After being busy for most of the day, the three men from Chang'an unloaded 60 tons of cargo.
The Xuanwu-class spacecraft started its main engine again and returned to the lunar space station, breathing blazing fire. Tomorrow it will once again transport 60 tons of cargo to Dongfanghong Base.
It is now 17:55 Peking time.
Zhu Gang drove the crawler truck back to Dongfanghong Base.
"Is the transport ship gone?"
"We just left. We have asked the transport spacecraft to take those samples to the lunar space station. They will return to Blue Star on the 10th." Chang An nodded and replied.
"Has our package been delivered too?" Zhu Gang suddenly asked.
"Package? Oh, you mean those 10 souvenir packages! They have been delivered." Chang An was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing.
The souvenir is that the Space Development Committee allows astronauts like them to collect some things on the moon. Each astronaut has a quota of one kilogram. For example, Zhu Gang collected a small bottle of lunar soil, a piece of lunar basalt, and a small meteorite as his own
souvenir.
"That's good." Zhu Gang's souvenir was intended to be given to Lin Jingping.
"Hurry up and change your clothes and eat. We will work overtime at night to install the nuclear fusion battery and shield generator. Without the shield, I feel sleepless and uneasy these days." Chang An asked Zhu Gang to change his spacesuit as soon as possible.
"OK."
Because the moon has a gravitational pull, although it is not as strong as the blue star, it is still a gravitational pull, making it easier for them to eat.
Zhu Gang chose a Yangzhou fried rice, a bottle of sour plum soup, tiger skin green pepper, and boneless grilled lamb chops, and started to devour them.
Chang An ate very quickly, as if there was something urgent.
"Why is Team Chang so anxious?" Fang Haibo asked in surprise.
"No, I will take a look at the plan of Dongfanghong Base later, so eat quickly." Chang An said with a smile.
"Slow down, don't choke."
"It's okay, I was this fast when I was in the army."
After a while, Chang An was destroyed by three strikes and five divided by two. A box of beef rice bowl was destroyed. After disposing of the lunch box and disposable bags, he turned on the holographic bracelet and looked at the plan of Dongfanghong Base.
The Dongfanghong base presents a honeycomb structure as a whole, with 19 standing hexagonal cylindrical standard cabins in the middle at the bottom. From the bottom up, there are 19 standard cabins on three floors, followed by 7 standard cabins on the third floor, and 3 standard cabins on the third floor.
1 standard cabin on level 1.
The main building has 9 floors, a height of 54 meters, and a total volume of 1134o cubic meters.
Then the standard cabins will be laid out in six directions from the main body construction. The initial plan is to lay 600 extended standard cabins.
These six extended standard cabin belts will form six 6o-degree included angle areas. The first included angle area serves as the spacecraft station, the second included angle area serves as the storage area, the third included angle area serves as the processing plant, and the fourth included angle area serves as the processing plant.
As a scientific research area, the fifth angle area serves as a residential area, and the sixth angle area serves as an agricultural area.
In addition, there is a core area surrounding the main building, mainly the control center, power center, and condensed matter shield generator are also installed on the top of the main building.
The condensed matter shield generator can cover an area with a radius of about 16 kilometers. This refers to the coverage range of a single high-power condensed matter shield generator. One unit can protect an area of 8o3 square kilometers.
These are just preliminary plans. It is expected that by the end of this year, Dongfanghong Base will control the entire Kravis Crater and form a lunar city with one main base and six sub-bases.
There are also plans to build a lunar mass projector in the equatorial area of the near side of the moon. The specific location is in the Ptolemaic crater near the central bay.
Ptolemaic crater is a nearly circular crater with a diameter of about 180 kilometers and a total area of about 25,400 square kilometers.
For these huge projects, it is not possible to rely solely on Blue Star blood transfusions. The lunar base must be partially self-sufficient.
For example, the space smelting process has been almost improved. The minerals on Iron Star 1 are now used for a large number of tests. The minerals are ionized through nn-8-1 neutron ionization, and then the required elements are separated and magnetically
The methods of fluid electricity and thermoelectricity recover heat energy while reducing vacuum heat accumulation.
This "thermal energy recovery ion smelting system" can currently successfully separate 21 elemental elements such as iron, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, gold, platinum, titanium, aluminum, etc., and the energy consumption is only equivalent to 6o-7o% of ordinary electric furnace smelting.
about.
Coupled with the cheap electricity from nuclear fusion electricity, this is the correct way to open it.
The lunar base will form its own hematopoiesis of basic materials, such as standard cabin sealing partitions used to build the base, building materials for ground structures, etc., which will be produced by the lunar base itself.
Blue Star is only responsible for precision instruments, electronic equipment, etc. This will help maximize the benefits of the Blue Star mass projector system and avoid using precious transportation capacity to transport building materials.
…
After reading the plan, Chang An quickly took Zhu Gang and the others to install the nuclear fusion battery into the power supply cabin that had been prepared. After Fang Haibo pulled the switch, the entire base's power was turned into a nuclear fusion battery.
The next step is to install the condensed shield generator, which is installed on the top of the main control cabin.
"Is Haibo connected to the power supply?" Chang An shouted through the shortwave intercom inside the spacesuit.
"It has been installed and can be tested." Fang Haibo replied.
Chang An immediately spoke to Song Quansheng in the main control cabin through the intercom: "Quansheng, activate the condensed matter shield, power 5%."
"receive."
Like a lotus flower blooming, the condensed matter shield quickly formed, covering everything within 8oo with the main control cabin as the center.
After some testing, they chose 3% power to completely cover the base within a radius of 48o meters.
This sense of security allowed Chang An and the four of them to finally relax and have a good sleep.
Zhu Gang returned to his lounge and quickly sent an email to his girlfriend Lin Jingping before going to bed.
[Dear, I have couriered the Yueyan souvenirs back to Blue Star today. They will arrive in Shanghai around the 10th. You can ask Ning Xin to pick up the courier then.
Today we installed the shield and Dongfanghong Base has become a safe base. I very much look forward to you setting foot on the moon with me.
Everything is fine with me, don’t worry about me, you have to take care of yourself...]
After writing the email, he clicked send, but due to communication delays, it took at least three seconds for the Blue Star ground to receive the email, which spanned 360,000 kilometers.
At this time, it was a June night when the moon and stars were sparse. After Lin Jingping saw the email, she quickly replied to Zhu Gang, and then she silently looked at the bright moon.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!" After a while of coughing, a sweet smell surged into his throat. Lin Jingping quickly entered the room and took some tissues on the bedside table.
As soon as she wiped the white paper towel, it was stained red with blood. Lin Jingping smiled bitterly. The effect of chemotherapy was very poor. She didn't know if her body could support it until October.
I really want to see my lover one last time. Why does fate always like to play tricks on people? She thought sadly.
Lin Jingping, who was tortured by the disease and turned pale and haggard, fantasized about a bright future with Zhu Gang, getting married and having children and growing old together, and she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
