Chapter 318 From 1g to 1731g
Everyone had different feelings after seeing this tweet.
"This time, our aerospace technology has really impressed the whole world. Even NASA has to admire the strength of our technology. I hope our aerospace industry can continue to flourish and stand at the top of the world as soon as possible!"
"Why should we provide our technology to NASA for free? Are you worried that the gap between us and NASA is not big enough?"
"I don't think it's necessary. Satellites don't fall down many times a year, and most of the Earth is ocean, so it's basically impossible for one to hit a person. As long as we make sure our satellites don't fall, why should we care about their satellites?"
"I think this is the magnanimity of a great country. When it comes to the issue of a shared future for mankind, we cannot be too concerned about small gains and losses. After all, if something like this happens again, it will be disadvantageous to everyone."
"The probability of this happening is indeed very small, but it is said that the previous Soviet satellite lost control due to intense solar activity. This may not be accidental, and when a satellite loses control, it is likely to break into multiple fragments and fall down, which is still dangerous."
After seeing the tweet from NASA, Xu You and Hu Shucheng were also discussing this matter.
"Haha, I guess I got it right. They didn't really thank us from the bottom of their hearts. They even said they hoped we could share more technology with them. It's like feeding a dog with meat buns. Will the dog be grateful? Not necessarily. Maybe it will continue to bark at you. If you don't continue to feed it, it will bite you."
Xu You smiled lightly when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter. If they really dare to bite us, let them have a taste of the power of the dog-beating stick."
Xu You didn't expect them to give us anything in return, so he didn't care too much about it.
At the same time, Xu You made a secret decision in his heart.
If you really need to participate in the research of some more threatening projects.
Xu You would also join in without hesitation.
Xu You knew that the purpose of researching these technologies was not to attack anyone.
It's just to strengthen our own strength so that they won't dare to attack us.
"This reminds me of the tweet they sent after the successful launch of Chang'e 5. They didn't even congratulate us, but just wanted us to share our data with scientists around the world and brought up the Apollo incident."
Hu Shucheng was filled with indignation when he said this, and his eyes were full of anger.
"I remember that they did share with us the lunar samples they brought back, but it was only 1g, right?"
"Yes, only 1g. The main purpose of giving us this 1g sample is not to help us study the moon, but to test our technological level. However, it is through this precious 1g sample that we have achieved many research results."
"Yes, then our Chang'e 5 brought back 1,731 grams of lunar samples. This time we had enough samples to study and we didn't have to wait for their donations. Likewise, this time it was their turn to envy us, and various applications came in like a tide."
Xu You and Hu Shucheng both felt very proud when they thought of the great progress our motherland has made over the years.
And now, they have fulfilled their childhood dreams and are using their own strength to contribute to the development of their motherland.
CNSA did not respond after NASA sent out that tweet.
NASA originally thought that CNSA simply had not had time to respond.
It was not until a few days later that they were sure that CNSA might not intend to pay any attention to them at all.
This indifferent attitude has made NASA somewhat embarrassed.
"Why didn't they respond to us?" Robert asked puzzled.
Even if he was directly rejected by CNSA, Robert would not be as depressed as he is now.
"Director Robert, perhaps our performance does not seem to be sincere. In addition to verbal thanks, we should give them some real technology in return. As far as we know, the aerospace systems of other countries such as the Soviet Union have given back technology of equal value to CNSA."
"That's true. Let's do the same."
Even though there are many other conflicts, the bald eagle and the Russian bear have officially reached a new cooperation in the field of aerospace.
Compared with the Russian bear, the relationship between the bald eagle and the rabbit is not that tense.
It is also very possible to carry out deeper cooperation in the future.
After some discussion, NASA decided to give some technologies that had certain value, but not that much, to CNSA in return.
After receiving these technologies from NASA, CNSA couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Because most of these technologies are from decades ago.
Even decades ago, the Bald Eagle's aerospace capabilities were very strong and were able to accomplish such feats as manned moon landings.
However, after all, this is a technology that was achieved with the efforts of the entire country, and the cost is too high.
Now it seems a bit outdated.
But no matter what, these technologies still have certain reference value.
CNSA expressed a very official thank you to NASA but did not say anything more.
After this storm ended, Xu You and others continued to focus on the research of new satellite solar arrays.
Because before the Soviet satellite lost control, these tasks had already reached the final stage.
Under Xu You's guidance, these tasks were completed quickly.
"After testing, our new flexible solar array has many advantages, including high mass-to-power ratio, high storage ratio, easy expansion, and mass production. This technology has also reached the level of application in the next generation of 6G satellites."
Everyone is very satisfied with the progress of this work.
Xu You did not rest on his laurels and enjoy his success, but did not forget to summarize some areas for further improvement.
"Our modular components have a sufficient lifespan under normal use, but if they are exposed to high-temperature alternating conditions for a long time, their lifespan is still relatively limited. The material of the flexible substrate also has room for further improvement in terms of density, storage ratio, curling thermal stability and other properties..."
Xu You also knew that it would take a longer time to make further breakthroughs in these areas.
Xu You will continue to research related technologies.
“Thank you Professor Xu for your contribution to the project. When the next generation of satellite is officially launched, Professor Xu must come to watch the launch!”
Thinking about that day, Xu You is now excited.
