Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Nanjing Institute of Advanced Studies.

director’s office.

Lu Zhou, sitting at the desk, is also reviewing the documents on the table with meticulous attention.

Since becoming the chief designer of the Lunar Track Construction Committee, his work has been busy.

The entire Chinese nation’s funding for the lunar construction project has to go through this pen in his hand.

In short, Elder, who is the chairman, is responsible for checking the total amount of funds. Based on the scientific, economic, and cultural values ​​of the lunar orbital project, he decides how much money the entire lunar orbital construction plan can get.

As for the general designer Lu Zhou, it is responsible for deciding which of these funds are spent, or in other words, which R&D projects are used.

If the entire outer space exploration program is likened to a small boat sailing on Dahai, then he is in the position of the helmsman. If there is a problem with him, the whole ship has to go along with the problem.

Therefore, even if you are not interested in these trivial things, he can only sit here with patience, and tirelessly read every document from the beginning to the end, from which to identify those reliable projects or programs, and sign yourself on it. name.

Just as Lu Zhou was mired in a report on the technical feasibility of the lunar surface engineering equipment, a knock at the door was heard.

Stopped the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou looked towards the door, and cleared his throat and said.

“Please come in.”

The door opened and the young female assistant in a professional attire, holding a stack of thick documents, came in from the outside.

“Professor, here is the document sent from Huanong University and the Aviation Bureau. I am sending you the Foreign Development and Liaison Office.”

Lu Zhou nodded said.

“I know, you are on the table first.”

“Okay,” the female assistant was nodded. She went to the desk and took the file out of the folder. She placed it at the corner of the desk and asked softly, “Will there be anywhere else I can help you?”

“It’s good to help me with a cup of coffee.”

“Okay, Professor.”

The young female assistant was nodded, turned and walked to the side of the water dispenser, helped Lu Zhou to take a cup of instant Mocha, and then left the office with a light hand.

While drinking coffee, Lu Zhou simply flipped through two documents sent from the external liaison office.

In general, the two documents are good news, especially the documents sent by the space agency, and highly praised the outstanding contribution of the Nanjing Institute of Advanced Research in the lunar orbit construction.

The successful completion of the core module of the Moon Palace not only established a first-hand advantage for the development of the Chinese resources, but also won a great reputation for the Chinese nation in the international arena.

At the same time, in this document, the concept map of the first phase of the space station sent by the Hangke Group and the completion schedule of the remaining components are also included.

Based on this information, Lu Zhou will discuss the launch schedule of the next node, energy, experimental, work, and other space station components through a meeting of the Lunar Rail Construction Committee.

On the other side, not only the good news came from the Moon Palace, but also the good news came from the Gurbantunggut Desert.

As early as a month ago, Lu Zhou was still studying how to send the Moon Palace to the monthly track. The “Fire Plan” completed the construction of the first phase of the project, and under the leadership of Hu Yang Professor, started the biology. The operation of circle a.

So far, the biology area a has been successfully operated for one month. During this month, the volunteers enclosed in the artificial biology circle successfully achieved the expected goals, through limited water input and a small amount of waste discharge. The cycle of livelihood supplies.

“Closed Loop Life Support Technology” is one of the most important pre-engineers of the colonial moon and even Mars, and an important part of the entire lunar orbital construction plan.

Currently in this field, the United States, which once dominated the “Biology Circle 2” experiment, has gone relatively far, and the Ares Life Maintenance Unit, which has been launched to Mars, is an application of this technology.

If the Chinese nation intends to build a colony on the moon or even more distant planets, it is essential to unlock the branch of this technology tree.

Seeing the report of Hu Professor, and finally, Lu Zhou’s face showed a gratifying expression.

If all goes well, if it is fast, maybe next year, China will be able to send its colonists to the lunar surface.

Just then, the knock on the door sounded again.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Lu Zhou looked in the direction of the door.

“Please come in.”

Pushing open the door of the office, Houguang, the director of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, walked in with a serious look. Before Lu Zhou asked what was going on, he would straight to the point.

“A good news, a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Seeing the serious expression on the waiting face, Lu Zhou squatted slightly and then said with a smile.

“When did you learn to sell it?” Paused, he said casually. “That… start with good news.”

Houguang: “The good news is that we planted the plant on the moon and have successfully harvested the first batch of potatoes!”

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou’s face gradually appeared a touch of surprise.

“Is it already harvested? Is it so fast?”

Although he has not planted the land and has not done research in this area, it is also heard that the potato usually takes three months from sowing to maturity.

It’s only two months since the planting unit was successfully launched and harvested. It has to be said that this speed is a bit more amazing.

Apparent to Lu Zhou’s surprise, Houguang laughed and explained: “Alright, we used the improved potato seed, plus the constant temperature system of the planting unit to keep it at the optimum growth temperature for two months. Time is not too exaggerated.”

The cost of potatoes grown through space planting units is undoubtedly more expensive than Earth.

Even so, at a cost of more than tens of thousands of dollars per kg, the cost of growing food on the moon is much cheaper than planting on Earth.

And even if you let go of the economic cost, you can realize the self-sufficiency of livelihood materials on the moon. This kind of psychological satisfaction is also simply impossible to exchange with money…

“This is indeed good news,” paused, Lu Zhou laughed and continued: “What about bad news?”

“The bad news is that we received the news this morning…” Hesitated for a moment, waiting for the light to say a deep breath, said, “Space-X BFR rocket launched last month, has been at 13 o’clock in Beijing today. Landing on the surface of Mars.”

Already landing? !

The expression gradually became serious, and Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the office chair, immediately continued to ask: “How is the landing situation?”

Houguang’s expression looked at him with a dignified look and said.

“It is said that… they have succeeded.”
