There are different sources of water resources on the moon, the first source is the water in the constant shade area, many human misunderstandings are that the far side of the moon has always been dark, but in fact, both sides can receive sunlight, but due to the geographical location and depth, some large craters on the pole are in eternal shadow, these places are called permanent shadow areas, that is, the constant shade area of the moon.

Because they never see the light of day, these craters have become one of the coldest places in the solar system, even more stunningly than the surface of Pluto.

In the experimental office of the R&D Center of Tianqing Industrial Zone, Gu Cheng looked at the members of the moon landing on the video call screen alone and said, "...... The temperature inside the crater at the pole can reach a cold -249 degrees Celsius, and the reason why Western scientists used rocket parts to hit this location is because the constant yin area is always ultra-cold, and they are like cold rooms, freezing and condensing volatile water molecules. ”

It is worth mentioning that these water molecules were not originally created on the moon, but over a long period of billions of years, from watery comets or other stars that fell on the moon, and any water molecules that reached the constant yin region would permanently condense into ice.

But this is not the only source of lunar water, and there is a certain amount of water in itself, and in the lunar samples brought back by Apollo 15 and 17, scientists in North America have found glassy beads.

The third water source is through the sun, produced by the hydrogen and oxygen produced on the surface of the moon, the source of oxygen is obvious, 45% of the surface of the moon is composed of oxygen-rich minerals, and the free state of hydrogen is brought by the solar wind, the solar wind constantly hits the surface of the moon with protons, and the protons react with oxygen to form hydroxides, and finally form water.

These water molecules float around the surface of the Moon, either flying into the universe or entering the Constant Yin region to permanently freeze into ice, which has accumulated considerable water sources for billions of years.

"At present, mankind has all the detailed data and some speculative references on the far side of the moon, and they have all been sent to you, so I will study the subject of rushing to the Hengyin region, and when the Sky Blade spacecraft returns to the moon in half a month, it will carry you to the pole." Gu Cheng said.

The Mendeleev meteorite impact crater is located near the lunar equator, and the exposure to the polar regions is almost 1,700 kilometers, and the lunar rover can also complete this journey in about four days, and the lunar rover can pull some equipment and supplies, enough for three people to maintain a month's consumption.

But the risk is too high, the road condition information is unknown, once there is an accident, it is really not called heaven and earth, and you can only send personnel to rescue through the base of Mendeleev's impact crater.

Under the premise of lack of rescue resources, it is impossible for Gu Cheng to let them drive a strange distance of 1,700 kilometers from the surface of the moon, but fortunately, the Americans will not be able to go to the moon for a while and a half, and they do not need to be too anxious to take huge risks to occupy the pit.

The United States will not be able to come for a while, and as for other countries, it will be even more impossible.

As soon as the communication ended, Leah distributed it immediately after receiving the data, and the live broadcast on the other side ended, and the follow-up time will not continue to be broadcast.

It has been almost a month since Tianqing Technology Group announced the manned landing on the moon, and it is quite exaggerated to be able to have such a long period of popularity.

But no matter how big the heat is, it can't last forever, and without more exciting content exposure, the popularity of the people will eventually dissipate.

Li Peng, as the first batch of Tianqing Technology's commercial space exploration advance team to land on the moon, in the following days, they carried out exploration around the lunar base, that is, the geology of the Mendeleev meteorite impact crater.

In just two or three days, the team members explored around the base and discovered that the Mendeleev crater was extremely rich in minerals, and the 17 most common elements on Earth abounded here.

Actual exploration studies have also confirmed the research results of previous scholars, and the moon rocks contain all the elements on Earth and more than 60 minerals, of which 7 minerals are not found on Earth, compared to 6 previously predicted.

The results of these studies were obtained in less than a week, and the main mineral resources rich in Mendeleev crater are iron, titanium, potassium and rare earths, which have been discovered long before this, and the only thing that is not known is the specific reserves.

The Mendeleev crater was chosen as the site because these mineral resources are abundant, especially iron, titanium and rare earths, and the only thing lacking here is abundant water sources, which can only be collected through the Hengyin area.

This is not an impossible problem, as long as the water is on the moon, the cost of extracting it can be accepted anywhere, and it is not realistic to transport water from the earth.

There are many more rare metal reserves on the moon than on the earth, and the rare earth reserves here in the Mendeleev impact crater alone are as high as hundreds of millions of tons, and the importance of rare earths to modern industry is self-evident.

Now the Nobel Prize institutions in Europe are very nervous and excited.

The epic landing plan on the far side of the moon of Tianqing Technology has caused a sensation to all mankind, showing its ambitious side in front of the world, and the magnificent era of space exploration has begun.

……

On this side of the earth, Gu Cheng received an unexpected news, and the old man John Dylan came to the door suddenly.

At around half past ten in the morning, Gu Cheng met him alone in the reception room of the hive headquarters.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. John, how are you doing lately?"

In the face of Gu Cheng's warm and warm tone, Old Man John also replied in fluent Chinese: "Thank you for your good fortune, contemptible people are in good health, thank you for your care." ”

"Okay, please take a seat." Gu Cheng said with a smile, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal, this old man is a Hua Guotong, who has dealt with Chinese people for decades, and is one of the few people in North America who has an in-depth understanding of Chinese people.

Both sat down, and Gu Cheng asked casually, "Do you want tea or coffee?" ”

John: "Then ask for a cup of tea, thank you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng immediately signaled to the hostess, and after a while, the company's usher brought the tea, and there were only the two of them left in the reception room, and the old man John immediately said: "Mr. Gu, I will be blunt, this visit is for the moon-related matters." ”

Gu Cheng said casually: "You should have found the wrong door, you shouldn't come to Shangdu, you should go to the capital." ”

Old man John said quietly: "Can't be wrong, I came here this time in the name of commercial space cooperation, so of course I came to you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng was happy in his heart, Lao Mei paved the road first, but Tianqing Technology was the first to run on it and flew up, you say it's annoying.

Gu Cheng looked thoughtful: "What about commercial space cooperation...... I'm curious about what the cooperative method is? ”

John immediately said frankly: "They are all people all the way, and there is no one else here, so don't play any tricks, open the skylight and say something bright, old friend." This time I came to negotiate with you how the two sides secretly divided the moon. ”

“emmm……”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng didn't answer, and crossed Erlang's legs with a pensive expression.

Although the Americans have restarted the "Constellation Project" in a high-profile manner, it will not be able to go up at all for a while, and the first batch of teams of Tianqing Technology Group has passed, not to mention the limit of half a month back and forth, a steady little bit a month back and forth, that is not within the reach of North America.

The biggest reason for Old Man John's appearance here is the base on the far side of the moon, Lao Mei's satellite in lunar orbit photographed the scale of the base on Mendeleev's impact crater, good guy, I was frightened by Eagle Sauce, this trip to make the base so big, wouldn't it have to be expanded by one or twenty times in a year?

This made the Americans realize that even if everyone is in line with the principle of first-come, first-served, and grabbing the pit and occupying the territory, the speed will definitely not be able to grab Tianqing Technology.

If this trend continues, when they return to the moon, most of the moon will already be occupied by them.

Obviously, Eagle Sauce looked at this unfavorable situation, and since it couldn't stop the actual problem of Tianqing Technology from occupying a pit on the moon, it was simply put on the surface to negotiate.

……

(Ps: It's a change today, it's a little painful to have a cold and a broad brain, and I'll make it up tomorrow, I'm sorry~~)
