Chapter 427 Invisible Hat
Chapter 427 Invisible Hat
While waiting for the news in the hotel, Kang Chi was not idle, but continued to formulate and modify the future development direction of himself and the group.
The Liu Chief crisis came suddenly and ended quickly.
As Li Xinqiang analyzed, after the early showdown and the strong deterrent effect, the research and development priority of military technology is no longer the highest.
In addition, the drone aircraft carrier plan formulated by Kang Chi at the beginning actually only has the last two pieces of the puzzle left.
Among them, Ren Zhou is responsible for the aircraft carrier, and Mu Zilong is responsible for the H-20S. The design plans of these two projects have been finalized, and they are just waiting for the final completion and testing. Kang Chi has basically nothing to do.
After these two pieces of the puzzle are complete, it is no exaggeration to say that no one in the entire Blue Star can threaten us with force for at least the next half century.
Next, we just need to continue to maintain and expand our advantages.
No matter which direction Kang Chi will focus on in the future, it is actually a side job to achieve this.
As for the main direction, Kang Chi has temporarily determined two directions.
The first is to establish the Daming Deep Space Exploration and Development Company and look to the stars and the sea.
While looking to the future, we must not forget the current contradictions.
When technology is becoming more and more advanced, people’s lives are getting worse and worse, which means that the direction of technology use may have deviations and errors.
Or, the dividends of technology are only in the hands of a few people…
Just when Kang Chi was thinking about how to correct all this with technological means, Li Xinqiang called him to inform him that he would go to the Space Administration for a meeting at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.
As for what the meeting was, he didn’t tell Kang Chi and didn’t ask.
Early the next morning, Kang Chi arrived at the Space Administration on time, and then came to a small meeting room under the leadership of Academician Li.
The leaders of the two national aerospace teams, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, were already inside. When they saw Kang Chi, they all greeted him enthusiastically and introduced themselves.
After a while, Director Ge of the Space Administration came in with Zhang Peirong, the chief engineer of Tianwen-2, and Ye Hualiang, the orbit designer whom Kang Chi had met yesterday.
After a brief exchange of words, Director Ge said, “Everyone’s time is precious, so I won’t waste so much time talking and get straight to the point.”
”Today, I invited everyone to this small meeting for two things. One is about Academician Kang’s proposal to investigate the disappearance of NASA’s Lucy probe, and the other is about the moon landing.”
”Let’s talk about the diversion of Tianwen-2 first… Chief Engineer Zhang, Professor Ye, have you come up with a rough plan?”
The two people who were called nodded. Professor Ye, who was responsible for designing the flight trajectory of Tianwen-2, took the initiative to get up and sit at the reporting seat, connected the projector and played a rough flight route map.
“According to my calculations, Tianwen-2 needs to change its orbit about six times to reach the designated star field. Considering that a certain amount of fuel needs to be reserved to deal with emergencies after discovering the target celestial body, it is necessary to save fuel as much as possible and not pursue speed too much…”
Hearing this, Kang Chi couldn’t help asking: “How long will it take?”
”72 days.”
Hearing this number, Kang Chi was silent.
More than two months, for Kang Chi who was eager to know the answer, it was somewhat tormenting…
But there was no way, Tianwen-2 should be the fastest spacecraft that could get there.
Even if Kang Chi built one now, he might not be able to get there faster than it. After all, it takes time to build one.
”Okay… Then if there is any new news, please notify me.”
”No problem.”
After Zhang Peirong nodded to Kang Chi, he continued with what Professor Ye said.
“Since a lot of fuel is consumed for a large number of orbit changes and acceleration and deceleration, once the target celestial body is found, it will consume a lot of fuel to change the orbit. Tianwen-2 will probably not have enough fuel to return to Earth. Therefore, for Tianwen-2, this is most likely a one-way trip.”
”In addition, considering that the target celestial body may have a strong gravitational force, it is definitely unrealistic to carry out a sample collection mission. We decided to find the target as early as possible so that Tianwen-2 can enter its stable orbit when it arrives, and then carry out long-term observation and information collection on the target.”After hearing what Professor Ye said, Director Ge was inevitably a little disappointed.
After all, the original plan of Tianwen-2 was to collect samples from the 2016HO3 asteroid and send them back, so many modules of the entire project were designed for this task.
Now these carefully prepared modules have suddenly become decorations, which makes people feel a little distressed and regretful.
And Kang Chi naturally agrees with Mr. Zhang’s judgment.
That thing is very likely to be a celestial body composed of superheavy elements with a relative atomic mass of 376, which means that the density and hardness of the material it is composed of are likely to be higher than osmium and diamond. Even if Tianwen-2 can retain enough fuel to get rid of its gravity, its collection module will definitely not be able to complete the task.
At the same time, there may be a large number of asteroid debris on its surface. The real treasure is estimated to have been buried deep and cannot be easily collected. Therefore, giving up the sample collection mission is a very wise choice.
After finishing the topic of Tianwen-2, Director Ge finally looked at Kang Chi.
“Regarding the lunar landing project, Academician Li has discussed it with me yesterday. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has decided to cancel the original lunar landing project and let your company do it…”
As soon as this was said, except for those who participated in the discussion yesterday, everyone else showed a look of surprise.
This…
The key project that has been prepared for such a long time is cancelled just like that? Are you so confident in Kang Chi?
Looking at Kang Chi who was also stunned, Zhang, the chief engineer of Tianwen-2, finally felt the power of the name Kang Chi in person.
Kang Chi couldn’t help feeling a little pressure from the trust of the leaders, and at the same time guessed that they must have the idea of ’freeloading’.
In a nutshell, they actually put the hat of ‘lunar landing chief engineer’ on Kang Chi’s head.
It’s just invisible…
But in fact, this is also good. Kang Chi didn’t want to see the situation of repeated projects and waste of resources.
Kang Chi was silent for a moment before answering in a deep voice: “Although our goals overlap to a certain extent, the specific overall planning deviation is actually quite large. Manned lunar landing is not a high priority in my plan, and the time node may not be faster than yours…”
Director Ge waved his hand: “It’s okay, we won’t interfere with your plan, just follow your pace.”
While saying this, he was actually thinking about the three-bedroom and one-living room that Kang Chi mentioned…
Just now, Kang Chi used the word “may not be faster than you”, but on the other hand, it may also mean “slower but not much slower”! And before the manned lunar landing, he planned to build a base on the moon first! Who can compare with this?
