The successful launch of the Xinghai Group's Xinghuan-1 manned rocket set off a craze among domestic teenagers who love aerospace technology.

Mu Yang also asked the company's publicity department to compile a popular science material to introduce relevant aerospace science and technology knowledge. He commissioned printing factories across the country to print it and planned to distribute it to teenagers across the country for free. This measure alone cost Xinghai Group a lot of money.

But all this, Mu Yang feels, is well worth the money, to guide young people correctly and make them love technology instead of chasing those traffic stars.

Then, just two days later, Mu Yang decided to hold the first Xinghai Group National Youth Science and Technology Competition every two years, which is divided into junior high school and high school. The competition projects include robotics, programming, electronics, mathematical modeling, physics and other ten categories.

There will be special prizes, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth... ninth prize, no limit to the number of places.

Only those who enter the national finals can win the special, first, second and third prizes. The bonuses are one million yuan, five hundred thousand yuan, three hundred thousand yuan and one hundred thousand yuan respectively. There is no limit on the number of places. The prizes are based on the creativity and technical difficulty of the project.

, implementation plans, results presentations, etc. will be evaluated, with scientific researchers from Xinghai Group serving as judges.

In addition to monetary rewards, after graduating from college, you can skip the screening stage and enter the interview stage with special, first, and second prizes. You may even be admitted directly by exception.

Those who enter the provincial finals can win the fourth, fifth, and sixth prizes, with rewards of 50,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan respectively. There is no limit to the number of places.

Entering the city finals, you can win the seventh, eighth, and ninth prizes, with rewards of 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan, and 3,000 yuan respectively. There is no limit to the number of places.

There is no limit to the number of places, but the evaluation method is the same. The final selection results must be reviewed by Xinghai Group first, and the rewards will be officially issued after review and approval.

In addition to practical practice, science and technology competitions also need to assess relevant knowledge. Theoretical knowledge accounts for a certain proportion of the score. For example, participating in robot design and racing requires assessment of this knowledge.

Xinghai Group encourages students to attach importance to technology, but also to the application of theoretical knowledge. In the competition, although the score of theoretical knowledge only accounts for 20%, if you want to win the prize, you must pass the theoretical knowledge, otherwise you will be downgraded.

If there is fraud, the number of quotas obtained by the province and city will be reduced in the future.

Moreover, in the national finals, there is a defense process, and it is not easy for students to fake and win awards.

In order to promote the development of science and technology, Xinghai Group has invested heavily in this national youth science and technology competition, and has also formulated various rules. For example, when students win awards, there are regulations on how much the school and instructors can get from this award.

After Muyang's competition plan was announced, people across the country were hotly discussing it and it became the focus of public opinion.

Relevant departments have also issued relevant documents advocating the promotion of this competition and recommending that schools actively promote it.

Universities that cooperate with Xinghai Group also feel that this technology competition is very good. After all, such a big reward is no worse than the Olympiad.

For example, Jiangsu and Zhejiang University announced that if they win the national final award of the Xinghai Group National Youth Science and Technology Competition, they will take care of their admissions, such as extra points and even recommended admission.

Those who can be recommended for admission have a very high probability of being hired by Xinghai Group. For the school, this means recruiting a student who has received employment guarantee before enrolling. The school is very happy. After all, the graduation wish of Jiangzhe University is to enter

Working for Xinghai Group is not easy.

This measure of Xinghai Group has also affected the hobbies of the new generation of students.

Nowadays, there is an additional technology option for children in the city to sign up for art, calligraphy, dance and other talent and interest classes, and they are more promising.

Not long after Xinghai Group announced this plan, many parents asked local interest training classes for training in this area.

Now, Xinghai Group's influence has penetrated into all walks of life and affected people's lives.

Two days later,

Xinghai Group showed a video of the daily life of astronauts on the Star Halo Space Station.

The outside world has always been curious about what the interior of the Halo Space Station is like and how the astronauts live there.

Walking in space is difficult, and running is difficult to achieve.

The Star Ring Space Station has a large internal space. There are two one-way slide rails installed on the passage between the inner and outer rings, on which smart scooters can be placed.

The scooter is about the same size as an adult skateboard. It is equipped with a lithium battery and drives the motor to rotate, thereby gliding on the slide rail.

Sound cannot be transmitted through a vacuum, but the interior of the space station is not in a vacuum state. Its environmental control and life support systems imitate the Earth's atmospheric environment. The atmospheric pressure, atmospheric composition, temperature, humidity, etc. inside the spacecraft are all close to those of the Earth. The above can be spread through media.

The astronaut's feet are stuck on the buckle of the scooter, and he can control the speed of the scooter with voice control or a hand-held remote control. The fastest set speed can reach 8 meters per second.

Of course, this is definitely not the upper speed limit of the scooter, it is just a restriction for the safety of personnel.

The diameter of the tunnel of the Star Ring Space Station reaches 180 meters and the circumference is about 565 meters. It takes 70 seconds to glide around at the fastest speed.

But if there is no scooter, it will be much more troublesome and it will probably take several times longer.

Astronaut Luo Xiang showed how to use the scooter. He said: "Without this scooter, it would be very troublesome to walk without gravity.

In the past few days, with this scooter, it has been much easier for us to walk.

Of course, we also have smart iron-attracting shoes, which can actually walk after wearing them. I am very grateful to our colleagues in the company for designing such a user-friendly tool."

The first floor of the space station is four meters high, and a single room can be up to ten meters long, making it very spacious.

In the video, Luo Xiang was gliding slowly while introducing the internal situation. He first came to the door of a gym, stopped the scooter, and stepped off it.

He was wearing iron-sucking shoes and stepping on the floor of the room. The floor was inlaid with a 1 mm aluminum plate. There was a 2 mm thick "iron" layer sandwiched between the aluminum plates. This iron was not carbon steel, but martensite. Stainless steel can be "magnetic".

The gym consists of several rooms put together, with an area of ​​up to 200 square meters. It has a complete range of training equipment, and many people don't know it.

"We have to spend an hour or two every day training to ensure that human muscles do not atrophy. There are many facilities on the space station, the space is large, and the living is very comfortable, but the food is a bit inconvenient and there is no hot pot."

After Luo Xiang introduced the gym, he came to the agricultural planting area. The internal area is about a few hundred square meters and there are many closed glass houses.

"This is the focus of our experiment. Due to limited manpower, we plan to first plant tens of square meters of vegetables in a greenhouse.

It is very difficult to grow plants in space, and you will encounter many problems, such as light, gravity, air, moisture, temperature, nutrition and pests and diseases."

"The intensity and frequency of light in space are different from those on earth, and ours is indoors, so we cannot use space lighting. We need to use a special lighting system to simulate lighting conditions suitable for plant growth. The power sources used in the lighting system are all solar energy.

,For now, this aspect is not a problem.”

“In terms of air, we need to use an artificial air circulation system to provide plants with necessary gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide;

Water resources are treated water used by the space station to supplement the water needed by plants.

It has to be said that water is very scarce in space. We cannot collect water from space and transport it directly from the earth. All water used by the space station must be recycled. Our space station has a sewage treatment system that goes through multiple processes.

Reuse later.

Some friends may be very curious about whether it is possible to take a shower in space and whether the frequency of showering is high.

We can take a bath if we have it. If it is not necessary, we should wash it as little as possible, but we cannot take a bath casually like at home.

Our chairman once told us that if we can’t even take a comfortable bath on the space station, it means that our space station still needs a lot of improvements.”

The astronaut pointed to the glass greenhouse in front of him and said: "This greenhouse is controlled by a constant temperature. The soil is somewhat special. It is mixed with plant nutrient solution that plants need to provide necessary nutrients for plants and ensure that plants grow faster."

"Right now, we have two main problems. The first is the lack of natural enemies of pests and diseases in space. Although special pest control systems can be used to protect plants from pests and diseases, our hope is to form a natural ecosystem.

,This is the research direction we want to delve into;

The second problem, of course, is the issue of gravity. Artificial gravity equipment needs to be used to simulate gravity conditions suitable for plant growth, otherwise it will affect the growth and development of plants.

You can imagine that if there is no gravity, the tomatoes grown may be different from those on the earth.

Even if they look the same, the quality will be greatly affected.

Planting in space is a difficult problem. If we can really achieve it, we won't need to supplement food from the ground.

Now, we have just started this project and hope it will be successful."

After introducing the planting area, let’s introduce the bathing room that everyone is more curious about.

Of course, the shower room in space is different from the one on earth. It is a closed space.

When taking a bath, special equipment is needed to generate artificial gravity to prevent water from floating in the air and from running out of the bathroom, so it must be sealed.

Xinghai Group put a lot of thought into developing this special shower room. Therefore, it is impossible to realize an independent shower room on the space station, but it must be shared by multiple people.

"We use high-pressure water to clean the body, and there are water-absorbing equipment around the shower room to prevent water and soapy water from floating in the air.

After taking a shower, we need to dry our bodies with wet wipes to avoid water droplets floating in the air.

Our dirty clothes can be washed in a special washing machine. You may not have imagined that there is a washing machine in the space station.

The sewage after bathing and washing clothes will be collected, and after filtering and disinfection, it can be used again for life and work, or for planting."

Astronaut Luo Xiang mainly introduced these interesting things in daily life, and Xinghai Group released these videos that can be made public.

Not only ordinary people, but also colleagues could not imagine that Xinghai Group was so advanced in space station technology, and thought it was just an empty shelf.

Mu Yang is also troubled by the gravity problem in space. The gravity technology of the level 7 reading system cannot meet his needs. It seems that he will have to wait until level 8.

If there is no level 8 system store, the rewards for desert greening include gravity technology rewards. The premise is that one thousand square kilometers of desert greening must be completed.

However, Mu Yang could only choose one of four options, a new energy technology, artificial gravity technology, two sets of Iron Man nano-suits, and two sets of Spider-Man suits.

What Mu Yang wants most is a nano-suit. Even if the reading system reaches level 8 or even level 9, this kind of suit may not be able to be manufactured. It is completely a product of human fantasy in science fiction movies.

And artificial gravity technology is indeed a product of science fiction, and it may not be available from the 8th-level reading system.

Considering his own safety, Mu Yang still prefers nano-suits. Without artificial gravity technology, the development of science and technology will at best be delayed.

But if human life is gone, then it is really gone.

One year ago, the greening team completed 150 square kilometers of desert planting.

Now, the number of people in the greening team has increased a lot, and a lot of smart equipment has been added. The planting efficiency is much faster, and 2,500 square kilometers of greening have been completed.

However, this green land has not yet become a vibrant and vital ecosystem, so it cannot receive rewards from the system.

Mu Yang estimates that it will take another two years if we go quickly, and that's if there is sufficient water resources.

The east-to-west water diversion project has been under construction for more than a year and is still far from the target of being put into use.

Back to the topic,

If Mu Yang really develops artificial gravity technology, it will be of great use.

Not to mention the entire space station application, it can be applied in the control center, canteen, and shower room, making work more convenient and allowing you to eat normally like on earth.

Therefore, "being able to eat hot pot" has become Mu Yang's next goal.

Therefore, an important task in the next few years is to upgrade the reading system to level 8.

More than five years have passed since I was upgraded to level 7 on January 1, 2014, and the three upgrade requirements are progressing relatively smoothly.

To build a smart city, the first phase has been delivered for use, and there are four more phases. The second and third phases are currently under construction. It is planned to sell the second phase on July 1st next month, and the third phase on December 1st at the end of the year.

The scientific research level of Leng Han and Jin Wei, Muyang's first batch of students, is expected to reach first-level civilization junior scholars in 2021.

To upgrade, ten students need to reach the first-level civilization junior scholar.

Muyang currently has 20 student places, but only 8 students. He plans to recruit 7 more students after the college entrance examination results are released, selecting from the outstanding students this year and last year.

There was a year in which no students were recruited, which made many students a little disappointed.

There is no way, he is too busy and has less time to educate students.

The third requirement for upgrade: aerospace plane + moon landing

For Mu Yang, this request is not difficult.

An aerospace plane may be developed next year, and a moon landing may be realized within the next one or two years.
Chapter completed!
