The demand for energy in China is urgency, but it does not exist for aerospace.

Even if the success of the controllable fusion project saves the country more than two trillions of energy costs per year, the money cannot be placed on aerospace projects.

Wherever money is spent, what role it takes, it is necessary to go through a rigorous process to make decisions.

Especially with the solution of the rocket recycling technology, the launch cost is not as it used to be.

Taking the launch of a low-Earth orbit satellite as an example, according to international quotations, Space-X’s Falcon rocket has been able to achieve 1141 USD/kg, compared to NASA’s 1990s Delta 4 rocket 11660 USD/kg. In terms of cost, it has been cut by nearly ten times.

The speed of launching of the fast-boat No. 1 rocket, which is currently the most commercially advantageous in China, has also dropped from 10,000 US dollars per kilogram to about 5,000 US dollars.

If a manned mission to the moon requires a spacecraft with a mass of about 50 tons to be sent to low Earth orbit, ignore the fact that spaceship is not a satellite and cannot be sent to the sky ten times. The launch cost can theoretically be controlled within 2 billion 5 million dollars.

Therefore, it is only necessary to build a quality projector at all for the purpose of boarding.

But what Lu Zhou thinks is not just sending people to put in a flag, but building a semi-permanent or even permanent scientific research station on the moon, or even a resource mining base.

Considering this long-term goal, it is quite necessary to transfer mass from the surface to the low-Earth orbit outside the atmosphere using a theoretically lower-cost launch.

If you have been using chemistry power rockets, when the number of launches is broken thousands of times, or even up to 10,000 times, so that space exploration can really turn from scientific research activities into an industry, and not to mention the cost problem, I am afraid that the issue of environmental protection is just It is enough to cause headaches.

It is to be understood that nitrous oxide and dimethyl hydrazine are poisonous.

Of course, Lu Zhou is also very aware that this trillion-level project is impossible to convince Elder House with just one idea, especially in space projects that do not have much-needed needs.

However, I believe that after he has produced enough results, what he said should be more convincing.

The meeting was divided into two parts. In the morning, it was announced at 12 o’clock to announce the intermission. After eating a simple meal at the middle of the meeting, the meeting continued until one and a half minutes later.

In the afternoon, this branch discussion is mainly the home of researchers and engineers, and the discussion is mainly focused on the technical field.

At the meeting, the representatives of the major research units spoke enthusiastically and put forward their own views.

In addition to the Hangche Group’s concept map of the Long March 9 rocket, many people have come up with interesting technical ideas.

For example, the high-level researcher of the Space Science and Applied Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences showed that the model of the plasma engine is not only different from the idea of ​​Lu Zhou in the details of the acceleration technology, but also a very interesting idea.

In this meeting, Lu Zhou’s speech is not too much, just a brief statement about his idea of ​​the technical route of the Hall thruster.

Some of this was his own point of view, and the other part was his thoughts during a chat with the researchers of the AF-MPD project team during his time as a consultant at the PPPL lab.

Originally, he thought that his point of view was already avant-garde. As a result, he did not expect that some people’s opinions were more sci-fi than him, and he even gave the idea of ​​no working quality advancement to the meeting.

In fact, no work can be promoted to science fiction, at least NASA has done research in this area, and even the relevant thesis can be found on Arixv.

After all, no one dares to say anything about the future is absolute. Even the most outstanding Scholar did not dare to make an “absolutely impossible” assertion of the “future”, even though those things seemed incredible at the time.

But in any case, the lack of quality to advance such distant things is not a topic of this era.

Everyone has heard it and it is just laughed, not going too far.

There is no jealousy in this kind of seminar itself. Basically, it is free to speak. Everyone can say anything, and there is no such thing as a bar that only refutes the theory.

As for the last adoption of that technical route, it is natural to see the results.

That is, by the middle of the year there will be a tender meeting to tender for the most critical heavy-duty spacecraft in the moon landing plan.

Whether it is a rocket or a space shuttle, who can deliver at least 30 tons of payload to the Earth-Moon transfer orbit and safely come back, whoever has the hope of winning the bid.

At present, the most promising to undertake this important task is probably the Long March 9.

However, 2028’s first flight time, even if it is not extended, is still eight years away.

If the national moon landing project intends to complete the manned mission to the moon within five years, in order to achieve the strategic goal of containing the United States and Europe, the Long March 9 that is still in the design stage will probably miss the battle.

In this context, if other companies can come up with a lower-cost, higher-priority launch solution, they are also competitive.

Do you want to join in this excitement…

In fact, Lu Zhou hasn’t thought too much.

For the electric propulsion engine, he is only in the research stage. It does not say whether he can reverse the technology in the wreckage. It is still difficult to say whether it can be used in the atmospheric environment after the reverse.

Can’t you say that this kind of higher civilization spaceship is itself assembled in a space station or a space port? There is absolutely no need to consider the issues of breaking the atmospheric environment and launching orbiting from the surface.

This possibility is completely present.

In short, before he has absolute certainty or a clear expectation of the realization of technology, what he said is only to express his own views. As for the bidding project at the end of the year, he probably won’t participate…

After the meeting, Lu Zhou came out of the venue.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that the people around him had more than one circle when he first came in.

Judging from the long spear short guns and the microphones that they are carrying, these people have no need to guess, no doubt they are journalists.

When the representatives of the enterprises such as Penguin and Ali had just stepped out of the venue, the reporters suddenly swarmed like a shark smelling a scent.

Looking at the movements of these reporters, Lu Zhou’s eyebrows couldn’t help but jump, but before he could gladly be surrounded, it wasn’t himself. Soon, there were sharp-eyed reporters who found him here, and suddenly surrounded them. Come up.

Even if Wang Peng was in front, a single microphone was drilled through the pins.

“Lu Professor, we are the reporters of the NetE-News Technology Channel. I heard that the restart of the manned moon landing program in China is your proposal?”

“Lu Professor, we are reporters from the Penguin News Technology Channel. Online rumors that China will soon realize space travel. What do you think?”

“… Someone is rumored to be the chief designer of the manned space program. Is this true?”

The scalp that was asked by the ensuing question was numb, and it was impossible to see through the breakout. Lu Zhou immediately caught a reporter who was closest to him and slammed back and went back: “Fake.”

Reporter: “Oh… then, then please -“

Taking control of the initiative, Lu Zhou shouted for aok a deep breath, wording rigorously said: “Restarting the manned space program is not entirely because of my suggestion, but the country does have strategic needs in this regard. As for manned landing on the moon The chief designer, I don’t know where you heard the news, but as far as I know, the relevant department just invited me to be a consultant.”

However, at this time, I did not know when to go next to Xu Shuji next to him, and smiled and added a sentence: “It is the general counsel.”

General counsel!

This short three words completely detonated the atmosphere of the scene…

Thanks to the book friend “You Ming Yu” for the alliance lord reward ~~~

I feel that I am owing more and more debts. I can’t fish any more this month… QAQ
