c477 Japan Space Agency’s plan

Later, Liu Cong and Academician Zhang came to the factory to visit the general situation inside.

As before, there is basically no difference here. The only difference is that there is a new factory building, which is dedicated to smelting special steel and processing new materials.

Generally speaking, it can basically meet the basic needs of research and development.

As for some high-end research and development in the later stage, they are all completed under special circumstances, so there is basically no need to worry.

After visiting the factory, Liu Cong and Academician Zhang came to the former aerospace office building.

After entering, many of the equipment inside are undergoing extensive replacement.

Originally, many of the equipment here were special aviation equipment and did not meet Liu Cong’s needs at all.

Therefore, according to Liu Cong’s request, new equipment was purchased on a large scale.

“Academician Liu, according to your request, the superiors have planned to carry out a large-scale replacement of all equipment.”

“Preliminary estimates suggest that it will take about a month from assembly to completion,” said Academician Zhang.

Liu Cong watched people carrying equipment back and forth and nodded.

“Academician Zhang, don’t worry. Our initial plan is to make the external production of the interstellar mining vehicle first, and then we will consider the software later.”

“Moreover, the system of the interstellar mining vehicle is a completely new system. It is a piece of equipment superior to all kinds of spacecraft.”

“If we make a breakthrough this time, then we will build a navigation system for the entire solar system. Soon we will be able to fly out of the solar system and head towards outer galaxies.”

When he said this, Liu Cong’s eyes were full of expectation.

“Academician Liu, I hope it will happen one day!”

“My goal since I was a child is to send people from our country to the moon. For this goal, I have been working hard for it.”

“Now it seems that we may be able to achieve this goal soon.” Academician Zhang couldn’t help but sigh.

Liu Cong smiled and said: “Academician Zhang, this wish will soon be realized in the near future.”

“Because our first step is to go to the moon for mining.”

“The moon has titanium metal, platinum metal that we need now, and safe nuclear reactions in the future may rely on helium variants (helium-3) and so on.”

“The energy we rely on is enough to allow us to be self-sufficient for a long time without the need to import these materials. Moreover, we can directly drive down the prices as long as we mine a large amount of these relatively rare materials from the moon. energy, then the prices of these precious metals are simply cabbage prices!”

Liu Cong told Academician Zhang about his future plans, and Academician Zhang was very excited when he heard it.

“Academician Liu, according to your words, how long does it take for our interstellar mining vehicle to reach the moon?” Academician Zhang asked.

Liu Cong really had not thought about this question asked by Academician Zhang.

Liu Cong held his chin with one hand and his elbow with the other, thoughtfully.

“Logically speaking, the distance between Blue Star and the moon is 384,000 kilometers. The maximum distance our interstellar mining vehicle can travel in a year is about 68 kilometers per second. Calculated in this way, the time it takes for our interstellar mining vehicle to reach the moon is approximately for 39 minutes.”

“Then it will only take a little over an hour to get back.”

Academician Zhang was shocked when he heard this.

“The maximum traveling speed can reach 68 kilometers per second, which has completely reached the third cosmic speed.”

“According to what you said, it would be more than enough for this interstellar mining vehicle to fly out of the solar system. It’s really terrifying!!”

Academician Zhang’s current expression is like that of a child who has never seen the world, his eyes full of expectations for unknown things.

“Academician Zhang, this time we have to work harder than last time.”

“But don’t worry, you will definitely not be as tired this time as last time. We have a dedicated team of experts to support you this time. The pressure on you will be much less by then.”

Liu Cong’s words made Academician Zhang feel a little relieved.

Such a huge project may not be completed if it is led by one person.

“By the way, regarding the engine development of the interstellar mining vehicle, maybe we will cooperate with the China Aerospace Research Institute this time.”

“You go back and discuss it with your teacher to implement this matter. I really need his help.”

Liu Cong had long planned to personally invite Mr. Zheng to come over, but he knew that the development of fighter engines over there might still take a long time.

Therefore, Liu Cong did not contact Mr. Zheng immediately.

However, sooner or later, Mr. Zheng will need to come forward personally regarding the engine. After all, Mr. Zheng is currently a ceiling-level figure in this area.

“good!”

“I may not be able to contact my teacher at the moment. His team is in the most important period of research and development. I guess his cell phone has been abandoned by him.”

Of course Liu Cong understands, because this is what researchers do when they go crazy when doing experiments.

Sometimes when Liu Cong goes crazy while doing experiments, he is also in a state of near selflessness.

“There’s no rush. We’re still in the early stages of research and development, so there’s no rush!”

Japan, Aerospace Research Institute.

White-haired old men were sitting at the conference table, and below them were many young people wearing work clothes from the Aerospace Research Institute.

“Director, with our current progress, our country’s Starlink satellite will be launched into space in May next year.”

“If we go faster, we can still advance the schedule by a month.”

A researcher about thirty years old reported the battle situation to the old man.

The old man nodded, “You have worked hard during this time.”

“But don’t take it lightly. Currently, there are only two countries in the world with Starlink satellites, one is China and the other is the United States.”

“If we can build Starlink satellites again, then our country’s aerospace industry will be at the forefront of the world!!”

And the Starlink satellites that this old man kept saying were stolen from China.

This information is absolutely true.

“Director, we will definitely live up to the country’s hopes and build Starlink as soon as possible.”

“Sooner or later, we will have to retaliate for the blow China gave us that day!!”

A young man stood up from the crowd and said proudly.

This nation is a nation that will surely retaliate.

From beginning to end, China has been regarded as an enemy and has always wanted to invade and then occupy China.

However, in this small area, no matter how insidious they are, they will not damage China’s foundation at all.

China has such a profound heritage and foundation that no little Japanese can match.
