Three days later, Lin Hexia moved into Zhao Yi's home. In order to facilitate her work, a relatively independent studio was prepared for her, right next to Zhao Yi's studio.
Because of Zhou Jinyu's "light bulb", Lin Hexia still lived in her original room and lived separately from Zhao Yi. After Zhou Jinyu came over, Zhou Jinyu was not as tense as he imagined, but instead made him a "third party."
Anyway, as long as the two of them are together, they have to do everything together. On the contrary, he feels that he is redundant, so he usually doesn't get along very much and can only stay in his studio and work on work.
After receiving relevant reports from each of its affiliated companies, in response to his active support for the Tarim Basin transformation plan, the affiliated companies have basically met his requirements after adjusting various tasks over the past month.
With the orderly advancement of all work, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company's project in the Tarim Basin has also made great progress, and all work is progressing hand in hand.
Such as the Tarim River dredging project, Lop Nur capacity expansion project, sand dune bulldozing project, irrigation and water storage project, etc., there is a large supply of mechanical equipment and human resources.
Moreover, with the rapid expansion of the staff size, although the pressure on logistics support has also increased, with the cooperation of all parties, the logistics support work has been quickly improved, and there is still no big problem in supporting the current staff size.
Especially as the artificial rainfall work in the Tarim Basin was carried out in an orderly manner during this period, the water volume of the Tarim River increased significantly, and the water needs of personnel were greatly met.
Since these projects are not fixed sites, they cannot build large-scale water purification facilities. They can only use small-scale water purification equipment. Although it is relatively troublesome, it can barely meet the demand.
During this period, the biggest and hottest news topic in the country is the transformation of the Tarim Basin. After all, as long as this thing is completed, it will bring huge benefits to the country.
Ordinary people previously thought that if the transformation of Tarim was successful, there would be millions more hectares of fertile farmland in the country, and they did not know much about other aspects.
However, as experts from all walks of life conducted various science popularizations on this plan on TV media and the Internet, everyone fully realized how great this work is.
In addition to bringing tangible benefits to our country, more importantly, this is another breakthrough in human science and technology in transforming the natural environment, which can greatly expand human living space, and at the same time, to a certain extent It has changed the dilemma of human beings passively adapting to the environment.
If organisms cannot transform the environment according to their own requirements and can only passively adapt to the environment, they will eventually be eliminated by nature due to drastic changes in the environment.
Human beings are naturally no exception. Therefore, if humans want to exist in the universe for a long time, they must continuously strengthen their ability to transform the environment so that the environment can adapt to them.
Of course, survivability can also be enhanced from another angle, that is, by strengthening one's own adaptability, making it easier for humans to adapt to drastic environmental changes, thereby gaining a chance of survival.
In fact, work in this area is already in the accumulation stage. Genetic engineering and cell engineering are actually laying the foundation for this goal, thereby making humans more adaptable to nature.
It's just that the dangers in this aspect are much more dangerous than small-scale transformation of the natural environment. Before the foundation is not solid, it is basically impossible to play its due role.
The reason why we need to enhance adaptability is mainly because the earth is not that safe. Not to mention the dangers from the universe, the earth itself also undergoes periodic drastic changes in the environment, which is a test for the survival ability of living things.
Let’s not talk about other things for now, let’s just say that there are large-cycle changes in the climate cycle, and there are small-cycle changes in the large-cycle changes. Each change will cost mankind a huge price.
It's just that this kind of change is often slow, making it difficult for people to feel the personal experience. But when quantitative changes accumulate into qualitative changes, there will be huge dangers.
The significance of these transformation projects, in addition to being of great significance to our current living environment, is that many technologies can actually be applied to the transformation of other planets.
Although this is still too far away for us now, human footprints have reached the moon, and human spacecraft have reached Mars.
This shows that the trajectory of human activities has begun to expand into space, although it does not mean much to individual humans. After all, it is impossible for space technology to develop to the level of science fiction in just a few decades of life.
But compared to the entire human race, it is still of great significance. Leaving aside other things, the transformation of Mars has been discussed by netizens on the Internet.
Of course, the transformation of the Tarim Basin is not only hotly discussed domestically, it is also an ongoing topic abroad and will not gradually fade away due to the emergence of other hot events.
Unlike the domestic focus on immediate interests, after all, even if the Tarim Basin is successfully transformed, it will be difficult for foreign countries to benefit directly, so they are not particularly concerned about what will happen after the transformation of these projects is successful.
Their focus is still on the technical issues involved in the transformation of the Tarim Basin by Fluolight Environmental Management Company. If they can also master these technologies, it will be a real benefit to them.
Not to mention hydrogels that can achieve large-scale artificial rainfall, this new material can achieve large-scale rainfall at a low cost, and can also be used in meteorological weapons.
It’s just that this product is not for sale. When the company used hydrogel to achieve the first large-scale artificial rainfall, other countries wanted to buy it, but they were all rejected by the company.
In order to reduce the pressure faced by Fluclight Environmental Management Company, the government also very considerately put this material on the embargo list and prohibited external sales. The reason is also very considerate of human beings, which is to prevent its use for military purposes.
After failing to succeed with the hydrogel, they set their sights on the biotechnology demonstrated in this project. It was basically impossible to obtain the technology, and they knew it.
So they want to obtain these super creatures, such as super moss, whether it is super moss that can absorb nuclear radiation or super moss that can adapt to harsh environments, they all have a very big effect.
As for the fertile soil grass, some people have actually wanted to buy it for a long time, but the Yaoguang Environmental Management Company still hasn't sold it. Unless the task is handed over to the Yaoguang Environmental Management Company, it is basically impossible to purchase the product separately.
However, during the transformation process, Tianshu Machinery Company demonstrated their excellent mechanical design capabilities and manufacturing technology and capabilities, which greatly increased their foreign inquiries.
It’s just that the current domestic demand for construction machinery is very large. Not to mention exports, even the previous export business has shrunk to a certain extent, with priority given to meeting domestic demand.
Therefore, inquiries have increased significantly, but if you want to obtain these excellent construction machinery and equipment, you have to wait until next year, because by then, the demand for machinery and equipment in the Tarim Basin reconstruction project will drop significantly.
And their production capacity has undergone a new round of expansion. Part of this production capacity is used for the rapidly expanding domestic machinery market demand, and the other part is looking for markets overseas.
Until the Tarim Basin is completely transformed, the popularity of this project will probably not disappear completely, or at most will decrease, and the name of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will also be mentioned all the time along with this project.
However, one thing has recently attracted great attention around the world. That is Future Space Technology Company officially announced that it has launched a lunar exploration plan, with the ultimate goal of building a permanent lunar base.
The strength of Future Space Technology Company is recognized globally, because their space station was built in less than half a year, and during this period, it ran very well.
And their space launch technology, after the construction of the global satellite communication system, has been ranked first in the world and unique on top of its original reputation.
The impression given to the world before was that commercialization was very successful because they could reduce the cost of space launches to a level that others could not. In addition, the success rate was very high, and they still maintain a 100% success rate.
It was only when helping Xuantian Technology Company to launch the global satellite communication system that the high-density and uninterrupted space launch scene completely let the world know that in the field of space launch, it was not just a matter of cost.
More importantly, they don't know whether Future Space Technology's high-frequency transmission technology is currently at their limit. It is this unknown that makes everyone more fearful.
This is not just space technology. Rocket launch technology and missile launch technology are of the same origin. If future space technology has more advanced launch technology, then our country will inevitably have more advanced missile launch technology.
Therefore, Future Space Technology Company announced its lunar exploration plan less than half a year later. Although it was a bit surprising, it was also expected.
Because according to the conventional space exploration route, Future Space Technology Company has even completed the construction of the space station. The next step must be lunar exploration, and it is impossible to jump to Mars exploration all at once.
After all, the road has to be taken step by step. If you take too big a step, you will get stuck. Especially in space projects, the cost of each project is a huge number, and the cost of project failure is too high.
Moreover, failure will not only cause monetary losses, but also seriously affect one's own space program. Not only will it require re-building relevant equipment, but there will also be pressure from internal public opinion.
Fortunately, Future Space Technology Company is a private enterprise and does not need to care about the pressure of public opinion at home and abroad. Anyway, they have their own funds and do not need government subsidies, so they can have higher autonomy.
However, Future Space Technology Company has never conducted a long-distance space exploration project before. There is still a big gap between launching a few satellites and building a space station.
Therefore, after the Future Space Technology Company announced its lunar exploration plan, it did not cause a sensation internationally. It was just that NASA repeatedly took this matter up and wanted to seek more financial support.
When Future Space Technology's space station was completed, the world's major space powers increased their space research funding for their own space station research projects.
However, there has been no new progress in the space station research project. Future Space Technology's lunar exploration has also involved the aerospace departments of other countries, causing headaches for governments of various countries.
Although they are already leading the way in the field of lunar exploration, and even achieved manned landing on the moon many years ago, this does not dispel their concerns.
Because the future space technology company is developing so fast in aerospace exploration, if you are not careful, you will probably surpass them and put it at a disadvantage in aerospace competition.
Due to the increasingly difficult domestic economy, Polar Bear also wants to strengthen research in the space field and has allocated some funds, but it does not expect to rely on this small amount of funds to allow itself to come out on top. It is better than nothing.
But for Yingjiang, the aerospace field is their pride. Especially with the rapid development of our country's economy, our industrial strength has become the strongest in the world. In these traditional areas of advantage, they have gradually lost their advantages.
There are not many fields that they can be proud of now, and the aerospace field is definitely one of them, so they have to face the "aggressiveness" of future space technology companies.
As a result, the already weak Yingjiang economy has become even worse. Although some technologies in the aerospace field can also be transformed into civilian technologies and obtain some economic benefits.
But as far as the entire aerospace field is concerned, this economic benefit is actually a drop in the bucket. Generally speaking, it is still a pure investment project unless phased results are achieved.
For example, if a space station like Future Space Technology Company builds a large scale, complete facilities, and is cost-effective, sufficient benefits will be obtained only after commercialization.
It’s just not easy to do this. Just because Future Space Technology Company can do it, it doesn’t mean that the aerospace departments of other countries can do it.
Before the launch of Future Space Technology's space station, the construction of space stations in other countries was based on ten years. The time span was very long, the life of the space station was limited, and the construction and use costs were very high.
In his previous life, even Yingjiang had to pull other countries to build the International Space Station instead of building it independently. Because it cost so much, even if he built it, he would still be in a state of loss and had to bring in people to share the pressure.
Therefore, they have not yet figured out the cost of building a space station for future space technology companies, and they cannot estimate how much profit future space technology companies will make from the commercialization of space stations.
With the future space technology company's space station Yuzhu in front, Polar Bear, Eagle Sauce and the European Community will invest heavily in space station research, but they actually don't have much confidence in commercial competition.
Therefore, in the field of space station development, they are destined to make a loss-making business, because they know that they cannot compete with future space technology companies in terms of cost control.
Putting aside the space station, a project destined to lose money, when it comes to lunar exploration, the dominant aerospace powers face much less pressure against the latecomer, Future Space Technology Company.
But when they didn't take it seriously, half a month after Future Space Technology announced its lunar exploration plan, it officially announced the launch of its first lunar probe.
Since the rocket capacity of Future Space Technology Company is sufficient, this plan is also very bold. It wants to complete the lunar orbit relay satellite and lunar probe landing on the moon in one step, as well as detect and sample the lunar soil and return it.
The first two are the fundamental purposes of this plan. The lunar orbit relay satellite can not only transmit communication signals to the earth, but also conduct satellite detection on the moon in orbit.
The purpose of landing the lunar probe was mainly to actually accumulate experience in landing on the moon. After all, they had not done any work in this area before, they had only simulated it in a simulation system.
As long as these two tasks are completed, the purpose of this launch will be achieved. The subsequent sampling and return are just incidental projects to accumulate certain experience for future returns to the lunar surface.
In fact, Future Space Technology Company does not particularly care whether the lunar soil can be brought back, because their ultimate goal of lunar exploration is to establish a permanent base.
If a permanent base can be established, will there be no lunar soil to study? However, if this link can be successfully completed, it can win greater reputation for future space technology companies.
The lunar probe of Future Space Technology Company was officially launched on December 10. It will reach the lunar orbit four days later, and then detect the lunar surface in orbit to find a suitable landing site.
Once a suitable landing site is found, on-orbit separation will be achieved. The relay satellite and returner will remain in orbit, while the lander will land on the moon.
In order to achieve temporary decision-making capabilities, this time the lunar probe is loaded with artificial intelligence. The entire process does not even require control by the Earth Control Center. They can complete all links independently.
It is precisely because of advanced artificial intelligence technology that they want to complete all aspects of unmanned moon landing and return at once. If successful, they can save a lot of money.
Because there were too many things to carry this time, Future Space Technology also used a large launch vehicle that had been studied for a long time for the first time. The lunar orbit carrying capacity reached 60 tons, which was greater than the carrying capacity of Yingjiang's Saturn 5.
It's just that this large launch vehicle still uses traditional engine technology and fuel, so the rocket body is not small, but it is technically ahead overall. The rocket body is similar to the Saturn 5, but its transport capacity is much higher.
If the entire process goes very smoothly this time, the next step will be to start the construction of the lunar base. However, during this process, personnel will not be sent, but robots will be sent to build the lunar base.
Because an unmanned lunar landing is successful, safety cannot be completely guaranteed, but we cannot explore the moon empty-handed. It is completely unnecessary to send many unmanned landers.
In addition, the robot technology of Xuantian Technology Company is very advanced. Not to mention high-end robots, even housekeeping robots can fully adapt to this task after necessary modifications. (End of chapter)
