This meeting on how to proceed with the further development of the moon lasted for half a month.
If we want to describe it more accurately, this meeting is just a "space mouth", about the plan for the subsequent development of the moon - the development of the moon is a long-term, large-scale industrial and commercial activity involving multiple industries and fields, not just one
The scientists who helped send the spacecraft to space can decide at will.
But the opinions of scientists must be listened to and respected.
It can even be said that the suggestions put forward by the meeting in Xichang will serve as guidance for the industries and departments involved in the development.
Combined with the status report and various data sent back by Yaoyuehao, everyone finally formed a unified opinion.
First, and most importantly, the meeting proposed the establishment of the first helium-3 fusion reactor on the moon.
The Moon and Artemis chose to land in the Antarctic region at this time. In addition to exploring water resources, another very important reason is that the South Pole of the moon is in the "polar day" that lasts for 180 days in half (Earth) years.
" period, you can always enjoy the light.
At the end of this six-month illumination period, the polar night will enter the same period - everything is very similar to the earth.
In other words, in theory, the factory built this time by Yaoyuehao will be shut down in four months because the solar panels cannot work due to the polar night.
Of course, scientists obviously do not allow this kind of situation to start and stop for half a year. The second lunar landing mission of Yaoyue will lay solar panels on the moon's eternal day peaks to help factories.
Spend the long polar night.
——The so-called Yongzhou Peak refers to certain high-altitude peaks located in the polar regions. Even during the polar night, because the altitude is high enough, you can still get some sunlight.
With the helium-3 fusion power plant, these will no longer be problems. Even the waste heat of the fusion power plant itself is a good resource and can be used to refine helium-3, water ice, polar night heating, etc.
In addition, the electricity from the power plant can also be transported to other areas through the power grid to get rid of the half-month-long lunar night - one day and night on the moon is exactly one month on the earth.
In short, as Ye Ming said, build early and enjoy early.
Secondly, the meeting proposed the concept and design of building a multi-industry industrial zone.
Although it is impossible for the moon to be transformed into the earth, it can only serve as a pure resource and industrial planet. However, whether from the perspective of resource planning or utilization, plan well from the beginning and make good use of every inch of the moon and every grain of the moon.
It is very necessary to keep the soil and not leave any regrets for the future...
Moreover, as a responsible country that is about to actively carry out international cooperation on lunar development, taking the lead in setting and abiding by the rules is also a necessary condition for maintaining order and rules in the future.
Based on this concept, the multi-industry industrial zone will form a large-scale industrial base mainly focused on refining helium 3, and then supplemented by rare earth and metal smelting, trying to maximize the utilization of resources from the beginning.
——This opinion will also be the guiding opinion of the Space Cooperation Conference hosted by the country at the end of this year.
Of course, everything is subject to surprise – what if some people feel that they don’t comply?
Then, please ask who the “infrastructure maniac” refers to.
Then, the meeting also clearly planned the plan and construction steps of the space city - currently the astronauts at the Tiangong Space Station have long been unable to sit still. In their daily communications with the Yaoyue, the astronauts are not only envious but also envious.
It's time to design and start building a rudimentary space city with a gravity device.
…
The final report of the meeting was three hundred pages long, covering everything from the return of Yaoyue, to the launch of the first transport ship, to the construction of a large-scale industrial base with an annual output of hundreds of tons of helium 3 and various mineral resources within five years.
A detailed plan was made.
Of course, whether these plans can be fully implemented, or whether there are any difficulties that need to be overcome, must be discussed and negotiated by multiple departments - this is just a plan made by the aerospace industry based on its aerospace capabilities.
…
After signing his name on the meeting report, Ye Ming returned to his office.
Director Niu has arrived in Xichang ahead of schedule - in ten days, the Yaoyue will start its return voyage.
When the time comes, there will be international members on board the spacecraft. Not only will NASA and the space agencies of other countries send people to greet them, the boss will also personally meet with the astronauts to welcome them off the ship...
It can be said that this must be a return that attracts worldwide attention. Not only Y, but also many departments have arrived here in advance.
"Good guys, is it difficult to build the first helium-3 reactor on the moon?"
"It's not that big."
Although Ye Ming's office here is temporary, it is also very spacious. There is also a small camp bed behind the desk. After he threw his bag on the bed, he sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Niu with a smile.
Director: "Don't tell me that you have read the 300-page report."
As the head of Y, Director Niu is of course qualified to review the report.
Director Niu laughed: "If I had that ability, I would have been engaged in scientific research long ago."
"..."
"Just after briefly reading the introduction, I felt that if there are no technical problems, the United States will definitely go crazy after this helium 3 power plant is built."
Ye Ming nodded: "We have discussed it many times, and have also thought about it from others' perspective. We feel that if the United States slapped a power plant on the moon first... we would not be able to bear it. After all, fusion power plants are considered fixed assets.
.”
"Yes. But have you considered maintenance?"
"Well, I have considered using a large number of robots by then."
"Robot?" Director Niu frowned slightly: "Ata or similar to a shipboard computer?"
Director Niu paid as much attention to the Yao Yue as Ye Ming did. Of course he knew the complaints the crew of the Yao Yue had about the shipboard computers - compared to Aita's intelligence, the shipboard computers were indeed inconvenient, so they
I would rather endure the delay and send the data back to Aita for processing.
Seeing Director Niu's first concern was program control... Ye Ming blinked lightly.
Then, he looked at He Mo: "He Mo, close the door."
He Mo was stunned, but quickly stood up: "Can I listen?"
"It's best not to let others hear it." Ye Ming looked at the people coming and going outside the office door - as the commander-in-chief, there were many people coming to see him.
He Mo understood immediately, walked out and opened the door.
His actions undoubtedly aroused the strong curiosity of Director Niu. The latter had a serious expression and dragged his chair directly to sit opposite Ye Ming.
"What is the secret?"
"Well... Actually, I never wrote it in the report, or even mentioned it." Ye Ming looked at Director Niu and said softly: "You know, Professor Huo Laien and I have been building information models for high-dimensional space.
Bar?"
Director Niu nodded.
He is extremely concerned about all of Ye Ming's scientific research directions and achievements.
Therefore... he immediately trembled! His eyes looking at Ye Ming were full of infinite expectations, so much so that his voice became trembling!
"You, you, you... can handle Chao...?"
Ye Ming raised his finger and made a soft sound.
"Yin Ta is completing the experiment for me. If I'm lucky... maybe, we can achieve point-to-point inter-dimensional and long-distance communication."
Director Niu held his breath for a moment.
"That's what I understand...that's right?"
Ye Ming breathed out softly: "Yes, the one who can listen to each other's voices even if they are hundreds of millions of light years apart."
