This was definitely a shocking discovery. After receiving the news, Wu Hao and the others rushed to the Xinyuehu Space Command and Control Center hall in less than ten minutes.
Everyone was excited when they saw the real-time white detection video sent back by the small detection robot on the big screen.
Zhang Qutong on the side excitedly introduced to everyone: "This, this, and this, these are all ice."
Where does this ice come from, asteroids or the underground of the moon? Zou Xiaodong asked a question that everyone is concerned about.
Zhang Qutong shook his head when he heard this and said: "It's not clear yet. We need to conduct sampling and analysis, but there is a high probability that it seeped out from the ground."
Doesn’t it mean that the moon’s core has cooled down and there is no strong geological movement? Zhang Jun raised his doubts.
Zhang Qutong smiled and shook his head and explained: "The current core of the moon has cooled, but the core of the moon was very active, much more active than the earth. And according to scientists' estimates, the current core of the moon still remains
Even with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees, it is not considered complete cooling.
And everyone, please take a look at the folded terrain at the bottom of the Yuexi Valley. We believe that it was formed under the tensile stress of the lunar graben. It may also be caused by geological movements caused by meteorite impacts. For example, a small moonquake.
, such Yuexi cracks or valleys may be formed.
Under such movement, the water in the soil will gush out from the cracks with the movement and quickly condense into ice under the low temperature of the moon.
Under the Yuexi Valley, there is no sunlight all year round, so the temperature is very low, so there is no evaporation, and the ice in these valleys is preserved."
Tong Juan heard Zhang Qutong's introduction and immediately asked: "Is this water groundwater from the moon?"
"Not necessarily. We currently have no conclusive evidence to prove the source of this water. As I said, this water is likely to seep out from the ground through cracks in geological movements. It is water that the moon originally contains.
Another point of view is that the water is most likely brought by meteorites. After all, the meteorites that can create such a large crater must be very large, and it is possible that there is water on them.
There is also a view that the water comes from some mineral components in the lunar soil, water formed under the huge pressure and high temperature of meteorite impacts, or under strong geological activities such as volcanoes and earthquakes." Zhang Qutong said with a smile.
He is in a very good mood now, because such a discovery is very rare, it can be said that there are not many in his life. Therefore, Wu Hao and the others are very enthusiastic about giving him such a precious opportunity.
Wu Hao looked at the picture on the big screen and asked: "Have you not taken the sample yet?"
The person speaking at this time was not Zhang Qutong but Zhou Xiangming, the general person in charge of the entire lunar exploration project. He smiled and said: "Not yet, the detection robot is currently detecting the valley bottom environment and conducting a comprehensive detection record as much as possible.
After completing this, we will prepare to take samples and return them."
Any new discoveries? This time Wu Hao looked at Zhang Qutong.
Seeing Wu Hao's inquiry, Zhang Qutong nodded very excitedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "We have discovered a lot. The geological environment here is very special. These folds are the best proof of geological activities. It is also because of geological activities that the
These underground rock layers and soil are lifted out, which is very helpful for us to study the deep lunar soil and lunar geological activities."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and did not continue to ask questions, but looked at the black and white pictures moving on the big screen.
At this time, Zhou Xiangming, who was accompanying him, asked Wu Hao softly: "Mr. Wu, ever since the ice at the bottom of the valley was discovered, the entire live broadcast has been interrupted in time. Now the outside world is very, very concerned about this, and reporters from some research institutions and media
Everyone called to inquire about the situation.
Do you think we should hold a press conference to officially announce this news to the outside world?"
When Wu Hao heard Zhou Xiangming's words, he thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Don't worry, the more important the scientific research results are, the more cautious it is. Don't make a mistake and make a joke. It is better to wait for the sampling test and analysis results to be confirmed before announcing it to the outside world."
Announce it."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Of course, we are not a public scientific research institution, so there is no need to forget about everything. This is not good for us. So the press conference can be held, but what should be said can be
Say, don’t say anything you shouldn’t say, we’re still waiting for the other party to pay.”
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhou Xiangming and Zhang Jun immediately nodded in approval. However, Zhang Qutong and other experts had some complaints. In their opinion, such a major scientific research discovery should be released to the public immediately and shared with the world.
World. But Wu Hao and the others are too focused on profit, and even now they are still thinking about how to obtain the maximum benefit.
This also made them feel a little disdainful, thinking that they were indeed businessmen, and they would not be able to afford it without profit. They always put profit first. However, they just thought about these words in their hearts and complained secretly. They definitely could not say them out loud.
, after all, Wu Hao and the others are the owners of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle, and are their bosses. If they anger them, I am afraid they will lose their jobs. After all, in such a major event,
Attracted by scientific research results, there are many experts and scholars who want to join the entire scientific research team, at least one or two.
Therefore, although they are well-known experts in related fields in China, they still have to show respect in front of Wu Hao and the others. Although Wu Hao and the others are only as old as their children and grandchildren, their achievements are theirs.
Children and grandchildren, including themselves, are far out of reach.
Just say that this intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle "Wangshu" cannot be developed by just anyone, and can launch it into the sky and land smoothly on the moon on schedule.
For Wu Hao and others, this project is commercial in nature, so profitability must be considered. Such a major discovery will definitely attract attention from all aspects, and it would be a pity to release it in vain. So Wu Hao plans to
Publish part of it first to attract the interest of these research institutions, including the media. If they want to obtain more useful information, they must show sincerity.
In fact, the information they have released before is very limited. If other institutions and individuals want to obtain comprehensive data information, including some high-definition pictures, they must spend money to purchase it.
Some of the high-definition photos taken by the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle have been released on the official website of Haoyu Aerospace. Netizens can purchase and download them based on their interests and wishes. Of course, these
It can only be used for personal use. If it is for commercial use, such as publishing marketing accounts, news, including some magazines, you need to obtain separate commercial authorization.
