Chapter 1148 Moon Rover
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Qu Yuqian really yearned for such a life of traveling around the universe. It's just that she feels that this matter is too vain and ethereal. I can only imagine it now.
"Zhongyao, what you said is pretty good, but you want to realize the dream of traveling around the universe. We are afraid that we will not be able to achieve it in this life. It may only be possible until the next life."
Although Qu Yuqian is very yearning for what Zhao Zhongyao said, she also knows that such a dream is difficult to realize.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Qu Yuqian again and said: "It's human beings, maybe, I can realize my dream of traveling around the universe in this lifetime."
Zhao Zhongyao has always been a person who dares to think and do. In this world, he has done a lot of seemingly impossible things. This dream of traveling around the world seems impossible. However, Zhao Zhongyao still wanted to give it a try.
Of course, he is just thinking about it now. He knows that this great dream may be more difficult than the realization of the dream of landing on the moon. But no matter how difficult it is, Zhao Zhongyao still wants to give it a try.
"Okay, Zhongyao, don't laugh, let's continue playing!"
Although Zhao Zhongyao had his own thoughts in his heart. However, Qu Yuqian would not treat Zhao Zhongyao's statement as the same thing. She just felt that what Zhao Zhongyao said was just a joke, and she didn't have to treat it as the same thing.
"Go, let's continue playing!" After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he took his wife and children to play in the World Park.
On this day, Zhao Zhongyao and his wife and children played outside for a day. It was not until the evening that I returned home.
The two children looked very happy because they saw their father with them. From time to time, he was running around by Zhao Zhongyao's side.
Looking at the two lovely children, Zhao Zhongyao felt a sense of happiness that he had never had before. He suddenly felt how happy his life is. In fact, what a person pursues is not fame or money. It's the joy of being with family and children.
Looking at the cheerful smiles of the children. Zhao Zhongyao thought, if one day, he could stay at home for a long time, and then take his wife and children to play outside every day!
But Zhao Zhongyao knew better that he still had a lot to do now. This matter of landing on the moon can be said to have been pressing on Zhao Zhongyao's heart. He knows that as long as this great dream is realized, he can give himself a long vacation, and then take his wife and children to travel around the world.
But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao still has to work now. After staying at home for a week, he returned to the Feitian Group.
The next work is still very heavy. Although the launch of this ‘Lunar One’ probe was successful. But the lunar rover probe will be launched next.
This lunar rover probe is more important than this satellite probe. Of course it is more difficult to develop. This satellite detector can only be regarded as a satellite. But this lunar rover probe is different. It is a brand new thing. It was something that Zhao Zhongyao had not developed before.
Regarding this lunar rover, Zhao Zhongyao has never heard of it in this world. In this world, every scientific research conducted by Zhao Zhongyao can be said to be unique.
After all, China's plan to land on the moon now can be said to be unprecedented. In this parallel world, no country dares to carry out this great plan. Even Country M, which has always been the most developed country, has no such plan.
Until now. What country M can do is to quickly complete their'manned space experiment'. Although it failed once, an astronaut was sacrificed. But country M still did not give up their dream of sending astronauts into space.
But no matter what. China has sent astronauts into space long ago. Such things as the'manned space experiment' have already been completed.
And what China wants to do now is to represent all mankind and send astronauts to the moon. At that time, China will also become the only superpower in the world. No country can compare with China.
A technologically advanced country like Country M has no dream of landing on the moon. They haven't sent the astronauts into space yet, so they don't want to send them to the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he had to do was to make Hua Guo fulfill his great dream of landing on the moon. Then let China become the only superpower in the world.
But to realize this great dream of landing on the moon, we must first develop a lunar rover probe. Just develop a lunar rover probe first. Before we can simulate the launch of a spacecraft to the moon.
After Zhao Zhongyao returned to the ‘Flying Group’. So he hurriedly convened a mobilization meeting. Now all the researchers of his institute’s Feitian Group have gathered together in the conference room of the Space Technology Research Institute.
Zhao Zhongyao was sitting on the podium now, and he looked at everyone and started talking.
"Comrades, let's sit down together for another meeting today. There is only one purpose, which is to discuss how to complete the next step of space work.
The next thing we have to do is to launch the lunar rover probe to the surface of the moon. A field survey of the surface of the moon is necessary.
Although last time, we have launched a lunar probe. But this moon probe is just a satellite probe. Just be able to take pictures of the topography of the moon's surface over the moon. They cannot conduct field surveys of the earth.
If we want to send astronauts to the moon, we must first conduct a field trip to the moon. To conduct an on-site investigation of the moon, the only way to launch a lunar rover probe to the moon.
So, our main next step is to develop a lunar rover detector. This is the focus of our next step. Of course, this lunar rover probe was mainly designed by myself.
After I design it, I will let everyone work together to develop this lunar rover probe. After we develop this lunar rover probe, it can be launched. If we can successfully launch the lunar rover probe, it will be very important for our next astronaut landing experiment.
If we want to experiment with this great moon landing plan, we must start with the development of a lunar rover probe of excellent quality. As long as the lunar rover probe is developed first, we can proceed to the next step.
Okay, I won’t say much about other things. After the meeting is over for a while, let's all go to work separately! "
After Zhao Zhongyao held a mobilization meeting for everyone, he let everyone go to work. And he also returned to his office.
What Zhao Zhongyao needs to do next is, of course, to develop this lunar rover probe.
As for the development of a lunar rover, Zhao Zhongyao knew that in this world, there was nothing else that could be used for reference. In this world, there is no such thing as a lunar rover. If he wants to design a lunar rover, he can only look for a lunar rover from his memory during his lifetime as a reference.
The lunar rover is a special vehicle that can travel on the lunar surface and complete complex tasks such as lunar exploration, investigation, collection and analysis of samples. In the laboratory, the scientific name of this important role is "Lunar Surface Inspection Probe". In order to enable the lunar rover to travel smoothly on the lunar surface, the United States and the former Soviet Union have launched a series of satellite detections and carried out monitoring of the lunar surface environment. Repeated scientific experiments have laid a solid foundation for the success of carrying the lunar rover on the probe. Scientists have analyzed and studied the valuable data brought back by the lunar rover on the lunar surface, greatly deepening human understanding of the moon.
Lunar rover can be divided into unmanned lunar rover and manned lunar rover. The unmanned lunar rover consists of a wheeled chassis and an instrument compartment, and is powered by solar cells and batteries. The world's first unmanned lunar rover was sent to the moon by the Lunar 17 probe launched by the former Soviet Union on November 17, 1970.
The lunar rover chassis is made of aluminum alloy tube-shaped material, and the middle is equipped with a hinge for storing items. Each aluminum wheel has its own electric drive and mechanical brake. The tire is made of woven steel mesh wire mesh coated with zinc. All the lunar rover were eventually left on the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao also knew quite well about the types and functions of the lunar rover in the world during his lifetime. After all, in the world before Zhao Zhongyao was alive. The level of human technology is quite advanced.
Many countries have completed such great plans as the moon landing. Dozens of astronauts have successfully landed on the moon. It left traces of human activities on the moon.
But Zhao Zhongyao also knew that although he knew something about the lunar rover in the world before his death, it was not easy for him to design a real lunar rover. After all, he had never done this before, even in his lifetime, he had not designed a lunar rover.
But Zhao Zhongyao knows that in this world, he is the best scientist representing all mankind. What other people can do, he can definitely do it too. He can also do things that others cannot do.
Therefore, Zhao Zhongyao firmly believes that he can design a lunar rover. Although this task is somewhat difficult. But Zhao Zhongyao was full of power in his heart. He knew that he must develop this lunar rover.
However, if you want to develop a lunar rover, you must first design the shape and internal structure of a lunar rover, and then let Cheng Yu and the others develop it, so that a real lunar rover can be developed.
Therefore, when Zhao Zhongyao really wants to do this, he has to seriously think about what he knows about the functions of the lunar rover's specific systems. In a sense, the lunar rover belongs to robotics.
Whether it is wheeled or legged, the lunar rover should have basic functions such as forward, backward, turning, climbing, fetching, sampling and flipping (it can turn over after a fall), and even has basic artificial intelligence (for example, recognition, Climbing or bypassing obstacles, etc.). These are similar to the functions of modern robots. However, only these functions of the lunar rover are not enough.
It is a kind of robot that performs detection tasks in the special environment of space-space robot. It has the attributes of robots and the characteristics of spacecraft. It is different from industrial robots, medical robots and household robots used on the ground. "Light weight, small size, low power consumption" has always been the golden rule of spacecraft design. It is called the "conventional three" in the recent evaluation indicators of superior aerospace products; the pursuit of "lightness, smallness and low power" is spacecraft research and development. Eternal theme.
The longer the voyage, the higher the requirements, and the lighter, smaller and lower requirements for the mass, volume and power consumption of the lunar probe. According to the expected capabilities of China's launch vehicle, a lunar rover needs to be launched by a launch vehicle that is 300 times heavier than it, which is 4-6 times the mass of a launch vehicle that launches an earth satellite of the same mass.
The lunar rover is a movable platform that carries several payloads, such as detection instruments or excavation samplers. These equipment and devices must be miniaturized and lightened. The lunar rover is usually used as the payload of the lunar orbiter, and the orbiter is installed as the payload of the launch vehicle in the narrow fairing at the top of the rocket.
The lunar rover should be made foldable to minimize the launch volume. The power supply of the lunar rover is hard to come by. It uses solar batteries to generate electricity, and its area and quality are proportional to the power consumption; if a disposable battery is used, the quality is proportional to the use time. In order to reduce the quality, the power consumption must also be reduced. Therefore, the design of the lunar rover must fully adopt microelectronic devices, micro-machines and light materials, and there should be a breakthrough in the development and application of the micro-electromechanical system lunar rover.
When officially accepting the mission, the lunar exploration project will put forward the index requirements for the quality, size and power consumption of the lunar rover. The lunar rover should be developed according to the prescribed technical indicators. According to what the chief scientist has learned, the quality of the lunar rover prototype that has been made is many times higher than the envisaged index, or even an order of magnitude higher.
The lunar rover must adapt to the special environment of aerospace, including the mechanical environment and the space environment. The mechanical environment refers to the impact, vibration, overload and noise generated by the launch vehicle during the ascent of the lunar rover; the impact and overload generated by the braking rocket during the lunar landing process and the multiple bounces and rolls that may be caused by the airbag cushion landing. The lunar rover must withstand the toss of "falling, hitting, rolling, and climbing".
