Chapter 263 Humans need to live on Mars
Looking at Musk's pretty face, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.
Elon Musk.
When you mention this person, you can think of a series of keywords that you know about him.
Tesla, Spacex, Falcon 9, the real version of Iron Man, and... Mars Colonial!
In major public occasions, Musk has announced his crazy plan more than once - to send humans to Mars by 2024! and to establish a colony so that human civilization can completely live on Mars.
Some people support this "delusion", but some praise it, but more of it is ridiculed and disdainful.
But Chen Yu, since he learned about Musk's deeds, he has believed in this "delusion".
A year ago, in order to argue with Li Liang, he also specially analyzed the development timetable of Spacex and used it as a theoretical support for his own BB.
This is also one of the few experiences that Chen Yu has ever taken the initiative to learn.
In 2002, Musk founded Spacex and announced the design, manufacturing, and launch of advanced rockets and spacecraft to the world, comprehensively changing existing space technology and allowing humans to survive on other planets.
What I got was naturally unanimous ridicule from the official to the public.
In 2005, Spacex employees reached 150. But they were still in the "preparation" stage and had not launched anything, even a monkey who was flying into the sky.
This time, some people lacked the interest in ridicule, and only contempt.
It is similar to the first car with a speed of 4 kilometers per hour in the 18th century...
Next, the six-year-old Spacex company seemed to finally reach Level 6, acquired R skills, and began a terrifying development speed!
In 2008, the Falcon 1 rocket was successfully launched!
Become the first private company in human history to successfully launch a liquid rocket!
In 2009, the satellite was successfully sent into orbit.
In 10 years, the Dragon Cargo Ship entered low orbit and was successfully recycled.
In 11 years, the company's market value exceeded US$1 billion.
In 13 years, under the criticism of civilian and launch alliances, the mid-orbit SES-8 satellite was successfully launched.
In 15 years, the high-orbit satellite was launched and the Falcon 9 rocket was successfully recovered!
This is also the first time in human history that the used rockets were brought back to Earth intact. The whole world was in an uproar.
In 2018, a Tesla sports car was sent into orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
In 19 years, it became the provider of launch vehicles with the strongest launch capability and lowest cost on Earth, and almost robbed satellite launch contracts from all space powers including Jianguo, Huaxia, Maoguo, Japan, etc....
Until now, the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) has begun designing and construction, and is expected to send two cargo spacecraft to Mars in 2022.
It is expected that in 24 years, the manned spacecraft fleet will be launched and a large-scale landing on Mars...
Although Musk's imagination in 2024 seems a bit exaggerated to Chen Yu, he has always been convinced that Musk will definitely do all this in his lifetime.
Now, Chen Yu is preparing to advance this time three years to allow humans to permanently settle on Mars and achieve planetary colonization achievements! Satisfy his and Musk’s dreams.
It is also the dream of countless astronomical enthusiasts around the world!
At this point, Chen Yu looked at Musk up and down and started straight to the point: "My man, I said it before, are you interested in cooperation?"
"What cooperation?" Musk is an extremely intelligent person. From Chen Yu's behavior and tone, he vaguely guessed the truth, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Martian colonization." Chen Yu smiled.
Musk suffered cardiac arrest and his eyes almost turned into copper bells.
When the others in the space capsule heard this, they also looked at Chen Yu with horror.
Especially the director of the China Aerospace Academy and engineer Mao Guo, the normal standing posture has changed.
"Fire... Mars colonization?"
Clenched his fists, Musk tried hard to calm down and said seriously: "What kind of large colonies?"
"Of course." Chen Yu nodded: "The colony of a few people with a dozen people is too small. I have a water spray transmitter and a portal in the star system, so I naturally have to build a big one. How about it? Are you interested in such cooperation?"
"have!"
Musk did not hesitate at all: "Very interested."
"Very good. Then let's make a verbal decision on the cooperation. I will take some time to invite you to the floating castle for details. Let's talk about the establishment of the colony and enter the city."
"You said." Musk bent down slightly, his posture low.
"First of all, I will connect to the Mars orbit with a portal, directly send a few of your reconnaissance satellites to find water sources and suitable stationing points." Chen Yu's thoughts were clear and he talked freely: "After finding the landing point, transporting a large number of cargo, equipment and operators, establishing a series of buildings such as residential compartments, training compartments, scientific research compartments, collection sites, propellant factories, solar nuclear fission power generation modules, etc.."
"How long will your portal last for us?" Musk asked the key point.
"Only twice." Chen Yu stretched out his two fingers: "One is used to release satellites, and one is used to transport supplies for you. This is enough. I can't be a nanny. The Earth and Mars orbit are synchronized every two years. In 2021, your spacex company will only have to wait for a year. The Big Falcon Rocket can transport supplies into Mars, which is exactly in line with your plan."
"..." Musk was silent, and calculated quickly in his mind for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Enough! If [Earth Spray] can also be used by our company, it doesn't need to wait for the orbit to be synchronized. The supply of materials will definitely be self-sufficient."
"Okay." Chen Yu stretched out his hand: "That's it."
"Thank you very much!" Musk shook hands quickly and suppressed his excitement: "I promise that it will take no three years to build a colonial city on Mars!"
"Wang...Mr. Wang..."
At this time, the president of the China Aerospace Academy on the side finally couldn't help it: "Can our Chinese side also participate?"
"And our Mao Fang!"
"Gao…Is there a chance for Google, too?"
"No, not even." Chen Yu waved his hand: "This cooperation is not a matter of any of you. Who made you not active in developing space? Now, if you see pure profits, go ahead?"
The three of the reward group were immediately embarrassed and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Besides, there are so many forces around the world. I will open the door to open satellites for you one by one, find a place, and when will you be busy transporting materials? If you want to be a colony, you can launch your own launch pad. Whoever can build it is their own ability."
“This topic is now aborted.”
As he said that, Chen Yu turned around and looked out the window with his back to everyone: "Yeah, can you see outside?"
The five people who watched the fun in the barrage group immediately came to their senses when they heard this, and hurriedly lay in front of the window to see the view outside the cabin.
"oh……"
“perfect!”
"きれいだ...(so beautiful)"
At a height of 70,000 meters, the arc of the earth is already very obvious.
The deep space above is covered with a glass-shaped gauze, crystal clear and black.
The white clouds and blue ocean below are like gems, shining brightly.
The two are extremely echoing, so beautiful that they exceed the extreme presentation of text...
"It's almost time to take off the second phase, right?"
Looking through his head, Chen Yu looked at the turbulent sea water below and opened the live broadcast room again to receive the radio: "The audience has been waiting for a long time. It won't take long. The second phase of the launch will begin. After the end, this review will come to an end. There is nothing to watch in terms of landing, it's just opening the space capsule parachute and landing regularly..."
"Forehead?"
The old engineer Mao Guo who was standing beside him was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously said, "Parameter? Where did the parachute come from that space capsule that has not been completed?"
Chen Yu: "?!"
Live room viewer: "?!!"
Chapter completed!
