Chapter 598: Luna 1

Views:

As soon as Chen Mo finished his internal speech, the media got the content of his speech.

The video and content of Chen Mo’s speech in space were posted on the official website and Weibo of the Marching Ant Group.

From Chen Mo’s speech, the outside world interpreted a lot of shocking information.

Now that interstellar exploration is just booming, the Army Ant Group is no longer satisfied with the development of the earth and has begun to envision becoming an interstellar company.

Drive your company to the moon.

This sentence became the headline on the cover of major newspapers.

Outsiders speculate that the next goal of the Marching Ant Group is to build a space station and a lunar base, which will also be the starting point of Chen Mo's interstellar ambitions.

If this kind of statement came from other companies, it might be regarded as a joke by the outside world.

But now coming from Chen Mo's mouth, the meaning is completely different.

Moreover, another big news was revealed from Chen Mo's speech.

The nuclear fusion power station is about to be opened, and the energy revolution is coming soon.

The army ants have mature nuclear fusion technology and aerospace aircraft technology. The moon is the next target of the army ant group, which is completely reasonable.

"The moon is rich in helium-3, which is currently one of the most ideal fuels for nuclear fusion. For the army ant group that masters nuclear fusion technology, the moon is an inexhaustible treasure house. If Chen Mo By successfully establishing a lunar base on the moon and developing resources, he will master the future energy technology of all mankind. Chen Mo's ambition is not small."

"Can Chen Mo occupy the moon privately? Do the developed lunar resources belong to himself?"

"In accordance with the International Law on the Moon Agreement, Article 11(3) stipulates that any natural resources of the Moon shall not become the property of any State, intergovernmental or non-governmental international organization, national organization or non-governmental entity or any natural person. But there is no provision restricting private The company's development of lunar resources, theoretically, Chen Mo can develop the lunar resources, and whoever mines them will belong to him, but he is not allowed to take advantage of the unexploited resources as his own in any form."

Chen Mo's idea of building a company to the moon caused a global sensation.

There were endless comments, and the content of Chen Mo's internal speech finally made it clear to the outside world why Chen Mo's entry into space just one day led to global powers accelerating the pace of exploring the moon.

Most countries have not yet reached the moon, and Chen Mo has already begun to covet the moon's resources.

If Chen Mo is allowed to occupy favorable resources again, other countries will be very passive.

In addition to Chen Mo's idea of lunar development, the media also noticed another plan of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo is preparing to create a world-class university.

With the current reputation and technical capabilities of the Marching Ant Group, building a top-notch university is not a problem at all. With Chen Mo personally participating in the battle, the meaning is even more different.

Based on Chen Mo's legendary experience, if the school is built, it will attract the world's top talents to apply. It is not surprising that Binhai City will have one of the world's top schools.

The scientific and educational circles have begun to look forward to the emergence of this institution established by Chen Mo.

Rumors about Chen Mo and the Army Ant Group are going viral on the ground.

In the sky, Chen Mo responded to Xiaoyu's request and after explaining several space experiments to the children in Haibin Kindergarten, he began to pay attention to the launched lunar satellite.

After dozens of hours of flight, the launched lunar-orbiting satellites successfully entered their predetermined orbits around the moon, and the Jianmu-1 relay satellite also reached the orbit of the Lagrange L2 point.

In this lunar satellite launch mission, the two most important instruments are the Jianmu-1 satellite and the Luna-1 lunar surface lander. One is responsible for relay communications, and the other is responsible for landing on the back of the moon.

The satellite is equipped with an ion engine, so there is no need to worry about running out of fuel. The orbit can be continuously corrected. As long as there are no technical problems, the satellite will never fall. Therefore, there were no accidents during the Jianmu-1 orbit entry process.

Now only the most important Luna 1 is left, which is still changing its orbit.

The planned landing site is the Mare Mare in the South Pole on the far side of the moon.

In the Aitken Basin, Chang'e 4 has landed there. In the data shared with him by Zhang Jianfeng, the environmental data in that area was relatively complete. Chen Mo didn't want to compete with the authorities for space, so he chose a new area to explore, and it was finally determined that Wisdom Sea next to the Aitken Basin.

"How is the situation on Luna 1?"

Chen Mo looked at the orbit entry data sent back by the satellite on the screen.

Because the data they received was delayed by about 1 minute, the entire moon landing process of Luna 1 was not controlled by Chen Mo and the ground, but was determined by the artificial intelligence in Luna 1.

Chen Mo has written the required algorithm and orbital data parameters into the core of the lander. The computer and artificial intelligence inside the lander will use the laser ranging and feedback data to independently calculate the parameters, adjust the attitude and altitude, and land autonomously.

"Both Jianmu 1 and Queqiao have received the signal from Luna 1, and Luna 1 is adjusting into a near-lunar orbit."

All Chen Mo can do now is wait.

The earth's instructions are sent to the moon, but the delay is too great. If the satellite is left to wait for its instructions, the day lily will be cold, so the artificial intelligence can only adjust it by itself.

"The Lunar 1 orbit parameters are being calculated..."

"Orbit data correction, slowing down..."

"Decelerating, altitude 20 kilometers, preparing to enter the planned landing orbit..."

"Speed adjustment... Speed adjustment..."

"Calculating orbital parameters..."

"Luna 1 has successfully entered the scheduled landing orbit..."

In the orbit above the moon, Luna 1 is high in the sky, constantly adjusting its attitude. The faint blue light of the ion engine fades and appears. Data is sent out one by one, and is transmitted back to the Goddess through Jianmu 1 and the Queqiao relay star. and ground command center.

"Brother Mo, Luna 1 has successfully entered the scheduled landing orbit."

After learning the data sent back by Luna 1, Chen Mo's heart dropped.

After successfully entering the near-lunar orbit, the next step is the process of independent landing of Luna 1. As long as the landing is successful, the lunar launch mission will be successful.

Luna 1 has two main missions.

One is to launch two small detection robots into the far side of the moon to continuously obtain environmental and soil data on the far side of the moon; the second mission is to return the lunar soil for research.

The second mission is the most important, related to his plan to build a base on the moon.

The Luna 1 lander is not very big. The ion engine installed has enough power to push the lander into space, so Luna 1 has the ability to return.

After obtaining the lunar soil, he needs to conduct research on the lunar soil and find a way to print building materials from the lunar soil regolith to facilitate the construction of bases on the moon in the future.

The other three satellites continue to detect the lunar environment and collect necessary data for his next lunar landing.

"How long will it take until Luna 1 reaches the scheduled landing point?"

"According to the data just sent back, it will take about 3 hours." Mo Nu said.

"There's still time."

Chen Mo looked through the glass window into the distant depths of the universe.
