Military Technology

"It doesn't matter whether it's too fast or too slow. The engine requirements and overall control are very demanding. If the deceleration is too slow and the lander's speed is too fast, then the landing speed will increase. Although the gravity on the moon is relatively low, the lander It cannot withstand impacts at too high a speed. This is how the lunar surface probe of our neighbor, a large country in South Asia, failed."

Hahaha……

After hearing Wu Hao's words, the leaders present laughed. Indeed, the third brother's spirit of fighting against defeat has infected many people, or at least made many people feel happy.

Why do the detectors at Third Brother's house fail so easily? What's the reason? A leader couldn't help but become curious.

Hearing this leader's question, other leaders also looked at him. Everyone also wanted to know why the Sanguo family didn't work.

Hearing this, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Actually, there has been great progress, but there are still some differences in some core technologies.

Especially the vector engine and overall control were somewhat inferior, which led to the final failure. "

"Is this difficult?" one leader couldn't help but ask.

It's difficult, at least for the third brother. Wu Hao nodded and responded: "First of all, although Third Brother launches several satellites every year, they lack good rockets, especially high-thrust rockets.

In fact, the take-off quality of Third Brother's rockets is not low, they are all several thousand tons, but the carrying capacity is pitifully small, only a few tons, and the good ones are only more than ten tons, which is very poor.

And we know that the core of a rocket is the engine, so they are relatively behind in engine technology. Although they have continued to learn and absorb foreign success in the past few years, especially the purchase of a lot of technology from Maozi and some cooperation, their technical level in this area has improved a lot, but compared to the national advanced The level is still quite low.

Let’s just put it this way. Although Maozi’s aerospace technology is also very powerful, they are also very poor in this kind of extraterrestrial planet detection technology. Their Mars probe failed several times, and the lunar probe is just like that. .

Letting him teach the third brother is like tutoring a poor student with poor grades. What good results can there be? "

Hahaha……

Wu Hao's words directly made everyone at the scene laugh. Indeed, although what Wu Hao said was a little exaggerated, it was indeed a fact. Mao Zi was indeed very unfortunate in this area. How can the apprentices he taught be so good? .

Why is everyone so keen on going to the moon? Third brother, who is not very financially strong, is also so enthusiastic about lunar exploration. A leader couldn't help but ask.

After hearing this question, everyone started to communicate in a low voice. Indeed, this is something that many people don't quite understand.

Seeing the questioning looks from several leaders, Wu Hao could only answer with a smile.

Actually, there are many reasons, such as political reasons, technological and economic reasons, aerospace development, etc. As far as the third brother is concerned, it is more of the first. To put it bluntly, it is a political need. They want to demonstrate their strength in the aerospace field through aerospace engineering or lunar exploration projects, thereby showing their status as a major aerospace power and a national power.

In addition, its rulers also hope to use this to increase the cohesion of their domestic people. We all know the situation of the third brother. The hierarchical conflicts are very sharp, so we need to divert everyone's attention. This is why they keep causing trouble for us.

Nowadays, many countries also regard this kind of moon landing and entering space as a way or tool to demonstrate their country's influence. The development of many countries is not necessarily an actual need, but may just want to create some movement to show their existence.

In addition, there are actual scientific research needs or aerospace development needs.

We know that the moon is the planet closest to our earth. If we want to explore the universe, the moon is the first step that cannot be avoided. Only by climbing this step can we be able to go up to the second step, and then Climb up level by level.

Also because the moon is close to us, and is a natural satellite of our earth, revolving around our earth. In addition, it has no atmosphere and its own gravity is too low, so it can be regarded as a stepping stone for us to explore the deep space universe, and also from the deep space. A portal from the empty universe into the earth.

Therefore, geographical location is very important. Whoever controls the moon will control our earth's throat to the deep space universe.

To put it another way, the moon is like a port or city on Earth that controls the throats of several straits, such as Shijiapo, Gibraltar, etc.

This is why everyone is so keen on exploring the moon, and one of the reasons why new scientific research stations and bases are built on the moon.

Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at the leaders sitting here, and then continued: "In the end, it is economic reasons. This is also the reason why we engage in lunar exploration and establish a scientific research station on the moon.

First of all, the moon contains rich mineral deposits. In addition to the well-known helium-3 resources, there are also rich manganese, titanium, iron, copper, silver and many other rich minerals. From the composition of some lunar soil explored by our two detectors From an analysis point of view, there are still many so-called elements from the universe that exist at the door, so they are of great mining value.

With the growth of human beings on the earth, the earth's resources will eventually be exhausted. So where will the resources that humans need in the future come from? It can only be the universe above our heads.

The moon is the closest to our earth, so it is of course the first choice for mining. Therefore, this will be a very promising market for Guan Guangmao.

Of course, these may be too far away, a hundred or even two hundred years from now. Let’s talk about something close to home. It is also the most precious resource on the moon and the most needed resource for us humans, helium-3.

The moon probably stores more than one million tons of helium-3 resources. How much is a ton of helium-3 on the international market now? It's three billion U.S. dollars. Let's calculate how much it is. "

After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone couldn't help but start calculating silently. The more they calculated, the more excited they became, and finally couldn't help but communicate with each other.

"According to current scientific speculation, controllable nuclear fusion technology will probably mature and be commercialized in the next ten years. Once commercialized, it will require a large amount of helium-3 resources. It is unrealistic to extract and supply close to the earth, and the cost is extremely high. , then there is an urgent need for helium-3 resources on the moon.

At that time, we only need to transport the helium 3 above, and then we can make a lot of money. Calculated based on transporting two tons each time, we can earn five to six billion US dollars each time. The income is very considerable. It can be said to be a very profitable big business. "
