"We are currently in the first phase of our journey to Mars, including tests and experiments on human health and behavior, similar to the life support system of growing food and recycling water in "The Martian," including on the International Space Station. 3D printing and more.”
Lin Han had no idea that his reputation had spread among the project team. Now he suddenly looked up and found that so many people were staring at him, and their probing eyes made him feel uncomfortable all over.
The two of them walked forward as they talked. Dong Yahui pointed to the dome building next to the huge workshop not far away, "I think you will be interested in this place. That is the place we use to simulate the Martian environment. , the closed environment completely simulates Mars, rather than the semi-open environment in southern Xinjiang.”
Lin Han pursed his lips, "Actually, it's pretty much the same. What you see in movies are basically NASA, but the China Space Administration rarely appears in movies and TV series."
After Dong Yahui saw Lin Han who was tiptoeing, he waved gently and motioned for him to sit next to him, "Xiao Lin, we are making a report on the three-step plan for humans to land on Mars. You can listen and ask if you have any opinions. You can bring it up.”
Lin Han followed Qian Boen into the inconspicuous gray building in front. Only when he entered did he realize that there was a different world. There were staff coming and going, and many people in suits and shirts were gathered together to discuss. Occasionally, I can see a telescope next to it, but I don’t know if it can be used.
"The second phase of the work is mainly about the test site, launching new spaceships and launching the most powerful launch vehicle in modern times. When is the Long March? Anyway, it should be after the 10th. The third phase is on the surface of Mars As well as living and working in a transport spacecraft, this will probably be after 2030. Do you have any questions? If you have any questions, ask them. If not, let’s break up the meeting.”
At this time, there were only about twenty people sitting scattered in the room. One of them, a middle-aged man, was talking nonstop about his future plans using a ppt: "Although there are many challenges to landing on Mars, these problems can be solved. , Mars is an attainable goal.”
Lin Han took a deep breath, and then swiped the work badge on his neck against the door. A green light sounded, and the bulletproof glass door that was originally closed opened.
Lin Han felt that this place was quite suitable for filming the movie "The Martian", but the project team would definitely not allow a complex film crew to come in.
Although Qian Boen is an assistant and can know a lot of information, he still needs to have this kind of face-saving skills.
"Mr. Dong is already waiting for you over there. They are having a meeting. You can enter the meeting room by swiping your card. It is not convenient for me to follow you in."
After he pushed the door open and entered, he discovered that there was another door, which was the real conference room.
"While this isolation experiment hasn't started yet, you can go in and have a look first, otherwise you will have to wait for a year." Dong Yahui knew that Lin Han would be interested in this, just like in a novel.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
After one banner after another frightened Jack Harrison, Lin Han directly contacted Dong Yahui's assistant. He couldn't wait to see what the so-called Mars Project Team was like.
After taking a car to a remote place in the countryside, Lin Han found that there were armed policemen guarding these unattractive-looking buildings, and they were heavily guarded.
Dong Yahui had been recuperating for so long, and then he said to Lin Han: "Is this very different from the project team you imagined?"
This living area is very small and supplies are scarce. Although they don’t have to grow their own potatoes, they can only eat various freeze-dried foods. The conditions are very difficult.
"Teacher Lin, this is your work ID and pass card. The place you can swipe is the place you can go. If you don't have enough authority, please don't break in, otherwise the armed police comrades will misunderstand."
Lin Han nodded. He didn't want to be misunderstood as a spy. He was just a visitor. "Is this the entire space agency or our Mars project team?"
Lin Han walked over there curiously. This was just a solar dome building with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of 6 meters. He didn't know what was going on inside.
“…”
"There are only two departments here, one is the Lunar Exploration Engineering Center, and the other is us. Our project team has just been established less than half a year ago, and a lot of work has not been completed yet, so the place is relatively small. And our main simulation site is in southern Xinjiang We often have to fly there, which is a bit inconvenient."
These aerospace projects are generally kept secret from the public and are full of mystery. Now that Lin Han has the opportunity to join one, it must be an extremely exciting thing.
Lin Han even saw a tracked vehicle similar to a Mars rover. Computers were densely placed, and the office area was separated from the experimental area.
It’s really like this. There are no domestic science fiction movies or TV series involving this, and even if the space agency wants to promote it, it can’t do it.
Looking around, the inside of the house was desolate, with only dry land and piles of rocks. The fiery red desert stretched out, resembling Mars.
Qian Bowen has been Dong Yahui's assistant for several years, but he still hasn't been able to become a special consultant of the project team. He is a little bit disgusted that the writer in front of him, who only knows how to write a few novels, can do this.
The entire simulated Mars base is powered by a solar panel outside the dome. If you want to take a walk outdoors, you must wear a full space suit and conduct a simulated space walk. The air pressure and air composition here will be strictly controlled.
Suddenly, he found that his work was named, and Lin Han suddenly raised his head. He found that the speaker had posted a few photos of potatoes. This was really an honor.
Lin Han had just arrived and he didn't know anything. He would definitely not raise his hand rashly. That would be too embarrassing.
Maybe this meeting was just to read the spirit of the document. Lin Han looked around and found that everyone looked like they were old gods. Anyway, no one asked questions.
The people next to him looked at this young and handsome man with great curiosity. This man who looked like a college student could actually enter the conference room. Many people's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You can't blame us. After all, movies and TV shows are crooked. This is serious science and we can't reveal it casually. Besides, we have no chance to appear. We have only filmed documentaries related to this in China, so maybe It’s the Long March series of rockets, the Yutu lunar exploration rover, etc., nothing else has a chance.”
