Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

"Nuclear electric ion thruster? They don't plan to use the Earth-fire transfer orbit?" The European Space Agency and aerospace experts were shocked when they heard this!

They originally thought that Yinghuo would take the Earth-fire transfer orbit and use the Homann orbit to accelerate, and it would take nearly 200 days to reach Mars.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually planned to walk in a straight line! According to the current power system, it is difficult to support the spacecraft to resist Mars normally!

"They actually have new technology!" Everyone at the US Space Agency was also surprised by this.

"If their technology is established, then when they return to Earth, we haven't reached Mars yet?" Everyone looked at each other, realizing a very embarrassing question.

Before setting off, the American Mars spacecraft announced to the world that it would be the first to land on Mars. The launch went smoothly, the flight went smoothly, and we only had to wait until it arrived on Mars six months later to announce the good news - we never expected that the Chinese Mars spacecraft directly adopted a more advanced power system and came from behind!

"I have a bad feeling!" Anderson, the head of the space agency, looked ugly, as if they were going to fall behind this time to land on Mars!

In space, Du Xingyu has completely switched to a nuclear ion propulsion system. The high-temperature ions push the spacecraft forward, and it continuously accelerates the spacecraft.

Without air resistance, the shape of the spacecraft can be completely expanded. From its front and back ends, the solar wings and detectors are deployed respectively. The space in the middle also began to expand, and the size of the spacecraft suddenly more than doubled!

In the footage captured by the satellite, the Yinghuo has transformed into a futuristic and technological spaceship, like an armored superman who has completed his transformation.

"How handsome!" The audience exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"Damn it, can you still transform?"

"This spaceship is amazing!"

"This is called a Mars spaceship. It's much more handsome than the silly cylinder just now!"

…

Sweden, Royal Academy of Sciences. According to Nobel's will, the Nobel physicist will be selected from among the candidates each year.

At this time, members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences were selecting this year's Nobel physicists, and Du Xingyu was one of them that attracted much attention.

"American theoretical cosmologist James Peebles's contributions to theoretical physics are obvious to all. His discoveries allow us to further study the structure of the universe. I nominate him for this year's Nobel Prize in Physics," said a committee member.

“Swiss astronomer Michel Meyer’s discovery of gas giant planets outside our solar system also brought huge changes to astronomy... I nominate Michel.”

"Everyone, the discoveries of the above two people are indeed very important. But here I have to mention Du Xingyu, an aerospace dynamics and astrophysicist from China. His research on miniaturized nuclear reactors and nuclear-powered thrusters has made long-distance navigation in space a reality. ..." said one committee member.

The committee members discussed until someone said: "Oh, everyone, maybe we still underestimated Du Xingyu's research."

"Just now, China launched their Mars spacecraft. This spacecraft uses nuclear power ion thrusters. Humanity's aerospace power has ushered in a big breakthrough!"

"Nuclear power ion thruster?" Some committee members stood up and said in surprise: "Doesn't that mean they can navigate between planets in the solar system?"

"Exactly, Commissioner Leonard."

Everyone was discussing it fiercely and even sent a letter to the Chinese Academy of Engineering for verification.

A few days later, in the Royal Academy of Sciences, the chairman of the Nobel Prize in Physics Award Committee stood on the stage and solemnly announced: "Everyone, the voting results are out!"

"The person who won the Nobel Prize in Physics this year is——" He paused and then said: "Mr. Du Xingyu of China."

“What a young winner!”

"He deserves this honor!"

"You can notify the Chinese Academy of Engineering."

Du Xingyu was confirmed as the winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. The award ceremony will not be held for more than half a year, and that will be after he returns from Mars.

…

A week after the Yinghuo Mars spacecraft entered space, the live TV broadcast and Du Xingyu's live broadcast had ended. Since they were already some distance away from Earth, communications were now beginning to experience delays.

When we get to Mars, the communication delay will expand to more than four minutes, and one question and one answer will take more than eight minutes. This is because the earth and Mars are at similar points on the same side of their orbit around the sun. If they are at the farthest point on different sides, a round-trip communication would take twenty minutes!

"This is the first time I'm so far away from home!" On the spacecraft, astronaut Su Peng looked out the window and sighed.

Outside the window, there is a vast starry sky. Stars from countless light-years away slightly light up the dark and distant space of the universe.

The brightest star in the field of vision is Mars, which reflects the light from the sun and is also the end point of their journey.

"It's beautiful, but also terrifying!" Xu Lianqiu also looked into the space, with stars in his eyes.

On the spacecraft, there were several astronauts who had landed on the moon before, as well as newcomers. They were very excited when they first entered space.

But a week later, it was replaced by curiosity and fear of the unknown.

"Are there aliens in the universe?" Female astronaut Shen Yan suddenly asked.

"There must be!" Du Xingyu affirmed.

"Captain, why are you so sure?" Xu Rui, a researcher on this mission who entered space for the first time, asked.

"The Earth is just an ordinary planet in the solar system. In the Milky Way alone, there are more than 100 billion stars! How many planets are there in these stars?" Du Xingyu said.

"And the Milky Way is just a drop in the ocean of the Virgo Supercluster. The Virgo Supercluster is just an insignificant dot in the observable universe... The vastness of the universe is beyond human imagination."

"Among them, there are many planets with the same conditions as the earth. There must be planets where life and civilization are born. If we further relax the conditions for the birth of life and are not limited to human cognition, then the alien civilization Their existence is almost inevitable! And their number will reach a terrifying number!"

Looking at the deep space of the universe outside the window, everyone fell into reverie.

Xu Lianqiu said: "I believe that there must be other civilizations in the universe. Maybe we can find traces of life on Mars!"

"Yes!" Everyone was excited. If traces of life occur on Mars, it would definitely be a major scientific discovery in the 21st century!

The space voyage continues, and everyone keeps in touch with the command center.

The nuclear ion thruster is still stable, the speed of the spacecraft is steadily increasing, and the straight-line distance between the spacecraft and Mars is rapidly decreasing.

"On the 38th day of the journey to Mars, we can already clearly see this desert planet. Its surface is red. When the ancient Chinese observed it, they described it as 'bright as fire' because its position in the sky often changes. Yingyinghuo, Lili Chaoshuo, so it is also called 'Yinghuo', which is also the origin of our spacecraft's command..." Du Xingyu was writing the voyage log, this habit continued from the age of navigation to the age of space navigation.

"Tomorrow will be the most important day for our team... We will land at Crisis Planitia in the northern hemisphere of Mars."

After writing the diary, Du Xingyu got into his sleeping bag and began to rest.

When he woke up again, the Yinghuo Mars spacecraft had entered the near-Earth space of Mars.
