Because entry into the Moon City must go through strict inspections, all kinds of pests on Blue Star have no chance to go to the moon to harm crops, so not a drop of pesticides will be used on the food and fruits grown on the moon.

Absolutely pure and natural, coupled with carefully cultivated high-quality varieties, especially the fruits grown on the moon, all are sweet and delicious, with unique tastes, and with the gimmick of being produced on the moon, lunar agricultural products are very popular in Blue Star.

Of course, after traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers to be exported to Blue Star, the price is naturally high and can only be sold as a luxury product.

In short, the various operations and technologies used in Moon City have been carefully designed and developed by Xia Yang and Citigroup.

In order to maximize the use of Moon City resources to create value.

For example, in the use of energy.

In order to utilize and collect the strong solar energy on the moon as much as possible, the main bodies of several lunar cities are hidden deep in the underground of the moon, but a large number of glass domes are exposed on the surface of the moon to let in more sunlight.

This kind of glass dome is the super moon glass jointly developed by Xia Yang and Citigroup. It looks like transparent glass, but it is actually harder and stronger than titanium alloy.

Each glass dome is bowl-shaped and covers the surface of the moon, like huge glass bubbles. In this way, none of the sunlight shining from all directions can escape and is captured into the underground city to provide energy for the moon city.

Because this type of bubble glass dome that collects sunlight is particularly large, with the smallest diameter exceeding one hundred meters and the largest exceeding five hundred meters, they are numerous and densely distributed on the lunar surface.

So it can be seen clearly from Blue Star.

Some experienced people from Blue Star used telescopes to see a few more bubble domes on the moon's surface, and they knew that Xia Yang and Citigroup had hollowed out a large area of ​​the underground and expanded the underground city.

For the Moon City, the bubble dome exposed on the moon's surface is the ventilation pipe of the underground city. As the underground city expands, several more will be built to ensure sufficient sunlight.

Of course there's nothing wrong with counting bubbles, it's just that Blue Star people do it when they're bored.

What they like most is to look at lunar mining through telescopes.

A few years have passed, and lunar mining has already entered into full swing.

Many countries have successfully landed on the moon for mining through the assistance of Leso and Citigroup.

Beyond that, there are many more private mining companies.

Because they all use advanced unmanned robot mining.

Therefore, no matter it is day or night, there are countless mining robots working on the surface of the moon.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Some small mines only have a dozen mining robots, while large mines have many mining robots, as few as hundreds, and even hundreds.

tower.

And these mining robots are all huge in size, like a tall building, more like a Big Mac, huge and powerful, and can dig out a hill on the moon with a shovel.

If a group of mining robots swarmed up, it would only take a short moment for a large lunar mountain to be flattened and disappear, all turned into ore and hauled away by giant trucks.

On the surface of the moon, there are various mechanical giants standing.

The same is true for the sky.

A large number of space transport aircraft continue to fly through the sky.

These space transport aircraft are extremely huge, more than ten or twenty times larger than the mining robots below.

Once these giant transport planes fly close, they completely block the sunlight in an instant.

These giant lunar transports are equipped with multiple jets.

There are four or six huge jets, and flames are constantly spraying out, crashing down, and carrying away all the mined ore.

Or transport giant mining robots over to mine more ore.

The scene is spectacular and shocking, it is simply an interstellar mining farm!

The moon has also become a resource star, providing resources for Blue Star.

Among these giant lunar transport aircraft is the Black Bat lunar transport aircraft developed by Leso.

It looks like a bat, is easy to recognize, and is extremely powerful.

Many people on Blue Star have seen with their own eyes that a Black Bat lunar transport aircraft loaded as much ore as a mountain, or loaded with seven or eight Big Mac mining robots at once, but it still flew fast and steadily.

.

In addition to the Black Bat lunar transport aircraft, there are also special lunar transport aircraft developed by several major consortiums such as Citi, which are equally large and have a load capacity no less than that of the Black Bat lunar transport aircraft.

With this kind of transport aircraft with a huge load capacity, the efficiency of lunar mining will undoubtedly be doubled.

In addition, the fuel used by this giant lunar transport does not need to be transported from Blue Star.

Because the fuel used by the lunar transport aircraft, like the rocket, is a mixture of methane and oxygen.

Both of these can be prepared in batches on the moon.

For example, oxygen, needless to say, can be obtained by electrolysis of water and compression, or mining of lunar minerals and chemical preparation.

The production of methane is even simpler. Moon City produces a large amount of domestic wastewater every day, as well as fast-growing plants, and can produce methane through biological fermentation.

Or also mine lunar minerals and prepare them chemically.

Therefore, big things like the Black Bat Lunar Transporter are only more expensive to purchase initially, but the later use costs are very low, even lower than on Blue Star.

Because the moon is so rich in various mineral resources, and most of them are not buried deeply, and many are even exposed on the surface of the moon, they are easy to mine.

However, in the early days of the moon landing, it goes without saying that whether it was lunar mining teams from countries like the Netherlands or private mining companies, most of their targets were lunar helium-3, a strategic resource.

Everyone makes a fortune.

Due to the advanced mining equipment and high efficiency, it is conservatively estimated that at least 20,000 tons of helium 3 are mined from the moon every year, which is 60,000 tons of helium 3 in three years.

Sixty thousand tons of helium 3 is absolutely an astronomical figure.

Of course, Xia Yang didn't dig too much, and he still didn't sell even a gram of helium 3, he kept it all. Over the years, he had accumulated a total of 10,000 tons of helium 3.

Some of it is mined by himself and some is purchased from other mining companies.

Although various countries have mined large amounts of helium 3, the price of helium 3 has not only not decreased, but has increased.

Because technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years.

In particular, nuclear fusion technology continues to make major breakthroughs and the technology becomes more mature.

As early as last year, Guangming Company publicly announced that it would be able to enter second-generation nuclear fusion in up to ten years. Second-generation nuclear fusion uses helium 3 as fuel. The electricity generated by then will be larger, cheaper and cleaner.

Helium 3 will soon be available.

Needless to say, if a large amount of helium 3 had not been mined from the moon, the price of helium 3 would have skyrocketed. How could it possibly drop in price?

However, correspondingly, the impending entry into second-generation nuclear fusion also brings a disadvantage.

That is the current generation of nuclear fusion power stations in use, and their prices have plummeted.

A million-kilowatt power station originally cost as much as 30 billion U.S. dollars, but now it can be purchased for only 5 billion U.S. dollars.

A 100,000-kilowatt power station is even cheaper. It originally cost 5 billion U.S. dollars, but now it only costs 500 million U.S. dollars, and it is smaller in size.

Of course, no matter how cheap the price of nuclear fusion becomes, it will still not be open to some countries, and some countries will even be blocked more tightly.

As early as two years ago, developed countries led by the United States organized and signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Fusion Technology, and Xia Yang also signed it.

There is no way, because the smaller the nuclear fusion is, the more powerful it will be.

With the size of today's nuclear fusion, it can be installed on an aircraft carrier. And with the strong and abundant power of nuclear fusion, the speed of the aircraft carrier can be greatly increased immediately, reaching a terrifying speed of more than sixty knots.

But that's not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is that if nuclear fusion is installed on a submarine, the speed of the submarine can even reach 80 knots, and it will be quieter and more secretive, and it will truly come and go without a trace.

It is conceivable that the consequences of this are disastrous.

By then, with the terrifying performance and high speed of nuclear fusion submarines, the warships and even aircraft carriers currently equipped by various countries will all be targets, and no one can escape.

The only way for various countries is to upgrade all currently equipped warships and aircraft carriers and equip them with nuclear fusion power.

But this cost is too high, and no country is willing to bear it.
