Chapter 199 Recruiting Astronauts

Thanks to the good relationship between the company and the country, the astronaut training base of the future technology company can be built so quickly. The training equipment is urgently produced by the country for the future technology company. The training methods are bought from the country, and even related technologies Personnel are also state-backed. It can be said that only future technology companies in China can get this treatment.

After the training base is completed, Zhang Wei no longer has to fly to Beijing Aerospace City to receive training every day. It is not only convenient, but also saves more than an hour of round-trip time. Many hours, that's quite a lot of little money.

After receiving the news, Zhang Wei temporarily put down his work and went to the training base. When he arrived, Liu Hai, Zhang Zhijian, and Qin Xiaobu also arrived one after another.

After visiting the training base, the four of Zhang Wei came to the spacecraft factory near the training base. This is a steel structure factory building with a length of 500 meters, a width of 300 meters and a height of 40 meters. Here, thousands of engineering robots are continuously operating advanced facilities, transporting a large number of parts to the factory building, and building spaceships.

"Dawei, I can't wait to go to the moon. Is there any way to finish the spaceship ahead of schedule?"

Zhang Zhijian asked.

"How can it be so easy? It takes five to eight years for an aircraft carrier to be built and launched. Even for those countries with construction experience, it takes two to three years. Spaceships, like aircraft carriers, have very complicated systems. , the design and construction must have high-tech, new materials, and new processes, and many materials and equipment involve military secret technology. If we did not rely on the power of the country, it would take at least two or three years to complete the construction. Now we can It is already very good to complete the construction within this year. However, we must also work hard to get rid of our dependence on the country and strive to build spaceships on our own.”

Zhang Wei turned to look at Qin Xiaobu, and asked, "Xiaobu, is the purchase of the supporting factories needed for the construction of spaceships going well?"

Qin Xiaobu replied after hearing the words, "In general, it is going smoothly. It is estimated that it will take one and a half months to take down all the target factories and complete the integration work. However, even if we acquire these supporting factories, we still have some core equipment. and materials have to be purchased from the state.”

"I will solve these problems at that time. Technical problems will not trouble me."

Zhang Wei replied confidently, and then changed the subject, "The astronaut training base has been completed, and it's time to recruit astronauts as planned."

When discussing the space program with Liu Hai, Qin Xiaobu, and Zhang Zhijian, Zhang Wei seriously discussed a question: "What kind of model will be used in future space exploration? First, rely entirely on human beings to explore; second ,

Completely rely on robots to explore; third, humans are the mainstay, and robots are supplementary. "

In fact, the space environment is harsh. Weightlessness, vacuum, alternating high and low temperatures, and high-radiation cosmic rays will all pose a great threat to human life. If you switch to a robot, you will not have this trouble. Moreover, with the current level of intelligence of robots, they can completely replace humans to explore and develop space, and humans only need to sit back and enjoy their achievements.

During the discussion, Zhang Wei insisted on adopting the third mode, which is to focus on human beings and supplemented by robots.

Because Zhang Wei doesn’t want to be surrounded by robots when he enters space. Not only will he have to endure unimaginable loneliness and loneliness, but even if he has achieved great achievements, there will be no one to share with him. This is unacceptable to him. of. What's the point of living like this if you can't even find someone to pretend to be.

And in Zhang Wei's view, robots can only and must be subordinate at any time, and cannot replace humans. Human beings can use robots, but they cannot rely on them. Otherwise, human beings will lose the spirit of aggressiveness, self-improvement, defying hardships, and tenacious struggle, and degenerate into cowards, worms, and waste. The reason why human beings can grow into the top of the food chain step by step is because of these spirits. If these spirits are lost, is there any future for human beings? The space age should and must be the space age of human beings, not the space age of robots, otherwise this era will be too pale and powerless.

the next day.

The future technology company issued an announcement on its official website, announcing that it will enter space and realize a manned moon landing a year later, build a permanent base on the moon, and start recruiting astronauts at the same time.

Astronauts need to meet the following conditions:

First, you must be a Chinese national with a bachelor's degree in engineering, biology, physics, or mathematics. (College students can be regarded as having equivalent education as long as they pass relevant tests.)

Second, the height must be no less than 1.57 meters and no higher than 1.9 meters. It must also pass the physical examination of the space agency and be able to adapt to long-term space flight.

...

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.

Everyone has already guessed from a series of layouts of future technology companies that future technology companies will definitely enter space in the future, but they did not expect it to come so soon, and they also announced that they will achieve manned landing on the moon within a year and build a permanent space on the moon. base!

This is too crazy, right?

Doesn't this mean that future technology companies will build permanent bases on the moon before China, the United States, the European Union, Russia, Japan, India and other countries?

Sure enough, it was still Zhang Wei's style, beating the whole world by himself.

With such explosive news, the media from all over the world reported it like crazy.

"Future Technology Company announced that it will enter space, and realize manned landing on the moon a year later, and build a permanent base on the moon!" "

"Future technology company wants to build the world's first permanent base on the moon!" "

"Future Technology Company Recruits Astronauts!" "

Netizens are also discussing it.

"Dr. Zhang, you are going to beat the world by yourself again. Are you really good at being so awesome?"

"Where does FutureTech's aerospace technology come from?"

"Do you still need to think about it? It must have reached a relevant agreement with the country. He provides anti-gravity technology support to the country, and the country provides him with aerospace technology."

"Dr. Zhang is also really awesome, and there will be explosive news every one or two months, but then again, does this mean that the conditions for emigrating to the moon are almost ripe?"

"You think too much. Immigrating to the moon is not that simple. The temperature difference between day and night on the moon is huge. The temperature on the moon's equator is as high as 116 degrees Celsius during the day, but drops to minus 173 degrees Celsius at night. If you want to immigrate to the moon, the moon base will be It must be able to isolate the extreme heat and cold on the surface, which is not easy to solve!

In addition, the gravity of the lunar surface is only 1/6 of that on the earth. In this case, the human body may suffer very serious damage, including muscle degeneration and skeleton demineralization.

There is also the matter of radiation, the earth has an atmosphere and a magnetic field. Both are like giant security blankets, protecting us from solar particles and cosmic rays that basically come from the Milky Way, but on the moon, there is no such natural protection, and we have to find a way to shield ourselves from this. class hazard. Otherwise, the radiation can penetrate a person's skin and affect a person's DNA, causing radiation sickness, cataracts and a dramatically increased risk of cancer. "(To be continued.)
