In the large conference room of the lunar base, the employees of the trade department were reporting: "The first round of space tourism is successfully over, and after the statistics of the trade department, the profit exceeds 130 million. ”

"After the publicity of the returning guests, the space tourism business of the East Galaxy Company has been completely launched, and the number of people who have been consulted through the Internet has exceeded 100,000 for the first time, and the number of people who have signed up to join the queue is 271."

"There are a number of media outlets looking forward to interviews, as well as companies including SpaceX, Virgin International, which are pioneers in the field of space tourism, and other companies have thrown olive branches to us and hope for in-depth cooperation."

The above report is still ongoing: "Our plan for next month is to receive the second batch of guests, and we expect to add further related equipment and facilities, including more moon-by-month spacecraft, roads from the port to the hotel, safety fences and emergency huts at various tourist attractions, etc., to ensure a perfect sightseeing experience." ”

After the report of the trade department, the employees of the other departments below couldn't help but show envy, thinking that if they had joined the trade department, they would have been able to mix with the wind and water now.

"Isn't it just space tourism? Our goal is to conquer the sea of stars, and such small things are really not important. An employee whispered, revealing the psychology of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour.

"Humph! You can do it, you can try it. There happened to be an employee of the trading department next to him, and the two knew each other before, but because they heard that their department was underestimated, they hurriedly retorted.

While the two were arguing, it was the turn of the research department to report on the stage. In this month, led by Professor Russell and inspired by Cao Chuan, the results of the research department are not as beautiful as those of the trade department, and many breakthroughs have been completed piecemeal, which seem very small to many, or even very detailed, in order to solve them in history, they have made scientists pay a huge price and will quietly change their lives.

"In terms of adapting to alien life, the research department has preliminarily sorted out a set of conditioning methods, through specific physical exercises, as well as regular medication, to ensure that life on the moon will not lead to deterioration of health, but in the future, we will find ways to solve the problem more conveniently through the improvement of dietary structure."

"In terms of exploring the manufacture of spacesuits, considering the good logistics environment of the moon, after streamlining the redundant life-supporting devices and jet devices, the research department has designed a set of lightweight protective clothing weighing only 40 kilograms and a thickness of no more than 3 cm, which will greatly facilitate your work."

After the two major outstanding advances, there are some small things.

"A new cleaning robot has been added to keep the environment clean and tidy throughout the base."

"The new lunar transport vehicle, with a rated cargo capacity of 80 tons, can facilitate the handling of various materials."

"A new lunar off-road vehicle, carrying 4 people, with a maximum speed of 150 km/h, will be launched in conjunction with the space tourism program."

"The new camping tent is made of composite materials, with an internal space of 8 cubic meters, and it is launched with space tourism technology."

"With the addition of large cooking equipment, it will be more efficient to process food."

"With the addition of grain harvesting equipment, harvesting mature crops will be more efficient."

"The separation tower was added, and the crystallization equipment was used for the production of chemical products."

"Add petri dishes, cold rooms, greenhouses for the production of biological products."

……

After listening to the report of the research department, many people nodded their heads, thinking that it is no wonder that the monotonous life of the lunar base has become a little different these days, and the research department has made a lot of contributions.

Finally, it is the turn of the exploration department, and it has to be said that the number one department within the East Galaxy Company has performed poorly in the past month, and the original lunar exploration program has encountered serious bottlenecks.

Their original plan was to conduct a more thorough survey of the Jinghai in the north of the lunar base and the Iba Valley in the south, covering an area of more than hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

According to scientists' speculation, and the results of the mining truck's work so far, there will be a larger-scale distribution of various mineral deposits in both areas, as well as rare metal deposits that have not been discovered so far.

But the problem is that even according to the existing map of the lunar surface, combined with the conclusions of scientists from previous unmanned lunar landing vehicles, they still have no way to carry out their desired exploration plan, and they have encountered countless problems.

The problems they encountered were mainly concentrated in the following aspects:

First of all, the range of activities is limited, and it can only be carried out with the lunar base as the center, and to the farther places, there is neither a road network extending in all directions, nor is it in the forbidden area of life, and there is no local material supply, and the time to explore each time is quite limited.

Secondly, there are all kinds of accidents, such as underground cracks that cause someone to fall, off-road vehicle breakdowns that cause breakdowns, planning mistakes that lead to accidentally entering the sunshine zone, and facing direct sunlight of 100 degrees Celsius.

The third is the detection method. The geological structure of Jinghai and Yibagu is completely different from that on the earth, so the specific form, location, depth, and thickness of the mineral deposits they want to find are vague and ambiguous, and they cannot directly copy the traditional geological theories on the earth.

When the exploratory department threw the problem out, the employees present realized that they were facing such a practical problem. Although there is competition between departments, they don't really want to explore the department, and if they find that they are rich in rare earths, superheavy elements, etc., won't it be beneficial for them? Therefore, they all hope that the exploratory department will solve the problem as soon as possible and get on the right track. The first two problems are easy to solve, such as finding a way to build a temporary camp and expand the scope of exploration; Prepare more exploration equipment, such as repair tools, rescue equipment, etc., to prevent accidents. In the latter one, looking at the development of geogeology-related theories, we will find that this science and technology, which is entirely centered on studying the surrounding world, is entirely based on the accumulation of experience, and countless data accumulations can lead to conclusions, and then the conclusions are verified and applied. Now that we are on the moon, do we have to accumulate countless data to gain experience? By then, at least years from now, right?

Therefore, even if it is a collection of everyone's wisdom, how to solve the third problem, whether it is the exploration department or other employees, is at a loss for the time being.
