Chapter 759 Open-top Lunar Module
Chapter 760
Wu Zheng called Gu Lu back urgently just to put him in charge of the lunar module.
In the conference room.
Jiang He and Gu Lu finalized the specific matters.
Start today.
Gu Lu officially joined the lunar landing spacecraft R&D department of the manned lunar landing project.
in this department.
Gu Lu is mainly responsible for the design and development of the lunar module.
In the research and development department of the lunar landing spacecraft, Jiang He gave Gu Lu great authority.
Simply put.
That is, Gu Lu can mobilize any funds and personnel within the department without anyone's approval.
It was precisely because of Wu Zheng's trust in Gu Lu.
Only then did Jiang He give the green light to Gu Lu.
After saying that, Jiang He patted Gu Lu heavily on the shoulder, "Professor Gu, I have placed all my hopes on you!"
The lunar spacecraft research and development department is currently facing a difficult situation, and Jiang He believes that it will be difficult to overcome it with his own strength.
therefore……
Jiang He could only choose to place his hope on Gu Lu.
I hope Gu Lu can lead their entire department to achieve a comeback.
Gu Lu nodded, his expression became much more serious, "I will try my best!"
A kind smile appeared on Jiang He's face, "Professor Gu, I look forward to good news from you."
"Come on, you must be hungry after talking for so long. Let's put the work aside for now and let's eat first!" Wu Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
…………
So, that's it.
Gu Lu finally settled down in the lunar spacecraft department.
Jiang He indeed gave Gu Lu a lot of authority as he said when they met.
Gu Lu was not polite either.
He directly transferred several researchers with good technical skills in the department to come over and help him.
The design of the lunar module is a very complex task.
Gu Lu first took the lunar module part of the Apollo 11 lunar landing spacecraft that Jiang He had copied and carefully observed it after dismantling it.
After getting some inspiration.
Gu Lu then began to draw the design drawings of the new lunar module.
This painting took more than two months.
During these two months.
Jiang He has been observing Gu Lu's every move.
Jiang He was inevitably a little disappointed when he saw that Gu Lu had only stayed in the workshop writing and drawing on a pile of paper for the past two months and rarely did any actual operations.
Jiang He was very worried.
I am very worried that Gu Lu is a scientific researcher who only knows theory but not practical practice and can only talk on paper.
But no matter how worried he was, Jiang He could only wait silently.
Because he can't slap himself in the face by himself.
that's all.
Until early March.
As soon as he got to work that day, an employee from the department ran up to Jiang He and said that Gu Lu wanted to see him for something.
Jiang He was subconsciously surprised after hearing this.
But he still chose to follow the employee all the way to Gu Lu's studio.
Inside Gu Lu's studio.
By this time many people had gathered.
Most of them are core researchers in the lunar spacecraft department.
even.
Wu Zheng, the leader of the manned moon landing project, also appeared here.
However, Jiang He glanced around the room and did not see Gu Lu.
Jiang He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Wu Zheng and asked, "Wu Zheng, is this...?"
Wu Zheng smiled slightly and replied, "It was Gu Lu who summoned us here to discuss the lunar module demonstration?"
"The lunar module argument..." Jiang He murmured, and then asked, "What about Gu Luren?"
"He went to print some materials and will probably be back soon." Wu Zheng replied with a smile.
As expected...
Gu Lu soon came back with a stack of printed materials.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
After apologizing, Gu Lu distributed a copy of the materials in his hand to everyone in the room.
After the distribution, Gu Lu clapped his hands with a smile on his face, "Everyone, this is a design plan for the lunar module that I spent more than two months working on. The information you are holding contains information about the lunar module.
The plan is introduced in quite detail.”
"The purpose of calling everyone here today is to brainstorm and demonstrate whether my lunar module design is feasible or not. If it is not feasible, I will go back and work hard to correct it. If it is feasible, I will go back and work hard to correct it.
,discussing some of those areas that can be improved.”
"Well, you guys watch while I talk..."
After coughing slightly, Gu Lu slowly spoke.
On Jiang He's side, after opening the cover of the document, he saw the design of the lunar module drawn by Gu Lu in the center of the first page.
At the same time, I also understood what Gu Lu had been busy with in the past two months.
and clearly perceptible.
The new lunar module designed by Gu Lu is much more complicated than the lunar module on the Apollo spacecraft.
"...The new lunar module I designed was upgraded from the second stage of the Apollo spacecraft to a third stage. These three stages include a deceleration stage, a landing stage, and an ascent stage."
"The deceleration stage was thrown away after decelerating and braking to enter the lunar landing orbit, and then the upgrading stage was used to provide power to continue decelerating to the moon. After the astronauts completed the lunar surface mission, the upgrading stage was brought back to the lunar orbit together with the landing stage."
The secondary structure is upgraded to a tertiary structure.
This is the first change in the new lunar module designed by Gu Law Firm.
certainly……
This new lunar module designed by Gu Law Firm has more than one innovative point.
One of the boldest innovations, and the one that surprised everyone present the most, was that Gu Lu directly upgraded the new lunar module to a sealed module instead of a sealed module.
In other words, astronauts only need to rely on extravehicular spacesuits and umbilical cords for support, just like landing on the moon in a "convertible".

Directly exposing astronauts to the environment of outer space.
This design looks quite incredible at first glance.
In Jiang He's eyes, this design is even more dangerous to astronauts than that of Apollo 11.
but.
After carefully looking at Gu Lu's schematic diagram of this design, Jiang He didn't think so.
Instead, he started to admire Gu Lu a little.
first.
What needs to be clarified is the positioning of the lunar module.
The lunar module is positioned as a means of transportation.
The lunar module is only responsible for completing the round trip between the lunar surface and the lunar orbit within a few hours. It is not a means of transportation.
Moreover, this kind of means of transportation is one-time and short-lived.
Coupled with the stable outer space environment near the moon, even if the lunar module is designed to be open-top, it will not pose a great threat to the personal safety of astronauts.
So.
There are no disadvantages to this design.
But in terms of advantages, this convertible design has a lot.
The most obvious advantage is that it greatly reduces the weight of the lunar lander, which can double the number of astronauts on the moon. The landing stage only provides support for landing and takeoff on the lunar surface and carries work equipment.
This design…
