Interstellar Industrial Age

v2 Chapter 174: , Lunar Nuggets Five

Astronauts gathered in the quiet sea of ​​the moon and the Xinghe Group's lunar mining base, and enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the moon.

Of course, the sun above the mining base has no meaning at all.

Outside the window, the figure of the earth is clearly visible, like a sapphire inlaid in the dark void, facing the moon is the darkness, and Huaxia has just entered the darkness.

According to the plan and work schedule, then they also came to rest time.

Although they are on the moon, they are not alone. The moon also has a communication and positioning system covering the whole moon. They can make phone calls, surf the Internet, chat, etc. with their families on the earth.

Wu Wurenjie was about to make a phone call to his family, because he had bought an astronomical telescope for his daughter. The better the time, the more we could call each other across the distant distance between the earth and the moon.

"Om ~"

Wu Wurenjie took out a specially equipped satellite mobile phone on the side of Xinghe Technology Group and dialed the phone at home.

"Daddy ~"

I waited for a few minutes, the phone was connected, and the voice of Wu Renjie's daughter came from the phone.

"Baby, do you miss dad?"

"Yes ~ Super thought, Dad, is it fun on the moon?"

"Are there any Chang'e Fairies? Did you see the little white rabbit?"

Wu Wurenjie's daughter is just like a curious baby. One after another questions keep coming up, leaving Wu Renjie too late to answer.

"Dad didn't tell you that there is no Chang'e fairy on the moon, and there are no white rabbits."

Wu Wurenjie could not help but smile, and said very patiently.

"But why does the teacher say there is a white rabbit on the moon? I want to ask my father to help me bring one back."

"That's because the teacher didn't come to the moon, so she didn't know. Dad is on the moon now, how can I find no white rabbit."

这样 "So, I will come to the moon to find a little white rabbit when I grow up."

"You have to grow up that baby ~"

"Did you watch the moon with a telescope?"

有 "Yes, did you find where Dad is?"

"No ~ Mom said she was trying to find her father and she would tell me when she found it ~"

"..."

Wu Renjie chats with his little lover, other teammates are not idle one by one, or send a circle of friends, or have a video chat with family and friends. Some people even live broadcast for a while, although the delay is a bit severe, But it still attracted a big wave of fans.

一 In the early morning of the next day, Wu Renjie was automatically awakened by a long-established biological alarm clock. Looking at the time, it was only 6 o'clock, which was very early.

I woke up and opened the window to take a look, everything was unchanged.

The sun is still in that position, and the earth is still like that. There seems to be no change at all. On the moon, if there is nothing to calculate time, you will find it difficult to find the flow of time.

Because everything is as old as ever, there is no change in weather, no rise of the sun, moon, and stars, and no distinction between spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

是 This is what it is today, and it will still be the same tomorrow, even ten thousand years ago and a million years ago.

Soon, the teammates woke up from sleep. Last night, everyone didn't have any drowsiness, they all played very late.

Of course, it ’s not just the night they play, but the friends and relatives on the earth are like curious babies, asking a variety of questions endlessly.

I even thought that everyone slept late last night. Fortunately, there is no special strict restriction on the side of Galaxy Technology Group. Sleep later and sleep later, as long as it does not affect work.

At 7 o'clock Chinese time on Earth, after having breakfast, everyone started to get busy again, and there were still many things to be busy.

The expansion of the moon mining base, assuming solar cell version, building a lunar laboratory, etc., there are many things, and the day is full.

On Wu Renjie's side, he drove a lunar mining vehicle to start exploration of resources around the base, collecting rocks, soil samples, and so on.

Although scientists have already conducted preliminary exploration of resources on the moon through resource exploration satellites, resource exploration satellites are in space after all, and there are also restrictions on the use of technology.

最好 The best way to explore this resource is to go aside and collect a large number of samples. You can see these samples sent to the laboratory for testing so that you can accurately grasp them.

"Didi ~"

Wu Wurenjie drove a lunar mining vehicle on the desolate moon, indicating that the resource exploration equipment on the vehicle constantly made a sound of drops.

The surrounding area is very rich in resources and there are many kinds of mineral deposits, which can be selected by Xinghe Mining Group. Natural resources here will not be less.

The mining vehicle is driving on the moon. When it is found, every 100 meters, Wu Renjie will control the moon to collect the soil and rocks indicated by the moon, and then drill holes to collect underground rocks and soil samples.

Based on points, scientists can clearly understand the distribution of resources in the surrounding area by analyzing samples at different points and different depths.

This work is very simple, but very tedious. Fortunately, there are moon mining vehicles in all of this, otherwise it will take a long time to explore the surrounding resources.

Earth, ground control command center here.

巨大 On a huge map, various points are displayed on it. Each point represents a mineral resource. The larger the point, the richer the resource reserve represented.

Around the location of the lunar mining base, the surrounding points are densely packed, many are superimposed, and most of them are the white spots representing the rare earth ore.

"In the northeast of our base, the rare earths in this area are very densely distributed. According to the current data, the content of rare earths is extremely amazing, and according to this data, the reserves should exceed 30 million tons. Every rock contains extremely rich rare earth resources. "

Several scientists continued to analyze the existing data and quickly identified a region.

Rare earth ore is the most important resource mined on the moon by Xinghe Mining Group. Because rare earth ore contains a lot of rare metals, through deep smelting of rare earth ore, various rare metals can be obtained. What the Galaxy Technology Group lacks most.

"I remember that the total amount of rare earth resources that we have now clearly explored on our planet is only about 130 million tons. Will the reserves of this rare earth mine be 30 million tons?"

I do n’t know when Qin Yi and Lu Qingwei came over, and after hearing the analysis of several scientists, Lu Qingwei asked with some disbelief.

Despite the extremely rich resources on the moon, Lu Qingwei has already heard it many times, but this casual reserve of a rare earth ore even says more than 30 million, which is really incredible.

"This is only a preliminary estimate based on the current exploration situation. The specific situation can only be obtained by analyzing the samples collected from the moon."

"This rare earth resource is very precious on our planet and its reserves are scarce, but this does not mean that it is also very scarce on the moon."

"It's like gold. Its reserves on the earth are extremely scarce and very limited, but in the universe, maybe a planet is all made of gold, and everything is possible."

"It's like on the earth, in the desert, water resources are extremely scarce, but in some places, there is abundant annual rainfall and water resources are extremely rich. Do people living in desert areas think that the world is the same as them? "

"The same principle applies to the universe."

I heard Lu Qingwei's words and someone explained with a smile.

"That's it ~"

ァ 新 ヤ ~ ⑧ ~ 1 ~ 中文 网 ωωω.χ ~ ⒏ ~ 1zщ.còм

Lu Qingwei nodded as if he didn't understand, making Qin Yi couldn't help laughing.

In the science and technology tower, Qin Yi has seen too many, too many such cases, and the trade in the interstellar universe has a very classic sentence, which is poisonous grass, my fairy grass.

One thing may be very sparse and common on this planet, but it is more expensive than gold on other planets, just as before the era of sea navigation on the earth, spices on the islands of Southeast Asia were just ordinary weeds. In Europe, it has become the spice of countless nobles vying for it ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ This is the reason.

看来 "It looks like our first bucket of gold on the moon will be dug out in this area."

Qin Yi looked at the data on the display and said with a smile.

静 The moon is still here, the astronauts have completed various tasks, but there is still a big thing waiting for them to do.

The Lushan spacecraft is about to return to the sea. Next, it will travel between the earth and the moon every day, transport the massive materials on the earth side to the moon, set up a smelting plant, a laboratory for analysis, and so on.

来 Even if the spaceship comes to the moon, even if it only calculates the electricity bill and the spaceship is depreciation, etc., a trip will cost millions.

It's full of clothes here, and it's impossible to go back empty this time.

Near the mining base, an area rich in rare earth resources has been explored. Here, there is a hot scene, and three lunar mining vehicles are very busy.

A huge digging shovel packs a shovel, a shovel of lunar dirt, rocks, etc. into standard boxes, and after each box is loaded, the box is immediately transferred to the spaceship ‘Lushan’.

The lunar mining vehicle is very efficient. Soon, a small mountain bag was hollowed out by three lunar mining vehicles, all packed into boxes and transported to the spaceship Lushan.

These earth, rocks, etc. rich in rare earth ore will be transported back to the earth, and the rare earth ore in it will be smelted on the earth side.

PS: Does anyone know how to extract rare earth ore from soil and rock?
