The ground transmission experiment was applied for and its funding came through rather quickly.
The anti-gravity technology group provided assistance, speeding up the parts ordering process. They were to manufacture a unilateral anti-energy barrier device. All new equipment had to be assembled by themselves. The most crucial beam device was relatively simple to order and manufacture, but some components required special production, primarily the beam conduit equipment.
Since the beam conduit equipment was an entirely new design, it needed to be specially made by the manufacturer, which would take some time.
"About a month or so," was the response Zhao Yi got from the anti-gravity technology group.
The theoretical group was somewhat impatient, but they knew new equipment took time to be manufactured.
One month was already quite fast.
In fact, the lead times for ordering most new equipment components were usually several months or even longer. Manufacturers were primarily considering the needs of the theoretical group as a priority, and Zhao Yi’s projects always received special attention.
With a month of downtime, several members of the theoretical group simply took a break.
Their research had hit a bottleneck.
Since they lacked experimental data for reference, just burying their heads in the office with contemplation was no way to ensure any certain progress.
Zhao Yi simply went home. During his free time, he went to Yanhua University to fulfill his duties as a professor.
This wasn’t a very good decision.
When Zhao Yi decided to offer a temporary public lecture, he found that a large number of students signed up, including the school’s teachers and professors. Even professors from the School of Sciences and the School of Information attended, but the content he taught was just the basics of particle mathematics.
"It’s not easy to teach students these days," Zhao Yi could only sigh at his own high reputation, which made such a simple class so attractive.
There wasn’t anything remarkable about the day’s class, and Zhao Yi didn’t believe his teaching skills surpassed anyone else’s. He just taught normally.
Even so, the class received a lot of positive feedback afterward, as Zhao Yi’s explanations were very comprehensive, making people feel like they learned a lot.
After this experience, Zhao Yi felt that he should not easily offer classes. Offering too many similar classes would allow students to make comparisons and realize there was nothing so special about the classes he taught.
This, of course, was not a good thing.
Then Zhao Yi had some downtime and also came to check on the space transport vessel.
The vessel had already undergone two tests, and the third test would be a direct moon landing.
Preparations were underway for the space transport ship’s moon-landing mission. Landing on the moon was not the main objective. For both the Aerospace Bureau and Yixing Company, landing on the moon was not technically difficult. The mission’s primary goal was to transport Lunar Base vehicles, casually bringing along a large quantity of equipment and supplies.
The transport ship had a load capacity of three hundred tons. Without considering volume, it could even bring a space station directly to the moon. The Lunar Base vehicle was only twenty tons, with the rest including plates needed for building the base and monocrystalline silicon wafers for receiving transferred solar energy.
All these materials had to be transported in advance, and at least three trips were required before construction of the Lunar Base could begin.
Whether it’s the construction material plates or the monocrystalline silicon wafers, they had strong radiation and corrosion resistance and could withstand extreme low and high temperatures; their transport to the moon and normal placement was sufficient.
These materials were fixed onto special trailers, and once placed on the moon’s surface and the Lunar Base’s location was determined, they could be pulled over in batches using the base vehicle.
In addition, solid fuel energy sources were considered.
The future Lunar Base would primarily utilize transferred solar energy, while also using solid fuel energy as a supplement since energy demands remained quite high. It was crucial to transport a reserve of solid fuel in the early stages.
Solid fuels were chosen because, in the moon’s unique vacuum environment, only specially processed chemical fuels could be used; other oxygen-dependent energy sources were out of the question.
Preparing for the space transport ship’s first moon landing was a task that required a lot of work.
Safety was the number one priority.
To ensure safety, thorough inspections were necessary along with a series of plans to make sure astronauts knew how to handle any situation.
Zhao Yi needn’t worry about these details.
After learning about the progress of the transport ship’s mission, he continued enjoying his leisurely university life.
One day, he went to the microbiology laboratory. frёeωebɳovel.com
Visiting the microbiology laboratory meant he was looking for Li Renzhe. It had been a while since they last hung out, and he also wanted to check out Li Renzhe’s research since he mentioned making significant breakthroughs.
Zhao Yi went.
Upon opening the door to the lab, he saw Li Renzhe working on the platform through the glass, though he couldn’t tell exactly what he was doing.
Zhao Yi waited for a short while before Li Renzhe came out.
"You’re here, Zhao Yi!"
Li Renzhe, having taken off his lab coat, said, "I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
"How’s it going? Any progress?" Zhao Yi knew Li Renzhe was conducting special research on bacterial viral resistance, which involved finding mutant bacteria that could resist viruses and investigating how these bacteria achieved this resistance.
This was a branch project of bacterial mutation studies.
Li Renzhe replied, "There’s been significant progress. I’ve cultivated a special strain of Mutated Red Spirulina that can resist the corresponding bacteriophages."
