Chapter 23: Lunar Exploration
"This is the Moon Running Group, which has entered the orbit of the moon."
"Can be put on." Radio waves came from the space station in the earth's orbit. Since the moon was a little distance from the earth, a command center was set up in the space station. The person in charge was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was selected from various command centers and had extremely rich and professional knowledge. Of course, he also learned the Shenhe martial arts and was deeply fascinated by it. He never expected that such martial arts would actually exist in reality. Of course, after half a year of practice, he could reach two or three times the intensity of ordinary people, which allowed him to complete his mission well in space. Of course, this group of people is like this, but it was just early and late. Fortunately, he was the first group of people and his strength was the strongest. Moreover, he also realized that the country's arrangements were probably of its own deep meaning.
As the flowers fell, Kunlun opened its side door, and two modified space fighters left the warehouse. Against the blue background, the trauma left by the last battle had been repaired, which was no different from the original appearance. The modular design can quickly restore Kunlun. Under the guidance of Kunlun, the two space fighters arrived on the moon.
Compared with Shenyu and Kunlun, the exploration of the moon does not make people excited. In fact, many netizens have told the truth. Since there are even space warships, it will not be too far away when we transform other planets and colonize other planets. So just detecting the moon, what can make people feel excited?
However, the country will naturally not disappoint the people this time. Although it was not broadcasted throughout this time, it also took out some of them to share with everyone. For example, the first introduced in detail the transformation of Kunlun after this war and other detailed data were given one by one. In the past, these data were hidden, which also shows that China no longer valued Kunlun as it was at the beginning, so it released these data. Of course, doing so also eliminated the possibility of Kunlun becoming a member of the fleet. In the future, Kunlun's role will be detection, and the main warships will be warships like Shenyu.
After all, Kunlun is more suitable for short-distance space travel in all aspects, but its long-distance itinerary (in light years) in the future will definitely not be suitable for Kunlun. This is not to say that Kunlun is not good, but to say that Kunlun has never thought about long-distance travel at the beginning of its design. On the contrary, Kunlun is very suitable for current transportation, detection and other tasks. It has very weak wings and will lose the opportunity to land after being hit. It is obviously not suitable for combat, but on earth it is very easy to take off and use less fuel and has become the most suitable aircraft for transporting materials from the ground. In fact, China's positioning is also the same.
The reason for introducing Kunlun is to attract customers. You read that rightly, it is to attract customers. Of course, it is just a small aerospace plane. According to experts' estimates, it will take seven to eight years for other countries to propose theories and start trial production. The country means that at that time, the external production of Kunlun aircraft of this level is opened. After all, the money required for spacecraft production is too high. Now, there is a shortage of money!
In addition to this, we are also introducing the space fighter. This fighter shines in this battle. Of course, the first generation that appears in front of people this time is the second generation of space fighter that uses the most advanced battery-powered energy recoil device. This fighter has greatly enhanced its battery life due to no fuel constraints. This is also because the girl has brought out a new battery. After all, the new battery can fully meet the needs of all aspects of the space fighter with the cooperation of the light energy panel. The second generation fighter is more in line with people's minds for the space war.
The aircraft is positioned, flexible, has good firepower, long-term battery life, and is very concealed. It can perform tasks alone. Compared with the next generation of cosmic fighter, it is simply a slag. Due to the constraints of power, the flexibility and battery life of the first generation of cosmic fighter are too poor. This is also the reason why the country gave up the first generation of fighter. Another reason is that the girl has agreed that in three years, the country will obtain the technological authorization of the energy recoil device and obtain all the information of the energy recoil device. This is not given slowly, but all of it to the country.
In addition to the space fighter, there is another thing that has attracted everyone's attention, that is, power armor, which actually has a high status among the people. Why? The reason is that the country has not announced this news, and the United States has begun to experiment with this weapon that can greatly enhance individual combat. This has made many people feel that China is so powerful and does not have anything in this area. It is really a bit unfamiliar. However, when the power armor is released, everyone has instant confidence. It turns out that it is not that there is no, but that it has been hidden. When you look at the appearance, it is cool. The black main theme and the design with a strong sense of technology make people see the first thing they see.
I fell in love with it. Of course, according to the country's explanation, this power armor is expensive and can only be used by space troops at this stage to ensure their personal safety. The lunar survey team dispatched this time is the wearer's power armor. Of course, this power armor is not the newly developed type of girl, but the ordinary version modified. The country ordered a batch of power armor for people who were special events, but some were left for research. This time the power armor was modified by the country, and an oxygen tank was sealed inside. Of course, this oxygen tank was plug-in and hung behind without affecting the action, which can provide up to 72 hours of human activities.
As soon as the country is disclosed, some countries will immediately understand that this is the rhythm of buying and selling! I have to say that the politicians in these countries are indeed very smart and can immediately understand what China means. They all went to China and wanted to order aerospace planes. Of course, there are conditions for ordering, that is, within 20 years, no artificial damage to the airplane can be done. Once you find someone violates this, of course it is not that you will not sell it. You can buy it, that is, you must increase it five times at the normal price. The price of aerospace plane is 500 million, and the unit is US dollars, which is five times higher. You can calculate it yourself. Of course, for some countries, 500 million is not unacceptable, especially for some small countries, although they use China to build it.
The space station was set up, and China also agreed to help transport the materials needed by the space station, but how could other countries know about some private experimental items? So these small countries made up their minds and bought them not to study this aerospace plane, but just to be uncontrollable. Of course, in essence, within China's space station, they are still admitted to China, so their second step is to unite and build a space station to ensure independence. China is well aware of their big ideas, but it has not opposed it. Although China's status has been greatly improved after several major events, its money has indeed shrunk a lot. Therefore, it is very important to do aerospace engineering money, and China can only compromise with this money.
Of course, this so-called detection is just a paving road and there is nothing to pay attention to. However, the profound meaning of it makes other countries restless. You should know that the moon has a lot of resources. The moon's shell is composed of a variety of main elements, including: uranium, thorium, potassium, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminum and hydrogen. When bombarded by cosmic rays, each element emits specific gamma radiation. Some elements, such as uranium, thorium and potassium, are already radioactive and can emit gamma rays on their own. However, no matter what the cause is, the gamma rays emitted by each element are different. Each has unique spectral characteristics and can be measured by spectrometers. Humans have not yet made surface measurements of the abundance of the lunar elements. At present, the measurements of spacecraft are limited to part of the lunar surface.
The moon has rich minerals. According to reports, the amount of rare metals stored on the moon is more than that of the earth. There are three main types of rocks on the moon. The first is lunar sea basalt rich in iron and titanium; the second is plagiarite, rich in potassium, rare earths and phosphorus, and is mainly distributed in the lunar highlands; the third is mainly breccia composed of 0.1 to 1 mm of rock fragments. Moon rocks contain all the elements in the earth and about 60 minerals, of which 6 minerals are not available on the earth.
The moon is extremely rich in mineral resources, and the 17 most common elements on the earth are everywhere on the moon. Take iron as an example. Sand soil of only 5 cm thick on the surface of the moon contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire moon surface is 10 meters thick on average. The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely rich, but also convenient for mining and smelting. It is reported that the iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, and it is enough to separate oxygen and iron; in addition, scientists have developed ways to use lunar soil and rock to make cement and glass. On the surface of the moon, the aluminum content is also very rich.
The lunar soil is also rich in helium 3. Helium fusion using deuterium and helium 3 can be used as the energy for nuclear power plants. This fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, and is an easy-to-control nuclear fusion. It can not only be used on ground nuclear power plants, but also is particularly suitable for space navigation. It is reported that the content of helium 3 in lunar soil is estimated to be 715,000 tons. For every ton of helium 3 extracted from lunar soil, 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon can be obtained. From the analysis, due to the large amount of helium 3 on the moon, it is undoubtedly a timely help for the earth where energy is relatively scarce in the future. Many aerospace powers have regarded obtaining helium 3 as one of the important goals for the development of the moon.
There are 22 major lunar seas distributed on the surface of the moon. Except for the East China Sea, the Moscow Sea and Zhihai are located on the back of the moon (the side facing the earth), the other 19 lunar seas are distributed on the front of the moon (the side facing the earth). There are a large amount of lunar sea basalts in these lunar seas. The volume of basalts filled in the 22 seas is about 1,010 kilometers, and the lunar sea basalt contains rich titanium, iron and other resources. If the ilmenite content in lunar sea basalt is 8%, or the titanium dioxide content is 4.2%, then the total resource of ilmenite in lunar sea basalt is about 1.3×1015~1.9×1015. Although this estimate is very speculative and uncertain, it is certain that the abundant ilmenite in lunar sea basalt is one of the most important mineral resources available for development and utilization on the moon in the future.
Krip rock is one of the three major rock types on the lunar highlands. It is named after it is rich in potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus. Krip rock is widely distributed on the moon. Krip rock in the wind-burning ocean area rich in thorium and uranium elements is covered by later lunar sea basalt. Krip rock mixes and forms high foci and uranium substances, and its thickness is estimated to be 10 to 20 kilometers. The total amount of rare earth elements in Krip rock in the storm ocean area is about 22.5 billion to 45 billion tons. The rich thorium contained in Krip rock is also one of the important mineral resources for humans to develop and utilize lunar resources in the future.
In addition, the moon is also rich in metal mineral resources such as chromium, nickel, sodium, magnesium, silicon, copper, etc. And each of these resources is very much needed by China, and it is inevitable for making warships! Therefore, China's determination to the moon at this time is something that no one can imagine.
