The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 165 The Obscenely Developed Moon City
From the heads of state of various countries to ordinary citizens, it was generally believed that the Mars mission should have no technical difficulties, and Mars is just a little farther than the moon.

Most scientists also believe that current human technology is sufficient to send humans to Mars.

I always feel that satellites and probes can be launched to Mars, so what's so difficult about sending people there?
When nuclear fusion technology got stuck in the design of the spacecraft, it was thought that the power system used in the moon landing plan was a liquid fuel rocket.

The theory of this kind of rocket was proposed by Russian scientist Tsiolkovsky as early as 1903. After more than half a century of improvement and application, by the time the Apollo program was implemented, this technology was already very mature.

However, nuclear fusion technology is an out-and-out new technology. Like steam engines or internal combustion engines, it is difficult to achieve technological innovation overnight through practical exploration and step-by-step improvement.

If traditional liquid fuel rockets are used, the Mars spacecraft will carry too much fuel. This kind of power system is only suitable for short-distance space operations.

For example, the moon landing plan only needs three accelerations in space, one is the acceleration from the earth orbit to the moon, the other is the acceleration into the lunar orbit, and the last is the return acceleration from the lunar orbit.

Except for the first acceleration, the other two times don't need much fuel.

However, the Mars mission needs six accelerations in space, one acceleration on the way to Mars, one acceleration on the way, and one acceleration when arriving at Mars to enter Mars orbit, and a corresponding deceleration may be required.

Accelerate once when leaving Mars orbit when returning, accelerate once on the way back, and accelerate once when parking into Earth orbit if necessary.

Even if the fuel consumption for the two speed adjustments into orbit is not much, the other four accelerations will consume a lot of fuel, which greatly increases the burden of the task.

Jiang Yu yawned so much during this discussion meeting that he almost fell asleep several times.

Just when he was about to give a reminder, someone finally remembered the results of the "Staircase Project".

Landing on Mars does not need to reach a speed of one percent of the speed of light, because according to the results of the "Staircase Project", the acceleration process is too long, and it is necessary to fly all the way to Jupiter to achieve this speed.

Just use the "ladder plan" method to drive the spacecraft to Mars.

At that time, the equivalent of the hydrogen bomb can be adjusted to be larger to provide more power for the spacecraft, so that more supplies can be brought.

As a result, everyone was a little dumbfounded after simple calculations. The area of ​​the space sail required to drag the spacecraft may be very large.

Moreover, the required nuclear bomb yield is larger than they imagined.

Just when the experts in charge of the theory were overwhelmed, the engineers who built the spaceship began to rush.

The boss on Mars gave it a year, and the journey from Earth to Mars took about six months.

At least three months should be reserved for the astronauts to search for Mars intelligence signals.

So engineers, only three months of construction time, such a short construction period, think very desperate.

And these buddies in charge of theory, just like the old man walking around, have not been able to determine the power source of the spacecraft, so how do they build it?
Ding Yi, as an expert in nuclear fusion, also participated in the theoretical work of the spacecraft.

Seeing Jiang Yu sitting quietly in a corner of the conference room, he asked him, "What do you think?"

In Ding Yi's impression, Jiang Yu still has some crooked ideas, maybe Jiang Yu can do something about it.

And he always felt that Jiang Yu seemed too honest.

It's not that Jiang Yu is usually active, but that Jiang Yu has always had his own opinions on such major events, and can often give people a clear direction in the chaos.

Jiang Yu thought for a while: "My idea is to tell the representatives of PDC countries about your difficulties."

Ding Yi shook her head with a smile. Those politicians are thankful for not causing trouble. Can they be counted on for help?

But even if they don't report the difficulties they are facing in time, PDC will take the initiative to send people to understand. After all, the time for Mars' wisdom signals is very tight for human beings.

After knowing the inside story, the representatives of various countries discovered that the process of going to Mars seemed to be a test for human beings by the other party.

Just when the representatives of PDC countries followed the scientists and were melancholy together, Jiang Yu silently sent a message to Bill.

So more than two hours later, the "Moon Project" project team announced to PDC on the moon that they had long planned to land on Mars, had a planetary spacecraft, and could complete assembly on the moon in two months.

This news surprised PDC very much. Bill's team's mission to land on Mars was supported by Jiang Yu and reported to PDC.

It’s just that there is no post later, and PDC also investigated, and found too many research topics about landing on Mars in the project team of the “Moon City Project”.

So when looking for a feasible Mars plan before, Bill said nothing, and the PDC review team thought they had no results.

Who would have thought that they had brought this plan to Moon City, and had achieved considerable results.

What also surprised PDC is that the secrecy of Moon City is so good. Now Moon City has its first residents, and they are all Jiang Yu's supporters.

Especially when the "anti-escapeism" was so fierce before, no one wanted to go to the moon except Jiang Yu's supporters.

As long as the first residents of the moon don't say anything, no one will know even if they detonate a nuclear bomb on the moon.

The rotating chairman of the PDC has a bad feeling, as if Moon City has escaped human control.

As the rotating chairman expected, Bill soon proposed to negotiate with the PDC to ask for more autonomy.

The rotating chairman immediately found Jiang Yu and asked him to restrain his planning team, and warned Jiang Yu that his behavior had violated the guidelines of the wall-facing project.

But Jiang Yu said with a victimized look: "The control of the planning team is in the hands of the PDC, so what do I say?
"Besides, Bill and I haven't seen each other for three years. We haven't met at all outside of work. Why should he listen to me?"

The rotating chairman couldn't laugh or cry, Jiang Yu didn't intend to help!

Jiang Yu asked again: "How about I try to go to the moon and see if I can persuade them?"

The rotating chairman hurriedly said: "Don't bother you to run around."

He didn't dare to let Jiang Yu go again, then Bill would have no worries at all.

After leaving from Jiang Yu, the rotating chairman even immediately restricted Jiang Yu's travel.

Not to mention going back to China, not even going out for a walk.

Representatives from various countries have expressed that Jiang Yu will be sanctioned after the incident is over!

The Mars spacecraft on the moon is needed by the official PDC. As a last resort, they had to start negotiating with Bill.

At the same time, the PDC is making other preparations. The J55s equipped in space by various countries have begun to gather. If they can't reach an agreement, they will immediately go to the moon.

At this time, everyone learned that the last lunar spacecraft on the space station had just set off for the moon an hour before Bill's announcement.

The representatives of various countries suddenly felt a toothache. These years, they have been patronizing the construction of space elevators and space cities, and have not paid attention to the management of the moon.

So far, there are only three human spacecraft going to the moon, all of which are in the hands of the "Moon City Project" project team.

The J55's combat radius is only 38 kilometers, and the earth and the moon are [-] kilometers apart. The two are not at the same level at all.

Now it's all right, J55 can't reach it, let alone fight with others, it can't even go to the moon.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket.
