Super technology leader

The more I interacted with Tang Chao, the less I understood the true extent of Tang Chao and the Tang Dynasty's capabilities.

Just when you thought you knew how powerful they were, they would immediately display something even more impressive.

Just when you thought you were about to reach their vault, you would immediately realize that it was just one of their storage rooms.

These changes repeatedly influenced the cooperation between the two parties.

It also proved from another perspective that the stronger the strength, the more open the cooperation.

For example, right now.

After a preliminary discussion about the lunar habitation module and commercial space station module, the people from the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Space Administration went offline to prepare for a meeting in a week.

Zhao Li took a sip of tea and coughed, "Well, Tang Chao, we have another transaction intention, would you like to hear it?"

"What transaction intention?"

Tang Chao was stunned for a moment, and then said easily, "We've cooperated so many times, just say it directly."

"It's about the powered exoskeleton you used in the Los Santos riots some time ago."

Tang Chao became excited as soon as he heard this term, and said with a smile, "Hey, you guys are really good at holding back, you're only asking now, I thought you would ask the day I came back."

"This is a major matter after all. After listening to Comrade Li Bing's report, we definitely have to have a meeting to discuss it, to discuss 12345 points, such as whether to purchase or buy technology, where the money will come from, etc., all need to be discussed."

After Zhao Li explained, he looked at Tang Chao and said, "Besides, you just came back from that kind of place, you need to take a breather."

Tang Chao nodded upon hearing this, acknowledging his statement, "This can also be discussed. How about we schedule it for a week later? At that time, I'll introduce the various models of the exoskeleton. The one used before was just one model. The more you know, the better you can make a choice, what do you think?"

"Of course, that would be even better."

Buying is a must, but whether to buy technology or directly purchase in large quantities, they must first understand the specifics.

After all, Tian Xia also has specialized institutions researching powered exoskeletons. Although it is not yet mature, they definitely know about the various usage scenarios and models.

And the model they saw that day was obviously not all of them. That mature state didn't seem like there was only one type.

It's always right to understand it carefully at that time.

After saying this, the meeting ended. The next meeting will not be known to outsiders, because those are conducted in secret. What attracts the world's attention are still various major actions.

A few days later, the Mars probe that had been flying in space for seven months finally entered Mars orbit in late February.

The Petroleum Alliance's "Hope" probe successfully entered orbit and began to circle Mars continuously.

The "Hope" Mars probe will observe the escape of the upper atmosphere of Mars, the movement and structure of the Martian atmosphere, the Martian atmospheric temperature model, and look for ice and water vapor on Mars.

Its goal is to establish the first truly comprehensive model of the Martian atmosphere, helping humans uncover a series of unsolved mysteries about Mars.

Then, Tian Xia's Tianwen-1 probe and America's Perseverance probe successfully released their Mars rovers and landed successfully, starting to cruise on Mars.

Among them, the "Perseverance" rover also carried a miniature unmanned helicopter, becoming the first aircraft to take off on the surface of another planet.

Three out of three, making the success rate of human exploration of Mars soar, reaching 43.75% at once.

emmmmm……

Cough, the success rate has indeed soared, after all, the previous success rate was only 40%, this time it has increased by nearly four points.

Before these three Mars exploration missions were carried out, humans launched a total of 45 Mars probes, but only 18 were "successful", with a success rate of only 40%, less than half!

The reason why "successful" is in quotation marks here is because many Mars probes completely lost contact after reaching Mars orbit or landing on the surface of Mars due to various reasons.

This time, three were successful at once, increasing the number of probes to 48 and the number of successes to 21, resulting in this huge leap.

This proves both the difficulty of Mars exploration and the progress of current human space technology.

The success of these three Mars exploration missions really made people happy for a while, but Mars is too far away from Earth after all, and it's not like humans have landed on Mars, so people soon stopped paying attention except for the relevant scientific community.

But it doesn't matter, in March, a space launch mission that is very close to humans but also has enough appeal began.

The "Tianhe" core module of the Tiangong space station was successfully launched.

This big guy, 16.6 meters long, 4.2 meters in maximum diameter, and weighing about 22 tons, is very eye-catching.

Although it is only a module, it is larger than any module on the International Space Station, and the significance is not just that.

The key is, it's new!

Cough, humans are like this, a considerable part of them are fickle.

The International Space Station is big enough, but it is too old. The earliest modules have been in service for more than 20 years, but their design life is actually around 10 to 15 years.

Although it is common for this thing to be used beyond its expiration date, after all, it is so expensive and so troublesome to build, it must be used to its maximum value, but this extended period is too long.

Not to mention, after repairs, it may have to last another 7 or 8 years.

Of course, how long it will actually be in service is a question worth discussing. The annual maintenance cost of several billion US dollars is not worth it for the cooperating space agencies. Some countries no longer want to pay.

Saving for a few years, this money is enough to build another more advanced new space station.

The "late-mover advantage" is not for nothing. The technology of 20 years ago is not comparable to the technology of today. There have been great advances in materials, electronics, solar panel conversion efficiency, and other technologies.

Relatively speaking, the core module launched by Tian Xia is really new. Even if some technologies cannot keep up with the world's top level, that one word "new" is enough to attract people.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Its design life is about 15 years. As for how long it can be used after repairs, no one knows and no one cares.

The old one, whoever wants to care can care.

There is another reason why the "Tianhe" core module is being cared about, that is, the construction progress of the overall Tiangong space station has been accelerated, and it can be completed within this year.

In that way, humans will once again enter the dual space station era, and it will be a normal, long-term usable space station.

In addition to those conceptual commercial space stations and lunar space stations, in a trance, humans seem to be driving on the highway to the space age.

That car speed, whoosh whoosh!

Although Tang Chao watched this launch on site, because Zhao Li knew that he liked to watch these, he issued an invitation to him during the meeting, but this launch has nothing to do with Pathfinder.

The end of March is when Pathfinder will show its face again.

The Canmoon-2 probe was launched.

This time it is considered a cooperation with the Space Administration, because Canmoon-2 used the Space Administration's data and went straight to the Polid crater at the lunar south pole.

After successfully landing, two lunar rovers set off in two directions to find water!

According to the analysis of various materials, there is a very high probability that there is water in this crater.

Moreover, its sunshine rate reaches 80%, and mineral resources are also relatively rich, so it is a very good location for building a lunar base.

If water can be found here accurately, then this place will be promoted to the best location for building a lunar base.

In order not to overstate it, you can add "one of".

But even if Tian Xia's actions are so big, they are quickly overshadowed by the limelight on the coast of America.

Of course, they didn't do anything there. During this period, they launched two satellites and sent a commercial probe to the moon.

It's just because their "big pie" CG is too exquisite.

Various commercial space station CGs, lunar space station CGs, lunar landing and base construction CGs, and Mars landing and base construction CGs bombarded in turn, and people exclaimed science fiction.

New competition, America is temporarily ahead!

But Tang Chao and Zhao Li smiled.

"The plan is going smoothly, one to zero, now it's our turn."

ヽ(￣▽￣)Polid crater, fictional.
