"Take a look quickly, what is the thing sticking out of their Tiannian?"

Inside the White House, after seeing the photos sent from NASA, the president's eyes widened immediately, and then he quickly asked Eisenberg next to him.

Eisenberg took one look and was stunned.

Because the photos taken by satellites are not particularly clear, although they are high-definition, it is difficult to capture everything that is more than a hundred kilometers away, so they started from the current photo.

In the photo, you can only see six strange things that seem to be waving around the Tiannian, like tentacles.

After a moment, Eisenberg frowned and then said: "Mr. President, this may be a robotic arm."

"Robotic arm? What does it do?"

Eisenberg replied: "What the Chinese want to implement is a lunar transformation plan. According to the information they announced, they want to build a lunar base on the moon."

"When building a lunar base, the robotic arm can help them with the construction work very well."

"Of course, on our space station and on some other spacecraft, there are usually such robotic arms to replace our astronauts for extravehicular inspections."

"However, these robotic arms have an obvious problem in various aspects, that is, they are not flexible enough."

"Now the Chinese want to rely on their six team members to build this lunar base in a short time on the moon, basically relying on their robotic arms."

"I just don't know if their six robotic arms are that flexible, or can they only do some carrying work?"

After Eisenberg thought for a while, he then said: "Mr. President, let them record the video. Only by recording the video can we see the performance of this robotic arm more intuitively."

The president nodded slightly, and then conveyed the order to NASA.

NASA quickly replied: "Okay, Mr. President, but since our highest-definition satellite capable of video recording can no longer capture the South Pole of the Moon, it will take about half an hour to re-photograph it."

To the south pole of the moon, it will take about fifteen minutes to finish shooting the video and send the video back, so please be patient.」

"It actually takes so long." The president frowned, a little impatient.

However, he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only wait calmly.

Eisenberg smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. President, it's only forty-five minutes, and their astronauts will need some time to adapt to activities on the moon after landing on the moon, so there will be at least

It will take half an hour for them to officially start the construction activity, and then we will be able to better observe their construction speed."

"What's more, after they have been active outside for a period of time, they need to return to the spacecraft to rest. Otherwise, long-term extravehicular activities will seriously affect their health."

"I think Armstrong and Aldrin developed coughing symptoms after only being active outside for an hour, so according to me, it will take them at least forty-eight hours to build their lunar excitement!"

The president nodded, and then said: "God forbid, let all six of them get sick, and then give up their moon landing plan."

"Originally, we should be the first country to build a lunar base on the moon, and the south pole of the moon should also belong to us."

After hearing the president's words, Eisenberg was silent. Originally, according to the plan they announced in the last century, they would build their base on the moon in 2007. However, until so many years later, the Chinese were allowed to precede them.

Completed in one step.

Afterwards, Eisenberg said with a smile: "Mr. President, don't worry. At least, aren't we about to go to Mars and build our base? The Mars base is far greater than their moon base."

The president shook his head. Although he said that, he knew very well that the Mars base to be built in their Mars plan was not actually a "base" at all.

A base can definitely accommodate a large number of people to survive, but obviously, their Mars base can only accommodate a few people.

This is also limited by the payload weight of their rockets.

After all, their rocket is not like the Tiannian, which can easily carry a lot of things to the sky.

In order to solve this problem, they actually arranged two rockets. The first rocket will be launched in half a month, carrying the cargo of the Mars base and other resources. The second rocket will be launched in March.

The Saturn 9 launched on the 31st was their official landing rocket.

However, even if this is the case, they can only provide the goods for five people to survive, and the cost is huge.

But it's different in China. Their Tiannian can travel between the earth and the moon from time to time. The cost is pitifully low, and it only takes more than seventy hours to arrive.

Generally speaking, it takes more than a hundred hours for a rocket to reach the moon from the earth, but Tiannian reached the moon in just over 70 hours, which really shocked them.

But precisely because of this, the president knows very well that if China wants to build such a large base on the moon, it will be much easier than building a Mars base on Mars.

By then, China's lunar base will be the real base. Through continuous expansion, I am afraid it will be able to easily accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people in the future, and maybe even thousands of people is not impossible.

Thinking of this, the newly elected president felt helpless.

I really don’t know what his predecessor did. It would have been better to change the dog than his predecessor.

In this way, they waited for more than forty minutes.

Finally, NASA sent them a message, and it also attached a video that was more than a minute long, but the text content attached to the message made them a little confused.

[Mr. President, and Mr. Eisenberg, this is the video we shot, but the content in it is really shocking!]

Seeing the last paragraph, the president and Eisenberg were both stunned.

What does it mean?

Too surprising?

What’s so surprising about this video?

With a hint of doubt, they opened the video and started watching it.

Then, both of their faces showed extremely surprised expressions for a moment.

Because at the beginning of the video, they saw a capped building on the land at the south pole of the moon.

The Chinese built a base building in more than forty minutes?

how did you do that?

Then, the things in the video once again gave them a visual impact.

I saw a total of six mechanical arms extending out from both sides of the car, as if they were alive, they reached into the cargo hold very flexibly, and then took out six parts from it.

With vague recognition, among these six parts, some are plates, some are pipes, and some are even just a screw. Of course, this kind of screw is very big, and it is the kind used to fix two large structures.

After taking out all these parts, the six robotic arms quickly placed these things on the base being built, and then began the construction work. The whole process was precise and fast, as if they were a skilled craftsman.

Of course, a robotic arm with this level of precision can naturally be built on earth. After all, whether it is a photolithography machine or a top-level machine tool, their robotic arms can be accurate to the nanometer level.

But the problem is that the robotic arm on the Tiannian is not these robotic arms. This robotic arm seems to be at least more than thirty meters long, and the weight of each robotic arm is probably also very high. In such a situation, it is

How can this kind of flexibility and precision be achieved?

"And it still has seven degrees of freedom... Even Canadarm 2 can't do this. When will the Chinese robotic arm be able to do this?"

Eisenberg's eyes widened, feeling quite unbelievable.

Canadarm 2 is a super robotic arm on the International Space Station. It weighs 1.8 tons, is 17 meters long, and has a payload of up to 116 tons. It can be said to be the superstar among spacecraft robotic arms.

Even the "big arm" of the robotic arm on the Tiangong Space Station is only 10 meters long and has a load of 25 tons.

For these robotic arms, lack of flexibility is their main problem.

Just when they were still looking surprised, the six robotic arms had completed their own assembly, and then flexibly reached into the cargo hold and grabbed six parts again.

At this time, the video, which lasted for more than a minute, was over.

After reading it, Eisenberg felt crazy.

Why the hell does this still need forty-eight hours?

Twenty-four hours... No, I'm afraid they can build it in less than eighteen hours!

At this time, the president next to him said quietly: "Eisenberg, is this the forty-eight hours you just mentioned?"

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Eisenberg's forehead, and he quickly explained: "Mr. President, this is really unexpected. I didn't expect that their robotic arm technology has reached this level.

.”

"But please don't worry, their robotic arms must be operated by humans. Whether it is the International Space Station or their Tiangong Space Station, the robotic arms need to be operated by professionally trained people."

"They are definitely no exception, especially since their robotic arm can be so flexible, it definitely needs people to control it, and people need to rest. In this way, they want to rely on this robotic arm to complete all the construction work

If so, it will take at least twenty-four hours."

In a hurry, Eisenberg thought of using this to explain.

At this time, he also suddenly realized, yes, as long as their operators still need to rest, then they will definitely not be able to complete it within eighteen hours. After all, even driving a tractor requires a rest, which is even more difficult.

Needless to say, operating a robotic arm on the moon.

Working in that kind of low gravity puts a heavy burden on astronauts. They certainly cannot support long-term work, not to mention that they have just arrived on the moon and are not familiar with all aspects.

"Oh? Really?" However, the president just snorted and said: "Didn't you see in the video just now that their six astronauts were carrying out activities outside the cabin, and no one was staying in their celestial vehicle?

In the number?"

Eisenberg was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "What?!"

Then he quickly watched the video again, and sure enough he discovered that the six members of China's lunar transformation project were all moving outside the Tiannian... or to be precise, they were playing?!

"Hahaha, let's see who puts the national flag on the hill in front first!"

"Okay! Let me show you the strength of your captain! Back then, I, your captain, was able to fly the J-20 with one hand and perform the Falling Leaf Up maneuver!"
