From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

From the communicator, Zhu Xiong and the others seemed to be able to hear a burst of warm applause.

All six of them smiled. Obviously, the headquarters was celebrating their safe landing. Of course, they had already celebrated after they landed safely.

In any case, being able to land safely on another planet is always worth celebrating.

In this way, it was not until a while later that another voice came from the communicator, "Captain Zhu, congratulations, then proceed according to the original plan."

The six team members immediately recognized that the voice belonged to their Chief Lin.

Apparently, their respected Chief Lin was also very happy because of their safe landing.

"Yes! Chief Lin!" Zhu Xiong responded immediately, and then unfastened the seat belt on his seat, and then said to his team members: "All take action! Try to complete our construction within twelve hours." moon base!"

"Yes! Captain!"

The team members also left their seats one after another, then put on their extravehicular space suits, then opened the hatch, walked over the landing board, and stepped on the lunar soil.

At this time, the warehouse of the Tianren was also activated, and a large pile of goods appeared inside, which was their modular moon base!

Next, they will set up these modular lunar bases, and then formally form the first home of mankind on the moon!

During this process, several mechanical arms suddenly protruded from the sides of the Tiancha spacecraft, and then, these mechanical arms seemed to be alive, helping them to carry out the construction work.

Of course, these robotic arms are indeed controlled by a self-aware being, but in Zhu Xiong's view, they can only sigh with emotion at the intelligence of the spaceship.

However, for the satellites of various countries floating on the moon, the scene here directly stunned all the countries behind them.

Because, judging from the photos sent back to the earth by these artificial satellites on the moon, people from other countries felt that they had discovered a very important secret in an instant——

The Tianchariot is back!

Suddenly, these countries are boiling!

What kind of mysterious black technology does Huaguo master? !

Chapter 496 The Beginning of the Mars Project

"Take a quick look, what is the thing protruding from their Tianchariot?"

In the White House, after seeing the photos sent from NASA, the president's eyes widened immediately, and he quickly asked Eisenberg next to him.

And Eisenberg took a look, and was immediately stunned.

Since the photos taken by the satellite are not particularly clear, although they are high-definition, it is difficult to capture the details of things more than 100 kilometers away, so they start from the current photo. In the middle, I can only see six strange things that seem to be waving around the Tianchariot, like tentacles.

After a while, Eisenberg frowned, and then said: "Mr. President, this may be a mechanical arm."

"The mechanical arm? What is the function?"

Eisenberg replied: "What the Chinese people want to implement is the lunar transformation plan. According to the news they announced, they want to build a lunar base on the moon."

"And to build a moon base, the robotic arm can help them do the building work very well."

"Of course, on our space station and other spacecraft, there are generally such mechanical arms, which are used to replace our astronauts for extravehicular inspections."

"However, there is an obvious problem with these robotic arms in various aspects, and that is that they are not flexible enough."

"And now the Chinese people want to rely on their six team members to build this lunar base in a short time on the moon, basically relying on their mechanical arms."

"I just don't know, are their six robotic arms so flexible, or can they only do some carrying work?"

After thinking for a while, Eisenberg said, "Mr. President, let them record a video. Only by recording a video can we see the performance of this robotic arm more intuitively."

The president nodded slightly, and then conveyed the order to NASA.

And NASA quickly replied: "Okay, Mr. President, but because our most high-definition satellite capable of video recording has been unable to take pictures of the south pole of the moon, it will take about half an hour before we can take pictures again." It will take about 15 minutes to reach the South Pole of the Moon after shooting the video, plus the time to transmit the video back, so please wait patiently. 』

"It still takes so long." The president frowned, a little impatiently.

But he also knew that there was no way to do it, so he could only wait with peace of mind.

And Eisenberg said with a smile: "Mr. President, don't worry, it's only 45 minutes, and their astronauts will need some time to adapt to activities on the moon after landing on the moon, so there are still at least half a month left." It takes an hour before they can officially start building activities, and then we will be able to better observe their building speed."

"What's more, after they have been outside for a period of time, they need to return to the spaceship to rest. Otherwise, staying outside the cabin for a long time will seriously affect their health."

"I think Armstrong and Aldrin had coughing symptoms after only being outside for an hour, so in my opinion, they need at least 48 hours to build their lunar excitement!"

The president nodded, and then said: "God forbid, let all six of these people get sick, and then abandon their moon landing plan."

"Originally, we should be the first country to build a lunar base on the moon, and the south pole of the moon should belong to us."

Hearing the president's words, Eisenberg was silent. Originally, according to the plan they had announced in the last century, they wanted to build their base on the moon in 2007. As a result, until so many years later, they let the Chinese people go ahead. One step is done.

Afterwards, Eisenberg said with a smile: "Mr. President, you don't have to care. At least, aren't we about to go to Mars and build our base? The Mars base is far greater than their moon base."

The president shook his head. Although he said so, he was very clear that the Mars base they wanted to build in their Mars program was not really a "base".

A base must be able to accommodate more people to survive, but obviously, their Mars base can only accommodate a few people.

This is also limited by the payload weight of their rockets.

After all, their rockets are not like the Tianchariot, which can easily take a lot of things to the sky.

Even in order to solve this problem, they actually arranged two rockets. The first rocket will be launched in half a month, carrying the cargo of the Mars base and other resources. The second rocket will be launched in March. The Saturn 3, launched on the 31st, is their official launch rocket.

However, if this is the case, they can only provide goods for five people to survive, and the cost is huge.

But Huaguo is different. People's Tianchariot can go back and forth between the earth and the moon from time to time. The cost is pitifully low, and they only need more than 70 hours to arrive.

Generally speaking, it takes more than 70 hours for a rocket to reach the moon from the earth, but the Tianren only took more than [-] hours to reach the moon, which really surprised them.

But precisely because of this, the president knew very well that if Huaguo wanted to build that kind of large base on the moon, it would be much easier for them to go to Mars to build a Mars base.

At that time, Huaguo's moon base will be the real base. Through continuous expansion, it may be able to easily accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people in the future, and maybe even thousands of people.

Thinking of this, the newly elected president felt helpless for a while.

I really don't know what his predecessor did. It's like changing a dog to do better than his predecessor.

In this way, they waited for more than 40 minutes.

Finally, NASA sent them a message with a video that was more than a minute long, but the text attached to the message made them a little confused.

[Mr. President, and Mr. Eisenberg, this is a good video we shot, but the content inside is really surprising! 】

Seeing the last paragraph, the president and Eisenberg were taken aback.

What does it mean?

Too surprising?

What's so amazing about this video?

With a hint of doubt, they opened the video and watched it.

Then, the faces of the two of them suddenly showed expressions of incomparable surprise.

Because at the beginning of the video, they saw a building that had already been capped on the land at the south pole of the moon.

People from Huaguo completed a base building in just over 40 minutes?

how did you do that?

Then, the things in the video once again brought them a visual impact.

I saw a total of six robotic arms protruding from both sides of the chariot that day, as if they were alive, they stretched into the cargo hold very flexibly, and then took out six parts from it.

According to vague identification, among the six parts, some are plates, some are pipes, and some are even just a screw. Of course, this screw is very large, and it is the kind of screw used to fix two large structures.

After taking out these parts, the six robotic arms quickly put these things on the base being built, and then started the construction work. The whole process was precise and fast, as if it were a skilled craftsman.

Of course, a robotic arm with this level of precision can naturally be made on the earth. After all, whether it is a lithography machine or a top-level machine tool, their robotic arms can be accurate to the nanometer level.

But the problem is that the mechanical arms on the Tianren are not these mechanical arms. This mechanical arm looks at least 30 meters long, and the weight of each mechanical arm may be very high. How can it be possible in such a situation? To achieve this flexibility and precision?

"And there are still seven degrees of freedom... Even the Canadian Arm No. 2 can't achieve this level. When will the Huaguo's mechanical arm be able to achieve this level?"

Eisenberg's eyes widened, feeling quite unbelievable.

Canadian Arm 2 is a super robotic arm on the International Space Station. It weighs 1.8 tons, is 17 meters long, and has a load of up to 116 tons. It can be said to be a superstar among spacecraft robotic arms.

Even the "big arm" of the robotic arm on the Tiangong space station is only 10 meters long and has a load of 25 tons.

For these robotic arms, inflexibility is their main problem.

Just when they were still surprised, the six mechanical arms had completed their respective assembly, and then flexibly stretched into the cargo compartment, grabbing out six parts again.

And at this time, the more than one minute video is over.

After reading it, Eisenberg only felt crazy.

How the hell does it take 48 hours?

24 hours... No, I'm afraid they will be able to build it in less than [-] hours!

At this time, the president next to him said quietly: "Eisenberg, is this the 48 hours you just said?"

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Eisenberg's forehead, and then he quickly explained: "Mr. President, this is really unexpected, and I didn't expect their robotic arm technology to reach this level at all. .”

"But please don't worry, their robotic arms must be operated by humans. Whether it is the International Space Station or their Tiangong space station, the robotic arms need to be operated by professionally trained people."

"They are certainly no exception, especially if their robotic arms can be so flexible, they must be controlled by humans, and humans need to rest. In this way, they want to rely on this robotic arm to complete all construction work If so, it will take at least 24 hours."

In a hurry, Eisenberg thought of using this to explain.

At this time, he also suddenly realized, yes, as long as their operators still need to rest, then they will definitely not be able to complete it within [-] hours. Needless to say, it is operating a robotic arm on the moon.

Working in that kind of low gravity is already a heavy burden on the astronauts. They certainly cannot support long-term work, not to mention that they have just arrived on the moon and are not familiar with all aspects.

"Oh? Really?" However, the president just snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you see in the video just now, their six astronauts were all performing activities outside the cabin, and none of them stayed in their celestial carriage?" in the number?"

Eisenberg was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "What?!"

Then he hastily watched the video again, and he found that the six members of Huaguo's lunar transformation project were all active outside the Tianchario...or to be precise, were they playing? !

……

"Hahaha, let's see who can plant the national flag on the small hill ahead!"

"Okay! Let me show you the strength of your captain! Your captain, I used to do the falling leaf lift maneuver with one hand!"

"Captain, I've recorded your words. Use one hand to fly a fighter jet. Then I will send it to the coach and ask him to give you a lesson!"

"Hey! Zhang Wei, you kid wants to carry weights on the moon, right?"

"You catch up with me first!"

"Good boy, you wait!"

On the moon, three lunar rovers are racing on the surface of the moon.

And on the three lunar rovers, there were exactly six Huaguo moon landing team members, two on each vehicle.

These lunar rovers use proton batteries, which are extremely strong in battery life, and the wheels are also specially made to avoid the problems of slow acceleration and possible slippage caused by low friction between the wheels and the ground due to the light gravity of the moon.

And because the air on the moon is thin, there is almost no wind resistance, which saves more power.

So as long as this kind of lunar rover can be fully charged, it can easily run [-] kilometers on the moon!

You must know that the circumference of the moon is only [-] kilometers.

And their lunar rover can replace the battery, which means that they can run around the moon as long as they carry three sets of batteries.

So in a way, with this rover, they almost conquered the moon.

In this way, the three cars arrived at the destination they set, and No.1 was the one driven by Zhang Wei.

"Hey, captain, it seems that facts have proved that being good at flying a fighter jet is not the same as being good at driving a car."

After planting the national flag on the hill, Zhang Wei smiled and said to Zhu Xiong who was coming.

And Zhu Xiong glared at him angrily, and said: "I think you just need to clean up, kid."

Zhang Wei chuckled, then looked at the Tianchao, and sighed with emotion: "The intelligence on our Tianchao is really awesome. The speed of building a lunar base is so fast. The most important thing is that Quancheng actually It doesn’t even need us to operate.”

Others also agreed.

They basically circled the ground just now, and then confirmed the model through the corresponding software, and then there was nothing for them, and the six huge mechanical arms were able to complete all the work.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, don't forget our real purpose." Zhu Xiong said again at this time.

"Yes!" The other five team members responded one after another.

Their real purpose is the mysterious moon tablet!

It was only after they completed eighteen months of training that they suddenly knew the real purpose behind the lunar transformation plan.
