Chapter 606: Chen Mo's Courage
"Academician Chen, are you sure it's true?"
"Sure."
"Are you sure Luna-1 is returning today?"
"Sure." Chen Mo still nodded, and smiled a little helplessly: "Academician Zhang, since you came here, you have asked five times in an hour, and I feel that you are more anxious than me." ”
"Hey......
Zhang Jianfeng grinned and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, looking forward to the return of Luna 1.
"How many moon rocks and lunar soil did you bring back this time?"
"Not much, only 26 kilograms." Chen Mo said: "I will give you 10 kilograms." ”
"Enough is enough."
Zhang Jianfeng's face was as brilliant as a chrysanthemum.
Moon Rock In the black market, the price of one gram is 6 figures, and there is no market, so you can imagine how much 10 kilograms of Moon Rock is worth.
He felt how lucky he was to cooperate with Chen Mo on the lunar exploration project. Given a piece of data as an investment, the return now far exceeds their investment.
Time passed in waiting. In the command center, every two minutes, the location of Luna-1 is reported.
Half an hour later, the ink girl beside Chen Mo spoke.
"Brother Mo, Luna 1 has returned, about two thousand meters above the base, and is descending."
"I'm back."
Chen Mo also had some expectations, and led Zhang Jianfeng out of the command room.
Xiao Yu and Mo Nu also followed behind them.
Walking out of the command center and reaching the edge of the airport, everyone looked up at the sky. In everyone's field of vision, the shadow of Luna-1 is not yet visible.
"There."
The ink girl pointed to a black dot under the white clouds in the sky.
The size of a sesame seed, if you don't look closely, you won't find that it's Luna 1 at all.
Zhang Jianfeng was a little nervous, his eyesight was not very good, and he was still staring at the sky, hoping to find it.
A minute later, the Luna-1 lander slowly zoomed in on everyone's sight. Luna 1, which is slightly larger than the water tank, is descending vertically with blue fireworks at the bottom.
"I'm back."
Finally seeing Luna No. 1, Zhang Jianfeng instantly became excited, he had already recognized it, and he was sure.
This is the first time that humans have brought lunar rocks and lunar soil from the back of the moon back to Earth.
Due to the particularity of the lunar back, the research value of these lunar soils and lunar rocks is slightly higher than that of the lunar surface brought back by the United States.
Luna-1 hovered two meters from the airfield, with the landing gear propped up and the ion engine turned off.
Phew!!
Luna 1, which landed steadily on the ground, marked the official return of the lunar rock and lunar soil on the back of the moon to Earth.
The next moment, the intelligent machines and staff on the ground quickly surrounded the Luna-1, took the Luna-1 back to the transport vehicle, and went back to the research institute of the space center.
"Let's go check it out."
Chen Mo took the lead and walked into the research institute.
Through the glass window, you can see that inside the laboratory, the robot has taken out the sealed jar that collects lunar soil and lunar rock, and is disinfecting and cleaning it.
Ordinary people can't get close for the time being, because they have just returned from the moon, and they are not sure if there are any mutated bacteria in space.
Ten minutes later, the tank was thoroughly cleaned and the sealed jar was sent to a sterile, dust-free laboratory.
"Finally you can see Moon Rock."
Zhang Jianfeng was extremely excited, wearing protective clothing, and after disinfection, he couldn't wait to enter the laboratory. What is displayed in the vacuum glass jar is the moon rock and lunar soil that their team dreams of, or the back of the moon.
In the past, only the United States had the ability to obtain moon rocks in the world, and now, one more is their private company in Huaxia.
Although it is not their team, it is also something to be happy about, which proves that Huaxia's technology is now strong.
"Academician Chen, what is your next space exploration plan? Is it convenient to talk about it? Zhang Jianfeng asked.
"The Flying Ant Space Center is being expanded, and a space station will be built next. Provide a location for our company's space tourism project and my research project. ”
Chen Mo said without hesitation.
"The next big plan is to find a suitable site on the moon and establish a lunar base. At the same time, I will build a larger space plane to prepare for future lunar travel and exploitation of the moon's resources. Before I can do that, though, I need to find a way to use Lunar Rock and Lunar Soil as a building material. ”
Chen Mo pointed to the moon rock inside the vacuum tank.
If you want to build a base on the moon, you must find a way to use the lunar soil as a building material for 3D printing, and if you simply send materials from the earth, the superpowers will not be able to stand this consumption.
He has the technical support of the Science and Technology Library, and using lunar soil as a 3D printing material is not technically difficult.
Hiss!!
Zhang Jianfeng was frightened by Chen Mo's courage.
This kind of big plan, even if it is a big country, is a concept at this stage, and Chen Mo is just a private company, so he dares to have this kind of courage and claim to build a lunar base.
If something goes wrong, even a large company like the marching ant group can be brought down.
But thinking of the helium-3 contained on the moon, as well as other rare minerals, and its significance, there seems to be nothing wrong with Chen Mo having that kind of scientific and technological strength.
If Chen Mo really succeeds in building a lunar base and developing the resources on the moon, his personal wealth will reach a terrifying level.
"During this period, I will continue to send more exploration robots into the moon to find a suitable place to build a base, and I can help with what instruments your team needs to put into it."
"Our lunar exploration project team is also preparing to launch the Chang'e lander in the near future, and this mission is also to obtain samples of lunar rock and lunar soil. You may need to provide some technical advice at that time. Zhang Jianfeng said.
Chen Mo's success in obtaining a sample of Moon Rock does not mean that they are also successful.
This is the original plan of the lunar exploration engineering team, and it will not abandon the implementation of this plan because Chen Mo successfully retrieved the sample.
"No problem." Chen Mo said.
After handing over 10 kilograms of moon rock and lunar soil to Zhang Jianfeng, Chen Mo sent him away from the Flying Ant Space Center, and Chen Mo and Xiaoyu left after him.
"Where to go on vacation? Do you decide or do I decide? Chen Mo asked.
Now that he has just returned from space, the doctor told him to recuperate and eliminate the physical fatigue of astronautics. Although he is in charge of big things, Xiaoyu will never compromise on this kind of small matter related to his body and life, Chen Mo can only rely on her.
"You decide, you can go anywhere, you just have to rest." Xiao Yu said.
"I'll take you and Wushuang home for a few days, and then we'll go out to play."
……
"Did you send it over?"
"Just delivered." Li Ruoxi nodded: "Boss, won't he personally announce it?" ”
"He just came back from space, the doctor said to rest, Xiao Yu stared too closely, you should know Xiao Yu, I don't dare to rob her at this time, otherwise I will be finished." Zhao Min said with a smile.
Chen Mo's body had happened a few times, and they were all frightened at the time, and now every time it is related to Chen Mo's body, Xiao Yu will never compromise.
Li Ruoxi smiled and immediately understood.
She and Xiaoyu are best friends who have nothing to say, Xiaoyu has a gentle and indisputable personality, and is usually very gentle, but what she really believes is very stubborn, and it is also about Chen Mo.
"Let's get started."
Zhao Min looked at the time and walked out of the backstage, followed by Li Ruoxi, Lan Xi and others.
The press conference of the marching ant group was crowded.
With anticipation on every reporter's face, the marching ant group announced yesterday that a press conference will be held today.
Even on the day that Chen Mo came back safely from space, the marching ant group did not have such a grand press conference, and did not even invite reporters to the scene, and today's sudden press conference must have more important news than Chen Mo's return from the sky.
From the previous press conferences, we know the style of the marching ant group, and major news will not be announced until the last moment, so they don't know what the important news to be announced by the marching ant group this time.
The next moment, when Zhao Min took the lead and came out of the backstage, the reporters on the field were instantly excited.
Zhao Min was present in person.
Judging from the previous press conferences, Zhao Min personally appeared at the scene, and there was no ordinary news.
"Inviting everyone here today is an important announcement."
Zhao Min stepped onto the podium of the press conference and went straight to the point.
She looked at the opening, and the staff carefully carried a box into the middle of the stage of the press conference.
Uncovered by the red cloth, it was a stone covered by a glass sphere, the size of a fist, which looked like a decaying fossil, and there was nothing special about it.
"What is this?"
"A fast-weathering stone?"
"Nothing special, right? Could it be some special material? ”
The eyes on the field were instantly attracted by this stone, which did not see anything special.
When everyone was full of doubts, Zhao Min spoke again.
"Just an hour ago, the Luna-1 lander that our group dropped on the far side of the moon successfully returned to the Flying Ant Space Center after obtaining lunar rock samples on the surface of the far side of the moon. The rock in front of you is a sample of the moon from the far side of the moon. This is the first time that humans have taken samples of rocks and soil from the far side of the moon. ”
Wow!!!
The scene of doubts, instant fry.
