Vol 2 Chapter 126: Are treasures

At 6 o'clock the next day, the moon base is here.
The astronauts woke up from sleep one after another.
"Liu Hanwen, how are you sleeping?"
Kong Zhifei looked at Liu Hanwen, who was moving, and asked with a smile.
"OK ~ It doesn't seem to be any different from the earth."
Liu Hanwen said with a smile.
"I didn't sleep well all night. The whole person was very excited. Especially when I thought that I was on the moon, it was impossible to sleep at all."
Kong Zhifei shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, me too ~"
At this time Fang Bo also came over, opened the window, and suddenly saw the blue planet in the void.
"Eat breakfast ~"
Captain Li Haiyang's voice sounded from the loudspeaker in the room.
Because there is no air above the moon, sound transmission is a problem.
If astronauts go out and walk, whether they are wearing a space suit or driving a lunar rover, etc., there is a communication system on it, but nothing.
In the lunar base, each room of the lunar base has a separate system, which is an independently operated system. In order to facilitate communication and exchange, a dialogue system is installed in each room.
The other room belongs to the female astronaut's room. The four female astronauts are very welcoming at this time to heat the meals. Of course, these meals have been prepared in advance, and only need to be heated in the microwave.
Unlike the shabby of Americans when they landed on the moon half a century ago, astronauts ate food at that time without considering taste, all of them were high-energy things, made into toothpaste, and squeezed out when they ate.
The taste is very poor, but eating a little bit is enough to ensure energy requirements.
Li Haiyang, of course, they are completely different, with eighteen flavors and various dishes. Even this time, they also carried a lot of vegetable seeds.
In the future, a vegetable base will be built on the moon base so that astronauts, scientists, etc. who live and work on the moon can eat fresh vegetables.
"Dine ~ eat ~"
Shen Yue is a female astronaut. She smiles and greets everyone to eat. After eating, they still have a lot of tasks to do.
The construction of the lunar base, the exploration of surrounding resources, and the collection of lunar soil and rock samples are all busy.
At 10 o'clock, the two spacecraft will return to the earth, so the real remaining working time is only 3 hours, which is relatively tight.
Of course, this time, not everyone will go back. Eight astronauts will stay on the moon to continue building the lunar base and explore the surrounding resources.
After hurriedly eating breakfast, the eighteen people had a clear division of labor and began to get busy.
Some people continue to build lunar bases, while others go to explore surrounding resources, while others go to collect moon soil, rock samples, and so on.
Li Haiyang, Liu Hanwen, Kong Zhifei, and Fang Bo are members of the resource exploration team, and one person drives a lunar rover towards four areas.
Desolate and desolate, the craggy moon surface is covered with all kinds of large and small rocks.
The lunar rover driven by Liu Hanwen walked very slowly on the desolate ground.
The engineering vehicle carries various high-tech detection equipment. Just a walk from the surface of the moon can roughly know which minerals are nearby.
"Didi! Didi!"
The detection equipment on the lunar project is constantly running and working. All data and information are transmitted to the control command center on the earth side. At the same time, Liu Hanwen is also chatting with other teammates on the desolate lunar surface here. If you don't chat, everything will be silent, and the whole person will feel panic.
"Well, the resources on the moon are really too rich. I found a giant ilmenite here. The preliminary detected reserves are as high as 5 billion tons, which is comparable to our giant iron ore mine in Panzhihua, China. Preliminary survey results, and according to the survey data, this iron ore is still open-air, and the iron content is very high. "
Fang Bo's voice came from the communication headset.
"Titanium and iron are the most widely distributed on the moon. There are 22 major lunar seas on the moon's surface, of which 19 months are on the front of the moon (the side facing the earth)."
"There are a lot of moon sea basalts in these moon seas. Moon sea basalts are rich in iron and titanium. The volume of basalts filled in the sea in 22 months is about 1010 cubic kilometers, while moon sea basalts are rich in titanium and iron. Resources. "
"The area chosen by our lunar base itself has been explored by scientists using resource exploration satellites in advance. The surrounding area is rich in mineral resources. It is nothing to find an iron ore."
At this time, the captain Li Haiyang also spoke, and it was clear that he had learned the relevant information in advance, and he was very clear about these.
"Haha, a major discovery, I found Cockerlip rock here."
At this moment, another excited voice came from the ear. This was Kong Zhifei's voice.
The rock in his mouth is the name of a rock that is widely distributed on the moon and is one of the three major rock types in the lunar highlands. It is named after it is rich in potassium, rare earth elements and phosphorus.
Krypton, which is rich in thorium and uranium, is covered by the later Moon Sea basalt. Klippite is mixed to form high thorium and uranium materials, and its thickness is estimated to be 10 km to 20 km.
The total amount of rare earth elements in the Klipp Rock in the Storm Ocean area is about 22.5 billion to 45 billion tons. The rich plutonium and uranium contained in the Krip rock is also one of the important mineral resources for the future human development and utilization of lunar resources. .
"How quickly you can find rare earths, but this is nothing. The distribution of rare earths on the moon is still very wide. The storm ocean area is one of the regions with the largest amount of Kriplites. It is not a big deal to find rare earths. . "
"Let's find a more precious resource than anyone else."
At this time, Fang Bo's voice also sounded, and everyone was very happy to play the treasure hunt game.
"Helium 3 is everywhere, and the distribution of helium 3 in the soil of the moon is too rich."
Liu Hanwen looked at the constantly appearing data in the computer. What kind of resources does the Lunar Engineering Vehicle pass by? The detectors on the engineering vehicle will automatically display on the computer.
Helium 3, the lunar soil is rich in helium 3, while there is almost no helium 3 on the earth, and the content of helium 3 in the lunar soil is estimated at 715,000 tons.
Helium fusion using deuterium and helium 3 can be used as a source of energy for nuclear power plants. This fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, and is easily controlled nuclear fusion. It can be used not only for ground nuclear power plants, but also for space navigation.
Due to the large amount of helium 3 in the moon, for the future energy-scarce earth, it is undoubtedly carbon in the snow. However, based on the current level of the earth's technology, we have not yet mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology. The most abundant helium 3 resources are useless at all.
However, the resource of helium 3 is still very important. Once mankind masters the technology of controlled nuclear fusion in the future, a large amount of helium 3 will be needed at that time, but this resource is not available on the earth, and the moon contains rich helium 3 Naturally, resources have become the focus of competition among the world's major powers.
But now, the whole moon is the only base on which Hua Xia has established the moon. It can be said that it has taken up the advanced space. The moon is so big. If you want to occupy that area, you will occupy that area. No matter where the resources are rich, there is no one. Fight with yourself.
"Haha, I found a large copper mine with reserves of hundreds of millions of tons."
There was another sound at the ear. This is Kong Zhifei's voice. The resources on the moon are too rich. Many times there are more than one or two resources in a place. Many resources are densely distributed.
The resources on the moon are too rich, and the storm ocean area selected by scientists is an exploration by resource exploration satellites in advance, which is definitely a very fat area.
Looking at the data in the computer, Liu Hanwen can detect good minerals everywhere, iron ore, copper ore, titanium ore, rare earth ore ...
A variety of mineral deposits are very rich, with amazing reserves and easy mining. Many are open-pit mines, all of which have great mining value.
"Looking for a long time, have you found any gold or silver?"
Looking at the data in the computer, Liu Hanwen thought carefully and seemed to be missing something.
What ’s most exciting is of course gold, because it ’s extremely valuable and is sold by grams. If you can find a gold mine, you must be rich.
"Gold and silver are precious metals, even if they are extremely scarce on the earth. In the early stage, we used resource exploration satellites to explore the entire moon's indications. However, these two things were not found."
Li Haiyang's voice was remembered in the headphones. Although the resources on the moon are extremely rich ~ EbookFREE.me ~, gold and silver have never been found.
"Should not, even if the moon itself does not have gold, it has been hit by countless meteorites in the hundreds of millions of years, there is no gold in this meteorite?"
Liu Hanwen expressed his suspicion that gold is a good thing. If a gold mine is really found, or if it has a large reserve, then the country will issue it. The mining of gold mine alone is enough to greatly promote the development of the lunar mining industry. .
"What you said makes sense, there are definitely some, but there should not be a lot of them, not too much value ~"
Li Haiyang nodded and nodded in agreement, gold is scarce on the earth, not necessarily in space, and everything is difficult to say.
While chatting with his teammates, Liu Hanwen drove the moon on the moon to show that he was constantly exploring, and from time to time, he would find a place to drill holes, collect some underground rocks, soil samples, or drill some large rocks to break into the rocks Is there any gem or something like that?
PS: Lunar mining has been organized ~ Now everyone is urgently required to invest ~ 1 cent is returned for 1 yuan ~ Don't miss it when passing by ~
