If I don't wear a space suit and rush out, I will raise my hands and give thumbs up at the same time!"

Of course.

No matter what he thinks, there are still a lot of people who want to go, some of them are really for protection, and most of them just want to experience the sightseeing boat.

This is an opportunity to go to space!

Even as an expert from the space agency or an employee of Yixing, you may not have such an opportunity in the future.

If the sightseeing boat is officially put into operation, the ticket price will definitely be exorbitantly high. Now it is free. There is still a great reason to contribute to the sightseeing boat test and risk one's life. There is no better opportunity. .

As a result, there were a lot of people joining the sightseeing boat.

More than thirty of them are employees of the space agency. Zheng Long, the leader of the space agency, said internally, "This time it is also a work benefit. No other unit can have this kind of benefit."

There are more than two dozen Yixing employees, including Yuan Haitao, Zhou Kai, etc., and even Li Jianming.

Li Jianming only participated in the design work of the sightseeing boat, and his reason was, "Only by getting on the sightseeing boat and experiencing it can we know how to improve it in the future."

This reason is really powerful.

Zhao Yi wanted to just go over and kick him, because he completed the main design alone. Of course, considering Li Jianming's age, it was really not good to directly kick him, so he could only add the other party's name.

After confirming the quota for boarding, everyone was very excited and looking forward to it. They seemed to have forgotten the original intention of taking the test and regarded it as a work benefit.

——

Work benefits will have to wait until the fifth test.

During this period, the space agency and Yixing Company announced a big news together, "We have decided on a big project called the Moon Base Plan."

"This will be the first time that humans have built a base on another planet, and it will be an important step in human exploration of the universe."

"Regarding the lunar base plan, the space agency and Yixing Company will hold relevant press conferences together, and world media are welcome to interview and report."

After the news was released, it immediately caused an international sensation.

A large number of media poured into the capital to prepare for relevant press conferences. They hoped to confirm the news of the moon base plan and learn relevant details.

As the announcement said, building bases on other planets, even on the moon, to some extent marks the beginning of interstellar immigration.

This is no longer space exploration, but has passed the exploration stage and transitioned to the early stage of immigration.

As soon as the press conference began, the venue was already crowded with reporters. Many reporters had to stand in the aisles, making the venue overcrowded.

Fortunately, there were a large number of security guards responsible for maintaining order, which did not affect the progress of the press conference.

Zhao Yi sat in the middle, and next to him was Zheng Long, the direct leader of the space agency.

At the beginning, the host of the press conference gave a brief introduction, "This is a press conference about the lunar base plan. First, the internationally renowned scientist, Academician Zhao Yi, the president of Yixing Company, will introduce the project!"

The venue was filled with applause.

Zhao Yi turned on the microphone, looked at everyone and said, "The moon base plan is a plan that we and the space agency have discussed together. It can also be a project that we will continue to invest in in the future."

"For the time being, there are two main points. We hope that the moon will be a springboard to build a large-scale shipping channel to the universe."

"The second is scientific research. We will build large-scale radar facilities on the moon. In the vacuum environment of the moon's surface, the effect of the radar telescope will be dozens or hundreds of times higher than those built on the earth."

"At the same time, we will build corresponding closed activity areas for scientists and personnel to live and work on the moon."

Zhao Yi briefly explained the main plan, and then others spoke.

Zhou Kai, manager of Yixing, explained the space channel plan, "I will not build a high-power channel, and hope to send detectors to other galaxies."

"When it comes to crossing distances measured in light years, you need a lot of power to support space travel."

"If we can complete this plan, we will first send the probe to nearby galaxies to really see how the environments of other galaxies are different from those of the solar system."

"This kind of detection is very important. It can be said to be an important preliminary work for the operation of the spacecraft."

"At the same time, we will rely on relevant channel technology to explore a relatively safe channel to other galaxies."

"This is not a space channel, but a spacecraft channel. Our plan is to explore a safe channel so that future spaceships can follow the channel and fly to other galaxies for exploration."

The representative of the space agency said about the radar project, "If a large radar facility can be built on the moon, it will allow us to better understand the starry sky and the universe. There are many astronomical mysteries that require more accurate radar telescopes to determine." "

"We have observed gravitational waves, but there are still many undiscovered things in the universe that require us to observe with higher-precision and clearer instruments."

"That's why we implemented this plan, hoping to make humans better understand the universe and the stars."

"At the same time, I announce here that we will build a very large space center for use by many aerospace workers, and rely on existing data and future equipment to compile and produce star maps of the universe."

"This is going to be a major part of the space center's work."
