Chapter 536 Do you have a feeling?
People who are familiar with the aerospace field know that a major feature of a planetary rover is that it travels extremely slowly.
The speed of several rovers we are using now is only about 200 meters per hour.
This speed can be described as "turtle speed".
Of course, simply wanting the planetary car to have a faster speed is not impossible to achieve.
As early as the last century, the speed of SAM's lunar rover reached as much as fifteen to twenty kilometers per hour.
However, such a lunar rover has no other function except carrying people.
This is of no help at all for the exploration of the moon.
Therefore, such lunar rovers have long been eliminated by the times.
The rovers we use now are relatively small, unmanned rovers.
Due to size limitations and considerations for maintaining stability, the rover's running speed is set to be relatively slow.
Its main task is to detect various data about the planet.
The emergence of Golden Rabbit No. 1 broke this industry rule.
"Let me first explain to you why our previous rovers were all relatively slow. This is because our previous rovers had many different detection devices on them. For example, meteorological observation instruments, planetary surface magnetic field detectors, planetary surface composition detectors, terrain and navigation cameras, multispectral cameras, subsurface radars, and so on."
As the host spoke, an introduction to the various functions of the rover appeared on the screen.
"With so many different detection devices, the planetary rover cannot generally run at high speeds. It can be said that these planetary rovers are a mobile experimental base. The ability to move is just an additional function. In its entire career, it can move more than a thousand meters, which is already a lot."
At this time, the host changed the subject.
"But the Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rover has a completely different design concept . It is not satisfied with exploring a small area on the moon, but will try to travel to most areas of the moon, especially those that we have not been able to explore before. While ensuring high-speed operation, the Golden Rabbit-1 also has extremely strong detection capabilities."
The host gave a relatively popular explanation in the live broadcast room based on some of the publicly available information about the Golden Rabbit-1 obtained from the astronauts.
The audience in front of the screen, no matter how much they know about aerospace knowledge, can basically understand what the host is explaining.
In the simultaneous online live broadcast room, the audience praised Golden Rabbit No. 1.
"I roughly understand. There are two main types of lunar rovers before. One is like the Apollo project, which can be used by astronauts for transportation. Although it travels fast, it has no detection function. The other is the Yutu series, which is mainly used for detection, but cannot be used by astronauts and runs very slowly. The Jintu-1 is a combination of these two types of lunar rovers, and it only absorbs the advantages and discards the disadvantages."
"The Golden Rabbit-1 lunar rover is so powerful, like a small tank, that it can cross almost any rough road surface. On relatively flat roads, the Golden Rabbit-1 can also travel at a faster speed. All this is due to the unique wheel-track composite structure of the Golden Rabbit-1."
"Just now I was wondering, with such a large operating power, how can we ensure that the Golden Rabbit No. 1 has enough energy? I didn't expect that it can also deploy solar cells while charging. And its charging efficiency and battery energy density are much higher than previous lunar rovers. There are many technologies provided by Fulong Technology in this."
Not only do Chinese people have a very high opinion of the Golden Rabbit No. 1, but many foreign friends have also expressed admiration for its design and performance.
Such a powerful lunar rover has conquered the hearts of people all over the world.
"Five, four, three, two, one, fire!"
Following the order from the commander-in-chief, the ZT-9 heavy-lift carrier rocket began its third mission.
Like the previous two times, all stages of the Rockets' progress went very smoothly this time.
Not only did it maintain the stability of the previous two missions, but it even did better than the previous two times in some details.
…
SAM Space Agency.
Williams, Johnson and others were also watching the live broadcast of the Golden Rabbit-1 launch mission at this time.
"They actually made such a powerful lunar rover... It's really incredible."
The functions that Golden Rabbit No. 1 can achieve are even beyond their imagination before.
"In this world, only Xu You can complete such a great design."
Looking at the structure of Golden Rabbit No. 1, Williams suddenly frowned.
"Commander Johnson, do you have a feeling?"
"What does it feel like, Chief Williams?"
"There seems to be a faint shadow of the Apollo lunar rover on the Golden Rabbit No. 1."
After hearing what Williams said, Johnson also began to think about it.
"What you said... seems to be a little bit. But the design of Golden Rabbit No. 1 should have been started a long time ago. It is impossible that Professor Xu You started the design of Golden Rabbit No. 1 after seeing our information."
"That's true. After all, they are all lunar rovers, so there must be some connection between them. We are old guys from the last century, and people can only know a little bit about us at most. It's impossible for them to appreciate the technology above."
Neither Williams nor Johnson thought about it carefully, nor could they have imagined the subtle relationship between the two.
"However, if the Golden Rabbit No. 1 is really as powerful as they say, then the secrets on the moon will be discovered by them sooner or later."
"Yes, once they learn these secrets, they will definitely want to build a base on the moon. It won't be long before they know the moon in much more detail than we do."
SAM Space Agency only has a vague understanding of the secrets on the moon and does not have the ability to conduct in-depth exploration.
And those seemingly incredible speculations have not been finally confirmed.
…
A few days later.
The spacecraft carrying four Golden Rabbit-1s has successfully entered the lunar orbit and is preparing to land.
At this time, viewers who were following Golden Rabbit No. 1 turned on their televisions, computers, mobile phones and other devices and flocked into the live broadcast room of Golden Rabbit No. 1.
"This time, we are going to introduce a new technology. We have not previously said where the Golden Rabbit 1 will land."
