Chapter 408, The Surface of the Moon
After exiting the small world of space, Zhou Jimin's face was very gloomy and terrifying.
There may seem to be few mistakes, and they are all very small mistakes, but in reality, they are all inexcusable.
The door of the workshop was pushed open, and Zeng Qingfeng and the others saw Zhou Jimin's face, and their hearts suddenly chuckled.
Is something wrong?
"Comrade Zeng Qingfeng, I will give you a week's time, and you will carefully and seriously inspect this satellite for me again, and point out to me the eight existing problems."
"I'm cheating on you, if you can't find a problem, then go back and reflect on yourself."
"I told you a long time ago that luck is a curse!"
"You have to be responsible for every satellite launch mission to the end, be careful and careful, it is useless to score 99 points, and it is not good to score 100 points, you have to continue to improve yourself on the basis of maintaining 100 points."
"Otherwise, we will have more astronauts.....
Zhou Jimin didn't say anything more.
But the meaning has been expressed very clearly, and I believe that with Zeng Qingfeng's ingenuity, it is impossible not to know what he means.
In fact, these people are now in a cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, there were eight problems with the polar-orbiting satellite this time.
And looking at Zhou Jimin's appearance, he was very, very angry.
What can I do?
However, what will they do, Zhou Jimin does not know.
After leaving the production workshop, Zhou Jimin went home.
After staying at home for two days and bidding farewell to Ding Qiunan and them, Zhou Jimin came to the Loulan monument.
At the location of the small launch center, a stealth shuttle suddenly appeared.
Unlike the Yangtze River space shuttle, this stealth space shuttle is more sci-fi and realistic.
It looks like a bullet and is extremely aggressive.
If it weren't for the fact that there were three tires in the belly of the plane, it is estimated that many people who saw it for the first time would have thought it was just an enlarged version of the bullet.
"I hope you fight for some gas!"
Zhou Jimin has great expectations for this space shuttle, because it is a space shuttle built with all-electric drive engines.
Whether on the ground or in space, its speed is unquestionable.
Soon, he started the space shuttle.
The bullet, which had no gaps at all, suddenly separated on both sides of a depression that was only ten centimeters wide and four meters long.
Immediately after, a pair of wings, as thin as cicada wings, stretched out from the recessed position.
The wings look thin, only nine centimeters thick.
However, the hardness is very high, ten times that of the hardest parts on the Yangtze River space shuttle.
The wingspan is up to nine meters long on one side, and eighteen meters wide on both sides.
Used as a stabilizing wing for ground flight, a width of eighteen meters is quite enough.
Under the vertical take-off and landing technology, the space shuttle took off smoothly.
There are no aero engines on both sides of the wingspan, but it doesn't matter, the eight positions such as the middle and tail of the entire bullet are installed with pure electric drive engines, which can provide sufficient power for the aircraft.
The eight-engine space shuttle will reach its ultimate speed once it moves at full speed.
Of course, when you're on the ground, it's not necessary.
With just four engines turned on and the speed pushed to fourth gear, the shuttle could easily fly faster than Mach 16.
The speed of a single engine is about Mach 5.
It's just that this is only theoretical data in the laboratory, and the actual flight speed will definitely deviate.
And because there is strong air resistance on the ground, the flight speed is basically stable at about Mach 4.8.
But even so, after the four engines were started together, only the fourth gear had already broken ten
Mach Six.
If it's fifth gear, it's only going to be faster.
The space shuttle is completely invisible, and the outside world cannot see it at all.
However, it leaves the Earth's surface at a breakneck speed.
Soon it left the atmosphere, then came to the ionosphere, and entered the plane between space and the ground.
But it didn't stay at this level for long, because the space shuttle was just too fast.
"The moon, I'm here, Chang'e definitely doesn't have it, but the metal element I want to find, the moon should be able to give me an answer, right?"
Staring at the moon in the distance, Zhou Jimin secretly guessed in his heart.
When the shuttle went into space, four more engines were activated.
The speed is multiplied again, and the flight speed is faster due to the absence of air resistance.
Especially after moving away from the earth, the traction of the earth becomes less and faster.
The scenery of space is something that Zhou Jimin has never seen before.
When you stand on the surface of the earth and look up at the starry sky, the starry sky is just a starry sky.
But when you are in space and look up at the starry sky, you will only feel pessimistic emotions such as loneliness, helplessness, and insignificance.
It takes a lot of willpower to overcome these negative emotions.
Many people may think that space is shocking, and this is true, but it is more pessimistic.
The sun is big and the moon is small.
With the passage of time, Zhou Jimin has come to the lunar orbit, and at this time, he can slow down and let the moon's gravity capture the space shuttle.
Then it slowly landed on the moon.
Normally, for example, the Apollo spacecraft is launched from the Earth, and it does not fly to the moon immediately, but first flies around the Earth one or several times, adjusts the speed, direction, angle, etc., and then restarts the engine to go to an orbit to the moon.
Zhou Jimin did not have such a problem, he accurately calculated all the track lines and running directions.
Therefore, when he was in low-earth orbit just now, he did not stay too long.
After all, the speed of his space shuttle is too fast, and there is no need to circle the earth several times and then fly to the moon.
As we all know, in general, the space station only takes 90 minutes to circle the earth.
Although 90 minutes is not a long time, Zhou Jimin didn't want to waste these 95 minutes, so he flew directly to the moon and was done.
The space shuttle was quickly captured by the moon's gravity, and Zhou Jimin didn't need much movement.
With the time of waiting, the shuttle soon came to the sky above the moon and had already begun to land.
A hole suddenly popped out of the top of the plane, and a parachute suddenly appeared.
The Moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the Earth, but for Zhou Jimin, the damage caused by this error can also be avoided.
Therefore, the parachute, as a backup tool, must also be deployed.
Soon, the space shuttle landed on the surface of the moon without incident, and the next work became very important.
He first searched and observed the surface of the moon, and then began geological surveys and examinations.
What experiments such as out-of-cabin activities on the surface of the moon are actually very simple, Zhou Jimin does not need to be so complicated, just do it directly.
"It's hard to find the right element on the moon."
After exploring around, Zhou Jimin was suddenly a little deflated.
Obviously, this place is not as good as imagined, after all, the formation process of the moon is actually very similar to that of other planets.
In other words, the elements that the Moon possesses are actually hanging on the periodic table.
What to do?
For the time being, I can only do it recklessly.
After the survey work was completed, Zhou Jimin began to build a base on the surface of the moon in preparation for digging resources here on the moon in the future.
Space small world is large, but if it is a large amount of mud put on the moon
Fill it back into the space, and you may not know what will happen.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, for the time being, Zhou Jimin is only screening on a small scale.
Not to mention, the ores such as aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron, and silicon that he particularly liked to pursue in the past are still very common here.
There is also helium-3, which Zhou Jimin is looking forward to, which has a very large role and can be used for nuclear power plants and spacecraft fuel.
In addition, when helium-3 is used as an energy source, it does not produce radiation and does not cause harm to the environment.
Of course, the amount of this thing on Earth is very small, about fifteen tons, but on the moon it is more than a million tons.
As the most ideal fuel for nuclear fusion, helium-3 requires very high temperatures and is only suitable for nuclear pulse detonation engines.
[In view of the general environment,
Therefore, Zhou Jimin will not have too many thoughts about it for the time being.
It's just that when he came to the moon at present, he only collected common metal ores such as aluminum, magnesium and iron, as well as rare earth elements.
If that's all the case, then his trip to the moon is a completely loss-making deal.
After all, the super lithium-air batteries needed by the space shuttle, as well as the materials used by the space shuttle itself, are all very precious materials.
Not to mention consuming a lot of electricity, Zhou Jimin is not happy to just collect these metals and rare earth elements.
So, he built a base directly on the surface of the moon and started collecting helium-3.
It is a helium isotope gas, the gas has a colorless, odorless, odorless and stable gas, and is generally stored in a high-pressure gas cylinder.
"Wait a few months or half a year, you should be able to get a few thousand tons, right?"
It took a few days for Zhou Jimin to finally get the base right, without any hesitation, directly pressed the switch, and then started to start the machine.
That is, the AI is still too bad to execute commands at all.
Otherwise, Zhou Jimin would definitely make a few robots to guard here.
As for the artificial intelligence in Oasis New Town, it is better to say that it is artificial intellectual retardation.
It can also play a role in places such as roads and factories, but in places like the moon, forget it.
He didn't want the base he had spent time and energy building to be ruined by mentally retarded robots.
The place he chose for the moment was the Moon Sea, where there were a large number of Moon Sea basalts.
It is known that there are 22 major lunar seas on the surface of the moon, and the other 19 lunar seas are distributed on the front side of the moon (the side facing the earth), except for the East China Sea, the Moscow Sea, and the Zhihai Sea, which are located on the far side of the moon (the side facing away from the earth).
The reason why I chose this location of the Moon Sea is naturally because of the resources.
After all, it is very difficult to mine lunar helium-3, and it is necessary to process at least 150 tons of lunar topsoil to get one gram of helium-3.
It takes a lot of resources to refine helium-3, and I don't know if it's worth it.
Everything will wait for the results to come out.
After the base was established, Zhou Jimin went to the sea for several other months, probably walking at least a few thousand kilometers on the surface of the moon.
Chang'e couldn't be found or Jade Rabbit was seen, but it didn't matter, when Zhou Jimin was about to give up, he found an unknown metal element.
So he hurried back to the small space world and began to refine this thing.
The first is to check the content of this thing on the surface of the moon, the second is to find out what the characteristics and functions of this thing are, and the third is to confirm whether this thing will also be found on the earth.
"I hope it won't be in vain."
After starting the experiment, Zhou Jimin prayed.
Half a month has passed since he left the earth and entered the moon.
It's been half a month since he completely disappeared from Earth, and no one can contact him.
Maybe in the future, he can do the communication relationship between the earth and the moon, but now, he can't do it
。
The main problems are energy, technology, etc., and there are too few talents.
There's so much more you need to do to break through these technical limitations.
After all, the average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 380,000 kilometers, and the perigee distance has reached 360,000 kilometers, which is too far away.
The polar-orbiting orbit is only 36,000 kilometers above the ground.
The gap between the two sides is not a star and a half.
In the small world of space, Zhou Jimin spent a few days and finally figured out this thing.
This thing is supposed to be a new element formed on the surface of the moon after the radiation of various rays such as gamma rays in the universe through the collision of asteroids.
As we all know, the moon blocks the impact of many asteroids and meteorites for the earth every day, and it can be said that it is the protective angel of the earth.
After all, the huge gravitational pull of the moon can block most of the meteorite attacks on the earth, so that human beings can reproduce smoothly and avoid frequent meteorite attacks.
The element studied by Zhou Jimin is not widespread, but the content is not small.
Anyway, Zhou Jimin randomly extracted 1,000 tons of soil from the surface of the moon, and through a complex procedure, he could refine and purify about five kilograms of unknown white elements.
He named it Moon Rabbit Gold!
Why is it called gold?
Because this thing is more important than gold, for now, Zhou Jimin can know from the test that it is definitely the strongest metal.
And it is alloyed with other elements, such as iron, titanium, gold and other metals, to form a new alloy metal, and the hardness can be increased by a factor of ten.
You must know that the Moon Rabbit Gold thing has gone through various cosmic accidents, rays, impacts, etc., and can still finally stay on the surface of the moon, which shows that this thing is really missing.
In addition, the weight is very light, and it is almost catching up with gray and white metal.
Stiff and lightweight, this thing is definitely the best material for space vehicles.
In addition, the high temperature resistance also exceeds that of the silicon wafer material of the space shuttle.
