Hearing what Zhang Gaoming said, several people laughed, and Xu Zhengping changed the topic.
After seeing the lander, several people took off and headed to the nearest SS-defense system subsystem base under construction.
According to the plan, ten SS-defense system subsystem bases will be built on the back of the moon in the first phase, and these ten subsystem bases are evenly distributed on the back of the moon.
Soon, the group of people flew over the SS-defense system subsystem base that was recently under construction.
Su Zhe and the others were floating in the air at an altitude of 20 kilometers, using the long-distance imaging function of the armored space suits to look at the busy construction machinery and personnel on the ground.
These construction machinery are specially made for the lunar environment and are very different from the construction machinery used on earth.
And most of these construction machinery are unmanned, either automated or remotely controlled.
As for personnel.
Now on the entire construction site, there are only a few people wearing armored space suits, and more of them are remotely controlled humanoid robots.
At this time, there was a huge pit on the ground.
There are many construction machinery and personnel at the bottom of the pit.
From time to time, light blue beams of light shoot into the pit from the air. The reason why there are light beams is to replenish energy for the construction machinery and personnel in the pit.
There are four slightly smaller pits in the four directions around the deep pit.
Similarly, there are also construction machinery and personnel in these four pits.
You can tell at a glance that these five pits are laying the foundation.
A little further away from these five pits, there is also a deep pit about twenty kilometers away.
There is a large building complex not far from this pit.
After Zhang Gaoming's introduction, I learned that the largest pit among the five pits was the main part of the SS-defense system subsystem base.
Its diameter is thirty kilometers and its depth is five hundred meters.
The crater itself is a crater with a diameter of 28 kilometers and a depth of 300 meters, which was just used.
The four surrounding pits are newly opened and are used to build four nuclear power plants.
According to Zhang Gaoming, super explosives made using the specificity of iron atoms are extremely easy to use.
The controllability of its blasting is extremely high, and there are no special requirements for the blasting environment.
Whether it is a small-power blast or a super-power blast, it can be easily set up and controlled.
There is no need to worry about the appearance of duds.
As for the deep pit twenty kilometers away, it is the place where the uranium ore dug out of the foundation of the SS-Defense System Subsystem Base was dug.
The building complex not far away is a building materials processing factory.
After listening to Zhang Gaoming's introduction, when the group was about to go down and have a look, a humanoid bionic robot flew up quickly from the ground.
At first glance, the name on the head of this humanoid bionic robot is Zhou Dashi, a doctoral student at the School of Architecture at Lingzhou University of Technology and one of the initiators of space architecture.
Several people said hello, and under the leadership of Zhang Gaoming and Zhou Dashi, Su Zhe and the others lowered their altitude to visit the facilities being built on the ground up close.
The first thing to visit was the main part of the SS-Defense System Subsystem Base under construction, which is the huge pit.
Since the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the earth, its construction is relatively less difficult.
I looked at the SS-Defense System Subsystem Base under construction, and then at the construction site of four nuclear power plants where the foundations were being laid.
"We have a lot of ideas for the SS-defense system subsystem base. Its energy supply was a big problem at the beginning, but it is no longer a problem now," Zhang Gaoming said.
The ss-defense system is very powerful, and the amount of energy it can consume is astronomical.
Relatively speaking, the SS-defense system consumes a lot of energy during the detection process, but compared with the use of death ray weapons.
There is absolutely no comparison.
it's good now.
With the super battery, it is also
Amazing uranium deposits were discovered.
Whether it relies on light beam projects or nuclear power plants, there is no problem with its energy supply.
The energy supply used in the former is solar energy collected by solar collection stations in the light column project.
The collected solar energy is converted into light of specific wavelengths, and the light energy is transmitted to the light energy transmission station.
Finally, the transmitted light energy is absorbed by the SS-defense system subsystem base, and finally stored in the energy storage account composed of super batteries.
As for nuclear power plants, that's easy.
The most critical thing is that the nuclear power plants under construction use sixth-generation nuclear power plant technology.
Its energy collection is no longer about boiling water.
Instead, the energy generated by the fission of uranium-235 is directly converted into light energy through special peripheral materials.
Coupled with the newly discovered uranium mine, even without the Light Pillar Project, the SS-Defense System Subsystem Base can persist for a long time.
Xu Zhengping looked at the construction site and said to Su Zhe: "With your help, the Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute successfully built a sixth-generation nuclear power plant. However, it is a pity that the sixth-generation nuclear power plant has not been miniaturized. , otherwise its uses will be greatly increased."
To be honest, Su Zhe made a significant contribution to the success of the sixth-generation nuclear power plant.
In general, the core of the sixth-generation nuclear power plant is a material that can convert the energy carried by high-energy rays and high-energy particles into light energy.
The basic theory of this material was provided by Su Zhe and experimentally verified by the Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute.
This material is not only used in armored space suits, but also required for controlled nuclear fusion.
Furthermore, the surfaces of heavy equipment and facilities in space are coated with this material.
Not only can it collect energy, but it can also intercept high-energy rays and high-energy particles.
"Principal! It's not a pity. Our Jiutian Research Center and Northwest Nuclear Industry Research Institute have been doing research on the miniaturization of sixth-generation nuclear power plants." Fan Xiaoming said, "I believe that if you give us some time, we can achieve it. The sixth-generation nuclear power plant has been miniaturized.”
The miniaturization mentioned here is not miniaturization in the traditional sense.
Such as turning a huge nuclear power plant into something that can be carried by an aircraft carrier or a nuclear submarine.
What he meant by miniaturization was the ability to miniaturize sixth-generation nuclear power plants to the size of an AA battery.
At that time, its uses will be greatly increased.
Of course, the current sixth-generation nuclear power plants also have huge uses.
For example, the one currently built to provide energy to the SS-defense system subsystem base, the Cangqiong space station also has a sixth-generation nuclear power plant, as well as the space city under construction, and other space facilities will use sixth-generation nuclear power plants.
"Yes! I also think that miniaturization will be achieved soon." Su Zhe said, "But I am not only satisfied with the miniaturization of the sixth-generation nuclear power plant, I also want to develop a reusable and miniaturized nuclear battery. , if it is built, its energy density will be much greater than the current super battery."
In his conception, a real nuclear battery can discharge and charge energy.
What is required is nothing more than the cyclic process of nuclear fission and fusion.
However, it is very, very difficult to realize such a nuclear battery.
Not only must we master mature nuclear fission technology, we must also master mature nuclear fusion technology.
Maturity here does not refer to existing nuclear fission technology.
To be honest, the nuclear fission technology currently available is still in its infancy.
Now, there are only so many elements that can achieve fission. Such as uranium 235 and so on.
Only when you can fission all elements on the periodic table at will can you say you have mastered mature nuclear fission technology.
The same goes for full-fledged nuclear fusion.
Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is even more tragic.
Even the fusion of hydrogen with the lowest fusion conditions cannot be controlled, let alone other elements.
"Recyclable nuclear battery." Zhang Gaoming asked puzzledly, "
Are you referring to nuclear batteries that can be both charged and discharged? "
"Yes!" Su Zhe said with certainty, "To be precise, it is a nuclear battery that can both charge and discharge energy, because such a nuclear battery can not only release electrical energy, but also light energy."
"This... this is difficult to achieve!" Xu Zhengping said.
"Of course! Such a nuclear battery is just our idea. We don't know how long it will take to realize it." Fan Xiaoming explained.
Although it is an idea, Jiutian Research Center has a research team of 500 people who have been doing research in this area.
To put it simply, this scientific research team studies nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
If we say that the project studied by this scientific research team is application, it is different if there is another scientific research team.
This scientific research team, which also has 500 people, studies the particles themselves and does basic research.
If the former is engaged in engineering technology, then the latter is engaged in theory.
"Yes! Yes! These cannot be rushed. They need to be accumulated from generation to generation. Maybe they will be realized at some time." Zhang Gaoming sighed.
With that said, several people left the site where the sixth-generation nuclear power plant was built and came to the uranium mine twenty kilometers away.
This is a pit four hundred meters deep.
At this time, there are many humanoid bionic robots and construction machinery working together to mine these uranium ores.
Zhou Dashi pointed to the bottom of the pit and said: "The first site for the ss-defense system subsystem base was here. Unexpectedly, when we dug three hundred meters, we found uranium ore, and it is also a super rich ore. There is nothing we can do about it. , we can only re-select the location.”
This time when he participated in the construction of the SS-defense system subsystem base, he really did not expect to make such a big discovery.
It was such a coincidence that such a large uranium deposit was discovered on the moon.
When Zhou Dashi was introducing, the humanoid bionic robots and construction machinery in the pit were quickly evacuating.
Withdrew from one side of the pit to the other and hid behind the bunker.
Although this deep pit is only four hundred meters deep, it is twenty kilometers in diameter.
When Su Zhe and the others were really confused in the air, Zhang Gaoming explained: "The blast will be fired soon, and by the way, the super explosive you developed will be used to blast the mine."
After a while, the pit began to vibrate.
Then, half of the pit collapsed.
Floating in the air at a height of one kilometer, Su Zhe and others felt the vibration.
Xu Zhengping said with some surprise: "This... this is the power of super explosives, it's really spectacular."
After the blasting of the deep pit ended, the humanoid robots and construction machinery hiding behind the bunkers moved out one after another.
The mined uranium ore was continuously transported to the building materials processing plant not far away.
"Don't think we are mining uranium. In fact, mining uranium is just incidental. Our main purpose is to obtain building materials." Zhang Gaoming said, "Speaking of which, I really want to thank Dr. Zhou and your School of Architecture for providing technical support. Use resources on the moon to make building materials."
The School of Architecture where Zhou Dashi worked.
To be honest, he was impressed.
Before large-scale moon landings, the School of Architecture proposed space architecture.
Start studying building materials, building structures, construction techniques, etc. in different universe environments.
Take the moon.
Before the moon landing, these people were studying how to build tall buildings on the moon.
After the moon landing is successful, the research will be deeper. After all, there are a large number of samples collected on the moon.
Facts have proved that Lingzhou University of Technology’s School of Architecture succeeded.
As far as he knew, the current School of Architecture has become the number one school in Lingzhou University of Technology.
It not only has traditional majors such as civil engineering and surveying, but also has many new cross-disciplinary majors.
Such as building materials science, construction physics, construction chemistry, construction ecology, etc.
School of Architecture
When I mentioned it alone, those who didn’t know it thought it was a science and engineering university.
"There! There! The reason why our School of Architecture is like this is thanks to the guidance of Professor Su and Professor Fan. It was their reminder that we started to study space architecture early. The most grateful ones are Professor Su and Professor Fan. " said Zhou Dashi.
Space architecture!
As Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming said at the beginning, it has huge development prospects.
The most critical thing is that with the development of space architecture, various disciplines can be integrated into architecture and used by architecture.
The construction of the SS-defense system subsystem base, the permanent construction of the moon, the construction of the Sky space station, the comprehensive development of the moon, etc., all have the participation of their School of Architecture.
Now, the School of Architecture has not only become the first school of Lingzhou University of Technology, but also an authority on space architecture.
Come up with space architecture in their architecture school.
At first, other universities laughed at them and said that their school of architecture was too whimsical.
I haven’t figured out the architecture on earth yet, so I’m thinking about space architecture.
He could understand why these universities were like this. After all, these people believed that it would be impossible for humans to enter space on a large scale in a short time.
There is absolutely no use for space architecture.
But after the successful moon landing, the direction of the wind changed immediately.
Universities and research institutes have come to their schools of architecture to learn from them.
As a result, their school of architecture has become the authority in sky architecture, and the architecture schools of other universities have become more and more powerful.
"We just said it casually. In the final analysis, it is still your own efforts." Su Zhe said.
"Yes! Even if we say it clearly, it will be in vain if you and Dean Guo Ziming don't take it seriously." Fan Xiaoming said.
"That's the truth!" Xu Zhengping said, "When Dean Guo mentioned that he wanted to develop space architecture, I was surprised, but I still agreed. Looking back now, it was such a wise decision, and it also made us happy. Building a permanent base on the moon and comprehensively developing the moon have laid a solid foundation."
With that said, several people flew towards the building complex not far away, which was the building materials processing plant and uranium ore refining site.
