Even worse, transport water from the earth. Anyway, it’s only 380,000 kilometers. It may seem a bit long now, but as technology continues to develop, this distance will become shorter and shorter.
Just like before the high-speed rail in our country was opened, it took more than ten hours to get from Beijing to Shanghai. But after the high-speed rail is opened, it only takes less than four hours to get from Beijing to Shanghai. This is the magic of technology. "
Yes, according to Wu Hao, the distance between the earth and the moon is only 380,000 kilometers. Compared with the busy universe, this distance is only an inch. It is not considered a trip. It can only be said that it is Standing at the door.
It seems far away now because technology has not yet developed. When technology develops, then no matter how far the distance is, it will become a smooth road, and it will no longer be a dream, and it may even be shorter.
Maybe one day in the future, we can go to the moon to have lunch, play for a while, and then catch the last train back to the earth. It is as convenient as the current high-speed rail.
His dream, his goal is not this distance, but the more distant starry sky. Compared to the moon, the unknown starry sky is more attractive to him.
While everyone was talking, time was passing by minute by second, and soon two hours passed by. The lunar soil water resources mining and extraction equipment finally stopped mining lunar soil.
Now everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the final result.
"We need high temperature to evaporate all the water vapor in the high-temperature evaporator. Then these vapors will be collected and discharged into the condenser pipe for cooling, and finally input into the water storage tank. At that time, we will know the continuous mining of these twelve hours How much water can be extracted?" Zhou Xiangming introduced to Wu Hao and Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun nodded and asked, "How long will this process take?"
It doesn't take long, ten minutes is enough. Zhou Xiangming replied.
After hearing Zhou Xiangming's answer, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun nodded, and then stared at the big screen seriously.
Can't you see now how much water is collected in the jar? Zhang Jun said anxiously.
Zhou Xiangming smiled and shook his head: "The temperature in the shadow of the moon is very low, so in order to prevent the water from condensing, we put it in a stainless steel container.
Later we will pour it all into the measuring container on the screen, and then we will know how much water has been collected. "
Why not just store the water in this glass container so we can always know the results. Zhang Jun was a little confused and said, in his opinion, this is not unnecessary.
Hearing this question, Zhou Xiangming replied: "This is also determined based on the ambient temperature on the moon and the characteristics of glass and water. We know that the temperature difference on the moon is very large. It can reach more than 130 degrees when it is hot, and it can reach more than 130 degrees when it is cold. It can reach more than 180 degrees below zero.
Water is a substance that can be exchanged between solid, liquid, and gas. Its volume in different states is actually different. The volume in the solid state is the smallest, the volume in the liquid state increases, and the volume in the gas state is the largest.
As for glass, everyone knows that it is a brittle amorphous inorganic material with poor toughness and elongation properties. Under the influence of such temperature difference and water, it is easy to break.
This is why glass bottles are easily exploded by high or low temperatures. So in order to ensure safety and reliability, we collect water into this stainless steel container.
This glass container is then used for measurement. After the measurement is completed, the water will be discharged back into the stainless steel container for storage, and then sent to our lunar laboratory for testing to further learn about the properties of the water. Element. Of course, this evaporated water element basically cannot preserve any substance. "
That’s it, I didn’t expect it to be so complicated. Zhang Jun also said with some emotion. It turns out that it’s not that he thought too complicated, but that he thought too simply.
Ten minutes passed quickly while talking, and the next moment was the moment to witness the miracle. Under the command of the staff, the valve from the stainless steel container to the glass container was opened, and then a clear and transparent liquid flowed out of the stainless steel water pipe.
good!
Bang bang bang...
There were cheers and applause for a while, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.
When Wu Hao and Zhang Jun saw this, they also smiled and clapped. Water, this is real liquid water, they succeeded, the experiment worked.
The applause and cheers quickly stopped, and everyone stared nervously at the screen, paying attention to how much water could be extracted during the twelve hours of trial mining.
Fifty ml, sixty ml, seventy ml. Although the unit is small, everyone is still chanting silently. This amount of water may be nothing on the earth, just to moisten the throat, but it is extremely precious on the moon.
One hundred milliliters! Zhang Jun said excitedly, with a hint of surprise and excitement in his voice.
It's still increasing, and I think we can mine more than 200 milliliters this time. Zhou Xiangming said with excitement.
Maybe 300 milliliters.
Three hundred milliliters is too much for me, so two hundred milliliters.
I think it's quite embarrassing. The water content in this surface layer of lunar soil is very low. I guess it can be about 156.
I estimate it's about one hundred and forty-five.
…
Everyone present also began to speculate, and there were many guesses.
As the water from the stainless steel water pipe continued to flow out, the water volume continued to increase, and soon exceeded one hundred and fifty or one hundred six. Just when everyone thought it was going to break through 200, it ended up stopping at 174 ml.
When everyone saw this, they were a little disappointed at first, but then they became excited again. One hundred and seventy milliliters may not even fill our paper cups, which is the size of one mouthful, and it took twelve hours to mine.
But this is on the moon, and so much water can be released on the surface of the lunar soil, which means that the water resources here are very rich. This also means that they can put away their previous worries. The water resources here are enough for the moon. It has been used by the lunar scientific research station, and it is even enough for a series of subsequent projects.
Mr. Wu, 174 ml, this is a very good result. I think it should be released immediately to let the whole world know the results of this major scientific research of ours. Zhou Xiangming's face turned red and he said excitedly to Wu Hao.
Send it, send it immediately, remember to add the video and pictures. Contact the publicity department to send a press release. This is a great scientific research achievement that everyone should be happy with. Wu Hao said excitedly and immediately.
Okay, I'll make arrangements right now. After hearing the words, Zhou Xiangming immediately turned around to make arrangements but was stopped by Wu Hao. He looked at Zhou Xiangming and said, "Please keep the pictures and videos confidential, especially when it comes to important technical aspects. We must be on guard against others. We worked hard to make it." The skills that come out cannot be learned in vain."
Don't worry, I'll confirm this myself. Zhou Yonghui nodded and responded excitedly.
