Chapter 52 Mars
The first confrontation between the Wolf and Tesla officially ended after 10 days, and the professional technology evaluation team reviewed the project based on its practicality, advantages and disadvantages.
The simple solution of the Wolf Design Bureau had long been adopted and used, and received unanimous praise.
Tesla's complex solution was also taken over by the factory. Although their solution was not effective, it was better in that it could be used for a long time.
The final result was that the Wolf took 2 hours and almost no consumption.
Tesla took 10 days and consumed a small amount of energy indicators. In addition, there are still a lot of details to be designed and a lot of work to be done.
It seems that the Wolf Design Bureau has won a great victory, but the Wolves just had a flash of inspiration and played a little trick. Tesla's people were unusually united in this project.
Who gained more, only they themselves know.
When the people on the Noah knew about this, the discussion became louder. The Wolf and Tesla were obviously two different styles. Tesla is traditional science, and the Wolf is a bit of black technology. It is difficult to tell which one is higher.
Disagreements began to arise among the crowd, with some supporting the Wolf and others supporting Tesla.
"The Wolf Design Bureau is obviously being clever. I can do this kind of plan, and it can even get a high score?!" A Tesla supporter said unhappily.
"It's so funny. If you can do it, you can do it. This is something that breaks the stereotype! Others have done it, so you think it's simple."
"I still think Tesla Research Institute is more reliable. Only down-to-earth can do science."
"The Wolf Design Bureau is not science? Simplifying complex problems is good science."
The confrontation between the open and the covert continues... This has also brought about a trend of loving science. The quality of people here is high, and everyone has a skill. Now, in their spare time, people like to take a few science books to read and add some knowledge.
For people, there are too many talents and the competition pressure for good jobs is too great. More knowledge means more competitiveness...
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since the spacecraft set sail. It is getting closer and closer to Mars, and the spacecraft begins to slow down by jetting in the opposite direction.
From the observatory, you can accurately see Mars, the orange-red planet.
Yu Yifeng was a little excited. Mars, here we come!
There are reasons why humans chose Mars as their destination. First, it has water, atmosphere, minerals, and relatively rich resources; second, it is relatively close to the moon. Europa and Titan are actually not bad, but they are too far away compared to Mars.
Mars is one of the eight planets in the solar system, with the astronomical symbol ♦. It is the fourth planet in the solar system from the inside to the outside and is a terrestrial planet. Its diameter is about 53% of the Earth, and its axial inclination and rotation period are similar to those of the Earth. Its revolution is about twice the time of the Earth's revolution.
In the West, Mars is called "Mars, the God of War". The orange-red appearance is due to the hematite (iron oxide) on the surface, so it is also called the red planet.
In 1965, before Mariner 4 flew over Mars for the first time, many people speculated that there was liquid water on Mars, because the light and dark features observed by the telescope were like land and sea, and some long and thin stripes were considered to be canals for irrigation.
Although it was later confirmed that these canals do not exist and may be just an optical illusion, Mars may indeed have liquid water and even life!
Radar data from the Mars Express and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show that there is a lot of ice under the surface of the poles and mid-latitudes!
In 2008, Phoenix confirmed the existence of water and ice directly under the surface soil. In 2013, the Mars rover Curiosity discovered that the Martian soil is rich in water, about 1.5 to 3 weight percent, indicating that Mars has enough water resources for future immigrants...
Of course, what can be seen from the observatory is not only Mars, but also the moon and the earth.
A few days ago, Yu Yifeng also observed the scene of the moon being torn apart by the gravity of the earth. The whole moon was like being peeled off, torn apart piece by piece, which was very scary. Large pieces of rocks splashed out and turned into meteorites, and a large-scale collision occurred...
Fortunately, people left... Yu Yifeng did not disclose this to everyone. He felt that there was no need.
The moon has nothing to do with us anymore. People still have to look forward. Mars is the next stop for mankind!
Yu Yifeng rubbed his hands, he was even a little impatient. The human ecosystem is too embarrassing, and we must obtain more resources and more energy on Mars.
To conquer a planet, it is not enough to rely on manpower alone. The most important thing is science and productivity. At present, it is also a high-speed stage of human technological development. Yu Yifeng hopes to build a spacecraft through Mars.
Yes, he has never thought about migrating to Mars. What he really wants to build is the Noah spacecraft.
You know, people haven't even built one ten-thousandth of the area of the spacecraft. If it is fully built, people can survive in the spacecraft for a long time. Why migrate to Mars?
Besides, if you want to transform a planet, humans don't have the technological level at all. At most, people will make the Mars base the same as the moon base, or live under a glass cover... In this way, it is better to stay on the Noah honestly, at least the space is larger and safer.
Everyone knows this very well. Mars is just a transit station, and people come here to mine. However, the digging may take a long time. People will learn some technologies here and learn some skills necessary for space navigation...
Yu Yifeng took a long breath, technology is so important in the universe. Technology is mankind's best sword and its best shield.
It is certainly a good thing that the Wild Wolf and Tesla institutes compete with each other, and it has even aroused people's love for science. However, science is meticulous and rigorous. An experiment needs to be repeated and verified many times to be considered successful, which takes a lot of time.
Technology can't be developed all at once. A month's work is nothing and it won't produce any results. Of course it's normal. The technology tree needs to be climbed slowly.
Tesla is okay, with a few small results every now and then. The wild wolf completely calmed down, not knowing what big name it was working on. Professor Ding Yidong once mysteriously said that it was a big project, a big project.
Since scientists are given enough freedom, Yu Yifeng won't have to worry about it so much. He can just check the semi-annual report. He himself is extremely busy.
"Mr. Yu Yifeng, the Tesla Research Institute has launched a large-scale report meeting today, and you are invited to participate!" Yuriko stepped forward and said to him. After this period of time, she has become a very qualified secretary.
However, she is still not very comfortable with human interaction.
Since encouraging the liberalization of the family planning policy, Yu Yifeng has always heard some strange words, saying that he and Yuriko should have a child as soon as possible to set an example... These people are really nosy, they have nothing to do.
Although Yu Yifeng has a slight affection for Yuriko, it is only between colleagues and is different from the relationship between men and women.
"Oh? Is it important?"
"They claim to have discovered a major secret about Noah's spacecraft, so you must participate!"
Yu Yifeng's expression changed. It was related to the Noah, so he should go and see it.
The technological content of this spacecraft is too high, including the gravity system, expanded space, constant mass, hard shell, etc. This series of phenomena is really too mysterious. If one of these secrets can be solved, humankind's technological level will make a qualitative leap.
Of course, Yu Yifeng feels that this is unlikely...
Thanks to book friends alicered and Tianshu Tianshu Tianshu for the reward, thank you!
