Chapter 548 Alien Exploration

Maybe it won't be long before Xiao Peng and the technical staff of the space agency will completely belong to Jiang Cheng.

At that time, even if the space agency wants to take these people back, it will depend on whether they are willing to go back.

This is the poaching strategy adopted by Jiang Cheng. Temporarily lure people over, and then slowly win them over.

In this way, Jiang Cheng and Xiao Peng stayed in the laboratory together, concentrating on developing a new type of alien detector.

When people are concentrating, they always feel that time passes very quickly.

Time has just passed more than a month like this, and the research of extraterrestrial probe is still in progress.

Jiang Cheng's research progress is now much slower than Jiang Cheng expected at the beginning.

Originally, in Jiang Cheng's plan, one month should be enough for their research and development.

As a result, the research and development progress has only reached more than half, and it is far from successful.

The progress of this research lagged behind Jiang Cheng's plan, mainly because Jiang Cheng did not expect this research to be so difficult.

Although Jiang Cheng had Xiao as his assistant to help this time, the research was still very difficult.

The main technical difficulty lies in the miniaturization of the detection instrument, and other aspects are not very difficult.

In particular, the energy aspect of the detector is even simpler, as long as a miniaturized fusion reactor solves all energy problems.

A fusion reactor is enough to supply the detector for a long time, and even a lot of energy will not be used.

After Jiang Cheng used the small fusion reactor, he saved the position of the solar panels and freed up some valuable space for other devices.

However, the space vacated is still not enough, and all the detection instruments cannot be installed at all.

The main reason is that Jiang Cheng's requirements for this detector are too perfect, so Jiang Cheng and the others are trapped.

Otherwise, Jiang Cheng’s mineral vein detection device should be cancelled. It is too difficult to miniaturize this kind of device, because this kind of device takes up too much space.

In the laboratory, Xiao Peng was discussing with Jiang Cheng about the Ruo detector, and it seemed that it was the mineral vein detection device that stumped them now.

This device was newly developed by Jiang Cheng. It is specially designed to detect the distribution of minerals on Mars, so it was added to the probe.

The mineral vein detection device can emit a special band of electromagnetic waves, scattered to a long distance around.

This kind of electromagnetic wave can go deep into the ground to detect whether there are some minerals there.

According to the reflected electromagnetic waves, the mineral vein detection device can record the distribution of all mineral veins underground.

This kind of device is very advanced. Not only can it detect whether there are mineral veins in the ground, but also the type and approximate output of the mineral veins can be detected together.

But this kind of device has a big disadvantage, that is, the volume is a bit too large. After installing this kind of device on the detector, there is no place to install other equipment.

It seems that now Xiao Peng is going to persuade Jiang Cheng to give up this device, thus saving a lot of space.

No, this time the probe must be equipped with a mineral vein detection device, otherwise we will not be able to obtain the distribution of minerals on Mars. My next plan will use these data, otherwise all subsequent plans will be affected.

It seems that Jiang Cheng disagrees with Xiao He's opinion and refuses to give up the ore vein detection device.

After Jiang Cheng finished detecting the data of Mars this time, he will start the construction of the Mars base.

It is impossible to transport all the materials needed for construction from the earth, so local materials are a must.

Especially for some minerals that are easy to process, Jiang Cheng plans to mine them on Mars, and then use them in the construction of rocket bases.

In this way, Jiang Cheng can save a lot of transportation space to transport those things that must be transported there.

You must know that it is very difficult to transport things from the earth to Mars.

Every dry gram of something transported from Earth to Mars costs a lot.

Even if Jiang Cheng has a cheaper rocket like the Kunpeng rocket, he can't waste transportation resources at will.

If all the things in the construction base were transported from the earth, Jiang Cheng estimated that decades of transportation would not be enough time.

So Jiang Cheng is going to get local materials on Mars, bring some mining and refining equipment to Mars, and carry out some simple mineral mining and processing.

It is far more cost-effective to transport mining and refining equipment than to transport materials. This will make the Mars base self-sufficient, and then there is no need to transport everything from the earth.

It is precisely because Jiang Cheng has such a plan that he insists on installing the mineral vein detection device, which is considered for the future construction of a Mars base.

It's a pity that this kind of device is really too difficult to miniaturize, so they are now in trouble.

Although Jiang Cheng had his own considerations, Xiao Peng still felt that this equipment should be abandoned to speed up the current research progress.

So Xiao Peng continued to persuade Jiang Cheng: "But our current research progress is seriously behind, if we keep getting stuck on this, we don't know how much time will be wasted.

"Perhaps we can divide the detection work into two, the first time to detect other data on the surface of Mars, and then create a detector that specifically detects minerals, so that this problem can be solved.

Peng proposed a good solution, which is to temporarily abandon this device and put this device on the second detector.

In this way, this problem is perfectly solved, and there is no need to consider the problem of insufficient detector space.

After listening to Peng's opinion, Jiang Cheng frowned and said: "This is not acceptable, although our Peng-I rocket is very fast, it will take nine months to reach Mars.

It would be a waste of time to conduct the detection twice. I don’t have so much time to wait. I have to complete all the detection activities in one go, and then immediately start the work of landing on Mars. In fact, the method proposed by Xiao Peng, Jiang Cheng had already thought of it before.

But this method is really a waste of time, and Jiang Cheng is unwilling to wait another 9 months.

He wanted to solve everything at once, and he didn't want to spend too much time on this matter.

Although Jiang Cheng's space exploration plan is going very well now, the rocket has already been researched.

However, the progress of the whole plan is seriously lagging behind. Later, Jiang Cheng will carry out the Mars landing plan, and then gradually establish a complete Mars base.

After completing the construction of the Mars base, Jiang Cheng is also preparing for the Mars colonization plan.

There are still many plans waiting for Ruo Jiangcheng to implement, and Jiang Cheng will have to do a lot of work just to control the entire solar system.

All these plans will take a lot of time. If they all come slowly, Jiang Cheng doesn't know when he will have to wait.
