Chapter 515: Explosives Factory
Caught a pyramid scheme gang, it turned out to be the Moon Empire's fan group, and then the people were still the official fan group supported by the Moon Empire, which was embarrassing.
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and it is a bit unreasonable to say that the front foot just hooked up with the Moon Empire, and then turned his head to arrest someone's younger brother. In the end, this matter was pushed back and forth, or it was pushed into the hands of the secret service, who let them deal with Lao Hei all the time.
When he saw the report, Liu Huaiyi couldn't help but sigh, "The secret service department is to wipe your ass for a hundred years without wavering!" ”
The third group of colonists sent to the moon, and Enterprise turned around and flew to the south pole of the moon, landing in a crater that had been selected for a long time. When it was confirmed that there was indeed ice under the crater, the Enterprise disintegrated on the spot and began to build the second crater base according to the model of the Galactica.
At the same time, a cargo space shuttle took off from the No. 1 crater base and flew non-stop to the Great Yuan Empire under the eyes of the people of the world. The cargo shuttle was loaded with five tons of helium-three as part of an agreement between the Moon Empire and the Great Yuan Empire.
Even if the Great Yuan Empire immediately converted all its energy consumption to nuclear fusion, these five tons of helium-three would be enough for the Great Yuan Empire to use for a year. These five tons of helium-3 can allow the Great Yuan Empire to initially start nuclear fusion technology, use nuclear fusion technology to transform the existing industrial system, and form a preliminary technical foundation.
For the Great Yuan Empire, the most critical value of these helium three is to experiment with nuclear fusion space engines, and once this difficulty is overcome, the Great Yuan Empire's creation of its own space warship will immediately be put on the agenda.
The carrying capacity provided by traditional chemical fuel rocket technology is really limited, and it often takes hundreds of tons of fuel to send one ton of material to the moon. This greatly limits the carrying capacity of the space shuttle, and even more so the size of the spacecraft.
Once there are fusion engines, it will be possible to build giant spacecraft, and it will be difficult to build tens of millions of tons of space warships like the Galactica and Enterprise, as long as there is enough power to build a spacecraft the size of an aircraft carrier.
According to Li Menghua's prediction, as long as this kind of spacecraft is successfully developed, the Great Yuan Empire will completely open the aerospace age, and you can almost play casually in the solar system.
As long as this is achieved, if you want to collect helium-three, you don't need to compete with the Moon Empire for the reserves on the moon, and you can collect it directly on Mercury, which has much higher helium-three reserves than the moon.
When the five tons of helium arrived, the Great Yuan Empire was not ambiguous, and immediately transferred the relevant technology specified in the agreement to the Moon Empire. The technology was transferred to the 1st crater base, where it was immediately handed over to the various industrial groups that had already been prepared.
The task of these industrial groups is to thoroughly understand all these technologies and transform them into biological civilization technologies. All production processes can be biologicalized as much as possible, and a very small number of production steps that cannot be biologicalized follow the methods of scientific and technological civilization.
While transforming these technologies, Base 2 will gradually develop into an industrial base while being built, and its main products will be military products, which will become the weapons production base of the Moon Empire.
The current Moon Empire is actually running naked, except that it is on the moon to make the distance a moat, it does not have much military equipment of its own, and the Galactica and Enterprise are looking bluffing, that is, a paper tiger, a standard broiler, with no attack ability at all.
It is also because it is now in a period of peace, and the nerves of various countries are not so sensitive, otherwise, if any country is nervous and directly greets a missile regardless of 3721, the space warship will leak its essence at that time.
Therefore, Meng Yang was very concerned about the situation of technical analysis, when the Moon Empire would be able to have its own weapons, and when would it be considered truly safe.
Meng Yang personally participated in solving several key problems that allowed the chemical team to successfully realize the biological production of explosives.
Solving the main biochemical reaction process, the selection of the form after biochemistry is more arbitrary, in order to facilitate production and management, Meng Yang chose the form of grapevines.
The dynamite vine is rooted in a culture medium that constantly transports ammonia, carbon dioxide and water to the dynamite vine, which uses its well-developed root system to suck these materials into the leaves, where they are combined into individual explosive molecules using light energy.
These explosive molecules are sent to the place where the grapes should be grown, where there are no grapes, but a peculiar small tubular structure, where the explosive molecules solidify into tiny particles, and these particles the size of coarse sand will automatically fall off and fall off once they are grown, and the next thing to do is to sweep up these explosive particles every day and pack them away.
These produced explosive particles are the final form, and they are directly packed into bullet casings, shells, and missile warheads without any processing.
There is more than one kind of ammunition, the performance is different, there are explosives, there are propellants, there are detonating charges, according to the characteristics and uses of different explosives, with grapevines as the basic form, the dynamite vines for different explosives are designed.
After the design of these explosive vines was completed, they immediately began to be planted on a large scale in the second base, and the concentration of hundreds of hectares of explosive vines was spectacular.
Thousands of dynamite vines are planted on a kilometer-long trench with ammonium carbonate solution, which is constantly sucked up by the roots that cover the entire trench and sent to the dense leaves of the dynamite vine.
On both sides of the trenches, verdant explosive vines climb and wind on three-meter-high supports until they extend for hundreds of meters, and more than a dozen trenches are lined up side by side to form the explosives factory in Base 2.
Driverless sweepers are busy under the dense foliage of the dynamite vines, sucking the explosive particles scattered on the ground into the body, and when the body is full, they will automatically go to the warehouse and dump the explosive particles in the body into the mouth of the packaging worm.
The packaging worm swallows the explosive particles, secretes a rapidly curing packaging box, and excretes the explosive particles from the body, and several biological forklifts near its ass are constantly busy, transporting the produced explosive boxes and sending them to the warehouse for storage.
With the continuous transformation of munitions technology, a unique biochemical plant has been established, which uses a large number of biochemical machinery at the beginning of the design, and these production equipment with basic intelligence is not only accurate and error-prone, but also has a certain intelligence, which can flexibly solve common problems and ensure that the entire production chain is always in a flexible and elastic state.
The most important thing is that such a large factory does not need to consume manpower at all, as long as there is a person on duty remotely, it is enough to solve some unexpected difficult problems. With it, Meng Yang even only needed to find someone on the earth to keep an eye on, and he could continuously produce a large number of explosives.
