Chapter 136, Hexamorphic Meteorite Diamond
At around 2019:10 on October 4, 14, Chinese time, five astronauts who landed on the moon successfully returned to Jiuquan Space Center with a large number of samples collected from the moon. Nan Junpeng and Li Yang chose to stay temporarily on the moon base, Wang Zhong and Yang Xing chose to stay in the "Moon Palace" space station for the time being.

The 4 people did not return to the earth this time, and their return time will be set back a week, waiting for the next group of astronauts to go to the moon to replace them. The expected return time is October 10.

Obviously, Huaxia is already planning to regularly organize aerospace planes to go back and forth between the earth and the moon. The establishment of a permanent moon base is not a joke, and it must become a normal state. Every week, there are space planes going back and forth between the earth and the moon. , Continuously transport materials and personnel to the moon.

Xiao Mingguang, Yu Haitian, Lan Yu, Liu Qi, and Ouyang Hao successfully returned to the voyage, and the whole China was naturally cheered. This means that China's manned moon landing this time has been a complete success. And it can return very smoothly. The moon will be my back garden in the future. I can go there whenever I want.

However, the celebration meeting was not held so soon, because there are still 4 space heroes still on the side of the moon, and the celebration meeting for the manned moon landing will not be held until all 4 of them return to Earth.

Although this celebration was not held so quickly, the large number of samples of lunar rocks, soil, etc. they brought back this time were in the hands of scientists in the first time. There are many advanced scientific instruments on the earth that cannot be moved. In space, scientists can wait until such a detailed analysis, and finally get more accurate and detailed information.

For example, the content of rare earth resources in lunar basalt, the difficulty of mining, the value of ilmenite, the difficulty and method of mining, etc. These are very important information for the next step of lunar mining. Only by clarifying these things , it will only be targeted when developing the moon in the future.

The one that attracted the most attention was naturally the huge spar discovered by Ouyang Hao. As soon as this spar arrived on the earth, Huaxia organized a team of scientists to analyze it with various scientific instruments. Soon the scientists came to the conclusion that this turned out to be a rare hexacrystalline meteorite diamond.

Simply put, the six-crystal meteorite diamond is Lonsdale Stone. There are only two pieces in the world, one in Uncle Sam's place and the other in Huaxia.The first person to discover this substance was called Lonsdale, so it was named after him.

The carbon content of diamond (called diamond after polishing) is more than 90%. The diamond on the earth has four diffraction lines in the light diffraction test, but this hexacrystalline diamond has six diffraction lines in the test, which is different from that on the earth. Similarly, it is something that can only be found in outer space. In layman's terms, it is a diamond in outer space. The Chinese piece is worth 2500 million US dollars.

You must know that Huaxia's six-crystal meteorite diamond weighs only 43.03 carats, and its purity is far inferior to the one found on the moon. In 2003, its estimated value was as high as 2500 million US dollars. Now Its value has already exceeded 5000 million US dollars.

The six-crystal meteorite diamond that Ouyang Hao found on the moon is of higher purity, very large in size, and weighs more than 4 tons. It is no longer calculated in carats. Its value is estimated to exceed 5000 billion dollars. Just estimate based on market price.

It is false to say that someone is willing to spend 5000 billion US dollars to buy it, and Huaxia has no intention of selling it at all, but plans to put it in the Huaxia Aerospace Museum and display it as a publicity tool, and Named "Moonlight"!
Because this huge hexacrystalline meteorite diamond is not only a diamond, but also emits dazzling brilliance like a moon pearl in a dark environment, which is why its value can be estimated One of the important reasons for the sky-high price of 5000 billion U.S. dollars.

For Huaxia as a whole, it doesn't matter whether "Moonlight" is sold or cut. At the peak of foreign currency, it was only 5000 trillion US dollars, which is the valuation of 4 "moonlights".

Countless people can't help but imagine that if they can find similar gems on the moon, let alone 5000 billion US dollars, even 5 million US dollars is enough, and getting rich overnight is nothing more than that.

The whole of China has set off a topic about lunar treasure exploration. Now the Chinese government has made it clear that it will officially open the moon to China at the beginning of next year when the conditions gradually mature. At that time, individuals can travel to the moon, mine minerals, and explore. etc.

This undoubtedly greatly stimulated the desire of the entire China to expand abroad. The rich resources on the moon, a large number of treasures, etc. have greatly stimulated private capital and power. If the No. 19 document at the beginning of [-] is just the beginning, So this time, almost the whole of Huaxia has been deeply attracted.

You must know that the astronauts who landed on the moon found the "Moonlight" six-crystal meteorite diamond worth 5000 billion US dollars after only a short search near the lunar base. Such craters and extraterrestrial meteorites are not known on the moon. How many there are, which means that the moon is full of countless treasures.

From the news media to the headlines on the Internet, from the upper class to the ordinary people, the eyes of the whole of China have been focused on the moon at this time, and all kinds of information about the moon have spread throughout China, and even many elementary school students have already Can recite the maria and important place names on the moon.

As for the power and capital of the nation, they are beginning to gather together. These well-informed people have received news from various channels. The high-level officials of China intend to stimulate the development of space in China. In the future, the moon will definitely be developed externally. At that time, lunar exploration, tourism, mining, etc. will soon emerge. Now is the period of preparation. If you want to drink and eat meat in the future, you must start working hard to prepare now.

Huaxia is even preparing to hold a grand manned moon landing exhibition. It will display a large number of rock samples, soil samples, etc. brought back from the moon. Of course, the "moonlight" diamonds are indispensable in it. Stimulate the enthusiasm and passion of the Chinese nation to explore abroad.

On October 10th, the leader of the polar bear country came to China, and the representatives of the two sides had a cordial meeting. Naturally, the Chinese diplomats proudly introduced to the leader of the polar bear that China has made great achievements in the space field. In the end, they gave a very generous gift Give the polar bear a lunar basalt with a mass of 7 catties as a gift.

Giving stones as a national gift was only done by Uncle Sam in the past. China once gave Uncle Sam a very precious gift as a testimony of the friendship between the two countries, but Uncle Sam’s gift in return included a stone weighing only 1 gram Samples of lunar rocks.

Of course, it cannot be said that this 1 gram of rock samples is worthless. The cost of collecting gifts from the moon is very high. Although it is only 1 gram, it is also a very precious thing. It was taken from the moon. something back.

But I still have to say that Uncle Sam is shameless, the gift is too stingy, it is only 1, very small, but at the time, it seemed that this was also a way for Uncle Sam to promote his strength.

The whole earth was able to land on the moon, and only my Uncle Sam was able to collect things. From the national level scenes, we can see the pride of Uncle Sam at that time.

Now Huaxia is naturally learning from Uncle Sam and giving stones as gifts, and countries that are not heavyweights don't want to get this precious gift. You must know that these are stones collected from the moon.

Of course, Huaxia has been very generous since ancient times. Naturally, it is impossible to be as stingy as Uncle Sam. He only gave away 1 gram of small stones.

Naturally, the National Treasure Gun Gun would have to protest. He agreed to send me out as a gift, so why did he start sending stones properly!
It is natural that Huaxia can generously send 10 catties of lunar basalt as a gift, because the samples of rocks, soil, etc. brought back by the "Houyi" are very large, far exceeding those collected by Uncle Sam when he landed on the moon. The amount, and the frequent trips to and from the moon in the future, naturally can be more generous.

If you use a lunar spacecraft to land on the moon like Uncle Sam did when he landed on the moon, the rock samples that can be carried are naturally very rare, and naturally you will be as stingy as Uncle Sam.

It can be said that in the whole of China, when the country holds talks with other countries, it is inevitable to talk about China's great achievements in the field of space, and give moon stones and other gifts as gifts; The common people are also indispensable to be proud of each other for the strength of Huaxia.

Of course, more people are constantly recruiting and buying horses, sharpening their knives and rushing like pigs. The eyes of private capital and power have turned red now. Various reports about the rich resources of the moon, coupled with the current "moonlight" The sky-high valuations of diamonds, etc., all tell everyone that there is no Chang'e, Wu Gang, or little white rabbit on the moon, but there are mountains of gold and silver waiting for everyone to dig.

As long as you are lucky enough to go to the moon to explore, go mining, etc., you may be the one who discovers the next "moonlight" diamond, and it is entirely possible to get rich overnight.

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests!
