When Xiao Zhen and Li Xinmin arrived at the National Aerospace Command Center in Beijing, night had already fallen quietly.
The command center was brightly lit, and the staff were busy and orderly working at their respective posts. The air was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere.
The official commissioning of the permanent bases on Venus and Mars is a historic moment, and Xiao Zhen is well aware that he shoulders a heavy responsibility.
Upon entering the command center, Xiao Zhen immediately got to work. He walked straight to the huge holographic display screen, which displayed real-time data from the Venus and Mars bases, as well as images inside and outside the bases.
At this time, the staff of the Venus base are conducting the final entry inspection, and the Mars base has begun preliminary scientific research tasks.
Xiao Zhen first connected to the Venus base through the command center's communication system. "Venus base, this is Xiao Zhen, reporting the current situation."
Dr. Lin, the person in charge of the Venus base, immediately responded: "Hello, Academician Xiao! The inspection of the Venus base is nearing completion, and all equipment is operating normally.
However, due to the extremely harsh environment on the surface of Venus, we discovered strong electromagnetic interference when we activated some high-precision scientific research instruments. The technical team is currently investigating the cause."
Xiao Zhen frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Lin, first check the instrument's protective shielding device to see if it was damaged during transportation or installation.
At the same time, analyze the characteristics of the interference source to determine whether it is caused by environmental interference from Venus itself or an internal fault in the instrument. Report any progress promptly."
"Understood, Academician Xiao!" Dr. Lin quickly turned around and conveyed instructions to the technician beside him.
Xiao Zhen then connected to the Mars base. "Mars base, this is Command Center Xiao Zhen, how are things going over there?"
Professor Wang, the head of the Mars base, said in a steady voice: "Academician Xiao, we have carried out the scientific research mission as planned.
However, when using the Mars rover for remote exploration, a brief interruption in signal transmission was found. Although it was quickly restored, this could be a potential problem.
In addition, some plants in the hydroponic farm have shown abnormal growth, and we are currently checking the environmental parameters and nutrient solution ratios."
Xiao Zhen listened to the report attentively and said, "Professor Wang, the signal interruption problem cannot be ignored. Check the communication lines and satellite relay equipment to ensure the signal is stable.
If there are any abnormal plant growth issues on the hydroponic farm, I'll compare the environmental parameters with the theoretical values and check the composition and concentration of the nutrient solution to see if there are any errors in the preparation process. Please keep me updated on any progress."
After arranging the response measures for the two bases, Xiao Zhen began to study the problems encountered by the two bases together with the expert team of the command center.
They carefully analyzed the data sent from the base, trying to find the root cause of the problem.
At this time, news arrived from the Venus base. Dr. Lin said anxiously, "Academician Xiao, after inspection, we found that the shielding cover of a scientific research instrument was slightly damaged, causing electromagnetic interference from the Venusian atmosphere."
We have carried out emergency repairs on the shielding cover and the instrument is now back to normal operation."
Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, Dr. Lin. We must strengthen regular inspections of instruments and equipment in the future, especially in such extreme environments. Any small negligence may lead to major problems."
In addition, we will develop a more comprehensive protection plan for electromagnetic interference in the Venusian atmosphere to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
Meanwhile, new information was coming from the Mars base. Professor Wang said, "Academician Xiao, we've found the cause of the signal interruption. A small piece of space debris approached Mars' orbit, briefly interfering with the satellite's relay signal."
We have adjusted the satellite's orbital parameters to avoid the debris path.
Regarding the hydroponic farm, we found that the concentration of a trace element in the nutrient solution was slightly high, which affected plant growth and we have made adjustments.
Plant growth is currently improving.”
Xiao Zhen nodded in agreement: "Professor Wang, we must continue to pay attention to the issue of space debris, maintain close contact with astronomical observation departments, and provide early warning of similar situations.
For hydroponic farms, a more sophisticated monitoring mechanism should be established to ensure that the plant growth environment is always in the best condition.”
As time went on, the Venus and Mars bases gradually got on track. The Venus base began to conduct in-depth research on Venus's atmospheric circulation and geological structure. Scientists used special detectors to collect seismic wave data from Venus's interior to analyze its geological structure.
The Mars base has increased its efforts to explore water resources on Mars. The Mars rover continues to move forward on the vast surface of Mars, looking for areas where water ice may exist.
However, new problems arose one after another. During a deep geological survey at the Venus base, the detection equipment suddenly malfunctioned.
Dr. Lin urgently reported to Xiao Zhen: "Academician Xiao, the deep geological exploration equipment suddenly stopped responding during operation. The preliminary judgment is that a key electronic component inside was damaged due to the high temperature and high pressure environment.
We attempted to repair it remotely, but due to the location of the damage, we were unable to do so."
Xiao Zhen looked at the images from the Venus base on the display screen, thought for a moment and said, "Dr. Lin, prepare to send maintenance personnel to carry out on-site repairs.
But before setting off, they must ensure they are equipped with the most advanced protective equipment and develop a detailed maintenance plan. The environment on Venus is too dangerous and no mistakes can be made in any link.
At the same time, the technical team simulated the repair process in the command center and provided remote guidance."
Under Xiao Zhen's command, the Venus base quickly formed a maintenance team.
