After Legion and Gongshuzi obtained the permission, they took action.
The two parties discussed relevant plans within a very short period of time.
"The Chang'e-1 energy system is available. Priorities: manufacturing technician-level humanoid robots, laying solar photovoltaic power generation panels, and ore refining equipment."
After making the decision, the two robots began to move. The rear compartment door of Chang'e-1 was completely opened, and large boxes were dragged out.
No matter what, there are five thorium-based molten salt reactors supporting them, which is enough for them to carry out initial activities for the time being. Increasing the workforce is the first priority.
The parts are quickly assembled one by one by two robots with eight hands.
At the same time, the three engineering vehicles were heading in three different directions, mainly to detect the resource situation in this area. Although there is relevant data about Yingjiang, it is only superficial data. Yingjiang himself has not dug here. After passing the mine, you can only get this kind of thing yourself.
If you want to build a base, you need a lot of resources, especially metal ores. It is not realistic to build a hydroponic farm on the moon yet, so the main materials are various metals. Even the medium-term energy sources of thorium and uranium must be built here. In terms of materials, the moon's resources are not generally rich.
In less than an hour, a new technician robot was assembled and immediately joined the assembly process.
In just six hours, Legion and Gongshuzi had each made ten copies of themselves. At this time, the three engineering vehicles that went out also came back, and the distribution of mineral deposits in the nearby area was also stored in their database.
At this time, only four of the twenty-two robots were left to continue assembling the technician robots, while the other twenty robots began to use the parts that had been prepared to modify the remaining few vehicles.
After a while, four mining trucks with drills and vacuum cleaners came out, and they went out to dig. There were also three engineering vehicles that were originally out for exploration, but they removed the detection modules and transformed them into buildings. Construction trucks are now also starting work.
Legion and Gongshuzi began to assemble two small refining equipment that had been prepared. This was also their only equipment that could produce metal resources in the early stage.
After the refining equipment was assembled, the mining truck had not returned yet, and they began to assemble other equipment.
Three more days passed, and the moon was still desolate. Four mining vehicles turned their drills to scrape off layers of powder on the stone, while the vacuum cleaners vigorously absorbed all kinds of powder.
Three kilometers away from this place, a busy construction site has turned into a large construction site next to Chang'e 1. More than a hundred technician robots are building factories with the assistance of three large construction vehicles. Seeing a 500-square-meter building The factory building is about to be completed, and steel plates have been laid on the ground.
Next to it, there is a three-meter-high small ore refining device humming. Pieces of titanium and iron metal ingots spurt out from the outlet and are collected by robots. A thick wire is connected to Chang'e-1, thorium. The base molten salt reactor provides sufficient electrical energy for the refining unit.
There are about fifty square meters of solar panels laid out in the open air, and robots come here from time to time to charge. The batteries of Gongshuzi and Legion are only enough for them to operate at full capacity for twelve hours. When they were almost out of power, they were all on Chang'e-1. For charging, now that a photovoltaic panel has been laid nearby, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome.
In short, this operation, which was more like wilderness survival than alien base construction, unfolded slowly and slowly.
Chang'e-1's biocomputer contains all the technology trees of Hua Guo and Qinglong Study Group, but everything is still very rudimentary now, and two artificial intelligences are needed to slowly light up the entire technology tree step by step.
People on the ground will not let them fight alone. The second space shuttle has been completed. This time it will continue to transport 200 tons of various core components to the moon. The Gongshuzi and the Legion will also lay the apron. There will be a hard landing like the first time.
Blue Star is still immersed in the big news of China's successful moon landing, and Yingjiang is very suspicious that Rabbit must have done something shameful, and took a look at the space telescope out of curiosity.
This was completely blown away. Benjamin looked at the pile of photos taken by the Hubble Telescope in front of him. Although it was impossible to see a person standing on the moon through the telescope on the Blue Star as clearly as the one on the moon, there were so many. He could still tell that a few building objects were clearly man-made.
Six days ago, the Lunar Procellarum was still deserted, but on the fourth day there was the first building, and on the fifth day two more buildings were added, and today there are already eight buildings!
"Hell, they're building a moon base!"
At this time, he had realized that the five treaties restricting the development of the moon stipulated by the Blue Star Speakers Conference could no longer restrict the rabbit.
At that time, everyone was willing to sign this thing because no one had the ability to develop the moon on a large scale. Now, finally, someone with the ability has appeared. Although he will not do it in a big way, but just doing it in such a sneaky way, Benjamin feels that everyone will suffer a lot. .
For a moment, Benjamin wanted to go to the Blue Star Talkers Conference to protest, but he immediately put the idea behind him.
Carrying out large-scale construction on the moon is different from civil engineering on the blue star. Since the geology, gravity, temperature, and atmosphere are different, this is a leap forward in the industrial system. Energy, materials, aerospace, and manufacturing must reach certain levels. It seems that even the most technologically advanced Yingjiang cannot achieve this level, but Rabbit did it.
What does this mean is very scary to think about, and the other party doesn’t want to make it public now because he doesn’t want to break up with him. Otherwise, once it is really exposed, Benjamin dares to guarantee that the plot will not be a concerted effort of all Blue Star friends. To accuse Rabbit of his domineering behavior, those "allies" of Yingjiang are probably the first ones to go to Rabbit for support.
At that time, there will be no room for maneuver between Yingjiang and Rabbit. Even Benjamin feels that something is wrong with his allies now. They are secretly flirting with Rabbit, but this has not been brought to the table. If he is torn apart Shameless, haha.
So Benjamin made another choice.
On November 13, 2000, Yingjiang also announced his plan to "return to the moon" after the initial success of Rabbit's moon landing plan.
"The launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Lunar Crater Observation and Remote Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) is the first step in the United States' "return to the moon" strategic plan, which will provide the United States with the next step of manned lunar exploration and exploration of the solar system. Important data.
In order to successfully achieve the goals of the "plan", including another human landing on the moon, the aircraft will survey the moon's resources and determine possible landing sites. It will orbit the moon, which will help create a three-dimensional map of the moon's surface.
Prior to the launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, NASA offered the public the opportunity to have their names stored on a microchip onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The collection deadline was April 2000. On the 31st, everyone is welcome to sign up. "
