"The environment of the moon and Mars are different. Compared with the moon, the environment on Mars will be more harsh. This intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle may perform well on the moon, but it may not necessarily work on Mars.

Moreover, the distance between Mars and the Earth is very far. The longest distance can reach 400 million kilometers, and the nearest distance is 5,500 kilometers. At such a long distance, precise measurement and control of this intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle can be achieved. , which is also technically very difficult. "Zou Huanyi said to Wu Hao.

Wu Hao nodded and replied: "You are right. The environment on Mars is definitely harsher than that on the moon. If we want our intelligent lunar surface patrol rover to gallop on Mars, there are areas that need to be improved and optimized. a lot of.

However, I believe that after experiencing the cruel test on the moon, the performance of this car will definitely be greatly improved. After some professional optimization and improvements, it will naturally be much easier to deal with the environment on Mars.

Mars is indeed very far from the earth, but this actually has little impact on us, because in many cases, our intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle works independently without much human intervention. When it comes to human intervention, I believe that relying on our country's current complete measurement and control facility platform, we will not encounter too many problems in terms of technical difficulty. "

After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present nodded. Indeed, the biggest feature of Wu Hao's "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle is its high degree of intelligence and its ability to get rid of manual control and operate autonomously.

And on a planet like Mars where communication is inconvenient, it is naturally very suitable for the application of this technology, so there won't be much of a problem. As for the problem of difficult communication over long distances, it can be easily solved. After all, our country already has successful experience and related technologies in successfully landing on Mars and launching Mars ground patrol and exploration. At that time, we can definitely cooperate with relevant departments and units.

Glancing at everyone, Wu Hao continued with a smile: "Actually, if the Mars exploration project is really launched, we will not plan to send this intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle directly to Mars.

After all, there are many differences between lunar exploration projects and Mars exploration projects, and the environments they need to adapt to and the detection missions they perform are also different. Therefore, for future Mars exploration missions, we will definitely conduct targeted research and development and manufacture a specialized Mars ground patrol. Rover.

This vehicle is definitely much more powerful than the current one. Not only can it reach areas with more complex terrain and harsher environments, but it also has more detection equipment and related technologies, and can detect and inspect more of unknown substances. "

"As for this sister vehicle of the Wangshu intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle?"

Wu Hao looked at the exploration vehicle in front of him and said with a smile: "If necessary in the future, we can also consider launching it to the moon to perform some other exploration missions."

The meaning of Wu Hao's words is actually easy to understand. The experts and leaders present are not rich in experience, so they naturally understand the meaning of his words.

The so-called "if there is a need in the future, it is nothing more than selling at a price." If the lunar exploration project, or the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle currently on the moon, makes money, the market will have strong demand for this aspect. , then this sister vehicle will definitely consider launching it to the moon to perform related exploration missions at the right time.

But if this project cannot make money, then this project may not be possible anymore. And this sister vehicle of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle may be collecting dust on this stand or in a warehouse.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, it is a private commercial company. Everything must be based on efficiency. If the income is not good, it will definitely be stopped in time. It is impossible to ask for funds from above and wait for funding for high-level research like the research units in the official system. It is also impossible to have the noble dedication to engage in scientific research while chewing steamed buns. It’s all about money!

With that said, everyone moved to a nearby platform. This was a set of models, which were miniature models of the Lunar Commercial Research Station.

In the entire sandbox, in addition to a temporary inflatable experimental cabin, there are also permanent glass experimental cabins, glass shields and other architectural models.

In addition to the main building of the scientific research station, a series of supporting architect-appropriate models are also displayed, which are very detailed.

Qin Xinghe stared at the model for a while, and then asked Wu Hao with interest: "Now it is much more intuitive to see the model on the sand table. Good guy, the area of ​​your scientific research station is not small. What do you plan to do? How to transport people and materials to the moon and back and forth.”

Hearing this question, everyone present looked at Wu Hao. Indeed, this will also be one of the core and most critical issues in the entire manned moon landing project and the construction of scientific research stations.

If you don't solve this problem, everything else is for nothing.

"Haha, everyone, please come this way." Wu Hao said, leading everyone to a booth not far away. At the entrance of the booth, there were several very exquisite spacecraft models.

“If we were to imitate the technology used to land on the moon in the 1960s, it would be too backward, difficult, and very costly, so it would definitely not be cost-effective.

Therefore, we also integrated the technical concepts and structural plans proposed by various manned lunar exploration projects, and thus designed our own manned lunar exploration technology design concept plan.

First of all, what I want to tell you is that our manned moon landing plan is not straightforward like Lao Mi. In that case, the technology would be too difficult and the cost would be too high, which would definitely not meet market demand.

Therefore, our manned moon landing plan also adopts a stepped design, that is, first sending people into space, then boarding a shuttle bus to the moon, and then a special lander will pick up the passengers and land on the moon. "

Oh, this is somewhat similar to our manned moon landing plan. Qin Xinghe said with a smile.

When Qin Xinghe pointed it out, Wu Hao did not avoid it, but replied with a very generous smile: "Yes, our moon landing technical plan also refers to our country's manned moon landing plan.

It's just that our plan is more detailed and pays more attention to cost-effectiveness. Therefore, the method of sending personnel and materials to the moon may be more cumbersome, so as to reduce costs as much as possible. "

After hearing what he said, everyone's interest was immediately aroused. Zou Huanyi said with interest: "Xiao Wu, can you explain it to everyone?"
