From June 21st, when the second-generation Hanhai space shuttle took off from Xiashu Space Base with six astronauts on board, it has come to the end of July, more than a month has passed.
Although he was busy with a lot of other things in the meantime, Xu Chuan has never forgotten the manned landing project here.
In fact, he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to. After all, it was the first time in human history that he had embarked on a miraculous journey to other 'planets'.
In the office, Chang Huaxiang smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, Hanhai has reached the synchronous orbit of Mars and is currently changing towards low-Earth orbit."
"According to the planning and arrangement of the manned mission, they will stay in the low-Earth orbit of Mars for 12 hours. After completing the preparations for the mission and data collection, the four astronauts who will land on Mars will arrive in August respectively.
At ten o'clock in the morning on the same day, the manned boarding work will be carried out on time."
Academician Chang Huaxiang was filled with emotion when talking about the manned mission to Mars that was about to start in less than thirty-six hours.
Having experienced nearly the entire development of China's aerospace history, he now understands how difficult it was for this day to come.
If it were five years ago, and someone told you that China would launch a manned mission to the Moon in 2025, I am afraid that the first people to jump out in opposition would be the domestic public intellectuals, shepherd dogs, the Road Leading Party and others.
They don't even need to wait for their master to stand up and express doubts, they will think of all kinds of words and cite all kinds of evidence to prove that this is an impossible thing.
The aerospace engineering is a face-saving and image-saving project. I think its main function is to make people happy.
It’s simply fanciful to think about manning a manned mission to the fire when you’re serializing a manned landing on the moon…
I believe that if someone said that China could carry a man to the moon in 2025, these people would jump out and laugh and ridicule without hesitation.
But in just five years, their development in the aerospace field has made everyone who once regarded the United States as the largest country in aerospace shut their mouths.
In five years, they not only successfully landed a man on the moon, but also built a scientific research base unique to them on the moon, ahead of all other countries in the world.
And now, the footprints belonging to the Chinese people are about to be imprinted on another planet tens of millions of kilometers away.
Opposite the sofa, Xu Chuan took a sip from his tea cup and asked with a smile: "Are you ready for the publicity work?"
Chang Huaxiang nodded and said cheerfully: "Everything is ready. The entire platform will push relevant news to the outside world. As long as there is an Internet connection, we can let them know."
"but....."
After a slight pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Will this affect the work on the carbon-based chips you are deploying and promoting?"
Although he has been working in the aerospace industry, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the information from the outside world.
At least he must be aware of the carbon-based chip technology breakthrough that is currently making a splash.
Chang Huaxiang did not expect that a breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology would occur at this node.
After all, the work related to manned missions has been arranged long ago, and publicity resources are limited. If they are invested in the aerospace field, the popularity of carbon-based chips will inevitably decrease.
This may cause interference to some deployments at the national level.
As an old academician, he naturally does not want to see this situation happen.
Especially this is still in the most critical chip field, an area where they have been stuck for a long time.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The deployment of carbon-based chips has nothing to do with aerospace. Everything you need to know is already known."
"For ordinary people, the heat these days is enough to raise their expectations for carbon-based chips. As for those semiconductor manufacturers..."
After a pause, he continued with a smile: "Even if there is no publicity, they will try every means to find out the information and use various channels to understand the situation."
"The manned mission is different. This is not only a breakthrough in aerospace technology, but also a track that enhances the self-confidence and glory of the people. It is also an important means to enhance our influence in the international community, so the wider the publicity
The better.”
The significance of manned landing on the moon is completely different for China than manned landing on the moon.
As early as the last century, when the United States and the Soviet Union launched a space competition, the United States had already landed on the moon first.
So they landed on the moon two years ago, but the impact on the world was not big enough.
Even though they have established a scientific research base on the moon, in the eyes of many countries, there may not be much difference between their aerospace technology and that of Laomi.
Even if it is ahead, it is only a little ahead on the spacecraft.
Although there are factors such as Lao Mi controlling the world's media channels and constantly creating various news to forcefully increase the space distance between the two countries.
But it is undeniable that the impact of manned landing on the moon is far greater than that of manned landing on the moon.
Over the years, with the support of various science fiction movies, news about unmanned fire detection, and even famous entrepreneurs such as Musk talking about Mars, the world has paid great attention and expectations to this matter.
And everyone knows that manned landing on Mars is much more difficult than manned landing on the moon.
Therefore, whoever can actually land on Mars first in the future will undoubtedly be the absolute number one in terms of scientific and technological development in the aerospace field, and will be the number one in the field!
Not only does China need this impact, Xu Chuan himself also needs it.
He has been studying the comprehensive transformation project of Mars for some time. Although he is still not completely sure whether it is feasible or not, according to the experimental data currently explored, everything is moving in the feasible direction.
And when this project is really to be implemented, it will be necessary for China to control the absolute core aerospace dominance in the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, the momentum of this wave of manned missions must be publicized as widely as possible.
Chang Huaxiang nodded and said: "It's no problem. Don't worry. We are not only doing the promotion related to manned missions, but the higher-ups are also fully supporting it."
"Not only domestic media, but also foreign channels have been opened up. After tonight, large-scale publicity activities will officially begin."
He seemed to be proud and happy about the upcoming manned mission, and he joked with a smile on his face.
"I can guarantee that the moment our astronauts set foot on Mars, they will be the most beautiful and beautiful cubs in the world."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan also laughed.
To describe the great astronauts who went on mission to Mars as the most beautiful cubs in the world, this is what the academician Chang Lao in front of me can say.
However, in his eyes, those astronauts with an average age of 30-40 years old are not much different from his descendants. After all, the old academician is already in his early eighties this year.
Even if you get married and have children at the age of thirty, the children are now fifty. Even if you get married and have children earlier, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are grandchildren.
What's more important is that this group of astronauts has indeed grown up under his own eyes.
"By the way, speaking of which, how did you go about the Mars terraforming thing you were thinking about before?"
After chatting for a while, Chang Huaxiang looked at Xu Chuan curiously and asked: "Didn't I get a large amount of detection data for you last time? How about it? Is there any possibility of transformation?"
He was quite curious about the Mars transformation plan that Xu Chuan had been working on mysteriously.
Whether it is the core Martian magnetic field or the thin atmosphere, they are fatal flaws that affect human immigration and settlement on Mars.
If these two points are not resolved, it will be almost impossible for humans to live and act on Mars as they do on Earth.
Hearing this question, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "That's why I came here today."
After a slight pause, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said, "Xiao Ling, help me package the documents related to Mars transformation that I compiled before and send them to Academician Chang Huaxiang's mailbox."
