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.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin will not think too much about it for the time being.
However, now that he has come to the moon, he has only collected ordinary metal ores such as aluminum, magnesium, and iron, as well as rare earth elements.
If that's the case, then his trip to the moon is completely a loss-making business.
After all, the super lithium-air batteries required by the space shuttle and the materials used by the space shuttle itself are all very precious materials.
Not to mention consuming a lot of electricity, Zhou Jimin would not be happy just collecting these metals and rare earth elements.
Therefore, he established a base directly on the surface of the moon and began to collect helium 3.
It is a helium isotope gas. The gas is colorless, tasteless, odorless and stable. It is a high-pressure gas that is generally stored in cylinders.
"After a few months or half a year, we should be able to get several thousand tons, right?"
After spending a few days, Zhou Jimin finally finished the base. Without any hesitation, he directly pressed the switch and started to start the machine.
That is to say, artificial intelligence is still too bad and cannot execute commands at all.
Otherwise, Zhou Jimin would definitely make a few robots to guard here.
As for the artificial intelligence in Oasis New City, it might as well be said to be artificially retarded.
It can still play a certain role in places such as roads and factories, but in places like the moon, forget it.
He doesn't want the base he spent time and effort to build to be destroyed by a retarded robot.
The place he has chosen so far is the Mare where there is a large amount of lunar basalt.
As we all know, there are 22 main lunar maria distributed on the surface of the moon. Except for the East China Sea, Moskva Mare and Wisdom Mare, which are located on the back side of the moon (the side facing away from the Earth), the other 19 lunar maria are distributed on the front side of the moon (the side facing the Earth).
.
The reason why we chose this location on the Moon Sea is naturally because of the resources.
After all, it is very difficult to mine lunar helium 3. To obtain one gram of helium 3, at least 150 tons of lunar surface soil must be processed.
I don’t know if it’s worth spending a lot of resources to refine helium 3.
We’ll wait until the results come out.
After the base was established, Zhou Jimin went to other seas for several months, probably walking on the lunar surface for at least several thousand kilometers.
Neither Chang'e nor the Jade Rabbit could be found, but it didn't matter. When Zhou Jimin was about to give up, he found an unknown metal element.
So he quickly returned to the small world of space and began to purify this thing.
The first is to test the content of this thing on the surface of the moon, the second is to find out what the characteristics and functions of this thing are, and the third is to confirm whether this thing is also available on the earth.
"I hope my hard work will not be in vain."
After starting the experiment, Zhou Jimin prayed.
Half a month has passed since he left the earth and entered the moon.
This was half a month when he completely disappeared from the earth, and no one could contact him.
Maybe in the future, he can establish the communication relationship between the earth and the moon, but right now, he can't do it yet.
The main problems are energy, technology, etc., and there are too few talents.
If you want to break through these technical limitations, there are too many things that need to be done.
After all, the average distance between the earth and the moon is 380,000 kilometers, and the distance to perigee is also 360,000 kilometers, which is too far away.
The location of the polar orbit is only 36,000 kilometers above the ground.
The gap between the two sides is not a small one.
In the small world of space, Zhou Jimin spent several days and finally figured this thing out.
This thing should be a new element formed on the surface of the moon through the collision of asteroids after being radiated by gamma rays and other rays in the universe.
As we all know, the moon blocks the impact of numerous asteroids and meteorites from the earth every day. It can be said to be the earth’s protective angel.
After all, the moon's huge gravity can block most meteorite attacks on the earth, so that humans can thrive smoothly and not be attacked by frequent meteorites.
The element studied by Zhou Jimin is not widely available, but its content is not small.
Anyway, Zhou Jimin randomly extracted a thousand tons of soil from the moon's surface, and through complex procedures, he was able to refine and purify about five kilograms of unknown white elements.
Named Moon Rabbit Gold by him!
Why is it called gold?
Because this thing is more important than gold. For now, Zhou Jimin’s test can tell that it is definitely the strongest metal.
And it is alloyed with other elements, such as iron, titanium, gold and other metals to form new alloy metals, and the hardness can be increased ten times.
You know, this thing called Moon Rabbit Gold has been able to stay on the surface of the moon after various cosmic accidents, rays, impacts, etc., which shows that this thing is really missing.
In addition, it is very light, almost as light as gray metal.
With high hardness but light weight, this stuff is definitely the best material for spacecraft.
In addition, the high-temperature resistance also exceeds the silicon wafer material of the space shuttle, which is amazing!
