The Start Of Technology Live Broadcast To Build Rockets

Chapter 55 – Moon base design

“Dr. Du, you are in good health. It’s just a little tired. Just rest for a few days.” When Du Xingyu woke up, the beautiful medical lady on the side said.

“Thank you.” Du Xingyu thanked him.

The young lady next to the doctor and nurse said but stopped, Du Xingyu curiously asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Well, can we take a photo together?” the young lady nurse asked expectantly.

“Of course.” Du Xingyu agreed, took a photo with her, and signed her.

“Thank you!” The medical lady was so excited that she would post a bunch of people like it on her Moments and post it on her social account, I’m afraid there will be tens of thousands of people like it and follow her!

Du Xingyu was originally a scientist and a big Internet celebrity, but now he has become the first person to land on the moon in China, and an idol that young people admire. Many people are envious of contacting him.

Du Xingyu tidied up and went to the space agency.

The completion of the moon landing is only the beginning of the lunar plan. First of all, a meeting was held in the bureau to discuss the development plan of the moon.

“According to the news we got.” Cao Liang said, “The United States and Russia should both be able to land on the moon this year. The European Space Agency and ISSA will try to land on the moon next year, and India should also try to land on the moon in two years.”

Needless to say, the aerospace capabilities of the United States, Russia and Europe firmly occupy the forefront of the world.

The space power of the island countries and India is not weak. Although the island countries have not planned to land on the moon before, they are launching rockets and spacecraft to explore outer space every year.

As for the Indian Space Agency, it has received help from the European, American and Russian space agencies and successfully launched the Mars rover as early as 2013. Although the lunar rover crashed, they cannot be underestimated.

“To develop the moon, we must be one step ahead!” He Jingcheng said, “There are rich mineral resources on the moon, such as precious rare earths and helium 3, which will definitely become the focus of competition among countries. If you develop the moon earlier, you can explore and develop ahead of time. These precious resources.”

Rare earths are essential resources for high-tech industries such as electronics, lasers, and nuclear industries. They are rare all over the world and belong to strategic-level materials!

And helium 3 is even more remarkable. It is one of the isotopes of helium. When helium 3 is used as a nuclear fusion energy source, there is almost no radiation pollution, which is a cleaner energy source.

Helium 3 will be an important raw material for the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology! On the moon, its content is much higher than that of the earth!(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Moon development, in the final analysis, depends on who can establish a base on the moon first!” Du Xingyu said, “Without a base, geological exploration and resource development are all castles in the sky.”

No matter how precious the resources of the moon are, it takes a lot of time, energy and funds to go back and forth between the earth and the moon. This is also the reason why the Americans suspended the Apollo mission to the moon.

Only by having a base on the moon, directly settled on the moon, and engaged in development, construction and mining, can we reduce these sky-high cost losses.

“I suggest that after a full overhaul of the Xingkong 2 and Lunar Sky, we should go to the moon again immediately. Send six astronauts with engineering expertise to stay on the surface of the moon for more than half a year, and gradually build a lunar base.”

“In addition, based on the existing drawings, we will continue to manufacture nuclear-powered rockets and spacecraft. The rockets and spacecraft to and from the moon and the Tiangong space station will be added to a space fleet!” Liu Yuan proposed.

“It can be considered.” Cao Liang did not refuse. After the development of recoverable rockets and spacecraft, the cost of manufacturing rockets and spacecraft has been reduced by 90%!

You know, before Du Xingyu entered the space agency, these money-burning gadgets were all disposable items! Destroy after use!

In these few launch missions, except for newly manufactured aerospace products, everything else was reused, and the launch cost was actually lower than before.

Maybe in a few years, when the aerospace equipment can be produced on an assembly line, the cost of the space trip will be reduced even further! Du Xingyu couldn’t help but think of Xingyao. If you want to produce space products on an assembly line, you still have to rely on a space commercial company.

“Now we still have a problem. The cave-like lunar base is just the initial state.” Du Xingyu said, “To achieve the desired effect, we need to design and manufacture a more advanced lunar base.”

“I agree.” He Jingcheng nodded first.

“The lunar base project should be established!” Xiong Ming said, “Earth-space station-lunar base, built at three points, our outer space system can be completed.”

“I think I need to discuss this with the military. They are also very interested in the moon base and should be willing to pay.” Lu Hong said.

“Anyway, we make a preliminary plan ourselves, and the approval will take a certain amount of time.” Cao Liang said, “First set up a team, I think it will be led by a few academicians and experts.”

Of course, Du Xingyu is also a member of the moon base program.

However, the first phase of the work does not require him to do it. The Space Agency specially approved him a two-month vacation, allowing him to go home, rest and recuperate.

They also know that Du Xingyu is absolutely impossible to take a vacation, and it is necessary to study at home every day.

…

The space agency had planned to arrange a special plane to take Du Xingyu home, but Du Xingyu thought it was too wasteful. For example, his teacher Liu Yuan, the academicians of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering of the Space Agency usually travel by public transportation, and there is no need for him to mobilize the crowd.

However, he still has the qualification to ride the national transportation for free, and the bodyguard has also been increased from one person to three, and there is still protection in the dark.

In the first-class cabin of the plane flying to his hometown, Du Xingyu had already turned on the technology simulator in his mind and began to design the lunar base.

“The lunar base must have basic life, production, development, space transportation and other functions… In view of the limited development capabilities of the moon, it is best to make an expandable design.” Du Xingyu invested energy points and simulated the lunar terrain previously detected .

“Preliminary design, the base blueprint covers an area of ​​8,000 square meters! It can be expanded later.” Du Xingyu circled a piece of land on the lunar surface simulation terrain, and then began the simulation construction.

“This base should be a combination of underground buildings and ground buildings. It is difficult to build on the moon, so it is designed as a basement and two floors on the ground…”

“To prevent space radiation, the wall must be thick, plus the moon’s temperature difference between day and night… Multi-layer walls can solve this problem. Two layers of outer walls?” Du Xingyu first designed the outer wall into two layers, on the simulator, Shows excessive radiation.

He continued to add walls until the design of six walls with a thickness of 1.4 meters did not show that the radiation effects were eliminated. After the outer wall, he added an inner wall with a thickness of 2.4 meters to continue to protect against radiation and play a role in heat preservation and heat dissipation.

On the science and technology simulator, the moon base already has a foundation shape.
