Chapter 2523 Site Selection for Lunar Scientific Exploration Station
After listening to Zhou Xiangming's introduction, everyone present nodded, approving Zhou Xiangming's explanation and this plan.
Wu Hao and Zhang Jun looked at each other, and then said to everyone: "I have learned about the design plan of the lunar lander, and I think this plan is feasible.
However, Mr. Yang (Yang Fan)’s worries are not unreasonable. After all, in the future we will use such a lunar lander to carry out frequent lunar landings, takeoffs and ascent missions on the moon 380,000 kilometers away from us.
The risks are huge and there are too many unknowns.
Therefore, whether it is about the construction of the lunar lander, Space Express, or the lunar scientific research station, we must be careful, people-oriented, and safety-oriented.
We need to have an adventurous and pioneering spirit, but everything must be based on safety, understand."
clear!
Hearing the answers from Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming, Wu Hao smiled and nodded, then put his hands on the table, leaned forward and looked at Zhou Xiangming and asked: "Xiang Ming, come and introduce to us your lunar scientific research station project.
Recent work content and related results achieved.”
Okay, since our "Wangshu-2" intelligent lunar surface exploration experimental vehicle successfully landed on the moon, a series of scientific research has been started.
Zhou Xiangming said while projecting a map on the big screen, and then introduced to everyone: "Everyone, please take a look, this is a satellite map near the Moon Zhihai.
After careful research, I decided to locate the Lunar Science Observatory on the plains on the northwest side of Zhihai Sea and the east side of the Life Mountains, which is the location on the map."
Zhou Xiangming pointed to the point marked on the satellite map, and then continued to preach to everyone: "The reason why we chose this point has something to do with the surrounding environment, and also has a lot to do with the small environment near this point.
First, let’s talk about the general environment. That is, this place is located in the southern hemisphere of the moon, close to the middle of the southern hemisphere of the moon. From here, it is very close to the equator of the moon and the south pole of the moon.
In addition, it is also very close to the Copernicus impact crater, including nearby famous craters of all sizes, and the lunar maria, which is conducive to our subsequent scientific research and survey work.
So let’s talk about the small environment here. It is located near the Liffey Mountains and on the edge of the Zhihai Sea. The terrain is relatively flat. After our exploration, we found that there are not so many small meteorite impact craters in other parts of the moon. The terrain is relatively flat and suitable for construction.
Infrastructure such as scientific research stations and landing sites are also conducive to the development of related scientific research activities in the future.
In addition, this is also for the safety of the lunar scientific research station. As we all know, the moon has no atmosphere, so it is often attacked by meteorites, which is why there are so many large and small craters on the moon.
Therefore, we need to choose a location that is less likely to be hit by meteorites to avoid being hit by meteorites in the future.
However, this kind of passive defense can only meet temporary needs and cannot adapt to long-term development. Therefore, on the basis of passive defense, we also designed an active defense system.
We will deploy relevant early warning radars and meteorite monitoring systems on the moon to provide early warning and defense against meteorites. When conditions mature in the future, we will also equip the lunar scientific research station with relevant air defense weapons to deal with meteorites from the sky.
threaten.
Of course, this is just an idea of ours. After all, the moon is shared by all mankind. According to relevant international legal provisions and conventions, all contracting states must peacefully use space resources, which includes the moon. One of the very important provisions is,
That is, weapons cannot be deployed on the moon.
Although our country has not signed a treaty in this regard, it does not mean that we can implement it. Once it is known to the international community, we will fall into the spotlight.
In addition, our "Wangshu-2" intelligent lunar surface exploration experimental vehicle also conducted detailed inspections and surveys here, and drilled and sampled part of the surface and deep lunar soil.
In this area, the lunar soil is very rich in mineral elements, and we have discovered very precious solid water resources in the deep lunar soil.
These water resources may come from past meteorite impacts carried to the moon, or they may be produced by high-temperature reactions caused by meteorites impacting the lunar surface. There are also some water resources produced by long-term solar radiation decomposing mineral elements in the lunar soil.
Water resources.
Of course, it is not ruled out that these water resources originally existed on the ancient moon. However, because its magnetic field is weak and there is no atmosphere, the water resources originally contained in the lunar soil were partly evaporated by the sun on the surface, while the deep parts were evaporated.
reserved.
No matter what the reason is, the water resources here are relatively abundant, which means that in the future we can obtain water resources directly from the moon. This is not only beneficial to the living life of our personnel, but also beneficial to our development of lunar agriculture and lunar cultivation.
Mineral mining and a series of scientific research and production tasks.
In addition to these, everyone should pay attention to this picture. This is the distribution map of lunar helium-3 exploration resources. The distribution of helium-3 resources near this area is very objective.
Therefore, building the lunar scientific research station here will be conducive to our later exploration of helium-3 resources."
At this point, Zhou Xiangming paused for a moment, and then said to Wu Hao and everyone: "After several months of continuous exploration, we have selected a very suitable area for our lunar scientific research station.
At present, our Wangshu-2 intelligent lunar surface exploration experimental vehicle has begun preliminary preparations for the lunar scientific expedition station. After the equipment and cargo arrive on the moon in July, we can officially launch the lunar scientific expedition.
The site is under construction.
In addition to these, our Wangshu-2 intelligent lunar surface exploration experimental vehicle will also center around the lunar scientific research station site and begin to gradually explore the surrounding areas of the entire site, so as to master more information about this area.
Geological information will facilitate later utilization and development.”
After listening to Zhou Xiangming's explanation, Wu Hao nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Do you have anything to ask?"
Seeing Wu Hao asking questions, everyone immediately started thinking.
Tong Juan, who had been silent all this time, now spoke: "Logically speaking, this is not my responsibility, but as a senior executive and shareholder of the company, I also have a few questions to ask."
Tong Juan's shares are position incentive shares. As long as she works for enough years, these shares will be hers. But it is only a small part, but it still represents a lot of money. Of course, Tong Juan cannot take away this share now.
