Chapter 848 I'll Go
Through the data transmitted back by the Mars rover, Xu You basically confirmed that there is a high probability that life has existed on Mars, which has brought human understanding of biology into a new realm.
If manned landing on Mars is possible, it will be easier to study Mars and gain a deeper understanding of the traces of life .
From a strategic perspective, Mars is also very useful as another base for the Blue Star civilization to resist the possible impact of Proxima Centauri civilization.
"Old Hu, I believe that with these latest research results, the Shenzhou Space Agency will definitely change its mind about manned landing on Mars."
"Yes, Lao Xu, the situation is indeed completely different from before. In fact, I have already made some plans for the manned landing on Mars. I came here today to discuss related matters with you."
When Xu You just proposed to set up a project team to study life on Mars, Hu Shucheng learned the relevant information, but did not communicate directly with Xu You.
Seeing that Hu Shucheng had similar ideas to his own, Xu You continued to discuss with Hu Shucheng.
Speaking of which, although human space technology has made a leap forward compared to before, it is impossible to directly copy previous technology when it comes to manned landing on Mars.
Because of the uniqueness of the Martian environment, if you want to conduct exploration activities on the surface of Mars, it is best to use spacecraft and spacesuits specially made for Mars.
Although the Shenzhou Space Agency already has general spacecraft and space suit technology, which is theoretically fully suitable for the exploration of any planet, this kind of universal equipment is still less efficient in comparison and is more suitable for directly landing on planets that we know nothing about.
As for Mars, humans are not completely ignorant of it, but our understanding is relatively limited. We can still manufacture more suitable spacecraft, space suits and other equipment.
"For the subsequent manned landing on Mars, I suggest that we use a combination of aerospace fighters and landers instead of letting aerospace fighters land directly on Mars. Otherwise, even if they can land smoothly, taking off again may be a problem."
"Yes, Old Xu, I think so too. In addition, I still hope to independently research a new model of Martian space suit, while ensuring safety, try to save some redundant parts, and customize it completely around the Martian environment..."
In this way, Xu You and Hu Shucheng discussed for several hours without even a break.
The manned landing plan on Mars involves a lot of content, and it is impossible to discuss all the details in a few hours. After some communication, Xu You and Hu Shucheng only decided on some major plans.
"By the way, Lao Hu, if there are manned landings on Mars this time, I hope I can be one of the first to go. If I go there in person, I can better understand the traces of life on Mars, which will be of great help to our subsequent research."
After hearing Xu You's words, Hu Shucheng waved his hands and said:
"Old Xu, I suggest you don't go in the first group. After all, Mars is a planet we haven't conquered yet, and it's far less safe than the moon. You experienced such a dangerous thing on the moon that time, and I don't want the same thing to happen again."
"No, Lao Hu, something like what happened on the moon will never happen again. And you also know that my physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people. Even if someone wants to hurt me deliberately, it is difficult for me to lose my life."
Hu Shucheng had also heard about Xu You taking nanorobots, and knew that Xu You's current body was no longer that of an ordinary person. However, Hu Shucheng did not think that Xu You could safely go on an adventure to Mars just because he owned such a planet.
"Old Xu, it's not just this one thing. I know that with your ability, you are capable of surviving even in the most difficult environment. However, the transportation from Blue Star to Mars is not systematic now. If you, Xu You, go to Mars in person, I don't know how many days it will take to come back. During this period, there may be many things on Blue Star that need you to deal with."
After hearing what Hu Shucheng said, Xu You also began to feel that he was indeed not suitable to be one of the first astronauts to go to the moon.
Now is a critical stage in the development of Blue Star civilization. In addition, Blue Star civilization is facing the risk of invasion by Proxima Centauri civilization. Many important project tasks need Xu You to handle.
If Xu You goes to Mars, it will inevitably affect the progress of these tasks.
"Old Hu, what you said does make sense, but the significance of this manned exploration of Mars is indeed very significant... Forget it, I'll go there again when the technology is more mature and the transportation system is more convenient."
After weighing the pros and cons, Xu You reluctantly gave up his idea and decided to temporarily .
"Well, at least you shouldn't go for the first time. So, Lao Xu, I am willing to be one of the first astronauts to land on Mars, as long as the organization agrees. I can do my best to help you complete the work you want to do, Lao Xu, you can still trust me, right?"
"Of course, Lao Hu, at least in the field of aerospace, you are definitely the person I trust the most. Let's just leave it at that for now. As long as you want to fight for this opportunity, I think you are fully qualified to be the candidate."
Over the years, Hu Shucheng has not only focused his energy on the research of various aerospace technologies.
Hu Shucheng also used his spare time to participate in professional astronaut training and is now qualified to become a professional astronaut.
In addition to Hu Shucheng's rich accumulation of aerospace knowledge, he is fully qualified to become one of the first astronauts to land on Mars.
"Okay, Lao Xu, that's all for today. I should go back to the Shenzhou Space Agency."
"Okay, Lao Hu, let's get together again when we have the chance, and keep in touch anytime."
After watching Hu Shucheng leave, Xu You felt a little uncertain.
Xu You had to admit that Hu Shucheng's advice to him was very pertinent and that he was indeed not suitable to be the first group to go to Mars at this time.
Xu You also knew that Hu Shucheng's decision to go to Mars on his behalf was definitely not for any fame. After all, this matter was full of risks, and Hu Shucheng was not someone who cared about fame.
However, Xu You could not dispel his anticipation for planetary exploration.
