Chapter 449: Dimming the Moon
On March 25, the astronauts had been at the moon base for some time.
People's fanatical attention to them has gradually faded.
But they were unaffected and still had enough information gathered. Expert decision-making provided to the ground.
The control center on the ground, based on this information, convenes a meeting of experts.
The meeting was chaired by Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhi also attended the meeting as an observer to solve the major problems encountered by the lunar base.
Experts discussed, and a number of flaws were found at the lunar base.
They are concentrating on solving the problems that the lunar base is currently encountering, so that the lunar base can run more smoothly.
Each expert asks the problem and concentrates their wisdom to solve it.
Finally, there was an expert from the biology department, who stood up and first praised the biosphere at the moon base.
"After several days of continuous establishment, the small biosphere of the lunar base, they are basically taking shape.
As far as I can see, if the biosphere continues to expand.
One day, it will change the ecological environment on the surface of the moon and make it suitable for life.
The price to pay for maintaining this ecosystem is still low.
Here, thanks to Xingyu Technology, it is the technical support they provide that can make the moon have a trace of life.
The interaction of the moon's biosphere and captivity.
Provide an adequate source of food for people who will live on the moon in the future. ”
He then went on to raise the problem he had discovered.
"I do this by collecting data on the lunar biosphere.
It was discovered that the sunlight had a great impact on the lunar biosphere.
In particular, the data of the moon during the day and the moon at night are compared with each other.
All the creatures that are transported on the earth now, their schedules are according to the time of the earth.
But the moon lasts for 15 days and the night is as long as 15 days.
We use lighting and shading out of the sun
Artificially controlled the day and night in the biosphere.
It also plays a very weak role, and I find it better during the day on the moon.
When it is night on the moon, the lunar plants absorb only the light emitted by the light.
Many plants have died in the lunar biosphere, and many microorganisms have also disappeared.
How many times is this repeated? The entire moon's biosphere would collapse completely. ”
Zhang Zhi heard what he said, and also said his thoughts.
"The changes in the biosphere have long been discovered by Xingyu Technology.
After our detailed examination, we found that in sunlight, the electromagnetic spectrum of some beams is very special, and it has a special effect on plant growth.
What exactly are the interactions? We're exploring, but there's been no progress.
Now all I can think of is to solve this problem when the moon base enters the night.
From somewhere else, we transferred some sunlight to him and shined it on the moon base with pure sunlight. ”
Zhang Zhi's words grasped the essence of the problem, and he directly transferred the problem of the biosphere to adding sunlight to the lunar base.
Biological problems, most experts can not come up with effective methods.
But when it comes to this specific problem, many experts can still think of many ways to regulate the sun's light.
Zhang Zhi heard from many experts and discussed many methods.
In the end, according to the strength of Xingyu Technology, he decided to use large reflectors to reflect the sun's light. Recognized by many experts.
When illumination is needed at the lunar base, through mirrors deployed in lunar orbit. Intercept the sun's rays leading to other places. Irradiation into the lunar base.
These mirrors can also intercept sunlight shining on the lunar base when illumination is not needed on the lunar base.
Finally, numerous experts carefully calculated the trajectory of the Moon, the relative positions of the Moon and the Sun.
They found a suitable place to deploy such mirrors.
After the meeting, Zhang Zhi returned to his company, and he began to design this mirror system.
It is essentially a large mirror, and it is not difficult to make it.
The most complex here is mainly an intelligent system, which has to track sunlight at all times.
Both the Moon and the Sun are in motion, and satellites must change their orbits with them.
There is also the material chosen for this mirror.
Xingyu Technology has a quantum computer, and this level of computation is not difficult for a quantum computer.
After Zhang Zhi designed the entire mirror system, he arranged for Yan Jiliang to start making these mirrors.
This lunar dimming system consists of a total of 36 mirrors.
With a built-in quantum computer, the mirror can automatically track the sun's rays.
Follow pre-designed coordinates. Light up any part of the moon.
You can also cut off sunlight from any location and keep them dark.
It's a dimming system, but it's also an excellent strategic weapon.
After the deployment of this mirror system, Huaxia's control of the moon will reach an extremely high level.
Five days passed slowly, and Xingyu Technology's manufacturing was completed quickly.
These mirrors are manufactured in the factory, and after rigorous debugging by engineers, they are carried around the gravitational launch site.
At dawn on March 30, this system of mirrors was launched into the moon by a gravitational slingshot in batches.
This time the capsule did not choose the moon as an anchor point.
It adopts the new function of the gravitational slingshot, which uses the gravitational ejection function to give it enough power. Catapult into space.
Zhang Zhi saw the mirror ascending to the sky, and he quietly waited for the mirror to unfold.
Earth time, 6 p.m. Thirty-six mirrors deployed in lunar orbit began to deploy.
They were made of liquid metal and began to shrink into a ball.
After each unit is deployed, it covers a surface area of 20,000 square kilometers. It can reflect sunlight in a wide area.
The current moon base is in the daytime of the moon.
Zhang Zhi began to start the entire system, began to dim the moon, and tested the capabilities of the entire system.
Only the mirrors that have been unfolded are seen, and they adjust their attitude as they follow the trajectory between the Sun and the Moon.
On the orbit above the base, facing the sunlight that takes pictures towards the base.
It begins to change with a round sphere that directly turns into a large concave mirror.
By controlling each unit of the mirror, the sunlight shining on the mirror surface is directly concentrated into its focus.
The focal prism reflects this beam of sunlight into other mirrors.
They pass through one, repeating the process, a relay of segments.
Directly combine this beam of sunlight with several beams of sunlight from other places and shine together on another mirror.
This mirror, it has a larger diameter.
Beams of light from all directions hit the prism of its central focus.
Through a concave mirror, parallel sunlight is re-illuminated on the moon.
When this mirror system is dimmed, people standing on the earth can observe a magical phenomenon of the moon.
Now only the crescent moon was exposed, and there were several parts on it that suddenly went dark.
And with a place far from the crescent. Suddenly there was a large area that became very bright.
When Zhang Zhi saw this situation, he didn't need to look at the data report to know that the experiment had been successful.
Being able to dim the moon is not only to ensure the continuation of the lunar base and the biosphere system.
At least the time of day and night on the moon. By controlling the sunlight, it can be synchronized with the Earth.
Let living things, including humans, not mutate.
