The completion of the No. 1 base means that the lunar base has initially begun to develop towards self-sufficiency; the completion of the first phase of the project means that the lunar base has preliminary industrial capabilities. ??

Although the design production capacity of the first phase of the project is very small, it is a solid industrial production capacity and covers various industries involved in the construction base.

At this point, as long as the lunar base is given enough time, after ten or twenty years, the lunar base will gradually grow into a behemoth.

But what human beings lack most is time. It is impossible to wait for more than ten or twenty years under the pressure of giant insects. The industrial equipment installed in the lunar base is not used for production, but to verify these The operation and use of equipment on the moon lays the foundation for the design of high-capacity equipment.

It takes one bite to eat and one step to take. Although human beings have a very good understanding of the situation on the moon, it is definitely not that simple to move industry to the moon. Small-scale verification is the safest way.

Just imagine if the large-scale equipment is directly launched, no matter whether there is an abnormality in the equipment or a problem with the product, the cost is too heavy for any country to bear.

The industrial system of the lunar base is the top priority of the entire Moon Palace plan. The news was sent back to Earth, and the space base sent two spacecraft to the sky in just three days. The more than 20 astronauts who took the spacecraft were all All-rounder in industry, chemical, metallurgical, manufacturing and other industries are all-encompassing.

After all, having industrial capabilities is only the first step taken by the lunar base. Only by converting industrial capabilities into real production capacity can the continued development of the lunar base be guaranteed.

After the expert group arrived on the moon, they immediately took over the industrial area of ​​the lunar base and formulated a comprehensive industrial plan according to the actual situation of the lunar base.

The first step in the plan is to extract the iron and titanium from the lunar basalt.

As the name suggests, the Moon Sea Basalt is the basalt found in the Moon Sea, but things are by no means only in the Moon Sea. The main component of the crater surrounding the temporary base is the Moon Sea Basalt!

The construction personnel dug up a large number of moon sea basalt during several months of engineering operations, and the innumerable rocks were piled up near the base. As long as a part was picked and sent to the industrial area, the metal content in it could be measured, and smelting experiments were carried out after crushing and screening. .

Everyone knows that although the rock contains a large amount of iron and titanium, the so-called large amount is based on the fact that the moon has a large amount of lunar basalt, not that the metal content of the rock is particularly high.

On Earth, ore of this grade has no mining value at all. But on the moon, the industrial group has no choice at all in the short term, unless large iron ore or titanium ore is found.

But how can the mine be so good?

The experts in the industrial group are all real elites in the industry, and they don't give any of them for free, but in a few days, the first batch of metal is extracted from the pile of rocks.

The metal in this furnace is mainly iron, and there is also some titanium, but the total amount is less than one-fifth of iron.

The steel industry is one of the most important basic industries. With enough steel, the construction of the base can be improved by several levels.

The plan to launch large-scale equipment was immediately put on the agenda, and all kinds of mineral processing equipment were put in place immediately. At the same time as the mineral processing work was in full swing, the industrial team dismantled two spaceships and sent the spacecraft shells to the industrial area and placed them in the smelting area.

The design of the aerospace spacecraft has taken into account the multi-purpose use of one thing. After removing the equipment and carrying out certain transformations, the spacecraft shell immediately turned into two electric furnace shells with a height of more than ten meters.

Although it is only the shell, it also solves the big problem of the industrial team. If there is no spaceship shell, the industrial team can only use the pitiful little output of the experimental furnace, and slowly accumulate the metal needed to manufacture the electric furnace.

As for other materials needed by the electric furnace, all the materials can be obtained on the spot, and the report must be provided by the ground immediately.

A series of changes dazzled Ye Han. First, the smelting equipment was built, and then the cement was made from the moon soil, and the strength of the moon soil cement was actually much higher than that of ordinary cement, and then the glass was made from the moon soil.

Is the composition of lunar soil also silica?

What made him even more unexpected was that the industrial team actually solved the radiation problem of the lunar soil, and the method could not be simpler - scraping off the surface layer of the lunar soil and only taking the deep lunar soil!

The radiation of the lunar soil is the same as the radiation of the surface layer of the glacial lake. The rays from the universe are blocked by the surface layer, and the deep lunar soil does not contain any radiation unless it contains radioactive materials.

Because of this, the lunar base has to use lunar soil cement, but there are too few lunar soil resources in the crater, and large-scale application is not realistic.

In order to solve this problem, the engineering team proposed a new plan to continue digging the No. 4 hole where the industrial zone is located, until the crater is dug through, connecting the world outside the crater, so as to obtain more resources.

Although it is very troublesome to get through the crater, it is much easier than going over the crater~www.readwn.com~ and tunneling can also be regarded as an expansion of the industrial area, and then use satellite assistance to grasp the direction of the excavation, and even the location of the exit can be Strictly grasp.

At the same time that the industrial group is doing its best, the second phase of the lunar base project is in full swing.

The plan is not as fast as changing. The original second-phase plan has been changed accordingly with the progress of the base construction. The entire second-phase plan has only two directions.

One is the tunnel that penetrates the crater. The tunnel project is related to the subsequent base construction and must be given the highest priority.

The second is the expansion plan of the agricultural area, which will increase the food supply capacity of the lunar base as quickly as possible.

The tunnel project does not require too many people. Gao Kai only arranged a construction team. The remaining construction personnel are all concentrated in the No. 1 hole. While expanding the space to the left and right sides, they also need to expand to the underground. It is planned to build the No. 1 hole into multiple layers. Compound three-dimensional farm, the short-term goal is to meet the supply of staple and non-staple food for 1,000 people, the medium-term goal is to expand the supply to 10,000 people, and the long-term goal is to supply 100,000 people—this goal is too far, so it is only a goal at present .

During this period, the second nuclear reactor of the lunar base settled in Cave No. 2.

The electrical capacity of the No. 1 reactor is enough to supply a medium-sized city, but the base is located at the pole of the moon. If the reactor fails, the operation of the entire lunar base will immediately stop. If the reactor cannot be repaired in a short time, once the liquid metal of the reactor cools down If it freezes, the reactor is in danger of melting down. All astronauts must leave the moon immediately, and even the lunar base must be abandoned.

Now that the lunar base has been initially formed, only one reactor is too risky, so the ground spared no expense to send the second reactor to the moon.

Fortunately, the size of the military reactor is not large, and a spacecraft can barely fit it. 8 For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
