'Manned' is achievable.

The small spaceship is named 'Mars-1' spacecraft. Mars-1 has applied the latest technologies such as anti-gravity, anti-energy barrier, and light energy reception. Because of the application of anti-gravity technology, Mars-1 is expected to have a minimum weight of seven tons .

With this weight and the design of the large frame, a medium-sized manned control cabin can be added in the center, and the space of the cabin can reach more than [-] cubic meters, which is enough for three astronauts to work and live.

There is a big difference between manned and unmanned.

The main difference centers on the functionality of the spaceship.

If it is an unmanned spaceship, everything needs to be set up, just like a drone performing a mission. When no one is operating it, it will fly according to the established route, and then return directly after completing the mission.

Manned spaceships will increase a lot of maneuverability, and the process of performing missions will become much more flexible, and more tasks can be completed.

For example, retrieving soil from the surface of Mars.

This task is placed on an unmanned spaceship, and how much can be retrieved is entirely up to God's will.

If it is placed on a manned spacecraft, the spacecraft can be operated artificially, and more Martian soil can be retrieved.

In addition, manning has a great significance, that is, the real landing on Mars.

In terms of science and technology for exploring the universe in China, it does have the most cutting-edge technology, but it has not yet traveled to other planets.

If the Mars landing can be completed, it must be a very meaningful thing.

Yixing and the space agency held two negotiation meetings, but no decision was made on whether to carry out missions with humans.

Normally, the first time is definitely not manned, and there is no precedent for space shuttles. Manned spaceships go to space shuttles, and then land on Mars to perform missions. Many firsts have been completed in the process, and at the same time will increase the risk.

Even if there is a little accident in the middle, it will become an irreversible event.

But technically, there is no problem anymore.

Unmanned, safe.

There are many benefits of being manned. It is the first time to land on Mars and complete a few firsts quickly. The mission can be executed more perfectly, because there are astronauts operating, and even other tasks can be added.

and many more.

In the constant entanglement of discussions, Zhao Yi's attitude is very crucial, and can even play a decisive role.

Because of this, Zhao Yi did not express his opinion. He knew that if he expressed his opinion, it would play a decision-making role.

In Zhao Yi's heart, he hopes to carry people, because there is no technical problem, and it can be completed, whether it is for the country or the company, it can be said to be of great significance.

However, even Zhao Yi couldn't guarantee 100% safety during the mission.

This is where the problem lies.

Zhao Yi had no way to make a direct decision. He listened to the opinions of many people, asked a few familiar leaders, and kept in touch with the space agency. Finally, he decided to meet a few astronauts trained by the company.

At the beginning of its establishment, Yixing began to train astronauts, and the investment scale exceeded [-] million yuan. However, because the time is still very short, the astronauts who signed with Yixing are still "retired early" or "already retired" by the space agency. retired'.

Of course, there are also some newcomers who choose to join Yixing Company, but their ability is slightly inferior.

Yixing Company belongs to, and there are five astronauts who can represent the company to enter space to perform missions, and they are all jointly trained by Yixing and the space agency.

In this regard, Yixing must pay all the expenses.

In order to make a decision as soon as possible, Zhao Yi went directly to the training center and met several astronauts. Every astronaut was made of gold, because they spent a lot of money during the training process.

It is relatively better now, because there is anti-gravity technology to simulate the space environment, but the training consumption is still very expensive.

There are several astronauts belonging to Yixing Company, including Yang Xuesen, Lu Xiaowei, Zhou Jin, etc., and the only female astronaut Zhang Liping.

Among them, Lu Xiaowei is the oldest, followed by Zhang Liping, both of whom are approaching the age of retirement.

Ordinary astronauts have to go through more than three years of training before they can go to space to perform missions. Both Lu Xiaowei and Zhang Liping have undergone seven years of training. The seven years are not continuous, but the first three and a half years and the next three and a half years.

They failed to become astronauts to perform missions in space at the best age, so they could only wait silently for retirement.

It's a pity.

However, the establishment of Yixing gave them an opportunity. Both Lu Xiaowei and Zhang Liping chose to retire early and directly signed contracts with Yixing Company, hoping to have the opportunity to go to space in the future and become real astronauts.

After Zhao Yi arrived at the training center, he got acquainted with several astronauts and went to the restaurant to eat together. The meals of the astronauts were specially prepared to keep them in shape.

halfway.

Zhao Yi asked, "Do you all hope to go to space to perform missions?"

"Of course."

Lu Xiaowei pursed his lips and said excitedly, "My biggest dream is to enter space. It turned out that I most wanted to enter the space station, but I failed in the two selections."

"why?"

"Height!" Lu Xiaowei said, "I'm a bit too tall, two centimeters taller, the height and weight of astronauts need to be very standard."

"Really?" Zhao Yi didn't expect this, because the astronauts in his impression seem to be tall and short?

"It's not certain."

Lu Xiaowei seemed to know what Zhao Yi was thinking, and explained, "Because there are very few opportunities to go into space, we must select the most suitable one."

"But now I am also satisfied. Half a year ago, I sat on an anti-gravity thruster, the one of type 3, and performed the task of docking the energy source of the space station."

"Ah."

Zhao Yi listened and nodded.

Because it is a satellite of Yixing Company, the astronauts who signed up Yixing will also be considered when performing related tasks.

Several astronauts here are riding anti-gravity thrusters, and some have no mission work at all, just follow up to experience it, and complete it as part of the training.

Zhang Liping also expressed her thoughts, "Academician Zhao, I also really want to carry out the mission. My dream since I was a child was to become a female astronaut. I have worked hard for so many years, but because I am a girl—"

She said a little helplessly.

It is not to say that the work of astronauts is more suitable for men, but because men do not have physical problems and their physique is better, they will have a relatively large advantage.

Zhao Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Now there is a chance, but even I don't know if there is an accident."

"Here, I can say, there's a certain danger, in space, you know, if there's a problem, any problem, maybe—"

He didn't continue talking, everyone here understood the meaning.

Several people looked at each other.

Lu Xiaowei immediately said, "No matter how dangerous it is, I accept the task."

"Why?" Zhao Yi asked with a frown.

Lu Xiaowei said firmly, "If another year or two years pass, even if there is a chance to go to space, my age is hopeless, so I must seize the opportunity, any opportunity!"

"My dream in life is to go to space to perform a mission, even if only once, instead of being a backup all the time."

"It makes me feel that my past efforts are meaningless, and my life is meaningless, so no matter how dangerous it is, I must seize the opportunity, even if I sacrifice my life in the process!"

Zhang Liping followed excitedly, "Me too! I've wanted to be an astronaut since I was a child, so what's the danger? Academician Zhao, if you have a chance, you must consider me, I really—"

"real--"

Zhang Liping didn't seem to know how to express it, her voice choked up, and she finally said, "Whether I can come back alive or not, I believe that even at the last moment of my life, I will not regret my choice."

Zhao Yi listened and took a deep breath, nodding his head heavily.

When he heard the thoughts of the astronauts, he immediately felt very moved. If it were on himself, he might not make the same choice.

Everyone lives in the world, the most important and valuable thing is life.

If you can take the risk of sacrifice for a certain matter, it is enough to prove that you attach importance to this matter.

"it is good!"

"I will help you fight for it!"

In the end, Zhao Yi made a decision, and at the same time decided to increase the investment in the R&D and manufacturing of the spacecraft, which will be used to strengthen the safety of the manned cabin and increase the living facilities in the cabin.

-

After Zhao Yi made a decision, he contacted the space agency for a third discussion.

This time he showed his attitude, thinking that manned exploration should be carried out directly, and his attitude played a decisive role.

R & D and manufacturing immediately added a 'manned cabin', and related technologies also tended to be manipulative. For example, a control room was added, two manipulative arms were added, and landing plates were added.

and many more.

At the same time, Yixing contacted the space agency and determined the mission content.

The content of the original task remains the same, but a new item is added, the fixed cabin is made of special materials, which can be fixed to the ground and can withstand the environment of the main storm. There are also compressed glass holes, so that the outside environment can be seen from the cabin .

The fixed cabin also stocked certain living supplies, toxic gas filtering devices, and some high-compression oxygen cylinders.

This cabin will be placed in a relatively safe area on the surface of Mars, and there will be a fixed flag made of special materials above the cabin, so that it can be used for future exploration of Mars.

If the mission is successfully carried out, there will always be a representative flag on the surface of Mars in the future.

At the same time, there will be Mars-related missions in the future, and the cabin can accommodate several astronauts for about a week.

The job of the astronauts is to operate the Mars-1 to land on Mars, and then assist in lowering the fixed cabin, operate the excavation of the Martian soil, bring it back to the spacecraft, and then return to Earth normally.

After discussing the Mars exploration project with the space agency, Zhao Yi returned to Zheng Yang. He had two jobs to care about.

One is a Chinese computer technology company established in cooperation with the Cosmic Robotics Company. The company has been formally established and has launched a large-scale recruitment work. The first step is to recruit core technical personnel to participate in the research and development of the underlying Chinese translation software.

This job requires not only computer engineers, but also experts in Chinese studies. We recruit many experts in liberal arts, preferably those who have studied Chinese and understand some computer technology.

Zhao Yi was concerned about the work progress of the new company, and also made a bit of the main framework related to Chinese translation software.

It is better for him to do this work. Compiling the framework is the most important thing. As long as the framework as a whole does not re-problem and the filled content has problems, it is easy to correct it.

In addition, it is to start the next step of research and development.

He first set two directions, one is a small direction and the other is a general direction.

The small direction is directly related to exploring the universe, and it is the Z-wave detection technology.

If it is an exploration within the solar system, because the scientific community already has a lot of understanding of the solar system, the space shuttle of the spacecraft does not have too high a risk.

It will be different to enter the outer solar system to explore, or to carry out ultra-long-distance shuttle.

It is impossible for anyone to know whether there is a massive comet or some other star in a light-year away.

Even if it is an asteroid like cosmic junk, if it appears on the space shuttle's channel, it may cause an extremely deadly danger to the space shuttle.

When a similar situation occurs, no matter how high the compression value is, the spaceship will fall apart in an instant, and the impact at a speed of several kilometers per second is a very terrible thing.

Therefore, detection technology is still needed to explore the universe, and the most suitable detection technology is to use Z-wave detection.

How to detect it?

The detection method sounds very simple. It is to send a Z wave first, and calculate the compression ratio of the Z wave to determine whether there is danger on the route.

If there are small stars on the route, the compression ratio must be greatly reduced.

It sounds simple, but it is very complicated to make a detection, because there is nothing in the universe, the compression ratio of the Z wave will be very high, so high that it must be explained by an index.

When the compression ratio exceeds '[-] million', or even reaches '[-] billion' or '[-] billion', it is very difficult to perform instantaneous detection.

Even if you only want to get vague compression values, it is still very, very difficult.

However, if you want to explore outside the solar system, you must master the relevant detection technology, otherwise the spacecraft will not be able to apply space shuttle technology to quickly carry out ultra-long-distance space shuttle.

6 Chapter Fifty This is Enclosure!

For future exploration of the universe, Z-wave detection technology is very important.

The principle of this technology is also very simple. It is to find a substance, detect its compressed magnification value under high magnification compression, and then infer the compression magnification of the space.

The quality of the substance you are looking for should not be too high, otherwise it will directly affect the compression ratio. At the same time, the quality should not be too low. Only a few particles are compressed, and no matter how high the compression ratio is, it is impossible to be detected in detail.

The principle sounds simple, but the most difficult thing to find is the right substance.

There is a certain relationship between the compression ratio of substances and the compression ratio of space, but analyzing different substances, it can be found that there is no definite relationship.

For example, a certain substance will only be compressed twice when the space is compressed by a hundred times, and most metal substances are in an environment where the space is compressed by about two hundred times when compressed by five times.

These are the conclusions drawn from Z-wave compression experiments.

Compared with metal substances, the compression rate of gas particles is much smaller. For example, in an environment with the same two hundred times of space compression, most gas particles will only be compressed by one to two times.

One to two times did not reach the critical value against the space compression ratio 'e', ​​and if it is placed in a normal environment, it will soon return to its original state.

Regardless of whether it is an air particle or a metal particle, if it is placed in the cosmic space, it will not greatly increase the compression ratio if it is exposed to an exponential compression ratio of "billion times", mainly because the energy intensity is different.

When the energy intensity of the Z-wave is concentrated in the compression of the space, the feedback to the compression of the space on the particles does not show a high intensity.
