Chapter 0392: A Trip to the Moon

Space Jump Technique is a very complex and cutting-edge technology, and the amount of energy required to perform a space jump is unimaginable. According to Explorer 8, even the most powerful generator ever built on Earth is far from enough energy to make a space jump. With the way the energy is produced on Earth, that is, nuclear fusion technology, it is possible to meet the energy required for this super technology.

Hearing Explorer No. 8 talk about energy, Yang Peiqi's heart subconsciously tightened, for fear that this guy would come to the next sentence, and every time he made a space jump, it would cost him how many energy points, then he would really be blind. Because after exchanging Huàn's new flying machine, he only had about 100 million energy points left. This little bit of energy really doesn't make a big deal.

Fortunately, things didn't happen the way he thought, and Explorer 8 didn't say that it would cost extra energy points to make space jumps, but that his new super vehicle was capable of space jumps on its own.

However, there is a problem, that is, the energy source of the super vehicle that he has can only perform a maximum of ten space jumps, and then the energy source it carries will be exhausted, and he can only replace it with a new energy source, or slowly recharge itself.

As for replacing the energy source, it is naturally indispensable to spend energy points to find Explorer No. 8 to redeem huàn. So, at the end of the day, more energy points are needed.

It is relatively simple to recharge itself, as long as this super vehicle is placed in space, it can absorb the radiation energy in the space by itself to recharge.

From this point of view, the charging mode of this super-flying vehicle is somewhat similar to that of a solar cell. Because it is also able to absorb sunlight for charging.

However, this charging mode is slower. According to Explorer 8, after the vehicle ran out of energy. It takes at least half a year to fully charge it in order to absorb cosmic energy radiation on its own. This is also in places where the energy radiation of the universe is very strong, such as Mercury, the closest thing to the Sun in the solar system.

As for directly letting the super-vehicle go to the surface of the sun to recharge, that thing is completely unreliable. In any case, the temperature on the surface of the sun is above 6000°C. And it is very difficult to create a material that can withstand such high temperatures, even in the Eskett civilization that made Explorer VIII, let alone make a super flying machine out of such materials.

Yang Peiqi's super flying machine is indeed more resistant to high and low temperatures. However, this range is also limited, and the minimum temperature it can withstand is about -210°C, and the maximum is only 1500°C. Beyond this temperature, the aircraft will still be damaged.

……

Yang Peiqi's first stop was the moon, a satellite that has accompanied the earth for countless years, and although Explorer 8 told Yang Peiqi that it was basically impossible to find anything too valuable on the moon, Yang Peiqi still decided to take this place as the first stop of his space journey. This is not only because the moon, the satellite of the earth, has left too many beautiful legends in the hearts of human beings, especially the Chinese people. Wu Gang cut Gui, Jade Rabbit pounded medicine, etc., etc., etc., etc., and so on, because until now, only Americans in the world have ever landed on this planet. As the Chinese people who have led the advanced civilization of the earth for thousands of years, they have not yet boarded it. Although Huaxia has already established a lunar exploration program, it has even launched two unmanned lunar probes, Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2. But manned lunar exploration is still far away, and Yang Peiqi wants to become the first Chinese to land on the moon. Even if no one knows about the process.

Because of such an obsession, Yang Peiqi firmly chose the moon as his first stop.

Because it was the moon that went to it. The distance between the moon and the earth is only more than 380,000 kilometers, so when Yang Peiqi went to the moon, he did not take the super vehicle of Xindui Huàn, let alone use space jumping, but took the previous spacecraft, and only flew at about a hundred times the speed of sound.

But despite this, it didn't take much for Yang Peiqi to reach the moon. After all, the distance between the moon and the earth is only a little bit, and the speed of sound is 122,400 kilometers per hour. In other words, the flight time from the Earth to the Moon is just over three hours. Even if you add the acceleration and deceleration time for take-off and landing, it is only four hours.

However, after Yang Peiqi arrived on the moon, the scenery in his eyes was a little disappointing. All that catches your eye is dust and gravel.

After walking on the moon for about an hour, Yang Peiqi lost her initial freshness, mainly because it was too lonely and boring. Then he got into the spacecraft, flew off the lunar surface, and began to explore the moon.

The results of the probe were a little disappointing to Yang Peiqi, but they were also expected by him, to be precise, in the estimation of Explorer 8. The materials found on the moon are similar to those found on the earth, mainly uranium, thorium, potassium, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminum and other common mineral elements on the earth. Moreover, several of them are very rich.

Taking iron as an example, the 5 centimeters of sand on the surface of the moon alone contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire lunar surface has an average of 10 meters of sand. In addition, in places such as the moon sea on the moon, there is also a huge amount of iron ore in zài. According to Explorer 8 estimates, the iron ore reserves on the entire moon may even exceed the sixteenth power level. This is far from being comparable on Earth.

Iron on the surface of the moon is not only abundant, but also easy to mine and smelt. The iron on the Moon is mainly iron oxide, as long as oxygen and iron are separated.

In addition, aluminum is also abundant on the surface of the moon.

Not only that, the lunar soil is also rich in helium-3, helium fusion using deuterium and helium-3 can be used as an energy source for nuclear power plants, this fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, is easy to control nuclear fusion, not only can be used in terrestrial nuclear power plants, but also is particularly suitable for astronautics. After Yang Peiqi's exploration, it was found that the content of helium-3 in the lunar soil exceeded one million tons, far more than the 715,000 tons estimated by scientists on Earth.

If it were to change to other forces on the earth, it would definitely be red-eyed, but for Yang Peiqi at this moment, it would be like that. Because, first, it is impossible for him to transport these iron ore mines back to Earth, and second, things like iron ore are basically useless to Explorer 8.

In fact, even if he can transport these iron ore mines back to the earth, he does not plan to do so for the time being, because so many iron ores are pouring into the earth's iron ore market, which will definitely have a devastating impact on the global iron ore market, which is not what Yang Peiqi is willing to see. In any case, he is also an iron ore tycoon now, and he will make a fortune by mining and mining, and he will not do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall. (To be continued......)
