Great Country Academician

NASA's press conference is like throwing a boulder into a pond that is currently not very big in the aerospace field. The originally rippling lake surface was no longer calm at this moment, and had set off rough waves.

Artemis lunar lander, super-heavy launch vehicle that transfers more than 65 tons of payload from the earth to the moon, life support unit

Each of these entries contains a wealth of information, but none is more important than the first permanent lunar base.

Although countries in the past have announced that they will build lunar surface bases, they are only plans, and few are actually doing it.

Now, NASA is really ready to take action.

For the aerospace industry, this is undoubtedly a blockbuster.

The moon landing, whether manned or not, is important, but it is more meaningful in terms of glory and other aspects.

A permanent lunar surface base is completely different. It involves scientific research, mineral deposits, military, space development and many other things.

There is no doubt that NASA's press conference stimulated the keen nerves of various countries and caught them off guard.

The new round of space race is developing far faster than they imagined, and it is also more exaggerated than the Cold War between the red and blue sides in the last century.

In just over a year, the construction of the lunar base has actually begun.

Despite the continuous development of aerospace technology over the years, this speed is still incredible.

After all, launching a probe, sending a few astronauts to the moon and building a base on the moon are two completely different difficulties.

The former can be said to be a one-time job, while the latter requires a steady stream of materials to be transported from the ground to the sky, which puts a huge burden and pressure on the aerospace field.

More importantly, this news revealed another distant development, that is, "alien colonization seems to be just around the corner."

The moon is a bridgehead and a signal for mankind to enter outer space.

Of course, NASA's press conference not only stimulated the keen nerves of various countries, but also stimulated media reporters and people in North America.

Does China want to put a man on the moon? Then go on board.

We have already landed on the moon. This time we return to the moon. What we need to do is not only landing on the moon, but also building the first lunar surface base and mining lunar resources!

Even ordinary people will be able to travel to the moon in the next few years!

On this day, countless people are looking forward to the construction of the lunar base, looking forward to traveling to the moon, and looking forward to the United States and NASA leading all mankind into space and into the future!

On this day, the market value of countless aerospace companies in the US stock market soared. Companies such as Space-X, Blue Origin, and Lockheed Martin that participated in the Artemis program directly rose to the melting point.

It has to be said that this wave of publicity, driven by major media and NASA, has completely gone crazy.

Immigration to the moon seems to be just around the corner.

No one thinks they will fail. On the contrary, they are looking forward to permanent settlements on the moon and being able to travel to the moon in the near future.

Being able to walk down-to-earth on another planet is fatally attractive to everyone.

On the other side, China.

Under the control of some thoughtful people or guides, NASA's press conference traveled across the ocean to the mainland.

Some people with ulterior motives gave detailed answers to some questions and answers at the press conference, especially regarding the construction of the first lunar base and the issue of who is competing for time between China and the United States.

For example, on a certain 'famous elite community positioning' platform, a 'professional' who tagged outstanding answerers in the aerospace field gave a detailed answer to this press conference.

[After watching NASA’s press conference, I have to say that we are still far behind the United States. 】

[While we are still preparing for manned landing on the moon, the BRF heavy-lift rocket can send more than 65 tons of materials to the moon at one time, including the lunar landing craft and life support units. And this is not the numerical limit of the BRF launch vehicle. It can go higher, but it is not necessary at the moment. 】

[What about the Xinghai? According to previously disclosed data, its carrying load in low-Earth orbit is only less than fifty tons, let alone the transfer load between the earth and the moon. It has to be said that the gap is really too big. 】

[In addition, NASA has also started the construction of the first permanent lunar surface base. I believe anyone who knows about aerospace knows how big the difficulty gap is between manned landing on the moon and building a base on the moon. 】

[After all, if the difficulty of the former is one, the difficulty of the latter is at least a hundred. 】

[Also, here, I really want to ask, who is in a hurry? 】

[You must know that when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, ten experimental tests were carried out from simulated lunar exploration to unmanned lunar exploration to manned moon orbiting. After ensuring that everything was perfect, it was launched on the 11th time. Manned moon landing project. 】

[According to NASA’s revelations, the Xinghai Research Institute, which hosted the first manned lunar exploration project, only conducted two unmanned lunar exploration projects and launched a formal manned lunar landing plan for the third time. This Is it a disregard for the safety of astronauts’ lives? 】

[I think it is normal to want to surpass the United States in the aerospace field, but there are no tricks in the development of science and technology. We must clearly understand the gap. It is not advisable to rush for time. Protecting the safety of astronauts is the first priority]

An analysis article, with the support of money or traffic, quickly became the most popular with the highest number of likes, and was screenshotted or reposted on other platforms such as bib by different authors.

For a time, this seemingly reasonable analysis aroused the support of many people who did not know why.

[I think what this blogger said is really reasonable. There is no trickery in the development of science and technology. Don’t be afraid if there is a gap, just be afraid of not being able to recognize it clearly. Alas, pray for the astronauts who landed on the moon this time. Don’t let anything happen! 】

【Don’t be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! The safety of astronauts comes first! 】

[There’s no point in rushing, right? When it comes to manned landing on the moon, the United States has already done it in the last century. This is not the first time that manned landing on the moon has been done. It is better to test it honestly a few more times. 】

[Le, who is in a hurry? Don't be led astray by this UP master. The manned moon landing in June was announced by our space agency last year. If you don’t believe it, you can check it out. NASA chose the time three days before our launch. Isn’t it just to land on the moon before us? 】

[NASA has bad intentions. Generally speaking, isn’t the manned moon landing plan announced several months in advance? It was suddenly announced that we would land on the moon in a week, and it happened to be three days before we landed on the moon. It was really interesting. 】

[The construction of the first lunar base, tsk tsk, is also open to tourism, but do you know if it will be open to the whole world? 】

[Don’t think about it upstairs, how can Migui be open to the world? It’s not so kind. 】

There are heated discussions on the Internet. Many people support the respondent's analysis and feel that such a hasty landing on the moon is a rush for time and disregard of the safety of the astronauts' lives.

Especially the last point about ‘rushing for time’ and ‘ignoring the safety of astronauts’ caused a lot of discussion.

Even under the leadership of caring people, a group of people launched a petition on the Internet, requesting to cancel or postpone the manned moon landing project on June 21, and to make complete preparations before starting.

The relevant discussion was quickly passed to the Xinghai Research Institute.

Although I usually don't pay much attention to things on the Internet, this time the public opinion has developed into a huge momentum with the help of caring people, and it has naturally reached Xu Chuan's ears.

After reading the relevant reports on his mobile phone, he couldn't help but shake his head.

I have to say, this rhythm is really amazing.

Judging from this article, all the analyzes are reasonable. Xinghai has indeed only conducted two unmanned lunar landing experiments so far, and it does mean that it is in a hurry.

But for the safety of astronauts, a large number of experiments have been carried out.

For example, the landing and return experiments of the lunar module. Xinghai carried two lunar modules for every unmanned lunar landing. Through intelligent control, related experiments such as the landing and return docking of the lunar module were carried out to ensure the greatest possible degree. the safety of astronauts.

Moreover, if we want to say who is rushing for time, why not ask NASA how many unmanned lunar landing experiments it has conducted?

In addition, the difference in load between the Xinghai and the BRF heavy-lift launch vehicle is even more nonsense.

It is undeniable that fossil fuel launch vehicles have their own unique advantages in the field of aerospace, such as large thrust, simple structure and convenient manufacturing.

But just talking about thrust, not the thrust-to-weight ratio, nor the battery life, is just to ignore the facts and act like a hooligan.

The thrust of the Xinghai electric propulsion system is indeed not as good as that of a heavy-duty launch vehicle, but that is only when climbing a gravity well.

If it enters outer space, the load it can withstand far exceeds that of traditional chemical fuel rockets. Even the more than 100 tons of earth-lunar payload disclosed by the BRF heavy-lift launch vehicle cannot catch up with Xinghai.

In the office, Wen Yuanhang, who manages the daily affairs of Xinghai Research Institute, couldn't help but frown while looking at these discussions and analysis articles on the Internet.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the emotions in his heart, Wen Yuanhang looked at Xu Chuan, frowned slightly and said, "The public opinion caused by these articles is a bit big. Do you need me to find someone to deal with it?"

Xu Chuan raised his head and asked with a smile: "What to do? How to deal with it? Delete these articles? Warn them? Then find the author and imprison him for fifteen days?"

After a pause, he continued: "If you can catch a few 500,000 yuan, it's okay. After all, this kind of people really need to be cleaned up."

"But if it is just to suppress these public opinions, in my opinion, it is not necessary. We cannot let netizens say nothing."

"As these articles say, the development of science and technology cannot be deceived. Rather than trying to control everyone's mouth, it is better to work hard to do your own thing, speak with facts, and use facts to fight back. "

"Our time is precious, and there is no need to waste it on these things. The manned moon landing is about to begin. It is more important to be more prepared and ensure the safety of the Xinghai launch and the astronauts."

After casually putting down the news on his phone, Xu Chuan stood up and moved his body. Suddenly he thought of something. He turned to look at Wen Yuanhang sitting on the sofa and asked:

"Tell me, is it feasible for us to have a live broadcast of this manned moon landing?"

"Live broadcast?" Hearing this, Wen Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "The launch of the manned moon landing project will be broadcast live. This is arranged, and CTV media reporters will follow up."

Xu Chuan chuckled, shook his head, and said, "No, I mean the whole process will be broadcast live!"

After a slight pause, he collected his thoughts and then continued: "CTV only broadcasts the initial stage of manned lunar landing, and does not broadcast the subsequent flight to the moon and the moon landing."

"What I mean is to install one or more camera equipment on Xinghai, and cooperate with CTV media's external live broadcast to broadcast the entire process of manned spaceflight and moon landing!"

Across from him, listening to Xu Chuan's imaginative ideas, Wen Yuanhang couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth.

This guy is really weird. He actually wants to live broadcast the entire process of Xinghai's manned moon landing. This has never happened before in history.

But it sounds feasible?

only

After thinking for a while, he quickly asked: "Is this feasible? Is there technical support? And won't the pressure be too much, in case something unexpected happens during the moon landing?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Theoretically, this is completely achievable. Even if the distance to the moon is less than 400,000 kilometers, the transmission speed of electromagnetic signals will only cause a delay of a little more than one second."

"And this delay of more than one second does not have much impact. If it needs to be optimized, it can also be solved through algorithms. In this way, netizens all over the world can see the vast universe and the entire process of our moon landing through live broadcast !”

"However, the stability of the signal still needs to be solved. However, we can launch one or several satellites up to serve as a live communication relay station to stabilize the signal."

“Anyway, there’s still time before the official launch of the moon landing, so you can definitely give it a try!”

"Wait, I'll write a letter to them!"

Looking at Xu Chuan who had sat back at his desk and took out a pen and paper to write a letter, Wen Yuanhang's mouth moved and he hesitated. He was about to continue to dissuade him but finally gave up. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. gave a wry smile.

This guy really thinks about it all at once.

Live broadcast the entire process of manned moon landing? Even if this approach is technically possible, no country would do it.

After all, if something unexpected happened during the moon landing, wouldn't public opinion in society explode?

At that time, it will probably be a major blow to both the country's aerospace industry and his own reputation.

Forget it, let him write it. I think the superiors will not agree to this approach, right?
