Armor Frenzy

Chapter 547: While the investigation is in progress (2)

There is liquid in the ice, and it solidifies into a snowflake shape after being sprayed out... This seems to be one of the physical properties of some kind of gas, but Ye Han couldn't remember what it was for a while.

Ye Han's mind was full of doubts, shaking the ice cube in his hand, it seemed that he could hear the sound of liquid flowing.

Worrying that the liquid gas would expand and break the ice, he carefully placed this special ice sample far away, returned to the sampling point, expanded the mining surface, and dug deeper into the ice.

When Duan Zhiyang rushed over to take ice samples, Ye Han had dug an ice pit more than two meters deep. Four large ice cubes that were hollow and contained liquid were neatly placed beside the pit.

Physical explosions are also explosions. In order to avoid danger, Ye Han deliberately cut the ice cubes larger and bound the liquid in them with thick ice walls.

Duan Zhiyang was dumbfounded: "What's this all about?"

Ye Han smiled and climbed out of the ice pit: "It should be liquid air."

"How is that possible?" Duan Zhiyang felt bad, "How did you get in?"

"I also want to know."

Duan Zhiyang asked suspiciously, "Why are you digging so much?"

"Someone on the ground should be interested in this thing. Cut it out and put it away to see what the ground thinks." Ye Han said.

"Okay, I'll find a place to leave it alone."

"Don't forget to say, don't let Xu Hua plug into the machine." Ye Han instructed.

"Don't worry, how could I have made such a low-level mistake!"

The lunar rover filled with ice samples first sent Ye Han to the next sampling point, and then returned silently.

Not long after, according to the instructions of the ground command center, the temporary base cut open the ice bubble to analyze the composition of the liquid content. The liquid in the ice is just a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and also contains some solid nitrogen, which is a mixture of three gases. .

Ye Han expressed great regret about this, why is there no liquid oxygen in the vacuole?

However, what Ye Han did not expect was that this kind of vacuoles was not an isolated phenomenon. With the investigation, more vacuolar structures were found in the three groups. The composition of various gases is complex, and the liquid in all ice bubbles has only one thing in common, that is, the melting point is lower than the ambient temperature.

Ye Han, who received the news, suddenly realized that 80% of the air column ejected from the ice cracks contained solid nitrogen, which is why the snowflakes appeared.

This was originally just a small episode in the work, but a few days later, Ye Han dug up an opaque ice block in the middle of the sampling point again.

The area where the ice sample was collected belongs to a high-quality ice area. The quality of the water ice is excellent. The white things in the ice immediately caught Ye Han's attention. After returning the ice sample to the base for testing, it was discovered that the opaque substances were dry ice……

The magical ice lake refreshed Ye Han's three views again. He couldn't help but wonder what else was frozen in this seemingly peaceful ice lake.

As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, he released the nitrogen ice sealed in the ice.

Ye Han was no longer surprised by this, unless he dug out an alien from the ice lake, he would not be surprised no matter what was in the ice. But his present still stunned all the astronauts, and he also took the command center seriously. Dry ice and nitrogen ice can still be explained, but experts have racked their brains and can't determine the conditions under which the ice layer seals the liquid gas. in the ice. But experts have come up with two hypotheses, the primitive environment theory, to explain this phenomenon.

But at this time, only a very few people care about this kind of problem. Even experts in the aerospace industry are more concerned about whether organic matter can be found in the ice layer, rather than how many foreign objects are wrapped in the ice layer.

If organic matter can be found in the glacial lake, it is of great significance to the study of biological origin.

It is a pity that Beidu only pays attention to the construction progress of the moon base. Whether there is air or mud in the ice is not a politician's consideration at all. Even heavy water resources can only enter the concern of Beidu after the lunar base is completed.

Politics is such a reality.

In the next week, the three groups completed the small half of the crater, collected hundreds of ice samples, and obtained a lot of first-hand information, but it still took a lot of time to complete the investigation.

According to the plan, Kongtian-2 will be launched in the next few days. By then, the dilemma of insufficient manpower at the base will be alleviated to a certain extent. All the astronauts including Ye Han are eagerly looking forward to returning to the earth to take all the reserve astronauts. Drag to the moon.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances. Just at the juncture of the upcoming launch of Kongtian-2, a tropical storm swept the South China Sea, and the launch plan had to be postponed. The specific launch time depends on the weather.

The training base has selected the second batch of astronauts, but they were unable to lift off due to the bad weather. After a few days, the storm subsided, and three of the twelve astronauts failed the physical examination, so they had to be replaced immediately. The astronauts will be re-selected, and Kongtian-2 will finally be able to lift off~www.readwn.com~ The time when Kongtian-2 arrives on the moon is more than a week later than the scheduled time!

The second batch of astronauts did not merge into the temporary base, but set up a new camp one kilometer away, and found another location to dig a mountain wall.

The two bases were named No. 1 Base and No. 2 Base, and the personnel were also organized into one team and two teams. They lived not far away, but they didn't ride on the moon rover.

This is not in line with the previous construction plan, but it is the latest arrangement of Beidu.

Beidu plans to use all spaceflight groups separately and dig caves at different positions on the crater. After the base is initially built, all the caves will be dug through to turn it into a lunar base with a large interior space.

Moreover, the functions of each cave are also arranged differently. As for the specific arrangement, no one knows. Everyone just needs to dig stones according to the drawings.

The crater looks thin on the map, but the actual thickness is nearly four kilometers. It is conceivable how huge the base will be after completion.

Arranging astronauts in this way is definitely more difficult, but the construction efficiency can be greatly improved. Which one of the astronauts who can enter the space team has no political consciousness? Even if you really have an idea in your heart, you will never put it on your face, even if you pretend, you can pretend to be obliged.

Group construction is equivalent to introducing a competition mechanism. The two groups are immediately on the bar. You chase after me to speed up the construction, and at least increase the construction efficiency by one-fifth!

Although there are two more people in the first team, the construction time is also half a month earlier than the second team, which seems to be very unfavorable to the second team, but when the second team entered, the first team has already established a firm foothold. There is no need for the team to waste resources and repeat construction. What needs to be provided by the first team.

Supplies are temporarily solved on the ground, and only enough oxygen is needed from the No. 1 base. 8 For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
