Chapter 1131: The fortress on the moon

Yan Xinjue originally thought that after seeing the Moon Palace, there would be nothing more to surprise him. All the surprises had been seen all along the way he came.
However, when the staff member of the science station named Ma Hao drove a lunar rover and brought him to the vicinity of the lunar research base, his eyes were shocked again by the scene in front of him.
On the vast flat ground, silvery white "domestic eggs" are set on the surface of the hollow moon soil, and the white, six-grid shell is brightly shone with white light. The area of ​​a single dome is not small. It looks like a dozen meters in diameter. The center height is about two or three people. From the outside, it looks like a science fiction yurt.
"... Is this the scientific research station?"
"Here?" Looking at Yan Xinjue's gaze, Ma Haha, who was driving, laughed. "Of course not here, how can there be such a place ... that's our vegetable garden."
Yan Xinjue froze slightly.
"Vegetable garden?"
"The academic point is called 'moon-based soilless cultivation unit', and it is coated with a special graphene semiconductor material, which can resist the impact of lighter meteorite. When it passes through some light sources, it can also transfer excess light energy. Absorb and convert it into electricity to power the fill light in the cultivation unit. "
The temperature difference between day and night on the moon is large, the day temperature is as high as 127 ° C, and the night temperature can be as low as -183 ° C. The cycle of day and night rotation is as long as 27.32 days, and the planting environment is very harsh. And because there is no atmosphere on the moon, and the thermal capacity and thermal conductivity of the lunar material are very low, how to lock the light energy during the sunshine period has become one of the difficulties in solving the lunar planting.
According to the technology on the biosphere a, the moon-based soilless cultivation unit designed by Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies can solve this problem to a certain extent.
Although the production is limited, the cost is still much lower than the supply from the earth. And there is room for further improvement. Biologists on the moon are developing a mutant potato that can quickly accumulate starch under low gravity and high light conditions. It is said that some progress has been made, but he is not very specific. Just understand.
"... It's still too difficult to achieve self-sufficiency now, but barely we can count as one of the few fresh food sources besides compressed food and liquid food."
"In addition to serving as food, these crops can also recycle astronaut manure, while consuming part of the carbon dioxide in scientific research bases, which can be regarded as a supplement to organic matter and air circulation systems. Of course, the current cycle efficiency is not very high. , You still need to transport supplies and excreta from the side of the earth. "
Yan Xinjue: "What about water? Does n’t it take a lot of water to plant it?"
"Moon ice," Ma Hao said with a smile on his face. "Fortunately, we found a treasure more precious than helium three at a depth of five meters under our feet. At that time, we also published a paper specifically for this matter. It has caused a lot of sensation in the astronomy and geological circles. At present, the proven reserves are around 20 million tons, which saves us enough to use in the next century. There is a larger mine over the Antarctica. It is said that it has broken 100 million ... Of course, don't tell others about this, only half of the exploration work is done, and we are not sure if there are so many. "
20 million tons ...
Yan Xinjue opened his mouth, and it took a long time for him to say a word.
"It's unbelievable ... why have I never seen a related story in the news?"
"Western media are not interested in reporting. Before we achieved the staged results, we were not interested in publicity ..." Ma Hao raised his head, pointed his chin at the crater in front of the mountain, and said with a smile, "Look, the front is Our base has arrived. "
Looking up out of the car window, Yan Xinjue finally saw the true face of Lushan, the mysterious lunar research base.
It was a building inlaid in a crack in the crater's rock mass. A tall, steep wall fell vertically to the ground, and a gentle silver-white extended outward from the doorway. In order to avoid as much as possible the rocks falling on the ground, the main part of the building was buried as much as possible in the mountains. Except for that wall, the only exposed part was a signal transmission tower derived from the sky.
However, even though only the tip of the iceberg can be seen, the scene in front of him is amazing enough.
If the Moon Palace hovering in the sky is like a silver-white dragon, this diamond inlaid on the crater is like a silver castle guarded by a dragon.
It's like a wonder.
It marks the crystallization of the highest building craftsmanship of the entire human civilization, as well as aerospace technology!
The lunar rover slowly climbed the ramp and passed through two air locks. When the incandescent light of the garage fell above his head, Yan Xinjue returned to God as if he was awakened.
Next to it, a ground staff member in casual clothes who had been waiting there stepped forward to clean up the moon dust outside the car with professional equipment and helped them open the door.
Unlocking the helmet, Ma Ha breathed the air in the base and put his hands on the steering wheel. He looked at the overwhelmed Yan Xinjue and smiled.
"You don't need to wear a space suit at the base, just be casual. I'll pick up other people in a while ... My assistant will take you to your room."
The physicist who sent Hua Guo to the moon first was the opinion of the Chinese physics community. Although it has increased the budget by several hundred thousand yuan, it is still within an acceptable range. I saw him on the petition. Lu Zhou, the academician of the former mentor, approved it at will.
After a while, physicists from other countries and engineers in the field of high-energy physics will land on the lunar surface one after another in a landing capsule. As the captain of the ground crew of this scientific research station, Ma Hao's job is to transfer these Scholars received the fort in batches.
Yan Xinjue nodded and said sincerely.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," Ma Hao patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "We are compatriots on earth, and we are even more family here."
Just stepping on this piece of land far from home, Yan Xinjue couldn't understand the deep meaning of the sentence of the captain of the ground crew, only if it was just a short distance of comfort.
After responding to the captain of the ground crew, a friendly smile, Yan Xinjue got out of the car and left the space suit in the standing cabinet aside, following the footsteps of the assistant and walking towards the interior of the base.
If the outside landscape is shocking enough, everything inside the base is even more spectacular.
There are a total of 21 floors, including residential areas, work areas, laboratories and even libraries and gyms that simulate the gravity environment. Each floor has its unique functions, like a five-star hotel integrating work and leisure. .
The only disadvantage is that the private space is slightly smaller.
Although it is not Beishangguang here, the construction cost per square meter is said to have surpassed Wudaokou in the center of the universe, and the "property fee" is not in one dimension. Under such circumstances, they can still ensure that each of them has a ten square meter snail house, which can even be regarded as a luxury.
Arriving at a numbered aluminum door, the ground crew handed a card to Yan Xinjue and said with a smile.
"This is your dormitory. This card is an access card and also an identity card, which corresponds to your access right in this scientific research station."
"Your authority corresponds to the physical experiment area, accommodation area, and public service area, and the corresponding floor number is printed on the card. If you need to use the vehicle or leave the base, you need to apply for additional to the base supervisor."
"This card hopes that you can take it with you and keep it properly, including eating and bathing. It will be troublesome to lose it."
After accepting the card, Yan Xinjue Zheng nodded his point.
"I know."
"If you need anything, you can call me through the terminal in the room or tell Captain Ma directly." Nodded politely, after the staff member explained the precautions, he turned and walked towards the elevator.
When he arrived at his new home, Yan Xinjue put the suitcase on the shelf and leaned against the soft bed.
It felt strange to sleep in a one-sixth gravity environment, and the bed on his back seemed to lift him up with a strange buoyancy. However, although this feeling is strange, he has spent a week in a gravity-free environment, and he is already used to it.
"Tomorrow is December 18th ..."
It was a great day ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The lunar hadron collider will complete its first power-on trial run on that day.
The physics community will move from this to the future.
And that would be the most brilliant moment in his life.
As the representative of the Chinese physics community, he will use this "wild stone" that embodies the highest technology of human civilization on this barren land to spark the light that illuminates the future in this cold universe.
He glanced at the blue planet outside the porthole, with this complex emotion and expectation of tomorrow at a distance of 360,000 kilometers away from his native land, he closed his eyes slowly while lying on the bed.
As an ordinary scientific dog, he never thought that he would have such a day. Even before this day, the most worthy of all his achievements was nothing but driving several times for a big man.
Looking back now, it was really emotional ...
In the face of the great wheel of the times, the fate of the individual is so elusive and uncertain. When Lu Zhou called and told him, saying "It's up to you", he couldn't describe the surprise in his heart, and he didn't even react to what was going on.
It wasn't until he stood here that he really started to feel the sense of having a mission on his body.
"After returning to the earth, I have to find a chance to have Brother Lu have a drink ..."
If you thank you, you still have to speak in person.
Ears have been heard faintly applause from the clouds over 360,000 kilometers.
Hear the expectations and cheers of people all over the world.
With his right fist gently pinched and loosened, wearing such a sense of mission, and his ambition to make achievements in the physics world in the future, he soon entered a dreamland.
This night, he slept extraordinarily peacefully and sweetly.
