549 Military presence
The command center immediately ordered the temporary base to ascertain the heavy water reserves as soon as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Ye Han drew the general extent of the heavy water area, he carried out a more detailed sampling survey, and the sampling distance was directly reduced from one kilometer to one hundred meters.
Surveying 30 square kilometers required a lot of work, and as another week passed, the situation in the entire heavy water area gradually became clear, and Ye Han added sampling points in the area with the highest heavy water content.
Due to the reduction of the sampling area, the sampling distance was finally reduced to 10 meters.
The results of the survey were marked on the map by hand, and after the last annotation, the heavy water area on the map became an oval, with the highest content in the center of the ellipse to the west, and the heavy water content record skyrocketed from 9.5% to 17.2%, almost doubling!
According to the panel, the cause of this phenomenon is likely to be the crash of an asteroid rich in heavy water into an icy lake.
As for how much heavy water is stored in the entire heavy water area, Ye Han doesn't care at all, and he doesn't have the ability to calculate.
The experts of the space center have answers, but the heavy water area has been a state secret from the beginning, and even if those who do not know dare to ask, no one dares to say what they know.
At the end of the investigation, the heavy water incident was shelved by the northern capital as if it had never happened, and the entire lake area was divided into various different areas, and the heavy water area was divided into a no-mining area, and no one was allowed to mine ice; The areas with many impurities are all classified as shallow water areas, which are not suitable for ice mining; The rest of the area is all divided into deep water areas, but it is also divided into two types: recoverable and uncollectible, which is said to be what is planned on the ground.
All in all, Ye Han will only be able to collect ice in a few designated areas in the future, rather than the entire lake area at its disposal.
Half a month after the second team arrived on the moon, the third team successfully arrived on the moon and built another base one kilometer away from the second team, and Ye Han's burden was heavier.
After that, the ground launched the Aerospace series of spacecraft at intervals of 15 to 20 days, and two months later, the crater already has four temporary bases, 50 astronauts, construction sites everywhere, thousands of tons of moon rock dug up every day, and 24-hour uninterrupted communication with the command center.
Thanks to the convenience of communication, astronauts are still well aware of the situation on Earth, even if they are far away from the moon.
At this time, the northern hemisphere has entered the height of summer, but the environment in the crater has remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, Ye Han has long forgotten about the change of seasons, until he saw his wife changing into a thin summer dress when he was on the video with Bai Xiaoting, Ye Han suddenly realized what time it was, and couldn't help but sigh that he had long forgotten what the season was.
It was only when he was on the phone with Bai Xiaoting that Ye Han felt that he was still a living person.
It's not that he has any world-weary thoughts, but there are too few people in the temporary base, everyone has been together for a long time, and what they can say has been said over and over again, Ye Han has memorized everyone's ancestors for eight generations, and they have a tacit understanding with each other as if they were a person, there is really nothing to say.
In fact, there is not so much to say to Bai Xiaoting, but even if he just looks at Bai Xiaoting's appearance, Ye Han's heart can be full of happiness.
Heaven and earth are separated, and the two of them can only use this method to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Everything went according to plan, until Gao Kai called all the team leaders together: "I just received a report from the command center that the US manned spacecraft has been launched, and it will be able to reach the moon in a few days." ”
Gao Kai is now the supreme head on the moon, overseeing all affairs of the four temporary bases.
The team leaders gathered here are the specific persons in charge of each base, the No. 2 and No. 3 temporary bases only have the engineering team and the logistics group, and the No. 1 and No. 4 bases add water supply and oxygen production groups, a total of ten team leaders.
It was these ten team leaders and dozens of astronauts who supported the construction of the lunar base.
Gao Kai looked around at everyone with blazing eyes: "Everyone knows the situation over there, the equipment is basically in place, and the people have not yet arrived, as the old saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, the command center means, let us be more careful, and guard against the Americans." ”
In recent months, the U.S.-led international base has been preparing equipment, and every once in a while, a spacecraft arrives on the moon.
There is no atmospheric refraction here, and with just an ordinary telescope, you can see the spacecraft take off and land.
Although the lunar base was created in a hasty manner and did not have the ability to travel long distances, the temporary base and the ground command center have been keeping an eye on the international base through satellites and are well aware of the readiness of the international base.
The Yankees are not stupid, they have also prepared several satellites around the moon for a long time, and they have been monitoring the situation at the temporary base, and the current situation is that there are no secrets on both sides, at least on the surface.
Gao Kai added: "According to the instructions of the command center, notify all members of the military group to prepare for the handover, and the military team will immediately enter a state of standby to prepare for the uncertainties brought by the international base." ”
"How do you solve the personnel gap?" Hu Liang asked the leaders what they thought.
"The spacecraft 5, which is about to arrive on the moon, will no longer establish a new base, and the astronauts on board the 5th will fill the vacancies left by the military team and replenish the strength of the existing four teams...... Ye Han! ”
"Here!"
"The work of the three groups will be handed over to Duan Zhiyang immediately, but before the arrival of the fifth, the military team cannot move for the time being, you must pick up the burden first."
Ye Han frowned: "I obey the organizational arrangement, but the military team is poor and white, what should I do to carry out my work?" ”
Gao Kai immediately said: "The command center instructed that you will be responsible for the monitoring of the international base from now on, and the ground has agreed to allocate some resources to print weapons and equipment, and the ground has prepared a digital model for printing, and you can contact the command center yourself." ”
"Good!" Ye Han nodded, his heart was hot.
After more than two months as a miner, he almost forgot what it was like to fight.
"Don't expose the equipment after it is in place, the meaning of the ground is that the international base is not a threat at present, we must focus on the construction of the base, and we must have military strength at the same time, we must also dilute the military presence, and avoid turning the construction of the moon base into a lunar arms race...... In my personal opinion, the military team is temporarily in charge of Ye Han alone, and the others are ready but there is no need to leave work. ”
Several team leaders nodded in unison, equivalent to Gao Kai's plan, and even Ye Han voted in favor: "I basically agree with Captain Gao's suggestion, my opinion is that people can not be concentrated, but weapons and equipment must be in place in advance." ”
Gao Kai sighed: "The ground only approved your equipment, the others should wait." ”
"When?" Ye Han asked
"The raw materials are transported by the Kongtian 5."
