Relatively complete distant planet colony system!

Not just for Mars!

After hearing the words of Lu Zhou, the engineers of the Hangke Group and other leaders who came to visit nearby were shocked by the amount of information contained in the words.

Especially Yuan Huanmin.

Thinking of the previous z particles and hyperspace theory, his face suddenly showed a weird expression.

Although he didn't know much about theoretical physics, I heard it a little bit.

Such as the epoch-making theory that countless physicists call the door to the interstellar age.

Is it ...

Has the technology of hyperspace navigation been broken? !!

If this is the case, he wondered, maybe he should really retire early and give himself the chief engineer position of the Aviation Group to the young people who are more capable of accepting new things ...

Facing the pair of strange or weird sights, Lu Zhou immediately understood what these people had misunderstood, and explained with a smile.

"Don't think too much. Although this distant planet colony system is not only applicable to Mars, it is actually very difficult to colonize other more distant planets."

"The biggest significance of this system is also in terms of experiments. Our researchers hope to develop a relatively complete standard in the early space age, and then through repeated verification and adjustment, make this standard as complete as possible. Eventually, Help our colonists adapt to everything that may be encountered in the universe. "

"Just like I said before, Mars is a springboard, and so is this gadget. It's all for a more distant future ... let's stop talking about it, let's go and see."

Speaking, Lu Zhou gestured to the engineer next to him, motioned him to open the front door of the colony cabin, and then led the engineers and relevant department leaders with the shocked faces on his face who had not disappeared, and stepped into the mystery. Interior of a colonial cabin.

"... We are now passing through the buffer chamber of the colony cabin. The two air locks at the connection port and the exhaust facilities can adjust the indoor air pressure as needed. When working out of the cabin, our colonists change the spacesuit outside the cabin and prepare The equipment and Mars vehicles required for work, and the whole room disinfection, the indoor air is evacuated to approximate vacuum from the exhaust chamber ... Similarly, similar procedures will be performed when returning from the outside of the cabin. "

It is now on Earth that these two gates are naturally open.

Before launch, the entire colonial capsule will be disassembled and packed into parts. After special sterilization procedures, it will be sent to the synchronous orbit. Then the bridge will be sent to the Yuegong space station, and engineers there will use the engineering equipment of the space port to rebuild Assembly.

After passing through the two gates, the group came to the interior of the colony cabin, and the space became much narrower in an instant.

Of course, the so-called narrowness here is for the dozen or so visitors standing here. If there are only five or six people, the space here is quite sufficient.

"After the entire colonial cabin was deployed on the ground, the shape of the movable area was probably similar to a flat donut. In the middle was the spare controllable fusion core and energy center, and the computer room of the central computer. The heart of the base of the base. "

"The ring-shaped structure on the outside-the area where we are now, is the functional area of ​​the entire Mars base. According to different functions, it is mainly divided into four areas, including the work area, experimental area, and living area. Area and spare activity room. As for the outermost circle parallel to the airlock room, it is mainly a warehouse and also a protective barrier. "

"In fact, what we are seeing now is only in a semi-complete state. When the colony capsule is successfully deployed on the surface of Mars, the planting area shrinking below the colony capsule shell will expand outward in four directions ... like The airbags of cars are the same. Our colonists will be able to grow some improved space crops there, as well as raise some animals with shorter breeding cycles to obtain protein. "

"The entire colonial unit completely uses the ecological cycle technology tested in Biosphere a. According to the results of computer simulations, it can meet the physiological needs of at least ten people and can operate independently for 10 to 20 years with sufficient energy."

Even if it is calculated according to the ten-year period, this time is quite long.

Moreover, Huaguo ca n’t make it run independently without any input of resources. With the current aerospace technology that Huaguo has mastered, it is also a way to exchange space through time, even in the non-window period when it is not suitable for Mars. , Will send supplies from the space port of the Moon Palace to Mars.

The visit to the colony cabin was soon over.

After briefly introducing the purpose of the function cabins inside, Lu Zhou led a group of people out of it.

A group of people stood in the open space in front of the colony, with shocking expressions on their faces.

Especially for the engineers from the Hangke Group, the shock on their faces can no longer be described in words, as if they had just returned from heaven to earth, and the technology inside them has completely exceeded their imagination.

In theory, this should not be the case.

After all, they are also one of the best aerospace giants in China, in addition to star technology.

Standing next to Academician Yuan Huanmin, Zheng Xiangdong, the vice president of Hangke Group, poked his arm and asked in a low voice.

"How do you talk about their skills ...?"

With a solemn look, Academician Yuan Huanmin said with regret.

"Strong."

In fact, it is not a question of strong or weak, but the aviation science and technology group has absolutely no technical reserves in this regard.

Before the electric push technology was lit by Starry Sky Technology, their technology tree basically focused on the launch technology. Now the electric push technology is lit, and the technology tree is even more in this direction.

Before advancing technological breakthroughs, who would be idle and bored with the technical reserves of space colonization? Need to say, maybe nasa's research in this area is more in-depth than them.

As for the advancement of both technology and energy technology ...

Anyway, there are Starry Sky Technology and a lot of weird start-up high-tech companies to engage in these difficult things. They are pushing the technology field to catch up, and they don't have the extra energy to develop new businesses.

Confused by Academician Yuan's "strong" sentence, Zheng Xiangdong scratched his head and hesitated for a while and then asked: "Look ... it's not very difficult for us to produce this stuff."

After hearing this sentence, Academician Yuan Huanmin almost was not stung by his own spit, and looked back at Zheng Xiangdong with a glance.

"Don't even think about it. Without that foundation, you can use your head to make this stuff?"

"Ahem, I didn't say the whole colony ..." He smiled embarrassedly, Zheng Xiangdong said with a stroke of his head, "I mean, the accessories or some of the equipment used here are always made by our group. Right? "

Although Xingkong Technology did not contact them when building this colony capsule, it directly completed the production of a full set of parts by relying on the factory in Jinling High-tech Park. However, Zheng Xiangdong believes that in the relationship between the two groups, as long as the aviation group has the conditions for production, it should not be difficult to pull a batch of orders over.

When he was in the colony cabin just now, he could hear clearly. In the future, this Mars base is not just such a colony cabin, but also a large number of function cabins will be deployed on the surface of Mars like dumplings.

Although the Hangke Group was not interested in this project before, he realized how big the market was, and of course he couldn't just watch it slip away from his hands.

Yuan Huanmin: "..."

Seeing that the chief engineer didn't say a word, Zheng Xiangdong was anxious and urged to ask.

"You talked ..."

"Isn't it a question that can't be created?" Asked a little impatiently, Academician Yuan Huanmin raised his chin to the side of the robotic arm, then looked at the silver dome, and continued, "You look at this Assembly center, look at this colony ... Can you find our place from this stuff? "

The moment he heard this sentence, Zheng Xiangdong gave a slight stupefaction, and then fell into silence.

A glance at the group vice president, Academician Yuan Huanmin continued.

"Xingkong Technology itself only conducts research and development, not production, so whether it was Xiangrui or Xiaguang, it was the parts produced by us and Aerospace Group, and then sent here to complete the assembly."

"However, starting from the Qiaoqiao, the orders that require our participation are directly reduced by half."

"This ... is actually quite normal," he coughed, and Zheng Xiangdong said a little awkwardly. "Now the scale of the aerospace industry is expanding so fast, and it has the meaning of completely releasing this piece and releasing social potential. The market It's normal to be separated a little. We can't eat sole food, too? "

"Is the key to the problem here?" Academician Yuan sighed and said, "You should be able to see it. With the technical support of Xingkong Technology, a large number of excellent high-tech enterprises have been born in Jinling High-tech Park. They are in The processing of single parts is more professional than us, the change of thinking is more flexible, and the absorption of new things is faster than us. "

"Especially after the withdrawal of Star Cloud ’s industrial cloud technology service, they can be said to be the earliest enterprises to introduce the technology. If I understand that the situation is correct, our factory may not have started yet?"

When hearing this sentence, Zheng Xiangdong's expression became more awkward, and he whispered a word.

"... But Xingkong Technology didn't come to us?"

Although the voice was small, it was clearly heard by the people nearby.

The moment he heard this sentence, Yuan Yuan couldn't help spraying.

"You're still waiting for you? Are you stupid!"

Frightened by the momentum of the old academician, Zheng Xiangdong quickly shut his mouth, and the atmosphere did not dare to pant.

Looking at the expression of the vice president's expression of embarrassment, Academician Yuan Huanmin still wanted to say something, but finally sighed and shook his head.

"Chances don't always come by themselves."

Jinling High-tech Park is developing and expanding. The establishment of Xinghai No. 1 has made the park enter the era of Industry 4.0 in advance. All human society's imagination of industry will become reality, inspiration and creativity will be completely released. And star technology is less and less dependent on their former giants as expected.

No doubt this is a good thing.

Especially for the Chinese space industry.

More and more corporate and social resources will be involved in the exploration and development of space. This train going to the future will drive faster and faster, leaving yesterday far behind.

However, the entire train is discussed here.

Even if the future is bright and great, not everyone on this train can be so lucky.

For the Hangke Group, Academician Yuan is still very affectionate. After all, the youth of his life can be said to have been dedicated here. If possible, of course, he hopes that the company's name will be left on the milestone of the New World.

However, this is not something that can be won by waiting.

Looking at the silver-colored colony capsule, Academician Yuan Huanmin gradually wrote a hint of anxiety.

"Think about it."

Looking at Zheng Xiangdong in deep thought, after he dropped the sentence, he closed his mouth and stopped talking, and shook his head and turned away ...

At the same time, the other side of the clearing.

The old man who had just come out of the colony cabin looked back at the silver-colored "dome" with a little interest, and then suddenly looked at Lu Zhou and asked.

He looked at the silvery white colonial cabin with some intent, and the old man suddenly looked at Lu Zhou and asked.

"... Is this all about the entire Mars colony?"

"Of course not," Lu Zhou smiled slightly, pointing to the connection ports on both sides of the lower colony, "Did you see that rivet-shaped connection port?"

The old man frowned, staring at it for a long time before asking.

"Is there anything mysterious there?"

"There is a connection between the colony cabin and other functional units," paused, Lu Zhou continued. "Our initial goal is to build a research base with independent research capabilities on the surface of Mars, not just send our people. Go up and grow potatoes. "

"This colony capsule is the heart of the entire Martian base, and it is also the most basic part of the entire Martian base. In the future, we will deploy new functional units to the surface of Mars, and use these rivet-like interfaces and closed pipelines to connect them Connected to each other to expand the entire Martian base! "

"Just like the work we are doing in the Guanghan Special Economic Zone."

"It seems that you have thought about all these things." The old man nodded approvingly. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and continued to say, "Yes, I almost forgot to ask. This Colonial capsule ... or this colony ship about to go to Mars, do you want to know its name? "

"Of course, there is a name," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "Based on the unanimous vote of our aerospace research institute, we decided to name it Xufu!"

"Xu Fu ... is a good name."

Looking at the silver-white spaceflight facility, the old man's eyes had a hint of expectation.

"Hope it looks like its name."

"Spread the tinder of our civilization to a more distant world."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly.

"Definitely."
