575: Moon travel plan!
At this moment, his mind was completely focused on the discussion proposal regarding the feasibility policy for the construction of the Guang Han Palace base.
He had informed the Leaders about this matter quite early.
The Leaders were very supportive of Guo Hao's decision.
And stated clearly.
As long as it is technically permissible!
The construction of the Moon base can be approved!
Funding, manpower, and material resources!
Full support!
Gaining the support of the Leaders was also a reassurance for Guo Hao.
With support from above, many things become simpler!
After all, he himself was the director of the reorganized Aerospace Administration.
The head!
When it comes to these matters, his word is final!
These days, Guo Hao began frantically holding meetings.
Beginning discussions with various Scientists on how to construct the Guang Han Palace Moon base.
Including what equipment is needed.
And how to build it.
At the same time.
The Dragon Country Aerospace Administration also directly placed an order for a second spacecraft with Deep Space Technology.
This spacecraft was slightly larger than the dawn, reaching a weight of five hundred tons.
This weight is already quite significant!
If it were over a thousand tons, flying into space from Earth would require thrust that would increase exponentially.
Therefore, if larger spacecraft, weighing thousands or even tens of thousands of tons, are to be built in the future, it is naturally impossible to build them on Earth.
They should be built in space.
At this time, if there were a space elevator, the cost of building spacecraft would be significantly reduced, replaced by a surge in efficiency!
A space elevator...
A hint of contemplation appeared in Guo Hao's eyes.
Guo Hao had thought about this thing when he developed high-strength carbon fiber materials; at that time, he thought this material was most suitable for a space elevator.
However, his work became increasingly busy later on, and he was occupied with many things, never having the time to do this.
He didn't think much about it either, as it wasn't needed at that time anyway.
But now it's different.
Now it seems that this space elevator is likely to be built sooner or later!
It needs to be put on the agenda.
Whew!
Guo Hao gently let out a breath.
Things now are like giving birth to offspring, one matter following another.
And they are all extremely troublesome major projects!
However, Guo Hao didn't mention the matter of the space elevator for the time being.
A very simple issue is the budget.
The budget for building a space elevator is too large; currently, Dragon Country already needs a large budget to build the Guang Han Palace base.
Adding a space elevator would truly require an astronomical budget!
The country cannot allocate so much budget at the same time.
What's more crucial is the location.
Due to the Coriolis effect, the most suitable place to build a space elevator is actually on the equator.
The most suitable location for the large space elevator Guo Hao wants to build is not in Dragon Country.
This is also a troublesome matter!
Therefore, Guo Hao is not in a hurry about this matter.
The most important thing is still the issue of building the Guang Han Palace base.
As time went by.
Half a month later, the technology for melting lunar soil into bricks matured.
"Professor Guo, in terms of hardness, this type of brick even far exceeds bricks on Earth, because it contains a large amount of various metallic substances, all melted into a brick under extremely high temperatures.
Therefore, to some extent, this thing can also be considered a metal brick!"
The Engineer next to him said with a face full of smiles, looking at Guo Hao.
"How is the development of the automated equipment for melting this type of brick progressing?"
Guo Hao asked, looking at the Engineer.
"This is simple. Our current brick-making machine assembly lines in Dragon Country already have similar capabilities. We just need to miniaturize and modify them.
It's easy to make them!"
The Engineer said with a smile.
"Look over there."
The Engineer pointed to the side.
"This is the automatic lunar soil brick melting machine we developed. We built it specifically for Moon missions."
Guo Hao nodded.
"Well done."
He said approvingly to the Engineer beside him.
Hearing Guo Hao's praise, the Engineer was somewhat at a loss.
"I just did a small, insignificant amount of work, it's nothing compared to you..."
Looking at the bewildered Engineer, Guo Hao smiled and gently patted the Engineer's shoulder.
"If only I alone were doing things, this country could never develop. No matter how capable I am, I am ultimately just one person.
Although the work I do is cutting-edge, it is ultimately only a small part. In specific tasks, the things you do are always much more than what I do!
I don't think there is anything about you that is inferior to me!"
Guo Hao's words were truly heartfelt; he genuinely believed this!
History is ultimately the history of the people!
Top Scientists like him who possess the System are also part of the people themselves!
Without him, Science would still develop, it might just develop a bit slower!
Guo Hao's appearance merely slightly accelerated this process, that's all!
One cannot think they are superior just because they are doing cutting-edge work!
Guo Hao did not have this idea!
"You are right!"
The Engineer looked at Guo Hao with adoring eyes.
Guo Hao: "..."
So I said all that for nothing?
Guo Hao felt slightly helpless.
"Never mind, I'm going to look at other places. You can take another look here and see if anything needs to be modified."
Guo Hao said to the Engineer.
"Alright! Take care!"
After speaking, Guo Hao left.
He then went to a few other factories and roughly checked the construction status of some other instruments for the Guang Han Palace base.
It wasn't particularly good.
They also encountered some issues, but they could all be resolved!
About two months later.
The Guang Han Palace base construction plan was finally made public at the Aerospace Administration's press conference!
"...... We will build a high-standard Moon Palace base, named the Guang Han Palace Moon base. This base is just the first base we are building on the Moon.
After this, there are plans to build two more bases, Tian Gong and Moon Palace.
At the same time, the permanent staff for the Guang Han Palace base are also being selected!
Furthermore! After the construction of the Guang Han Palace base is completed, commercial projects related to the Guang Han Palace base, such as the Moon Palace One-Day Tour plan, will also be launched simultaneously. At that time, everyone around the world can purchase tickets to visit and explore the Moon Palace base..."
The amount of information released at this press conference even far exceeded the amount of information released during the initial crewed Moon landing!
"Holy crap!!!!"
"Moon Palace tourism!"
"Holy crap! Guang Han Palace base!"
"This is too awesome! In my lifetime! Holy crap!"
"We can also travel to the Moon? No way! It feels like a dream!"
"Stop dreaming! Didn't you see that they are accepting tourists from all over the world? By then, a single ticket will likely be speculated to cost several million, or even tens of millions!"
