Great Country Academician

PS: I wish you all good luck in the new year, may your family be happy, and may everything be well!

The letter does not end here. At the back of the paper, there are some examples and examples of the impact of the development of the aerospace field on real-world technology.

Take Honeywell, for example, a Fortune 500 company that developed in the process of exploring space. It has lit up the human technology tree in many aspects such as guidance and navigation systems, spacecraft and satellite control systems, and display systems.

In the aerospace system, the ‘ring laser gyroscope’ that everyone is familiar with was developed by Honeywell.

For space exploration, whether it is carrying out space exploration missions near the earth, or carrying out space exploration missions to the moon, other planets, or more distant space exploration missions, spacecraft need to accurately measure and control their position, speed and direction.

Navigation systems are a key tool used to achieve this goal, helping the spacecraft determine its current position and velocity and calculate the attitude adjustments that need to be made to meet mission requirements.

In the navigation system, how to measure the angular velocity, direction of rotation, positioning one's own posture, etc. are undoubtedly the most critical issues.

The gyroscope solves this problem. Its emergence has greatly improved the field of aerospace and aviation, and made stable navigation the key to accurate actuarial calculations through computers.

After quickly browsing the letter in his hand, Yuan Zhouli folded it and put it back on the desk.

Opposite me, the old man smiled and asked, "How was it? How did you feel after reading it?"

Yuan Zhouli pondered for a moment, a little unsure of what this person thought of this letter.

After thinking carefully and organizing his words, he spoke carefully: "It is undeniable that with the changes of the times, space has indeed become one of the important strategic development objects in the future."

"And the moon is an important outpost for us to go into space. Whoever can establish a base on the moon first will have the upper hand in this competition."

"only."

After a slight pause, he looked at the old man and said cautiously: "Is this plan a little too forward?"

From the earth's biosphere engineering to the lunar biosphere engineering, the span and engineering difficulty are unimaginable. Even if all the power of the world is gathered, this project will probably take at least five to ten years.

However, he was still quite moved by that person's suggestion.

Not only is aerospace the future strategic development and deployment direction, but the plan proposed in this biosphere project plan to take China as the dominant country and join forces with other countries to develop the lunar surface is worthy of their careful consideration. .

As the person wrote at the beginning of the letter, it is foreseeable that space will undoubtedly be the future of China and the future of mankind.

This is a change of the times, a turning point of destiny. If they can take a leading position in this change, there is no doubt that the future is theirs.

Opposite me, the old man smiled and said, "It's a bit ahead of its time, but I still have confidence in Academician Xu's research and can seriously consider it."

After a pause, he continued: "I would like to ask you to organize a meeting with experts in the corresponding fields from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering when you return to study the feasibility and impact of the lunar biosphere project."

The lunar biosphere project does sound quite outrageous, but the letter sent from that person seems to have a reassuring magic.

From the reuse of nuclear waste, to controllable nuclear fusion technology, to miniaturized fusion reactors and aerospace engines, he has solved one problem after another that seemed almost impossible to solve in this era in the past.

It seemed that as long as he took action, nothing was impossible.

This brilliant achievement alone is worthy of their support.

Across the way, Yuan Zhouli couldn't help but move his eyes when he heard the old man's words. He immediately replied respectfully: "I understand."

I have to say that that person's current status in the country is truly unique.

If the lunar biosphere project was proposed by other scholars, it would most likely be rejected outright if it were an advanced and even outrageous project to some extent.

But now, the intention of the high-level officials is to investigate the feasibility, and even the words of this adult hint that the country will fully support it.

It can be said that from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, looking at more than seventy years, it is difficult to find anyone with such prestige and status.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the lunar biosphere project is also a project worth investing in.

Not only the value brought by the field of scientific research, but also the combination of the power of countries and regions around the world, allowing China to occupy a leading position in future space development, is worthy of their support.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In Xinghai Research Institute, in Xu Chuan's office, footsteps sounded outside the door.

After a while, there were two crisp knocks on the door, and then Weng Yunzong, who managed the Institute of Aerospace Research, walked in and said hello respectfully: "Academician Xu, are you looking for me?"

After the Xinghai manned moon landing project was successfully completed, he returned to the Aerospace Research Institute from Xiashu Space Base to take charge of internal work.

In the office, Xu Chuan put down the pen in his hand, pushed a plan document on the table over, and said, "Well, take a look at this first."

"good."

Hearing this, Weng Yunzong nodded, responded, reached out and picked up the plan document from his desk, and started to read it.

"Development and integration of lunar resources?"

After briefly flipping through the report documents in his hand, he subconsciously looked at Xu Chuan sitting behind the desk, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it a little too early to prepare to mine minerals on the moon now? ?”

Xu Chuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not early."

"The development of lunar resources is a matter of time. Whether it is helium-3, titanium metal, or precious water resources, we need them all."

"More importantly, compared to the Earth, the resources on the moon are limited. Moreover, these resources are not evenly distributed on the moon. They are rich in some places and scarce in others."

"Especially the ice resources we have detected before, the more they are exploited, the less they will be. Making preparations in advance and occupying these rich areas can also save a lot of time for subsequent space development."

Weng Yunzong smiled bitterly and said: "But we have just completed the manned moon landing project. We haven't even established a lunar surface base, so we have set our sights on the mineral deposits on the moon. Isn't this a bit too difficult? Is it too big?"

It is undeniable that the Xinghai manned moon landing was indeed very successful. Not only did they successfully send their own astronauts to the moon, they even rescued two NASA astronauts along the way.

But no matter how you look at it, there is still a long way to go before the mining of lunar mineral deposits.

Not to mention anything else, at least you have to build a lunar base first, right?

When we don't even have a lunar base, talking about mining mineral deposits on the moon is a bit too big a step, right?

Behind the desk, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is why I came to you."

"One of the purposes of our moon landing is to obtain various minerals on the moon. There is a plan in the plan report in your hand. Moreover, the construction of the lunar base and the mining of lunar minerals can be carried out simultaneously. But this requires you to carry out relevant work Work."

After a slight pause, he continued: "You are well aware of the low gravity and atmosphereless environment on the moon. Artificial mining of mineral deposits to build a base is unrealistic."

"In this case, I need a series of intelligent devices to replace manual labor."

"For example, intelligent equipment used for lunar mineral mining, intelligent engineering vehicles for transporting mineral deposits, supporting intelligent refining plants, etc."

"These things will be one of the next phase of the tasks of the Aerospace Research Institute. I need you to allocate some of your energy, or recommend or find a reliable candidate to take charge of these tasks."

PS: Happy New Year! ο(=ω＜=)ρ⌒☆
