Chapter 144: Sample Testing
When the probe successfully landed and became a successful connection between the lunar rover and the earth's terminus, everyone cheered in the command center in Zhu Lei's fiefdom on the earth, because this meant that the first step of lunar exploration had been successfully taken.

After the excitement, the personnel controlling the lunar exploration rover first pointed the high-definition camera of the lunar exploration rover in the direction of the earth.
"Wow!! It's so beautiful! ”
"yes!"
Seeing the image sent back by the lunar exploration vehicle, whether it was the personnel of the space station in space, Zhu Lei, their command tower or the Daming center in the direction of the capital were stunned by this image, although everyone often saw all kinds of photos taken to the earth in space from the space station, but it was the first time to take pictures of the earth from such a distance.
The operator of the lunar exploration rover who came back to his senses began to re-devote himself to the work, the speed of the lunar exploration rover on the moon is very fast, in addition to manual operation, this lunar exploration rover also has a certain intelligence, can cope with emergencies, and can avoid obstacles, but now this intelligence is not very mature, so most of the work this time is still completed by manual operation, and the intelligent system is only used as an auxiliary role.
However, when the next landing on Mars, it will be completely dependent on the probe itself to work, after all, Mars and the Earth are so far away, manual operation is simply unrealistic, not to mention the delay is also a problem that cannot be restrained for the time being, unless the communication system has a huge leap to achieve real-time transmission and control, but this is still impossible to complete with the level of human science and technology.
The lunar exploration rover is driving quickly on the surface of the moon, whether it stops and uses the manipulator on the vehicle to collect samples on the moon, these samples collected in different places are placed in different containers and separated, which can be used to provide mineral and soil information for the construction of lunar bases and mining bases in the future.
After collecting for a while, the lunar exploration rover started the anti-gravity engine and flew to other parts of the moon and began to repeat the work, until the compartment of the lunar exploration rover like a truck was fully loaded, and then the anti-gravity engine was started, and then the plasma engine flew directly out of the surface of the moon and flew in the direction of the earth.
The speed of the probe flying back is much faster than the speed of going, but it took more than four hours to come back, after all, there is a distance of more than 380,000 kilometers to go.
When the probe returned to geostationary orbit, the Suzaku 2 aerospace vehicle was already waiting for him.
When the aircraft flew next to the probe, the roof of the aircraft flew open, and then the probe, which had already turned off the engine, was grabbed by a manipulator, and then retracted into the aircraft with the probe.
Then the Suzaku 2 aerospace vehicle started the plasma engine and flew in the direction of the earth, and this unmanned exploration activity lasted less than three days and was completed perfectly.
The Suzaku 2 vehicle soon landed on the runway on Zhu Lei's fiefdom, and then several small trucks were driven, and the staff wore special exoskeleton booster devices and began to load the soil and rock samples collected from the moon in the probe onto these small trucks, except for a small part that will remain here for Zhu Lei, the other samples will be transported to laboratories throughout the Ming Empire for testing.
And these samples have been packed into small boxes of 50 by 50 centimeters, the staff only need to move these boxes to these small trucks, and all the transportation of these boxes is the responsibility of active duty soldiers, and each small truck will also have a platoon of soldiers to transport these samples to ensure that these samples collected from the moon can be safely delivered to their destinations.
The samples left in Zhu Lei's fiefdom had long been moved to a special laboratory by the scientific research workers who were waiting anxiously.
After a few days of careful testing and testing, the laboratory in Zhu Lei's fiefdom was the first to obtain the elemental composition of these samples, although Zhu Lei had already known the material composition of the moon from Zhu Lei on the Internet in his previous life, but the people of this world still don't know, after all, the humans of this world have never reached the moon.
Even a lunar probe has never landed on the moon, so when the structure of the test came out, everyone's expressions were very exciting.
Based on the reports of these samples collected from the moon, the researchers speculated a lot of things, among which the results of the examination of lunar rocks show that the formation time of the moon should be about 4.6 billion years ago.
The results of this data are very important for human beings to understand the formation time of the Earth's home star, because it can basically be determined that the formation time of the Moon and the Earth is basically the same, and the world has always been outside the Earth before that, and the formation time of the Earth is earlier than that of the Moon.
Therefore, the appearance of this data completely overturns the hypothesis that Westerners have always existed in this world, because this world has not yet reached the moon, and it is impossible to collect samples on the moon for testing, so there is no theory of a big collision with Zhu Lei's previous life.
And because there is no theory of the big collision, so up to now, the world has been imagining the formation time of the earth, and there is no real and reliable data to prove it.
Although there have been previous speculations that the formation of the Earth and the Moon must have been related, most scholars believe that this speculation is just grandstanding because there is no real data to support it.
It happened to be a scholar of the Ming Dynasty who put forward this hypothesis, but even the scientists of the Ming Dynasty did not believe this scholar's speculation.
But now that the data of the lunar samples have come out, there is only one important piece of evidence for this speculation put forward by this scholar, and it can be said that as long as this data is released, it will definitely cause a shock in the scientific community.
Therefore, for the question of the time of the formation of the moon, and the age detection data of these moon rock samples, Zhu Lei is not going to hide it, but is preparing to make it public tomorrow.
After all, so many samples have been collected this time, and many research laboratories in China have obtained these samples, so it is still difficult to keep them secret, but Zhu Lei believes that these research institutes will not make them public, after all, the research laboratories that can get the moon rock samples are all confidential research laboratories in some countries, and it is very clear what can be disclosed and those that cannot be disclosed.
Even if a foreign spy gets these confidential data, Zhu Lei will not be afraid, after all, the Ming Empire has taken a big advantage now.
