Vol 2 Chapter 1104: The operation of Infinite Gravity Group that makes people sleepless and sleepy!

If the accelerated construction of the lunar base is enough to make many countries feel uneasy, then the next actions of the Infinite Gravity Group have escalated their uneasiness to the point where they can sleep and eat.
Because the last of these 6 launches, the Infinite Gravity Group did a major task with a spacecraft, that is, using the spacecraft to put automatic ground exploration equipment on the moon where a large amount of minerals were detected by satellites!
The weight of each exploration vehicle is about 5 tons, but the detection equipment they carry can be customized by various related laboratories for the topography of the lunar surface, and the relevant technical level is at least one level ahead of the world.
In a sense, the lunar exploration vehicle belongs to robotics. Whether it is wheeled or legged, the lunar rover should have basic functions such as forward, backward, turning, climbing, fetching, sampling and flipping (it can turn over after falling).
It even has elementary artificial intelligence (for example, identifying, climbing or bypassing obstacles, etc.). These are similar to the functions of modern robots.
However, only these functions of the lunar exploration vehicle are not enough. It is a kind of robot that performs detection tasks in a special space environment-space robot. It has the attributes of robots and the characteristics of spacecraft. It is different from industrial robots, medical robots and household robots used on the ground.
"Light weight, small size, low power consumption" has always been the golden rule of spacecraft design. It is called the "conventional three" in the recent evaluation indicators of superior aerospace products. The pursuit of "lightness, smallness, and low power consumption" is the development of spacecraft. Eternal theme.
The farther the voyage, the higher the requirements, and the lighter, smaller and lower requirements for the mass, volume and power consumption of the lunar probe. Even the spacecraft of the Infinite Gravity Group can transport nearly 600 tons of materials to the moon at a time. However, the laboratory still did not give up these design standards when designing the lunar exploration vehicle.
Because the carrying capacity is not really high, the construction materials of the moon advance base and the underground base have to be transported from the earth for a long time. It is better to save a little weight.
After all, a five-ton lunar exploration vehicle and a 10-ton exploration vehicle with the same functions know which one to choose, so the number of lunar exploration vehicles full of warehouses can be sent to the past 118.
And after so many lunar exploration vehicles have been put into the mining areas on the moon, many countries really can’t sit still this time. They have to think about launching a lunar exploration vehicle on the moon for a long time. How can people live too much?
Although the Infinite Gravity Group did not explicitly say what we are going to do, the meaning of their large-scale launch of mineral exploration vehicles is not too obvious!
Because the Infinite Gravity Group announced their plans to build mining and smelting plants on the moon long ago, and even announced plans to build related equipment manufacturing plants on the moon, and they intend to make the lunar base come true in the future. A certain degree of self-sufficiency, no need to send everything from such a great distance on the earth.
Isn’t your current large-scale launching of mineral exploration vehicles equivalent to saying that you have already started to move toward this plan? Of course, you must first find a good enough mining area before you can start work when building a mining and smelting plant.
As we all know, the moon is rich in minerals, and preliminary exploration using satellites and some ground exploration vehicles can reveal that there are more rare metal reserves on the moon than on the earth.
There are three main types of rocks on the moon. The first is the lunar basalt rich in iron and titanium; the second is plagioclase, which is rich in potassium, rare earth and phosphorus, and is mainly distributed in the lunar highlands; It is a breccia composed of debris particles of 0.1 to 1 mm.
The lunar rocks contain all the elements on the earth and about 60 kinds of minerals, of which 6 kinds of minerals are not available on the earth. The moon’s mineral resources are extremely rich. Take the 17 most common elements on the earth, their reserves on the moon can be Not small at all.
Take iron as an example. Only 5 centimeters of sand on the surface of the moon contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire surface of the moon has an average of 10 meters of sand. The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely rich, but also easy to mine and smelt.
The iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, as long as the oxygen and iron are separated; in addition, scientists have researched ways to use lunar soil and rocks to make cement and glass. On the surface of the moon, aluminum is also very rich.
Not to mention other things, the mining and use of metals such as iron, titanium, and aluminum can greatly save precious transportation capacity. Everyone knows that the weight of these things is the most important in the materials transported from the earth to the moon.
However, neither the construction of bases nor the construction of future factories and cities can do without these metal materials. It is obviously impossible to transport them from the earth, so they can only be mined and processed on the moon.
The lunar soil is also rich in helium-3. Although everyone can't use this substance now, it doesn't prevent everyone from wanting to take up more first, because it represents the future energy.
The content of helium 3 in the lunar soil is estimated to be at least 715,000 tons. If helium 3 is really to be mined, then every ton of helium extracted from the lunar soil ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can also get 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon, these resources are all needed for a lunar base!
And so many mineral resources data are still preliminary detection data, and there may be more reserves that have not been detected. Obviously, human beings want to go to space civilization because of the support of these mineral resources on the moon.
It is precisely because of this that the large-scale launching of exploration vehicles by the Infinite Gravity Group has made many countries sleepless, because if the rich mineral areas on the moon are all discovered and occupied by the Infinite Gravity Group, they will be behind. It is very difficult to think about development on the moon again!
At that time, even if they want to build a base on the moon, it will be a difficult task. After all, reality is not a TV series. You can't steal your home with a wrench. Let alone the defense of the base of Infinite Gravity Group, even if they are working in the mining area. You can't do a robot.
And judging from the consistent style of Infinite Gravity Group, if you dare to attack their company’s base on the moon, they may destroy all your presence on the moon in the next instant. This is simply unnecessary for them. It's too simple, no one can tell the maneuverability of the spacecraft through such a long live broadcast!
