Chapter 759

In an office at the base, Gu Lu, Wu Zheng, and Jiang He sat down.

Wu Zheng pondered for a few seconds and then said to Gu Lu, "Gu Lu, the reason why I called you back so urgently this time is actually because the research and development of the moon landing spacecraft is in trouble."

Gu Lu nodded and expressed his understanding, "Can you tell me what specific difficulties you encountered in the research and development of the moon landing spacecraft?"

Wu Zheng turned his attention to Jiang He, "Jiang He, please talk to Gu Lu."

Jiang He nodded lightly, and then a wry smile appeared on his face, "Hey, this is still my fault. I thought the design and development of the moon landing spacecraft was too simple."

Then, Jiang He told Gu Lu about the research direction of the lunar landing spacecraft department in the past two years and the huge problems it has faced.

Just started.

Jiang He's idea is simple.

Since the United States’ Apollo 11 lunar landing spacecraft successfully completed the manned moon landing project.

So……

China only needs to learn from Apollo 11 and build a Chinese version of the moon landing spacecraft, right?

There's no shame in that.

Because this is the most effective and fastest solution.

then.

After determining this research direction, Jiang He led people to do it.

The design drawings and various data materials of the Apollo 11 lunar landing spacecraft are all sealed at the headquarters of NASA in the United States, and there is definitely no way for Jiang He to obtain them.

However, according to some information disclosed on the Internet and some information obtained through special channels, it is not difficult for Jianghe to imitate Apollo 11.

actually.

The Apollo 11 lunar landing spacecraft can be divided into three parts: the lunar module, the service module, and the return module.

The most essential part is the design of the lunar module.

The Apollo spacecraft lunar landing module adopted a two-module structure, consisting of a descent stage and an ascent stage.

The descent stage is responsible for decelerating and braking to enter the moon landing route, as well as buffering and soft landing on the moon. The main power is a 44.4 kN variable thrust engine.

The ascent stage is a closed cabin in which astronauts ride. After landing on the lunar surface, the ascent stage door opens, and the astronauts climb the gangway and step onto the lunar surface to start work.

After completing the work on the lunar surface, the astronauts returned to the ascent stage, and then the upstage stage's 15.6 kN engine was ignited and took off to enter the lunar orbit to dock with the lunar spacecraft. The astronauts entered the return capsule and returned to the earth, while the descent stage remained on the lunar surface as a relic of the lunar landing.

, the ascent stage will eventually fall to the moon and become a pile of debris.

Based on these data, Jiang He led his team and spent more than two years finally replicating Apollo 11.

But after the test, Jiang He and others were dumbfounded that the manned spacecraft they built did not meet the safety assessment at all.

Afterwards, Jiang He and others discovered the cause of this phenomenon through continuous testing.

This is because many of the technologies used in the Apollo spacecraft were very risky at the time.

If we make an objective assessment now, the reliability assessment is less than 50%, which is very risky. Many structural coefficients are chosen to have very low values, which is a safety risk.

Even though the moon landing spacecraft built by Jiang He and others was designed using current technology, its reliability is still very low.

That is to say.

At that time, when the United States launched Apollo 11, there was a half chance that the two astronauts would not come back.

The United States is gambling.

Bet on the 50% chance.

If you fail and launch again, there will always be times when you are right.

But China cannot do this.

The lives of astronauts cannot be regarded as a bet.

They are not that cruel.

Don’t say there is a 50% chance of failure.

Even if it is 10%, China will not take the risk to try it.

When implementing aerospace engineering.

China always puts the safety of astronauts first.

This is why China has not had any space accidents so far.

but……

Since 50% of the cases are failures, they may be destined not to be passed, so the problem comes to Jiang He's side again.

The safety factor of the imitation version of Apollo 11 did not meet the requirements, which means that the efforts of the previous two years were almost in vain.

The lunar landing spacecraft, especially the lunar landing module department of the lunar landing spacecraft, will definitely need to be redesigned.

However, in terms of time, it can be considered very tight.

Although Jiang He is proud, he is not blindly arrogant.

Jianghe believes that with the capabilities of its own team, it will be difficult to design a lunar landing spacecraft that can achieve manned moon landings and have a high safety factor before 2025.

that's all.

Jiang He chose to turn to Wu Zheng for help.

Wu Zheng recommended Gu Lu to Jiang He.

"...That's pretty much it." Jiang He breathed a long sigh of relief and ended his long speech, "Anyway, the situation we are facing at the moment is quite bad. Too much was used to imitate Apollo 11.

Time, but who knew that a group of people at NASA were so evil-minded that they built a defective ship. The astronauts’ lives were not at stake in this matter! If Armstrong and his teammates hadn’t been lucky back then, maybe they would be safe now.

It has become garbage in the sky!"

Speaking of this matter, Jiang He still grew angrier as he thought about it.

Gu Lu smiled bitterly after hearing this.

Logically speaking, Jiang He's idea is fine.

But no one expected it.

Back then, the United States was so cold-blooded in order to be the first to land on the moon.

"Now is the Internet era, and news spreads very quickly. The United States will definitely not do what it did back then. Therefore, the United States has not had any plans to restart the manned moon landing project in recent years. However, the foundation of the United States

The scientific and technological strength is much stronger than ours, and it is estimated that the research and development of a moon landing spacecraft with extremely high safety factor will be completed earlier than us." Wu Zheng spoke softly from the side.

Gu Lu and Jiang He nodded with heavy expressions.

"What do you need me to do?" Gu Lu raised his head and looked at Jiang He.

"Design the lunar module!" Jiang He spat out a few words without hesitation, "The lunar module is the most complex and critical department in the entire lunar spacecraft. I will leave it to you to design everything in the base.

All resources and equipment are at your disposal."

"The lunar module..." Gu Lu pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "No problem."

Just as Jiang He said, the lunar landing module is the key to a lunar landing spacecraft.

The service module and return module of the lunar landing spacecraft may have some flaws, but the lunar landing module definitely does not.

Because the mission of the lunar module is to transport astronauts to the moon, and after the astronauts complete their survey mission, transport the astronauts back to the lunar landing spacecraft.

Both space and the moon are very dangerous.

In this back-and-forth process, once a small mistake occurs, the personal safety of the astronauts will face a serious threat.
