The Rise Of Space Technology

Chapter 251 Building The Moon Palace Base

At the same time, in terms of design, the interior should be designed with vacuum, because there are three ways of heat transfer, heat convection, heat radiation, and heat conduction, and the vacuum environment has a very good heat insulation method.


The huge temperature difference on the lunar surface must be fully taken into account, otherwise it will be very easy for things to happen. For this reason, the materials used by scientists to build lunar bases are specially made.


At the same time, a large-scale lunar engineering vehicle began to level the land in the area selected by the scientists.


All of this has been practiced and experimented on earth, and every step is assisted by a computer-aided system, and every material is numbered.


Taking moon mining as an example, you first need to build a base on the moon, which will definitely cost a lot of money. Just building a subsistence system is enough for you. Second, you need to build a moon factory, right? The mined minerals are smelted, and it is impossible to directly bring the ore and soil of the moon back to the earth for extraction.


There are also astronauts who have started to drive one after another of lunar engineering vehicles. Each lunar engineering vehicle is a special engineering vehicle on the side of Xinghai Technology.


Each engineer also has a division of labor, and works in full accordance with the pre-numbered program in the calculation. The whole process seems to be very busy, but it is orderly and strictly carried out.


"Maybe you should go out and see things like the lunar rover that Armstrong left behind, and look at the flag that Pretty Fruit left behind."


Various engineering vehicles and lunar rovers continued to drive out of Houyi, some temporarily parked aside, while others quickly drove in all directions and began to explore the surrounding world.


In general, moon mining is not easy, and it can drive the development of many industries and technologies. It also means that there must be sufficient profit and value, otherwise people will not invest money in it.


It is impossible to say anything about mining resources on the moon or building a lunar base, because the technology cannot be achieved, and the cost is simply unacceptable. Even if the most expensive resources are mined, the cost will be too high at that time to look up. .


Therefore, special alloy materials must be used, which can withstand this ultra-low temperature environment and can adapt to the huge changes in the environment.


One after another construction vehicles are busy, constantly transporting a large amount of materials out.


Then, machines for driving piles and foundations appeared, which quickly drilled deep foundation holes one by one, and then an engineering vehicle inserted a specially designed weighing column into it to form a weighing structure.


The lunar surface, which was originally desolate, barren, and withered for a long time, suddenly appeared dozens of various lunar engineering vehicles busy.


Then another construction vehicle transported the front and front walls. Under the control of the robotic arm, these walls were quickly spliced ​​together like building blocks.


Interstellar mining industry, which can also be regarded as a huge industry.


At the same time, a small private anti-gravity aircraft quickly lifted off from the Houyi and began to cruise around constantly to see if there were any dangerous places.


Because the gravity on the moon is only one-sixth of that on the earth, even if a person jumps lightly, he must beat the earth and can jump farther and higher.


The reason why Xinghai Technology is confident in building a large lunar base on the moon, and even mining resources on the moon, is because it already has this possibility and feasibility.


I saw scientists put on space suits and drove lunar rovers to all directions, exploring for resources everywhere.


PS: There is another chapter in the evening~


Similarly, only if Xinghai Technology makes enough money to mine resources on the moon, then other people will follow suit, and the interstellar mining industry can truly develop.


With the continuous opening of engineers one after another, and the continuous opening of the hatch of Houyi, a large number of materials used for the construction of the Moon Palace Base were transported out.


Especially Katerina, Rogersky and Bassoon, they are in contact with the earth at this moment, and they are extremely demanding to go to the surface of the moon, leave a footprint, and then light up their flags What.


Engineers don't even need to control these construction machines with their hands, they can directly use virtual machines to control them, and they can control them with their minds, and they can achieve refined control.


On the moon, walking in a bulky space suit is actually very slow, and the most comfortable and simple way is to jump and walk.


This time when I came to the moon, the materials and things I brought were enough to easily build a lunar base, and it could bring a large amount of lunar minerals back to Earth.


As for the engineers, their main task is to build the Moon Palace base.


To build a long-term base on the moon without an atmosphere, there are too many factors to consider, such as the huge temperature difference between day and night, radiation from the universe, life support system, energy system, air system, etc. There are too many factors to consider.


In addition, in terms of energy, the side of the moon is no better than the earth. You must be equipped with a large amount of solar power to obtain energy and the like, which is the cheapest, which in turn can drive the development of the solar industry.


Half a century ago, when humans first landed on the moon, the mass of all the objects that landed on the moon at that time might not be as heavy as a current engineering vehicle.


The forklifts produced the lunar soil that had been stored for millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years, and a large piece of flat land appeared on the originally desolate moon.


That's the power of anti-gravity technology, it's true interstellar technology.


Liu Yuan has not been in a hurry to go out, but watched the busy scene in front of him on the Houyi.


After all, Xinghai Technology is a private enterprise. Although it is not for profit, it still has to make money. development of.


The temperature of the moon is cooler at night, and without the protection of the atmosphere, the temperature difference on the lunar surface is too large.


Different from the simple and extensive mining on the planet, there is not much technical content.


So this is a very big test for technology.


As Wei Wang was the first to walk out of Houyi and land on the moon, other astronauts also began to walk out of Houyi one after another, and some jumped out directly.


"These should be good collectibles, but if you don't know if you bring them back, will they be yelled at to take them back."


Interstellar mining can be regarded as a real technological activity.


In less than an hour, a house appeared on the surface of the moon, and it was still expanding rapidly. Everything was like a game of splicing blocks.


On the Houyi, scientists and engineers were also busy quickly, everyone put on space suits, and the next is the busiest time.


The standardized and modular design, coupled with the help of flexible robotic arms, is of course more important because this time, Xinghai Technology has applied biological virtual technology to it.


In addition, mining on the moon must be mechanized on a large scale. You can't say that you expect people to wear space suits to mine for you. This requires the purchase of special lunar engineering vehicles, lunar rovers, and so on.


Here in the cabin where the news media reporters are located, these news media reporters have long been unable to bear it, and they are all clamoring to put on space suits and go to the moon to play, walk around, and carry out some related activities. reported.


They need to build the Moon Palace base as soon as possible, and at the same time conduct resource exploration on the moon, look for resource-rich areas, and look for gold, rare earth, silver, copper and other minerals with high value content.


The temperature of the lunar surface varies greatly. It can reach more than 120 degrees during the day and nearly minus 200 degrees at night. Such a huge temperature difference is a huge test for the lunar base.


Now it's different. With anti-gravity technology, Houyi can bring 100,000 tons of supplies on a trip to the moon, and it can also carry 100,000 tons of supplies when it returns to Earth.


Feeling a little bored, Liu Yuan suddenly came up with the idea of ​​getting some collectibles.


Ordinary steel will become very brittle when it reaches minus tens of degrees. Once it reaches the ultra-low temperature environment of minus 200 degrees, its internal molecular activity will be greatly reduced and become more relaxed, resulting in an internal stress. This stress once Beyond the limits of thermal expansion and contraction, the internal structure will shatter, causing the metal's strength to be disintegrated.


It was simply impossible to achieve all this with traditional rocket technology.


In the cold Arctic and Antarctic regions, ordinary steel will shatter with a single tap. This is the principle.


Even on the moon without air, it can still work very well, and the cockpit of the lunar engineering rover is still a mobile life capsule. If you encounter a promotion situation, you can quickly run to the nearest lunar engineering rover and open the corresponding The life-saving system can quickly obtain oxygen.


If any detail is not considered carefully, or if it is not done enough, it may lead to the failure of the entire base, and it may also leave a huge security risk.


But fortunately, these are nothing at all for current technology. The real hardest thing is how to transport a large amount of materials to the moon. This problem has been solved. scientists and engineers.


Thinking of this, Liu Yuan immediately put on his space suit, and then came to the news media reporter, ready to call his old classmate Qian Xia to see an old object left half a century ago.


In addition to the modular design of all materials, it is easy to assemble quickly. Each piece of wall material is designed with special structure and special materials.
