Vol 2 Chapter 1429: Super lunar rover

  Chapter 1430 Super Lunar Rover

  In addition to the solar panels like this sail, this smart lunar patrol vehicle has one big difference compared to other lunar cars and Mars rover, that is, it has an extra smart robotic arm.

  Because it is in the testing phase, the smart robotic arm is in the unfolding phase, so everyone can see the full picture of the robotic arm very clearly.

  It is folded in three sections, and the end has several joints, which is more flexible to rotate, and there are various detectors on it, as well as a mechanical gripper, which can grab related items.

  There are three pairs of six large hollow wheels. In order to prevent the wear caused by long-term fast travel, these six large lightweight hollow wheels are also specially designed.

  First of all, it must be light, after all, the more weight, the more transportation cost. Because of the limited transportation capacity, in order to be able to equip more scientific instruments and equipment, the weight of the body must be strictly controlled, even a few grams of a few grams.

  Even if this is the case, the six large hollow wheels are enough. In addition to the lightweight alloy wheel structure, compared to other lunar rover, the surface of the large hollow wheel of this intelligent lunar patrol vehicle is also attached with a special rubber material.

  This kind of rubber material, on the one hand, is relatively light and does not take up too much weight, on the other hand, it is strong and wear-resistant. Compared with this kind of metal wheels, this kind of rubber material can greatly protect this kind of metal hollow wheels from wearing out too quickly.

  Otherwise, it may be as embarrassing as the Curiosity rover. In total, it has only traveled a short distance and the wheels have broken.

  Finally, it is to increase the friction of the wheels on the lunar surface and increase the gripping ability, so that the driving is more stable.

  In addition to these, other aspects are not much different from ordinary lunar rover and Mars rover equipment. At the rear of this smart lunar patrol vehicle, in addition to being equipped with two small radioisotope batteries, there is also a shelf. There are a few boxes on it. Obviously, these are also to be brought to the moon.

  Looking at the smart lunar patrol and detection vehicle carefully, Wu Hao set his sights on the "sky crane" next to him, which is the sky crane that helped the smart lunar patrol and detection vehicle to land on the moon.

  It looks like a cockroach, or like a long-legged insect, in a "rich" shape. A small engine is mounted on these long legs. These engines will ignite during the landing process to slow down.

  In addition, there are some instruments and equipment on the aerial crane, which are used for related posture control, communication and other functions.

  While Wu Hao and the others were looking at it, Shi Zhaoping on the side continued to introduce it.

"The total weight of our intelligent lunar patrol and detection vehicle plus sky crane exceeds four tons, of which this intelligent lunar patrol and detection vehicle is more than two tons, and it can be said to be the largest known alien exploration vehicle. .

Although it is relatively large in size, it is not clumsy. In fact, it is very fast and can reach a speed of up to ten kilometers per hour, which is already the fastest of all alien planetary exploration vehicles known. . "

   Hearing Shi Zhaoping’s introduction, Wu Hao couldn’t help asking: “I remember this car was able to run more than 20 kilometers during the test.”

  Shi Zhaoping heard him and nodded with a smile: "You are right. During the test, we were cautiously able to run to a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

  However, after sufficient research and demonstration, many factors have been integrated. In the end, to be on the safe side, we controlled the maximum speed of this intelligent lunar patrol vehicle to about ten kilometers per hour. This is already a long way ahead of those alien exploration vehicles. I don’t think there is any need to take the risk and improve it.

  Furthermore, our mission is lunar surface exploration, not lunar surface racing, so there is no need for such a fast speed. "

Having said that, Shi Zhaoping glanced at everyone, and then calmed down his tone: "In fact, we have also reserved room for its speed-up. If needed for future missions. Then we can check the relevant systems and systems of this intelligent lunar patrol vehicle. The firmware is upgraded, then it can be speeded up.

  Like those electric cars now, they can drive up to two hundred kilometers, but for the sake of safety, there is still a restriction. After reaching a certain speed, you can no longer continue to increase growth. "

  After this explanation, Wu Hao and the others finally understood, and Wu Hao nodded to beckon him to continue.

When Shi Zhaoping saw this, he continued to introduce: "Compared with the traditional wing-wing solar panels of the ordinary alien planet rover, we designed the erect sail style this time. The advantage of this design is that it can fully According to the angular position of the sun, it is adjusted so that it can always receive the sun's rays at an optimal angle to charge the super solid-state battery of this intelligent lunar patrol vehicle.

  In addition, an end point of this design is that it is easy to maintain and not easy to fight dust. Although it is on the moon, some tiny dust particles will still be raised when the vehicle is driving at high speed. Accumulation will also affect the power generation of solar panels.

  This design is not easy to stain, on the one hand, it is easy to clean on the other hand. The intelligent robotic arm on the intelligent lunar patrol vehicle can clean the entire battery panel to extend the service life of it and the vehicle. "

  Speaking of this, U U Reading www.uukanshu. Com Shi Zhaoping moved a few steps, and then introduced to everyone’s guidance: “Our smart lunar patrol vehicle is not only powered by solar panels, but also equipped with the world’s most advanced super solid state vehicle developed by Haoyu Technology. The battery provides sufficient power for the entire intelligent lunar patrol vehicle.

  In addition to the daily charging of solar panels, two small radioisotope batteries are also equipped at the rear of this smart lunar patrol vehicle. Although the power of these two batteries is relatively small, they can continuously generate electricity and have a very long service life, which can be used for more than ten years.

  Even if the solar panel fails and cannot continue to supply power, the basic performance can be maintained through it.

  In this way, even in the long moonlit night, the radioactive isotope battery can achieve continuous power supply, and protect the temperature of the related equipment on the intelligent lunar patrol vehicle to prevent it from being frosted by the low temperature during the long moonlit night.

  In fact, we have super solid-state batteries, which can also ensure that our smart lunar patrol vehicle can pass the long moon night smoothly and safely. But for the sake of safety, this radioisotope battery can be said to be a super backup.

  And our intelligent lunar patrol vehicle has naturally become a super lunar rover. "
