At the Lagrangian point, the Tiangong space station is preparing for material delivery.

Just like a relay race, the mass accelerator delivers materials from the ground to the Tiangong space station, and then accelerates them to the moon via Tiangong's magnetic track.

In the control room of Tiangong, the controllers are making intense preparations. Next, they will launch the first batch of goods to the moon, the materials for building the interstellar logistics tower.

In order to facilitate the delivery of goods at any time, the magnetic track acceleration track of the space station is aligned with the direction of the moon.

"Track self-testing..."

The commander said softly that the control personnel who received the order energized the magnetic track acceleration track, but the current was very small, and it was only used to check whether the track's superconducting accelerator was operating normally.

After confirming that the track is operating normally, the staff sends the container into the accelerated track through the robotic arm.

"Report to the commander, the cargo is ready and ready to launch at any time!"

"3 minute countdown to launch..."

"Yes! The countdown to launch is 3 minutes!"

The space station's supercomputer begins calculating the cargo's launch trajectory.

The thrust of the cargo launch should be neither too large nor too small. If it is too large, the cargo will directly become a "shooting star". If it is too small, it may be affected by the gravitational force of the stars and deviate from the orbit. Therefore, the launch force should be such that the cargo can be captured by the gravity of the moon. , and immediately prepared to land on Guanghan No. [-].

"Tiangong cannon, level one preparation..."

The superconducting wire through which the current flows pours into the superconducting cannon...in the superconducting accelerated orbit.

"Tiangong cannon, level two preparation..."

The supercomputer calculates the orbit and adjusts the ampere force of the accelerated orbit.

"Tiangong cannon, level three preparations..."

Tiangong input the coordinates into the chip in the cargo box. After all, with such a long distance, the cargo box itself needs to be able to maneuver to a certain extent. Double insurance can ensure that the goods arrive at the destination accurately.

In theory, there is no difference between this thing and a precision-guided artillery shell. The biggest difference is probably that the warhead is somewhat different.

"Tiangong cannon, launch!"

Driven by the ampere force, the cargo box flew towards the moon.

"Next shipment, get ready! Launch!"

Box after box of prefabricated modules and materials flew towards the moon through Tiangong's accelerated orbit.

In just a few minutes, at least three hundred tons of infrastructure materials were ejected.

During the flight, these goods are constantly returned to the chips in the cargo box to correct the flight trajectory.

After arriving at the moon, captured by the gravity of the moon, it fell towards the surface of the moon, and then guided by three triangular positioning devices pre-buried near Guanghan No. [-], it was prepared to fall near Guanghan No. [-].

What the rabbit has to do is to continuously launch a large number of prefabricated modules to the moon, and wait until the materials are sufficient to build a lunar scientific research station that can accommodate a hundred people, before sending people to build it.

The advantage of this is that it can reduce the time, and the space engineers went to directly establish the interstellar logistics center and the scientific research station.

After launching all the cargo, the commander looked at the cargo boxes going away and said with a smile: "This is our last batch of cargo, and the space engineers should set off next."

In the space port of Tiangong, the three White Bird spacecraft are preparing for departure. What they carry in their hangars is not an iron ball, but an upgraded version of the iron ball, which is equipped with a tracked "steel tank" !

These steel tanks are equivalent to installing track modules under the iron balls, which makes the cross-country capability and load-bearing capacity of the reclining steel tanks stronger, and can easily carry heavy cargo to the destination.

"Control tower... this is Shiratori No. [-], please leave the port..."

"The control tower agrees..."

After receiving the order, Shiratori No. [-] disconnected from Tiangong and flew towards the moon.

"Control tower... this is White Bird No. [-], please leave the port..."

"The control tower agrees..."

After receiving the order, White Bird No. [-] disconnected from Tiangong, followed closely behind White Bird No. [-], and flew towards the moon.

"Control tower... This is Shiratori No. [-], please leave the port..."

"The control tower agrees..."

After receiving the order, White Bird No. [-] disconnected from Tiangong, followed White Bird No. [-], and flew towards the moon.

In space, the three White Birds lined up in a neat formation and began to gradually accelerate... The speed of the White Birds is getting faster and faster. After reaching the predetermined speed, the main engine is turned off and enters the inertial taxiing stage...

The cabin is full of sky engineers who have undergone long-term training, and everyone is a talent.

In order to simulate a more realistic space construction environment, nearly a hundred space engineers not only work in a gravity-free environment, but also enter the deep sea for module assembly training.

They need not only a strong body, but also an excellent psychological quality. In space construction, sometimes the psychological quality is more important than the physical quality.

Chapter 38 Lunar Research Station (8/15)

Moon.

Site selection for Guanghan No. [-].

There are a large number of cargo holds on the surrounding ground. As a mature cargo hold, it is essentially a drone, and you should learn to tidy yourself up.

The rear hatches of the three White Bird aircraft opened, and the "steel tank" in the Ganaku was put down.

The first thing these steel tanks do is to take out the wireless power transmission device and photovoltaic power generation equipment from the cargo hold.

Solar power generators processed from fractal silica convert sunlight into electricity and charge working steel tanks through infinite transmission towers.

It is still very shocking to have 25 steel tanks working together on the lunar surface.

Hundreds of space engineers are working in four shifts and are building the first building of Guanghan-[-], which is also the residential area on the ground.

It is unrealistic for people to live inside the White Bird for a long time. Not to mention the low efficiency, it will also waste the carrying capacity of the spacecraft.

So space engineers are building the living quarters of Guanghan-[-] day and night...

The space engineers opened the containers one by one, took out the prefabricated modules from the containers, and then assembled the living area like building blocks.

The entire living area covers an area of ​​500 square meters. Under the blood transfusion of Tiangong, [-] permanent staff are used to build the ground part of Guanghan No. [-]. With the continuous expansion of the living area, the number of permanent engineers inside is also increasing.

After the rabbit obtained the address data around Guanghan No. [-], it decided to close the entrance of Guanghan No. [-] first, and block the gaps one by one to keep the airtight state inside the cave.

Then build an elevator at the entrance of the cave, and then build it from the bottom up. The first thing is to build a fusion reactor underground. The material used is helium 3, which can be mined locally instead of transporting deuterium all the way from the earth. and tritium.

The construction of Guanghan No. [-] from the bottom up is really a century-old project.

"Let me see, the foundations are in container three..."

A sky engineer looked at his mission and drove the steel tank towards the third container.

Soon, container No. [-] was found through the identification system of the container. After the container was opened with the upper mechanical arm of the steel tank, the prefabricated module was taken out and drove to the predetermined location.

The container itself is also the material of the Guanghan No. [-] base, so that all the transportation capacity can be used.

During the creaking, the steel tank is carrying the prefabricated modules while crushing the pattern of the moon with its tracks. The engineer only needs to look up to see the human home planet.

"I thought working in the sky was very interesting, but I still feel a little boring..."

While muttering to himself, the engineer carried the prefabricated modules to the designated location, and then used the welding torch on the robotic arm to weld the prefabricated modules to the main body of the living area.

The surrounding steel tanks are like ants moving a house, carrying prefabricated modules one by one, and then welding them to the living song.

"Everyone pay attention to avoid, the container is coming!"

In the communicator, the voice of the foreman sounded, and all the steel tanks immediately put down their work and hid in the safe area.

The space engineers looked up and saw a few bright spots in the dark space, which were the indicator lights on the containers.

The container was attracted by the gravity of the moon, and its height continued to decrease. Soon the navigation module on the container was guided by the ground navigation module, and the attitude adjustment nozzle continuously ejected working fluid to adjust its flight trajectory. Finally, when it was close to the ground, the bottom of the container The nozzle pushes back and lands firmly on the ground.

After the first container fell on the ground, followed by the second container, the third container...

"Okay, the goods have been delivered, continue to work, everyone roll up your sleeves and work hard, in another fifteen days, the first module of our living area will be completed..."

"Don't worry, we will let the flag fly on the moon!"

After speaking, the space engineers continued to get busy, stitching together the living areas on the ground.

A week passed quickly, and with the joint efforts of space engineers, the surface living quarters of Guanghan-[-] were assembled.

Today is a special day to activate the first sub-living area of ​​Guanghan No. 100 Surface Living Area, which covers an area of ​​only [-] square meters and is a small scientific research station that can accommodate four people permanently.

The space engineers looked at the "little house" in front of them with a sense of pride, which was the result of their hard work for a week.

The entire scientific research station is divided into three floors. The basement is an energy power station and shelter, the first floor is scientific research equipment and a lunar garage, and the second floor is a small farm and living area where personnel are stationed.

"Attention everyone, prepare to accept the scientific research station..."

After hearing the words, several space engineers connected the energy supply alert of the scientific research station to the scientific research station.

Four sets of photovoltaic power generation devices are used to provide power for the scientific research station. The sunlight is converted into electricity to provide power for the scientific research station, and the surplus power is charged into the superconducting battery array in the basement.

"Energy connected..."

With the connection of photovoltaic power generation equipment and the power supply of the scientific research station, many devices have started to start.

"The electrical equipment is normal, ready to connect the oxygen tank..."

The steel tank connects one liquid oxygen tank to the oxygen supply in the living quarters, and the other steel holds the other oxygen tank to the supply.

The entire oxygen supply system has three sets of supporting equipment, which are divided into No. [-] and No. [-], and there is a spare No. [-] oxygen supply equipment.

The system gives priority to using the No. [-] oxygen tank. After confirming that the No. [-] oxygen tank is exhausted, it will switch to the No. [-] oxygen tank, and at the same time remind the resident reliable personnel to replace the No. [-] oxygen tank.

The No. [-] oxygen tank is used as a backup oxygen supply. Once the No. [-] and No. [-] supply equipment fails, the emergency No. [-] oxygen supply system will be activated.

[Oxygen line No. [-] is normal...]

【Oxygen line No. [-] is normal...】

[No. [-] oxygen line is normal...]

After confirming that all three oxygen tanks were normal, space engineers buckled the protective plate of the oxygen supply system to protect the oxygen system.

"Preparing to activate the internal life support system of the scientific research station..."

"Life support system activated..."

With the activation of the independent life support system inside the scientific research station, the sensors all over the place started to work, feeding back the collected data to the life support system.

【Internal temperature, -50...】

[The electric heating system starts and starts to heat up...]

After the computer receives the data, it first confirms whether there is a pressure loss (leakage) in the living area. After the system confirms that there is no pressure loss, the life support system fully adjusts the internal temperature, humidity, and air pressure of the scientific research station...

【The system is starting, please wait for the mediation...】

In the cabin of Shiratori, four members who will be stationed here for half a year for lunar scientific research have changed their spacesuits and are preparing to move into their new home.

Chapter 39 Happy New Year! (9/15)

The four scientific expedition members stepped on the lunar soil after passing through the second-level airlock of Shiratori.

The lunar rover was released from the garage, and the four scientific expedition personnel drove towards the scientific research station in the lunar rover.

The all-terrain lunar rover came to the first-floor garage of the scientific research station along the road paved by the steel tank.

The four scientific expedition members got out of the car, and the first thing they saw was the space engineers who were building the second area of ​​the living area.

To be honest, they don’t have any claustrophobic feeling on the surface of the moon. They can see the home planet of human beings when they look up, and they can see the space engineers rolling up their sleeves to work hard when they turn their heads. Except that they can’t take off their helmets, there is no What a difference.

They can even chat with space engineers if they want to.

For the team members to chat with each other, the foreman agrees with both hands. Chatting can help relieve psychological pressure. In the space environment, the boring gourd makes the foreman even more worried, for fear of psychological problems.

Working in space is much better than those working in the deep sea, at least it doesn't feel so depressing.

After the garage on the first floor of the scientific research station is opened, the lunar rover automatically drives into the garage, and then enters the charging area for charging.

The four scientific expedition members entered the scientific research station, and then closed the garage door to isolate the interior from the exterior. With the garage door closed, the internal lights were activated to illuminate the garage.

"We have successfully entered the interior of the scientific research station, and the scientific research station will be inspected next..."

"clear..."

After the report, the four of them walked towards the second-level airlock on the first floor.

The same as entering and exiting the White Bird, first enter the second-level airtight cabin, close the door, and start injecting air. After the system balances the air pressure inside and outside, the first-level airtight cabin door, four people enter the first-level airtight cabin, and then die. The airtight hatch of the headset was locked, and the four entered the interior of the scientific research station.

"This is the Guanghan Scientific Research Station. I am the captain Ding Lei. We have entered the interior and everything is going well..."
