At 6 o'clock the next day, the moon base is here.

One after another, the astronauts woke up from their sleep.

"Liu Hanwen, how are you sleeping?"

Kong Zhifei looked at Liu Hanwen, who was moving his body bones, and asked with a smile.

"It's okay~ It doesn't seem to be any different from the earth."

Liu Hanwen smiled and said.

"I didn't sleep well all night, and I was very excited, especially when I thought that I was on the moon, I couldn't sleep at all."

Kong Zhifei shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, me too~"

At this time, Fang Bo also walked over, opened the window, and immediately saw the blue planet in the void.

"It's time for breakfast~"

Captain Li Haiyang's voice rang out from the loudspeaker in the room.

Since there is no air on the moon, the propagation of sound is a problem.

If astronauts go out for a walk, whether it is a spacesuit or a lunar rover they drive, there is a communication system on it, but there is nothing.

In the lunar base, each room of the lunar base has a separate system, which is operated independently, and in order to facilitate communication and exchange, each room is installed with a dialogue system.

The other room is the room of the female astronauts, and the four female astronauts are very virtuous at this time to heat up the meals, of course, these meals have been prepared in advance, and only need to be heated in the microwave.

Unlike the shabby Americans who landed on the moon half a century ago, the things that astronauts ate at that time did not consider taste at all, and all of them were high-energy things, made into toothpaste, and squeezed out when eating.

The taste is very poor, but eating a little bit is enough to ensure energy needs.

Li Haiyang and the others are naturally completely different, there are eighteen kinds of flavors, all kinds of dishes, and even this time, they also carried a lot of vegetable seeds.

In the future, a vegetable base will be built on the lunar base, so that astronauts, scientists, etc., who live and work on the moon, can eat fresh vegetables.

"Eat ~ eat ~ eat ~ "

Shen Yue is a female astronaut, smiling and beckoning everyone to eat, after eating, they still have a lot of tasks to do.

The construction of the lunar base, the exploration of surrounding resources, and the collection of lunar soil and rock samples, etc., are all busy.

At 10 o'clock, the two spaceships will return to Earth, so the actual remaining working time is only 3 hours, which is relatively tight.

Of course, this time, not everyone will go back, and there will be 8 astronauts who will stay on the moon to continue building a lunar base and exploring the surrounding resources.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, the eighteen people had a clear division of labor and began to get busy.

Some people continue to build lunar bases, others go to explore the surrounding resources, and some go to collect lunar soil, rock samples, and so on.

Li Haiyang, Liu Hanwen, Kong Zhifei, and Fang Bo belonged to the members of the resource exploration team, and one of them drove a lunar rover to four directions.

Desolate and desolate, full of craters, the surface of the moon is covered with rocks of all sizes.

The lunar rover driven by Liu Hanwen walked very slowly on the desolate land.

The engineering vehicle carries a variety of high-tech detection equipment, and you can get a rough idea of what minerals are nearby just by walking from the surface of the moon.

"Didi! Didi! ”

The exploration equipment on the lunar project is constantly running and working, and all the data and information are synchronously transmitted to the control and command center on this side of the earth, and at the same time, Liu Hanwen is also chatting with other teammates, and on the desolate surface of the moon, 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 compete with our giant iron ore in Tianfu 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."

Fang Bo's voice came from inside the communication headset.

"Titanium and iron are the most widely distributed on the Moon, and there are 22 major lunar seas on the surface of the Moon, 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, and the moon sea basalts are rich in iron and titanium, and the volume of basalt filled in the 22 moon sea is about 1,010 cubic kilometers, and the moon sea basalt contains rich resources such as titanium and iron."

"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 Li Haiyang also spoke, obviously he had also learned the relevant information in advance, and he was very clear about it.

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

At this time, there was an excited voice in his ears, which was Kong Zhifei's voice.

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."

At this time, Fang Bo's voice also sounded, and everyone was 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."

Liu Hanwen looked at the data that kept appearing in the computer, and the probes on the lunar engineering vehicle would automatically display it on the computer.

Helium-3, which is abundant in lunar soil, while there is almost no helium-3 on Earth, is estimated at 715,000 tons of helium-3 in lunar soil.

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 easily controlled nuclear fusion, and can be used not only in terrestrial nuclear power plants, but also especially suitable for astronautics.

Due to the large amount of helium-3 reserves on the moon, it is undoubtedly a send-off in the snow for the earth, which is relatively short of energy in the future, but with the current level of science and technology on 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."

There was another voice in his ears, this was Kong Zhifei's voice, the resources on the moon are too rich, many times there are not only one or two resources in a place, many resources are densely and centrally distributed together.

The resources on the moon are too abundant, and the storm ocean area selected by scientists is itself explored by resource exploration satellites in advance, which is definitely a very fat area.

Liu Hanwen looked at the data in the computer, and he could detect good minerals everywhere, such as iron ore, copper ore, titanium ore, and rare earth ore......

All kinds of mineral deposits are very abundant, the reserves are amazing, easy to mine, many of them are open pit mines, and they are very valuable for mining.

"After searching for most of the day, have you found gold or silver?"

Liu Hanwen looked at the data in the computer, thought about it carefully, and seemed to be missing something.

The most exciting thing is, of course, gold, because it is extremely valuable, and it is sold by the gram, and if you can find a gold mine, you will definitely make a fortune.

"Gold and silver are both precious metals, even on the earth are extremely rare, in the early stage we used resource exploration satellites to explore the entire moon, but we did not find the existence of these two things."

The earphones remembered Li Haiyang's voice, although the moon is extremely rich in resources, but gold and silver have never been found.

"No, even if there is no gold on the moon itself, it has been hit by countless meteorites for hundreds of millions of years, and there is no gold in this meteorite?"

Liu Hanwen expressed his suspicions, gold is a good thing, if you really find a gold mine, or the kind with large reserves, then the country will be released, and the mining of gold alone is enough to greatly promote the development of the lunar mining industry.

"What you said makes sense, there must be, but it shouldn't be much, and it doesn't have much value~"

Li Haiyang thought about it and nodded in agreement, gold is scarce on the earth, and it may not be in the universe, everything is difficult to say.

While chatting with his teammates, Liu Hanwen drove the moon on the moon to show continuous exploration, and from time to time he would find a place to drill holes, collect some underground rocks and soil samples, or drill some large rocks to see if there were any gems in the rocks.
