Hand rubbing nuclear fusion live in the wilderness

Chapter 533 Chang'e Stone and Moon Rabbit Gold

The discovery of more than [-] billion tons of lunar ice caused Won to temporarily revise his follow-up plan.

After handing over the lunar water in his hand to an X-1 industrial robot for testing, he called Xiaoqi who was still on the mission again.

"Xiao Qi, how much computing power do you have left?"

In the laboratory, Han Yuan called Xiao Qi and asked, if there is still enough computing power, the construction of the moon base can also start.

"The current computing power is 30.00% [-]. Does the master have any new tasks?"

Xiao Qi's voice soon rang out during the experiment, and Han Yuan was a little surprised when he heard the answer.

He didn't expect Xiao Qi to have so much extra calculation power left.

Computing power is related to Xiaoqi's intelligence and the performance of the supercomputer in Taishan Base.

Although he couldn't accurately judge Xiaoqi's remaining computing power, it was clear how much he had used.

After all, every task performed by Xiao Qi is an order given by him, such as the construction of spaceships, space operations, calculation of star orbits, and information collection are basically tasks that require a lot of computing power.

According to his general judgment, Xiaoqi's computing power is at most about 20.00% left, but unexpectedly, there is still a full 30.00% Qi left.

It's almost double what he judged. It seems that whether it's Xiao Qi's intelligence or the supercomputer in Taishan Base, the performance is much higher than he originally expected.

But that's good too, I was planning to divide part of the computer array on the Zero Base side for Xiao Qi's use, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

Dividing a computer array is a very troublesome thing. Once this thing is established,

After confirming that Xiao Qi can take over the task of building a base on the moon, Han Yuan said: "Xiao Qi, I will give you another task."

"Build a base around the piece of lunar ice you discovered. The base doesn't need to be too big, and the area can accommodate the normal living needs of ten people."

"What materials do you need? You can get it yourself. The construction time is one year. The blueprints are in the central computer. You can get a suitable one and give it to me."

He has the technology to build a base on the moon, and there is a complete set of related drawings in the primary aerospace knowledge information.

Because of entering the outer space exploration mission, Han Yuan also read some things in this knowledge information.

A base like the one he said that can accommodate the normal living needs of ten people is nothing in the primary aerospace knowledge information.

The best information in this piece of information should belong to the blueprint information for the establishment of a super-large space station.

Some people may wonder, isn't it the space station?No matter how big it is, where can it go?
If he had read the information of this super large space station, he would not have said so.

Ordinary space stations are indeed not that big.

But what about a space station that can accommodate nearly 10 people?
This can be said to be a small city, okay?

Moreover, the most important function of a space station is not for human habitation. Its main function is various scientific research purposes and the supply of space resources.

For spaceflight, the most fuel-consuming process is not actually the process of space travel, but the distance from the planet's gravity.

For example, the fuel needed to launch a space shuttle from the earth to Mars and accelerate it to the second cosmic speed to escape from the earth exceeds half of the total fuel.

If the performance and thrust of the engine are half, or if the load is too heavy, its proportion can reach [-]%, [-]%, or even more than [-]%.

Saturn 5, the carrier rocket built in human history, weighs less than 3408 tons without fuel, but has a total thrust of 45 tons, a carrying capacity of 118 tons in lunar orbit, and [-] tons in low-earth orbit.

In other words, it took off with a load of nearly 3500 tons, but in fact 3000 tons were the weight of the fuel it carried.

And for the 2300 tons of fuel, the first-stage main thruster occupies [-] tons.

The 2300 tons of fuel can only push the speed of the Saturn V to more than 700 meters per second when it is exhausted and separated.

It can be seen that the consumption is huge.

But if there is a super-large space station in low-Earth orbit, or even a Lagrangian point, that can replenish fuel and materials for the spacecraft.

The voyage distance of the spacecraft can be extended several times or even dozens of times.

If this super-large space station can support the take-off and landing of spacecraft like an aircraft carrier supports the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, it is possible that the voyage distance can even reach hundreds of times.

This is one of the main uses of a space station.

Of course, so do the residents.

"Okay, master."

After his order was issued, Xiao Qi's voice sounded immediately.

This is the benefit of having a super intelligent artificial intelligence.

He doesn't need to specify detailed task details at all, he only needs to say a rough range and prepare relevant drawing materials, and the artificial intelligence will consider everything.

After handing over the task of building a base on the moon to Xiaoqi,
Won immediately invested in research and experiments on lunar soil and lunar water.

The first thing to do is naturally to test various components.

One is related to the mission of the system, and the other is related to whether the lunar ice can be used by humans.

It should not be difficult to find a material from the lunar soil that simulates that there is no substance on the earth.

After all, countries have already obtained a large amount of lunar soil and moon rocks. During the Cold War, the United States brought back hundreds of kilograms of lunar soil.

So what is in the lunar soil has basically been thoroughly studied.

As far as it is concerned, there are four kinds of substances that have been announced and do not exist on the earth.

Unless he was too unlucky and the lunar soil he brought back did not contain these things at all, he could complete the side mission of 'resource collection' by relying on the lunar soil alone.

As for why the moon soil can complete the mission, but the soil of these planets must be collected from Venus, Mars, and Mercury, it is for the extra reward of the side mission of "resource collection".

After all, the extra rewards of this side mission are determined according to the number of types collected.

With the passage of time, the analysis of the components in the lunar soil gradually came out, and the components are quite complicated.

Plagioclase, perilla pyroxene, enstatite, titanium pyroxene, perovskite, ilmenite, olivine, calcium jadeite, potassium feldspar.
Various mineral phases were detected in the two boxes of lunar rocks and lunar soil collected by the lunar rover.

It can be said that the types are very rich and have high research value.

In addition, Won is more concerned about the volatile components in these lunar soils and lunar rocks.

Nitrogen salts, organic matter, chlorine salts, fluorine salts, water in the hydroxyl state, helium-4, helium-3, although the content of these volatilized in lunar rocks is not very high, only a few parts per million to a few parts per million, but The purity of various volatile components is quite good, and it is very easy to collect.

It only needs to be extracted by means of heating or pressure release, and then separated and purified for use in industry or energy.

However, because the content is too low, if you really want to obtain various minerals from lunar soil, you need to build a large-scale processing plant, which is more difficult.

But for some minerals that have very little or no content on the earth, it is still worth it.

Such as helium-3 and helium-4.

Needless to say about Helium-[-], anyone who has watched his live broadcast knows what it is. This thing is the third generation of fusion material for controllable nuclear fusion.

In addition, there are many other industrial uses of helium three, such as the ultra-low temperature of liquid helium three, which is minus 270 degrees.

In high-precision instruments and equipment such as large-scale strong particle colliders and controllable nuclear fusion reactors, many parts use helium three to reduce the temperature.

As for helium-4, many people may not know this thing.

The nucleus of helium-4 is composed of two protons and two neutrons, and its spin quantum number is 0, which is a kind of boson.

Helium-4 has the property that it becomes 'superfluid' below 2.17K, or 270.98°C.

A superfluid is a state of matter characterized by a complete lack of viscosity.

If a superfluid is placed in a ring-shaped container, since there is no friction, it can flow endlessly, pass through its tiny microtubes with zero resistance, and even "drip" upward from the bowl. while escaping from the container.

This is a 'mathematically ideal' fluid with peculiar properties.

In terms of its main application, there are not many people who understand and apply it at present, and because it is quite difficult to produce, there are not many people who study it.

In the eyes of South Korean won, the value of helium-4 is not weaker than that of helium-3.

The first is the quantum computer, because helium-4 can reversibly switch between the gas superfluid state and the insulating state, it can be used in the manufacture of quantum computers.

It is one of the basic materials to realize a quantum computer exchange calculation.

In addition, in Won's view, the greatest value of helium-4 may be in the study of the universe.

I don’t know if anyone has thought about why the light of stars that are tens of billions of light years away or even at the edge of the universe can travel to the earth through such a long distance?
Is it simply because the universe is a vacuum?
I'm afraid not.

When Won studied the standard model of the universe and the cosmic data collected by the No. [-] outer space infrared telescope some time ago, it was found that the vacuum of the universe does not seem to be so empty.

If it is purely a vacuum environment in the traditional sense, it is impossible to make electromagnetic waves and radiation across a long distance of tens of billions of light years.

In his observations, the vacuum of the universe seems to have a rather strange property.

It does not have any viscosity, that is to say, neither light particles, bosons, nor neutrinos and other substances will stay in the vacuum of the universe.

Only with this characteristic can it support the radiation of light tens of billions of light years away.

And this characteristic is almost the same as that of helium-4 in a superfluid state.

In its superfluid state, helium-4 is completely devoid of viscosity, and thanks to the absence of friction, it can flow endlessly without losing energy.

It's as if you broke a thermometer in your home and the mercury in it fell onto the ceramic floor.

At this time, whether you use toilet paper or something, it is difficult to get it up, and the surface is as smooth as the absolute smoothness in mathematics.

Through these won, I feel that space-time may be some kind of superfluid, and things like photons and radiations will not produce any reaction when they move in space-time.

If this speculation and idea can be demonstrated, it can include a whole century of Nobel Prizes.

As time passed, a week passed, and the preliminary research on the three materials of lunar soil, lunar rock, and lunar water came to an end.

Won conducted a very detailed and systematic research on the samples brought back from the moon through various sophisticated equipment.

Overall, the vast majority of minerals that make up lunar rocks are indistinguishable from those on Earth.

Five kinds of minerals that have not been found on the earth previously discovered by various countries, such as Jinghai stone, iron clinopyroxene, and low-iron pseudoplate titanium minerals, were also found in the lunar soil and lunar rocks in his hands.

At this point, the basic task of the outer space exploration mission branch chain task [-] 'resource collection' has been completed.

The requirement of the "resource collection" task is to collect at least one element that is not found on the simulated earth. The scope of this element is broad, as long as it is something that does not exist on the earth, it can be used to complete the task.

However, the completion of the basic task does not mean that the additional task of "resource collection" has also been completed.

The rewards of extra tasks are determined according to the type of elements collected, that is, the more types of non-earth elements collected, the more rewards.

On this basis, Won will naturally not let go of every discovery.

Under continuous testing, in addition to the species of minerals that humans have previously discovered on the lunar soil, Han Yuan has also found two other minerals that do not exist on the earth.

A phosphate mineral with a columnar crystal structure found in lunar regolith and lunar rocks.

The other is a titanium-chromium-aluminum crystal mineral with an orthorhombic structure, which is only found in lunar rocks collected in a specific area.

These two minerals were not named because they were brand new minerals, and the task of ordering naturally fell on Won.

There have been many naming work before, and Han Yuan is not very interested in this kind of thing, so after briefly introducing the information of these two minerals, he handed over the naming work to the audience in the live broadcast room.

This moment excited the audience in the live broadcast room. Barrages and gifts flew all over the place, making it very lively.

[name?I like this, let me think about it! 】

[Let me come, let me come, I am the best at naming names! 】

[Since the first one is a phosphate mineral, let’s call it Moon-Phosphate Ore, and the second one is Titanium-Chromite, so it’s called Moon-Tichrome-Aluminum Crystal Ore. 】

【. . . . . 】

[Upstairs you might as well not take your name, what's the point of adding a month to the prefix?This is also called will be named? 】

[The first one is an ordinary ore, how about it’s called Chang’e Stone, and the second one is a metal, how about it’s called Moon Rabbit Gold? 】

[Chang'e Stone, Moon Rabbit Gold? 】

[This name seems to be okay?The moon has belonged to China since ancient times, and the names Chang'e and Moon Rabbit have been passed down from ear to ear. 】

[Then there is also the Guanghan Palace and the osmanthus tree. 】

[Isn't the anchor going to build a base?The base is called Guanghan Palace. As for the osmanthus tree, there is no other way. 】

[But, but the Guanghan Palace is a girl! 】

[Pfft~, the anchor should go to Thailand, otherwise I really can't imagine what kind of scene it is like for a big man to live in Guanghan Palace. 】
