The success of the manned moon landing caused the entire nation to rejoice.
China became the second country to land on the Moon, and it received a lot of envy.
Especially from Russia.
As the second largest country in the aerospace industry, the Russian Federal Space Agency released a four-step strategy for the manned Moon landing in 2017. They claimed that they would achieve a manned Moon landing in 2031, carry out a 14-day scientific research mission, and build a lunar research base in 2034.
Even though the outside world generally saw this as a response to the United States' lunar orbit space station program, in fact, the Russian Federal Space Agency was actually pushing forward with this plan.
After all, aerospace wasn't just the pride of the Americans, it was also the pride of the Russians.
Even though it was impossible to recreate the greatness of the Soviet Union, and not many people were willing to go back to that era, if they could accomplish what the Soviet Union failed to accomplish, it would be a meaningful thing for most Russians.
At the same time, almost no Russians doubted that Russia would become the second country after the United States to land on the Moon.
However, the truth was the exact opposite …
From the successful launch of Skyglow to the landing of the lunar module, and finally the successful return of the astronauts, China's achievements in the aerospace field not only shocked the Americans, but they also shocked their old neighbor, Russia.
It was as if the United States was on the rise, while the United States was on the high ground …
In addition to congratulating China on their successful Moon landing, the Russian Federal Space Agency quickly held a closed-door meeting with the Russian Aerospace Corporation. They reformulated the Moon landing schedule and jointly applied for a larger budget.
Russia wasn't the only country that was excited by China's Moon landing success. The European Space Agency, which was second only to Russia in the field of high-thrust rockets, also quickly held a press conference. They publicly announced to the outside world that "it is time to land on the Moon". They also announced a new round of manned Moon landing plans, as well as some cooperation projects with US aerospace companies in the Ares program.
For example, providing parts for the life support system that was being developed …
In any case, Skyglow was a dark horse that had successfully stirred up the international situation. It replaced the hot spot of geopolitical conflicts, and a new space race pattern was gradually blooming in this new era of diversity.
It was hard to say what the future would be like …
The day after the heroes' triumphant return, the news channel was still broadcasting videos taken from the moon, as well as information about the manned moon landing.
As for the three heroes who landed on the Moon, they were sent to the 301 Hospital in Shangjing.
Although their bodies were basically very healthy, the necessary examination procedures were still indispensable. After all, some things could not be seen just by looking at them.
At the same time, because they had stayed in a zero-gravity, low-gravity environment for too long, they needed two to three days to adapt to the gravity on Earth.
As for Lu Zhou, he didn't care about aerospace for the time being. He was focused on his own matters …
…
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, third floor underground.
In Lu Zhou's private laboratory.
Lying on the flat laboratory table was a dark gray long johns … or rather, tights. If there was anything special about it, it was probably that other than its softness, smoothness, and lightness, there was really nothing special about it.
No matter how one looked at it, it was just an ordinary piece of clothing, the kind that felt cold when one wore it.
Lu Zhou searched the clothes inside and out, but he didn't find any special mechanisms.
"Don't tell me this thing is really worn in the summer? But wearing this on the street, people will think I'm crazy, right? "
Lu Zhou would rather believe that this piece of clothing had other uses than to believe that people from the future world would have such outrageous tastes.
Also, since the system identified it as a sample, there must be something different about it.
"… Thickness 1.72mm, horizontal thermal conductivity 2000/(m · k)." Lu Zhou looked at the data measured on the high-precision thermal conductivity meter and thought for a moment. He then suddenly said, "Xiao Ai, bring me the toolbox."
[Got it! (́ • ́ • ́) و ́]
A string of text popped up on the screen more than two meters away. The robotic arm attached to the wall quickly swung and accurately grabbed the toolbox on the ground. It then placed it on the VGA logistics vehicle next to the wall. Several pairs of wheels spun quickly, and the toolbox was quickly delivered to Lu Zhou. The entire process was smooth and fluid.
Lu Zhou reached out and took out a pair of scissors from the toolbox. He found a better position on the cuff of the shirt and cut it.
However, a surprising scene happened.
It was as if the scissors were not cutting a piece of fabric, but a piece of steel. No matter how hard Lu Zhou cut, he couldn't even make a scratch on the surface of the material.
"This is weird."
Lu Zhou threw the scissors aside and looked at the unscathed fabric. His face was full of surprise.
Seeing how Lu Zhou couldn't do anything to the shirt, a drone with a tablet flew over.
[Master, do you need Xiao Ai's help? 0.0】
After Lu Zhou thought for a moment, he said, "Do you have any good ideas?"
[Why don't you try water cutting? (̄ ▽ ̄)]
When Lu Zhou heard this, he suddenly slapped his head.
I almost forgot!
In order to give Xiao Ai some extra computing power, and to make it easier for him to study the wreckage from the system, he constantly added a lot of experimental and industrial equipment. The entire underground laboratory was like a small automated factory. Basic equipment like water cutting was naturally required.
Lu Zhou immediately said, "Just do as you said, cut off 1cm of fabric from the left cuff of this shirt."
[Got it! (́ • ́ • ́) و ́]
The drone grabbed the shirt on the table and flew to the corner of the laboratory. There was a water cutting machine connected to the central server of the laboratory.
After the drone accurately placed the shirt on the processing station, the water cutting machine quickly started under Xiao Ai's control. The "high-pressure water knife" was released from the ultra-high pressure water jet generator. It easily cut off 1cm of "fabric" from the cuff of the shirt.
After the machine cooled down, Lu Zhou walked up and used a pair of tweezers to pick up the piece of fabric from the cuff. After carefully examining it for a moment, he stuffed it into a sample bag.
Even though there was a lot of experimental equipment in the underground laboratory, large equipment like the transmission electron microscope took up a lot of space and was troublesome to maintain. Therefore, it was better to put it on the surface.
Lu Zhou planned on going to Yang Xu's place and giving him the material to do some infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
Lu Zhou trusted Yang Xu quite a bit.
Whether it was in terms of ability or confidentiality …
Lu Zhou packed up the things in the laboratory and put on his jacket. He was about to leave.
However, when he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and quickly returned to the test bench.
"I almost forgot about this."
Lu Zhou picked up two sealed test tubes from the test tube rack. He looked at the black and green solutions and smiled. He put the two test tubes and the sample bag into his bag. He then turned around and walked out the door …
