Chapter 369 Follow-up Arrangements
"Everyone should know about today's topic in advance, and now I'll repeat it here, the inventor of aerospace fighters is always Academician Li Zhenhua, who sent us some of his opinions on the development of Mars.

The most important point of view is that the current technical level is not suitable for the development of Mars.

The relevant leaders of our Kyushu Space Agency, after learning about this point of view, conducted some verification and concluded that the point of view put forward by Academician Li is the most suitable for the current situation we are facing.

I'm here today to discuss this point of view, to see what everyone's opinions are, and to see if there are any other points of view! "

As the moderator of the deputy director's seminar, a member of the Kyushu Space Administration repeated Li Zhenhua's views at the meeting, and asked the participants if they had other views.

Just after the leader finished speaking, all the people in the audience, although they knew the topic of the meeting before that, couldn't help but two or three people got together to discuss it.

The leaders were sitting on the rostrum, just sitting so quietly, but the audience in the audience was a little noisy because of the discussions of the experts gathered together in twos and threes.

This kind of noisy voice did not last long, and all the experts know that it is not suitable for them to discuss for too long at this meeting. If they really have any opinions, they should be expressed in front of everyone, and then Let's discuss together.

Soon the entire venue was quiet again. Seeing that many experts had quieted down, the leaders continued to ask on the stage in a timely manner: "Everyone knows our topic today, so I hope everyone can speak enthusiastically. , and strive for today’s seminar to allow us to draw conclusions.”

Just as the leader finished speaking, an elderly expert in the audience turned on the microphone in front of him.

"Hey, hey..., let me talk about my point of view first. I think the point of view put forward by Academician Li Zhenhua is correct, and we at the Kyushu Space Administration should also be thankful that there is a clear-headed person for us at a critical moment. raise objections.

It was too timely. We all fell into the frenzy of Mars development because of the materials brought back by the Mars exploration team, so we in this mountain did not think too comprehensively.

My point is that I agree with Academician Li Zhenhua's point of view, we should consider the development of Mars comprehensively, and we should not lose our minds in the frenzy just because Mars is extremely attractive to us! "

After the old professor finished speaking, there was a younger expert in the audience, who couldn't wait to turn on the microphone in front of him, and then continued to speak.

"I've listened to Mr. Zhang's point of view just now, and I have also understood Academician Li's point of view before, but we can't just put aside a treasure planet like Mars just because of the limitations of technology and the immature conditions now. Just ignore it!

Think about it, comrades, has our exploration of Mars produced any results before this?No!We have been exploring extraterrestrials and Mars before.

I think it is inappropriate for us to give up the development of Mars now, and we will lose the opportunity for Kyushu to expand its space again! "

If there is approval, of course there will be opposition, and these two views are exactly the two mainstream views that people are vacillating about the Mars development plan.

One side thinks that the development of Mars is immature, while the other thinks that the development of Mars should not be given up for various reasons.

Then the two sides held a meeting, and various experts began to express their opinions. You come and go, and no one can convince the other party. These experts all focus on whether to give up Mars completely, but they all forget that Li Zhenhua proposed Properly carry out Mars exploration activities.

The leaders of the Kyushu Space Agency on the stage looked at the somewhat out-of-control scene. Originally, they were asking for opinions, but now, some experts have begun to stand in their original positions, took out pens and paper, and began to write formulas. Then it becomes a discussion of professional issues.

Among them, the leader who presided over the meeting couldn't help but interrupted at the discussion point of everyone.

"Everyone, let's stop for a moment. I heard everyone's speeches just now, but everyone has forgotten one thing in Academician Li Zhenhua's point of view, that is, to continue to maintain the Mars exploration plan.

And the follow-up large-scale development of Mars is not suitable yet, don't forget this point of view.

The opinion of our space agency is that the exploration of Mars must continue, but the point of view of developing Mars that we discussed before will be retained.

When our technological level is reached, the development of Mars will continue. "

Many experts in the audience only noticed the key point of Li Zhenhua's point of view at this moment. After that, the experts began to calculate extremely rigorously, and the final conclusion was really consistent with Li Zhenhua's point of view.

Everyone agreed on this matter, and then the leaders of the space agency asked again if they had any other opinions to raise.

Just after the speech was finished, an expert expressed his opinion.

"Everyone, just like what Teacher Zhang said before, we should be thankful that academician Li Zhenhua has cooled down our fanatical attitude and allowed us to think more calmly.

Just now I came up with a feasible plan in the future, that is, instead of staring at Mars, we might as well focus on the asteroids near the earth now!
I think these asteroids are the focus of our attention. With our current technological level, it is extremely difficult for the subsequent development of Mars, but what about the asteroids around us?

With the level of technology we have mastered, it is completely possible to develop the surrounding asteroids, and these are our future directions.

You must know that the resources on these asteroids are extremely rich, and even some asteroids are just a big iron bump, which is completely composed of metal in space.

From these asteroids, what we can get must be more than what we can get on Mars. There are a huge number of asteroids with massive mineral resources.

And I think we may also find other new elements on these asteroids that are not on the periodic table.

Even if new elements cannot be discovered, it would be good to be able to get back the minerals contained on these asteroids.

On the premise of having an aerospace plane, as long as we bring back a large amount of minerals, we should no longer be stuck by some foreign countries in terms of minerals! "

After the leaders of the space agency heard that someone had raised an issue that had little to do with Mars, a thought arose in their hearts, that there are indeed more people and more power.

Just after this idea was put forward, the participating experts discussed it again.

As the minutes passed, the seminar was gradually coming to an end, and they reached the final conclusion at this time.

The massive development plan of Mars will be postponed indefinitely. When to restart depends on the current level of technology. Everything will be smooth and natural.

The exploration of Mars will continue, which will be of great benefit to them in the future to develop Mars. Don't really know the technology, and they don't know much about Mars yet.

When the exploration of Mars is going on as usual, the environment around the earth will continue to be explored, and the main exploration goals will always be aimed at a large number of asteroids.

As for the scope of exploration, it is within the entire solar system. As far as the speed of the current aerospace aircraft is concerned, it does not yet have the conditions for exploration within the entire solar system. In fact, it is still some areas near the earth.

You must know that the diameter of the solar system is about two light-years in size, and what is the fastest speed they have now?It has just surpassed the third cosmic speed.

Traveling through the solar system at the speed of light takes two years to fly from one end of the sun to the other. Imagine how huge the solar system is.

And the location of the earth is just a speck of dust in the solar system. When the scale is adjusted up, the size of the solar system is like a speck of dust compared to the vast space of the universe.

If they really want to move freely in the solar system, at least they must master the speed of light flight, or the appearance of sub-light speed.

Of course, there is also a technology that allows people to move freely in the solar system. This is the wormhole technology that has not been invented or proven, or the curvature engine.

Only when the curvature engine is invented and the cosmic space can be folded, can they fly out of the solar system and explore a wider cosmic space.

Only at that time, for human beings, the real extraterrestrial exploration has just begun.

This level of secrecy is extremely high, and after the seminar on Kyushu's external exploration in the future is over, Kyushu will start to implement it according to the conclusions drawn at the meeting.

The purpose of the current Kyushu Space Agency is still in the exploration stage. As for how to transport the minerals and other resources that are useful to Kyushu that they explored later to the earth, there is no plan yet.

Of course, in addition to exploration, they will gradually tilt their resources toward the moon in the future. Compared with Mars and the asteroids around the earth, the development value of the moon is greater.

The large amount of helium-[-] contained in the lunar soil on the moon alone is not found in other stars. What's more, before this, there is a new research result, that is, in the deeper part of the moon, there is water. Resources.

So if there is water on the moon, then farming can be done on the moon, and Kyushu has been doing this before, and the farming plan on the moon has never stopped.

The current moon base is no longer a pure scientific research and exploration base, and its only ability has begun to develop in the direction of an agricultural base. Now the moon is not just the previous planting areas.

The entire planting area has expanded more than ten times compared to the beginning, and this planting on the moon has also caused some changes in the seeds brought by the earth.

Take wheat for example, because of the difference in gravity between the moon and the earth, the wheat that grows on the moon becomes bigger in terms of plants, and not only the plants, but also the grains of the wheat fruits are also bigger. in a circle.

Especially from the fourth generation of wheat seeds on the moon, this change is particularly obvious. The plants grow bigger and the fruit grains are fuller from generation to generation.

And as it reproduces from generation to generation, the effect of this increase is also constantly solidifying. In the eyes of agricultural experts, as long as this effect can be solidified successfully, there will be a new round of wheat production on the earth in the future. surge.

Of course, to a certain extent, planting on the moon consumes more resources, but all of this is worth it. If the effects of various plants are solidified, it will be regarded as a land developed on the moon. Block, transformed into a seed breeding base, is also a good result.

In this environment, everything on the moon is going on normally.After that seminar, the space agency formulated a new foreign exploration plan.

The first thing to explain is that there are now a total of four empty aircraft in service in Kyushu, and the main mission of one of them is to travel between the earth and the moon.

As for the arrangements for the other three aerospace planes, the space agency has also made arrangements one by one after the last time.

One of them is still performing Mars-related exploration missions. For now, people still don't know enough about the mysterious Mars, so the scientific research and exploration plan for Mars must continue as normal.

It's just that we will not continue to develop aggressively for Mars, and we are still in the stage of understanding Mars and collecting data on Mars.

And in the subsequent plan, the next time it is launched to Mars, the crew will be adjusted, and the composition of the crew will be adjusted while ensuring the normal operation of the aerospace plane.

The number of personnel operating the aircraft will remain at four, and two more scientists will be added to conduct research on Mars, allowing scientists to conduct field research on Mars and conduct some imagined experiments on Mars.

In the selection of scientists, comprehensive consideration will also be carried out, and experts with extensive knowledge and extensive knowledge will be selected on the premise of their health.

This is the arrangement of this aerospace plane, but what about the other two?One of them exists as a rescue aircraft.

The daily task is to provide rescue for people in the universe, whether it is the Tiangong space station or the Guanghangong base on the moon, they are all within the scope of their rescue, even the Mars exploration team is still within the scope of their duties.

And what about the arrangements for the remaining aerospace plane?They were assigned a mission to explore asteroid resources, and the crew members on it were not just astronauts, and an astronomer was with the plane.

Provide the crew with theoretical and technical support in space, so that they will not get lost in the vast space.
