In fact, Jiang Yanhai's decision will be carried out with the final exploration results. In the third month after Jiang Yanhai entered the primary Stargate of Daqin research, the first repeatable lunar module was built, and a total of three astronauts will go to the moon of the world.
In fact, everyone did not expect that the first domestic lunar landing was not on the moon of their own world, but on the moon of Daqin world.
Their current area is located in the Skyfire satellite launch center about 150 kilometers away from the gate. It is named Skyfire because a long Canyon nearby is called Skyfire in the world.
The canyon should be formed by meteorite falling tens of millions of years ago.
In the Skyfire satellite launch center, the Long March 20 large thrust launch vehicle is carrying out this flight and launch mission. It is the largest thrust and carrying capacity in the long march series.
However, the long march series is not ready to continue to develop. As for why, just look at the whole Skyfire satellite launch center. The construction here is different from all traditional satellite launch centers in China.
The construction here is more like a large airport.
And the runway and the huge landing area here are extremely huge, which is to prepare for the first domestic space shuttle in the future. Its longest runway is 10 kilometers long, and unlike other space shuttles, it doesn't need any other aircraft to take off. It can taxi and take off directly by itself.
Moreover, it is also the first nuclear powered space shuttle in China. It adopts new special materials and completely solves the problems of nuclear radiation.
Its nuclear reactor and auxiliary thrust chemical dyes can make it fly around the moon and then come back on its own.
Of course, it is necessary to turn off the engine and fly by inertia.
However, it is still the most advanced aircraft in human history. Of course, because of this, its volume is also huge.
It is larger than the largest and latest transport aircraft in China. In order to be strong, its wings do not use the wings of traditional civil aviation aircraft, but use the tail delta wings similar to fighter planes. The whole fuselage is like a huge triangle.
In addition to the most advanced wing body integration technology and materials, such a body structure is extremely solid and can withstand part of the maneuver overload at speeds up to Mach 10. Of course, this does not mean that it can maneuver at such a high speed, but to avoid problems such as engine problems, causing its body to move and break.
Its fuselage structure can be said to be the strongest in human history.
However, because of nuclear power, its loading capacity is not too large. At least it can not be compared with the current Long March 20 launch vehicle, but it can be reused, and fuel and nuclear power make its cost much lower.
The Long March 20 carrier rocket is a one-time one, so there is a huge gap between the two.
However, the space shuttle still needs to be tested several times, although its body structure has been simulated in the Pangu system. I don't know how many times.
The space shuttle has been officially named the crane. The biggest difference between it and foreign space shuttles is that it can take off and perform tasks at any time like a civil aviation aircraft, and can return with its own power at any time.
However, it is not available for the time being, so the first mission is carried out by the Long March 20 launch vehicle.
In fact, the Long March 20 was developed to explore Mars. The satellite itself has a certain flying ability. It will not be completely separated from the landing module when it leaves the earth's atmosphere. Its three-stage rocket will always carry the landing module to lunar orbit.
Then release the landing module to carry the astronauts to the lunar surface, then collect relevant lunar soil and other resources on the lunar surface and return to the landing module, then the landing module takes off, and then connects with the rocket on the orbit. Finally, the rocket drives the landing module back to earth orbit.
Until the earth orbit, the rocket in this last section will completely lose its function, and the landing module is the only one that finally returns to the ground.
However, although they are also landing modules, the volume and materials that can be carried by this landing module are much larger.
Although this time only 3 astronauts, the entire landing module can carry the moon mineral with a mass of nearly 10 tons, and so it is known that its volume and its advanced nature.
And it can also ensure the safety of astronauts to the greatest extent.
The implementation of the lunar plan was very fast. On the day of the launch of the rocket and satellite, Jiang Yanhai and they all rushed to the launch site. In fact, there was nothing to say about the launch process. The whole launch was very smooth.
And different from the previous lunar landing plans, the previous lunar landing plans were to enter the earth orbit first, and then fly around the earth orbit for more than ten hours to find the most appropriate angle before flying to the moon.
The difference this time is that because the current technological progress is too great and the fuel on the rocket is extremely sufficient, the rocket will go straight to the moon after leaving the earth, eliminating other ways, and the speed of the aircraft will be much faster than before in the process of flying to the moon.
According to the current overall plan, the rocket can arrive in about 50 hours from launch to entering the lunar orbit.
So the overall plan can be completed in about 7 days.
In other words, seven days later, they will probably know whether the world's moon has helium 3.
However, Jiang Yanhai believes that there is at least an 80-90% probability, because the environment of the moon is very similar to that of the earth.
The seven days passed in a flash. The landing module returned to the ground smoothly. Jiang Yanhai and his colleagues did not participate in the cooperation. Professionals were engaged in the analysis of minerals.
The good news came quickly. Jiang Yanhai received the latest news on the day when the landing module returned. There was helium 3 on the moon in the world! And not only, it seems that the reserves are more than those on the other side of the earth!
And not only helium 3, there are many extremely rare precious minerals on the moon. You know, there are some minerals not on the earth, and the number of Daqin is also extremely rare, but these minerals are very abundant on the moon of Daqin!
After analyzing these data, Jiang Yanhai and them immediately made a decision.
Everything should be carried out according to the latest technical data. When they knew the results, Jiang Yanhai and his team immediately decided to directly build the second generation controllable nuclear fusion reactor.
