Vol 2 Chapter 1694: "Drag racing" on the moon

Under the strong attention of everyone, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover completed a series of preparations and related scientific research work on the landing site, and then it will start its own lunar journey.

According to the previously planned travel route, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover will travel to the northeast of Manilius Crater.

This time, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover will travel about 110 kilometers, and it is planned to take eight to nine hours.

Because the entire journey depends on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover to drive autonomously, so no matter the actual route or speed is determined by the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover, so For the specific travel time, there is currently no accurate figure for this.

However, based on the average travel speed of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover about 13 to 14 kilometers, it would take about eight or nine hours. If the overall road conditions are good, there are no large potholes, and no large gravel, then the speed of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover will increase rapidly, possibly reaching every hour at the fastest. Seventeen or eighteen kilometers.

However, if you encounter some difficult terrain during the trip, with more potholes and more gravel, the speed of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover must be slowed down during the period of driving safety, and it may even be possible. It is possible to drop to one or two kilometers per hour or even several hundred meters.

During the development of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover, Wu Hao made a request that this rover should be able to get up fast and slow down. When encountering some complex terrain, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover must slow down and pass, so as to ensure the safety of its patrol rover. After all, this is the moon 380,000 kilometers away. If there is any malfunction or even a rollover, no one can help it unless the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover saves itself.

Why travel 110 kilometers? This is also a decision after careful research by the scientific research team. On the one hand, this is the first high-speed and long-distance maneuvering, so the distance cannot be too far. After all, this is the first time that this autonomous system on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover has been activated on the spot. It is still unknown, so the distance should not be too far. Of course, it should not be too close. If it is too close, sufficient test data will not be obtained, so it is impossible to verify the performance of this autonomous traveling system.

Secondly, it is the requirements for battery life. It is the first time to travel such a long distance in the lunar environment. The power system and battery power system of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover are a huge test. In particular, whether the super solid-state batteries used in vehicles can be applied to the real lunar environment remains to be tested.

Although the super solid-state battery on this car can support this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover to continue to travel more than 500 kilometers at a time, this is a conservative calculation, and sufficient power needs to be left for other exploration. The operation of the system. Of course, the five-hundred-kilometer battery life is not necessarily accurate, because it is too affected by the terrain. If the terrain is complex and difficult to pass, then the battery life must not reach 500 kilometers.

So for the first time it's practical, it's better to be safe. The distance of one hundred and ten kilometers is just right. The follow-up is to gradually increase the travel distance based on the test results and task requirements.

Finally, it is the mission need. The task of their "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover is not just racing on the moon, but a series of scientific research and exploration tasks. So definitely not just caring about drag racing and forgetting its own mission.

The 110-kilometer location was also a scientific research probe carefully selected by Zhang Qu and the others. The location of this point is a small crater, and it is also a new small crater formed in the past 100 years.

The diameter of this crater is about one hundred meters, and the depth is about ten or twenty meters. Zhang Qu and them believe that there may be meteorite fragments preserved in this crater. These meteorite fragments may include some material elements from outer galaxies and deep space, which is of great scientific value.

Second, this crater was newly impacted in the past 100 years. The impact also caused a crater that was 100 meters and 120 meters deep. The huge impact force, for example, will knock out some soil material at a depth of 10 to 20 meters in the lunar soil, and this is also an excellent opportunity to study the deep lunar soil, so it is worth exploring.

These three, of course, are to test the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover's ability to overcome obstacles, especially the ability to enter and exit craters, climb craters, and travel in craters.

This crater is not large or deep, and the crater formed by the impact is not high. It is suitable for testing the ability of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover to travel through obstacles, for subsequent exploration. Accumulate experience in meteor craters.

And in the end, it is to install the lunar lunar and geological probes. One hundred kilometers together is a relatively suitable detection distance, so this detector also needs to be placed here to collect relevant data and information here.

Under the gaze of Wu Hao and the others, with the relevant instructions being issued, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover began to move on. At first the speed was very slow, and gradually the vehicle began to accelerate, and the speed increased to a high speed of 14-five kilometers per hour.

Through the on-board surveillance camera and high-speed data transmission network, Wu Hao and others in the ground command and control hall ~www.readwn.com~ can also watch this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover in real time. Progress status.

In order to ensure the continuity of the picture, the picture resolution captured by the surveillance camera is only 1080P or even sometimes only 720P. The clarity is not very high, but it is enough for everyone on the ground to see the state of the vehicle and the scenes in front and on both sides of the vehicle.

The "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover travels very fast, of course, it is on the moon. On the earth, the speed of 15 kilometers per hour is slower than that of humans, and it is simply a snail crawling compared to vehicles.

But in a complicated environment like the moon, this speed can be said to be very fast, and it is racing.

Through the "Wangshu" intelligent image recognition system and radar detection system in front of the lunar patrol vehicle, it can very accurately detect the terrain of more than 100 meters in front of the vehicle. Including whether there are large potholes, large rocks, large undulating terrain, and so on.

The intelligent autonomous travel system will automatically plan the best vehicle travel route based on the detected road surface results, so as to avoid these obstacles and bad roads. If it encounters some complex and bad roads, the vehicle will choose to detour or choose a relatively easy route.

At the same time, the vehicle will also use the orbiter and pre-stored satellite maps of the moon's surface to make a large-scale identification and judgment, avoiding some areas with complex terrain as much as possible, unless the task requires manual designation.
