Chapter 289: The Dilemma of the Moon Base

In 2020, the Republic launched the Chang'e-6 lunar exploration probe, and the Yutu lunar rover has landed near the Pyrrhic crater, located at the pole of the moon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The axis of rotation of the Moon is almost perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun with the Earth. The Pirry crater, located near the North Pole, receives sunlight all year round, and the temperature fluctuation in this area is quite small, about 20 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature is about 50 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal place to settle.

In the early years, this location was considered by human lunar exploration satellites to be the best place for human lunar base construction, but for technical reasons, a lander never landed here.

After a year of observation and monitoring by the Yutu lunar rover, the annual sunshine rate in the central plain of the Pirry crater is 99.87%, the average accurate temperature of the whole year is 46.78 degrees, the highest temperature is 67 degrees, and the lowest temperature is 23 degrees, which is the most suitable place for human habitation on the moon so far.

The moon is a common resource of mankind, just like the original Age of Discovery, whoever discovers it first, lands first, and occupies it first.

When the United States abandons the lunar program to focus on the Mars program, the moon is completely a window period, and this window period will be filled by the republic.

At the headquarters of the Lunar Exploration Center of the Imperial Republic.

The top experts in space, power, biology and other fields in the entire republic are concentrated here.

Shen Huai was also listed, he sipped tea and watched the PPT commentary on the big screen, Chaos Creatures will participate in this lunar base construction plan.

Although the bastard creature also has its own space plan, it only stays on paper and does not put it into practice, this time asking Shen Huai to participate in such a heavyweight meeting, Shen Huai's reaction is - stunned.

"We decided to build the first lunar base for mankind in the Pirry crater." Ouyang Yue, chief engineer of the lunar exploration project, said in high spirits: "Our lunar exploration rover is the first lunar rover to arrive here, and it is also the first place to explore the crater!" ”

Ouyang was emotional, "Our goal is to build a 2,000-square-meter permanent lunar base by 2025.

The first one is water! Although we have great illusions that there is indeed water or watery groundbreaking layers on the moon at the polar regions, we are sorry to tell you that from Chang'e-1 to Chang'e-6, we have confirmed the fact that the moon does not have any water resources.

The water of the permanent lunar base can only be replenished by the earth, and we will ensure the recycling of water resources in the laboratory through the atmospheric condensate regeneration system, urine reception and storage system, carbon dioxide removal system, harmful microparticle purification system, etc., so far our maximum recycling rate of water is 80%, that is, for every 100 tons of water consumed, we will recycle 80 tons again, this is without considering the use of water electrolysis to produce oxygen.

I'll talk about the second and third ones, oxygen and food! The lunar base needs enough oxygen, but if the electrolysis of water from the space station is used to produce oxygen, this is not only a problem of high long-term cost, but also directly consumes limited water resources, so in order to ensure the long-term autonomous length of oxygen, we initially consider the establishment of an energy storage warehouse, and Innova will also produce energy blocks necessary for human beings in the process of producing oxygen, which will also improve the utilization rate of water resources. ”

Ouyang said, and glanced at Shen Huai, who was in front of his seat with a blank face.

Ouyang paused, thinking that Shen Huai would say something, but how did he know that this kid was in a daze......

Ouyang coughed lightly twice, broke the embarrassment, and continued: "The Republic's decision to establish a permanent base on the moon is well thought out, and our eyes are not just on the moon, but on Mars and even more distant galaxies.

In our planning, the lunar base will complete some human survival experiments, laying the foundation for us to enter deeper and farther space! The moon also has a unique geographical advantage, in the future we will launch deep space probes on the moon base, the time window for launching on the moon will be very long, and the cost will be about one-third of the earth. ”

After Ouyang finished speaking, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Huai, because two of the three dilemmas for establishing a lunar base were related to Shen Huai.

One of the most mentioned technologies is Ino!

Everyone was waiting for Shen Huai to speak, but Shen Huai still had nothing to do and tasted tea, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

This time, the scientific research meeting of landing on the moon to establish a permanent base on the moon asked Shen Huai to participate, and the first party to let Shen Huai sit in the seat gave Shen Huai enough face, because they couldn't think of a better way to protect the life system than Ino!

Without Eno, it would be impossible to rely on the 2,000-square-meter lunar base to form a complete biological chain and produce enough food for human survival, and if it were not for the birth of Ino, the human plan to establish a lunar base might not be realized in a few decades.

This project requires the participation of Chaos creatures.

Ouyang couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Shen, what suggestions do you have for this seminar?" ”

Shen Huai took a sip of tea and said slowly: "What is the number of staff on the permanent lunar base established this time?" What is the average number of working hours per group of staff? ”

Ouyang said: "The 2,000-square-meter lunar base will have 20 scientific and technological workers working on it for a long time, and the preliminary design is that the work cycle of each worker is one to one and a half years.

As for the issue of water, our launch vehicle will be launched 4 or 5 times in the early stage, providing about 23 tons of water for the base, that is, it can be used by 20 people for a year. According to the utilization of 80% plus other losses, we will replenish about 10 tons of drinking water for the base once or twice a year, so as to solve the problem of drinking water. ”

Shen Huai stood up, walked to the front of the stage, returned the PPT to the second and third, and said: "Since the water problem has been solved, there are actually better solutions to the second and third problems. ”

Shen Huai said: "Chaos creatures have developed the latest Innova three years ago, after Eno is transplanted into the human body, under sufficient light, as long as the supply of Eno water and culture liquid is guaranteed, Innova will continue to provide energy and oxygen for humans!" This technology has been applied to the intelligent creatures A of the chaotic creatures. We can provide the latest Innova technology to the scientists who stay on the base, which solves the problem of oxygen and food. ”

Shen Huai faced everyone and said with a smile: "Every time you replenish water to the base, just add a certain amount of carbon dioxide!" ”

Shen Huai looked at the pattern of the symbol of the Republic of China landing on the moon, and his eyes were on a more distant place - Mars! There is an atmosphere full of carbon dioxide there.
