Chapter 367: Lunar Prospecting

The moon forward base, which is now brightly lit, represents the arrival of working hours.

One rotation of the Moon takes the same amount of time as one rotation around the Earth.

This is also the reason why the moon has only one side and is always facing the earth.

It is precisely because of the slow rotation of the moon that it is impossible for people to mark the time of the moon's rotation as days.

Only the standard schedule of the earth can be used, and when the sun is not visiting, the day and night can be displayed through light control.

At the moon advance base, Peng Feng, the captain of the seventh exploration team, shouted in his rough voice like a broken gong: "Brothers, hurry up and eat, we will go to work in a while."

Wang Zhihua ate braised pork and fish, and said indignantly: "When I applied for the astronaut exam, I originally thought that I could practice spacewalking and repair the space station like my predecessors.

I was sent to the moon, and I was even happier that I thought I had a chance to make a difference.

As a result, I was assigned to the prospecting group, and every day was prospecting, boring work, and I couldn't realize my ideal at all. ”

Peng Feng looked at their nine-member prospecting team, and Wang Zhihua was a literary and artistic young man, chattering all day long, and doing things the most abrasively.

He once again tirelessly said: "This is not repetitive work, we are repetitive labor for intelligent robots to repeat their work day after day."

We flew engineering mechs to various parts of the moon in order to detect high-value mineral veins.

Our work is very important, and the specimens we collect provide sufficient evidence for scientists.

Only then can they determine which part of the moon has very rich mineral veins, and then they can mobilize intelligent robots to mine in this place. ”

Wang Zhihua said with a sigh: "I feel that this work is not important, and it is not even as important as intelligent robots."

They mine resources such as helium-3 and can also collect enough physical minerals.

We've explored more than 100 geographies now, and we've found no valuable resources at all.

The mineral resources satellites over the moon and the probes carried by the space shuttle have clearly explored most of the moon's resources, and we are now doing useless work. ”

Peng Feng said confidently: "Wang Zhihua, don't be discouraged, you must believe in the value of our work.

Resource satellites and space shuttles, which are nothing more than mineral resources that have been explored on the surface of the moon.

They are also familiar with the lunar mineral resources, such as helium-3 rich places, veins containing metals such as lithium, iron, and copper.

Some of the minerals that may be unique to the moon have no information in their databases and must be explored manually.

As long as we find a valuable mineral resource, our work is not in vain. ”

Peng Feng's prospecting team would have such discussions almost every once in a while, mainly to unify their thinking, and the members encouraged each other.

The quality of the astronauts is very high, and it is completely ideal to come to the moon to advance to the base.

The wages here are high, but the dangers and difficulties of the work are also very high.

It's not hard for them to get back to Earth, drive a sky train, or find other high-paying jobs.

Supporting them to work at the lunar advance base, the ideal occupies a very important position.

Without ideal support, it is really difficult for ordinary people to survive in the lunar advance base.

Compared to the earth, it is a primitive society, not even as good as some small tribes in Africa.

After they finished breakfast, they went to the warehouse of the engineering mecha.

Before preparing to board the engineering mecha, Peng Feng handed out 15 capsules in special bottles to each person.

"Some time ago, a colleague died, and you all learned about it.

The company has not given up on us, Tao Shengwen scientist of the Spark Science and Technology Research Institute, Cell Laboratory.

He developed this life-sustaining capsule that can directly allow us to survive for 15 days without water, oxygen, and fasting.

It doesn't take 15 days, you only need to wait for an hour, and if there is an accident in any corner of the moon, the lunar advance base can send people to the scene to rescue. ”

Peng Feng's prospecting team, piloting the engineering mecha, flew to the place where they were going to explore.

Peng Feng piloted the engineering mecha to take off, and he saw the stout building in the center of the moon advance base.

This is the most central device of the lunar advance base, a controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

It generates a huge amount of electrical energy to supply the consumption of the moon's forward base.

The electricity generated by a controlled nuclear fusion reactor would be more than enough to supply the moon if it were a hundredfold larger than the lunar advance base.

The prospecting team flew towards a crater on the far side of the moon.

Wang Zhihua saw that the moon was covered with dense intelligent robots, which seemed to be transiting to locusts, collecting lunar soil on the surface of the moon.

Looking at their trend, these intelligent robots will not stop working without collecting all the lunar soil on the surface of the moon.

Wang Zhihua complained in the communication channel: "You Xinghuo Technology is really poor, as for this? This is to repurify the lunar soil on the moon. ”

Peng Feng didn't know how Wang Zhihua could ask such a naΓ―ve question?

He still expressed his opinion, saying: "I think this is the right choice, national competition has always been the law of the jungle."

If we get through a road, we should find a way to block it so that no one else can get through it again.

Lunar soil is very rich in helium-3, and in addition to helium-3, many rich mineral resources can also be extracted.

The extracted lunar soil can also be made into hollow bricks, which are used to build buildings on the moon.

With the advent of controlled nuclear fusion reactors, helium-3 is more important than previous oil, and it is the lifeblood of many countries.

As you can imagine, more than 95% of the world's oil is in the hands of a single big country, and the results are terrible.

Other countries do not have helium-3 available, so they can only develop more risky deuterium-tritium fusion reactors.

We're building technology leadership for future generations. ”

Peng Feng led the prospecting team to the destination, and they began to control the engineering mecha to carry out prospecting work.

The Earth's crust is very hard, and the engineering mecha uses a high-frequency cutter to drill a round hole with a diameter of half a meter in the moon's crust.

They will earn a depth of more than 20 kilometers underground, which is already the limit of what they can now mine veins on the moon.

The specimens of the lunar crust rock formations obtained by the Peng Feng prospecting team will be sent to the lunar base to the laboratory, and scientists will analyze it.

The specimens are also sent to Earth for a thorough analysis by geoscientists of the rock formations of the lunar crust.

Peng Feng's prospecting team has a very simple job, but they must not make the slightest mistake, and at the same time, they must mark the accurate information of the specimens.

There must be no mistakes in the information of the specimens, and errors in the original material will not give even the most advanced scientists.

Scientists still don't know about the lunar crust, and the prospecting team led by Peng Feng can only follow a stupid method to sample the lunar crust at intervals.
