The completion of the first base means that the lunar base has initially begun to develop in the direction of self-sufficiency; The completion of the first phase of the project means that the lunar base has initial industrial capacity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the design and production capacity of the first phase of the project is small, it is a real industrial production capacity, and it covers various industries involved in the construction of the base.

At this point, as long as the lunar base is given enough time, after ten or twenty years, the lunar base will gradually grow into a behemoth.

However, what human beings lack most is time, it is impossible to wait for more than ten or twenty years under the pressure of giant insects step by step, and the first batch of industrial equipment placed in the lunar base is not used for production, but to verify the operation and use of these equipment on the moon, and lay the foundation for the design of high-capacity equipment.

Although human beings have a very good understanding of the situation on the moon, it is definitely not so simple to move industry to the moon, and small-scale verification is the safest way.

Imagine if you directly launch large-scale equipment, whether there is an abnormality in the equipment or a problem with the product, the cost is so heavy that no country can afford it.

The industrial system of the lunar base is the top priority of the entire lunar palace plan, and the news was transmitted back to the earth, and the space base sent two spacecraft to the sky in just three days, and the more than 20 astronauts who took the spacecraft were all all-rounders in industry, including chemical, metallurgical, and manufacturing industries.

After all, having industrial capacity is only the first step taken by the lunar base, and only by transforming industrial capacity into real production capacity can the sustainable development of the lunar base be guaranteed.

After arriving on the moon, the expert group immediately took over the industrial zone of the lunar base and formulated a comprehensive industrial plan according to the actual situation of the lunar base.

The first step in the plan was to refine the iron and titanium in the basalt of the Moon Sea.

As the name suggests, the Moon Sea Basalt is the basalt found in the Moon Sea, but the thing is by no means only in the Moon Sea, the crater that surrounds the temporary base, and its main component is the Moon Sea Basalt!

The construction personnel dug out a large number of Yuehai basalt in several months of engineering work, and countless rocks were piled up near the base, as long as a part of it was sent to the industrial area, the metal content in it can be determined, and the smelting experiment was carried out after crushing and screening.

Everyone knows that although the rocks contain a lot of iron and titanium, the so-called large amount is based on the fact that the moon has a large amount of lunar sea basalt, not that the rock has a particularly high metal content.

On Earth, ore of this grade has no mining value at all. But on the moon, the industrial group has no choice in the short term, unless a large iron ore or titanium ore is discovered.

But where are the mines so easy to discover?

The experts in the industrial group are all real elites in the industry, and they will not give any of them in vain, but in a few days, the first furnace of metal is extracted from a large pile of rock.

The metal in this furnace is mainly iron, and there are some titanium, but the total amount is less than one-fifth of iron.

The steel industry is one of the most important basic industries, and with enough steel, the speed of construction of the base can be increased by several levels.

The plan to launch large-scale equipment was immediately put on the agenda, and all kinds of mineral processing equipment were immediately put in place, and while the mineral processing work was in full swing, the industrial team dismantled the two aerospace spacecraft and sent the spacecraft shells into the industrial area and placed them in the smelting area.

After dismantling the equipment and carrying out certain modifications, the outer shell of the spacecraft immediately became two electric furnace shells more than ten meters high.

Although it is only a shell, it also solves the big problem of the industrial group, if there is no spaceship shell, the industrial group can only use the pitiful little output of the experimental furnace, and slowly accumulate the metal needed to make the electric furnace.

As for the other materials needed for the electric furnace, all the materials can be taken locally and solved on the spot, and they must be reported immediately by the ground.

A series of changes dazzled Ye Han, first built smelting equipment, and then used lunar soil to make cement, and the strength of lunar soil cement is much higher than ordinary cement, and then used lunar soil to make glass.

Is the composition of lunar soil also silica?

What he didn't expect was that the industrial team actually solved the problem of radiation from the lunar soil, and the method couldn't be simpler - scrape off the surface of the lunar soil and only take the deep lunar soil!

The radiation of the lunar soil is the same as the radiation from the surface of the glacial lake, and the rays from the universe are blocked by the surface, and the deep lunar soil does not contain any radiation unless it contains radioactive materials.

Because of this, lunar soil cement must be used for lunar bases in the lunar base, but the lunar soil resources in the crater are too few, and large-scale application is not realistic.

In order to solve this problem, the engineering team came up with a new plan to continue to excavate Hole 4, where the industrial zone is located, until the crater is excavated to connect the world beyond the crater and thus obtain more resources.

Although it is troublesome to open the crater, it is much easier than climbing over the crater, and the excavation of the tunnel can also be regarded as the expansion of the industrial area, and then with the assistance of satellites, the direction of the excavation can be grasped, and even the location of the exit can be strictly controlled.

While the industrial team is fully operational, the second phase of the lunar base project is in full swing.

The plan is not as fast as the change, the original second phase of the plan has been changed accordingly with the progress of the base construction, and the entire second phase plan has only two directions.

The first is the tunnel that penetrates the crater, and the tunnel project is related to the subsequent construction of the base and must be given the highest priority.

The second is the expansion plan of the agricultural area, which will increase the food supply capacity of the lunar base as quickly as possible.

The tunnel project does not need too many manpower, Gao Kai only arranged a construction team, and the remaining construction personnel are all concentrated in the No. 1 tunnel, expanding the space to the left and right sides while developing underground, planning to build the No. 1 hole into a multi-storey composite three-dimensional farm, the short-term goal is to meet the supply of staple and sideline food for 1,000 people, the medium-term goal is to expand the supply to 10,000 people, and the long-term goal is to supply 100,000 people - this goal is too far, so it is only a goal at present.

During this period, the second nuclear reactor of the lunar base was settled in Cave 2.

Reactor 1 has enough power generation capacity to supply a medium-sized city, but the base is located in the polar regions of the moon, if the reactor fails, the operation of the entire lunar base will immediately stop, if the reactor cannot be repaired in a short time, once the liquid metal of the cooling reactor solidifies, the reactor is in danger of melting, and all astronauts must leave the moon immediately, even the lunar base has to be abandoned.

Now that the lunar base has taken shape, it is too risky to have only one reactor, so the ground spares no expense to send a second reactor to the moon.

Fortunately, the military reactor is not large, and a spaceship can barely fit it.
