Chapter 534 Golden Rabbit No. 1
It seems very simple to verify whether this result is accurate.
You just need to follow this ratio to complete the preparation of the steel.
But in reality, this task is not so easy to do.
Because the number of new irons is very limited, more new irons are needed to complete such a combination.
Otherwise, it is difficult to control the amount of various added elements very accurately.
Not to mention, the preparation of steel is not like seasoning, where you just need to add raw materials in corresponding proportions.
Instead, it requires multiple processing and forging processes to make the final steel.
"Xu You, is the new type of iron that we can use in our current experiments sufficient to complete such a test?" Xu Zhou asked.
"It's hard to say. The amount of new iron we have available is actually very limited. I'm not sure if we can complete the forging experiment with such a small amount of iron."
Xu You does not have much knowledge of metallurgy, forming and other technologies.
Xu You knew that in order to carry out these processing processes well, it would be better to have enough raw materials.
After some discussion, both of them felt that the remaining work still required more help from experts in the industry.
"Then let's hand these tasks over to metallurgy and molding experts. If the amount is only a few dozen grams, it's really a bit like a skilled cook without rice. The next general direction is to build a mining and smelting base on the moon."
"Yes, I also think that only when there is enough raw material can the actual test be completed more accurately. In any case, I think your prediction should be correct, and this ratio is also very reasonable in theory."
In the following period of time, Xu You contacted some experts in the metallurgy, forming and other industries and joined the project team.
China is indeed very strong in these industries. Several new experts put forward many very valuable suggestions and even successfully used the existing new type of iron to process it into the alloy with the proportion calculated by Xu You.
After actual testing, the new type of iron after becoming an alloy does have better properties.
"Professor Xu, if we have more abundant raw materials, the properties of the alloys we make should be even better. According to the data we obtained from our tests, if this new type of steel can be used on our aircraft carriers, even nuclear warheads will find it difficult to cause serious damage to them."
This result can be said to be completely consistent with Xu You's prediction.
After some discussion, everyone decided to give this new type of iron a name that suits its characteristics.
Diamond iron.
The structure and properties of this iron are somewhat similar to those of diamond, and it even exceeds diamond in hardness and compressive resistance.
Diamond is believed to be a metal material with great application value in the future, but its traces have only been found on the moon.
It is still unknown whether this metal mineral exists on Earth.
As research on diamond iron progresses, the manufacturing and testing of the new lunar rover has entered the later stages.
The new lunar rover performed well in the test and basically met Xu You's expectations.
After everyone's naming and voting, this new lunar rover was named Golden Rabbit No. 1.
Compared with the Yutu series, the Jintu-1 is much larger in size and will travel a greater distance on the moon.
After confirming the performance of Golden Rabbit-1, Xu You and other leaders of the Academy of Space Technology discussed the next lunar landing mission.
"For the next lunar exploration mission, I suggest adopting an unmanned exploration method. With our current carrying capacity, we can send four Golden Rabbit No. 1 lunar rovers to the moon at a time. Compared with human astronauts, lunar rovers can perform longer missions on the moon and can also explore many places that are inconvenient for humans to go to," said Xu You.
Although the previous Yutu series lunar rover has already landed on the back of the moon.
However, due to the limited speed of the Yutu series of lunar rovers, they are unable to explore too many areas.
The Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rover not only inherits the Yutu series' powerful detection capabilities, but also has a driving speed comparable to the Apollo project's lunar rover.
In addition, the Golden Rabbit-1 is also equipped with a driver's seat. When a manned lunar mission is carried out again in the future, astronauts can directly drive the Golden Rabbit-1 to carry out missions on the moon.
"I agree with Professor Xu's point of view. Through the last manned lunar mission of Starry Sky 1, we can conclude that the work that astronauts can accomplish on the moon is relatively limited. Letting the lunar rover complete basic exploration tasks first is indeed the most ideal solution at present."
Due to various life needs of human beings, it is not convenient to perform missions on the moon for a long time.
There is no food and oxygen needed for human survival on the moon. If astronauts only rely on the resources carried by the spacecraft, they can only sustain their lives on the moon for a few months at most.
Not to mention, there are various visible or invisible risks, which require astronauts to be prepared to face danger at any time.
However, carrying out unmanned lunar exploration missions does not require preparing all kinds of resources needed by humans.
This will allow the spacecraft to carry more lunar rovers with maximum capacity to carry out lunar exploration missions.
In the end, Xu You's plan received unanimous support from everyone.
As the project schedule was determined, this new rocket launch mission was officially announced to the public.
Upon hearing the news, the whole country was once again in an uproar.
"In just less than a year, the Zhengtu-9 rocket will carry out its third mission. The Zhengtu-9 is the most powerful heavy-lift launch vehicle in human history. In terms of this technology, we are already at the top of the world."
"I didn't expect that this time we would be carrying out an unmanned lunar mission. It's a pity that we won't be able to see our astronauts standing on the moon again, but since the Academy of Space Technology made this decision, they must have their reasons. I am looking forward to the performance of the Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rover."
"Launching four lunar rovers at once, and of such a large size, is this the first time in human history? In comparison, the performance of SAM Space Agency is really too bad. If it weren't for this announcement, I would have almost forgotten that SAM Space Agency is still planning to land on the moon. I don't know if the failure of the space launch system has been resolved now."
After seeing this news, SAM Space Agency also felt under great pressure.
"Zhengtu-9 is about to have its third launch. It's time for Xu You to give us the spare parts."
