Lei Tiantang's words made the people around him laugh, because it was reasonable to think about it, because taking the quotation of Falcon heavy recyclable rocket that they all know, the lowest quotation of 8-ton payload is more than 90 million US dollars to launch once, so the 5 billion US dollars is not enough. After all, its recoverable launch mode carrying capacity is too small 。
"The best part of our design, boss, have you noticed it?" Zhang hanxiu asked again.
"Is that the detector at the front of the assembly? I just see that there is such a different detector in front of each combination. " Lei Tiantang magnified the detector on the top of the projection of the combination.
"Ha! It seems that you have noticed that, boss! Yes, whether it's the two-wheel combination test plan we plan to launch or the planetary probe program to be launched later, there is a specially designed detector in front of their combination!
This detector is not simple. It is the first generation of deep space probe designed by us in real sense. Its mission is to follow the remaining parts of the combination of other satellite detectors, namely, solar sail and ion engine, to fly outside the solar system to really explore the universe outside the solar system!
If the mission goes well, we can't waste the remaining solar sails and ion engines of the combination. After all, they have accelerated to a flying speed of more than 200 kilometers per second, and the speed will be faster and faster. It's a pity that such a high speed is wasted!
So we put an extrasolar probe named "light of hope" at the front end of the solar system to give us a field exploration of what the outer solar space looks like!
Such exploration is very important for our future space program, because so far, we humans can only use various telescopes to observe what the outer space is like. We really don't know much about the actual state.
And this kind of unknown will also bring trouble to our company's future design of real spaceships. After all, what is the deep space like? We still need to have real detection data to support it, otherwise it will be troublesome if there are omissions in the design! "
Lei Tiantang agrees with this practice very much. Although he has put a lot of detectors into the universe through his connection with the small black hole, he has mastered a lot of Secrets of space from the various exploration data collected from there every day, but these data can only be used by himself.
We can't give such data to deep space lab for reference? How to explain the origin of these data? Should we say that these data are all conjectures? That's bullshit, so the company makes its own exploration preparation. He also thinks that there is no problem.
Moreover, he also wants to know whether there is any difference between the cosmic environment outside the solar system and that of the small black hole. After all, the universe is in a different position. This side of the solar system is really a barren corner.
As we all know, the sun is the nearest star to our earth. Our solar system is one of the hundreds of millions of stars in the Milky way, which is about 26000 light-years away from the center of the galaxy. We are actually in the "suburb" of the galaxy. The nearest star to the sun is a neighbor star, with a distance of 4.2 light years.
If you look at the star map around the solar system, you can know that the solar system is really empty, and the limited number of stars are red dwarfs formed for a long time.
The location of the black hole itself is different. There is a huge nebula. New star formation and supernova explosion are common things. The cosmic environment of such a place must be different from that around the solar system.
So even if he handed over the data he had detected to the company, the data source laboratory would not ask about it. The company could not use these data in a short time. It is not true that there is any extraterrestrial black technology. Lei Tiantang can't expect the company's second generation spaceship to fly at super light speed or jump in space.
It's very good that the second generation spaceship can go to the neighboring solar system and explore the galaxies around it. It's impossible to think about it.
"I still approve of your design, but according to your calculation, it doesn't mean that we will launch three probes that can fly out of the solar system before and after? Is that a little less? " Lei Tiantang asked curiously.
"That's not the case, boss. In the final analysis, these three combined launches can be said to test whether such designs are feasible. If all the launches of these combinations are successful, we will launch more combinations later.
The number of 120 planetary probes outside the earth is almost enough, but the number of 60 probes in the asteroid belt is really too few. We must launch more asteroid belt probes to explore here in detail. After all, the resources here are too rich!
Therefore, we must continue to launch such a combination. The reason why we do not manufacture and launch these detectors and the extrasolar detectors at the top of the assembly at one time is mainly from the technical point of view.Our company's technology will make certain breakthroughs every time, and these technological breakthroughs may make the launch speed behind us faster, the detector's performance will be better, and the wood cutting workers will not be mistaken for sharpening the knife. There are working data and detected data provided by these detectors in front of us to support the launch task of the detector behind. This is a better choice! " Zhang hanxiu explained with a smile.
"Indeed, the exploration mission of the asteroid belt is a very important part of our space program. Its importance is still landing on Mars and landing on the moon. After all, even if we can complete the landing plans of these two planets in a short time, there is not much we can do.
At the most, it is to carry out some exploration work and pre colonial verification experiments and other operations. If you want to exploit and utilize the resources of these two planets, it will be at least 10 years and 20 years.
The exploitation of asteroid belt resources is relatively simple. With our plan, it is still possible to push some asteroids with appropriate quality and resources to get out of the asteroid belt orbit. Even if these asteroids are pushed to the orbit near Mars for safety reasons, they can also bring us huge benefits! " Lei Tiantang also nodded to agree with him.
