Chapter 133, full of treasures

Near the lunar base of the lunar storm ocean, Ouyang Hao set up a lunar engineering vehicle and slowly drove on the surface of the moon, this kind of lunar rover specially designed by scientists is driven by electricity, and there is a battery with millions of degrees of electricity stored as an energy source, which is enough for the lunar rover to work on the moon for a long time.

This kind of lunar engineering vehicle specially designed for exploring the moon is very powerful, not only can be used to carry things, dig soil, ores, etc., but also installed on the lunar positioning, communication system, carry a variety of high-tech exploration equipment, just from the surface of the moon can roughly know what minerals are nearby.

"Didi! Didi! ”

The exploration equipment on the lunar project is constantly running and working, and all the data and information are directly transmitted to Ouyang Hao's brain through the virtual machine, and at the same time, Ouyang Hao is also chatting with other teammates, on the desolate lunar surface here, if you don't chat, everything is silent, and the whole person will feel panicked.

"Tsk, the resources on the moon are really too rich, I found a giant ilmenite here, the preliminary detection of reserves as high as 5 billion tons, enough to be comparable to our giant iron ore in Panzhihua, China, this is only the preliminary detection results, and according to the detection data show that this iron ore is still open-pit, the iron content is very high."

Through the virtual machine, Ouyang Hao's voice came from Li Yang's mind, and a huge iron ore had been discovered over there.

"Titanium and iron are the most widespread on the Moon, with 22 major lunar seas on its surface, 19 of which are located on the front side of the Moon (the side facing the Earth). There are a large number of moon sea basalts in these moon seas, which are rich in iron and titanium. The volume of basalt filled in the 22 Moon Sea is about 1,010 cubic kilometers, and the basalt of the Moon Sea is rich in titanium, iron and other resources. ”

"The area chosen by our lunar base itself has been explored by scientists in advance using resource exploration satellites, and there are rich mineral resources around it, and the discovery of an iron ore is nothing at all."

At this time, the captain Nan Junpeng also spoke, and it was obvious that he had also learned the relevant information in advance.

"Haha, a big discovery, I've found Corkrip Rock here."

At this time, there was an excited voice in his mind, this was Yu Haitian's voice, Yu Haitian and Ouyang Hao were in a team, Ouyang Hao hurriedly looked at Yu Haitian's side.

Crippite is the name of a rock that is widely distributed on the moon and is one of the three major rock types in the lunar highlands, named for its richness in potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus.

The thorium and uranium-rich kripps are overlain by the later moon sea basalts, which are mixed and form high thorium and uranium materials, the thickness of which is estimated to be 10 km ~ 20 km.

The total resources of rare earth elements in the Crip rock in the storm ocean area are about 22.5 billion tons ~ 45 billion tons, and the rich thorium and uranium contained in the Crip rock are also one of the important mineral resources for human development and utilization of lunar resources in the future.

"How can you discover rare earths quickly, but this is nothing, the distribution of rare earths on the moon is still very wide, and the storm ocean area is one of the areas with the largest kripp rock reserves, and the discovery of rare earths is nothing."

"Let's see who can discover the rarer resources first."

This is Yu Haitian's voice also sounded, and everyone was also very happy to play the treasure hunting game with each other.

"There is helium-3 everywhere, and the distribution of helium-3 in the soil of the moon is too abundant."

Ouyang Hao's mind is constantly receiving data, what resources are probably in the place where the lunar engineering vehicle has walked, and the detectors on the engineering vehicle will be directly displayed in Ouyang Hao's brain.

Helium-3, which is abundant in lunar soil, is almost non-existent on Earth. The amount of helium-3 in lunar soil is estimated at 715,000 tons.

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, and can be used not only in terrestrial nuclear power plants, but also especially suitable for space navigation.

Due to the large reserves of helium-3 on the moon, it is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow for the earth that is relatively short of energy in the future, but with the current level of science and technology of the earth, there is no controlled nuclear fusion technology at present, and for the time being, the helium-3 resources with the richest content on the moon are useless at all.

However, helium-3 is still a very important resource, once mankind has mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology in the future, a large amount of helium-3 will be needed at that time, but this resource is not available on the earth, and the moon is rich in helium-3 resources, which has naturally become the focus of competition among the world's major powers.

But now, only Huaxia has established a lunar base on the entire moon, which can be said to be advanced, the moon is so big, if you want to occupy that piece, you can occupy that piece, and where the resources are abundant, you can occupy it, anyway, no one is competing with you now.

"Haha, I have found a large copper mine here, with reserves of up to hundreds of millions of tons."

Another voice sounded in his mind, this is Xiao Mingguang's voice, the resources on the moon are too rich, many times a place not only has one or two resources, many resources are densely and centrally distributed together.

"Why can't you find gold on the moon?"

"Gold? At present, it seems that no gold has been found on the moon, whether it is our resource exploration satellites or the resource exploration satellites of other countries, it seems that there is really no gold found on the moon. ”

"Are there any diamonds?"

"Diamonds may be there, but like gold, neither of these things has been found by resource exploration satellites, but that doesn't negate the lack of these two things on the moon."

"I'd like to pick up a few diamonds and take them back as souvenirs."

“……”

"You think diamonds are ordinary basalt, you still want to pick up a few diamonds and go back as souvenirs, if you can find diamonds, it is really lucky."

"Yes, yes, remember to help me pick up a few, I really envy you for being able to go to the moon to pick up treasures."

At this time, the voice of blue rain also sounded, and they all joined in the fun.

"Gold? Diamond? These things may be very valuable on the earth, but even if they are on the moon, if the reserves are not very large, the content is not very high, and it is inconvenient to mine, in fact, it is not of much value. ”

Ouyang Hao listened to where his teammates were chatting, and from time to time someone said that he had discovered a certain mine, and the most natural ones were iron ore, titanium ore, rare earth ore, and copper ore, and someone called out almost every once in a while.

The lunar rover driven by Ouyang Hao continued to walk on the surface of the moon, and the five people responsible for the exploration gradually separated each other more and more, because there are positioning satellites and the "Moon Palace" space station in the lunar space, and the energy on the lunar rover is also very sufficient, so compared with Uncle Sam's lunar rover, this time the moon in China can rest assured that it can boldly explore farther and wider on the moon.

"This pit is really big enough, with a diameter of more than 1,000 meters, and there is a huge ore in the center, which seems to be the huge pit formed by its impact on the moon."

"Well, the surrounding iron ore is very rich, and it can be regarded as a relatively large iron mine."

"Wait, the middle area of this pit, why is the data shown by the detectors in this area a little different, there seems to be something special, and it's in that huge rock."

Ouyang Hao looked carefully in his mind, because the distribution of iron ore around was too rich, so the area here showed that there was a large iron ore around, but the middle data of this pit showed that it was a little different.

"Find a way to go down and have a look."

Ouyang Hao drove the lunar rover around the huge crater, found a relatively gentle slope, and carefully accelerated the lunar rover into the big crater.

"It's this big rock, now it's less and less interfered with by the iron ore, and the signal from the detector is clearer."

Ouyang Hao slowly approached the huge meteorite, this meteorite from space, and the probe sent out very clear data at this time, showing that there was an unknown mineral in it.

"Earth Command Center, I found an unknown ore, this huge meteorite should come from outer space, not the moon itself, the probe can't analyze what is inside, and ask experts to help analyze it."

Ouyang Hao drove the lunar rover around the huge meteorite, this huge meteorite was pitch black, the surface was uneven, and the whole was still a spherical structure, and at the same time, Ouyang Hao sent the data back to the Earth Command Center.

A few seconds later, the scientists of the Earth Command Center received Ouyang Hao's request, and soon a team of scientists in the field of mineral resources began to analyze the data, and in the end, the analysis was not very sure of what was contained in this huge meteorite.

"Cut the stone in part."

Scientists on this side of the earth decided to cut a part of the stone first, and a manipulator pen on the lunar engineering vehicle driven by Ouyang Hao began to cut this meteorite from outer space.

Soon, the thick black shell of this meteorite was peeled off, and under the illumination of the sun, a ray of light shone out, Ouyang Hao saw it, and suddenly came to his senses, and constantly used his mechanical arm to continuously peel off the larger area around him, and a huge stone that shimmered with crystal light revealed Ouyang Hao's field of vision.

At the same time, the scientists on the side of the Earth Command Center also quickly received the relevant information, and one by one the scientists looked at the shining stone, and their minds were constantly thinking about what it was.
