Chapter 482: Finding Moon Water
Since the communication was not real-time, Di Wenchang did not receive any news from Earth at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole world, the fryer is up!
During this time, too many things have happened, virtual world upgrades, and exorcism, which have made the whole world jump.
Now, there are reports that someone has suddenly discovered the 'moon man'?
This news made many people dizzy.
Moreover, that video, after being verified by experts, is definitely not synthetic.
Ten minutes later, the European Space Agency released a set of high-definition pictures, which are the scene on the surface of the moon, on which Di Wenchang's 'hidden' space capsule was clearly photographed.
Now, the evidence is more sufficient, and many people who were originally a little skeptical believe it!
There are people on the moon!
There are aliens!
Moreover, the moon man can fly and not breathe?
These terms have appeared in major media.
The party that was originally fond of headlines that began with shock can now justifiably write topics such as 'Shocked!
In short, it will be a sleepless night.
Di Wenchang also got the news 40 minutes later.
This news is not from the Red Queen, but from the Gate of Passage.
Fame!
Exploring in the polar regions where you can't see your fingers is a very boring thing, Di Wenchang took the time to look at the prestige value, but he didn't expect that in less than an hour, it would rise by 80 million.
He knew that his figure must have been photographed.
Di Wenchang asked, "Queen Red, hasn't there been any news from the clone?"
The Red Queen explained: "The geography here is too special to receive messages from the doppelgangers, so you have to go back to the area of the space capsule." ”
"Okay. Di Wenchang nodded and continued to bury his head in search of the underground ice.
It is still unknown how much water ice there is in the permanent shadow zone.
Even if there are enough water ice, how to take them out and use them is an unimaginable problem in engineering technology - because it is difficult to heat and convert water ice into water vapor from a deep pit of about -240 °C, several kilometers deep, and then collect and use it.
If it weren't for the battle armor, Di Wenchang wouldn't even think about it.
Searching for water, unlike the earth, where you have to dig deep after detecting the humidity through the Warframe.
About half an hour later, a relatively high amount of moisture was detected in a low-lying area.
Of course, this is more, and it is only relative.
"After red, deform, turn into a drill truck!"
"Roger!"
Drill trucks, similar to all kinds of cartoons, and in reality, there are also tunnel digging machines developed in some countries, with a big drill bit installed in front.
It's just that because of the limitation of materials, it can only be used in relatively loose soil, and it is also inconvenient to add energy.
The change of the battle armor is different, with the Ark reactor as the power, the drill bit of the Edman alloy change will not have any wear at all, and there will be no lack of power.
With a wriggling, Edelman Alloy turned into a majestic drill truck, and Di Wenchang was sitting in the cockpit.
There are no buttons in the cockpit, and there are no operating buttons, everything will be controlled by the red queen.
"Boss, can you start?" asked the Red Queen.
Di Wenchang nodded, "Let's start!"
There is a faint expectation in my heart, whether there is a large amount of ice in the interior of the moon.
At the sound of the order, the drill began to work, and in an instant, a puff of dust was raised, which could be clearly seen from the screen, and the hard rock was chiseled.
According to the topographical characteristics of the lunar surface, it can be roughly divided into three categories, namely lunar land, lunar sea impact craters and volcanic terrain.
The so-called Moon Sea actually refers to the relatively low-lying plains on the lunar surface of the moon, and there are some dark patches on the moon when you look at the moon with the naked eye, and these large areas of darkness are called the Moon Sea.
Of course, it's not really an ocean, it's just a name.
On the surface of the moon, the area above the lunar sea is called the lunar land, and it is the lunar land is the area on the lunar surface that is higher than the lunar sea, generally 2~3 kilometers higher.
The surface of the moon is covered by huge basalt lava, that is, volcanic lava layers, and some people thought that the dark side of the moon was a vast ocean, but with the development of science and technology, it was discovered that those dark areas were actually plains made of basalt lava.
The place where Di Wenchang is now digging is a plain made of basalt lava, and there are low-lying areas.
The hardness of basalt is extremely high, equivalent to the hardness of quartz, in the division of hardness, diamond hardness is ten, and basalt is between 5-7, which shows its hardness.
In addition, the basalt on the surface of the moon has undergone billions of years of precipitation, and the hardness is definitely not low, so the speed of the drill was not fast at first, and it took a few minutes to advance more than ten meters.
However, with the adjustment of the red queen, the output power has increased, and the speed has gradually accelerated a lot.
If you want to find water on the moon, you have to go deeper than a kilometer into the ground, and twenty minutes have passed before you reach a depth of 500 meters, but fortunately, the geology has become less hard by this time.
After another five minutes, it was already 1 km deep.
"Boss, the humidity has increased dozens of times, and it is estimated that in a few hundred meters, you will be able to find ice!"
"It would be great if we could find water, and besides, it's not too far from the front, so I think we can make a passage through the soil layer here to the front and use it as the main base in the future. ”
The geology became loose, which gave Di Wenchang hope.
The geology of the latter section can be advanced by 100 meters in a minute, which is absolutely amazing.
The red queen explained: "This should be the lunar soil layer, which is similar to the earth's sand, very loose, I don't know why, it will be covered by such a thick layer of basalt on the surface." ”
Another five minutes passed, and the drilling truck, which was originally running at high speed, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Di Wenchang frowned, thinking that something was wrong.
"Boss, I've found the ice!"
The slightly excited voice of the red queen sounded, and I saw that as soon as it pulled its hand, a snow-white piece appeared on the screen.
Under the light, it looks very bright.
It's ice!
It may be that the heat of the drill bit of the drill truck affected the ice, causing some of the ice near the drill to begin to melt.
Clear, colorless water, flowing down from the surface of the ice, makes a ticking sound.
Finally found it!
Di Wenchang looked excited.
This means that there is indeed a lot of water on the moon, and it has been found by itself.
Can you imagine how many people will go crazy if this scene is posted on the Internet?
The premise, of course, is that it must be believed that this is the Moon.
