Chapter 1028 : The picture sent back by Zhu Rong
After Jiang Fan received the report from the Mars Zhurong inspector, he immediately followed him to the inspection room.
"Commander Jiang, look, this is the photo returned by the Zhurong detector."
Jiang Fan excitedly enlarged the photo, but it was a bit blurry. He couldn't tell whether it contained happy dark red ore.
"Are there any other photos sent back by Zhurong?"
"have!"
Later, the inspector opened the other photos for Jiang Fan to check.
Jiang Fan looked at these blurry photos, his heart beating wildly.
Judging from the shape and color of these pictures, they are very similar to the dark red ore he is looking for.
But this is just a picture after all, and Jiang Fan cannot be 100% sure, but he still has a 70% probability that this should be the dark red stone he is looking for.
"Where on Mars were these images found?"
"Near a crater in southeastern Mars."
"Crater?"
When Xiaoyu discovered this dark red ore on the moon in early summer, Jiang Fan asked relevant scientific researchers to conduct research.
Finally, it was discovered that this dark red stone was not lunar material, but material from other planets that crashed onto the moon.
Jiang Fan also imagined at that time that since the dark red stone is a meteorite, he believed that other planets in the solar system might also be hit by such dark red meteorites.
The closest planet to Earth is Mars.
At that time, everyone was speculating whether this kind of dark red ore would exist on Mars?
Subsequently, Longguo scientific researchers controlled the Zhurong probe and began to detect on Mars.
As a result, this exploration lasted two years.
"Continue testing. Report anything to me immediately."
After Jiang Fan finished explaining, he left the Zhurong detector inspection office.
After coming out, he hurriedly went to find No. 1.
"Leader No. 1, what do you think this is?"
Jiang Fan came to Office No. 1 and handed him the picture directly.
Take a look at the photo of the No. 1 result.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly glowed.
My whole hand started to tremble.
"this……"
"Is this californium matter?"
"I'm not sure either. We discovered it on Mars through the Zhurong rover."
Although Jiang Fan was not sure, No. 1 could determine from his eyes that the probability of it being californium material was very high.
Nowadays, the only thing missing from the controllable nuclear fusion researched by their Dragon Kingdom is californium.
As long as this material is obtained, Dragon Kingdom's controllable nuclear fusion research can be successful.
By then, Dragon Kingdom's overall technology will probably have to advance to several more dimensions.
Maybe, it's possible that the Dragon Kingdom could directly upgrade Blue Star's technological level to a first-level civilization.
By then, not to mention the beautiful countries, even if all the developed countries of Blue Star unite, they will not be the opponent of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragon Kingdom has never been a warlike country, and the reason No. 1 is anxious to develop controllable nuclear fusion is just to protect the safety of the Dragon Kingdom.
He deeply remembered the Dragon Kingdom 100 years ago, which lagged behind Western countries and was bullied at will.
"Leader No. 1, I came to you today just to ask for your advice..."
No. 1 knew what Jiang Fanlai meant.
The substance "Chinese" is very important to the Dragon Kingdom, but if you want to obtain this substance, you need to enter Mars.
But at present, the entire Blue Star has landed on Mars with probes from the Dragon Kingdom and the Beautiful Kingdom, but no humans have landed on Mars yet.
The Meili Kingdom's probe on Mars has been destroyed, and only the Dragon Kingdom's Zhurong is working on the entire Blue Star.
Although humans have built a base on the moon, the moon and Mars are incomparable.
In terms of distance alone, the distance from Blue Star to the Moon is between 360,000 kilometers and 400,000 kilometers.
The distance from Blue Star to Mars is 5,500 kilometers to 400 million kilometers.
If humans want to land on Mars, they need to fly a long distance in space. This distance will bring many unknown dangers.
For example, whether its own manned spacecraft can support humans flying such a long distance is also a question.
Therefore, if the people of the Dragon Kingdom want to enter Mars, the funds they need to spend may be thousands or tens of thousands of times more than building a base on the moon.
More importantly, even after spending money, there is no certainty of successfully landing on Mars.
Even if the people of the Dragon Kingdom successfully landed on Mars after going through all kinds of hardships, are the ores in these pictures a californium substance?
And how does the Dragon Kingdom bring it back to Blue Star?
They are all serious problems.
If there is a problem in any link in the middle, it will lead to failure.
Just as No. 1 was thinking, Jiang Fan's cell phone rang.
Jiang Fan took a look and saw that it was someone from the Space Administration, so he answered the call.
"Commander Jiang, our Zhurong detector detection department."
"The Zhurong just sent back another photo. They found a huge mine. This ore is the same as the material sent by the Zhurong, but we are still not sure whether it is the californium material our Dragon Kingdom needs..."
Jiang Fan was immediately excited after hearing this.
"Approximately how big is this mine?"
"On the surface, it must be at least 100,000 cubic meters..."
100,000 cubic meters!
When Jiang Fan heard this number, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
If these are really the materials he said he needed, as long as the Dragon Kingdom obtains them, it will be able to develop many controllable nuclear fusion devices in the future.
At that time, the Dragon Kingdom will no longer have to worry about rare materials.
Jiang Fan communicated with the monitor for a while and then hung up the phone.
"Leader No. 1, if these are really californium substances, our Dragon Kingdom will have endless energy in the future."
Jiang Fan said excitedly.
He has been searching for californium material for more than 6 years in order to develop controllable nuclear fusion. Now, although he is not sure whether the photos sent back by the Zhurong are californium material, he still wants to give it a try.
"Xiaofan, please give me some time. I need to summon the senior officials of Long Kingdom to discuss this."
Number 1 said with a serious face.
Jiang Fan also knows that landing on Mars is a big deal, and it may require the efforts of the entire Dragon Kingdom to succeed.
The most important thing is that he can't be sure whether the pictures returned by the Zhurong are actually the material of Chongxi. If not, the time, money, and manpower invested by the Dragon Kingdom will be in vain.
If the Dragon Kingdom wants to establish a plan to land humans on Mars, it must give up research on other aspects of science and technology.
The current national strength of the Dragon Kingdom cannot support the research of multiple large-scale projects at the same time.
This may take a few years for the Dragon Kingdom, which means that in the past few years, except for space technology, other technologies in the Dragon Kingdom will stagnate.
Nowadays, the beautiful country has formed an alliance with the Western powers and is fully committed to researching related technologies of lunar energy ores.
If the beautiful country develops powerful technology, they may crush the dragon country.
