"I think... Pilot Space is in the connotation of Merecon."

"Why?"

"Look, the Mars spacecraft of Meriken is 60 meters long and is called Enterprise. The typical protagonist ship must be highly expected. The Mars spacecraft of the Navigator is 120 meters long and is called Spore. In comparison with this size, don't you feel very picturesque?"

"Good guy, there's a picture."

"It's more than that. Look at the Enterprise spacecraft, there are two modules in total, and they have no similarities to the spacecraft in science fiction films. Let's look at the Spore spacecraft, good guy, driving module, experimental cabin module, simulated gravity module, ion propeller, and two landing crafts and two living cabins. This is the long-distance development spacecraft in science fiction films!"

"That's not."

"I didn't expect that the pilot completed the long-distance spacecraft in one month, and I think its intention is very good and takes that step for mankind. Its technology has indeed arrived. The Spore, which is responsible for 'taking this step', is a complete long-distance spacecraft, which has been considered in all aspects and has sufficient technology to implement it, rather than pieced together and forcing long-distance voyages, which are irresponsible to the lives of astronauts, and also think of a broken spacecraft that starts war."

"You're right."

"Wait, why do you always praise me? Let's put this crosstalk?"

"What do you think?"

"Good guy, if we really talk crosstalk together, you must promise me something."

"What did you say?"

"Hey, I'm excited when I say this. You go and shave my head."

"I'll go to yours!"

Well, they are indeed talking crosstalk. As soon as the Pioneer Spaceship of the Spores was assembled, someone started to do it. This video is one of many do it.

However, there are two things that are the same and come from different companies and institutions. Of course, those who are leisurely and leisurely need to compare them.

Many times, the comparison does not have a clear result because it will turn into a verbal battle and a big chaos. But the result this time is different, and the Navigator has too much chance of winning.

Especially when the pilot began to publish some information and data on the Spore number, there was no suspense that the Spore number won.

120 meters long and 50 meters wide.

This 50-meter width is not only the width of the expansion of the solar cell array, it is a solid available space width. The medium-sized simulated gravity rotation cabin reaches this diameter, and the node cabin parts that dock two Mars living cabins also have this width.

These large modules, large spaces, and large solar cell arrays directly pile up the mass of the spore number to 500 tons.

These 500 tons are its basic mass. If two Mars landing crafts and two Mars life capsules are added, its mass can reach 820 tons.

The four things carried alone have a mass of 320 tons, not to mention that there are many non-pressurized cargo warehouses hanging outside the comprehensive experimental compartment in the middle of the Spore.

These non-pressurized warehouses can hold a lot of things, such as orbital detectors, landing detectors, deep space detectors, relay communication satellites, astronomical telescopes, etc.

The Spore itself is a long-distance spacecraft. The places it goes to are basically places that humans have never touched, just like the target this time - Mars.

When humans initially explored Mars, they could only launch rockets from Earth and then consumed a lot of fuel to fly to Mars.

If handed over to the Spore, it can fly directly to the orbit of Mars, and then release the orbital probe and landing probe in the unpressurized warehouse to detect Mars from multiple dimensions.

Even if the astronauts on the Spore are going to land, that's simple.

Select a suitable location for logging from the data detected by the orbit detector, and then control the orbit detector to focus on the pre-selected landing site, and finally launch a landing detector to conduct close reconnaissance and landing reconnaissance on the pre-selected landing site.

Because they did not fly from Earth, but were transported by the Spores, they do not need to carry excess fuel and deep space propulsion platforms, but are directly the body of the probe, and naturally they can be very small. A one-ton landing probe can land on Mars on a small Mars rover and a small helicopter.

Moreover, there are orbit detectors on the orbit, which is easy to contact the Spores, so they don’t need to walk independently. It’s too slow. Astronauts can remotely control them on the spacecraft with almost no delay, allowing them to quickly explore various places.

After everything is discovered, if the conditions are right, the astronauts can land on Mars.

With landing spacecraft and ground survival cabins, astronauts can carry out long-term scientific research missions with peace of mind.

If it is not suitable, then this place can become an unmanned detection point, allowing the rover and helicopter to explore independently and continue to contribute to scientific research. Astronauts choose another landing location.

And it's all here, it's much easier to launch a deep space probe in Mars orbit than to directly launch a deep space probe on Earth.

Mars is closer to "deep space" than Earth and is already in orbit, so it doesn't have to resist gravity and take off or something, just launch a deep space probe directly.

In this case, deep space detectors can fly longer distances in a shorter time, and small amount of fuel can also maneuver for longer periods, which is very good.

Let long-distance spacecraft carry equipment, use it at any time and launch it at any time, not only save effort, but also reduce non-mission losses of the equipment.

Just like before Tianxia, ​​in order to make Chang'e-4 land on the back of the moon, a relay satellite was launched in advance.

But this satellite was launched a bit early, half a year ahead of schedule.

Its pre-determined lifespan was three years, but it took half a year to do it, and no relay tasks were carried out in half a year.

Moreover, Chang'e-4 is still working. When the relay satellite is scrapped, Chang'e-4, which is on the back of the moon, will lose contact with the earth, and the continuous scientific research data and data will not be transmitted back to the earth.

This is the impact of equipment premature loss.

If you want to talk about the most powerful guy on the Spore, it has to be its ion engine.

The ion engine it uses is called the "super accelerator", which uses the super upgraded version of the ion engine technology on the "Unmanned Mars Spaceship". However, unlike the test item, this time it is already the universal version of the ion engine of the large long-distance spacecraft.

Because of the use of solar panels to power, its power cannot be 100%. Only when the nuclear fusion device can be installed on the spacecraft can it exert its full strength.

Even so, it's enough.

When the Earth and Mars are in the right position, it only takes 20 days to fly from one side to the other.

So although the Enterprise, driven by the "protagonists", has been departing for a month, as long as the Spore departs these few days, it is possible to "catch shrimp houses" next to them, and then arrive on Mars two months earlier.

So is the spore number ready?

certainly!

After all the modules were assembled and then unmanned and running them independently, all the data box modules were in good condition, the astronauts entered space on an orbital shuttle.

Because the four pairs of the node cabin are connected to additional equipment, the track shuttle is connected to the front-end cab.

The cab of the Spore is a conical module, not a flat or round head. At first glance, it is the driving module at the front of the spacecraft, which is very consistent with humans' structural understanding of the flight facilities.

Its cone tip opens to interface, which is regarded as the fifth external device interface on the spacecraft.

The first person to enter the cockpit of the Spores was Tang Chao!
