Rebirth of a technological power

The hatch opens.

After a little adaptation to the Earth's gravity.

The astronauts and scientific researchers unbuckled their seat belts, but they did not get up directly at this moment.

Being in a state of weightlessness for a long time makes the human body very fragile.

So at this moment, the medical staff got on the space shuttle and gently carried the astronauts off one by one.

As soon as the astronauts came out of the hatch, they smiled and waved gently to everyone.

There are medical staff, representing everyone, paying tribute to the astronauts with flowers.

After a press conference, the astronauts and scientific researchers were put into medical isolation.

After all, no one knows whether some bacteria and microorganisms will be brought back from Mars.

Of course, it is also to prevent genetic mutations and help astronauts adapt to the ground environment.

During medical isolation, astronaut doctors will also conduct medical examinations on the astronauts and arrange some appropriate training for the astronauts in accordance with the principle of progressive cycles.

And even if you complete these, it is only the first step.

The second step is to arrange for the astronauts to recuperate and restore their physical and mental health.

Only after completing this series of work can astronauts and scientific researchers go home to visit relatives and meet their families.

As for the things brought back from Mars, they will be kept strictly confidential and sent to various Mars-related scientific research institutions for further research.

It was also at this time that CNSA officially announced that China's manned landing on Mars was a complete success.

This is a milestone for China’s aerospace industry!

Likewise, it is also a huge milestone for the world’s aerospace industry!

The significance of China's manned landing on Mars this time is no less significant than NASA's first manned landing on the moon, or even more!

At the same time, at this press conference, CNSA announced that China will establish the first permanent scientific research station on Mars for Mars scientific research.

The news immediately caused a big stir.

The permanent scientific research station on Mars reminds people of the permanent scientific research station on the moon, the Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station!

At the beginning, the 'Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station' was not large, but now the area of ​​the 'Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station' is quite considerable. You can see the 'Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station' even if you use an astronomical telescope.

The current permanent scientific research station on Mars does not mean that China is going to Mars for a stroll. The symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance. It means that China is serious about Mars!

Although Mars is very far from the earth, with the nearest point reaching 55 million kilometers, and the farthest distance reaching 400 million kilometers, the environment on Mars is also very harsh, with deserts everywhere, and the average temperature is only about -55 degrees Celsius. In winter The temperature is as low as -133 degrees Celsius, and in summer it is 27 degrees Celsius during the day.

But you must know that the surface area of ​​Mars is equivalent to the land area on the surface of the Earth, and the resources on Mars are quite abundant.

According to the analysis of samples brought back from Mars, the resource reserves of ilmenite on Mars are as high as 1500 to 2000 trillion tons, the resources of rare earth elements are about 22.5 billion to 40 billion tons, and the reserves of phosphorus, potassium, thorium, uranium and other elements are also Very rich.

It can be said that once Mars is mined, it means there are a lot of resources.

Not to mention, there may be elements on Mars that are not found on Earth!

NASA is holding a meeting.

This time CNSA successfully landed humans on Mars, which was a huge shock to NASA.

If before, NASA could barely maintain its stubbornness as a leader in the aerospace field, then at this moment CNSA successfully landed humans on Mars, which can be said to have shattered their stubbornness and confidence.

Since CNSA successfully landed humans on the moon, NASA has received a large amount of funding and hopes to restart manned moon landings.

But time has passed and tens of billions of dollars have been spent. But now, it has been unable to carry out a manned moon landing, and even unmanned landing on the moon has not been successfully achieved.

We can’t even land a man on the moon, let alone land a man on Mars.

According to the reasons given, it is because they no longer have a complete industrial chain.

Forty years of deindustrialization have fragmented their industrial chains.

If we want to remanufacture, we need to purchase more than half of China's industrial products.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to NASA.

And how difficult it is to reconstruct the industrial chain.

After all, they are used to making money easily in finance. Who wants to do hard work to make hard money when they can make money easily.

A blue-collar worker can support a family of five, own a big house and a car. This kind of life is long gone.

Even many industries that originally contained high-tech content are now on the verge of bankruptcy.

Qualcomm and other companies are constantly laying off employees.

Chips have almost become a bargain.

Apple is losing ground in high-end smartphone markets, and is gradually losing ground in the North American market. Its revenue and profits are declining, and it has laid off three consecutive rounds of layoffs.

Under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before high-end manufacturing industry falls.

Unless they can once again conquer some extremely difficult technologies in a short period of time, they will have an industry that can earn excess profits.

At this time, the entire NASA conference room was filled with an air of decadence.

Everyone's spirits were shattered.

From the gray-haired old engineers to the young engineers, everyone is filled with despair.

Once upon a time, they were the leaders in the world's aerospace industry, and no one dared to question them. Every engineer was the world's authoritative aerospace expert.

The annual space funding is more than the total space funding of other countries.

But who would have thought that half a century ago, NASA claimed to have achieved manned moon landings, and it was not just one manned moon landing, but multiple manned moon landings. As a result, half a century later, various technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds, but they have not been able to do so. Manned landing on the moon, even the technical data were lost in a fire.

In fact, NASA doesn’t even have a space station.

Although funds for the construction of the International Space Station have been raised from other allies, so far, there has been no sign of building a space station.

Well now, our counterpart CNSA has achieved manned landing on Mars.

"Everyone, who can tell when we will be able to send our spacecraft and our astronauts to the moon?" The director of NASA was going crazy: "Are we just watching helplessly, our little brother CNSA , do whatever you want on the moon, and wantonly race and enclose the land!?"

"If we fail to land a man on the moon, all of us here will be sinners of the country!" The NASA director has been under tremendous pressure in the past three months.

So much money was burned, but in the end there were no tangible results.

Even when others are eyeing the funds in the hands of NASA, they have to rely on the assistance of their little brother CNSA to keep the funds in their hands.

But he knew very well that if he failed to produce results, it would mean that he would be fired, and it would only be a matter of time.

Unfortunately, the response from the NASA director was only deathly silence.

Because they all know that manned landing on the moon seems simple, but actually contains various complex technologies.

If we just snap our heads and launch a manned moon landing directly, then there may be a high probability that the astronauts will never return.

As a last resort, NASA could only say in an interview with the media: "The moon and Mars are the common wealth of mankind and cannot be possessed by any one country."

As a result, CNSA responded immediately: "CNSA respects the moon and Mars as the common wealth of mankind, and welcomes space agencies from all countries to go to the moon and Mars, explore the moon and Mars together, and make progress together."

Suddenly everyone was speechless.

In the entire world, only China, the United States and Russia have mastered manned space technology. As for other countries or organizations, not even the European Union, they have not mastered it.

Under such circumstances, manned landing on the moon is simply a fantasy, let alone manned landing on Mars.

Even astronauts cannot be sent to the moon and Mars, let alone developing the moon and Mars.

But there are always surprises. For example, the Indian Space Agency said that they will invest heavily in manned spaceflight and at the same time carry out manned moon landing projects.

Speaking of the Indian Space Agency, we have to mention that it has more than 20,000 employees. Known as the world's largest government space agency.

As for India's aerospace industry, it learned from the Soviet aerospace industry.

In recent years, Indian aerospace has also achieved quite impressive performance, especially news about killing multiple stars with one stone from time to time.

As early as more than 20 years ago, India's aerospace industry announced that it would carry out manned spaceflight and manned moon landings. Unfortunately, the timetable has been continuously delayed. As a result, it has already exceeded the original manned moon landing timetable, but even manned spaceflights have failed to do so. Didn't happen.

Now that it has emerged again, it can only be said that Indian aerospace is inherently unwilling to play a supporting role, but only wants to be the protagonist.

Cai Jin was currently upgrading Benben.

Since its original body evolved into an aerospace fighter, and later upgraded into a space shuttle, Cai Jin has kept the "Benben" body in space.

As for the intelligent robot dog that usually follows him, it is just its intelligence.

"The most important thing now is the body material!" Cai Jin stroked Benben's body with his hand. In fact, its body material is already the most advanced aerospace material in the world.

"Materials, optimize!" Cai Jin muttered, focusing all optimization points on the materials.

Swish Swish Swish~~~

Small lights flickered.

Then I saw that the color of the material of ‘Benben’ had changed significantly.

"Croloy?"

Soon, materials were optimized and improved again and again, and a large number of material formulas and final alloys appeared.

The final material is called Crow alloy.

Crow alloy is based on a metal called 'blue gold', forming an alloy that is harder than diamond.

Blue gold metal needs to be heated to 6,000 degrees Celsius before forging can begin.

6000 degrees Celsius, which is the same temperature as the surface of the sun!

It can be said that this blue gold metal is extremely precious.

As for the Crow alloy, it is divided into 9 levels. The performance of each level of Crow alloy is greatly improved.

The current body material is grade 9 Crow alloy. Even if it collides with micro-celestial bodies and space junk while flying at high speed, it will be fine.

"Hiss~~" The more he understood, the more Cai Jin gasped.

This Crow alloy is terrifyingly strong!

Far beyond the world's most advanced alloy materials.

"I want to give it a try to see if this Crow alloy is really that powerful!" Cai Jin was ready to move.

I looked outside and saw that it was already late at night.

Cai Jin then took control, and 'Benben' went out and disappeared directly into the night.

Soon, 'Benben' had reached an altitude of 100 kilometers above the ground, which is also the dividing line between sky and space.

Cai Jin controlled 'Benben' and flew towards an abandoned satellite at a speed of 7.9 kilometers/second.

Boom~~

In such a high-speed collision, this abandoned satellite hit Benben, without a huge explosion that shattered the sky and earth.

There are just a few traces.

Cai Jin asked ‘Benben’ to do the test.

The loss caused by the impact is only 0.1%, which is almost negligible.

"It's so scary!" Cai Jin looked at the shattered satellite and took a breath of air.

You know, the energy burst out from this kind of high-speed collision is extremely terrifying, but even so, there is almost no damage to this Crow alloy.

Later, Cai Jin conducted another test, and soon 'Benben' reached the Earth's second cosmic speed, which is 11.2 kilometers per second. This speed can allow the spacecraft to escape the shackles of the Earth's gravity and fly away from the Earth. into orbit around the sun.

‘Benben’ flew directly towards an asteroid with a diameter of 5 meters.

Normally, people like this would start to avoid something hundreds of kilometers away.

But this time in the test, it hit him directly.

This time, the damage was 1%, which was also not enough to cause a fatal impact on the space shuttle.

Cai Jin smacked his tongue, this level 9 Crow alloy is really terrifying.

Cai Jin estimates that based on this calculation, the speed of the space shuttle can easily reach 100 kilometers/second, and it is not impossible to even reach 200 kilometers/second.

At this speed, it is possible to leave the solar system.

If the speed of the spacecraft reaches 200 kilometers/second, it will only take 260 days to fly out of the solar system.

Of course, the faster the speed, the farther the detection distance needs to be to avoid risks.

"These alloy materials can be used step by step!" Although there is the most advanced 9-level Cro alloy, Cai Jin has no intention of directly creating it, because it is very simple, with so many optimization points, evolving the material to 9 Grade Chromium alloy is not cost-effective.

And now China does not need such advanced alloy materials.

We now have enough materials to go to the moon and Mars.

More advanced ones can gradually release applications.

Cai Jin could even imagine that if a mecha was made of level 9 Croton alloy, it would be safe even in the center of a nuclear explosion, not to mention being attacked by artillery shells and rocket launchers.

If fighter jets, tanks, and armored vehicles are made of this alloy, no missiles can threaten them. They will be the biggest weapon on the battlefield and a nightmare for the enemy.

Cai Jin now understands that the most precious thing in his hands is not the bionic robot or artificial intelligence, but the various alloy materials he has mastered.

The value of these alloy materials is inestimable, and it can even be said that they cannot be measured by money.

Especially this kind of Crow alloy is the most precious.

"It seems that I have to go to the moon when I have time to see if I can find this blue gold metal!" Cai Jin had the urge to go to the moon at this time.
