Chapter 2562 Scientific Research Shelter on the Moon
"So Professor Huang, can you tell us about this launch mission? Why is it so important and attracts so much public attention?"
"Okay." Professor Huang nodded and then addressed the host.
This mission is a lunar scientific research mission using the lunar cargo transportation system carried by the new Jianmu-9 heavy-lift launch vehicle to transport equipment and materials to the moon.
This lunar cargo transport system will transport about ten tons of materials and equipment to the moon to prepare for the next step of building a lunar scientific research station. This should be said to be the world's first lunar surface scientific research station and the first in the world.
It is a commercially operated lunar station. This lunar cargo transportation system is also the world's first Earth-to-lunar cargo transfer spacecraft. In addition, the launch mission this time is also our country's heavy-lift launch vehicle with the largest carrying capacity and take-off mass so far. So.
With so many firsts, it will naturally arouse everyone's interest and attention.
At this point, Professor Huang paused and then continued his lecture.
Before this launch mission, Haoyu Space has launched two lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicles to the moon. Among them, the lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle code-named Wangshu-1 has traveled thousands of kilometers, and has surveyed the front side of the moon.
Most areas have been patrolled and explored, and on-site surveys have been conducted on some famous topographic and landform areas on the lunar surface, such as lunar mountains, craters, craters, meteorite cores, lunar soil, lunar cracks and other areas, and
Laboratory analysis of lunar soil components has resulted in a series of great scientific research results.
For example, Wangshu-1 once discovered solid ice in the cracks of the moon and successfully extracted it.
When Professor Huang was about to leave, a photo of the moon's solid ice melting into liquid appeared on the big screen behind him, published by Haoyu Technology.
Professor Huang looked at the photo and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the photo. The solid ice extracted from the crack canyons of the moon by Wangshu-1 turned into water after being exposed to sunlight.
This discovery also directly confirmed the existence of solid water in the shadow area of the moon. This indirectly confirmed many previous scientific research inferences, such as the origin of the moon, the evolution of the moon, and a series of scientific research problems.
In addition to this, there is also the platinum core of the asteroid that was very popular some time ago. This was also discovered by Wangshu-1 in the crater. It is conservatively estimated that the meteorite core is several tons in size, which should be
It is said to be the largest precious metal core discovered by humans on the moon.
The moon has no atmosphere, so it is hit by a large number of asteroids and meteorites every day. Therefore, a large number of cosmic meteorites and asteroid fragments are preserved on the surface of the moon.
These meteorites and asteroid fragments play a vital role in studying the origin of the entire universe and the formation of the solar system. And the relevant scientific research report of Wangshu-1 has also confirmed that it is on the surface of the moon and these asteroids and meteorite fragments
, more than a dozen brand-new metals and minerals have been discovered, which are not found on earth.
At present, we humans have encountered many problems and bottlenecks in science and technology. Maybe these new elements and new technologies may be the key to solving these technical problems. For example, the life span of our human beings, will there be a new element that can extend the life span?
Human lifespan, or the cure of many diseases. For example, will these new metal materials discovered be superior to the known metal materials on earth?
And among these new elements, will there be new energy substances that, like helium-3, can provide cleaner and safer energy for mankind?
Therefore, it is precisely because of so many major discoveries and scientific research results that Haoyu Aerospace is determined to accelerate this project, and the lunar surface scientific research station project has also been accelerated and put on the agenda.
The Wangshu-2 lunar scientific research vehicle launched last year was used to select the site for the lunar scientific research station. After a series of surveys, Wangshu-2 finally located in the northwest of the lunar Zhihai Sea selected by Haoyu aerospace scientists.
An area near the Philippine Mountains is used as the construction site for the lunar surface scientific research station.
Among the ten tons of materials transported by this mission, there are many related materials and equipment used for the construction of the lunar lunar surface scientific research station, which is why it is so important and attracts attention."
Director Zhang, what is the lunar scientific research station? What is so special about this station and why it attracts so much attention? The host turned to Director Zhang on the other side and asked.
Director Zhang nodded slightly when he heard this and then said: "The lunar scientific research station can also be called lunar scientific research station, lunar scientific research station, lunar scientific research center and other names. Its functions and structure are actually the same as those of our country.
The scientific research stations established in Antarctica are similar.
It is a comprehensive scientific research institute, or scientific site, that provides researchers with accommodation, scientific research, and exploration.
As we all know, the climate environment in Antarctica is very unsuitable for human habitation. Entering Antarctica without adequate protection will undoubtedly lose your life. Therefore, every scientific expedition to Antarctica is fully prepared. Even so, accidents still happen.
, this group saw how harsh the natural environment in Antarctica is and how unsuitable it is for human survival.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem and provide scientists with a shelter for long-term scientific research in Antarctica, so that scientists can stay and conduct research for a long time, our country has established multiple scientific research stations in Antarctica.
The same is true on the moon. Our current research on the moon is still very limited. At present, what we know about the moon is only observation, a brief stay on the moon several decades ago, and unmanned equipment in recent years.
detection.
If you want to know more about the moon, someone must stay there for a long time to conduct more detailed research on the moon. After all, the distance between the earth and the moon is too far, and it is not easy to go there, so if you can stay there for a long time,
Staying on it is simply too important for the entire scientific research and exploration.
Therefore, aerospace agencies and relevant national departments of many aerospace powers have proposed plans to establish scientific research sites for human living and scientific research on the moon.
However, because this project is too large, time-consuming, and costly, few countries and companies undertake it. However, because of the huge scientific research value on the moon, no matter how large the investment is, there are still countries that are making steady progress.
, such as Lao Mi’s plan to return to the moon, and our country’s lunar international scientific research station plan in cooperation with Mao Xiong, etc.
The lunar scientific research station project of Haoyu Aerospace is an independent commercial lunar scientific research project separate from these projects, which is why it has attracted so much attention."
