Chapter 437: The Purpose of the Base

Zhang Zhi returned to his office, and he dealt with the backlog of things in the company in the past few days.

Qu Xiaoyan has a strong work ability, and there are very few things left for him to deal with. It doesn't take long to complete.

Zhang Zhi contacted Xinglan to check the current situation of the lunar base.

The lunar base is an integrated base.

The first thing it needs to build is an industrial system that can self-circulate.

The Earth side has delivered only ten intelligent robots to the lunar base.

According to the industrial layout designed by Zhang Zhi and them, the industrial project of establishing a lunar base began.

These robots need to work for about half a month. In order to complete the basic industry of the lunar base.

These ten intelligent robots are mainly to establish several major industrial projects, and they are equivalent to the mother machines of industry.

The most important industry in the early stage is to establish a production line for industrial robots on the lunar base.

With only ten intelligent robots, it is advanced and cannot complete the huge base construction task in a short time.

Zhang Zhi opened the light curtain and saw that the robot was now building an industrial robot production line.

Specifically, they are not building a production line for industrial robots from scratch.

Instead, a production line for industrial robots is assembled at the lunar base with equipment carried on Earth.

Zhang Zhi saw that it was time now, and it was almost time for dinner.

Intelligent robots on the moon have been working all afternoon.

This industrial robot production line is basically assembled.

The industrial robots it produces are still a little different from the intelligent industrial robots on the earth.

The main thing is that they differ in their level of intelligence.

The core processor of intelligent industrial robots is a high-end quantum chip.

Industrial robots on the moon, but they are cheap silicon crystal chips.

This is the ability to adapt to the acquisition of resources in the early stage of the lunar base.

Lunar soil contains a large amount of silicon, and the chip consumption is extremely high, and it is not cost-effective to transport it from the earth.

This silicon chip is redesigned by the researchers of Xingyu Technology.

Its performance is much higher than that of previous chips, and the process can reach three nanometers.

Of course, it also has a disadvantage, that is, the overall performance of intelligence is not as strong as the quantum core.

Of course, there are ways to make up for this. At the lunar base, there are large quantum servers that act as a central control system and are responsible for directing robots.

The self-intelligence of industrial robots is lower, which is completely acceptable.

The second task of the intelligent robot is to assemble the material center.

This material center, it is integrated from the separation and purification of raw materials to the synthesis and manufacturing of materials.

It is divided into two parts, one is the production chain of mineral raw materials on the moon. Manufacture of conventional materials.

The water plant planned by Zhang Zhi is deployed in this production chain.

The other is the manufacture of starch plastics. as a new material. It has more uses in space.

The moon base in Zhang Zhi's mind is not just a gray and abrupt moon base.

He has a dream of greening the moon, and the biosphere research that Li Lingqiu is now presiding over is preparing for this project.

On the space station, the biosphere has largely succeeded.

These are the two main materials for the lunar base, which lacks a large group of materials commonly found on Earth.

That is, organic polymer materials represented by chemical raw materials.

There are no fossil minerals on the moon, and even carbon dioxide and water are scarce. You can't even synthesize ethylene.

The operation of an industrial base requires energy, materials, and workers.

Now the lunar base, after the completion of these projects, has a basic industrial base.

Of course he served as one, the first integrated base on the moon.

Of course, it doesn't just exist as an industrial base.

It also has scientific research attributes and the creation of a suitable living environment for people.

This is the main purpose of the lunar base, if you really want to build industry, why build it on the moon.

The moon does not look at the harsh environment, it has a special environment.

In the field of scientific research, this is a treasure trove. There are a lot of experiments that can't be done on Earth.

Its gravitational pull is only 1/6 that of the Earth, and there is no atmosphere yet.

Many experiments on the earth are affected by the air, and they need to build extremely demanding laboratories.

But experiments on the moon can be done with just a simple room.

The greatest purpose of the lunar base is also the main purpose for which it was built.

It is to provide a good working environment for people on the moon.

The environment in which people live is the most important thing, and it can be expected that in the near future, the earth will usher in a population explosion.

Even if there is an anti-gravity edifice, the population it can accommodate is also limited.

Now is the time to think about the long-term development and focus on the universe.

As long as there is strength to develop the universe, let alone distant places, it is to develop the solar system.

It can accommodate several times the population of the earth.

Whether it's an astronaut who came to the moon, or a scientist who built a laboratory on the moon. Or the people who later worked on Earth.

All need a good environment to give full play to their abilities.

Human beings are not only vulnerable on Earth.

When it comes to the universe, it seems that it is a very fragile existence.

To take a common example, people live on the earth and there is a certain pressure in the atmosphere.

All living beings on Earth have adapted to the existence of this pressure.

The pressure inside the human body is comparable to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere outside. It's all a standard atmosphere.

In this way, the balance between the body and the body can be achieved, and the movement can be carried out freely on the earth.

On the moon there is no atmosphere.

In this way, there is no external pressure on the human body.

If the person is in an environment where there is zero external pressure.

Can you imagine what the results will be?

The air pressure inside the human body will squeeze outward. The human body begins to swell.

Think of the explosion of firecrackers, think of the making of popcorn.

They do not reach a difference of one atmosphere.

How powerful is one standard atmosphere?

It can lift water up to ten meters high. Together, a vacuum ball can be pulled by two cars, but it can't be opened.

That's why astronauts, in space, wear spacesuits.

Without the protection of a spacesuit, it will turn into a big firework of the human body.

Although Xingyu Technology is researching, portable spacesuits.

But this is for professionals, it doesn't look very thin, but it also weighs ten kilograms.

It's just that the gravitational pull of the moon is very small, and it is very inconvenient to wear it to work.

The main purpose of the lunar base. It is to build a space with a standard atmosphere.

It can allow people to survive in this base conveniently.

This is achieved through an energy shield.

This is also one of the reasons why the lunar base chose to occupy a basin.

Establish an energy shield device in the mountains surrounding the base.

It's not just about protecting against external threats, such as meteorites and cosmic rays.

It also prevents the escape of air internally and maintains an atmospheric pressure suitable for human survival.
