Chapter 527 This is the best solution
In addition to charging during normal driving, the new lunar rover has another fast charging mode.
The disadvantage of this charging mode is that you cannot continue driving while charging and must stay still.
However, because the surface area of the solar panels is very large when unfolded, the new lunar rover can be charged in the shortest time possible.
This fast charging mode is suitable for use in sunny conditions.
As for the materials of the solar panels, Xu You used the flexible electronic material technology that he had previously developed.
It can be said that many of the technologies in the new lunar rover were not developed overnight, but were the result of Xu You’s accumulation over the past few years.
"I never thought that the solar panels for the lunar rover could be designed in this way. It was totally unexpected."
After hearing this, all the aerospace experts at the conference were full of admiration for Xu You's design.
Everyone listened to Xu You's explanation more attentively, looking forward to the display of more new features.
"Next, we need to design a way to prevent the rover from rolling over. We have adopted the design concept of a tumbler to concentrate the center of gravity of the new rover at the bottom of the vehicle. Even if the new rover rolls over unexpectedly, it can immediately restore its balance and continue to complete its mission."
Xu You kept talking about dozens of breakthroughs in the design of the new lunar rover, and everyone could only admire him.
"With our existing rocket carrying capacity, it is not difficult to send multiple new lunar rovers to the moon at once. In some unknown areas, using lunar rovers for exploration is a more suitable way than astronauts exploring in person. If there are no problems, I suggest starting the processing and testing of this new lunar rover as soon as possible , and it would be best if we could send this new lunar rover to the moon during the next launch of the Zhengtu-9."
After analyzing some confidential information from the Apollo project, Xu You became more and more aware of the strategic significance of the moon.
Xu You knew that he had to do the best job on the moon before Sam regained the ability to land humans on the moon.
After some discussion, everyone agreed that Xu You's design for the new lunar rover was the best among the existing lunar rovers.
Soon, Xu You's proposal was submitted and the application was approved.
The processing of lunar rover parts will still take some time, so Xu You decided to take advantage of this period of time to conduct research on another project.
Previously, researchers had only conducted preliminary studies on the metal minerals brought back from the moon and had not conducted particularly in-depth analysis.
And now, Xu You has confirmed that the iron in these metal minerals is a very special type of iron.
If this iron could be utilized, the benefits it would have would be immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to ask Lin Shi to come and study together.
In addition to condensed matter physics, Lin Shi has also made good achievements in materials science.
Asking Lin Shi to come over would not only allow her to help him with scientific research, but also satisfy Lin Shi's desire to get involved in aerospace projects.
Thinking of this, Xu You applied to his superiors, wanting to recruit Lin Shi to join in the research of the project.
The higher-ups have always paid close attention to Lin Shi, knowing that Lin Shi is one of the most capable young scientists in China besides Xu You.
Xu You's application was successfully approved.
Xu You also immediately told Lin Shi the news over the phone.
"Hello, who are you?"
"It's me, Lin Shi."
"Teacher? What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
Before this, Xu You rarely called Lin Shi when he was working on projects outside.
"Have you been busy with work in the lab lately?"
"Well, it's still the same as before. Apart from teaching tasks, I basically spend all my time in the laboratory. Also, I need to accompany my teacher's wife at night. You are working on a project outside, and you can't leave my teacher's wife alone at home."
After hearing Lin Shi's words, Xu You couldn't help but miss Lu Zhiyao a little.
"Is Teacher Cui here tonight?"
"Yes, Teacher Cui is here too. Anyway, Teacher Cui and I are both single, so it's okay for us to live together with Teacher's wife for a while. Anyway, our houses will be in the staff quarters of Jijing University, so it's very convenient to go back and forth."
Upon learning that Cui Ying was with Lu Zhiyao, Xu You finally felt relieved.
"Lin Shi, if you don't have any other urgent work, come and carry out the mission with me during this period of time."
Hearing Xu You's words, Lin Shi suddenly became excited.
"Really? Can I go on missions with the teacher again? To be honest, I'm quite busy these days, but it won't be a big deal if I delay these things a little bit."
Compared with the missions she was carrying out with Xu You, the projects Lin Shi was currently working on seemed less important.
Because Lin Shi believed that the mission that Xu You could participate in would definitely not be an ordinary mission.
The next day, Xu You sent someone to pick up Lin Shi from Jijing University.
Lin Shi seemed very excited to see Xu You, and it was difficult for her to calm down for a while.
"Teacher, can you tell me what mission we are carrying out this time?"
Seeing Lin Shi's anxious look, Xu You smiled softly:
"You've always said that you wanted to participate in the research of space projects. This time we'll fulfill your wish. What we're going to do now is to study the metal minerals we brought back from the moon last time."
Hearing Xu You's words, Lin Shi became even more excited.
"Teacher! You are really my dear teacher! I, I..."
Lin Shi didn't know how to thank Xu You for a moment, but she deliberately suppressed her emotions, fearing that she would say something too outrageous.
After the excitement, Lin Shi tried hard to calm herself down.
Being able to participate in this mission, Lin Shi must cherish this precious opportunity.
If I don’t perform well enough, it may be difficult to get such a good opportunity again.
After all, Lin Shi also has very big goals and wants to make his own contributions in more scientific research fields.
After briefly introducing the situation to Lin Shi , Xu You gathered everyone together and made work arrangements.
"According to the information from Sam's Space Agency, there is a special kind of iron in these metal minerals. The structure of this iron is very special. It is not an ordinary atomic structure, nor is it any atomic cluster structure I have worked on before. It is another allotropic form."
"It is certain that if this iron can be used, it will have very good application prospects. But at the same time, it is not easy to separate this iron from minerals."
