Chapter 1775

Yu Chengdong believed that exploring the moon could provide experience and technical support for human habitation and resource utilization on other planets in the future, and provide new possibilities for human long-term survival and development.

When Xiawei Technology Company deepened its cooperation with Daxia Aerospace Group, it had obtained more "confidential" information.

In terms of the actual progress of the project, Jiuzhou Technology is even far ahead.

Not only can it collect samples at a high frequency of once a month, but it can also leave a large-scale, organized robot team on the moon after each moon landing, let alone explore the moon.

With Yu Chengdong's understanding of Jiuzhou Technology, if Gu Qing told him that Jiuzhou Technology was already working on the development of the moon and built a lunar base, he would believe it.

And there would be no doubt.

In dealing with this amazing genius, Yu Chengdong had already put away his original thoughts and chose to reconcile with himself.

But after really choosing to take another path of self-developed technology, there are also many difficulties.

For example, now

According to the cooperation agreement, they can actually apply for the trial of Jiuzhou Technology's Zhoutian Xingdou Engineering Satellite and Communication System. In that case, according to Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's performance in several moon landings, there should be no data connection jams.

But Daxia Aerospace Group's meaning is also very clear.

Cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology Company and Jiuzhou Xinghai Company is cooperation, but the technology cannot be used by only one company.

As a communication company that has surpassed Xiaxing Communication among the current independent companies in Daxia, Xiawei Technology "best" be able to complete this difficult task with its own technology.

Of course, the technical team responsible for this project at Xiawei Technology has indeed been working day and night to develop technology during this period, so that their company can not fall behind at this time of public attention.

The lunar base is an important goal of Jiuzhou Technology for future space exploration and resource development, and reliable and efficient communication and navigation systems have been developed early.

How can other companies catch up with Jiuzhou Technology's years of efforts in just a few years?

At present, the space agencies and scientific research institutions in the United States, European countries, the Arctic bear, Daxia, Indo and other countries and regions are conducting research on the new generation of lunar-earth communication technology system, lunar landmark recognition, constellation navigation, inertial navigation and other aspects.

NASA originally planned to implement the lunar South Pole landing in the 1024th year of the Xia Yin calendar, and clearly proposed to lead the new pattern of international exploration. However, with the arrival of 1024, the launch mission has always failed, so there is no sound.

After all, leading the new pattern of international exploration does not mean how many examples of lessons learned from failed launches are summarized.

The European Space Agency has proposed a lunar South Pole exploration plan, thinking of gathering the wisdom and materials of scientists around the world to build a "moon village" at the lunar South Pole.

But now Europe's backyard is on fire and the front yard is in chaos. Let alone building a "moon village", it is a good thing that its own country does not "return to poverty".

The Arctic bear originally formulated a lunar South Pole exploration plan and also wanted to build a "base" at the lunar South Pole. However, as a resource-rich country that cannot even build an ordinary lithography machine and has no complete industrial chain, it has not even completely settled its own land, so how can it talk about building a base on another planet?

Daxia originally planned to launch a number of new major aerospace projects. Initially, it said that it would strive to build an international lunar scientific research station before the 1035th year of the Xia Yin calendar, and it did not even talk about building a base.

Now, judging from the actual progress of the successful moon landing in 1027, it seems that there is a better chance to achieve this small goal.

Gu Qing accompanied the senior executives of Daxia Aerospace Group at the Shuiquan Launch Center, exchanging information and talking about industry views. Occasionally, he would go to the command center to help deal with some small problems or answer some small data.

After a while, even without relying on robots, he memorized the general map of the Shuiquan Launch Center. As for the structure and situation of the space below these buildings, it was not the information he could collect with his naked eyes.

Even the mimic robots rooted in the water spring base were unable to draw a complete map of the underground buildings. They could only construct a part of the underground buildings based on some data and comprehensive analysis.

But it was the scale of this small part of the underground buildings that made Gu Qing look at the engineers of Daxia again.

"This is not an underground parking lot. The thickness of the load-bearing wall is probably a place that can withstand a nuclear explosion."

Just after taking a glance at the latest underground building modeling, before Gu Qing could take a closer look, he heard the senior executive of Daxia Aerospace Group in the conference room finish speaking.

"Establishing a base on the moon has always been a subject of human thinking, planning and analysis.

And with the rapid development of our science and technology, the concept of a lunar base, which was originally a science fiction, is gradually becoming a reality.

Previous lunar exploration missions and activities were limited to the use of robotic landers and lunar orbiters, as well as assault-type operations using astronauts. In the next stage, the primary goal of our Daxia Aerospace Group is to achieve permanent human presence on the moon through sustainable methods.

It's just that unlike ground communication, positioning and navigation systems, the long communication distance between the moon and the ground, and the special environment on the lunar surface, such as lunar dust that can interfere with communication and temperature changes that affect equipment, all put forward higher requirements on the reliability and stability of the navigation system.

So we believe that ensuring a stable communication link and precise navigation system with the ground of Blue Star is the cornerstone for the smooth construction and normal operation of the lunar base.

As for the key technologies of communication and navigation of the lunar base, our group and the project teams of various companies have developed a lot of technologies in recent years.

The communication protocol and algorithm of Xiawei Technology solved the problem of communication delay for us. Jiuzhou Technology's communication technology, sensor technology, autonomous navigation algorithm, and satellite communication system not only meet the mission requirements of our lunar exploration, but also provide necessary support for the subsequent construction and operation of the lunar base.

At the beginning, we established the Lunar Development Science and Technology Association in the name of science and scientific concepts, hoping to use real scientific research strength and industrial strength to obtain resources and development rights.

Now it seems that the formal work of our Lunar Development Science and Technology Association is about to be put on the agenda.

We, Daxia Aerospace Group, are very grateful for the support and efforts of all partners. After the completion of this lunar landing mission, we will also share lunar samples and some key confidential data with you to promote harmonious development. "

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of applause.

Then, a voice came: "Next, please welcome Jiuzhou Technology, Gu Qing..."

Seeing the eyes of the crowd, Gu Qing nodded.

This time, holding a meeting of the Lunar Development Science and Technology Association at the Shuiquan Launch Base is also the best option.

After all, there are not many opportunities to find a place that can gather the core executives of Jiuzhou Technology Company, Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, Daxia Aerospace Group and a number of high-tech companies.

When Jiuzhou Technology's lunar spacecraft was launched, the core executives of Daxia Aerospace Group did not come out.

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Gu Qing did not have the habit of beating around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Thank you for the speech of the person in charge of Daxia Aerospace Group, and thank you for everyone's united efforts and technical support during this period. We can see that Daxia astronauts have embarked on the road to safe return after dangerous extravehicular work on the moon. This is a kind of luck.

During this period, everyone should also know that Jiuzhou Technology has been carrying out high-intensity lunar launch missions. Not only have we brought back tons of lunar samples, but we are also using astronauts and intelligent robots to explore the lunar environment and the construction of lunar bases as much as possible. "

Hearing that Gu Qing was going to do this big job right away, the senior executives of Daxia Aerospace Group immediately gathered their thoughts and participated in it with full concentration.

None of the invited senior executives of technology companies was willing to "neglect" in this situation. After all, in this era, if you miss a piece of information about Jiuzhou Technology, you may lose millions or even hundreds of millions of profits.

No one wants to be unlucky at this point.

"Our engineers and scientists from Jiuzhou Technology and Jiuzhou Xinghai agree that the construction of the lunar base must meet the needs of astronauts' daily life, experiments and scientific research.

At present, we have set our experimental sights on the environment inside the lava tube. If we can build the lunar base inside the lava tube, we can avoid many problems caused by geological reasons. "

Although the association's meeting today was to discuss practical issues, no one expected that General Manager Gu of Jiuzhou Technology would be so "direct" and directly state the direction and focus of the next stage of construction.

Generally speaking, there are three important geomorphic features on the lunar surface, namely impact basins, meteorite craters and lava tubes.

The first two are very easy to understand. As the name suggests, they are landforms formed by impact, while lava tubes are very special. They are naturally formed inside the lava flow: when the liquid lava flow flows, the surface cools quickly to form a solid hard shell. Under the heat preservation effect of the surface hard shell, the internal temperature is high and the flow rate is fast, thus forming a tube.

Considering that everyone present is not a novice who needs to popularize this concept, Gu Qing continued: "Because they are protected by the lunar surface cover and will not produce temperature changes, their temperature range is roughly -20 to 30℃ in our Jiuzhou Xinghai robot exploration.

And a relatively stable lava tube. Generally, they are six meters below the lunar surface, which can provide radiation shielding to a certain extent, so that our instruments and astronauts can be protected from the effects of solar wind and cosmic rays.

In addition, lunar lava tubes have been a long-standing landform on the moon, which also proves that their structure is stable enough to withstand normal moonquakes.

Taking all aspects into consideration, as well as factors such as terrain and water resource distribution, our functional engineers at Jiuzhou Technology and Jiuzhou Xinghai believe that building a base in a lunar lava tube has obvious advantages over building a base on the lunar surface.

And our Jiuzhou Xinghai company has also collected some data on lunar lava tubes, and will start actual operations after the materials and project processes are mature. "

Although robots have already started construction underground, Gu Qing still artificially "delayed" it.

Of course, he was not afraid of someone exposing this white lie.

The three astronauts of Daxia Aerospace Group have all been launched, and there is no one else on the moon who can "stop" these intelligent robots. And competitors such as NASA and the European Space Agency cannot land on the moon during this period.

Even if these two organizations really intend to land on the moon during this period, Gu Qing will let them know what a space accident is.

After all, since we have completed the first day of the lunar month, we must think of a way to spend the fifteenth day.

However, after listening to Gu Qing's explanation, all the others looked thoughtful.

"The construction of a lunar base is not like building a house on the ground. In addition to the stability of the building, the construction plan must also take into account the requirements of communication and navigation. In this regard, it is said that Jiuzhou Technology has also selected and operated a construction team internally after cooperating with a certain construction bureau of Daxia in the early years. Perhaps..."

"The construction of a lunar base needs to take into account both the unmanned and manned stages, and when the subsequent base is built, there must be a sufficient and stable supply. In addition to scientific exploration equipment, energy stations and communication station components, there must also be necessities such as food and medical care to provide infrastructure guarantees for subsequent construction."

"Energy supply is the core link of the lunar base. Solar panels cannot be used as the real main energy system. Other power generation projects are required to ensure that the power demand of the base can be met.

And to provide a stable energy supply for various activities of the base, it is likely that a power plant will still need to be built."

"The lunar communication levels from low to high should be lunar-earth communication, long-distance communication, short-distance communication and internal communication within the base.

For long-distance communication, rovers and solar panels can also be achieved through satellites, while short-distance communication can be achieved through small dipole antennas, because due to the environment and terrain of the moon, they can only send a maximum of 10 km signal. Internal communication in the base can be achieved through standard Ethernet cables.

But in front of Jiuzhou Technology and Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, the movable intelligent robot seems to be a mobile base station, and they seem to be able to form a large communication base station.

I just don’t know where the upper limit of this technology is. "

These experts and professors analyzed the various difficulties in the construction of the lunar base in their minds.

When it came to the second half of the meeting, some experts even believed that if we want to break through the limitations of conventional communication capabilities and solve the problem of weak stability of communication signal transmission, we can use the overall solution of Earth-Moon laser communication technology and quantum communication technology.
