Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida took a towel, toothpaste and toothbrush, went to the public toilet to wash up, and then went to the kitchen to find something to eat. It was already working time, and all the astronauts except Qiao Ruida had gone to work. The entire living area was empty, and no one was seen. Fortunately, everyone remembered that Qiao Ruida, the non-staff astronaut, was there, and left breakfast for him. Today's breakfast was millet porridge with pan-fried buns, a very daily meal, which should be the craftsmanship of the only female astronaut Liu Mei. The taste was not bad, and Qiao Ruida was very satisfied with the meal.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruida changed into work clothes, left the living area, and went to look for other astronauts. He turned on the communicator, switched to the public channel, and asked, "Hey guys, where are you working?"

"My three partners and I are operating the lunar soil printer outside to build a small fusion power station." Xie Duanyang's voice sounded in the communicator. The so-called lunar soil printer is a set of equipment that uses lunar rocks and lunar soil, which are crushed mechanically and combined with a special adhesive as raw materials to 3D print houses and buildings. The main building of the lunar base was built with this equipment.

As mentioned above, the current lunar base is powered by nuclear batteries, which have limited power generation capacity and can only supply the daily electricity for five astronauts. Now there are five new astronauts in the base, and the power provided by the nuclear batteries is not enough. Fortunately, the Moon Run space shuttle not only brought five astronauts, but also a small fusion power generation device. What Xie Duanyang and his team are building is the protective shell of a small fusion power station.

"Boss Qiao, please get up. The four of us are in the equipment maintenance workshop next to the base, repairing and maintaining the earth-penetrating probe to prepare for the excavation of alien spacecraft this afternoon." This time, it was Zhou Xiaobo, from the official astronaut team, who spoke. In the past half month since the Chang'e space shuttle successfully landed on the moon, the first batch of five astronauts have never been idle and have done a lot of infrastructure work. Among them, the equipment maintenance workshop is one of their achievements. The equipment maintenance workshop, as the name suggests, is mainly used for the repair and maintenance of mechanical equipment. At present, the lunar base has a lot of equipment and tools of all sizes. The larger ones include earth-penetrating probes, lunar rovers, lunar robots, lunar soil printers, etc. These equipment work in the harsh environment of the moon all year round, and some electronic or mechanical failures are common. The equipment maintenance workshop is prepared for this.

"Liu Mei and I are in the plant planting area, picking fruits, vegetables and mushrooms. Mr. Qiao, if you have nothing to do, why don't you come over and help us?" Fan Zichao invited Qiao Ruida. Qiao Ruida has a special status. He came to the moon mainly to crack the access control of the alien spacecraft. He is not a formal astronaut, so no one arranges daily work for him. This is also the reason why all the astronauts got up this morning, but Qiao Ruida was the only one who stayed in bed, and no one called him.

"Well, I heard that you guys are pretty good at farming on the moon. Let me also broaden my horizons and try the vegetables grown on the moon. Will they taste better?" As he spoke, Qiao Ruida started walking towards the planting area.

Growing vegetables and grains is a traditional skill of our Chinese nation, something written into our genes. From the vast land in rural areas to the small balcony of an apartment building, they are all stages for everyone to perform, and all kinds of crops, vegetables, and flowers are grown. Space agriculture is a new agricultural field opened up after earth agriculture and marine agriculture, based on aerospace technology, and developed and utilized space environmental resources. It has a bright future and is promising. As early as the 1980s, my country started space breeding business. To this day, various high-quality varieties cultivated in space have been widely planted in China and appear on every Chinese table. After the construction of the first space station in my country, we tried to grow vegetables in space, but we were limited by the small space and did not persist. Now that the first lunar base has been built, we will naturally not forget the traditional art of farming, and have opened up an area for the cultivation of vegetables and mushrooms. On the one hand, it is to conduct lunar planting experiments, and on the other hand, it is also to provide astronauts with some fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. In addition, in the boring life on the moon, there is a green area on the dead moon. Going there often can also help astronauts relax.

Qiao Ruida opened the sealed door and walked into the planting area. Everything he saw was green. Various green leafy plants, under the illumination of plant growth lights, grew wildly and competed for beauty. In order to make full use of the space, a three-dimensional planting mode and soilless cultivation technology were adopted here. In a room of less than 100 square meters, dozens of tall iron racks were placed, with several or more than ten layers on which a large number of green crops were planted. Among them, green leafy vegetables with fast growth and short maturity period were mainly planted, such as leeks, spinach, green onions, lettuce, etc., and a lot of them were planted. Fruit-bearing vegetables, such as eggplants, tomatoes, and cucumbers, were also planted, but in much smaller quantities. At present, the planting time is still short, and most of them have only grown seeds, but no fruits have been produced yet. The only exception is cucumbers. I don’t know which variety they planted, but in just half a month, they grew small cucumbers with flowers and thorns on top, which are particularly fresh and tender.

In addition to vegetables, the second largest crop in the planting area is various mushrooms. Unlike vegetables, mushrooms are not plants, but fungi. They do not require light when planted. As long as there is sufficient nutrition and the temperature and humidity are suitable, they can grow quickly. They are one of the main sources of food for astronauts. Common oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and coprinus comatus are planted here. The enoki mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms used in the hot pot yesterday were produced here. In addition, some rare varieties are also cultivated, such as porcini, hericium erinaceus, chanterelles, etc., which are mainly used for research and are not planted in large quantities.

"Mr. Qiao is here. Take a look at the vegetables we planted. They are growing quite well!" Seeing Qiao Ruida, Liu Mei boasted complacently.

"Well, they are growing well, and they are very appetizing at first glance!" Qiao Ruida praised sincerely. Compared with vegetables grown in natural environments, which have to experience wind, sun, rain and insect bites, the growing environment of these vegetables in the planting area is much better. Not to mention the taste, the appearance is much better, they are fresh and green, and it is rare to even have a dry leaf.

At this time, Fan Zichao and Liu Mei were busy in the planting area, harvesting vegetables, cleaning petri dishes, mixing water and fertilizer, and testing the growth status of various plants. Qiao Ruida was born in a working-class family and rarely touched crops. He didn't like to play with flowers and plants, and knew nothing about plant planting. He stood by and watched for a long time, but couldn't help. Liu Mei couldn't stand it, so she taught Qiao Ruida personally and taught him several methods of mixing plant nutrient solutions, which made him busy.

The morning passed quickly, and Qiao Ruida and the other two returned to the residential area, each carrying a large basket of vegetables. The vegetable supply for the next few days was settled. Then it was time for Liu Mei's cooking performance, and Qiao Ruida and Fan Zichao followed to help, washing vegetables and dishes. Thinking that they would be able to eat the fruits of their labor at noon today, they felt quite accomplished.

The two groups led by Xie Duanyang and Zhou Xiaobo returned to the lunar base one after another. Lunch was quickly prepared, with three dishes and a soup, which was quite rich. The vegetables used were all picked in the morning. Only the pork, eggs and various seasonings for the side dishes were brought from the earth. The staple food was steamed rice made from long-grain fragrant rice. It is really rare to have such a normal meal on the moon. Ingredients need to be transported from the earth for hundreds of millions of miles, fresh vegetables need to be grown locally on the moon, and there needs to be an environment on the moon where normal cooking can be done. These three conditions are indispensable, and the current lunar base where they are located has these conditions. It is precisely because of the understanding of the difficulty that everyone feels very cherished when eating, and it is also particularly sweet.

After dinner, everyone took a short break and began to arrange their afternoon work.

As the person in charge of the lunar base, Xie Duanyang took on the task of assigning work. "This afternoon, I, Mr. Qiao, Zhou Xiaobo and I will take a drilling probe and go deep into the water ice to try to open the door of the alien spacecraft. The rest of you will stay at the lunar base and establish contact with us and the Earth Flight Control Center through video links to provide us with some references. Let's try to crack the code and open the door this afternoon." "Okay, commander!" "Understood, Boss Xie."

Everyone agreed and went to make their own preparations. Qiao Ruida put on the space suit he wore when he came here, replaced a battery and an oxygen tank to ensure sufficient flight time. Fan Zichao and several other astronauts helped to organize three large tool boxes and delivered them to the entrance of the base. Qiao Ruida tried to lift them. Each tool box weighed at least 200 kilograms, and he had to turn on the power system of the space suit to lift it.

"Oh my god, what's in this box? It's so heavy that it's hard to carry even with the power steering on?"

"That is, some laser cutters, acetylene cutters, electromagnetic blasting bombs, C4 and so on. These are all tools needed to open the door. Boss Xie has the specific list and usage."

"Now inside the base, there is an artificial gravimeter, and the gravity is the same as on Earth, so it feels heavy to carry. Once we leave the lunar base, the gravity will be only one-sixth of what it is now, and it will be easy to carry."

"One sixth of 200 kilograms, about 30 kilograms. It's not light. If there's no gravity system on the space suit, it would be difficult for me to carry it for a long time."

"Everyone is ready, let's go."

Xie Duanyang picked up a toolbox and walked into the airlock first. Qiao Ruida and Zhou Xiaobo picked up their toolboxes and followed them in. The coverage of the artificial gravimeter is limited to the interior of the lunar base, not the airlock. There is a huge difference in gravity just one door away, and the toolbox in his hand immediately feels much lighter.

Xie Duanyang closed the inner door and reminded them, "Everyone, check the status of your space suits outside the cabin again to make sure they are fully charged, fully oxygenated, and well sealed. If there are no problems, I will press the button to evacuate the space suits."

Qiao Ruida looked down at the space suit status indicator on the display panel. Several parameters were all green. "My space suit is in good condition. It will be fine for a day of outdoor activities."

"It's OK here too. I can create a vacuum." Zhou Xiaobo also confirmed the status of the space suit and echoed.

Xie Duanyang decisively pressed the red panel on the operation panel. A series of pitting sounds were heard, and the vacuum pump started to work. The air pressure reading on the display screen dropped rapidly. Five minutes later, the air pressure had dropped to near zero, which was not much different from a vacuum. At this time, the opening indicator light of the inner door had turned red, indicating that it was not polite. On the contrary, the indicator light of the outer door changed from red to green, and the locking mechanism was automatically unlocked, indicating that it could be opened.

Xie Duanyang opened the outer door and walked out first. Qiao Ruida followed closely behind and came to a desolate lunar surface again. Walking on the lunar surface again, the ultra-low gravity was difficult to adapt to for a while. He stumbled twice before adjusting. After the three of them went out, they turned right and walked about 200 meters to the range of water ice. Under the illumination of the searchlight, the large white area looked quite shocking. After advancing another 100 meters on the ice, they came to a simple shed built with steel plates. The ground drilling detector that had just been overhauled and the passages left by several drillings were inside this shed.

There is no crustal activity on the moon, nor is there wind, frost, rain or snow. Even if the earth-drilling probe is placed in the open air, it will not be damaged. The reason for building this shed is to prevent lunar satellites from other countries from running to the Antarctic to peek. After the new century, especially in the past two or three years, lunar exploration has once again become a hot aerospace project. If manned probes cannot be done, can't unmanned probes be launched? If unmanned probes cannot be done, can't a lunar satellite be launched? Therefore, there are at least a dozen satellites operating on the periphery of the moon today, including those from the United States, the United States, Europe, and island countries. Since the Pioneer lunar exploration spacecraft landed in the Aitken Basin, these lunar satellites have come to the Antarctic for a circle whenever they have something to do, even if they consume the remaining little fuel to change orbits and greatly reduce the life of the satellite. In order to prevent other countries from discovering that the Chinese lunar landing team frequently conducts underground exploration, and thus associate it with the existence of secrets underground in Antarctica, this shed was specially built to cover the earth-drilling probe and the underground drilling channel. Whether it is useful or not, it is for peace of mind.

The three-person team opened the iron door of the simple shed and walked in one by one. Since it was a simple shed, it was quite simple, with no lighting, no sealing, and nothing but a layer of iron. After the three people entered the shed, they relied on the two spotlights on both sides of the space suit helmets for lighting. (End of this chapter)
