Chapter 436: Water Works on the Moon

No matter how treacherous the outside was, Zhang Zhi and Yu Zhiyuan, who were in the control center, they completely ignored the outside.

They were discussing the industrial layout of the lunar base. The main thing is about the adjustment of the lunar water plant.

The layout of the lunar base has been planned by many experts in China before the launch of the launch module.

Previously, there was no water plant arranged on the moon, and their idea was to transport water directly from the moon on Earth.

The water is compressed by high-tech to save space in the carrying compartment.

But after seeing the detailed results analysis of the lunar soil, Zhang Zhiyou had a new idea.

There is also hope for a plant on the moon to produce pure water.

The purified water plant was not built, and it was later that materials were taken from the moon. With intelligent industrial robots, water plants can be built.

In terms of cost performance, its efficiency is much higher than that of carrying water from the Earth to the Moon.

Zhang Zhi took the report of the lunar soil and said to Zhiyuan: "The oxygen content of the lunar soil is as high as about 40%.

We can extract the oxygen, and in the reactor, it reacts with the hydrogen transported on the earth to produce pure water.

In this way, the most difficult water resources on the moon can be solved. ”

Zhang Zhi holds the Moon's mineral report, which is the data detected by the resource reconnaissance satellite.

Mineral resources have a certain amount of electromagnetic radiation, especially the gamma rays radiated, which can be easily detected.

According to this principle, satellites can detect the approximate distribution of elements in a range in space.

There are more reserves of rare elements on the Moon than on Earth.

There are three main types of rocks on the moon, the first is the lunar sea basalt, which is rich in iron and titanium.

The second type is plagioclase, which is rich in potassium, rare earths and phosphorus, among others, and they are mainly distributed in the lunar highlands.

The third type is mainly breccia composed of 0.1~1 mm cuttings of rock chips.

Some of them are partially mixed with lunar soil. It can be seen as sand on the moon.

Moon rocks contain all the elements of the earth and about 60 kinds of minerals.

From an elemental point of view, the Earth is just an ordinary planet in the universe.

Most massive solid planets, as long as their generation conditions are not too special, the distribution of elements is basically the same as that of Earth.

It's just the elemental distribution, the real composition of matter. The matter on Earth and the Moon is very different.

The material composition of the Moon is very different from that of most of the solid planets in the solar system.

The composition of the material on the Earth and most of the solid planets in the solar system is basically similar.

Yu Zhiyuan thought for a while, he looked at Zhang Zhi and asked, "Your idea is that we will no longer transport water to the moon."

But building a water plant on the moon, that is, transporting liquid hydrogen, will also occupy a large part of the position.

Water is produced through hydrogen-oxygen reactions, a process that also consumes energy. ”

Zhang Zhi knew Yu Zhiyuan's question, and he said very confidently: "Of course, our company has special means. to achieve their own ends.

You forgot about the helium-3 nuclear fusion power station on the moon. His reaction materials are helium-3, which is abundant in lunar soil, and deuterium on Earth.

Deuterium has a low distribution on the Moon, but it is abundant in our seawater.

When we transport deuterium, we compress it highly through the gravitational field.

Its density can reach 30g/cm?, which is 30 times the density of water.

We use this method to compress hydrogen, which is easier to compress than water. It should be able to compress twice as much.

With a ton of hydrogen, we can compress it to the size of a volleyball. ”

Yu Zhiyuan's eyes widened, his right hand shook unfreely, and he said in disbelief: "It can be compressed to this extent."

In this way, transporting hydrogen takes up much more space than transporting water. ”

Yu Zhiyuan knows how the gravitational slingshot works.

The energy consumption of his deliveries has almost nothing to do with quality. At least that's the case when the gravitational pull generated by the cargo can't affect the target.

In this way, the smaller the volume of the goods being shipped, the more cost-effective it will be.

After Zhang Zhi saw Yu Zhiyuan's agreement, they readjusted the industrial layout of the lunar base.

This is only a small change to reduce the presence of a cistern.

The water production plant is connected to the industrial chain of lunar soil purification.

In this way, the substances produced after the purification of lunar soil can also be efficiently used.

According to their wishes, after proposing directions.

It is then handed over to the experts in the control center to re-optimize the industrial layout.

This was a small task for the specialists, and it was not long waited.

The experts re-planned the industrial layout.

After Zhang Zhi and Yu Zhiyuan checked it, they both agreed to this plan.

Just pass this plan to Xinglan.

The Moon and the Earth can now be connected via a quantum network.

Xinglan can directly command intelligent robots. Completion of construction work on the lunar base.

Coupled with the ant colony intelligence formed between intelligent robots.

Their attention to detail is perfect.

Zhang Zhi saw the launch of intelligent robots and officially established the industrial center of the lunar base.

He found himself in the control center with nothing to do.

Zhang Zhi said goodbye to Yu Zhiyuan and let him have something to find him.

So he got in a flying car and headed for his company.

These days are the company's manufacturing companies, and they are concentrated on moving to the anti-gravity building.

He skimmed through today's hot news.

The hottest spot, of course, is that Huaxia officially announced the existence of a lunar base.

Zhang Zhi can think that there are many people on the earth now.

They aimed with astronomical telescopes, and the direction of the lunar base was constantly monitored.

When he returned to the Anti-Gravity Building, he saw that Qu Xiaoyan had arranged the transfer of the manufacturing company in an orderly manner.

When Qu Xiaoyan saw Zhang Zhi coming, she said with a smile: "You are busy now, the transfer of the factory is basically completed now, and everything is going well." ”

She then looked at Zhang Zhi and said mysteriously: "Now there are rumors on the Internet that the moon will become like the South Pole in the future."

The land of the moon belongs to all mankind. Is this news true? What to do with our country. ”

"Who did you listen to? There is no such thing. Zhang Zhi stopped, showing a surprised expression.

"It's time for staking as it did in the Age of Discovery.

Who discovered the land and was able to establish himself there.

This land belongs to the developers, and now the space development action represented by the moon is the case.

Its internal rules are almost identical to those of the Age of Discovery.

In addition to the means of war, it is wanted to deprive other countries of their territories. Or is it owned by a large country, this is simply unrealistic. ”

When Qu Xiaoyan heard what Zhang Zhi said, she was slightly relieved.

"It started at noon today, almost instantly. The major media in the West began to report that the moon belongs to all mankind.

They also said that their countries were ready to establish a bill on the status of the moon.

I thought that all of you countries had already reached an agreement.

I said that with the nature of our country, it is impossible to make wedding dresses for others and work in vain. ”

After Zhang Zhi heard the cause and effect, he said lightly: "The clown who jumps the beam is not enough to worry about." ”
