The aircraft carrier has been launched into the water, and you still call it a toy?

Chapter 154 The Beginning of the Moon Construction Project!
After they mined a lot of minerals, they just piled them up in the warehouse, waiting for the arrival of the cargo spacecraft, and transported the minerals back to Blue Star for refining and purification.

Not to mention the low efficiency, it is also a waste of space resources.

Because of these unpurified minerals, there are not many usable parts.

The available part here refers to the rare mineral elements on the blue star, or some unique elements on the moon.

These are what they want.

Common elements on blue stars like iron, titanium, aluminum, silicon, magnesium, and calcium are not worth transporting from the moon back to Daxia for refining.

That's not enough for the cost of a space launch!
Therefore, the cost of transporting these minerals back to Blue Star for refining is very high.

In the past, the lunar soil was precious, because there were too few lunar samples collected, which were not enough for research.

But at present, Daxia has obtained sufficient lunar soil and various minerals.

Not only is it enough to do research by yourself, but you can also sell a lot, so that scientific research institutions in other countries have also obtained relatively sufficient research samples.

Using this almost extravagant method to collect a large amount of lunar soil and other minerals from the moon is not worth the candle.

This is also an important reason why Sucher must speed up the pace and promote the large-scale construction plan on the moon!
After all, compared to bringing crude lunar ore to Blue Star to refine it, the utilization rate is only a few percent, or even a few tenths of a percent.

It is obvious that the transportation efficiency is higher by building a large-scale professional refining factory on the moon and only transporting the purified moon ore to Daxia!

According to Sucher's first phase plan.

At least ten large-scale refining plants must be established on the moon to meet the needs of the first stage.

The rich ore areas on the moon are not all concentrated, so these factories must be arranged near some large rich ore areas in the initial stage.

Around each factory, corresponding residential areas, leisure areas, consumption areas and other facilities should also be established.

After the big construction plan enters the second stage, based on these factories, at least ten towns can be developed!
This is just a factory for refining mineral elements.

In addition, others are like lunar machinery and equipment factories, factories for the production of various living materials, factories for various consumer goods, and so on.

All are essential.

Under such circumstances, Sucher first visited and inspected the various industrial fields of the Super Industrial Park.

In the agricultural machinery factory, the person in charge of the park introduced the achievements of the agricultural machinery factory during this period of time.

"Director, these are some vehicles and machinery specially developed by our park for use on the moon!"

"This is a large lunar transport vehicle with a load capacity of 50 tons, which can greatly improve the transportation efficiency from the mining area to the factory!"

"This moon bus can transport 60 astronauts at one time and travel to the moon within a range of [-] kilometers!"

"This heavy-duty paving vehicle can lay about one kilometer of simple solidified road per hour, which will greatly facilitate the transportation speed from the mining area to the factory!"

"This..."

Under the introduction of the person in charge of the park, Sucher gained a deeper understanding of himself for these mechanical vehicles and other equipment.

The agricultural machinery factory seems to have a very earthy name.

In fact, factories of this type are often hung up in batches!
In the past, the agricultural machinery factory was a great unit capable of producing all kinds of military machinery and vehicles, not to mention all kinds of armored vehicles and tanks!

Now there are certain restrictions on the demand for these equipment, but there are not many orders.

Therefore, Sucher's order can bring quite good benefits to the agricultural machinery factory to a certain extent!

These small to large, even heavy mechanical equipment were not built from Daxia and launched directly to the moon.

Instead, on the premise of thoroughly understanding the relevant technologies, directly build the production plant on the moon!
So the agricultural machinery factory will not only bring the technology of various lunar vehicles to the moon.

A R&D and production team of hundreds of people has also been recruited!
Among them, the research and development team can adapt measures to local conditions on the moon and design a new type of lunar vehicle that is more suitable for the special environment of the moon!

The technical production team is responsible for the production and construction of these new equipment.

After visiting the agricultural machinery factory.

Sucher then came to the smelting industrial park.

At that time, in addition to a group of mature workers, they will go to the moon to work together.

Others, such as various smelting equipment and experienced technicians, will also be fully equipped.

If there is no accident, for a long time to come, smelting personnel will be the most occupations on the moon.

At the same time, the number and scale of factories will also be the largest and largest.

After all, from the current point of view, the essence of lunar exploration is to develop various resources on the moon.

Therefore, smelting and purification is undoubtedly the most important link.

However, the smelting branch in the super industrial park is more about researching the technology of smelting and extracting various rare and special elements.

It is a research institute, not a factory.

Things like smelting skilled workers and equipment are all planned by the Daxia Metallurgical Industry Bureau.

The person in charge of the smelting branch in the super industrial park is also the deputy director of the Daxia Metallurgical Industry Bureau.

Therefore, there is no need for Su Che to worry about this matter.

After leaving the smelting branch, Sucher went to the shipbuilding industry again.

Last time, Chen Yiming calculated that there will be more than 800 people working on the moon in the shipbuilding industry.

The real skilled workers occupy a large part of it.

It stands to reason that lunar exploration will not use the shipbuilding industry.

However, Sucher gave the shipbuilding heavy industry quota, and he valued those welders in the shipbuilding heavy industry system whose skills had reached perfection!
In the construction of lunar bases, ordinary buildings may be constructed with lunar soil as the main material.

But for some large lunar buildings, steel must be indispensable in the construction process.

The large-scale factory building with the steel structure frame as the main body must be a certainty when it comes to the construction of the moon!
As long as this structure is used, electric welding is indispensable.

Therefore, these hundreds of experienced welders honed by the shipyard came into Sucher's sight.

The rest, such as food processing factories and clothing factories, are also on the list.

that's it.

Sucher finished a circle and got a very impressive number.

More than [-] people!

This is just the first batch of confirmed places!

If you count the follow-up.

Then the 5 people needed for the first stage will be gathered soon!
And with the continuous development of the big construction plan for the moon, 5 people may become [-] in a short time!
Even 20 million!

As long as the previous foundation is laid, the latter is just a question of the frequency of launching launch vehicles.

……

The targeted aerospace training of the 'moon builders' will begin soon.

Although the intensity of these trainings has been much, much lower than that of real astronauts.

And in terms of strength, it is far below the standards of previous astronauts.

But even so, some people will still be eliminated.

Of course, new personnel will be added to the training.

However, tens of thousands of people started training together, which put a lot of pressure on the aviation schools all over Daxia.

Because some professional training facilities to be used, other than the space center, are only available in aviation schools.

Such a terrifying number of people has far exceeded the number of students in those aviation schools.

And there are still a steady stream of people joining in the follow-up.

no way.

Aviation schools around the world had to urgently purchase a large amount of training equipment to meet the emergency.

Fortunately, through a series of contingency measures, the training problem of tens of thousands of people has been solved.

However, how could Daxia's big move be hidden from others!
Not long after.

The countries got the news from Daxia.

But for a while, no one can guess the truth.

In the octagonal building.

An emergency meeting was going on in response to the sudden overcrowding of various aviation schools in Daxia.

One after another satellite photos were placed on the big screen in front of everyone.

"Gentlemen, can anyone tell me what Daxia is doing now!?"

The commander asked, pointing to those photos.

It's no wonder they were so nervous, mainly because Da Xia's move was so sudden!
It's like rushing for some urgent matter.

It looks very abnormal.

"I think Daxia is recruiting pilots!"

"Everyone, don't forget, the super aircraft carrier that Daxia just entered into service!"

"A carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier needs a large number of pilots!"

"So I think, this is Daxia's pilot selection training!"

A high-level analysis of the Air Force said.

His analysis won the support of many people, who believed that this was the purpose of Daxia.

However, others expressed doubts.

"Pilot selection!?"

"Then this number is too much!!"

"According to the data we have obtained, the number of these training personnel has exceeded 3!"

"Train [-] pilots at once!? Is Daxia crazy, or are we crazy!?"

"Even if you count Daxia's aircraft carriers that are still in the dock, Daxia won't need so many carrier-based aircraft!?"

His analysis also won the support of many people.

After all, according to common sense, there is no country like Daxia, where tens of thousands of people are devoted to training at once.

And there are still many doubts in it.

For example, the ages of those who participated in the training were uneven.

The young ones look just like adults, and the old ones even look like they are five or sixty years old!

They had never heard of any family that would accept applications from the elderly!

And the proportion of young people is not the largest.

A large number of middle-aged talents are the mainstay of these people receiving training!

This confuses them even more.

"My God! Do you want to hear what you're talking about!?"

"Astronaut Selection!!??"

"Are you kidding!? There are tens of thousands of people!!"

"Big Xia wants to select tens of thousands of astronauts??"

"..."

In the face of people's incomprehension and doubts.

The deputy director of NAS said: "I know everyone has doubts, but my speculation is not without basis!"

"It is now obvious that Daxia's aerospace technology has surpassed ours in some areas.
"They have established a long-term resident lunar base on the moon, and even shipped back a large amount of lunar minerals to Blue Star!"

"In this case, they have a large demand for astronauts!"

"The pilot is the basic requirement for becoming an astronaut, so their flight school recruits so many students!"

"As for the huge difference in the ages of those students, I think those who are older may be payload experts or something..."

"The selection of astronauts with a scale of tens of thousands of people is extremely rare in the entire history of Blue Star!"

"Based on the number of these tens of thousands of students, excluding those who failed to pass the training, Daxia's demand for astronauts is about 3000!"

"Such a large reserve of astronauts shows that Daxia may make big moves in the future!"

As Amelika's space agency.

NAS naturally has a relatively deep understanding and research on Daxia Aerospace.

That's why there was such a guess when there were so many people in the aviation schools all over Daxia.

When the director of NAS finished speaking, some of the crowd showed expressions of disbelief, while others showed contemplative expressions.

"Even with our training level, it takes three to four years to train an astronaut, and two to three years to train a payload expert."

"The training level of the astronauts in Daxia is a little worse than ours. It is estimated that it will take four or five years to train this group of astronauts to a level capable of performing various complex tasks."

"So we speculate that after four or five years, there will be amazing big moves in Daxia!"

The deputy director of NAS said again.

"Four or five years...that's okay..."

"We will not stand still in the past four or five years. Didn't Mark say that the starship has made new progress?"

"During this time, we will also establish our own base on the moon!"

"Otherwise, those rich and precious resources on the moon will be snatched up by Daxia!"

"Their huge plan may be to seize the resources of the moon..."

There are different opinions in the conference room, and they all feel that Daxia is conducting aerospace training on a large scale, and there must be some important purpose.

It is likely to be preparations for the development of lunar resources.

After all, Daxia has already verified the possibility of large-scale mining of lunar minerals and a series of benefits obtained from mining lunar minerals.

Da Xia, who has tasted the sweetness, will not give up this plan, and will only increase efforts to promote this plan!

After thinking about this, everyone in the conference room had different thoughts.

What the Intelligence Agency was thinking about was how to deploy some manpower so that they could more accurately understand the truth of what Daxia did.

On the NAS side, what they were thinking about was how to get more funding to advance Amelika's space program.
