Interstellar Industrial Age

Chapter 173, Moon Nuggets IV

The distance between the earth and the moon is nearly 400,000 kilometers. For such a long distance, even the speed of the 'Lushan' spacecraft at this time is as high as 40 kilometers per second, but in the starry sky, it still seems to be stepping at the origin, without Go forward a little.

And the distance between the earth and the moon is nothing compared to the vast universe. Even if it is placed in the solar system, it is a very insignificant distance.

Humanity still has a very long way to go.

On the 'Lushan' spacecraft, Captain Wu Renjie woke up from his sleep and looked at the time, which was 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

He really didn't have any sleepiness, and he was very excited when he was in space once.

Looking forward, at this time, I can see the bits and pieces on the moon very clearly. The moon without atmosphere can clearly see everything on the moon from space.

"That's the Moon Palace Base~"

In his mind, he was already familiar with the lunar map, and through a comparison, it was easy to find the 'Moon Palace' base located in the Ocean of Storms area.

The Moon Palace Base is now very large, like a small city, continuous, even on Earth, if the weather is good, the Moon Palace Base can be seen clearly with an astronomical telescope at night.

Looking back at the direction of the earth, the earth is like a beautiful sapphire standing quietly in the void, very beautiful, so that everyone who sees it must be amazed.

"Om~Om~"

Soon, a burst of bells came from the spacecraft, and the ground control center on the earth side woke up everyone in the spacecraft on time.

It's about to reach the moon, and some are busy next.

The 'Lushan' spacecraft did not slow down and flew towards the moon.

With an anti-gravity engine, it doesn't matter if you slow down or not. When you first landed on the moon, you slowed down slowly for safety reasons, and relied on the lunar gravitational capture to land on the moon.

However, all subsequent spacecraft to and from the moon did not decelerate, and slammed into the moon directly, then started the anti-gravity engine and landed directly on the moon.

The advantage of this is that it saves time and fuel.

The process of deceleration is very slow, and it also requires a lot of fuel. Flying directly over, the speed is fast, and it relies on inertial flight, which greatly saves time and fuel.

"Drip~"

It was getting closer and closer to the moon, and soon, the 'Lushan' spacecraft began to connect to the all-moon positioning communication system established by Huaxia on the side of the moon.

"Welcome to the Moon~"

The Moon Palace Base quickly welcomed the arrival of the 'Lushan'.

"Thank you~"

Wu Renjie expressed his gratitude on behalf of the "Lushan". Looking at the increasingly huge moon in his field of vision, Wu Renjie became nervous.

At this time, the speed of the spacecraft is 40 kilometers per second. If the anti-gravity engine does not work properly, then the spacecraft will hit the moon like a comet, and the result will be self-evident.

Fortunately, there was no problem with the antigravity engine on the spacecraft. When it was pulled by the moon's gravity, the spacecraft's engine began to work automatically.

Under the action of a powerful anti-gravity engine, the speed of the spacecraft is rapidly reduced, and the closer it is to the moon, the slower its speed.

The 'Lushan' spacecraft is like a light feather, without a trace of weight, flying lightly on the surface of the moon.

Tranquil Sea is one of the many basins on the moon. It is located in the center of the moon and covers an area of ​​about 420,000 square kilometers.

Historically, this Tranquil Sea has actually been visited by humans. Last time, in the US Apollo program, Tranquility Sea was the landing site of Apollo 11 on the moon, and Armstrong's first moon landing was also in Tranquility Sea.

The subsequent Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 landings on the moon were also placed in the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

Of course, the Chinese who own the Moon Palace base on the moon have already explored many important areas on the moon, and Jinghai is no exception.

In the sky of the Sea of ​​Tranquility on the Moon, the 'Lushan' spacecraft was still drifting slowly, flying towards the predetermined location.

"Whoo~"

In the spaceship, Wu Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his palms, and then looked at the moon's sign. He seemed very excited, and he was about to land on the moon.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

"Arrived at the predetermined location, the spacecraft began to land~"

On the 'Lushan' spacecraft, a voice sounded, and then the 'Lushan' spacecraft began to slowly descend towards the ground.

Wu Renjie looked around. This is a very wide and flat area, which is very suitable for the landing of spaceships. There is a hill not far away. The hill leaves a shadow under the sunlight. The mining base will be placed in the area. shadow area.

Because there is no atmosphere, no water and no oceans, the temperature difference on the surface of the moon is very large. At high temperatures, it can reach hundreds of degrees, and at night, it can drop to below zero and hundreds of degrees.

Such a huge temperature difference is definitely a very severe test.

Of course, for scientists, in fact, low temperature can be better accepted. If the temperature is too high, it is definitely a very scary thing, so when building the base, you must choose the shadow area of ​​the hill. Reduce daytime high temperatures.

In fact, the most ideal base is to build a base under the moon, preferably a base in a mountain, but this workload is too large, and it is not realistic in the early stage.

"Height 20 meters~"

"Height 10 meters~"

As the altitude continued to decrease, the wheels on the 'Lushan' spacecraft slowly opened, and then landed steadily on the moon.

"Yeah~"

In the Huangping Town Xinghe Aerospace Industrial Base, the control command center, when the 'Lushan' spacecraft landed on the moon very smoothly, everyone couldn't help cheering.

All the hanging hearts were also put down heavily.

"Whoo~"

Qin Yi smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, everything went well.

"Humph~"

On the moon, the huge hatch of the 'Lushan' spacecraft slowly opened, and Wu Renjie stepped on the land of the moon for the first time in a space suit.

Although Li Haiyang did not attract the attention of the world as he did when he landed on the moon a few months ago, and there were live broadcasts by major TV stations around the world, but for Wu Renjie himself, the moment he stepped on the moon, a wish in his heart was regarded as finished.

The intense work has begun~

After all, they came to the moon to mine, not to travel to the moon.

The three lunar mining vehicles slowly drove out of the 'Lushan' spacecraft and drove towards the shadowed area of ​​the hill not far away, and began to carefully inspect and explore this area to ensure that the The soil will not collapse.

In the spaceship, everyone was also very busy, and began to move things out of the spaceship.

It is said to be moving, but in fact there is no need to move it at all. Although the gravitational force of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, everyone on the moon is a strong man, and can easily lift hundreds of pounds of heavy things.

But there are mechanical arms on the spaceship and in the huge belly. Just using the mind machine to control these mechanical arms can easily transport everything in the spaceship.

The miscellaneous things have been transported, the mechanical arms and seat belts that fix the three-story building base have also been untied, and the three mining vehicles have also completed the exploration work and came to the spaceship.

Pulled by three mining trucks, the base of the three-story building was slowly removed from the huge belly of the spacecraft, and then slowly consigned to the area that had been explored and planned.

In the planned area, three mining vehicles have drilled a lot of holes in an irregular manner. The mining base has wheels and is easy to move. After the mining of this mine is completed in the future, you can continue to use the lunar mining vehicle to drag it to the ground. Other areas continue to be mined and used repeatedly to save costs as much as possible.

The position of the mining base kept turning, and soon the position was completely aligned, and then a pillar from the mining base was inserted into the hole that had already been drilled.

With these pillars fixed, even if the mining base is fixed, when it is about to move, it is only necessary to stow these pillars and drag the mining base with a mining truck to move it.

Very convenient, practical, very simple and useful.

"Whoo~"

After a lot of work, the mining base was officially settled on the moon.

Wu Renjie entered the mining base, took off his bloated spacesuit, and felt relieved for a while.

Everything on the moon side is transmitted back to the earth side through the surveillance cameras one by one. When the lunar base officially settled on the moon, the control center once again broke out with warm applause.

Things went very smoothly, everything was as designed and planned by the scientists and engineers, and there were no problems.

After the lunar mining base is settled, it means that the lunar gold nugget plan has been successful in half, and the next step is to transport the smelting factory to the moon to start mining on the moon.

PS: Some book friends mentioned the ring factory, which is a good idea~~
