Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Beijing, CNSA Center Building

This iconic building representing China's aerospace industry has become the most important force that cannot be ignored in the world's aerospace field. Every move it makes attracts the attention of the aerospace industry in other countries. Sneeze, and the world's aerospace industry It all had to be shaken.

At this time, Qin Yuanqing went through a series of inspections and came to a conference room.

Today will be the time for the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft inspection expert team to gather. A total of 38 experts, a powerful expert team, will add an extra layer of insurance to the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft. Their mission is to inspect the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft. The Chang'e 2 spacecraft will conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that the Chang'e 2 spacecraft can be launched smoothly and improve the success rate of the second manned moon landing.

"Academician Qin, this is the list of the expert group. Please be the leader of the expert group this time!" The CNSA leader handed the list of the expert group to Qin Yuanqing and then said.

The manned moon landing project, even if the previous manned moon landing by the Chang'e spacecraft was a complete success, but the manned moon landing project again will be a do-over. Every detail must be extremely meticulous, otherwise, every detail will be lost. If something goes wrong, it is very likely that the entire manned moon landing project will fail.

If the manned moon landing project fails, there is a high probability that the rocket explodes, or the spacecraft is in space, waiting for rescue from the earth.

Direct economic losses are one aspect, but other impacts caused by failure are the most fatal. Pressure from both inside and outside is very likely to overwhelm the entire aerospace industry.

"Well, don't worry about that!" Qin Yuanqing said solemnly.

Although the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft and the "Chang'e" spacecraft are sister spacecraft, many technologies are the same, but some technologies have been improved. For example, an anti-gravity device is installed in the spacecraft, which can be used to manufacture the cockpit of the spacecraft. A gravity environment, but the anti-gravity device will only be activated when entering space, and it is experimental in nature. The anti-gravity device is tested in space.

At the same time, although the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft is still based on fossil fuels, its plasma engine will be more advanced than the 'Chang'e' spacecraft, thus shortening the Earth-moon migration orbit flight time by one hour.

As time went by, experts continued to arrive. When it was 11 o'clock in the morning, all the experts arrived, and Qin Yuanqing held the first meeting of the expert group in the conference room.

"Everyone, this time CNSA has entrusted me to form a Chang'e 2 spacecraft inspection expert team to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Chang'e 2 spacecraft and eliminate all hidden dangers as much as possible before launch. I am very happy to work with you all," Qin Yuanqing said. Everyone introduced their status as the 'expert group' this time, and then a staff member came over and handed over a confidentiality agreement. Each expert will be exposed to a large number of secrets of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, and a confidentiality agreement is essential. For a small number of people, once the secret is leaked, the penalty will be at least ten years. If it causes serious losses, you will even face life imprisonment or even death.

Even Qin Yuanqing also signed a confidentiality agreement.

"This 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, like the 'Chang'e' spacecraft, is composed of three parts: the command module, the lunar module, and the service module." Qin Yuanqing introduced the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft: "According to the plan, the 'Chang'e' spacecraft The No. 2 spacecraft is planned to be launched on December 31, 2027, as a New Year gift! Our time is very limited, and we hope that all experts can uphold their responsibilities and obligations and use their talents."

Others were secretly frightened. Before they were mobilized by CNSA, they did not know that China would carry out another manned moon landing. In their understanding, even if there was to be another manned moon landing, it would only be in 2030. In the future, after all, everyone knows that this kind of thing is very expensive and full of risks, so there is really no need to do it too frequently.

After all, it has been less than three years since the last manned landing on the moon.

"The slight difference from last time is that when it returns to Earth, the service module, command module, and lunar module will return together." Qin Yuanqing continued.

The 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft and the 'Chang'e' spacecraft actually look exactly the same from the outside. For ordinary people, there is no difference between the two. They are the same size, the same color, and the launch vehicle is the same. of.

However, only by in-depth understanding can we know the technological improvements. Hundreds of technological innovations were all breakthroughs made in the last successful manned moon landing of the 'Chang'e' spacecraft.

At noon, everyone had a simple lunch directly in the CNSA cafeteria, and the drawings of each major were handed over to experts in each major. After all, not all of the 38 experts are as versatile as Qin Yuanqing. On the contrary, everyone is basically just. They are proficient in one field, such as communication systems, avionics systems, structures, and materials. They cannot understand drawings from other majors.

Qin Yuanqing, on the other hand, was recalculating and calculating the entire process based on the data. To this end, he used another method to simulate the entire process, and each calculation data was input by Qin Yuanqing.

Even Qin Yuanqing himself did not dare to guarantee that the second manned moon landing project would be 100% successful. He could only ensure that he would do his best to increase the possibility of success.

Because of the manned moon landing, during the initial launch phase, there are weather effects, operator effects, and system effects. If any problem occurs, it is very likely that the rocket will explode and turn into a ball of fire.

After the rocket is successfully launched, it can be considered a success only if it can break away from the first, second and third stage rockets according to the predetermined procedures. As for the next step, it actually depends to a large extent on the experience and wisdom of the astronauts, such as contacting the ground command center in time to find out whether the problem can be solved in time.

After all, in space, many aerospace disasters often accumulate from small problems into big problems, and then explode out of control.

Like the original Columbia space shuttle, the problem was actually discovered very early, but because it was not solved in time, it eventually led to the tragedy of disintegration in the air.

Qin Yuanqing quickly used basic data to simulate it again. It was exactly the same as what he had calculated before, including the point where the moon would fall.

This manned lunar landing will be very different from the first manned lunar landing. That is, this manned lunar landing will take place five times before and after, and the time will also be delayed by one month on the lunar surface. In addition to In addition to building the second scientific research station, there is also a very important task, which is to bring the helium 3 refined by the first scientific research station back to the earth.

It can be said that in one month, more records will be set and more scientific research tasks will be carried out than the first manned moon landing.

In the evening, the expert team flew overnight to the Wenchang Launch Center. The Long March 15 carrier rocket and the Chang'e 2 spacecraft had been transported to the Wenchang Launch Center a few days ago, but the Long March 15 carrier rocket had not yet been loaded onto the launch pad. About half a month before launch, the Long March 15 carrier rocket will be mounted on the launch pad. It is also at that time that CNSA will announce to the public that China will hold a second manned moon landing and release the specific time.

At present, only a very small number of people know about the news that China is going to carry out a second manned lunar landing, and the vast majority of people are unaware that China is going to conduct a second manned lunar landing.

The entire expert team flew directly from Beijing Airport to Qiong Province Airport on Qin Yuanqing's special plane, and then went to the Wenchang Launch Center under the escort of the army.

Since the establishment of the Wenchang Launch Center, because it was established late and its latitude is lower than other launch centers, it can use the larger linear velocity close to the equator and the centrifugal phenomenon caused by inertia to greatly reduce rocket fuel consumption. In addition, it was established late, and the various facilities are the most complete and advanced, making it the first space launch center in China. The launches of medium-sized rockets, heavy rockets, and super-heavy rockets are all carried out at the Wenchang Launch Center. .

The last manned moon landing project was also launched from the Wenchang Launch Center.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when Qin Yuanqing and others arrived at the Wenchang Launch Center. Under the leadership of the staff of the Wenchang Launch Center, they checked into the guest house. Although it was a guest house, it was not as bad as a four-star hotel and had all the facilities.

However, because this is the most advanced space launch center in China, and the countdown to the second manned moon landing has begun, the entire Wenchang Launch Center has entered the first level of security. The security force is tight on the outside and tight on the inside, and confidentiality work has been strengthened.

"Academician Qin, you have Level 1 authority and can retrieve any information at any time through the artificial intelligence 'Nuwashi'!" The director of the Wenchang Launch Center came to Qin Yuanqing's room and reported to Qin Yuanqing.

"Well, I know about this. It's already very late now. You should go back and rest." Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

The expert team only has half a month to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the launch vehicle and the Chang'e 2 spacecraft. After half a month, the expert team will officially withdraw from the Wenchang Launch Center, and the Wenchang Launch Center It is the final preparation before launch, such as transporting the Long March 15 launch vehicle to the launch pad, transporting the Chang'e 2 spacecraft onto the launch vehicle, mobilizing satellites in the sky, weather stations on land, and monitoring Stations and scientific research stations at sea to monitor climate, temperature, weather and other aspects, including monitoring debris in space, and even cleaning up some debris that is harmful to the spacecraft.

Qin Yuanqing took a shower in the hotel and then went to bed.

Soon Qin Yuanqing fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, Qin Yuanqing seemed to see high-rise buildings standing on the moon 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. Human beings have built base cities on the moon to live on the moon. With a population of hundreds of millions, there are factories, space ports, and transportation systems on it. He dreamed again that human footprints are all over Mars, changing the climate and environment of Mars, transforming Mars into a livable planet, and humans turning Mars into a A planet of immigrants was created, and the communication between planets was carried out through starships, just like the exchanges between different continents in the Earth's Age of Discovery were through sea ships.
