Chapter 547 Five Important Conditions
"Yaoyao, do you want to work on the project with me next time ?"
"Of course, if there is a chance, I will definitely go. I believe I didn't embarrass you too much in the last project."
"You don't need to ask me. Just think about how you were assigned some work after leaving the aerospace institute, and you will know how valuable you are. And I think your value is not just that."
With Lu Zhiyao's current abilities, her research direction could definitely be more inclined towards science.
The philosophy part is Lu Zhiyao's greatest advantage, and he can even give unique answers to some key questions.
After thinking for a while, Xu You said to Lu Zhiyao:
"This time, just apply directly on your own. Anyway, you were supposed to continue to join the project team, but because of the school's affairs, you didn't get into the project team in the end. If you can avoid using my power, it's better not to use it."
"Understood, I can handle these things myself."
If it is not necessary, Xu You hopes to rely on his own abilities rather than relationships.
The same goes for Lin Shi. If Lin Shi didn't have this ability, Xu You would never bring her into the project team.
…
After returning to Jijing University to rest for a while, Xu You once again came to the Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology to continue working on the lunar exploration project.
This time , the project team’s task is to determine the location of the first lunar scientific research base and make a construction plan.
If all goes well, the next moon landing mission will most likely involve the construction of a scientific research base.
In addition to Xu You, Xu Zhou, Lin Shi and Lu Zhiyao all participated in the project in their respective capacities.
Xu You did not use any force in this, because each of them had his own task and joined the project team based on his own abilities.
When the meeting started, everyone gathered together to discuss the site selection for the lunar research station.
" After the exploration of the moon by the Golden Rabbit-1 in recent days, we have found several locations suitable for establishing lunar scientific research bases. Among these locations, we need to choose the most suitable one as the base of our first lunar scientific research station."
In the process of selecting a site for a lunar base, these are the main conditions that need to be considered.
The first condition is the water source issue.
Because scientific research stations need to have astronauts stationed, there must be sufficient water supply to maintain the astronauts' normal life.
Although there is no liquid water on the moon, there is solid water and gaseous water, as well as some substances containing hydrogen and oxygen elements that can produce water under certain conditions.
The second condition is the issue of Yangguan.
Not only does life need sunlight, but our various devices also need solar energy as energy.
The lunar base we choose must have sufficient sunlight to provide a steady supply of energy.
The third condition is the traffic problem.
The transportation here is different from that on Earth.
It is necessary to choose a relatively flat area on the moon to facilitate the takeoff and landing of spacecraft, as well as the transportation of transportation equipment such as lunar rovers.
The fourth condition is natural resources.
One of the main tasks of the lunar research station is to mine, research and apply various resources.
The location of the research station should preferably be close to these mineral resources, which will also facilitate subsequent research work.
The fifth condition is the issue of safety.
Some high-radiation cosmic rays need to be avoided as much as possible.
These cosmic rays not only endanger the physical health of astronauts, but also affect electronic communication equipment and spacecraft.
In addition to these conditions, there are many other factors that need to be considered, but relatively speaking, they are not as important as these conditions.
We need to consider all the above conditions and find the most suitable location as our first lunar research station.
At this time, Xu You took the microphone and talked about his selection of the site for the lunar research station.
"My proposal is to establish our first lunar research station at the location of Shackleton Crater."
After hearing Xu You's words, everyone turned their eyes to Xu You and gave him affirmative looks.
It can be seen that many people agree with Xu You's suggestion.
In fact, Xu You had already made plans for this site, and after detailed analysis, he finally determined that this was the most suitable location for a lunar research station.
Then, Xu You explained why he wanted to build a lunar research station in the Shackleton Crater.
"The Shackleton crater is located near the south pole of the moon. Because of its special geographical location, the peaks along the edge of the crater are almost always exposed to sunlight."
The moon's day and night pattern is different from that of the earth. In most areas of the moon, there will be fourteen consecutive days of day and fourteen days of night.
But near the South Pole of the Moon, there can be more than 180 consecutive days of daylight.
Such special conditions are very suitable for various scientific research equipment to continue working.
"The interior of the Shackleton crater has always been in shadow. According to the detection of our Golden Rabbit No. 1, there is a large amount of solid water here. These water resources are enough to sustain the daily needs of astronauts."
"Because of the low temperature environment at the bottom of the crater, it is an ideal place for infrared observation. Therefore, it can also serve as an observation point for future large infrared telescopes."
"Not far from the crater, there is a mountain with an altitude of 5,000 meters. This mountain is always visible from the earth and can be used as a radio relay station for our scientific research base..."
Xu You explained the various advantages of the location of Shackleton Crater from different angles.
Xu You even took into consideration many details that are difficult to notice and proposed some future countermeasures.
It's hard to find any fault with such an excellent plan.
After the explanation, all the experts at the meeting couldn't help but nod their heads repeatedly, expressing their approval of Xu You's plan.
"I think Professor Xu's plan is really good. It brings together all the conditions we require for a research station and fully meets our needs."
After a unanimous vote, it was confirmed that Shackleton Crater would be our first lunar scientific research base.
Soon, the project completed the project establishment process and was officially announced to the public.
When this news spread around the world, it caused an extremely huge response.
The lunar research base that once seemed out of reach is now within reach.
