July 26, 2029, after almost three months of space journey. The Endeavour spacecraft arrives at the lunar spaceport.

As one of the major shareholders of the Lunar Spaceport, Zhou Yu decided to inspect the Lunar Spaceport for a period of time.

The Endeavour spacecraft returned to Earth carrying scientists and unknown life discovered on Ceres.

Unknown life on Ceres is very fragile and needs to be transferred to an advanced laboratory on Earth as soon as possible for preservation.

Its existence plays an important role in the study of the origin of carbon-based life, and it is also the first time that humans have discovered life-active cells outside the earth.

Its role in biological science is indescribable, and it marks the official extension of the scope of biological science to the universe.

Zhou Yu led a part of the people to stay in the lunar spaceport, and he watched the Endeavour spacecraft leave.

They take a small spacecraft that resembles a flying car and experience life in a lunar spaceport.

The lunar spaceport is very busy, it is the only spaceport on the moon.

Now that China has developed the moon to a deep extent, major aerospace companies no longer fly their own space shuttles to and from the earth and the moon.

The lunar spaceport and the Bohai spaceport have special traffic routes.

Xinghuo Technology launched a dedicated cargo space shuttle and a passenger space shuttle.

They travel back and forth between the Earth and the Moon on a regular basis, delivering a steady stream of supplies and personnel to the Moon.

The lunar spaceport is also the largest cargo distribution center and human resource deployment center on the moon.

Some traders buy supplies at lunar spaceports and send them to expeditions around the moon.

Space companies that have already established lunar bases also come to the lunar spaceport to purchase necessary supplies and recruit staff.

Zhou Yu came to the material distribution center of the lunar spaceport.

The materials that the Earth sends to the Moon are mainly industrial goods and food.

Only a small number of industrial goods can be produced here on the moon, such as some basic machinery and intelligent robots.

The parts and components needed for the space shuttle, intelligent mining robots, quantum computers and other high-precision equipment cannot be produced here on the moon, and can only be supplied by the earth.

Industrial goods are not the largest commodities sent from the Earth to the Moon, but food and fresh water are the largest commodities sent from the Moon to the Earth.

Human survival is inseparable from food, water and air.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an air self-circulation system, which only needs a small amount of compressed oxygen, and the air self-circulation system can continuously convert oxygen and carbon dioxide.

A man on the moon only needs a small tank of compressed oxygen, and he can use it for a long time.

Water can be recycled to a certain extent, and 95% of water can be recycled through water purification technology and water ecological recycling.

But as the population on the moon increases, so does the total amount of water they need, but there are basically no reserves of water on the moon.

The planets around the earth have not found a huge amount of water resources, and can only rely on the earth to transport water resources.

The earth's desalination water reserves are abundant, and only 5 cents per ton.

This price is still the price of Huayuan after continuous inflation.

The main cost of transporting fresh water from the earth to the lunar spaceport is freight, and its wholesale price is as high as 200 yuan per ton.

The most material that the Earth sends to the Moon is food.

There is no agriculture on the moon at all, and basically all food needs to be transported by the earth.

The space plants that Xinghuo Technology is experimenting with, they have passed safety tests, but they are still far from being truly practical.

The technology and cost required for the cultivation of space plants are very high, and a systematic breeding program has not yet been formed, and it is only in the experimental stage.

The bulk commodities sent from the moon to the earth are mainly various materials for preliminary purification.

These materials are mainly metallic, but also include many materials that are unique to the moon.

The moon has now become a veritable material processing plant.

There are a number of metal space smelters around the lunar orbit that smelt ore mined on the moon and ore collected from the asteroid belt.

In addition to providing metal materials and the most well-known energy material helium-3, the moon can also provide tens of thousands of materials such as special glass materials, semiconductor materials, and high-density materials.

The moon is in the overall industrial layout of the solar system, and it is a material processing center.

The moon is responsible for the initial processing of mineral resources collected by people in space into various raw materials.

These raw materials are transported to the earth and turned into a wide variety of industrial products.

The natural environment of the moon is not suitable for most industrial industries. There is no problem in specializing in the material processing industry.

Zhou Yu inspected the material distribution center for a period of time to understand the needs of the explorers at the bottom of the moon.

He left the material distribution center and went to the human resources center next to it.

Not many people come to the moon, but there are thousands of people every day.

The people who came to work on the moon in China had similar reasons as their predecessors who made similar decisions in ancient times.

As in the Age of Discovery, the explorers who were the first to act were driven by profit.

Most of the immigrants who come with the tide are people who can't survive and are ready to fight.

Now there are only two kinds of people who come to work on the moon.

One is to be hired by aerospace companies with high salaries, and experts are indispensable in the relevant industrial chain. They only account for a very small share of the total population.

The vast majority of people are not living well on Earth.

The old industries they work in are being hit by new technologies such as intelligent robots and quantum computers, and bankrupts who cannot adapt to the new industries.

They receive only a small amount of unemployment benefits, which is enough to survive the basics.

They may choose a job that is both hard and does not pay well.

When Lunar Space hires workers with high salaries, they certainly can't turn down the job.

Zhou Yu looked at the treatment of ordinary workers recruited by the Moon Space Company.

These companies are all treated similarly, and the bigger ones have better benefits.

The most ordinary worker works on the moon, and his monthly salary is between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan.

Aerospace companies provide the most basic free accommodation, meals and medical care.

They can only get a salary of about 3,000 a month on Earth, but the same job on the moon can increase the salary by 5 times.

This is the most important reason why many people choose to work on the moon.

Working on the moon is not difficult, as long as it is a regular space company, the safety of workers is also guaranteed.

The only difficulty these workers have to overcome is loneliness and boredom.

Working on the moon is basically all year round, and there are basically no recreational activities.

The most important thing is that the ratio of men to women on the moon is very large, and it has reached the level of 1000:1.

A man who comes to work on the moon basically doesn't want to find a girlfriend during his work.

Zhou Yu inspected the lunar spaceport and, based on his observations, put forward suggestions for rectification to the lunar spaceport management agency.

On August 2, he left the moon on a spacecraft that returned to Earth from the lunar spaceport to end the space activity.
