v2 Chapter 613: Is there water on the moon?

This live broadcast made the world aware of 3 printing technology. Many companies are very interested in 3 printing technology, and now they decided to set up a 3 printing research and development department. At the same time, many companies called sp company to inquire about the specific content of 3 printing technology, hoping to use 3 printing technology to print some products!

On the moon, the 3 printer robot started printing new things again.

Everyone looked at it for a while, and was shocked.

"I'm not mistaken, it seems to be printing mining robots?"

"It should be, but this mining robot should be a simple version!"

"Does sp company want to mine on the moon? There are abundant mineral resources on the moon, especially there are a large number of helium 3 nuclear energy raw materials, which can be used in the earth's nuclear reactors, but helium 3 is very scarce on the earth! It is understood that the use of deuterium Helium fusion with Helium 3 can be used as an energy source for nuclear power plants. This nuclear fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, and is an easy-to-control nuclear fusion. It can not only be used in ground-based nuclear power plants, but also particularly suitable for astronautics! Zeus is now used It is nuclear fission. If a large amount of helium 3 is dug, nuclear fusion may be used as an energy source in the future to increase the speed and energy reserves of the spacecraft!"

At this time, an expert introduced on the TV station: “There are three main types of rocks on the moon’s surface. The first type is lunar basalt, which is rich in iron and titanium, and fills the vast lunar depressions of the second type. The rock is Suchangite, also called non-moon sea basalt. It is formed by partial melting of plagioclase-rich rock. Because this kind of rock contains very high potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus, the third type of moon rock is called aluminum-rich plagioclase. It is mainly composed of plagioclase and pyroxene, and is the product of the separation of lunar magma more than 4 billion years ago. The surface of the lunar highlands is mainly composed of aluminum-rich plagioclase.

According to the current survey results, the mineral resources on the moon are extremely rich, and the reserves of rare metals are more than that on the earth. The 17 most common elements on the earth are everywhere on the moon. Take iron as an example. The 5 cm thick sand on the lunar surface contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire lunar surface has an average of 10 meters thick sand. The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely rich, but also easy to mine and smelt. It is reported that the iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide. As long as the oxygen and iron are separated, not only iron can be obtained, but also oxygen can be obtained. In addition, scientists have researched ways to use lunar soil and rocks to make cement and glass, so that it can be used on the moon. To build houses. It is understood that the addition of graphene to Corning's glass can already emit radiation. If you imagine a city made of graphene glass, it will be more sci-fi! One day, we should be able to live in such a city! ! ! "

Moon.

On the Zeus, the captain Guan Xing contacted the person in charge of the lunar module by radio at this time. "Blake, in addition to establishing a base for mining, the most important thing for our mission this time is to detect whether there is water on the moon! In the 1990s, the two departments of Clementine and the Moon Prospector revealed that the moon was on the moon. The water may exist in the form of ice on the surface of the moon, especially on the poles of the moon. Just now, the Zeus probe felt that there seems to be water resources in the moon’s polar craters! You immediately take the lunar module to the moon’s polar regions for investigation !"

"Yes, Captain!!!"

The rest of the people also heard the captain's order. Black immediately arranged for four people to take the anti-lunar module to the poles of the moon, and the other two stayed in place, directing the robot to conduct mining work! If there is water on the surface of the moon, it is very likely that the rocks on the moon also contain water, which may be discovered during mining!

After a while, the lunar module set off, first to the south pole of the moon. After more than an hour, the lunar module arrived at the south pole of the moon. If there is water here, or water can be extracted from it, then it is the best choice to build a permanent residential base here!

After the spacecraft landed, the hatch opened, and 12 small detectors flew out first, and then explored the surrounding area. Black and the two astronauts took the equipment and started to install drilling rigs on the polar regions of the moon, pulling out dozens of meters of rocks under the ground for testing!

At this time, the live broadcast of the Zeus moon landing is over, and there will be a three-month lunar exploration time. Many things are very trivial. If the live broadcast continues, the mystery of the moon landing will be gone! However, when the live broadcast was interrupted, everyone immediately complained! Everyone is seeing Xingtou, is there any water in the polar regions of the moon? How can we stop the live broadcast at this critical moment? !

"SP company, I want to watch the live broadcast, I want to see if they can find water!!!"

Netizens are furious ~lightnovelpub.net~ to complain to the sp company's official website!

The sp company immediately stated, “Previously, Zeus used a high-power signal transmitter for live broadcasts on the moon, which required a lot of energy to send high-definition video to the space station, and then the space station would transmit the video to the earth. After the moon exploration of the moon, Zeus will return to the earth, so in order to save energy, sp company decided to interrupt the live broadcast. Please understand. However, please rest assured that Zeus will tell you any major discoveries on the moon. everyone!"

After listening to this explanation, everyone has nothing to say. The Zeus has to save energy and return to the earth. If the Zeus is forced to broadcast live, the energy of the Zeus is insufficient and it cannot return to the earth.

Netizens are still very kind, saying: "It turns out that it is, well, let's interrupt the live broadcast. The safe return of the Zeus to Earth is the most important!"

Although the live broadcast of Zeus was interrupted, people became more and more curious about the moon, and they had heated discussions about whether there was water on the moon.

"There is no air, no life on the moon, there should be no water!"

"It won't work if water is buried in the ground. How do you know that there is no water?"

""

Everyone insists on their own words, and no one can convince anyone!

In addition, many people have seen the success of SP's moon landing, and space travel has become a hot topic for a while, attracting countless people's longing and expectation!

"It only takes two days to travel from the earth to the moon, and space travel has become a reality!"

"Yes, I can go to the moon in two days. It is not long at all! If the price is within my tolerance, I am willing to go! It is enough to go to the moon in my lifetime!"
