After getting the encryption terminal, Ye Ming also ended his nominal "vacation" and returned to the preparations for the return of the Invitation Yue.

However, the fact that the Vibo encryption terminal has been completed does not mean that truly universal over-distance communication can be achieved - he still lacks a system that can allow Aita to interfere with the terminal.

For example, he can now build a "wireless network card", but he can't build a "router". And this "wireless network card" can only be connected to another "router" that cannot be seen or touched.

However, Ye Ming is not discouraged, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, now that Yin Ta can interfere with the real circuit, he can already complete enough operations - he secretly stuffed a robot equipped with a Weibo interference terminal into the spaceship, if there is any danger, just let Yin Ta control the robot to take over the spaceship system......

What a big deal!

What's more, he also has a general idea - he can't make a router, can't he get dual network card interconnection?

……

In late June, Ye Ming left Yin Ta in the provincial diplomatic area, and he went to Jiangcheng to meet with the team responsible for the design of the helium-3 fusion reactor before returning to Xichang.

After returning to Xichang, the good news kept coming.

First of all, in a month, the geological team basically explored all the helium-3-rich areas within a radius of several hundred miles, and gave a detailed map of the distribution of mining areas.

During this time, they also inevitably met with Artemis' teammates, but the two sides could only talk ...... Friendly on the surface.

And Lao Mei still can't change the habit of occupying a seat everywhere, and every time he visits a location, he has to plant a small flag...... Makes Captain Geology angry enough.

Later, the geological team that invited the moon also learned, and wherever they went, they planted the flag.

At this moment, Artemis was dumbfounded.

All they had was a rudimentary two-seater electric car – yes, yes, just like the old man.

On the side of the Invitation Moon are two high-standard lunar rovers......

In addition, the geological team is the largest team in this scientific research team, with ten people - when going out, generally six people go out in two cars, and the remaining four people stay to do experiments and analyze.

On the next moon, you can use Aita...... Therefore, the geological work is dozens of times faster than Lao Mei.

And in addition to helium-3 resources, the geological team has also explored rich rare earth resources, especially the current hot "dysprosium" in the international market, not to mention everywhere on the moon, at least much richer than domestic reserves.

These are all things that need to be developed and utilized by space factories in the future.

Secondly, in the process of refining helium-3, the laboratory has mastered a new process in the magnetic sieve method - high-temperature gas reflux method.

As we all know, the most primitive method of helium-3 refining is to heat the soil to more than 700 degrees.

However, this heating lunar soil refining is not only extremely energy-intensive, but also has a very high demand for plants, and lunar soil heating is also very troublesome......

The high-temperature gas reflux method is to use high-temperature gas flow to heat helium-3-rich titanium ore and other materials selected in the lunar soil on top of the magnetic sieve method, and then separate the lighter helium-3, thereby greatly improving the refining efficiency.

Of course, the best news is that this integration factory did not drop the chain, and in less than a month, the helium-3 collection that could be used to invite the moon number to go back and forth again was completed.

……

In the conference room, Director Zhang was in good spirits and smiling.

"Although I know that I have to eat one bite at a time, I can't help but want to open the joint factory right away - and the residential community."

And they all burst out laughing.

As the day of the return of the Yuehao approached, in addition to the established response plan, it was more important for them to give a specific plan.

- Of course, there is a general direction, and the attitude of the country is very clear, I can eat as much cake as you draw. But to implement it every time and every year, what should be built and what should be carried out, it must wait until the task of inviting the moon is successful.

Now that the Invitation to the Moon has been more than half successful, and the materials that should be done have been obtained, it is time to arrange the next moon landing operation.

"It's not realistic to live in a residential area right now." Ye Ming wanted to snicker: "I went to Jiangcheng before I came, and the fusion project team proposed a plan, I think it's very interesting, maybe you can consider it." ”

Everyone looked at him in unison: "What plan?" ”

Ye Ming pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "The first helium-3 commercial pile, we built it on the moon. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at the same time.

Built on the moon? This...... Based on the reliability of the Invitation Moon and the construction plan of the transport spacecraft, it is foreseeable that in a few years, helium-3 production will be able to meet the energy needs of the entire planet - that will surely roll up the price of cabbage.

This is not used to show superiority, what is it built on the moon for?

Moreover, building a fusion reactor on the moon and on Earth are really two different things.

If you lack something on the planet, or if it breaks, people can work overtime to get out of it immediately......

Try to change to the moon - do you send it by rocket or spaceship?

This is just entering the space age...... You can't send a special shape to it, right?

And what about maintenance? Is it all AI?

Ye Ming saw that everyone was stunned, and he explained: "Building a helium-3 fusion reactor on the moon means that we have the confidence and energy to start multiple lunar production bases at the same time, and this is not in conflict with our construction of a transport spacecraft." ”

"Of course, what is more important is that on the moon, sooner or later, such a fusion power plant will be built, and it will be built as soon as possible."

"Don't forget, Lao Mei's side...... They are also staring at us all the time, I don't believe that the old United States and they are not aiming at the moon factory. ”

Ye Ming exhaled softly after speaking.

A month ago, Lao Niu came to his office and asked him what he would do if he stood in Lao Mei's position.

At that time, Ye Ming didn't think about it for long, and then thought of the "only" solution.

——Let Musk's deuterium-tritium fusion spacecraft carry the integrated factory to the moon, complete the refining of helium-3 as soon as possible, and then use helium-3 to drive the helium-3 engine, and finally use the helium-3 engine spacecraft to land on Mars.

Ye Ming believes that Lao Mei will definitely choose this way - because when it comes to such competition, it is no longer transferred by the will of a certain individual, but by the will of the entire collective.

The collective will is generally much more rational than the individual will.

In the silence of the crowd, someone soon asked: "Their fusion engine spacecraft, it seems that only Musk has one now, right?" Without an anti-gravity device, will he be able to land on the moon smoothly? ”

"Yes." Ye Ming nodded his head: "They can land vertically in a conventional way - don't forget, SpaceX has a lot of experience in rocket recovery." ”

"And after landing vertically, you can also unfold the support frame - in fact, before completing the anti-gravity device, my idea is also to land vertically, and then open the support frame on both sides of the ship."

"It's just a little troublesome, and it's not as reliable as our way, but it's not a big problem after all."

And they were silent.

After a long time, someone sighed softly: "You really can't underestimate Lao Mei...... Helium-3 fusion, they also go very fast......"

At this time, Director Zhang smiled slightly: "Whether it is deuterium-tritium fusion or helium-3 fusion, in fact, it has matured very early in theory, and the difference is only the conditions." As soon as the three-piece set of Ye's equation, Ye's limit and Ye dysprosium appeared, it directly made up for the shortcomings of the conditions, and they had no reason not to keep up with us. ”

With these words, everyone looked at Ye Ming again, all with a smile on their faces.

Ye Ming coughed, and he was also helpless: "Sometimes people will always do something to move stones and smash their feet." ”

If he hadn't made these public in the academic field and gained recognition all over the world, how could he have his current status......

The crowd laughed at the same time.

"If Lao Mei's next move is to use Musk's God of War to go to the moon......" After laughing, Director Zhang quickly retracted the topic and said seriously: "Then the first helium-3 commercial power station is lit on the moon...... It does make a lot of sense. ”
