Chapter 56 Progress

"0.7 meters of lunar soil is added to the gap between the inner and outer walls to further enhance the ability to resist radiation, solar wind and meteorite impacts."

"Invest one hundred thousand energy points and start the internal structure simulation..." Du Xingyu continued to improve the blueprint of the lunar base.

As a base, the most basic thing is the life support system. Du Xingyu was already familiar with the design of this system and completed the design of the life support system after several failures.

"Work area, scientific research area, medical area, production area..." Du Xingyu designed and modified the blueprint.

In his vision, the lunar base will become the first stop for the earth to go into space, so it must be large in scale and may even develop into a small city.

At the beginning of the design, only the necessary parts for life support and work and scientific research were made, and other parts were added when conditions were mature.

"When the base is relatively small, solar panels can provide sufficient energy... But if lunar minerals are to be produced, a nuclear power plant must be established on the moon..."

"There are frequent trips between the moon, the Tiangong Space Station, and the Earth, so the lunar space port must also be designed in advance."

"The first industrial area should be the lunar mine... ore excavation, mining, refining plant..."

The more the design, the more complex Du Xingyu found. A lunar base involves too many parts. Even if he had a simulator, it would be impossible to complete it in a short time.

It seems that some people have been very busy these past few months!

A few hours later, Du Xingyu returned home.

"Dr. Du, there are many people here at your house." Driver Yue Chen said, "Your city leaders, the Academy of Sciences, and some of your relatives."

"I knew it..." Du Xingyu sighed slightly. He had concealed his itinerary, but his family had to know that he was going home.

When these people heard the news, they came directly to visit him at his home.

"Please help me stay out of the way later. I'm really not in the mood to talk to them!" Du Xingyu said to Yue Chen and others.

"No problem, we'll take care of it!" His three bodyguards agreed. Among them was Shangguan Zihan, a female bodyguard who also served as a female secretary. He was very skilled in handling this kind of thing.

As soon as Du Xingyu's car entered the community, someone already went to notify him.

Downstairs of his home, the leaders of the city came to greet him and said with a smile: "Our aerospace hero has returned home! On behalf of our city, I warmly welcome..."

"Haha..." Du Xingyu smiled awkwardly and said a few words. Shangguan Zihan next to him quickly said: "Dr. Du hasn't slept for more than ten hours. He needs to take good care of his body now... Everyone, if you have You can tell me anything and I will coordinate!"

"Yes, yes, let Dr. Du go and rest quickly!"

A group of people said something to each other, and it took a lot of effort for Du Xingyu to get home. The relatives were quite sensible. Seeing that Du Xingyu was too busy, they had already withdrawn and said they would come back to visit in a few days.

"Hey, it's finally quiet!" Du Xingyu sighed as he lay on the sofa.

"I've seen it!" Du Zekang was also very tired. When Du Xingyu was famous before, many people came to the house and they were still able to refuse. But recently there were too many big shots coming, and it was difficult for him to refuse them, which made him very tired.

"You should go home less often in the future." Li Rong said, "Your father and I will visit you in the future. Anyway, you have a house in the capital."

"Yes, this is a good idea." Du Zekang said, "If this happens every time, my bones will be broken!"

"I asked the secretary to push all these things away, saying that I was recuperating my health and could not see guests." Du Xingyu said.

"Okay, let's rest at home for a while. It's harder to see you than to meet the provincial leaders!" Li Rong complained.

In the days that followed, Du Xingyu stayed at home and continued to simulate and design the lunar base. Even if you really have to go out, you must wear a hat and mask to avoid being recognized.

During his vacation, others were not idle.

First, the Americans launched the lunar landing spacecraft "Starship" of the Artemis project. The Blue Moon lunar lander carried by the starship successfully landed on the moon.

The Stars and Stripes were once again planted on the surface of the moon, and the entire United States celebrated. The stock prices of the three American space companies involved in the Artemis return to the moon program, Blue Origin, SpaceX and United Launch Alliance Rockets, continue to rise.

There is a space craze in the entire United States!

NASA also announced the follow-up mission of Project Artemis. They will send astronauts to stay on the lunar surface for a long time and build a lunar base.

After the United States landed on the moon, the Russian Space Agency relied on the heritage left over from the Soviet era to successfully land on the moon.

The European Space Agency is still working hard to build rockets and lunar spacecrafts, and other countries are also trying to find ways to do so.

The China Space Administration is also making constant moves, and construction of new rockets, aerospace planes, and lunar spacecraft has begun.

The plan for the lunar base was also approved, and Du Xingyu held video conferences with the team every day to communicate and modify the plan.

"Du Gong, our Canglong reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle has successfully tested." In front of the computer, Du Xingyu was having a video conference with the technical team of Xingyao Space Technology.

As a consultant of Xingyao Company, whenever they have any problems, Du Xingyu will help them find a solution.

Because of the successful development of the Xingzhou aerospace plane, Xingyao is favored by the majority of capital, and its development in one year now exceeds that of the previous ten years!

"Very good, you did a great job!" Du Xingyu praised. Although Canglong is not nuclear-powered, its load-carrying capacity has exceeded that of the Long March 5 and the new Falcon 9. In the current field of commercial rockets, it can be called Big brother!

"Not only the Canglong rocket, our Xingyao-1 space plane, which is a replica of the Xingzhou space plane, has also been completed." In the video, Wang Wei said excitedly, "Now our company has its own commercial rocket and commercial It’s a space plane!”

"It's really not easy in such a short time!" Du Xingyu said with emotion.

"Haha, junior brother, this is all due to you." Dong Jiangbo, the president of Xingyao, said with a smile, "We are just copying the gourd and imitating your design."

"Now I plan to cooperate with the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation to develop commercial space station modules and participate in the construction of lunar bases. What do you think?" he asked.

"Of course!" Du Xingyu said, "Brother, this is definitely a sure-profit investment. Once the lunar base is built, space flights will be established between the earth and the moon, not only for mining, industry, and space medical treatment, but also for Various other commercial activities can be carried out. If you participate now, you have bought your spaceship ticket in advance!"

"Yes, I think so too!" Dong Jiangbo agreed.

Everyone chatted for a while, and the video conference ended. Dong Jiangbo went to Du Xingyu's video alone again and said, "Junior brother, I still have something to do. I want to trouble you to see if you have time recently."

Thanks to Tao Zi who loves rice, has no bad temper, and gave 20~62 for the reward.
