Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After that, Qiao Ruida hugged his girlfriend and fell asleep. Today, Qiao Ruida accepted an interview, participated in the launch of a star rocket, and drank to celebrate. He drove the Mark Armor all the way back to the courtyard. He was nervous and relaxed, with ups and downs. His mental fatigue had accumulated to a considerable extent. Now he was completely relaxed and slept very sweetly. Du Qingqing looked at her man's peaceful sleeping posture, adjusted a comfortable posture, leaned in Qiao Ruida's arms, and fell asleep as well.

The next morning, before daybreak, Qiao Ruida got up early, without even having breakfast, and put on the Mark armor and flew back to Ruida Space City. Du Qingqing stood in front of the second-floor window, watching Qiao Ruida's figure disappear at the end of the sky, and then turned back to bed to take a nap. It is said that beauty comes from sleep. If you want to maintain good skin condition, maintaining adequate sleep is a must.

Two days later, the Pioneer lunar spacecraft successfully arrived near the moon, and after another two hours of deceleration and orbit change, it successfully entered the lunar orbit. After flying around the moon twice, Pioneer slowed down again according to the pre-planned spatial position and landed in the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon.

The landing of the Pathfinder on the moon was also live-streamed on the Kuaipai platform, with even more viewers than the last launch, including many foreign netizens, as can be seen from the English comments and comments that popped up from time to time in the live broadcast room.

"This is the second time that Ruida Aerospace has launched a lunar probe. It is worthy of being the first private aerospace company in China. Its technical strength is no worse than that of the official team."

"Why is the shape of this lunar exploration spacecraft so strange today, and it has wings. As far as I know, there is no air on the moon, so what purpose can these wings serve?"

"It is said that this new lunar exploration spacecraft is based on the aerospace plane developed by their company. This wing is likely inherited from the aerospace plane, but its function is still unclear."

"I remember that the first lunar exploration spacecraft of Reda Aerospace is still working on the moon. I don't know if there are any new discoveries."

"This gravitational anomaly at the South Pole of the Moon was discovered by the first lunar spacecraft. I am very curious about what is buried under this eternally dark Antarctic permafrost that can affect the gravity distribution of the Moon."

"Look, the Pathfinder has entered the dark area at the south pole of the moon. It's pitch black and you can't see anything clearly. How should we proceed with the live broadcast so that everyone won't be left staring at a black screen?"

"It's just that there's no sunlight. The lunar exploration spacecraft can turn on the lighting, or start the detection radar and synthetic aperture radar to scan the lunar environment."

"We actually started a radar scan. The terrain looks a bit strange. It's full of meteorite impact craters. And what is that obvious flat area? Is it ice, a man-made building, or a large flat rock?"

"All of the above are possible. Without the specific radar scan data, there is no way to analyze it."

At this time, in the lunar landing control hall, a group of researchers and staff were also stunned by the huge horizontal plane simulated by the computer on the big screen.

"Oh my god, what is this flat surface? Judging from the simulated imaging area, it must be at least several thousand square meters. Why didn't we find it when the orbiter scanned and mapped the lunar surface last time?"

"Looking at the echo information, this plane should be a mixture of water ice and methane ice. As for why it was not discovered during the last scan, it's very simple. The last time the orbiter flew at a too high altitude and at an angle, the radar waves were blocked by the surrounding craters."

"If this large area is all water ice and the depth is sufficient, then our water problem on the moon will be completely solved."

"We also need to take samples to analyze the water ice content and whether there is any radiation contamination to determine whether the water ice is usable."

"So where should our pioneer choose as the landing point on the moon? Near that piece of water ice?"

"I don't know who named this area, it's very descriptive. The Aitken Basin is indeed like a basin in structure. But the bottom of the basin is not flat at all, it's full of craters. Most areas are not suitable for landing on the moon, but the water ice surface is flat and large enough, which is very suitable for the landing of the Pioneer. Anyway, the temperature on the lunar surface here in the South Pole is low enough, so we might as well land on the water ice surface."

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think about this question? Where is the best place for our Pioneer lunar exploration spacecraft to land?"

The final decision was made by Qiao Ruida. He smiled calmly and said, "Everyone here is an expert in the field of aerospace. Since you have analyzed which piece of water ice is the best place to land on the moon, then just do it. I know no more about the things on the moon than you do, so there is no need to ask for my opinion. Besides, our Pioneer still has a lot of fuel left. If the first landing point is not suitable, we can take off again and look for the next landing site on the moon."

"Okay, since Mr. Qiao has said so, let's be bold and set the landing target of Pioneer on this piece of water ice." As a dimensional puppet, Candice, chief engineer of Reda Aerospace, has a strong execution ability. He immediately issued an order and determined the landing site on the moon. Naturally, a young researcher typed on the computer and reset the landing site on the moon, which was uploaded to Pioneer's intelligent control system through a remote wireless communication link.

The next moment, Pioneer officially started the moon landing program. The tail engine was shut down, and the three anti-gravity engines located on the belly and two wings were turned on to slow down Pioneer and adjust its flight direction, slowly descending towards the huge crater where the water ice was located.

Since the gravity on the moon's surface is only one-sixth of that on the earth, the landing of the Pioneer was very slow, like a slow motion. It took half an hour for the Pioneer to successfully land on the moon. Since the Pioneer used an anti-gravity engine, the tail flame ejected had a certain temperature, but it was not too high, and it would not melt the ultra-low temperature water ice. It was just that the gravity of the Pioneer was a little excessive, and when it landed, there was a certain downward pressure, which caused the partial collapse and cracking of the ice surface. This situation happened suddenly and really scared everyone. Fortunately, the collapsed area was not too large, only one landing gear sank below the ice surface, and the fuselage tilted slightly, which did not have a big impact. A group of researchers breathed a sigh of relief. "Huahuahua, huahuahua" Pioneer successfully landed on the moon, and warm applause rang out immediately. Including Qiao Ruida, all the researchers and staff present stood up and gave warm applause to celebrate this stage victory.

At the same time, the official live broadcast room of Ruida Aerospace was also in an uproar. More than 20 million netizens from all over the world, both at home and abroad, witnessed the landing of the Pathfinder on the moon with their own eyes, and sent their blessings and gifts of various sizes to congratulate Ruida Aerospace.

"Congratulations! Ruida Aerospace has achieved another success in lunar exploration, achieving a soft landing in the lunar south pole!"

"The people of Shanghai sent a congratulatory message, saying that Ruida Aerospace is great and has really brought honor to the descendants of Yan and Huang."

"The people of Meng Province sent a congratulatory message. The Pioneer successfully landed on the moon. Congratulations!"

"I'm a junior from Peking University and I want to send you my best wishes. I'd also like to ask you, Senior Qiao, is your company still short of people? I'm going to graduate from university next year and will apply for a job at Ruida Group then."

"Did you notice that the area where Pioneer landed seems to be an ice surface?"

"Based on the reflection of the searchlight on the ground, it seems that there is indeed ice here. I just don't know whether it is water ice, nitrogen ice or ice formed by other gas components."

"If it is a water ice surface, doesn't that mean there is really water on the moon? That's really good news."

"There is water on the moon. This may be the biggest aerospace discovery in 2015."

"Solving the water problem will bring us one step closer to large-scale human migration to the moon."

"I am very curious. In the permanent darkness of the South Pole of the Moon, the temperature is at least minus 200 degrees Celsius. At such a low temperature, water must exist in the form of ice. How did this huge horizontal surface form?"

"This is not difficult. The water on the moon was probably formed by comets or comet fragments hitting the moon. At the beginning of the impact, a large amount of heat must have been released, melting the water ice and forming the water surface. Then, over time, the water surface cooled rapidly, forming the huge water ice plane we see today."

No matter how the outside world discusses and discusses, the lunar exploration activities of Ruida Aerospace are still proceeding in an orderly manner. The rear door of the Pioneer slowly opened, and one end fell on the ice surface, forming a slope to facilitate the entry and exit of subsequent vehicles and robots. Then a small lunar rover and a four-legged robot dog walked out of the cabin one after another, walked along the slope, and walked onto the smooth lunar surface. Then, a strange vehicle that looked like a huge silkworm pupa slowly drove out of the cabin and drove down the slope. This is the drilling vehicle specially prepared by Qiao Ruida. Its front end is a rotating mechanism made of special metals, which can break the hardest rocks and drill deep underground for scientific research. The very light lunar rover and the four-legged robot dog are all prepared for lunar exploration. They are equipped with flashlights, cameras, gravity detectors, magnetic field detectors, spectrometers, sampling robotic arms, and other scientific payloads, which can conduct a full-scale exploration of the South Pole of the Moon.

After the three self-moving payloads were unloaded, the Pioneer was like a Transformer. Part of the wings, cabin, and metal shell flipped outward, revealing the long-range and short-range directional antennas, robotic arms, small 3D printers, seismic wave communicators, and other payloads installed inside, forming a lunar exploration base. As the Pioneer was deployed, new communication antennas and high-power communication modules were put into use, and the communication bandwidth between the Pioneer and the Ruida Space City increased by more than a hundred times. The communication link between the lunar rover, the lunar robot dog, the earth drilling probe and the Pioneer was successfully established. The three movable probes began to move according to the planned route to move and explore the lunar surface. Various probes and sensors were all put into operation. After the massive data was analyzed and sorted by the Pioneer's onboard computer, it was transmitted back to the Ruida Space City through the lunar-earth data link system. All researchers were busy unpacking and analyzing the data.

The first data sent back was the sampling and analysis data of the water ice surface where the Pioneer was located.
"The water molecule content is 73%, the methane content is 22%, and the other silicon dioxide and various silicate minerals are 5%. This is only the sampling data of the surface of the water ice, which contains a large amount of lunar soil and lunar dust impurities. Deep sampling is in progress. The temperature here is too low, the water ice is very hard, and the drilling speed is a bit slow."

"That's good. Not only has the fresh water problem been solved, but the fuel problem has also been solved. Methane is a good thing. As long as it is successfully separated, it can be used as fuel for mechanical equipment and launch vehicles."

"The speed of this drilling probe on the moon is too slow, slower than a snail. According to the current speed, it will take at least 24 hours for it to leave the water ice range. Mr. Qiao, is it waterproof? Can it break the ice? If so, start drilling on the spot on the ice surface, which can save a lot of time?" A researcher in charge of operating the drilling probe asked Qiao Ruida.

The earth-drilling probe was copied by Qiao Ruida using the gold finger, and then he and Jarvis worked together to modernize it. The specific performance and functional information of this device are only known by Qiao Ruida and Jarvis. What was handed over to the aerospace researchers of Ruida was only the general function and appearance of the earth-drilling probe, as well as the weight data, which was used to reserve space on the spacecraft and develop fixed locks. Now the operators want to start drilling work in the water ice range, but they are worried that the equipment will leak water, so they can only ask Qiao Ruida for his opinion.

"Equipment that can drill into the ground naturally has waterproof functions, and the waterproof depth on Earth reaches 1000 meters. The temperature on the surface of the moon is so low that the entire water ice must be frozen solid from the inside out. Whether the probe is waterproof or not will not have any impact." Qiao Ruida answered casually.

"Well, I'm just worried that during the drilling process, the drill bit and the water ice will quickly rub against each other to generate heat, melt the water ice, and cause water to enter the equipment and be damaged. Since Mr. Qiao said that the equipment is waterproof, I feel relieved and will start drilling right away."

In the live broadcast from the perspective of the Pioneer, the lunar rover and the lunar robot dog left at full speed. The largest earth drilling probe moved slowly for a distance at the speed of a turtle, and then the mechanical gears turned, the tip of the head approached the surface of the water ice, and the motor started to work, driving the drill to start rotating rapidly. A large amount of white ice chips flew all over the sky, and even a stream of white water vapor emerged above the working surface. When it encountered the low temperature, it quickly condensed into tiny ice crystals and fell back to the moon again. (End of this chapter)
