"They'll be safe!"

"Congress has approved the launch of a second starship to rescue the previous one!"

"This time, we have made a special optimization for the Van Allen radiation belt, so we can not worry about the impact of high-energy particle flow!"

"At that time, our astronauts will be able to transfer the astronauts through the docking of the two starships!"

Hearing Mark's words, the surrounding researchers nodded their heads.

"In that case, it couldn't be better!"

"But ......"

"Now we're already behind the pace of Great Xia!"

Speaking of this, the look on their faces couldn't help but be a little ugly.

They have been tackling key problems day and night for so long, I don't know how many days and nights they have stayed up.

That's why the Starship was launched on time.

The reason why they are so desperate is not to prove that they are the first in aerospace science and technology!

But now.

They worked hard for so long.

It's all in vain!

Great Xia has already landed on the moon one step ahead of them!

A massive lunar base has even been built!

This made them extremely depressed, and at the same time they felt incredible about the level of aerospace science and technology in Daxia!

They don't know how Great Xia suddenly improved by leaps and bounds from the previous level to the current level!

It's like opening a hanging!

Of course, Mark had this doubt, but he knew that nothing could be done overnight.

The reason why the level of aerospace science and technology in Daxia was able to explode suddenly.

It should be inseparable from the accumulation of many years.

He can be regarded as a relatively good researcher of Daxia aerospace.

And I know that Daxia Aerospace has been steadily moving forward for so many years!

All the space missions in Great Xia are planned!

The most terrifying thing is.

The planned date of completion of the launch, and the date of actual completion, are almost identical!

Only in advance.

It's never been delayed!

This is something they can't compare!

It seems that the novelty of these researchers is not very good.

Mark smiled and said, "You don't have to curse, anyway, we have already completed the moon landing in the last century!" ”

"Why not let them catch up now!?"

"Our goals shouldn't be so close, they can be more long-term!"

"Besides!"

"I don't think the biggest takeaway this time was the moon landing!"

"But through the live broadcast of Daxia, I know a lot of ideas and development directions of Daxia Aerospace!"

"They have a lot to learn from and reference!"

"Now I know what they think and where they are going."

"With our scientific and technological strength and strong financial resources!"

"If you want to surpass Great Xia, it's only a matter of time!!"

A researcher next to him pondered for a moment and said, "Now that all we see are appearances, their real things shouldn't be revealed!" ”

"How, for example, do they get a lot of food and water on the moon!?"

"And the energy of their machinery and equipment, how will it be solved!?"

"None of this is what we don't know!"

"We have all speculated about these before, but how Daxia really solved these problems must be confidential! I won't say it easily......" Mark said, pinching his chin.

……

Daxia Aerospace live broadcast room.

Nie Gang, the captain of the first lunar landing team, has already led the team into the interior of the lunar base.

Layer after layer of airtight cabins, criss-crossing passages, one by one in front of the live camera.

But because now Nie Gang is the only one with the live broadcast camera.

Unlike before, when I was on the spacecraft, there were live shots from all angles for all-round display.

It is also known that this may be due to confidentiality considerations.

But even so.

The audience is still hooked!

This kind of live broadcast is more exciting and real than any sci-fi film!

In the live broadcast room, the host enjoyed the scenery inside the moon base while sorting out the questions that had been gathered.

After a while.

She suddenly smiled and said, "You can see that the members of our moon landing team have successfully entered the interior of the moon base!" ”

"I think everyone must be curious about the mission of the first phase of the moon landing."

"The questions we sorted out before, we asked Chief Yang enough at one time!"

"Including what our astronauts eat and drink on the moon, and what will be the tasks of the astronauts in the future!?"

"Okay, let's ask Chief Master Yang of Daxia Aerospace to solve your doubts!"

The moderator finished.

Not only did the audience in the venue burst into warm applause, but the audience in the live broadcast room outside the venue discussed even more enthusiastically!

"I was weird before! Chief Yang just said that our moon base does not rely on resources from the Blue Star to replenish! ”

"At that time, I thought that this would be a confidential issue, and I couldn't decrypt it from everyone!"

"I didn't expect it to be too much of it!"

"Hahaha!! We just have to have such self-confidence!! ”

"What if I told you!? Can you learn it!? ”

"I'm looking forward to revealing the secret!!"

"Although I have already guessed in my heart, I still hope that the official can decrypt it and see if my guess is correct!"

"I think it's easier to drink water, but it's harder to eat food!"

"I'll guess one first! It must have something to do with growing vegetables! ”

"It's easy to solve the problem of eating east! Soilless cultivation to find out! ”

"Brother! Organic matter is also needed in the culture medium of soilless culture! ”

"It's easy to talk about organic matter, you can just bring it from the blue star!"

"Don't guess! Listen to what Chief Master Yang has to say!! ”

In the live broadcast room.

Chief Yang once again appeared in front of the live camera.

He faced the camera and smiled slightly: "Last time, I talked about our moon base, and I basically didn't need the replenishment of Blue Star resources!" ”

"Now I will reveal to you the secret, what resources we can use on the moon!"

"Let's talk about water first!"

"In the past, everyone's concept of the moon was still stuck in the fact that the moon was a barren planet without water!"

"But what I can tell you now is."

"Water is abundant on the moon!"

"According to what has been detected, the water on the moon basically exists in solid and gaseous forms!"

"In addition to the water contained in the lunar soil, there is also a large amount of ice under the rock layers of the moon's south pole!"

"These can be used as water sources for the moon base!"

…

Amelica, Octagon.

Everyone is still in the live broadcast room of Daxia, waiting for Chief Yang's decryption.

Originally, space-related things only need to be taken care of by NAS.

However, it is related to Daxia Aerospace and cannot be viewed by common sense.

Just like the previous Great Xia space station, a space station of that size can definitely be developed as a weapon platform!

Now Great Xia has built an even larger lunar base on the moon.

The potential threat is even greater!

Therefore, the Octagonal has been paying attention to various movements in Daxia Aerospace.

At this moment, I am hearing the problem of the lunar water source of the science popularization of Chief Master Yang.

Many people in the hall were a little contemptuous.

This information, they knew earlier.

A few years ago, it was one of Amelica's experiments that found evidence of a water source on the moon.

Da Xia said these news that almost everyone in the aerospace industry knows, it's really too backward!

And there's another problem.

The fact that there is a water source on the moon is known to the space agencies of various countries.

But that's not the point.

The hard part is how to exploit these water sources!

It is important to know that on the moon, the water content of lunar soil is actually not very high.

Take the lunar soil samples collected at a landing site in Great Xia.

About a ton of lunar soil contains only more than 100 grams of water!

And the water can't be used directly.

It has to go through a series of refining and extraction!

But to drive those mechanical devices, it takes a huge amount of energy!

Therefore, if you want to develop the water resources on the moon, you must also solve the energy problem!

Where water is more abundant, it is not absent on the moon.

At the south pole of the Moon.

There's a thick layer of ice underneath the rocks!

It's just that the water source here is more difficult to develop!

You'll need to break through the rock formations above to mine the ice below!

Inadvertently increases the difficulty of mining a lot!

But most people despise and disdain the time.

A different view was also raised.

"You say, will Great Xia already have a means to solve the energy problem!?"

"That's why they put forward the argument that they don't rely on the Blue Star resource supplement!?"

Hiss——!

It's not impossible!

It's just that this news is too shocking!

There's a good saying!

Whoever masters the energy will master the future!!

That means:

They won't be able to measure Great Xia by the standards of being on the Blue Star!

On the Moon, Great Xia will occupy a favorable position and mine more resources!

In the Daxia live broadcast room, Chief Yang said again: "Regarding the issue of water sources, I think everyone has reached a consensus!" ”

"Now again, about food!"

"As we all know, there is no organic matter and no atmosphere on the moon, and it is impossible to grow in the lunar soil!"

"So how did we solve this problem!?"

"That is, we can carry enough organic samples when we go to the moon!!"

"And use these organic samples to cultivate them in the interior of the lunar base to form a culture medium that can meet the needs of the use, or mix the lunar soil to form a blue-like soil......"

…

At the same time, the Octagon.

When they heard Chief Master Yang say this, they only felt that Daxia was a little secretive and didn't tell the truth!

"This theory is indeed achievable!"

"It's just that there is a precondition!"

"That is, Great Xia has mastered the technology of large-scale planting and cultivation on the moon!"

"Could it be that Great Xia is preparing to move arable land to the moon?"

Large-scale soilless cultivation requires a lot of materials, and it is difficult to balance the proportions of everything carried in spacecraft space.

Because everything is useful, if you bring more of this, you will bring less of the others.

To satisfy the long-term food source of dozens of people.

It is unrealistic to rely solely on planting on the moon.

All kinds of vegetables and fruits and other crops have a certain growth cycle.

Some only mature once in half a year, or even once a year.

If this were the only one that depended on this, the astronauts of Great Xia would have starved to death long ago.

It must be something hidden from Great Xia!

"You say, could Daxia deliberately say this in the live broadcast, the real intention is to mislead us!?"

A point was made.

And after thinking about it for a while, the people around found that it was very possible!

They've done things like this before.

Take, for example, the moon landing.

Since the beginning of the new century, many countries have also carried out lunar landing programs.

But except for Great Xia.

Probes from other countries, without exception, all lost contact with each other during the moon landing!

In addition to the fact that the technology of those countries is relatively poor.

There is another important reason.

It is those countries that more or less refer to or use the lunar data they provide!

Therefore, they suspect that Daxia's move is also based on misleading other countries.

Soon, though.

They were slapped in the face by their own perception!

…

In the live broadcast room of Daxia Aerospace.

After a brief introduction by Chief Engineer Yang and a summary of the technology of planting on the moon, there is no problem.

Soon the example came out!

In the picture on the big screen in the live broadcast room, Nie Gang and other astronauts soon appeared.

The host quickly got in touch with Nie Gang again.

"Hello Captain Nie Gang, just now Chief Yang has introduced the planting technology on the moon."

"May I ask our astronauts who landed on the moon, are they going to become peasant uncles in the future and grow vegetables on the moon?"

Nie Gang smiled: "Yes! ”

"In fact, our first mission after landing on the moon was to come to the cultivation workshop of the lunar base to grow vegetables!"

The presenter's eyes widened with great interest.

"Then can you explain it to everyone in front of the live broadcast room?"

"What kind of vegetables are we growing in space?"

"Are you and the other astronauts going to eat this food that you grow with your own hands?"

"Will it take too long?"

The host's series of questions are actually questions from the majority of netizens.

Many netizens with common sense know that it is okay to grow vegetables, and some vegetables have a short planting cycle.

The fastest vegetable varieties can be planted in less than a month!

But in the case of staple foods, the cycle is relatively long.

Take rice as an example, most of the general rice cycles are about 120 days.

Of course, some factories can shorten the early rice in the cultivation room to about 60-70 days.

But even so, it can't meet the needs of a fast supply of astronauts.

Faced with such doubts.

Nie Gang seemed to be prepared, and he smiled and called over the team behind him, where there were some astronauts carrying special boxes.

The gravity on the moon is only one-sixth.

These are huge boxes that only Hercules can lift on the Blue Star.

The astronauts didn't have a hard time carrying it!

Nie Gang took a box and said with a mysterious smile:

"The answer is all in it......"
