"These meteorites are worthy of study," Su Zhe said. "Studying these meteorites will help with the study of the moon and the solar system, especially the early formation of the solar system."
Many of the meteorites that hit the moon are left over from the formation of the solar system.
Studying these meteorites is of great help in understanding the formation of the solar system.
Unlike Earth, smaller meteorites are burned up before they hit the ground.
Meteorites that hit the ground have experienced geological changes and human and animal activities. It is difficult to find a large number of meteorites.
Nowadays, Antarctica is the only one with the most meteorites on Earth that is relatively easy to find. However, Antarctica has a harsh environment and is very difficult to obtain.
For now, it is much more convenient to obtain meteorites on the moon than to obtain meteorites in the Antarctic of the Earth.
"Yes! Yes! We are also careful when digging these meteorites. When we dig, we not only need to analyze the lunar stratigraphy, but also retain a large number of related lunar soil samples." Zhang Gaoming said, "These samples and Part of the collected meteorites will be packaged and transported back to Earth and distributed to universities and research institutes for research, while the remaining part will be left on the moon for research, and part of it will be sent to the lunar base.”
Speaking of the research on lunar soil and meteorites, it reminds us of the shortage of personnel in domestic universities, research institutions, and enterprises.
Just like these lunar soils and meteorites, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources to study.
This is only part of it.
You know, during this period, relevant domestic agencies sent too many detectors to different locations in the solar system.
Not to mention the design and manufacture of these detectors.
The data collected by these detectors always needs to be analyzed.
In the solar system, in addition to the sun, there are eight planets, numerous satellites, dwarf planets, comets, etc.
】
These need to be studied and analyzed one by one.
Plus the development of the solar system.
How many people will be involved?
To be honest, in the early days, there were far from enough people in the country.
"Yes! We need to study it carefully." Fan Xiaoming said, "From the analysis of the lunar soil collected before and the lunar geology analysis, there is no shortage of metal minerals on the moon, and there is no shortage of rare earth minerals. As advertised in the past, the lunar soil There is a large amount of helium-3 in it, which is an ideal fuel for controllable nuclear fusion. If you study it carefully, you are likely to discover mineral deposits or new substances that are not found on the earth, which may play a major role in the development of our science and technology. "
He remembered clearly.
When the space agency launches a probe on the back of the moon, its return device carries it back to the lunar soil.
New minerals were discovered in subsequent studies of lunar soil.
It also proved that there is helium and water in the lunar soil.
"That's it! We excavated more lunar soil and did a preliminary analysis, and found that the helium-3 content in the lunar soil is not low. By the way! When we were digging, we discovered a uranium mine, and it was also a rich ore. The most What’s strange is that the uranium content in this uranium ore is high, and the proportion of uranium 235 in the uranium isotope is extremely high, reaching 0.5%," Zhang Gaoming said.
This uranium ore was discovered one hundred meters underground when digging the foundation of the SS-Defense System Subsystem Base.
It scared everyone at that time.
"It's such an exaggeration. Can't such uranium ore be used as fuel for nuclear power plants by just refining it?" Fan Xiaoming asked in amazement, "Director Zhang! You said this uranium ore is a rich ore, how rich is it?"
"Who says not! As for the reserves of uranium ore." Zhang Gaoming said, "Let me put it this way, if this uranium ore is fully mined, it will be used as fuel for nuclear power plants. Based on the total amount of global energy consumption last year, the amount of uranium mined will be The mine is enough to last fifty years.”
After the discovery of this huge uranium mine, the SS-defense system subsystem base was re-selected.
At that time, uranium reserves were being discovered, and everyone was shocked.
If this had been done in the past, it would have been a major discovery.
But now, it's just so-so.
After all, current nuclear power plants are used as backup energy sources, and their energy consumption will be provided by the light column projects under construction.
"What! In fifty years, this uranium mine will be considered a super rich ore." Fan Xiaoming said, "This is still a uranium mine discovered on the moon. Maybe there are more uranium mines in other places on the moon."
"Yes! It is possible." Zhang Gaoming said, "This time when we were building the SS-defense system subsystem base, we not only discovered this super uranium mine, but also discovered it in a place three hundred meters underground. The ice layer has now been proven to contain water resources equivalent to the full water storage capacity of the Three Gorges."
The process of building the SS-defense system subsystem base this time is strange enough.
Of the ten SS-defense system subsystem bases, two have been relocated.
The reason is that one discovered super uranium ore, and the other is an ice layer containing a large amount of water resources.
Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and Fan Xiaoming were surprised when they heard about the discovery of ice.
"Ice! The full water storage capacity of the Three Gorges, this... this is great." Fan Xiaoming said excitedly.
The presence of water on the moon has been proven long ago.
When a permanent lunar base was built on the front of the moon, a lot of ice crystals were dug out of the ground.
But he didn't expect that an ice layer would be dug out on the back of the moon, and it would hold such a large amount of water.
"Director Zhang! Have any ice layers or ice crystals been found in other places during the excavation process?" Su Zhe asked.
From what we know so far, the moon itself has a lot of water resources.
Take the foundation dug for building a permanent lunar base on the far side of the moon.
Digging down from the ground, some ice crystals began to appear at ten meters, and more at fifty meters.
This can be seen from the geological survey reports made by relevant personnel on the moon.
This also shows that the moon itself is not short of water.
As for the previous belief that there was no water on the moon, that was because the probe could not take samples deep into the earth.
"Such a large ice layer has never been found, but there is a small area of ice and a large number of ice crystals." Zhang Gaoming said, "This time we dug a total of twelve places, and only one place had only a small amount of ice. Ice crystals, others have ice layers and lots of ice crystals, including uranium ore."
"That's it! That means the moon is not short of water at all." Fan Xiaoming said, "This is the best. The moon has a lot of water, so we don't need to transport water from the earth."
Water is essential for human beings.
Take the lunar development program.
Eleven industrial cities with a planned population of 20 million.
If the water resources used by humans, plus the water resources used by industry, were all transported from the earth, the amount of water would be quite large.
it's good now!
There is ample water resources on the moon, and it is nothing more than using some energy to mine these water resources.
Even so, it's better than transporting it from the earth.
"That's right!" Zhang Gaoming said, "There is no shortage of resources on the moon. We can exploit the moon's resources in large quantities to support the development of the entire solar system."
For the development of the solar system, energy is easy to say, provided by the light pillar project.
To put it bluntly, it uses the energy provided by the sun indirectly.
Resources, that is, raw materials.
The resources on earth alone are not enough.
Resources outside the Earth need to be mined.
"It is not suitable for large-scale development of lunar resources." Xu Zhengping said, "According to my opinion, the eight major planets and important satellites in the solar system cannot be over-exploited. Let's put it this way! The current solar system is in a subtle state. Once we over-exploit a certain planet, we may destroy this balance, and if the balance is broken, it will be a disaster for us humans."
"Yes!" Su Zhe said, "This is why I propose that when fully developing the solar system, we must be cautious and consider the impact of each project on the entire solar system, rather than develop recklessly and regardless of the consequences."
For example, the construction of the light pillar project fully considered this issue.
In fact, humans have learned this lesson many times in the past.
After the industrial revolution, the development of industry, especially the burning of fossil fuels, has had a great impact on the global environment.
The most typical one is global warming, which increases the frequency of abnormal weather.
If this trend continues, humans will kill themselves sooner or later.
Fortunately, humans can now enter space on a large scale.
But it's not time to relax yet.
If humans are too unscrupulous when developing the solar system.
Just like the collection of solar energy.
If we are too unscrupulous and collect solar energy on a large scale and without regard to the consequences.
This would upset the balance of the solar system.
Once the balance of the solar system is broken, it's hard to say what the consequences will be.
"Yes! Yes! We must not develop rashly, we must consider it thoroughly." Zhang Gaoming said.
"Don't worry! We have considered all of this." Xu Zhengping said, "Having said that, even if we humans can enter space on a large scale, we humans are still very fragile. If there is a solar storm, or there is any serious change in the sun, we humans will They were immediately wiped out by the group.”
"Hey! We humans are still too fragile." Zhang Gaoming sighed.
With that said, the group of people came to the place where the probe was located on the back of the moon.
After several people landed, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, and Xu Zhengping gathered around the detector to watch.
"That! This detector is still good and can work normally." Zhang Gaoming reminded.
"I know!" Fan Xiaoming said while taking pictures.
After a few people visited the detector, they flew to a place two kilometers away to see the lander carrying the detector for landing.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that we would develop so fast. In just two or three years, we will be able to land on the moon on a large scale. Not only will we build a permanent base on the moon, but we will also fully develop the moon. , this speed is unbelievable." Zhang Gaoming sighed.
The lunar far side probe was launched three years ago and sampled lunar soil from the moon and returned it to the earth.
At that time, it was quite difficult to launch a probe to the moon.
You know, of the more than 200 countries in the world, only three have successfully launched probes to the moon.
From this point of view, we know how difficult it is.
After all, the power source in the past was fuel rockets, which was extremely troublesome and time-consuming.
Like now, it flies directly to the moon through the beam channel.
"Thank you so much to Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming. They led the Jiutian Research Center to develop the beam channel and the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine. Without these, we would have to rely on fuel rockets to go to space." Xu Zhengping said.
"Well! Yes! The emergence of the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine has completely changed the way we enter space." Zhang Gaoming said with certainty, "Who would believe us before the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine was developed? Landing on the moon so quickly, I remember that when Lingzhou University of Technology proposed a small goal, other domestic universities and research institutes regarded it as a joke, including me. But in the end, I have to say that we were short-sighted. "
Lingzhou University of Science and Technology proposed a small goal, saying that it would land on the moon this year and build a permanent base on the moon.
Although this small goal is internal to Lingzhou University of Technology, other domestic universities, research institutes and other related institutions are also aware of it.
He remembered what he said after learning the news.
He believed that this small goal was impossible to achieve, and said that the president of Lingzhou University of Technology, Xu Zhengping, was too imaginative.
During that time, whenever I met people from other universities or research institutes, I would make fun of Lingzhou University of Technology's small goals.
Let’s talk about Lingzhou University of Science and Technology, and talk about Xu Zhengping and the deans.
Let’s get started! They thought that Lingzhou University of Technology's small goal was just that, but they never expected that Lingzhou University of Technology mobilized all resources and made serious preparations.
Even so, outsiders like them still believe that it is impossible for Lingzhou University of Technology to achieve this small goal.
Still treating them as a joke.
Looking back now, it was not Lingzhou University of Technology or Xu Zhengping that became a joke, but short-sighted outsiders like them.
"You also said it!" Xu Zhengping said, "During that time, you people often used our school's small goals to tease us, saying that I was whimsical. Do you accept it now?"
"Sure!" Zhang Gaoming said, "I finally understand. You have already calculated everything. We are still making silly guesses. We would never have imagined that Su Zhe would do it in such a short period of time. Developing a simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine is something we never expected."
He is aware of the difficulty of developing a heavy photon aerospace engine.
As soon as Su Zhe published his paper "On the Manipulation of Atoms by Electromagnetic Waves," domestic and foreign experts conducted a comprehensive analysis of the paper.
Since the publication of this paper, three domestic research teams, led by the Academy of Sciences, have been established to develop the heavy photon aerospace engine mentioned in the paper.
There are even more overseas.
As far as he knew, after the paper was published, nearly a hundred scientific research teams were formed abroad to study heavy photon aerospace engines.
And now there are even more.
But until now, except for Su Zhe, no scientific research team at home or abroad has successfully developed a heavy photon aerospace engine.
From this point, we can see the power of Jiutian Research Center and the power of Su Zhe.
Therefore, his and everyone else's misjudgment can be forgiven.
You can't blame them, but blame Su Zhe for being too evil.
