After Su Zhe, Ning Qiaoqiao, and Si Wenbo withdrew from the humanoid robot in geosynchronous orbit, the three of them took control of the humanoid robot on the moon for the first time.

At the same moment, a large number of humanoid robots flew out of the humanoid robot base next to the moon's permanent base.

These humanoid robots all flew in one direction, and the place where the oversized doghead gold was found.

The straight-line distance from the permanent base of the Moon is 1,200 kilometers.

Standing in the square of the permanent base of the moon, a large number of humanoid robots are constantly flying over the permanent base of the moon.

In addition to humanoid humanoid robots, the permanent base is constantly filled with personnel in armored spacesuits flying up to join the team.

In the humanoid robot base, humanoid robots are constantly waking up, and these humanoid robots are flying out as soon as they wake up.

Suddenly, three adjacent humanoid robots awoke.

At the same time, the names of the three people were also revealed.

And the humanoid robot that showed this Fan Xiaoming stood next to the three humanoid robots, and hurriedly said: "Let's hurry up, the principal and they have already gone, and it will be troublesome if you go late." ”

It's ten o'clock in the evening, and most of them are ready to go to bed, and many others are already sleeping.

Who knows, not so long ago a piece of news brought everyone to their senses.

Found on the moon the dog's head gold, oversized dog's head gold.

Through detection, it is known that the volume of doghead gold is 15,000 cubic meters, which is close to 300,000 tons when converted into weight.

No, I'm ready to go to bed and I don't sleep, and I'm woken up when I'm asleep, and I have to remotely control the humanoid robot through the game cabin to see the excitement.

"Then let's hurry." Si Wenbo said, "I just looked at the data, and there are already a million humanoid robots in the place where the dog head gold is, and there are still five million humanoid robots on the way, and there are more people joining in later." ”

"Anyway, there are too many people who like to watch the excitement." Fan Xiaoming said, "Anyway, everyone is idle, and it's not bad to see the excitement." ”

At present, there are 50 million people who have the authority to remotely control the moon at any time, and there are currently 30 million humanoid robots on the moon.

Obviously, whether there is a humanoid robot control needs to be rushed, on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Such a big dog's head gold is so rare, everyone wants to see it." "300,000 tons is twice the amount that the earth has mined so far. ”

"This gold is like rain in time, and we need it so much." Ning Qiaoqiao said seriously.

At the same time as the exchange, the four of them had already flown away from the humanoid imitation robot base and flew to the location of the super-large doghead gold with everyone.

So far, there are five humanoid robot bases on the far side of the moon, and the 30 million humanoid robots on the moon are basically concentrated in these five bases.

At this time, humanoid robots flew in the five bases, mixed with a small number of people wearing armored spacesuits.

Fan Xiaoming looked at the large number of humanoid robots around him, and sighed: "It's so unusual, just one dog's head gold can attract so many people to visit, and the number of people visiting the dog's head gold will exceed 10 million." ”

It can only be said that the time when this dog's head gold was discovered is really coincidental.

Found at nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, most people are either already asleep or ready to sleep.

The most important thing is that this time period is already the end of work.

Like the vast majority of people who developed the moon, they also got off work, leaving only a few night owls, people who like to work at night.

For example, the gang of people who found the dog's head gold.

Just because it is off-duty time, the vast majority of humanoid robots are idle, and they are all in the five humanoid robot bases.

No, an oversized dog's head gold was found, and after the information was transmitted, everyone was eager to see the excitement.

And that's where the current scene is.

Si Wenbo said: "This is close to 300,000 tons of dog's head gold, everyone wants to see the excitement, look at it, more and more people are visiting." ”

"With so many people visiting, the place is so big, it's lonely." Fan Xiaoming said, "It's strange why there is such a big dog's head gold on the moon, and I don't know how it was formed." ”

It has not been found that the time has exceeded an hour, and the cause of the formation of doghead gold has not yet been determined.

"It is estimated that it hit the moon, and it will not be too long." Si Wenbo explained.

The data related to the discovery of kotou gold has been partially published.

It was found in the center of a crater, five kilometers below its ground.

As for the process of discovery.

It was discovered by a five-person prospecting team.

This five-person team said it was prospecting, but in fact, what these five people liked to do most was to dig meteorites.

No, digging and digging to dig up an oversized dog's head gold.

"Pretty much yes." Su Zhe nodded, "After all, this doghead gold was found in the center of the crater of the Doghead Gold Age, and if there are no special circumstances, this doghead gold comes from space." ”

Such a volume of ko's head gold is too rare.

Speaking of which, 15,000 cubic meters is the size of two standard swimming pools, nearly 300,000 tons.

But this is gold, not iron.

"We are exploring the entire solar system, and as far as the current detection results are concerned, a lot of asteroids containing gold have been found in the asteroid belt, but the number is not very large, and some have also been found in other places, among which a small moon of Jupiter contains a large amount of gold, and from the detection data, the gold contained on this satellite is more than 100 million tons, but in general, the total amount of gold contained in the solar system is still not high." Fan Xiaoming said.

Gold is as scarce on Earth as it is throughout the solar system.

Take the moon of Jupiter, for example, which has been found in the solar system so far, and the other discoveries are not high in gold.

In fact, the solar system doesn't contain much gold.

According to the existing theory, most of the heavy elements in the universe are produced by supernova explosions, and there will never be more heavy elements in the solar system.

"As far as I know, the relevant departments have been planning to develop the moon of Jupiter, take gold, with the advent of the space age, the demand for gold in the industry is increasing, a little bit of limiting our development, now well, the discovery of this gold Gadda on the moon, can alleviate our needs, and there is no need to rush to Jupiter to develop its moons, after all, our infrastructure has not covered the past, and it is very troublesome to mine." Si Wenbo explained.

Right now, the beam project and beam channels are covering the extent of Mars, preparing for a landing on Mars and the full development of Mars.

It is still difficult to mine gold on Jupiter's moons.

After the completion of the Sanmen project, it is still possible to launch a probe for the entire solar system, but it is still impossible to develop it on a large scale.

It will take a long time to prepare for large-scale development.

For example, mining gold on Jupiter's moons.

The first thing to do is to cover the past with a light pillar project.

In this way, the communication network is covered, and the energy is covered.

Then there's the beam channel.

Only then can large quantities of supplies be transported to mine gold on satellites.

Fan Xiaoming said: "The discovery of the dog's head gold on the moon is indeed timely enough, and it also prevents us from rushing to develop the gold on the moon of Jupiter, and we can develop the entire solar system step by step according to the big plan." ”

Step-by-step development according to the big plan.

The first thing to do is to develop the Moon.

The Moon can only be said to be an outpost for the development of the entire solar system.

Then there's Mars and the asteroid belt.

According to the plan, Mars and the asteroid belt are the core of the development of the solar system.

Su Zhe nodded and said: "That's true, now the demand for gold is increasing, many times, gold is scarce, and you have to find alternative materials, but the corresponding performance has also declined." ”

It was like this in the past, and it is like this now.

At the end of the day, gold is too scarce.

For now, the numismatic nature of gold is no longer important, but its industrial use.

Gold is an excellent material in industry, especially in the past six months of research on the use of gold, so that the demand for gold has increased rapidly.

Si Wenbo nodded and said: "That's right, we have recently developed a solar energy conversion device, the solar energy conversion efficiency can reach 90%, but the manufacture of this device requires a large amount of gold, if you use alternative metals, its conversion efficiency is only 60%. ”

The importance of gold can be imagined.

This is not a unique case, it is common in industry.

Gold, for example, is a good lubricant in space.

Now that there is more and more space activity, the use of gold as a lubricant will only be a very important case, and the use of substitutes will only be important.

If the amount of gold is enough.

It's no exaggeration to say that the performance of many devices will be greatly improved.

This is not nonsense, this is the truth.

Fan Xiaoming lamented: "Gold is too important, and the more gold we need, the better." ”

"Not only gold, those rare metals, especially those heavy rare metals, now we are in demand more and more, the current reserves on the earth are not much, the moon has discovered a lot, but the total amount is still not enough, relatively speaking, these heavy rare metals are much less than the content of gold." Su Zhe said.

The importance of gold is clear.

Even if you don't count coins, their industrial applications are just as important.

In addition to gold, there are also heavy rare metals.

In the past six months, not only the use of gold has been developed, but all other substances have been developed in new application areas.

One of the most important is the heavy rare metal.

In the past, rare earths, that is, rare metals, have always been very important, and they are used in high-tech.

In the past six months, it has been found that the participation of heavy and rare metals in the alloy can greatly improve the performance of the alloy.

That is, this willingness, the demand for heavy and rare metals is increasing.

Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "The development of science and technology, materials are an important part, now we have developed a lot of new materials, the number of raw materials that can be synthesized is not enough, take the humanoid robot that needs to be upgraded, it uses a lot of new materials containing heavy and rare metals, as well as the brain computer we are developing, etc., the more high-tech products, the more new materials containing heavy and rare metals are needed." ”

Humanoid robots, mechas, construction machinery, etc., require a large number of sensors, and new materials containing heavy and rare metals are essential for the manufacture of these sensors.

There is also the current automated and intelligent manufacturing plant.

The more advanced they are, the more sensors are needed, and the more new materials with heavy rare metals are used.

But the reality is that these heavy and rare metals are rarer than gold.

To be honest, the development of science and technology is greatly limited by materials.

Controlled nuclear fusion, for example, is theoretically complete, but it is difficult to achieve in engineering.

One of the reasons why engineering is so difficult to achieve is the problem of materials.

Generally speaking, with the development of science and technology, there are great limitations on its materials.

In particular, these raw materials are gold, heavy and rare metals.

"That's right! Didn't you work with the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Industry to build an accelerator for the manufacture of nuclear fission raw materials? You can use this accelerator not only to produce nuclear fission raw materials, but also these rare raw materials, such as gold, rare heavy metals. Si Wenbo reminded.

The use of accelerators to make rare raw materials can be said to be a mature technology.

It is enough to use accelerators to continuously polymerize light atoms, which is called "nuclear fusion".

This way of making heavy elements has been tried and matured.

In the past, accelerators have been used to fuse light atoms to make gold, and they have been successful.

In the past, the main reason why this was not done was the cost.

At that time, the accelerator was used to make gold, not to mention the accelerator itself, and the value of the raw materials that were synthesized was not high, but it required a lot of energy.

Comparing the before and after, it was found that the more gold produced, the more losses.

It's not the same now as it used to be.

With beam engineering, there is almost no cost to energy.

The development of accelerators can also be used to produce these rare elements.

"Accelerator production." Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "There is indeed such a project, and the design has been completed, and the main purpose of the accelerator built is to decompose nuclear fission waste and make nuclear raw materials, but let you say this, I think it's a very good idea, originally in the process of manufacturing nuclear raw materials, those rare elements will be produced, we just need to separate these rare elements." ”

The process of manufacturing nuclear materials.

Take nuclear fission waste as an example, there are a mess of elements in it, ranging from light nuclei to heavy nuclei, and there are very few super-heavy nuclei in general.

In the process of manufacturing nuclear raw materials, these fission nuclear wastes are ionized, and the elements that ionize these are accelerated by accelerators.

When it reaches a certain speed, it will collide with it.

In the process, a number of different heavy elements are synthesized.

After screening, colliding, and finally obtaining the required nuclear fission raw materials.

The same principle applies to the manufacture of gold and rare heavy metals.

It consumes mainly energy, and the rest is not much.
