Chapter 56 – progress

“In the gap between the inner and outer walls, 0,7 meters of lunar soil is added to further enhance the ability to resist radiation, solar wind and meteorite impact.”

“Inject one hundred thousand energy points and start the internal structure simulation…” Du Xingyu continued to improve the blueprint for the moon base.

As a base, the most basic 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.

“Working area, scientific research area, medical area, production area…” Du Xingyu designed and modified on the blueprint.



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

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

“When the base is relatively small, solar panels can provide enough energy… But if you want to start producing lunar minerals, you must build a nuclear power plant on the moon…”

“The moon, the Tiangong space station, and the earth frequently travel back and forth, so the lunar spaceport must also be designed in advance.”

“The first industrial zone should be the moon mine…ore mining, mining, refinery…”

The more the design, the more complicated Du Xingyu found. A lunar base has too many parts designed, even if it has a simulator, it cannot be done in a short time.

It seems that in the past few months, some have been busy!

A few hours later, Du Xingyu returned home.

“Dr. Du, many people have come to your house.” said the driver Yue Chen, “the leader of your city, the Academy of Sciences, and some of your relatives.”

“I knew…” Du Xingyu sighed slightly. He had already concealed his schedule, but his family must know when he wants to go home.

When these people heard the news, they came directly to visit his house.

“Wait to help me stop, I really don’t have the mood to talk to them!” Du Xingyu said to Yue Chen and the others.

“No problem, it’s on us!” His three bodyguards agreed in one fell swoop. Among them was Shangguan Zihan, who was a female bodyguard and a part-time female secretary, who was very skilled in handling such things.

As soon as Du Xingyu’s car entered the community, someone had already notified him.

Downstairs from his house, the city’s leaders greeted him and said with a smile: “Our space 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, now he needs to take care of his body… everybody, if anything You can tell me things, I will coordinate!”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)



“Yes, yes, let Dr. Du go to rest!”

A group of people, you say me, Du Xingyu took a lot of effort to get back home. The relatives are more acquainted. Seeing Du Xingyu is too busy, he has already withdrawn, saying that he will visit again in a few days.

“Hey, it’s finally quiet!” Du Xingyu sighed while lying on the sofa.

“I’ve seen it!” Du Zekang was also tired. When Du Xingyu was famous before, many people came to the house and they still refused. But there have been too many big shots lately, it is inconvenient to refuse, and he is also very tired.

“You still rarely go home in the future.” Li Rong said, “I will visit you with your dad in the future. Anyway, you also have a house in the capital.”

“Yes, that’s a good idea.” Du Zekang said, “If I do this every time, my bones will be broken!”

“I asked the secretary to push all these things, so I said I was restoring my body and couldn’t see guests.” Du Xingyu said.

“Okay, take a good rest at home for a while. It’s harder to see you than to meet the provincial leaders!” Li Rong vomited.

In the following days, Du Xingyu stayed at home and continued to simulate the design of the moon base. Even if you really want to go out, you have to wear a hat and mask to avoid being recognized.

During his vacation, no one else was idle.

The first is that the Americans launched the moon landing spacecraft “Starship” planned by Artemis, and the Blue Moon lunar lander carried by the starship successfully landed on the moon.

The Stars and Stripes were once again inserted on the surface of the moon, and the entire United States celebrated it. The three US space companies involved in Artemis’ return to the moon, Blue Origin, Space Exploration Technologies, and the United States’ United Launch Alliance Rocket’s stock prices continue to rise.

There is a space fever throughout the United States!

The US Space Agency also announced a follow-up mission to the Artemis program. They will send astronauts to stay on the lunar surface for a long time and build a lunar base.

After the U.S. landed on the moon, the Russian Space Agency also successfully landed on the moon, relying on the heritage left over from the Soviet era.

The European Space Agency is still making great efforts to build rockets and lunar spacecraft, and other countries are also trying their best.

The China Space Administration also keeps moving, and new rockets, space planes, and lunar spacecraft have all started.

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

“Du Gong, our Canglong recyclable heavy-duty launch vehicle was 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.

Xingyao is favored by the majority of capital because of the successful development of the Xingzhou spacecraft. Now the development of one year has exceeded that of the previous ten years!

“Very good, you did a great job!” Du Xingyu praised. Although the Canglong is not nuclear-powered, its load capacity has surpassed the Long March 5 and the new Falcon Nine. In the current commercial rocket field, it can be called the big brother. Big!

“Not only the Canglong rocket, but our Xingyao-1 aerospace plane that imitates 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 Airplane!”

“In such a short period of time, it is indeed not easy!” Du Xingyu said with emotion.



“Haha, brother, all of this is your credit.” Xingyao’s president Dong Jiangbo smiled, “we are just taking the gourd and imitating your design.”

“Now I plan to cooperate with China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation to engage in 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 an investment that will not lose money. Once the lunar base is built, space flights can be established between the earth and the moon. Not only mining, industry, and space medical services, but also other things. All kinds of commercial activities can be carried out. Participating now is to buy a 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, there are still things. I want to trouble you. See if you have time recently?”
