Chapter 219 Many Big Projects
Zhao Yao was so anxious that his scalp was numb when he saw more and more people gathered together. If this continued, he would be scolded by Xu Yunjin!
He quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Quiet, everyone, be quiet... Stand at attention!"
"Everyone, stand at attention!"
As a group with high discipline, soldiers are usually trained very strictly. As soon as they heard Zhao Yao's roar, they immediately stopped talking.
They all had conditioned reflexes for the orders of their superiors. This reflex is applicable at any time, including when they are resting...
After hearing Zhao Yao's roar, they quickly stood at attention one by one. Some people were even eating, but they didn't care at this time, so they could only hold a mouthful of food in their mouths and swallow it whole.
Zhao Yao was quite satisfied with this situation. The usual strict Chinese-style special training was not in vain.
He thought for a moment, and said loudly, imitating Yu Yifeng's tone: "Nothing else, I have two things to say. First, we may be the first batch of pioneering work. I don't need to say much about physical training. The gravity on the surface of the unknown planet is about 1.3-1.4 times that of the earth. What does this mean, everyone knows it, right?"
"Your bones, internal organs, and muscles will become heavier! It's equivalent to increasing the weight by 40-50 kilograms!"
"So, people with poor physical fitness and those who don't meet the physical training standards will be eliminated directly! The weak ones will stay on the Noah to hold the baby!" Zhao Yao said bluntly.
"Second, our division of labor may be more refined in the future. Whether it's driving a tank, driving a spaceship, repairing or operating a drone... more theoretical knowledge is required!"
"Examinations will be inevitable at that time! Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you are eliminated in the written test, hehe..."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, disband!"
At the end of Zhao Yao's speech, he also felt itchy. What spaceship, tank, mecha, he really wanted to drive them all!
But each person can only choose one, what should we do, can we choose all?
Zhao Yao's words seemed to pour cold water on everyone, but it also indirectly confirmed that scientists really wanted to vigorously research new equipment!
All the soldiers were cheering, and at the same time thinking in their hearts, which major should they choose... As for the theoretical exam? Please leave this headache aside!
While the soldiers were reveling, the people in the large conference room were constantly discussing and even arguing loudly...
They were really busy.
Yu Yifeng was exchanging a lot of opinions with a group of great scientists and several scientific teams. He didn't even bother to eat, just swallowed a few bites casually.
They have given a specific name to this unknown planet. It is called "Nix Star", which means "eternal night". (Nix is the goddess of the night in ancient Greek mythology.)
"This planet, that is, Nix, is too far away from the two central stars, and the huge light from the two stars is not enough to warm it. Therefore, it is very likely to be an extremely cold ice ball and in eternal darkness."
"Here I have to remind you that our various machines must have extremely high cold resistance and must be able to work in an environment of minus 200 degrees Celsius..."
On the stage, a leader of the astronomical meteorological team was speaking.
She is a petite woman, and because of the stem cell medicine, her real age cannot be seen from her appearance. However, she is really famous, so it is natural that she became the leader of the astronomical meteorological team.
In the new human civilization, age and gender are not considered, everything depends on talent.
She continued, "We plan to develop 30 artificial satellites within three years to form a comprehensive satellite scanning system. By then, we can use satellites to scan the geological structure of Nix, including highlands, mountains, basins, plains, etc. We can also search for mineral resources through geological remote sensing detection..."
"... For terrestrial planets like this, the probability of having an atmosphere is greater than the probability of not having an atmosphere. If the atmosphere of the planet is too thick, it will be difficult for our Noah to land."
After the lady expressed her views, she bowed slightly and walked down without saying anything.
This remark caused people to think deeply...
The density of Noah is too small, and it can float above the atmosphere.
This is an advantage and a disadvantage. If you want to land, you must hang more heavy objects outside to overcome the buoyancy of the air.
It's okay to have a thin atmosphere like Mars, but it's quite troublesome to have one like the Earth.
According to Archimedes' principle, an atmospheric pressure similar to that of the Earth requires 2.279 billion tons of mass to be mounted outside to make it land!
The higher the density of the atmosphere, the more heavy objects need to be mounted.
However, the total amount of heavy objects that humans can mount is not that much. Most mineral resources need to be produced mechanically, and it is impossible to take them out and use them as anchors.
"... We can collect slag, which is large in quantity and quality."
"... If there is a thick atmosphere, we can also build large airships to transport resources. The transportation cost of airships is very cheap."
People talked about it and found many solutions.
Compared to other problems, this problem is just a minor trouble. Since the meeting started, there have been too many difficulties. For people, problems that they are capable of solving are not considered problems... There are many that cannot be solved for the time being, and these are the big problems.
Yu Yifeng frowned, thinking that science and technology have made so much progress, but in the end, it is still not enough!
He looked at the leader of the geography team who was going to speak next. The middle-aged man was anxiously discussing something with other team members, and then he hurried to the stage.
"We are responsible for the geographical resource exploration. I think the old excavators should be redesigned and manufactured. The gravity of Nix is much higher than that of Mars. Due to the strength of the materials, our old excavators are difficult to withstand their own high gravity if they are full of minerals, so they must be redesigned..."
"Another point is about the methane lake. In extremely cold planets, it is very likely to form liquid methane lakes or a large amount of combustible ice... a bit like the North and South Poles of our earth. Should we find a way to collect these organic substances to solve the problem of insufficient organic matter on Noah?"
Yu Yifeng listened for a long time, and he was developing new machinery again...
He really had a headache, and shook his head slightly, looking at the screen behind him, a dense list of projects to be developed.
Yes, a long list!
There are two or three hundred projects with relatively high difficulty alone, not to mention countless other small projects.
He even doubted whether scientists could complete these numerous projects in three years?
Although technology is booming now and the progress is very, very fast...
But, are these scientific research projects too many? Can they handle it?
Are these scientists too crazy?
In comparison, the previous Mars landing was rubbish. Humans rushed up rashly, but fortunately... although they paid a price, it was bearable.
He even felt that humans were a little sensitive and thoughtful.
Yu Yifeng grabbed a handful of hair and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. Even if it can't be used this time, it will be used sooner or later in the future."
Scientific research, as long as it produces results, it can't be useless.
Anyway, as long as we land on the Nix planet, we will have all the resources. It doesn't matter if we consume more resources now... Even if we use up more than 70% of the reserve resources, we can bear it!
Yu Yifeng kept thinking, even if the past few years are a little hard, it doesn't matter, the future will always be beautiful.
It seems that people see a gold mountain and don't regard the few dollars in their hands as money. This is exactly the mentality...
If we can really mine gold and silver mountains, what can we do even if we spend all the resources in our hands?
