You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Many people may not want to be an astronaut because it is too hard.

It is human nature to be lazy and hate work. It cannot be changed. Those who can change it are true warriors who have liberated themselves.

But when it comes to landing on the moon, no one will be sleepy anymore.

It is also human nature to yearn for novelty and go to places you have never been to.

If you stay in one place for a long time, you will want to go out for a walk. When you are still, you will want to move around.

What's more, the place we are going to is the moon!
Although the journey to the moon is very long and difficult, the country has now opened up its policies and as long as you pass the selection, you can go for free. Naturally, many people are actively signing up.

Every young person in the aerospace field signed up.

Young people from all relevant departments besides the aerospace industry signed up enthusiastically. Even some very calm old comrades in their 40s and 50s signed up enthusiastically, saying they wanted to contribute to the country.

As to whether he wanted to make a contribution or just go to the moon himself, only the old comrade himself knows.

In society, there are also a large number of people signing up.

Although most people did not take this step for various reasons, those who took this step in their hearts and wanted to change the way they lived or experience a different journey of life have all signed up.

The aerospace department’s online registration website shows that the number of applicants has exceeded 10 million!

Although there are many unqualified people here, after removing 50%, there are still more than five million people who really want to sign up.

This number was both beyond everyone's expectations and within everyone's expectations.

"If I wasn't too old, I would go too."

After seeing this message, Director Ruan Min couldn't help but sigh, and then his face was full of regret, regretting that he was born at the wrong time.

Too many old comrades are like Ruan Min, full of regrets. Why didn’t they live a few years or more earlier? Or why couldn’t they be born a few years or more later?
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life.

There is no "if" in technology. This is determined by the laws of technological development. We would not have had the conditions a few years or even decades earlier.

Of course, the old comrades only felt regretful, and did not complain or have any other emotions. Instead, they were as excited and relieved as the young people. They were excited that our country's development had come to this point, and they were relieved that the young people today were really good, not only taking over well, but also surpassing their predecessors, and even working hard to migrate to the moon.

At this stage, sending dozens or hundreds of people to the moon is no different from immigration.

After decades or hundreds of years, when a large-scale human city is built on the moon, everything today will be the same as the "Mayflower" back then, except that the place has changed, the people have changed, and the civilization they represent has also changed.

Zhao Mo's sister and brother-in-law, as aerospace designers working in the aerospace industry, naturally also registered, and Zhao Mo also supported them.

In addition, Zhao Mo also noticed that many of his former classmates had also signed up for this selection, such as Gu Rong, Yang Jing, Li Shijie and others.

Zhao Mo didn't have any consideration. If he could be elected, he would be elected. If he couldn't be elected, he wouldn't be elected. There was nothing to consider.

Economic development, cultural development, and changes in the media have brought about major changes in many things. For example, when it comes to "helping others", people nowadays don't help others. Either they can't afford it or they can't help.

Jinling has the most say in why we can't help.

No matter what the facts are, once a word is spoken, everything becomes a foregone conclusion.

The reason why we cannot help is closely related to the reasons such as not being able to help and not being able to pay. The reason why many people cannot get up is not because no one helps them, but because the ability is there, but you cannot help them.

The concept believed in now is "respect the fate of others, let go of the desire to help others, and avoid being moved by oneself", which is actually the same as the past concept of "a little bit of kindness and a big bit of resentment".

If Zhao Mo takes care of himself and becomes an astronaut to go to the moon, it will be fine if nothing goes wrong and everyone will be happy. But if something goes wrong he will be in a very bad state.

Classmates may not say anything, but it is hard to say about their relatives and friends.

What's more, if you are not selected, it means you are really not suitable for the job. You should just do what you should do. This is called not wasting time, and your life will be better.

The selection started in June, and the registration process lasted until July, and then officially began in August.

In mid-August of the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bao Guohua and his sister Zhao Lan came to Zhao Mo's home to celebrate the festival.

The couple brought them good news and sad news.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law, I have been selected as an astronaut. Lanlan gave up because she is pregnant~"

Bao Guohua said this excitedly, scratching his ears and cheeks as he spoke. It was obvious that he was still very excited about telling them that Zhao Lan was pregnant.

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, one of you is going to be a father, the other is going to be a mother, and I am going to be an uncle too."

Yang Chan chuckled and said, "Then I am your aunt." Zhao Weiguo and Hu Ying were naturally very happy and they couldn't stop laughing. One of them was going to be a grandfather and the other was going to be a grandmother.

Although grandparents are much more important to them than grandparents, they will never care about what they have, but will always be upset about what they don’t have. They have been grandparents for many years and have long been accustomed to it. Zhao Lan has been looking forward to being grandparents since she got married, and now she has finally got her wish.

"Yes, so I won't select astronauts for the time being."

Zhao Lan said with a sweet smile.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the family is naturally more lively and cheerful than before.

At night, before going to bed, Yang Chan suddenly asked Zhao Mo a question: "Husband, how should I act as an aunt? I have never been one~"

"..."

Zhao Mo was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "I haven't been an uncle either, have I? I think you should just take better care of him in the future. What's the difference between Dabao and Xiaobao? A nephew is not bad either. Should this be okay?"

Yang Chan leaned in his arms and thought for a while, then kissed him and said, "Listen to your husband!"

……

Zhao Mo no longer paid attention to this large-scale selection of astronauts. He started astronaut training again.

I haven't participated in it for a few years, so I'm a little rusty. Before flying into space again, I still have to train to allow my body to form muscle memory and reduce the risk of accidents.

However, Zhao Mo cannot and does not need to train as frequently as other veteran astronauts such as Liu Yang. He still has a lot of research work on hand, so he does not have enough time.

In addition, his physical fitness has been maintained, so the training experts at the aerospace industry believe that he may be a special case.

In addition to research on sky survey telescopes, colliders, dark matter... etc., Zhao Mo has now been invited to join in the development of the latest generation of "spacecraft".

A space shuttle is not a spaceship, nor a space shuttle. It is a combination of a spaceship and a space shuttle. It is an ultra-large spaceship that takes off from the ground and goes straight into space, and then can travel within the solar system!
There is no doubt that the development of spacecraft is extremely difficult. Any country in the world outside of my country, even America, would not even dare to think about it, let alone complete it.

You know, that's something like the space shuttle. America herself doesn't use it much now because the failure rate is too high. It either explodes or is on the way for repairs and cannot be used.

The explosion of the Columbia space shuttle is a painful lesson.

The reason why the development of space shuttles is so difficult is mainly because the environment within the atmosphere is completely different from that in outer space. There are numerous problems. To solve those difficulties, not only super-performance body materials are needed, but also super-performance engines that can adapt to the atmosphere and outer space.

But is solving these two problems enough?

Do not!
There are a lot more!

The space shuttle goes a step further than the space shuttle and needs to fly to the moon. In terms of design goals, we aim at free navigation throughout the solar system, which is even more difficult.

Materials, engines, protection, control... and so on, a series of difficulties and challenges need to be solved and overcome.

Therefore, this work has been going on since the completion of controlled nuclear fusion, and the final construction plan has not yet been finalized. The current work is to continuously conduct various experiments.

Fortunately, the artificial intelligence problem has been solved, and the expert group unanimously determined that the spacecraft should be unmanned during the comprehensive evaluation, so the control problem is not a problem. Otherwise, the difficulty will only increase.

It was also because it had been almost four years since the case was finalized and the higher-ups couldn't wait any longer. In addition, the dark matter research was already on the right track, so they finally couldn't help but invite him over.

The first task is to help solve the problem of miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion engines!

Zhao Mo had no objection to this, and immediately started researching after receiving the invitation.

Naturally, with his joining, he became the leader in the engine research team on his first day. Even though he was unwilling to take this position, everyone in the research team strongly urged him to take it.

It's mid-November~
On this day, a report from Jinping's underground laboratory made Zhao Mo temporarily leave the "spacecraft" research team and hurried to Jinping.

After Professor Wang Yuan discovered dark matter and learned about the research on dark matter, he followed some of his ideas and experimentally verified a very remarkable result.

Zhao Mo must go to the scene to check and confirm.

If confirmed to be true, it will be an extremely significant achievement, comparable to the "dark matter engine"!
The next morning, Zhao Mo arrived at the Jinping underground laboratory, and then, under the guidance of Wang Yuan, came to a strangely shaped device designed by the team.

How weird is it?

It looks like a hexahedron but is full of curvature, formed by the bending of different manifolds.

But Zhao Mo didn't find it strange. This thing was very similar to the device in the dimensional treasure box in his system, but it was a more complicated version.

Wang Yuan pointed at the device and said excitedly: "Academician Zhao, we have tried it. Once it is powered on, it can generate twice the gravity..." (End of this chapter)
