Chapter 260 Seeking Foreign Aid
"Is the news accurate? They really want to restart the manned moon landing?"

imperial capital.

Yan country space agency.

Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering Center.

In the meeting room, Wu Chuping, who was the commander-in-chief of the lunar exploration, sat in the middle seat, confirming the information below with a slightly dignified expression.

The moon is rich in resources, and it is also a key platform for human beings to enter deep space from the earth and stars.

Has far-reaching strategic significance.

And according to the relevant international regulations, whoever first establishes a base on the moon will have the priority, and even a company-like force can enclose the land.

So taking the lead in building a base on the moon has also become crucial.

Originally, according to the bureau's plan, the manned moon landing should be completed by 2030 at the latest.

And followed up with a five-year lunar base construction plan.

For this reason, a large number of launch missions are carried out every year, which can be said to have invested unimaginable resources in the aerospace industry.

At present, the Tiangong space station has basically taken shape, and has begun to accept astronauts from overseas forces to conduct scientific research together, which will lay a solid foundation for landing on the moon.

To say the biggest difficulty.

It's just that the rocket's carrying capacity is not enough.

Manned is different from launching satellites or space stations, it needs stronger thrust.

For example, sending a missile weighing dozens of tons to the moon requires the take-off weight and thrust of the first-stage rocket to be more than [-] tons, which is impossible with the current level of technology.

However, if they followed the normal plan, they would have enough time to develop a more powerful solid-state integral thrust engine.

But after Tripp returned to the throne, he first drastically restarted the moon landing plan.

This caught people off guard.

"It's almost certain." The project members sitting on both sides were obviously a little unwilling: "According to the news we got, they invested a lot in the moon landing project this time, and they have reached a cooperation with Masne's Space Exploration Technology Company. It is planned to launch in the first half of next year.”

"Why is Lao Te suddenly so interested in landing on the moon?" A project member was puzzled.

"So we have half a year left."

"They have already landed on the moon. If they are allowed to take the lead this time, our hard work over the years may become an international laughingstock."

Over the years, the country's investment in the aerospace industry is not small. If it is still not as good as overseas, there will definitely be a lot of media taking this as an opportunity to ridicule and ridicule.

The key point is that now Yanguo has surpassed overseas technology in many fields, and in any case can't stretch its hips in aerospace.

Wu Chuping listened to the discussions of the people below, and he looked preoccupied.

After a while, he knocked on the table to silence everyone.

"It's not hard to understand that Lao Te suddenly attaches great importance to landing on the moon. After all, their current international situation is not optimistic. In addition, they just signed a friendship and mutual assistance agreement with us, so they can only focus on outer space."

"I guess he wants to take this opportunity to jump out of the original circle and regain the right to speak from a new field."

As Wu Chuping's voice resounded in the conference room, everyone was also thinking about this question, nodding their heads frequently in the process.

Now that we know the current situation, the most important thing is how to deal with it.

Under the high-speed thinking, Wu Chuping quickly made a decision, and then said in a deep voice: "Lunar resources are related to the research of controllable nuclear fusion and the layout of the future into deep space. We must be in a suitable position before them. Complete the construction of the moon base."

Yes.

Wu Chuping didn't intend to give in.

This time, Lao Te chose to cooperate with Ma Sien's space exploration technology company to land on the moon and build a lunar base. At that time, he will be able to privately occupy the resource-rich area of ​​the moon.

Everyone naturally supported Wu Chuping's decision.

After all, I have worked hard for this project for so many years, and I am sure no one would want to see it being so lonely.

But at the same time, everyone also understands the difficulties faced.

"But Commander-in-Chief, in only half a year, can we complete the technological breakthrough of heavy-duty launch vehicle engines?"

"Yeah, it's so much ahead of the original plan, it's impossible to complete."

"I think it's better to be safe."

Wu Chuping listened to everyone's words in his heart, and he also understood the worries in everyone's hearts, even he was not sure.

Because this is equivalent to pressing the accelerator button for technological development, and it is still nearly ten years in advance.

If even one of the technologies is immature and eventually leads to the failure of the moon landing project, it will not only become an international laughing stock, but the result will be even more serious than it is now.

So from a certain point of view, Wu Chuping was able to make such a decision under great pressure.

However, this is also impossible.

If you want to occupy the rich resource area of ​​the moon and lay a solid foundation for entering deep space in the future, you must keep up with or even surpass the pace of overseas.

Difficulty is no less than creating a miracle.

Of course, Wu Chuping is not without any solution.

He was able to make such a decision, but he still had some plans in mind.

At this time, there is no need to continue to play tricks. Hurry up to find a solution and direction, and speed up the progress of the moon landing project is the most important thing to be done right now.

Thoughts stayed here, Wu Chuping finally expressed his thoughts after calming the conference room again.

"We still have some way to go before manned landing, and the relevant technologies involved need research breakthroughs. Therefore, if we want to build our own lunar base as soon as possible, we must seek foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

As Wu Chuping's words fell, a question mark suddenly appeared in the minds of everyone present.

The space agency gathers the top experts and professors in the country, and the lunar exploration project is the elite among the elites. Even if they can't overcome the technology in a short period of time, they can't even find foreign aid.

And everyone couldn't imagine for a while who the foreign aid Wu Chuping was talking about was.

"I'm going to invite Academician Xu Lei from Future Science and Technology to join our project. Maybe he can improve the progress of the project." Facing the doubts and incomprehension on everyone's faces, Wu Chuping said the name in a deep voice.

His thinking is not too complicated, everyone now knows that Xu Lei is a well-deserved all-round top scientist.

Regardless of whether the previous quantum computer or the recent successful attack of cancer with the help of nano-medical robots are things that many scientific researchers cannot do in their lifetime. These alone are enough to prove Xu Lei's abnormal ability.

Xu Lei hasn't spent much time developing these technical products.

This is something no one else can do.

Due to these circumstances, Wu Chuping wanted to let Xu Lei join the manned moon landing project, and borrow his hands to develop a heavy-duty rocket engine that is comparable to the international level.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the construction of the lunar base.

More importantly, Xu Lei is a person who often creates miracles.

With his joining, manned landing on the moon may also create miracles.

What's more, this is already the best solution Wu Chuping can think of.

Otherwise, we can only watch overseas take the lead in building a permanent lunar base on the moon.

And because Xu Lei's reputation is so great, everyone started talking uncontrollably after hearing the name.

"Academician Xu has created so many miracles at a young age, and the achievements he has achieved are unmatched by any of us present. If he can really participate in our project, maybe he can really make the manned moon landing project possible." Years in advance."

"As far as I know, he has never been exposed to aerospace-related technical knowledge. Can he really help us?"

"We also used their quantum computer during the development of the medium-sized launch vehicle. It may not be possible to improve efficiency again with the participation of Academician Xu."

"Compared to thinking about the result now, I am more worried about whether the other party will be willing to join."

"Although some of his academician identities are true, his job is still the president of the company. I'm afraid he won't spend a lot of time helping us with the technical research of heavy launch vehicles."

There are no more than two digits of people sitting in the entire meeting room, but there are many different opinions on this.

However, the reason why everyone is arguing with each other is that they are still worried about the manned moon landing project. After all, with Xu Lei's current status and international influence, if he does not want to join the research and development of the manned moon landing project, then he will definitely not Someone will force something.

Fortunately, since Wu Chuping mentioned Xu Lei, he still believes that this matter can be achieved.

Facing the discussion of the crowd, there was no trace of frustration on his face.

"Academician Xu once stayed at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and successfully developed a domestic top-level lithography machine. I don't think the strategic significance of the manned moon landing project belongs to the original lithography machine, so I believe the other party should not reject us. invitation."

"Let's settle this matter first. Tomorrow, I will go to Binjiang City to discuss in person."

"As for the director, I will also submit a detailed application report as soon as possible."

For the sake of speaking, everyone also understood that this was Wu Chuping's final decision, and no matter whether the final result was successful or not, they must try first.

So in this case, everyone didn't say anything more, and after the meeting ended, they all returned to their jobs to continue their technical research.

The main thing is that this matter is too important for the strategic arrangement of entering deep space in the future. Even if they have decided to invite Xu Lei to help, they will definitely not pin all their hopes on one person alone, and they must have two-handed preparations.

that's it.

When this matter was officially confirmed, Wu Chuping took people to fly directly to Binjiang City at night.

at the same time.

Xu Lei, who was still patiently waiting for his influence to break through 500 million points and successfully unlocked the new exhibit, did not know that he had been approached.

But it can be expected that Wu Chuping's trip to Binjiang City this time may not be too smooth, who knows that Xu Lei does not have much understanding of aviation technology.
