Chapter 475: Pyramid on the Moon

Meng Yang didn't delay for a second, he directly clicked on the network and sent it, anyway, the dark web can't be traced, it's basically about the same as anonymous posting, as long as there is no personal information left on the published website, the gods can't find the photo publisher.

Meng Yang's photo didn't cause any reaction when it was just posted, only a few views, and everyone hurriedly glanced at it and found that it was a few space photos, and they threw it away after two glances.

After sending the photos, Meng Yang commanded Sputnik-1 to start scanning the entire moon to build a complete map of the moon for himself, and at the same time to make a basic survey of the moon to see what mineral deposits are on it, and maybe when it can be used.

Sputnik-1 flew several times around the moon and quickly completed the surveying and mapping work, and a large amount of remote sensing data was transmitted to Dr. Octopus for data processing.

Then Sputnik-1 landed on the surface of the moon, the target was a small plain in the Jinghai Sea, in the surrounding dead silence, the tail flame hit the dust in the sky, and Sputnik-1 shook lightly and landed steadily on the surface of the moon.

Standing on the moon and looking at the world again, it feels completely different. This is an eternal desolation, a world that has been lonely for billions of years, surrounded by lifelessness, and without the rotation of the stars overhead, there will be no trace of the passage of time, and everything will continue untouched until the point of time.

Overhead, the earth hung high, and in the distance was the scorching and fierce sun. The surrounding space is filled with the unbridled solar wind, and cosmic radiation washes everything over at all times.

Looking around through the eyes of Satellite 1, Meng Yang felt the preciousness of the earth for the first time, the entire solar system, in the vast and vast space, only the earth has the temperature of life, and only the earth has the diversity of life.

In all other places, there will be no difference between a billion years ago and a billion years later, and even a pile of small pebbles built together can stand silently for billions of years.

In the extraterrestrial world, the death is desperately silent, and it is absolutely unfriendly to life - only when you leave the earth can you understand the preciousness of the earth!

Sputnik-1 changed its form, from a space shuttle to a giant spider, with a slight bend of eight legs, the spider rose lightly, drawing a huge arc up to hundreds of meters, and slowly fell into the distance.

After crossing a distance of hundreds of meters in a single jump, Sputnik-1 landed and bounced up again, traveling on the surface of the moon in this unique way of traveling.

Sputnik-1 stops infrequently to collect a bit of rock and a sudden sample, repeating its journey again.

Although the Sputnik-1 lunar exploration was an impulse of Meng Yangxing, there are still some tasks that need to be completed, such as elemental analysis of lunar soil, preliminary exploration of mineral deposits, lunar helium soil extraction experiments, and so on.

There is a very key resource on the moon, that is, helium-3, which is generated on the sun, scattered on the surface of the moon by the solar wind, and adsorbed by the lunar soil.

Helium III is a perfect raw material for nuclear fusion, and there will be no nuclear contamination and no radioactivity when used for nuclear fusion, which is key for Meng Yang, who has nuclear fusion technology.

Although the current cold nuclear fusion cavity is not seriously polluted, it is still polluted after all, and it does not matter if it is used in small quantities and small amounts of power. In the future, it is inevitable to have a high-power fusion cavity, if the fusion cavity is popularized, pollution is a big problem, after all, it is nuclear pollution, and the environmental residue can reach hundreds of years.

Sputnik-1 creates an extraction chamber in the body to experiment with how to extract helium-3 from the soil. There have long been discussions and hypotheses about this technology on the earth, and Meng Yang directly used it to experiment to see which way was the best.

Helium III is adsorbed in the form of a gas inside the porous lunar soil void, the content is very low, and it is very troublesome to extract it.

Meng Yang tried them one by one, and the heating method required heating the lunar soil to more than 1,000 degrees; The replacement mode is to squeeze helium-3 by ionizing other gases such as hydrogen and oxygen, and squeeze helium-3 out of the surface of the adsorbate. On the whole, it is still the best mode of crowding, and the efficiency is the highest.

The method was found, Meng Yang tried to extract it, and under his control, Sputnik-1 began to transform, its spider legs retracted into its body and disappeared, and its entire body slowly elongated, turning into a flat worm, like a leech swimming in the water.

The size of the satellite 1 is even more exaggerated, it has become very flat, very wide, the thickness of the whole body is about 20 centimeters, but the width is more than 30 meters, the length of the body is only four or five meters, its front is a large mouth of more than 30 meters long with the same width as the body, the tail is the same width of the excretion port, the sides and the abdomen are densely packed with small and slender feet, this strange body shape is specially prepared for the extraction of helium three.

When the transformation is complete, Sputnik-1 chooses a flat, rock-free and dusty plain, opens its mouth, shovels down, and its entire chin is submerged in the soil.

Propelled by countless tiny feet, Sputnik-1 is like a harvester, scooping up ten-centimeter-thick lunar soil with its jaw, swallowing it into its belly, and the lunar soil enters the body and is transported along the body cavity to the back end.

At this time, a large amount of ionized hydrogen and oxygen emerge from the inner wall of the body cavity, and these gases pour into the lunar soil, driving out the various gases adsorbed by the lunar soil and being sucked away.

As the lunar soil is slowly transported in the body cavity, the adsorbed gas is replaced step by step, and the replacement is repeated again and again, so that most of the gas adsorbed by the lunar soil is squeezed out and turned into ionized hydrogen and oxygen.

The sucked gas is sent to the gas separation chamber, where it is separated one by one, the useful gas is left for reuse, the useless gas is directly discharged from the body, and the helium-3 is collected and stored together.

In this way, the front of Satellite 1 kept eating, and the back kept pulling, and as it continued to advance, a road more than 30 meters wide was slowly extending.

Sputnik-1 used its own body to extract all the lunar soil more than 30 meters wide, took away helium-3, and returned the rest to the moon untouched.

More than an hour later, Sputnik-1 traveled a full kilometer distance and extracted about two kilograms of helium-3.

Although it is only two kilograms, Meng Yang is already very happy, which means that the method of extracting helium-3 in batches is feasible. According to the energy release of nuclear fusion, these two kilograms of helium-3 can provide nearly 40,000 tons of energy for the complete combustion of standard coal, which is enough energy for Sputnik-1 to run between the moon and the earth countless times.

Meng Yang then made some fine-tuning to further improve the extraction efficiency. When Sputnik-1 worked diligently on the surface of the moon and extracted nearly a ton of helium-3, Doctor Octopus's communication suddenly came in.
