Chapter 408 The surface of the moon(1/2)
After exiting the small world of space, Zhou Jimin’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.
There may not seem to be many mistakes, and they are all extremely small mistakes, but in fact, these mistakes are all unforgivable.
The workshop door was pushed open, and when Zeng Qingfeng and the others saw Zhou Jimin's face, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.
Did something happen?
"Comrade Zeng Qingfeng, I'll give you a week. You can carefully inspect this satellite and point out eight existing problems to me."
"I'm cheating on you. If you can't find the problem, then go back and reflect on it yourself."
"I told you a long time ago, you can't take any chances!"
"You must be responsible for every satellite launch mission to the end, and be careful and careful. It is useless to test for 99 points, and it is useless to test for 100 points. You must continue to improve yourself on the basis of maintaining the 100 points."
"Otherwise, no matter how many astronauts we have..."
Zhou Jimin didn’t say anything else.
But the meaning has been expressed very clearly. I believe that with Zeng Qingfeng's intelligence, it is impossible not to know what he meant.
In fact, these people are already sweating profusely.
Unexpectedly, there were eight problems with the polar-orbiting satellite this time.
And looking at Zhou Jimin’s appearance, he was very, very angry.
What should I do?
However, Zhou Jimin didn't know what they would do.
After leaving the production workshop, Zhou Jimin returned home.
After staying at home for two days and bidding farewell to Ding Qiunan and the others, Zhou Jimin came to the Loulan Historic Site.
At the location of the small launch center, a stealth space shuttle suddenly appeared.
Different from the Yangtze Space Shuttle, this stealth space shuttle is more sci-fi and realistic.
It looks like a bullet and is extremely offensive.
If it weren't for the fact that there were three tires on the belly of the aircraft, many people who saw it for the first time would have thought it was just an enlarged version of a bullet.
"I hope you can gain some energy!"
Zhou Jimin has great expectations for this space shuttle, because it is a space shuttle built with an all-electric drive engine.
Whether it is on the ground or in space, its flight speed is unquestionable.
Soon, he launched the space shuttle.
The bullet head, which originally had no gap at all, suddenly separated on both sides into a depression that was only ten centimeters wide and four meters long.
Then, a pair of wings as thin as cicada wings stretched out from the concave position.
These wings seem to be very thin, only nine centimeters thick.
However, the hardness is very high, ten times that of the hardest component on the Yangtze Space Shuttle.
The wingspan on one side is as long as nine meters, and the two sides together are 18 meters wide.
Used as a stabilizer wing for ground flight, the width of 18 meters is enough.
Thanks to vertical take-off and landing technology, the space shuttle took off smoothly.
There are no aero engines on both sides of the wingspan, but it doesn't matter. Eight positions including the middle and tail of the entire bullet are equipped with pure electric drive engines, which can provide sufficient power for the aircraft.
Once the eight-engine space shuttle moves forward at full speed, its flight speed will reach the extreme.
Of course, it's not necessary when you're on the ground.
Just turn on four of the engines and push the speed to the fourth gear, and the space shuttle can easily exceed Mach 16.
The speed of a single engine is about Mach 5.
It's just that this is only theoretical data from the laboratory, and there will definitely be deviations in the actual flight speed.
And because the ground has strong air resistance, the flight speed is basically stable at around Mach 4.8.
But even so, after the four engines are started together, it is only the fourth gear and has already exceeded Mach 16.
If it is fifth gear, the speed will only be faster.
The entire space shuttle is invisible and cannot be seen by the outside world.
However, it left the earth's surface at an extremely fast speed.
Soon it left the atmosphere, and then came to the ion layer, entering the layer between space and the ground.
But it didn't stay at this level for too long, because the speed of the space shuttle was too fast.
"Moon, I'm here. Chang'e definitely doesn't have it, but the moon should be able to give me the answer to the metal element I'm looking for, right?"
Staring at the moon in the distance, Zhou Jimin secretly guessed.
After the space shuttle entered space, the other four engines also started.
The speed doubled again, and because there was no air resistance, the flying speed was faster.
Especially after moving away from the earth, the earth's traction becomes smaller and the speed becomes faster.
The scenery in space is something Zhou Jimin has never seen before.
When you stand on the surface of the earth and look up at the stars, the stars are just stars.
But when you are in space and look up at the stars, you will only feel pessimistic emotions such as loneliness, helplessness, and insignificance.
It takes extremely strong willpower to overcome the invasion of these negative emotions.
Many people may think that space is shocking, which is true, but most people still feel pessimistic.
The sun is big and the moon is small.
As time goes by, Zhou Jimin has arrived in the lunar orbit. At this time, he can slow down and let the moon's gravity capture the space shuttle.
Then slowly land on the moon.
Under normal circumstances, such as the Apollo spacecraft, after it is launched from the earth, it does not fly to the moon immediately. Instead, it first flies around the earth for one to several times, adjusts the speed, direction, angle, etc., and then restarts the engine.
, heading for an orbit towards the moon.
Zhou Jimin did not have such troubles. He accurately calculated all the track lines and running directions.
Therefore, when he was in low-Earth orbit just now, he did not stay too long.
After all, the speed of his space shuttle is too fast. There is no need to circle the earth several times before flying to the moon.
As we all know, generally speaking, it only takes ninety minutes for the space station to circle the earth.
Although ninety minutes is not very long, Zhou Jimin didn’t want to waste these ninety-five minutes, so he just flew to the moon and that was it.
The space shuttle was quickly captured by the moon's gravity, and Zhou Jimin didn't need much action.
Along with the waiting time, the space shuttle quickly arrived over the moon and began to land.
A hole suddenly appeared on the top of the plane, and the parachute suddenly appeared.
The moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the earth, but for Zhou Jimin, the damage caused by this error can be avoided.
Therefore, the parachute must be deployed as a backup tool.
Soon, the space shuttle successfully landed on the lunar surface, and the next work became very important.
He first searched and observed on the lunar surface, and then began geological survey and inspection.
Experiments such as extravehicular activities on the lunar surface and so on are actually very simple. Zhou Jimin does not need to be so complicated and can just start it.
"It would be difficult to find suitable elements on the moon."
After exploring for a while, Zhou Jimin suddenly felt a little discouraged.
Obviously, this place is not as good as imagined. After all, the formation process of the moon is actually very different from other planets.
In other words, the elements possessed by the moon are actually on the periodic table.
What to do?
For the time being, I can only act recklessly.
After the survey work was completed, Zhou Jimin began to build a lunar surface base to prepare for digging resources on the moon in the future.
The small world in space is very big, but if a large amount of lunar soil is filled back into space, there is no telling what will happen.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Zhou Jimin is only screening on a small scale for the time being.
Not to mention, the ores such as aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron, and silicon that he was particularly fond of pursuing in the past are still very common here.
There is also helium-3 that Zhou Jimin is looking forward to. This stuff is very useful and can be used as fuel for nuclear power plants, spacecraft, etc.
And when using helium-3 as energy, it will not produce radiation and will not cause harm to the environment.
Of course, the content of this stuff on the earth is very small, about fifteen tons, but on the moon it is more than a million tons.
As the most ideal fuel for nuclear fusion, helium-3 requires very high temperatures and is only suitable for nuclear pulse detonation engines.
