Technology Bigshot

...

Just when the European Space Agency announced the exploration of Mars, it also announced the plan for Europeans to land on Mars.

As soon as the news came out, the current NASA and CNSA showed a lukewarm attitude, especially NASA and the European Space Agency. They have money, but some key technologies are flawed. At this time, it is natural to find NASA talks about cooperation.

And NASA is very clear that it is okay to cooperate with other space projects, but Mars is out of the question.

In desperation, he bit the bullet and went to CNSA, but also hit a wall, which annoyed the European Space Agency, and also sent a very important piece of information. The two super players seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and did not want a third party to intervene. Mars.

It seems that there is something tricky in it, but they would never have thought that the two sides had secretly divided up Mars, especially the massive investment in Matrix Technology made NASA firmly believe that Mars will soon become a new habitat for humans in the near future.

[No] [Error] Novel 3.quu.cm Faced with such a vast territory, the temptation is hard to resist. He thinks he is super powerful and has reason to share the cake with others.

Although there is a clear stipulation in international law that the solar system is shared by mankind, such words are just talk. Space exploration and extraterrestrial competition are not based on talk, but on real hard power.

Just when the European Space Agency announced that it would send an advanced satellite into the orbit of Mars, the two sides were thinking that it would be best if the satellite could not reach its destination, and it would be aborted.

True and false, false and true, in today’s situation, the outside world can’t tell whether Matrix Technology is going to do it on Mars. In fact, Matrix Technology is playing the real thing under cover, and Ziyuanjing is naturally the first priority. Strategic mission, but colonizing Mars is also not just for the sake of fooling around.

It will be a matter of time before humans colonize Mars, and Matrix Technology is just taking advantage of this opportunity to put a layer of smoke bombs.

Three months later, the "Mars Express" came to Mars again, bringing the Americans' Noah 3 with a mass of 1,049 tons to Mars orbit.

Since then, the Americans have also had a Mars space station operating in orbit, but it is only more than 600 tons, and a large amount of materials are still used for the construction of the Mars Dika Walker outpost base.

In the previous and subsequent voyages, in the past half a year, Haifengkan has undergone tremendous changes, and the outpost base has become extremely large. An outpost base covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters was born in Haifengkan, where heavy machinery is docked. on clay.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a 30-meter-high minaret, which has become a landmark building of the outpost base. The brightly colored flag floating slowly on the top of the minaret indicates the affiliated party of this base.

The function of this steeple is defensive equipment, and the target is naturally the Martian native creature snake lizard. The "Firefly No. 3" satellite in space monitors the area of ​​​​the wind ridge around the clock, and the life detector is always in operation.

Once a Martian snake lizard tries to approach the base at night, the first layer of defense spires will release high-intensity ultraviolet rays, covering a radius of up to 4.7 kilometers. For the snake lizard, this is a deadly ray. How many people died to ensure the safety of the outpost base.

The ground-drilling omnic has been working non-stop for several months, and the tunnel has been opened four months ago, and the entire tunnel has been reinforced in the following two and a half months.

Laomei's "Observer 5" would pass over the Gaifengkan at regular intervals, making an autumn breeze at regular intervals. CMSX didn't care about this kind of monitoring behavior. The number of small soil bumps piled up at the wind ridge is increasing day by day, and the Americans also know that CMSX is drilling into the ground, but the other party does not want to do it.

I also asked about it at one time, and the response was to study the habitat of the snake lizard, and there may be underground liquid water under the old Olympus.

Regarding this point, NASA also, through the "Explorer" Mars locomotive, they also found out that the moisture content in the ground of Pezos is gradually increasing.

Everyone is still playing with each other.

Just today, two Mars landing vehicles carrying a batch of new members and equipment entered the Hurricane Bay one after another. One transport ship carried four containers that were basically empty, while the other transport ship loaded a super Large heavy mobile equipment - mobile condensate cutter.

, Two 18-ton heavy-duty Mars rovers drove into the flat sandy land 4 kilometers away from the base of the outpost, and the two "Red Eagle" transport ships had already parked on the ground. The two heavy-duty Mars rovers drove to their respective spacecraft.

At this moment, the tail compartments of the two transports have already been opened.

Several astronauts wearing protective suits came down from the heavy truck. This landing also brought six members. Under the control of the staff, four basically empty containers were loaded from the Mars rover. There were only a small amount of life in the container. Supplies.

These fully enclosed containers are very useful to be transported to Mars in an empty state. Each container can hold about 6 tons of purple source crystal ore.

After two hours of effort, the rover began transporting the containers to the outpost base.

On the other side, what is loaded on the "Red Eagle-2" is a real big guy.

The mobile condensate cutter weighs 47 tons, and it is still a whole. The whole spacecraft is basically saturated after loading this big guy. After unloading the spacecraft, the Mars rover dragged this big guy to the outpost base.

In the base, Ren Hong stood on the spire and took advantage of the wide view from the high place to see not far away, two Mars rovers were moving forward in the billowing red dust, and he was a little excited.

The cutting machine is here, which means that the crystal mine can finally be mined, so much energy, financial and material resources are devoted to this moment?

At this moment, eight or nine staff members wearing orange-red protective clothing appeared outside the outpost base one after another. One staff member held a flag and waved a semaphore, and two Mars rovers continued to enter the outpost base.

The six new members came to the surface one after another. After a short meeting, the tense work continued. Ren Hong also stepped down from the steeple and came to the scene.

Li Xingfeng was in charge of the work, and the containers were properly placed after they were unloaded.

The immediate priority is to get the mobile condensate cutter into the tunnel interior.

"Be careful, this treasure is worth several aircraft carriers, and it's so expensive." Li Xingfeng reminded that in order to fiddle with this condensation cutter, the cost alone cost 70 billion yuan. An environment close to absolute zero is a rigid requirement for cutting crystals, and the demanding hardware requirements for technical difficulty and mobility are directly reflected in the sky-high cost.

A large group of staff spent half a day repeatedly checking, and after confirming that everything was normal, they finally sent this big guy with tens of tons to the track at the entrance of the tunnel.

Seeing this, Ren Hong was gearing up, and walked to the control room inside the cutter first, and at the same time said Mingjie, come with me, you have been studying this part with me for several months, today you see that I am controlling this device. "

"Yes, Professor Wang."

Seeing this, an astronaut trotted and entered the control room with Ren Hong.

After a while, Li Xingfeng and others watched the 47-ton machine slowly go deep along the heavy rails in the straight tunnel. There was no window in front of the control room, but there was a camera, and the control room was behind the equipment.

The distance of a few kilometers was reached in no time.

"There is no need to explain the characteristics of Ziyuanjing. It also has a special structure that is uniformly distributed, such as a hexahedral crystal structure..." Ren Hong said while controlling the equipment. In fact, this cutting machine is highly automated. All you have to do is to monitor the data and whether the equipment is operating normally, and the rest is basically nothing. "

As he spoke, Ren Hong clicked a button, and outside the tunnel entrance, the front part of the cutter was combined with the Ziyuan crystal with zero gap.

At this moment, the equipment is already in operation.

Ren Hong waited anxiously. When he saw a new message popping up on the display panel, he immediately got up. Mingjie, just watch, I'll go and see first! "

Ren Hong immediately left the control room and came to the back storage area of ​​the equipment.

The first crystal has been cut and is being transported to the rear storage area.

When a dark purple crystal smaller than half a fist was quietly placed in the storage area, Ren Hong locked on which small crystal, he squatted down and picked it up.

Before he had time to observe carefully, the second crystal of the same size and exactly the same size was transported through the track again, still braving the icy white mist, the surface temperature of the just cut amethyst crystal was shockingly low, Ren Hong dared to go directly to get it It is because of the existence of protective clothing.

It was these dark purple crystals that kept him dreaming, and now he finally got his wish.

Watching crystals being transported piece by piece, even Ren Hong, who is used to big scenes, couldn't stop his inner excitement. This is the key material to leverage the era of wireless energy, and it is enough to lay the cornerstone of a country's space supremacy.

Each crystal is congruent. According to the peak energy storage value, this crystal of about 200 grams can store high-purity energy equivalent to 185 trillion joules of energy, which is the largest volume that a cutting machine can cut in a single time.

Seeing more and more crystals piled up, Ren Hong couldn't help grinning. These crystals are truly priceless and well-deserved. (To be continued.)
