Chapter 400 Exploring the Moon
Therefore, analyzing from the current situation, due to the huge reserves of helium 3 on the moon, it is very attractive to the earth, which is currently in short supply of energy, and the Great China Empire. one of the main purposes.

In fact, in the middle and late part of the last century, the Arctic country and the beautiful country at that time carried out several consecutive moon landing activities, and successfully brought back many precious first-hand mineral samples from the moon, which was also the first time in human history. It is the first time to land on a planet other than the earth. Although this is only a natural satellite of the earth, the achievements of these two countries in the field of human spaceflight cannot be denied at that time.

Therefore, since the Colorful Stone Group has developed an aerospace plane in such a resource-rich place, they naturally cannot miss it.

"Boss! We have already started preparations in this regard. In the early stage, we plan to launch some probes there first. After all, if we do not conduct detection first, it is unrealistic to rashly carry out a manned landing on the moon. Although the moon is rich in resources, However, it’s not the moon either. All local resources are like this. Like the earth, the moon’s resources are abundant and scarce, so we must first launch some exploration satellites to conduct preliminary exploration on the distribution of the earth’s resources. First hand the distribution of resources on the moon, and then build lunar bases in places with mining value." Xiang Juncai said.

After hearing Xiang Juncai's words, Zhang Yi nodded, expressing his agreement with Xiang Juncai's words.

In the following period of time, the "Bawanggun" aerospace plane of the Colorful Stone Group went back and forth between space and the ground almost every day, and the "Nantianmen" space station established by the Colorful Stone Group also expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the official of the Dahua Empire also announced its own space station plan, as well as the moon base plan. The plan is also a plan that exceeds the "Nantianmen" space station of the Colorful Stone Group. This plan is officially called the "Tianting" space station plan by the Dahua Empire. The entire plan is expected to take 10 years.

The space station officially planned by the Dahua Empire is also a ring-shaped space station, because with the current human technology, it is still impossible to achieve real artificial gravity. Without artificial gravity, human beings simply cannot survive in space for a long time, so The best way that human beings can achieve with current technology is to adopt the method of rotating gravity.

Therefore, the official space station of the Dahua Empire is also a circular space station, but its scale is far larger than that of the Colorful Stone Group. The diameter of the entire space station will reach about 5 kilometers. The space station is like a wheel suspended in space.

Time flies, only two months, at this time, the construction of the first ring section of the "Nantianmen" space station of Qicaishi Group has been completed. Of course, this ring is the innermost ring of the entire space station. It is also the smallest ring.

You must know that the "Nantianmen" space station of the Colorful Stone Group is composed of nine rings, the innermost one is the core module of the space station, and the second is the first ring.

It is precisely because the diameter of the first ring is the smallest, the diameter is only about 150, and even the cabins on this ring are the smallest in the entire space station, and the diameter of each cabin is only 8 meters. The cabin sections can be assembled directly on the ground, and then put into the aerospace plane and directly taken into space, so they can be completed in just two months, but the subsequent construction will not be so fast. After all, the first ring The diameter of the first ring is only 150 meters, and the diameter of the second ring will reach as much as 500 meters. At the same time, the diameter of each cabin section of the second ring will also greatly increase. At that time, the diameter of each cabin section of the space station The diameter will reach 20 meters, so it cannot be assembled on the ground at all, and can only be assembled in space. Although the space station has been modularized through the efforts of Xiang Juncai and others, it still needs manual assembly of the space station of.

Since the first ring in space has been completed, there are already Qicaishi Group's scientific research and astronauts working in the "Nantianmen" space station at this time.

"Boss! The "Clairvoyance" cosmic and celestial resource detector has been prepared. Is the launch going according to plan?" Chen Zhichao's voice came from the space ground command center.

"Well! Execute the mission according to the plan!" Standing in front of the virtual reality device in the command center, Zhang Yi nodded and said.

The so-called "clairvoyance" cosmic celestial resource detector is a small satellite specially developed by their Qicaishi Group to detect the distribution of various planetary resources in the universe. This time, the "clairvoyance" cosmic celestial resource detector, The task to be performed is to detect the distribution of lunar resources.

After hearing Zhang Yi's answer, in the geostationary orbit of the earth, an unmanned probe with a diameter of about two meters and a length of ten meters slowly left the "Nantianmen" space station of the Colorful Stone Group, and slowly moved towards Flying in the direction of the moon, of course this is only a relative term, but after the probe left the space station, it began to accelerate.

Although the diameter of this detector is only two meters, and the length is only ten meters, but because the energy source of the detector is the same as that of the aerospace plane, it uses nuclear reactors to provide electricity and water as fuel, so the speed of the detector is very high. It's fast, even faster than the aerospace plane of the Colorful Stone Group. According to the design data, this detector can reach nearly a hundred times the speed of sound in the universe at the fastest.

The distance between the earth and the tone is about 38 kilometers, and it will take about five or six hours for the "Clairvoyance" space resource detector to reach it.

Of course, if the probe keeps moving at the highest speed, it doesn't need such a long time at all, but it takes such a long time because it takes time to accelerate and decelerate.

The "Clairvoyance" cosmic celestial resource detector is equipped with the highest detection equipment of various communication technology resources for human beings. It can transmit various detected data in real time.

Six hours later, at this time, the "Clairvoyance" space astronomical resource probe had arrived near the moon and began to fly around the moon.

On the virtual display of the ground space command center, the real-time image of the moon that has been pierced by the "clairvoyance" is clearly displayed on it.

Although it is said that the moon seen is very beautiful, it is actually not the case. The moon is full of potholes, and there are large and small craters everywhere, which can be said to be riddled with holes.
