Jiang Yan Hai's decision will actually be based on the final detection results. In the third month after Jiang Yan Hai and the others entered Daqin to research the primary star gate, the first repeatable return lunar module was built, and a total of three astronauts will go to the moon of this world.
In fact, no one thought that the first domestic moon landing was not on the moon of their own world, but on the moon of the Great Qin world.
The area they are currently in is Tianhuo Satellite Launch Center, which is about 150 kilometers away from the Star Gate. It is named Skyfire because a long canyon nearby is called Skyfire in this world.
That canyon should have been formed by the fall of meteorites tens of millions of years ago.
Tianhuo Satellite Launch Center, the one that performed this flight mission is Long March 20 Heavy-Thrust Launch Vehicle. It has the largest thrust among the current Long March series, and it also has the largest carrying capacity.
However, the Long March series is no longer ready to continue development. As for why, just look at the entire Tianhuo Satellite Launch Center to know that the construction here is different from all traditional domestic satellite launch centers.
What is built here is more like a large airport.
Moreover, the runway and the huge landing area here are extremely large, which is to prepare for the first domestic Space Shuttle in the future. Its longest runway is 10 kilometers long, and unlike other Space Shuttles, it does not need any other aircraft to take off on its back, it can directly taxi to take off on its own.
Moreover, it is also the first nuclear-powered space shuttle in China. It uses new special materials and completely solves problems such as nuclear radiation.
Its Nuclear Reactor and chemical dye for auxiliary thrust can allow it to fly around the moon and then come back autonomously.
Of course, you need to shut down the engine and rely on inertial flight during this process.
However, this is still the most advanced aircraft in human history. Of course, because of this, its size is also huge.
It is larger than the largest and latest domestic transport aircraft, and its wings do not use the wings of traditional civil aviation aircraft in order to be strong. Instead, they use a tail delta wing similar to that of a fighter jet. The entire fuselage is like a huge triangle.
Coupled with the most advanced wing-body fusion technology and materials, such a body structure is extremely strong and can withstand partial maneuvering overloads at speeds up to Mach 10. Of course, this does not mean that it can maneuver at such a high speed, but to avoid problems with the engine, which may cause the body to maneuver and cause fractures and other problems.
Its fuselage structure is arguably the strongest in human history.
However, because of Nuclear Power, its load capacity is not too large, at least not comparable to the current Long March 20 launch vehicle, but it can be reused, and the fuel and Nuclear Power make it much cheaper.
The Long March 20 launch vehicle is a one-time use, so there is a huge gap between the two.
However, this Space Shuttle still needs to be tested several times, although its body structure has been simulated in Pangu System countless times.
This Space Shuttle has been officially named Crane. The biggest difference between it and the foreign Space Shuttle is that it can take off at any time to perform tasks like a civil aviation aircraft, and can return at any time with its own power.
However, it is not needed for the time being, so the first mission is carried out by the Long March 20 launch vehicle.
The Long March 20 was actually developed for Mars exploration. The satellite itself has certain flight capabilities, and it will not completely separate from the landing module after leaving the earth's atmosphere. Its three-stage rocket will carry the landing module all the way to lunar orbit.
Then the landing module is released to carry the astronauts to the lunar surface, and then the relevant lunar soil and other resources are collected on the lunar surface and returned to the landing module. Then the landing module lifts off, and then connects to the rocket above the orbit. Finally, the rocket propels the landing module back to the earth's orbit.
When it reaches the earth's orbit, the last section of the rocket will completely lose its function, and only the landing module will return to the ground.
However, although it is also a landing cabin, the size of this landing cabin and the supplies it can carry are much larger.
Although there are only three astronauts this time, the entire landing module can carry nearly 10 tons of lunar minerals back. This alone shows its size and its advanced nature.
And it can also ensure the safety of astronauts to the greatest extent.
The lunar plan was implemented very quickly. On the day of the launch of the rocket and satellite, Jiang Yan Hai and the others rushed to the launch site. In fact, there was nothing to say about the launch process. The entire launch went very smoothly.
And what's different from previous moon landing plans is that they had to first enter the earth's orbit, then fly around the earth's orbit for more than ten hours to find the most suitable angle before flying to the moon.
What is different this time is that because technology has advanced so much and the fuel on the rocket is extremely sufficient, the rocket will go straight to the moon after leaving the earth, eliminating other ways, and the speed of the aircraft during the flight to the moon will be far higher than before.
According to the current overall plan, it only takes about 50 hours for the rocket to arrive in lunar orbit from launch to entry.
So the overall plan can be completed in about 7 days.
In other words, after 7 days, they will roughly know whether there is helium 3 in the moon of this world.
However, Jiang Yan Hai feels that there is at least an 80-90% probability of it happening, because the moon's environment is very similar to that of the earth.
The seven days basically passed by in a flash, and the landing module returned to the ground smoothly. Jiang Yan Hai and the others did not participate. Professionals were responsible for analyzing the minerals.
And the good news came quickly. On the day the landing module returned, Jiang Yan Hai and the others received the latest news. As expected, there was helium 3 on the moon of this world! And not only that, it seems that the reserves are even greater than those on the other side of the earth!
And it's not just helium 3. There are also many extremely rare and precious minerals on the moon. You must know that there are some minerals that are not found on the earth and are extremely rare in Daqin. However, these minerals are very abundant on the moon of Daqin!
After analyzing the data, Jiang Yan Hai and the others immediately made a decision.
Everything must be carried out in accordance with the latest technical information. After knowing such results, Jiang Yan Hai and the others immediately decided to directly build the second-generation Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor.
