Chapter 133 The construction of the lunar base was plagiarized

"Future safe nuclear reactions may rely on a variant of helium known as helium-3. Although weathering is rarely as high as 20 parts per billion, there is still a lot more helium-3 in the Sea of ​​Tranquility than on Earth. "

Netizens frantically typed "666" in the live broadcast room.

Only now do they understand how important it is to take the initiative in space.

"It seems that the resources on the earth have been almost allocated, but outside the earth, there are still so many precious resources waiting for us humans to exploit."

"I feel like Lao Chen, you can build your own country on the moon."

Netizens’ comments were quite bold.

Chen Yuan did not deny it.

It's not impossible if he really has this idea.

It's just that managing a country is too troublesome.

Rather than being a dictatorial ruler, Chen Yuan wants to use the technology he has mastered to develop more planets.

But if you really want to colonize all mankind, there is actually another problem that must be overcome.

Now Chen Yuan places his only hope on the water resources hidden in the moon.

"If you separate them into hydrogen and oxygen, they could also become fuel for rockets to Mars."

It's not a big problem for Chen Yuan to be able to isolate the dust by wearing a space suit.

"It's like what you're seeing now."

That's water.

Direct contact with human skin can cause severe allergic reactions.

Some netizens couldn't help but comment: "It looks like a hole made by some alien creature."

"The same is true on the moon. There are also a few volcanic activities on the moon's surface, which will promote the flow of lava from the interior to the moon's surface."

Moon dust is a type of magnetic dust that is everywhere.

"If all the shadowed regions on both sides of the moon had as much ice as the southern Cabeus crater, settlers could mine approximately 29 billion metric tons of water for drinking and farming."

He could only say: "Caves are geological structures that can be seen everywhere on the earth. They are formed due to groundwater impact and dissolution, stratigraphic fissure, rock wall collapse, volcanic activity, etc."

Chen Yuan was amused by the humor of netizens, but many netizens seriously suspected that it was caused by alien creatures.

There is even a very large cave not far away.

But it can be sold to other countries in the future, which can also make a lot of money.

"The lunar surface cools rapidly to form a hard shell, which covers the continuous flow of magma behind it. When the magma flows to low-lying areas, the rock walls will expand and contract due to the temperature difference, eventually forming large and small caves."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and then reacted. After some inspections, he quickly came to the conclusion: "This is moon dust entering the inside of the machine."

After jumping off the lunar rover, Chen Yuan and netizens saw countless caves along the way.

Immediately, some netizens asked: "Why did those machines stop?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several mining machines in front suddenly stopped working.

However, considering the current mastery of fission technology, Chen Yuan obviously does not need such basic fuel.

But once this kind of dust enters the machine, it will also cause the machine to overheat, reduce its service life, and in serious cases, the entire machine will break down.

"It seems that these mining machines need to be modified and optimized." Chen Yuan thought in his mind.

But there is an important question at hand.

That's the question of lunar residence.

After landing on the moon, the follow-up will be scientific research, resource extraction or infrastructure.

Carrying out these tasks requires a suitable residential base. But the moon is not like the earth. It is difficult to build tall buildings from flat ground.

And because of the special characteristics of the moon, solar radiation is also very large.

A group of experts from major countries quickly came up with a plan after realizing this problem.

In the temporary arched base, Chen Yuan made contact with Ying Ludong on Earth.

Thanks to the communication satellites previously launched to the moon, apart from the average picture quality, the video transmission of the Times is relatively smooth.

Although it occasionally stutters, it's not a big problem.

Ying Ludong at the other end of the video introduced the design plan of the lunar base to Chen Yuan: "A lunar base construction plan has been released."

"To put it simply, it is to use the characteristics of the lunar caves to install the main project of the base under the lunar surface, and use the natural topography and geology of the moon as external protection, which can not only increase the safety of the lunar base, but also reduce the difficulty and risk of base construction."

Generally speaking, the size of lunar caves is maintained at the size of hundreds of football fields, which can fully accommodate the construction of lunar bases.

Ying Ludong said in detail: "The implementation of the plan is divided into three steps."

"After the first step is to select a base location, we will launch an earth-penetrating bomb through the lunar space station, conduct drilling operations on the lunar surface, and open up the connection between the lunar surface and the cave."

"The earth-penetrating bomb we chose is a special weapon that can freely penetrate a certain depth on the lunar surface. At that time, the width of the hole can be made according to the needs."

"The second step is to launch the lunar bionic man. The bionic man can operate independently on the lunar surface. Its main task is to seal and reinforce the bombing hole to ensure that the base construction will not be affected by the vacuum and radiation of the lunar surface."

"Secondly, we need to go straight into the cave entrance, clean up the rubble and garbage caused by the bombing, level and clean the site, and prepare for the subsequent base construction."

"The third step is to launch the core module of the lunar base, which is also the core part of the base construction plan. It is composed of a telescopic structure that can be expanded into a cylindrical module in the cave to improve the comfort and quality of the base."

The core module mentioned by Ying Ludong can also add an inflatable cabin and a double-layer entrance dome to provide space for living and working on the lunar base.

In addition, it can also maintain communication with the space station and the earth, playing the role of information docking.

The inflatable cabins include scientific research cabins, energy cabins, collection cabins, rough processing cabins, launch cabins, etc., which play different roles in the base.

Because they are constructed in an inflatable manner, these cabin sections can be adjusted and replaced at any time, maximizing flexibility and adaptability.

After the lunar landing core module is built on Earth, it will temporarily dock with the space station, then wait in Earth orbit for the lunar cave to be cleaned, and finally be launched by the space station and land in the lunar cave.

The successful landing of the core module heralds the start of formal construction, such as lunar solar fields, communication stations, etc., which is intended to consolidate and strengthen the lunar base's survival and autonomy capabilities.

In the future, the lunar base will mainly play five major roles: scientific research, energy, collection, rough processing and launch. Launch refers to launching rockets to Mars to reduce launch costs.

The warehouse for storing rockets can be underground, and the launch pad can be on the lunar surface.

The other four major functions can all be completed underground.

Simply put, the core idea and advantage is to install all the main projects underground.

There are several advantages to doing this. First, the lunar surface temperature fluctuations are very exaggerated, and may fluctuate from 117 degrees Celsius to minus 173 degrees Celsius.

However, the cave temperature can remain constant at a constant 17 to minus 43 degrees Celsius for a long time.

The internal temperature of the launch core module can be maintained at 25 degrees Celsius.

Using the lunar landscape to cleverly avoid the challenges brought by the environment is really a coincidence.

And it is well known that the moon has no atmosphere.

High-intensity cosmic radiation and micrometeorite impacts will cause huge hidden dangers to the construction of lunar scientific research bases. However, caves naturally provide protection from radiation, meteorites and lunar dust.

This seems to be the most primitive method, but it is the most appropriate way.

Chen Yuan did not veto, but he did not immediately agree with the plan.

But as expected, this plan was actually copied by the Federation.
