Chapter 435 Lunar Codex ([-])

After being busy for a long time, the three people in Chang'an unloaded 60 tons of cargo.

The Xuanwu-class spacecraft started its main engine again, spewing raging fire and returned to the lunar space station. Tomorrow it will transport 60 tons of cargo to the Dongfanghong Base again.

It was already 17:55 Peking time.

Zhu Gang drove back to the Dongfanghong base in a tracked vehicle.

"Is the transport ship gone?"

"Just left. We have sent the transport spacecraft to take those samples to the Lunar Space Station, and we will return to Blue Star on the 10th." Chang An nodded and replied.

"Has our package been delivered?" Zhu Gang asked suddenly.

"Package? Oh, you mean the 10 souvenir packages! They have already been sent up." Chang An was taken aback before realizing it.

The souvenir is that the Space Development Committee allows them, astronauts, to collect something on the moon, and each astronaut has a one-kilogram quota.For example, Zhu Gang collected a small bottle of lunar soil, a piece of lunar basalt, and a small meteorite as his souvenirs.

"That's good." Zhu Gang's souvenir was intended to be given to Lin Tranquility.

"Hurry up and change your clothes for dinner. After working overtime at night, you can install the fusion battery and the shield generator. Without the shield, I feel that I can't sleep or eat comfortably these days." Chang An asked Zhu Gang to change the spacesuit as soon as possible.

"Ok."

Because the moon has gravity, although it is not as strong as the blue star, it is more or less gravitational, and it is more convenient for them to eat.

Zhu Gang chose a Yangzhou fried rice, a bottle of sour plum soup, tiger skin green peppers, and boneless grilled lamb chops, and began to feast on them.

And Chang An ate very fast, as if there was something urgent.

"Why is the regular team so anxious?" Fang Haibo asked in surprise.

"No, I'll have a look at the planning map of Dongfanghong Base later, so eat faster." Chang An said with a smile.

"Slow down, don't choke."

"It's okay, it was so fast when I was in the army."

After a while, Chang An was wiped out a box of beef rice bowls. After disposing of the lunch box and disposable bags, he opened the holographic bracelet and looked at the planning map of Dongfanghong Base.

东方红基地整体呈现一个蜂巢结构，中间19个耸立的正六边柱体标准舱组成的底部，19个标准舱从底部向上依次3层19个标准舱，紧接着是3层7个标准舱，3层1个标准舱。

The main building has 9 floors, a height of 54 meters, and a total volume of 11340 cubic meters.

Then it is to extend and lay standard cabins in six directions from the main body construction, and it is initially planned to lay 6 extended standard cabins.

These 6 extended standard cabin belts will form 6 60-degree included angle areas, the first included angle area is used as the spacecraft station, the second included angle area is used as a storage area, the third included angle area is used as a processing plant, and the fourth included angle area As a scientific research area, the fifth included angle area is used as a residential area, and the sixth included angle area is used as an agricultural area.

In addition, there is a core area surrounding the main building, mainly the control center and power center, and the condensed matter shield generator is also installed on the top of the main building.

The condensed matter shield generator can cover an area with a radius of about 16 kilometers. This refers to the coverage area of ​​a single high-power condensed matter shield generator, and one can protect an area of ​​803 square kilometers.

These are just preliminary plans. It is expected that before the end of this year, the Dongfanghong base will control the entire Kravis crater, forming a lunar city with a main base and six auxiliary bases.

In addition, there is also a lunar mass projector planned to be built in the equatorial region on the front of the moon. The specific location is in the Ptolemy crater near the Central Bay.

Ptolemy crater is a nearly circular crater with a diameter of about 180 kilometers and a total area of ​​about 2.54 square kilometers.

For these huge projects, it is not enough to rely solely on Blue Star's blood transfusion, and the moon base must be partially self-sufficient.

For example, the space smelting process has been almost improved. Now the minerals on Iron Star No. 8 are used for a large number of tests. Through the neutron ionization of NN-1-[-], the minerals are ionized, and then the required elements are separated, and magnetic Fluid power generation and thermoelectric power generation methods recover heat energy while reducing vacuum heat accumulation.

This "heat energy recovery ion smelting system" has been able to successfully separate 21 elemental elements such as iron, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, gold, platinum, titanium, aluminum, etc., and the energy consumption is only equivalent to 60-70% of ordinary electric furnace smelting about.

Coupled with the cheap electricity generated by nuclear fusion power generation, this is the correct way to open it.

The lunar base will form self-hemopoiesis of basic materials, such as the sealed partitions of the standard cabin used to build the base, building materials for ground structures, etc., all of which will be produced by the lunar base itself.

Bluestar is only responsible for precision instruments, electronic equipment and the like, which is conducive to maximizing the benefits of the Bluestar mass projector system and avoiding the use of precious transportation capacity to transport building materials.

……

After reading the plan, Chang An hurriedly took Zhu Gang and the others to install the nuclear fusion battery in the power supply cabin that had already been prepared. After Fang Haibo pulled down the switch knife, the power of the entire base was supplied by the nuclear fusion battery.

The next step is to install the condensed matter shield generator, which is installed on the top of the master control cabin.

"Is Haibo connected to the power supply?" Chang An shouted through the short-wave intercom inside the spacesuit.

"It has been installed and can be tested." Fang Haibo replied.

Chang An immediately said to Song Quansheng in the master control cabin through the walkie-talkie: "Quansheng, activate the condensed matter shield, power 5%."

"receive."

Like a lotus flower blooming, the condensed matter shield quickly formed, covering everything within 800 meters of the master control cabin as the center.

After some tests, they chose 3% power to completely cover the base within a radius of 480 meters.

This sense of security allowed the four of Chang An to finally relax temporarily and have a good night's sleep.

Zhu Gang went back to his lounge, and sent an email to his girlfriend Lin Tranquility while he was still asleep.

[Darling, I have delivered the Moon Rock souvenir back to Blue Star today, and it will arrive in Shanghai around the 10th. You can ask Ning Xin to pick up the package when the time comes.

Today we installed the shield, and the Dongfanghong base has become a safe base. I am very much looking forward to your stepping on the moon with me.

Everything is fine here, don't worry about me, you have to take care of yourself. ...]
After writing the email, he clicked send, but due to communication delays, it took at least three seconds for Blue Star Ground to receive the email that spanned 36 kilometers.

At this time, the blue star was a June night when the moon was sparse. After Lin Tranquility saw the email, she quickly wrote back to Zhu Gang, and then she silently looked at the bright moon.

"Cough cough cough cough!" After coughing for a while, a fishy sweetness welled up her throat, and Lin Tranquility hurried into the room and pulled some tissues from the bedside table.

After wiping the snow-white tissue, it was stained red with blood. Lin Tranquility smiled wryly. The effect of chemotherapy was very poor. She didn't know if her body could last until October.

I really want to see my lover for the last time. Why does fate always like to play tricks on people? She thought bitterly.

Lin Tranquility, who was completely pale and haggard from the illness, fantasized about a bright future with Zhu Gang, getting married and having children and growing old together. Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep.
