Chapter 1211: Lunar Treasure!

At this time, the staff had already moved a fax machine over, and the Huaxia Space Agency was transmitting the data of Shenzhou 5, watching the forms constantly printed out, Qian Lao, Dr. Hua, Sha Jin and others all hugged it.

This is the first time that human beings have explored the moon, which makes them very excited, and at the same time, they have now been forced into a desperate situation by Obert, if they cannot prove that there is value in the development of the moon, they are afraid that the funds for the later moon landing program, the United Nations will not be able to approve it.

Everyone looked at the data table with anticipation, but they all showed disappointed expressions.

"Old Qian, how is it? What are the results of your lunar probe exploration?" asked Aubert quietly.

Qian Lao is a rigorous scientist, and he never perfunctory in research, but said in a deep voice:

"As you did with lunar meteorites, the main components of lunar soil are iron and titanium......

The audience was disappointed, is there really no treasure on the moon?

At this time, I heard Su Huai suddenly suggest:

"The probe should be analyzing plagioclase and basalt data now, and we should wait for a while, and when it travels to the lunar soil, there should be good news. ”

Aubert and Van Allen were inexplicable when they heard it, thinking that Qian Lao and Dr. Hua were present, what they didn't know, but you Su Shengren, who is engaged in liberal arts, is convincing, this is really ridiculous, do you really take the myth of the ancient Chinese people as a scientific basis?

But when Su Huai said this, it also aroused everyone's appetite, and many people thought in their hearts, Su Huai is so confident, could it be that the Huaxia Space Agency also got some lunar meteorites, which proves that the moon is rich in tritium?

The scene was silent, and the audience all over the world was also waiting with bated breath, waiting for the final result, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, new data came from Shenzhou 5.

The "Wukong" lunar probe has reached the lunar soil zone.

Aubert was originally full of confidence, but at this time he was inexplicably a little nervous.

Now the crux of the truth is very simple, that is, whether there is natural tritium or not, as long as there is a lunar exploration program, the significance of the lunar exploration program becomes extremely significant, if not, then the huge investment in the lunar landing program will outweigh the losses.

The atmosphere at the scene was very strange, and it could even be said to be weird, Su Huai's previous declaration seemed crazy and groundless, but because Su Shengren had really done too many amazing things, it always made people feel that it was difficult to ignore his remarks.

Everyone present had the idea that "there is really natural tritium on the moon".

I heard Sha Jin ask, "How is it? Is there any tritium?"

The audience, Aubert and Van Allen were nervous.

But after reading the report, Qian Lao's eyes were full of despair, and he said in a low voice: "There is no tritium component......

Dr. Hua was pleasantly surprised: "But there is cerium in it!!

No natural cerium has been found on Earth, which is very important for the scientific community!

Dr. Kehua was excited, but Aubert scoffed next to him:

"What is the use of cerium? In the past, the biggest role was to make flint and steel in lighters, but now Professor Su did not invent piezoelectric ceramics, and cerium, a rare earth resource, now has no value. ”

As soon as he said this, the audience also looked at each other, this fact is too ironic, precious rare earth resources were found on the moon, but because of the piezoelectric ceramics invented by Su Huai, it became a waste product?

Obert also turned to Su Huai at this time, narrowed his eyes, and said with interest:

"Mr. Su, it seems that the ancient Chinese people have deceived you, the so-called 'moon man, the yin of heaven and earth, and the god of gold' is completely unreasonable, the moon is not rich in the element of nuclear fusion. ”

But just as Aubert was taunting Su Huai, he suddenly heard Dr. Hua exclaim:

"Wait, what element is this...... Come and see!"

As soon as everyone was in the middle of the meeting, they heard Qian Lao looking at the report, and suddenly his voice trembled: "This is...... Helium 3!?"

Hearing this term, the audience and the host were all confused, and Sha Jin almost jumped up from the wheelchair: "Helium-3!? are you sure!?" and hurriedly drove the wheelchair and went over to see the latest elemental analysis report.

And Aubert rushed over directly, and hurriedly said, "I'll take a look!"

The host Jenny was confused, turned her head and asked Fan Allen next to her: "Professor Fan, what is this helium-3, can you explain it to the audience and friends?"

Van Allen only recovered from shock at this time, his face full of shock;

"At this stage, there are two ways for human beings to carry out nuclear fusion, the first is the nuclear fusion produced by tritium, that is, hydrogen fusion, but the tritium production is too low, and now the price of 1g of tritium is not less than 2 million in the market, and the other way of nuclear fusion is artificial helium 3.

The other is helium-3 nuclear fusion, which has the advantage of not producing neutrons, producing radioactivity, and is considered an extremely clean energy source......"

Jenny wondered: "Since helium-3 nuclear fusion is so good, why is the direction of nuclear fusion now being studied on hydrogen fusion using tritium as a raw material?"

"Because helium-3 is a stable element, it is almost impossible to synthesize artificially...... And the helium-3 of the entire earth is estimated to be only 500 kilograms......" Van Allen took a deep breath and said:

"If tritium is worth a thousand gold, then helium-3 is a priceless resource, because we don't have it on the planet. ”

As he was talking, he heard Qian Lao's excited and trembling voice at this time:

"It's really helium-3! It's really helium-3! And it's very high, it's so much in such a small place!

At this time, Aubert was completely stunned, and his whole expression was in a state of dazedness, and Dr. Hua next to him took a deep breath and said with a flushed face:

"According to the records just sent back by Shenzhou 5, if calculated according to the proportion, we estimate the thickness of the lunar soil in the most conservative way, and according to the helium-3 density of the sample, the helium-3 storage on the moon should be more than 1 million tons......"

The audience had no idea of this reserve figure, and only listened to Sha Jin, the secretary general of the World Academy of Sciences next to him, announce loudly:

"According to the current energy consumption, 100 tons of helium-3 nuclear fusion is enough to consume the earth for a year. ”

In other words, the helium-3 reserves on the moon are at least enough to support the earth's current energy consumption for 10,000 years!?

The audience stood up, oh my God! Compared to the oil that is said to be depleted in a few decades, helium-3 on the moon is simply a bunker!?

At this time, Sha Jin, Aubert, Van Allen, Qian Lao, and Dr. Hua all looked at Su Huai, and they almost called out:

"The crooked reasoning that the ancient Chinese said turned out to be true!?"

Although the technology of controlled nuclear fusion is still in the experimental stage, it is only a matter of time before it matures according to the current technology.

Then it means that the moon that Shenzhou 5 is orbiting is the resource bank of the earth's future energy!

(Note: At present, China is a world leader in controlled nuclear fusion research and is actively preparing for the moon landing.) )
