Chapter 132, Moon Base

The area of the lunar base is not large, only less than 1000 square meters, all made of alloy steel plates, which are divided into many independent rooms, each room is independent of each other, each has its own independent survival system, the purpose is to prevent problems in a certain place, other rooms can be used normally, fully ensure the safety of the lunar base.

"Start the detection system!"

After all kinds of equipment and instruments were transported into the lunar base, Nan Junpeng activated the automatic detection equipment.

The compressed air was slowly released in the lunar base, and soon the independent rooms in the entire base were filled with air from the earth, and at the same time, the temperature regulating equipment began to adjust the temperature in the base, constant temperature and humidity, which is the most basic condition.

"Toot toot! If you find an air leak, fix it immediately. ”

"Li Yang, go to room 8 to repair the air leak, whew, fortunately, there is only one air leak problem, and everything else is perfect."

Hearing the alarm sound of the central computer of the lunar base, Nan Junpeng breathed a sigh of relief, because there was only one problem of air leakage, which was a minor problem and could be easily solved.

After all, this lunar base is spliced with alloy steel plates that have been planned in advance, even if it is precisely combined and designed, it is inevitable that there will be one or two small problems, after all, it is spliced on the moon, and just one air leak is nothing at all.

"The air leak point was repaired, the state of the lunar base was detected to be perfect, and the trial operation began."

Soon, Li Yang repaired the air leakage, and the central computer of the lunar base began to automatically control the operation of various equipment in the base, so as to ensure that the lunar base can operate perfectly and that there will be no serious major hidden dangers and problems.

In the future, Huaxia will definitely build more moon bases on the moon with more complete functions and more huge functions, but everything is indispensable to the current small moon base as a foundation and springboard, so there must be no problems.

Nan Junpeng, Li Yang, Xiao Mingguang, and other seven astronauts returned to the "Houyi" space plane, and after eating to replenish their energy, they began to fall asleep one by one, and they had been working for more than 10 hours in order to complete the work of the lunar base in one go.

After working on the moon in thick spacesuits for so long and with such intensity, even if they were in good physical condition, they were already quite tired at this time, and soon, they all fell into a deep sleep.

According to the lunar landing plan, they will work on the moon for several days, complete the construction of the runway of the lunar base, the construction of the lunar base, and will drive the lunar rover to explore the moon's resources, collect lunar resource samples and many other work, and the expected return time is October 4, 2019.

Earth, Jiuquan Space Center Command Center here, the actions of the 7 astronauts on the moon are naturally strictly in accordance with the command of the command center, and the scientists here in the command center are all smiling on their faces, because up to now, everything has been carried out perfectly.

With the successful landing on the moon, the construction of the lunar base, and the perfect operation of the lunar base, it can be said that the only thing left to worry about is when the "Houyi" aerospace plane takes off from the moon and returns home.

"There is nothing to worry about below, after the completion of the lunar runway, our aerospace aircraft can land directly on the surface of the moon in the future, and then the runway will continue to be lengthened and widened to build a large airport, and it will be more convenient and fast to travel to and from the moon in the future."

"It's just that this lunar base is too small, and it's quite troublesome to build, it seems that in the future, it will be necessary to build a larger aerospace aircraft, and directly transport the already built base to the moon completely, and finally form a large lunar base."

Liu Shiying looked at the various data transmitted back from the lunar base, and it was already the morning of October 2nd, and many scientists had not slept all night, because no one knew whether there would be any critical situation that everyone needed to think of to remedy.

Seeing that everything was running perfectly, Liu Shiying also stretched his waist, ready to go back and rest like other scientists, after all, there are still many days to be busy.

"Well, let's go, go back and have a good rest, with our current space strength, the construction of the moon base will be very fast, I estimate that it won't be long before we can go to the moon base for scientific investigation."

Li Fu also nodded, with the current space technology in China, the moon landing is really not too difficult, and the cost is far lower than the moon landing activity in the last century.

The extensive use of aerospace aircraft can deliver materials to space very quickly, cheaply and efficiently, even if they are transported to the moon, they are many times cheaper than other countries on the earth to transport materials into space by launching rockets, and the amount of transportation is far from being comparable with rocket delivery.

The behemoth of a rocket looks very huge, but the materials it can transport are pitiful and expensive, and the cost of a carrier rocket used to launch satellites or spacecraft and other spacecraft is hundreds of millions of dollars.

The cost is high, the transportation volume is low, and it is easy to have accidents, even the most technologically advanced Uncle Sam, there have been two serious accidents in history to launch rockets to carry the space shuttle, resulting in the sacrifice of more than ten astronauts, and the losses are very heavy, which is why Uncle Sam gradually retired the space shuttle.

But now the mastery of the aerospace aircraft in China is different, the aerospace aircraft is very safe, reliable, convenient, and because it only consumes electricity and compressed air, it is very cheap, and more importantly, Li Fu has researched the black gold materials, and even the cost of the aerospace aircraft has been reduced to 3 billion Chinese dollars at once, and the overall cost is actually less than one percent of the launch vehicle.

In the future, if Li Fu's spacecraft company develops cheaper aerospace aircraft, this cost can be further reduced, which is why Huaxia can ambitiously propose to develop the space industry, with the space industry as the core and pillar of confidence.

Eight hours later, the time had come to 14 o'clock on October 2, Chinese time, and the seven astronauts who were far away from the moon base woke up one after another, ate and replenished their energy, put on spacesuits, and drove the lunar rover to start intense and busy work again.

"The moon base is running very well without any problems."

Nan Junpeng first checked the operation of the lunar base, and the trial operation lasted for more than 8 hours, without any problems, which made everyone feel relieved, because according to the plan, this time 2 out of 7 people will stay here on the lunar base, and will only return to the earth after the next wave of astronauts arrive on the moon to replace them, so whether the lunar base can operate well is also very important.

"Lan Yu and Liu Qi stayed at the base and the space plane, and the others drove the lunar rover to explore resources."

Nan Junpeng began to divide the labor, and today their task is still very heavy, to complete the exploration of resources around the lunar base, collect samples, and so on.

Five lunar engineering vehicles left five long traces on the surface of the moon, Nan Junpeng and the five people were divided into two groups and began to explore resources in two directions, while Lan Yu and Liu Qi continued to stay at the base and the aerospace plane, erecting solar panels, carrying materials in the aerospace aircraft, and so on.

The original energy source of the lunar base was the same magnetic field battery on the aerospace aircraft, and the two large magnetic field batteries had millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity, which was enough to ensure the operation of the lunar base for a long time, but for the sake of safety, solar system energy panels were also indispensable and could be used as supplementary energy.

Xiao Mingguang, Yu Haitian, and Ouyang Hao drove three lunar rovers on the surface of the moon, the moon is very desolate, and there are potholes everywhere, all of which are formed by meteorite impacts from space, such as the large basins on the moon, the moon sea, and so on.

And these craters are caused by the impact of small meteorites and the like, because the air on the surface of the moon is very, very rare, not even one billionth of the earth's air, and it can be said that there is no air at all, so meteorites from space and so on will not burn up at all because of air friction like the earth.

Whether it is a large meteorite, or a small meteorite, etc., can be installed on the surface of the moon one by one pits out, over a long period of time, it has gradually formed the current surface of the moon this landform, large meteorites hit a huge basin and the lunar sea, small meteorites are the craters of the moon's impact.

From this point of view alone, why the earth can give birth to life, because the huge atmosphere on the surface of the earth has helped to reach a lot of meteorite impacts from space, and the impact of ordinary small meteorites on the earth will not have any impact on the earth at all, and will directly burn up in the atmosphere.

As for the large meteorite hitting the earth, it will also burn due to air friction, so that its mass and volume will be greatly reduced, and after hitting the earth, the power will also be greatly reduced, and it will definitely not be as direct as the moon.

And cosmic astronomers have studied the surface, in fact, the Earth's satellite Moon has served as a shield many times in history, and there have been several large meteorites in history that are enough to cause devastating disasters to hit the Earth, and they are all blocked by the Moon, from another aspect, the Moon can also be regarded as the Earth's bodyguard.
