Chapter 95 Crater, a major discovery!

The location of the lunar outpost on Hawke Island, where the Luna 67 lunar module landed, is at lunar latitude 18° 160' south, longitude 18° [-]' west, on the edge of the lunar south pole.

Since the moon has no atmosphere, the days and nights are extremely long, up to 14.77 days, which is equivalent to half a month, so the climate here changes greatly. The highest temperature during the day can reach more than 100 degrees, and the temperature difference at night can reach minus 180 degrees. In some craters or shadow areas where the sun can never shine, the temperature can even reach minus 230 degrees...

Of course, this is only the most extreme temperature, and not every place has such a temperature all the time. Astronauts can choose the time to walk on the moon and other activities according to the actual situation.

However, for those craters or shadow areas that the sun can never shine, the temperature is always below minus 200 degrees. With the current level of human technology, astronauts still cannot enter this area.

However, the lunar rovers produced by Hawke Island can be used. Now there are 7 lunar rovers in the outpost, namely Queen III, Queen IV, Queen V, Queen VI, Queen Nine, Queen Ten and Queen NO.13.

Why is it not continuous in the middle?Because the missing models are experimental lunar rovers, they are still on the blue star and have not been sent to the moon.

These seven lunar rovers are divided into three grades. No. 1.5 to No. [-] are the first generation of lunar rovers on Hawke Island. They are relatively small in mass, less than [-] tons, and their functions are relatively simple.

Queen 3.7 and Queen 4.8 are the second-generation lunar rovers, with a mass of [-] tons and [-] tons respectively, which is basically equivalent to the mass of a small excavator...

The most advanced is Queen NO.13, which is the first third-generation lunar rover developed by Hawke Island. It has a mass of 10.8 tons and is currently the largest landing detection device launched by humans!And it is far ahead of the level!

For example, the Mars rover Perseverance in the United States has a mass of only about 1 ton... Dongguo's Yutu series lunar rover and Zhurong system Mars rover are only a few hundred kilograms...

The reason why Hawk Island’s lunar rover can be made so large is that, on the one hand, its carrying capacity and cost are far lower than those of other countries. On the other hand, it is because of the production technology of nuclear batteries, which allow them to The price provides kinetic energy for a lunar rover of this tonnage.

The fundamental reason why the lunar rovers and Mars rovers in the United States and the East are so small is the power problem. Without enough nuclear batteries, it is impossible to provide them with long-term stable and sufficient power. If they cannot move, they are meaningless.

Just like Queen NO.13, it carries a 1200-kilogram p-238 nuclear battery, which can provide more than 1000W of electric power and more than 15000W of heat radiation. Considering that the moon’s gravitational force is small, this power is completely enough for it to operate on any flat place. Unimpeded.

The large amount of heat radiation released by nuclear batteries can maintain its temperature at extremely low temperatures, so that the equipment will not be damaged by the low temperature and affect the work.

This also makes it possible to explore the craters or shadow areas on the moon that the sun can never shine!
Why explore these areas, because there may be a lot of water ice here!

Since the moon has no atmosphere and the temperature is extremely high during the day, human scientists once believed that water could not exist on the moon.

After all, the temperature is more than 100 degrees during the day, and there is no atmospheric pressure. It is impossible for water to exist in a liquid state. It is either a gaseous state or a solid water ice. With such a high temperature during the day, even if there is water ice, it will evaporate into water vapor and escape. up...

However, the Chandrayaan-[-] of the South Yin Federation and the moon crater observation and remote sensing satellites of the United States have proved that there may be water ice in the craters and permanent shadow areas at the north and south poles of the moon, and there may be a lot of reserves!

These places can never receive direct sunlight, so the water has been preserved in solid form until now.

But there is a problem. These areas are basically located in the moon crater. Not only is the terrain extremely "low-lying", but there are towering craters around them. Many of these craters are more than 7000 meters high, which is basically equivalent to the height of Mount Everest on the Blue Star. high...

It is too difficult to climb over these craters and enter the interior of the moon crater to detect. It is impossible for the lunar rover to do it...

It is possible to drop the probe directly, but it is meaningless. You cannot mine the water ice and transport it to the base in this way...

Build a moon base directly in the crater?That would be even more unreal. With such a low temperature and no solar energy, before the development of fusion energy, it is impossible to maintain such a base, and it will freeze to death...

This is actually the reason why the Blue Star countries have not established permanent bases on the moon. Without enough water, the moon base will always be a money-losing thing. You know, if you send water from Blue Star to the moon, it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars per ton. , who can afford it!

However, the Hawk Island lunar outpost found a possibility.

They discovered that there was a hidden mountain pass in the Colin Crater behind the outpost!
This mountain pass is extremely narrow, and it is impossible to observe it from the blue star. Even the probe has to fly a very short distance to observe it...

Through this mountain pass, it seems that you can enter the interior of the crater for detection!

This discovery surprised the six astronauts including Zhao Tianyang, they were lucky!
It is indeed very lucky, it is simply God and Buddha blessing together!

With the existence of this mountain pass, as long as enough water ice can be found in the permanent shadow area inside the crater, it can definitely be said that for a long period of time in the future, the location of the lunar outpost on Hawke Island will be the location of the moon. Go to the most important strategic location!
It is countless times more important than Shanhaiguan, Xingpo Island, Panama, and Suez on Blue Star...

The first city on the moon in the future must also be built in this location!
This discovery was quickly sent back to Hawke Island through an encrypted message.

After Roger Andre received the news, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly found He Xiao, and told him the good news as soon as possible.

"Not bad! That's great! You guys did a great job!" He Xiao said with an excited expression as much as possible.

But in fact, there was no disturbance in his heart. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? The reason why such a magical mountain pass appeared was because he had tampered with a topographic map of the moon before, and then made up a related word strip……

This mountain pass was actually drawn by him.

On the earth, he can create an island out of thin air, and on the moon, it is not difficult to create a mountain pass.

In fact, there are many gaps in the craters on the moon. The reason may be caused by the impact of early lava or new meteorites on the moon... So the difficulty of deriving this entry is not very high, only the difficulty of 54 readers...

It was also tested that this entry is feasible before, and if the Antarctic is limited, this location is the least difficult, so He Xiao decided to choose the Rainbow Valley as the site, and he has tested that there is indeed water in the permanent shadow area inside the Colin Crater. ice!

It's not a coincidence.

If there is God to bless, then God is himself.
