The complex is unusually large.

The first thing Su Zhe and his party saw were three oversized funnels.

All the uranium ore that had been brought in was poured into these three oversized funnels.

After Zhou Dashi's introduction, it was known that this oversized funnel was part of the crusher.

These uranium ores are crushed by crushers, and the largest uranium ore is the size of a fist.

The uranium ore is then conveyed by a conveyor belt to a mill where it is ground into powder.

Then the different substances in the uranium ore are separated, such as uranium compounds, iron compounds, silicon compounds, and so on.

The compounds that are extracted from the uranium are stored separately and then made into fuel rods for nuclear power plants.

Like other compounds, they will continue to be refined and eventually used as building materials for the construction of the SS-Defense Subsystem base.

Such as steel, special cement, glass, etc.

Even those useless residues have been turned into bricks.

Su Zhe and the others entered the factory and visited all the way, and finally stopped in front of a pile of freshly baked steel.

The steel is still glowing red.

Xu Zhengping looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, "How do I think the degree of automation of the factories here is much higher than that of those factories in the Tamu Gobi?"

After looking around, he found out.

The degree of automation in this plant is extremely high.

During the whole of his visit, you saw a few people wearing armored spacesuits like them, and not many remotely controlled humanoid bionic robots.

Even these people are on site patrols, not involved in actual production.

You know, this factory is huge.

Starting with uranium mines, that is, the raw materials that are mined, after a series of steps, finally there are semi-finished uranium raw materials, various construction steels, special cement, and so on.

According to Zhang Gaoming, in fact, some equipment could be added to make the refined uranium fuel directly into fuel rods for nuclear power plants, but it was abandoned for safety and factory purposes.

"Headmaster! This factory is an upgraded version of our factories in the Tamgobi, the degree of automation is much higher, but it is not yet 100% automated, and many key locations are remotely monitored and operated by personnel." Su Zhe explained.

The current processing plant was built thanks to the accumulation of technology from those factories in the Tamu Gobi.

You know, the factories in the Tamu Gobi cover the entire industrial system.

It was the technical integration of the relevant factories in the Tamu Gobi that led to the emergence of the building materials processing plant and uranium ore refining plant in front of it.

"That's it! Understood." Xu Zhengping said.

After a group of several people visited the building materials processing plant, in addition to Zhou Dashi, Su Zhe and a few people flew towards another SS-defense system subsystem base.

A total of ten SS-Defense System subsystem bases will be built on the far side of the Moon, and in general they will be about the same.

The reason for looking at it is the ice near the base of the SS-Defense subsystem.

When Su Zhe and the others flew to the next SS-Defense System subsystem base, the front side of the moon was lively.

After the morning ceremony, in the afternoon everyone began to move freely.

These include people in armored spacesuits and those remotely controlled bionic robots.

Free activities, to put it bluntly, is to give everyone a half-day off.

These people flew around in droves on the front side of the moon.

For these people, they are most concerned about those probes and landers that visit the front side of the moon.

These people took pictures of these probes and landers.

In the eyes of these people, not taking photos with these probes and landers is equivalent to going to Yanjing without climbing the Great Wall.

If you just take a brief visit and take a group photo, that's fine.

But these people posted the photos they were afraid of, and the photos of the group photos

on social platforms.

The result is that the people who eat melons are envious.

There are many people on the domestic Internet clamoring to go to the moon.

Lingzhou University of Technology, Shangling University, and University of Science and Technology, the teachers and students of these three universities are very calm.

The students who had been admitted to the three colleges and universities were very excited, and they were all ready to start applying to go to the moon after reporting on September 1.

And few of the teachers and senior students of these three colleges and universities have taken a break during the summer vacation.

The vast majority of people are preparing for the full development of the Moon and the landing on Mars.

As for teachers and students from other universities, it is very difficult to go to the moon in a short period of time, except to participate in the comprehensive development plan of the moon.

The far side of the Moon.

Su Zhe and his entourage came to the top of a large and four small pit.

At a glance, it is clear that this is the site for the construction of the SS-Defense System subsystem base and four nuclear power plants.

As seen before, numerous remotely controlled humanoid bionic robots and construction machinery are busy laying the foundation.

Su Zhe and his entourage did not stop too long, but flew to the location of the ice layer eighty kilometers away.

"Coincidentally, the location we chose to build the SS-Defense Subsystem base here is also a huge crater, this crater is fifteen kilometers in diameter and three hundred meters deep, and we only dug fifty meters at the bottom of the crater to find ice." Zhang Gaoming said.

I don't know if it's luck.

The site where the ice was discovered was the first of the ten SS-Defense Subsystem bases to be built.

According to the plan, the base will be dug to a depth of 500 meters underground.

But they had only dug 50 meters before they found ice underground.

"That's luck." "There are 10 sites in total, one for you to dig uranium, one for you to find ice, if you are not lucky, it is that the moon is extremely rich in resources," Fan said.

In his opinion, such luck is too rebellious.

You know, the far side of the moon is not small.

But even so, two out of ten sites have made significant discoveries.

The importance of uranium ore goes without saying.

Ice is more important in a sense.

Several people came to the top of the crater, and from a high vantage point, the bottom of the crater seemed to be covered with a black cloth.

"The pit floor cover you see is actually a huge awning designed to keep the exposed ice from direct sunlight." Zhang Gaoming explained.

"Understood!" "The discovery of so much ice shows that the moon really has no shortage of water resources, and to be honest, discovering so much water so early is a huge help for us to develop the moon and the solar system, at least we don't have to transport water from the earth," Fan said.

"Indeed! With these water resources, the industrial cities to be built on the moon will be self-sufficient and can be exported to the outside world." Xu Zhengping said.

"I'm laughing, mining the water from the moon and making it into lunar mineral water, maybe it can be sold on the earth and make us a lot of money." Fan Xiaoming said.

"It's a good idea, but it's not necessary, at this stage, what we lack is not money, but time, talent and resources." Zhang Gaoming said.

"I think so too." Xu Zheng commented, "To be honest, money is really a string of numbers to us, and there is no need to dig out to make money."

Strictly speaking, from the moment the two asteroids collided, money was a string of numbers to them.

The amount of money represents the amount of social resources that can be mobilized.

It doesn't matter if it's a person, a thing, or something else.

With the current achievements and status of Lingzhou University of Technology, money is really just a string of numbers.

"Yes! Yes!" Zhang Gaoming said with certainty, "As far as your Lingzhou University of Technology is concerned, you can make a lot of money with any bit of technology, you need technology and technology, people and resources

There are resources, you need energy, you really don't need to make money by selling mineral water."

Su Zhe said seriously, "In my opinion, things other than the earth should not be transported to the earth on a large scale, especially for the purpose of scientific research."

"Don't! Don't be so serious! I'm just saying it casually." Fan Xiaoming said, "Director Zhang! Tell us about the big ice!"

"Good!" Zhang Gaoming said, "It has been proved that the ice layer under the crater is spread all over the surrounding kilometer area, and the thickest ice layer is three kilometers, and the thinness is one kilometer."

"With such a large layer of underground ice, could this be an underground lake when the moon wakes up early?" Fan Xiaoming said suspiciously.

"It's hard to say, but it could be a surface lake." Xu Zhengping said, "After that, the environment of the moon changed, the temperature of the whole moon plummeted, and all the water was frozen, and after a long time, it finally became like this."

"How these ice formations are needed to be studied." "What I'm concerned about now is whether there will be interesting discoveries in the ice, such as life, since there is such ice under the moon," Su said.

Water is the source of life!

Although he does not fully agree with this statement, it is not entirely wrong.

At least true for life on Earth.

Despite the abundance of marine life found on Europa, he also hopes to find life on Europa and beyond Earth.

Unfortunately, since the moon landing, life has not yet been found on the moon.

"Yes! Since there is such a large amount of ice on the moon, there is a lot of water on the moon before the surface of the water, and there is a high probability that life exists if there is water." Fan Xiaoming said, "Even if there is no life now, there may have been life before, and it is not necessary that there are frozen life specimens in the ice."

"It's very likely." Xu Zhengping said, "Europa is so far away from the earth, its subglacial ocean has a complete ecosystem, and the most important thing is that the types of marine life on it are extremely similar to the types of marine life on the earth, and these must be inextricably linked."

For Europa.

According to the relevant regulations, it is not possible to travel to Europa unless it is necessary for scientific research projects.

"To be honest, I want to make interesting discoveries in the ice." "Unfortunately, we haven't found any traces of life so far," Zhang said.

Under the leadership of Zhang Gaoming, several people began to lower their heights.

The group went straight under the huge awning.

The awning is 50 meters long and the size of 10 football fields.

The most peculiar thing is that there are countless huge ice blocks under the huge awning.

A large number of humanoid bionic robots and construction machines are shuttling between these huge ice blocks.

"At this stage, we are collecting some ice in preparation for the full development of the moon in the future." Zhang Gaoming led a few people to walk between the huge ice blocks, "That's right! We've built a rudimentary laboratory to study this ice, and one of them is to find traces of life in this ice."

"Old Chapter! I say you're a little unkind! There are some new discoveries that are always hidden, and if we hadn't made a temporary decision to visit the far side of the moon, wouldn't you have told us?" Xu Zhengping said, "To be honest, it's too unauthentic for you to do this."

You must know that Lingzhou University of Technology, whether it is a technological breakthrough or a new discovery, they will report it as soon as possible.

I don't want the institutions of the Lingzhou Optoelectronics Research Institute, what have been discovered and still hidden.

"Lao Xu! How can this be hidden from you, it's not that you're busy, besides, we have discovered uranium ore and ice here, and it's not a major discovery, if we find traces of life, we will inform you as soon as possible." Zhang Gaoming said.

In his opinion, the discovery of uranium ore and underground ice, this is really not a major discovery.

As far as he knew, in the geological survey of the front of the moon, underground ice and uranium ore were also discovered, but it was just the rule

It's just a small one.

For example, those exploration teams found a huge reserve of high-quality iron ore on the front side of the moon, and a gold deposit of 10,000 tons, and many, many other veins.

Relative to these, there is no need to make a fuss about their discovery of uranium mines and underground ice.

"Really? I don't see it." Xu Zhengping was a little unconvinced, "To be honest, Lao Zhang, don't like to listen to it, compared to scientific research ability, there is nothing at home and abroad that can compare with our Lingzhou University of Technology, just like looking for traces of life in this ice, we are the most professional."

He's not bragging, he's telling the truth.

Don't look at the rise of Lingzhou University of Technology for only a year, but its scientific research capabilities have far surpassed those universities and research institutions at home and abroad.

It is no exaggeration to say that if they dare to say second, no one dares to say first.

"Director Zhang! You have a few researchers here, and the experimental equipment and related equipment are complete, if it is not enough, we can help, there are people on the moon base who have equipment." Fan Xiaoming reminded.

"This ......," Zhang Gaoming hesitated for a moment, "We need the help of three professionals, and it's best to bring professional equipment, such as the handheld imaging scanner newly developed by your Nine Heavens Research Center, I don't know if you have brought it to the moon."

He had to accept the strength of Lingzhou University of Technology and Jiutian Research Center.

Its strength does surpass that of universities and research institutions at home and abroad.

Take the handheld imaging scanner newly developed by the Jiutian Research Center as an example, the powerful should not be wanted.

The total mass is only about fifty pounds.

The scanning distance is one kilometer for gases, one hundred meters for liquids, and ten meters for solids.

Within the scope of effective scanning, it is possible to detect the presence of viruses.
