Chapter 160: The Moon City of Wretched Development
Previously, from heads of state to ordinary citizens, it was generally believed that the Mars mission should not be technically difficult, and Mars was just a little further away from the moon.
Most scientists also believe that human technology is enough to send humans to Mars.
I always feel that it is difficult to launch satellites and probes to Mars.
When nuclear fusion technology stucked the design of the spacecraft, people realized that the power system used for the moon landing plan was a liquid-fuel rocket.
The theory of this rocket was proposed by Russian scientist Thiorkovsky as early as 1903. After more than half a century of improvement and application, by the time the Apollo plan was implemented, this technology was already very mature.
However, nuclear fusion technology is an absolute new technology. It is difficult to achieve overnight technological innovation by practical exploration and improvement like a steam engine or an internal combustion engine.
If traditional liquid-fuel rockets are used, the Mars spacecraft carry too much fuel, and this type of power system is only suitable for close-range space operations.
For example, the moon landing plan, which only requires three accelerations in space, one is the acceleration from the Earth's orbit to the moon, the other is the acceleration from entering the moon's orbit, and the last is the acceleration from the return journey from the moon's orbit.
Except for the first acceleration, the other two do not require much fuel.
However, the Mars mission requires six accelerations in space, one acceleration to Mars, one acceleration during the journey, and one acceleration when arriving at Mars, and one acceleration when entering Mars orbit, and may also require corresponding deceleration.
When returning, you will accelerate once after leaving the Mars orbit, and once during the return journey. If necessary, you will also accelerate once when you enter the Earth's orbit.
Even if the adjustment speed of the two drives into the track is not much fuel, the other four accelerations consume a lot of fuel, which greatly increases the burden on the task.
Jiang Yu was yawning at this discussion meeting and almost fell asleep several times.
Just as he was about to give a message to remind him, someone finally remembered the results of the "Land Plan".
Landing on Mars does not require one percent of the speed of light, because according to the results of the "Stair Plan", the acceleration process is too long and you have to fly until Jupiter to achieve this speed.
You only need to use the "stair plan" method to drive the spacecraft to Mars.
At that time, the equivalent of the hydrogen bomb can be adjusted to a larger extent to provide the spacecraft with more power, so that more supplies can be brought.
As a result, after simple calculations, everyone was a little stunned. The space sail area required to drag the spacecraft may be very huge.
And the required nuclear bomb equivalent is even greater than they thought.
Just as the experts in charge of theory were in a state of great concern, the engineers who built the spacecraft began to urge.
The boss on Mars gave him a year, and the journey from Earth to Mars will take about six months.
At least three months to reserve for astronauts to find Martian smart signals.
So the engineers only have three months of construction time, and such a short construction period is very desperate to think about it.
And these guys in charge of theory are like old men walking around, and they have not yet been able to determine the power source of the spacecraft. How did they build it?
As an expert in nuclear fusion, Ding Yi also participated in the theoretical work of the spacecraft.
He saw Jiang Yu sitting quietly in a corner of the conference room, and went to ask him: "What do you think?"
In Ding Yi's impression, Jiang Yu still had some bad ideas. Maybe Jiang Yu could do something.
And he always felt that Jiang Yu seemed too honest.
It’s not that Jiang Yu is usually active, but that Jiang Yu has always had his own opinions on such major events and often gives people a clear direction in chaos.
Jiang Yu thought for a while: "My idea is to tell the representatives of the PDC about your difficulties."
Ding Yi smiled and shook her head. Those politicians would be grateful if they didn't cause trouble. Can they still expect them to help?
However, even if they do not report the difficulties they are facing in time, the PDC will actively send people to understand. After all, the wisdom signal of Mars gives humans very tight time.
After understanding the inside story, representatives from various countries discovered that the process of going to Mars seemed to be a test for the other party to mankind.
Just as representatives from various countries of the PDC were also feeling sad with the scientists, Jiang Yu silently sent a message to Bil.
So more than two hours later, the "Moon Plan" project team announced to the PDC on the moon that they had already planned to land on Mars, and had a planetary spacecraft that could be assembled on the moon in two months.
This news surprised the PDC. Bill's group's action to land on Mars has received support from Jiang Yu and reported to the PDC.
But there was no subsequent text later. The PDC also investigated that it did not find too many research topics about landing on Mars in the project team of the "Moon City Project".
So when looking for a feasible Mars plan, Bill said nothing, and the PDC's review team thought they had no results.
Who would have thought that they had brought this plan to Moon City and had achieved considerable results.
What surprised the PDC was that the confidentiality of Moon City was so good. Now Moon City has the first group of residents, and they are all supporters of Jiang Yu.
Especially when "anti-escape" was so fierce before, no one except Jiang Yu's supporters were willing to go to the moon.
As long as the first group of residents of the moon are not told, no one knows that they even detonate a nuclear bomb on the moon.
The rotating president of the PDC has a bad feeling, as if the Moon City has been out of human control.
The facts were just as the rotating chairman expected, and soon Bill proposed to negotiate with the PDC to seek more autonomy.
The rotating chairman immediately found Jiang Yu, asked him to restrain his planning team, and warned Jiang Yu that his behavior had violated the guidelines of the wall-facing plan.
But Jiang Yu looked like he was suffering and said, "The control of the planning team is in the hands of the PDC. What's the final say?
"Besides, Bill and I haven't seen each other for three years. We have no intersection outside of work. Why should he listen to me?"
The rotating chairman was so funny that Jiang Yu didn't plan to help!
Jiang Yu asked again: "Or I'll try it on the moon and see if I can tell them?"
The rotating chairman quickly said, "I won't bother you to go on a trip."
He didn't dare to let Jiang Yu go again, otherwise Bil would have no worries.
After leaving Jiang Yu, the rotating chairman even immediately restricted Jiang Yu's travel.
Not to mention going back to China, I can’t even go out for a walk.
Representatives from various countries have expressed that they will punish Jiang Yu after the matter is over!
The Mars spacecraft on the moon, as needed for the official PDC, had no choice but to start negotiations with Bill.
At the same time, PDC is also making preparations. J55s equipped by various countries in space have begun to gather one after another. Once the negotiations cannot be reached, they will immediately go to the moon.
It was at this time that everyone learned that the last lunar spacecraft on the space station had just set off to fly to the moon an hour before Bill issued the statement.
Representatives from various countries suddenly had a toothache. Over the years, they have been building space elevators and space cities, but have not paid attention to the operation of the moon.
So far, humans have only three spacecraft heading to the moon, all of which are in the hands of the "Moon City Project" project team.
The combat radius of J55 is only 2,000 kilometers, while the earth and the moon are separated by 380,000 kilometers. The two are not on the same level at all.
