Chapter 355 Restarting the Moon Landing Project

The first time Tang Long saw Academician Wu Wei was on TV in 2016.

At that time, the major media in Huaguo broadcast the whole process of the "Chang'e-[-]" probe's moon landing, which attracted countless astronomy enthusiasts to watch, and Tang Long was one of them.

As the chief designer of the Huaguo Lunar Exploration Project, Academician Wu Wei had been interviewed by the official media, so Tang Long could remember him.

Four years have passed in a blink of an eye. Compared with the appearance he saw on the live TV, Tang Long can clearly feel that this old academician is much older than before.

Seeing that Tang Long could still recognize him, Wu Wei joked with a smile: "I never thought Mr. Tang would know me as an old man."

"You can just call me Xiao Tang," Tang Long smiled, "It's only been a few years since Chang'e [-] successfully landed on the moon, how could I not recognize you?"

In fact, since Chang'e-[-] successfully landed on the moon, Academician Wu Wei has retreated into the background and rarely appeared in the media.

If Tang Long hadn't been injected with [H2 Biogene Drug] this time, his memory and thinking ability had improved dozens of times, he would definitely not have recognized Academician Wu Wei.

Turning his head and looking at Song Qingwan, and after saying hello silently, Tang Long then asked, "Academician Wu, what's the matter with you this time?"

"It's not for you," Academician Wu Wei said with a smile, "I heard that you have applied to high-level officials to restart the moon landing project, and Longteng International will also be the leading party of the project and carry out a separate project, so I came to talk to you. "

Originally, after Chang'e-2019 successfully landed on the moon in January 1, China planned to launch Chang'e-2019 around the end of [-] to achieve regional soft landing and sample return.

Unexpectedly, a sudden epidemic caused the entire lunar exploration plan to be postponed again and again, and there is no news of restarting it so far.

Industry insiders estimate that at least until the beginning of 2021, or even the end of 2021, China is expected to resume the lunar exploration project.

However, just a week ago, the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Bureau suddenly contacted Academician Wu Wei, informing him that China planned to restart the moon landing project, and asked him to prepare to join a new project team.

Under the current global economic downturn, the abnormal restart of the moon landing project in China even vaguely has the meaning of rising to the level of national strategy, which surprised Academician Wu Wei very much.

After checking the relevant information and reports, he found out that Longteng International initiated this matter.

Although academician Wu Wei didn't know much about Longteng International before, he has the right to consult relevant confidential files.

After checking the confidential files about the NA Reactor Nuclear Power Plant on the Dapeng Peninsula, he became very interested in Longteng International and its founder Tang Long, which is why he visited today.

"Our group company is more interested in space travel, so we decided to increase our scientific research efforts in this area." Tang Long smiled lightly.

He didn't know whether the other party knew about the NA reactor nuclear power plant project, so he didn't explain the real reason for the lunar exploration project.

Academician Wu Wei looked at Zhu Guanglong at the side, pouted his lips at Song Qingwan, and asked in a low voice: "Colonel Zhu, does Xiao Song have permission to know the second-level classified information?"

Zhu Guanglong understood what Academician Wu meant and nodded immediately.

Although the higher-ups did not make it clear, according to Song Qingwan's identity, she has tacitly had the right to know the information about the projects that Longteng International participated in, that is, she can know some second-level confidential information.

After receiving Zhu Guanglong's reply, Academician Wu Wei said seriously: "Xiao Tang, I have read the report you submitted to the Bureau of Science and Industry. I heard that you plan to install a new NA engine on the Shenzhou spacecraft?"

"That's right, our group company already has mature technology, and the last step is to put it into practice." Now that Academician Wu Wei already knew the relevant inside information, Tang Long didn't intend to hide anything, and simply said straight to the point.

According to the report he submitted to the Bureau of Science and Industry, a separate project team will be established for this moon landing project, which will not conflict with the Chang'e series.

Longteng International provides the "Pioneer" probe, which directly takes the Shenzhou spacecraft into space, and then the Longteng International Data Center controls the probe to land on the moon, and carries out the detection and excavation of NA mines on the back of the moon.

In fact, with Tang Long's current scientific and technological strength, even if he does not use the Shenzhou spacecraft, he can still transport the probe and unmanned mining vehicles to the moon.

Whether it is the space transport ship he got on the [Abell spaceship] or the Jumper spaceship that the world of Stargate got, it can easily do this.

However, this time the moon mining plan is not only for himself, but also for Huaguo to obtain more NA mineral resources.

In order to excavate NA mines from the moon aboveboard, he can only hand over the [Pioneer] probe loaded with robots and mine carts to the country to launch into space.

Of course, in order to ensure success, Tang Long, in the name of Longteng International, provided the Bureau of Science and Technology with the design drawings of the NA engine and some NA metal raw materials.

The Shenzhou spacecraft equipped with NA engines will greatly improve its carrying capacity, and it can go to and from the moon by itself without using the Long March [-] to propel it.

Academician Wu Wei asked in disbelief: "Have you overcome the five major difficulties of the lunar exploration project?"

For a long time, the lunar exploration project has faced many technical difficulties, among which the five major difficulties are mainly separated, complex patterns, harsh details, temperature control, and weight loss pressure.

The more complex the detector, the higher the requirements for the ground control system, and the higher the power requirements for the Shenzhou spacecraft.

In fact, to sum up, the two most important difficulties are the communication system and the energy system.

In order to reduce their own weight and extend the working time, all the lunar probes launched by all countries use solar cells as the main power source.

Once the lunar probe enters the back of the moon, it will not only lose the continuous energy source of the sun, but also temporarily interrupt the signal with the ground control center.

If this problem is not solved, the lunar probe will not be able to work on the back of the moon for a long time, let alone actively return to the earth.

In addition, when the position of the lunar probe is facing away from the earth, the communication between the probe and the ground controller will be interrupted, and most of the probes will enter the sleep mode.

At this time, if there is severe weather such as a storm on the surface of the moon, the lunar probe will easily lose contact.

The above problems restrict the size of the lunar probe and its range of activities.

But these are not a problem for Tang Long.

"That's right, we have a perfect solution, and you will know it when the time comes." Tang Long nodded with a smile.

With the NA engine providing continuous energy and super power, the Shenzhou spacecraft can carry larger lunar probes and more materials.

[Pioneer] The probe will carry four robots to the moon, which will be used to drive the mine cart to mine and prospect, and control the probe to return to the Shenzhou spacecraft.

It doesn't matter even if [Pioneer] can't mine in large quantities, Longteng International will continue to send equipment and robots to the moon anyway.

In fact, Tang Long's purpose is just to borrow domestic passages in name, and privately he will use the Jumper spaceship to transport his robot miners to start work on the back of the moon, no one else knows anyway.

After pondering for a moment, Academician Wu Wei said in a deep voice: "There will be a seminar on the moon landing project the day after tomorrow, which will be held at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Come and see it then."

"No problem, I will attend on time." Tang Long replied with a smile.
