Chapter 2878 Interest is the driving force for action
"In addition to the high research value of the fragmentary materials produced by these meteorite impacts, the meteorites impacting the moon formed huge craters, which will also bring out the deep material of the moon, which is very important for studying the geological structure and composition of the deep moon.
It has very high research value.
In addition, let's look at Zhihai. To the south of it are two ancient craters or moon basins, Shihaihai and Yunhai. Moreover, the topography and landforms nearby are very complex and have very high research value.
This also shows that the geological activity in this area was very active in the past, and many materials in the underground may have been brought to the lunar surface along with the geological movement, so it is of very high research value."
"Of course, the high research value is the reason but not the main reason. The reason why Haoyu Aerospace chose to establish the lunar scientific research station here is because it contains very rich resources.
As mentioned earlier, geological activities in this area are relatively active, and many rare minerals basically appear in such geologically active areas. Just like the mineralizing belts on our planet, they are basically located in areas with relatively active geological activities.
area.
Haoyu Aerospace chose this place because of these precious minerals."
Speaking of this, Professor Huang said with a smile: "Actually, before the construction of the scientific research station, Haoyu Aerospace launched two detectors to the moon. These two detectors surveyed a large area of the entire front side of the moon.
In the end, Haoyu Aerospace chose to establish a scientific research station in this area.
As the saying goes, if you don't make a profit, you can't start early, which shows that there must be something attractive to them in this area. For a commercial company, profit is the driving force for their actions.
At present, part of the relevant data detected by these two detectors has been made public. Judging from the only public detection data, Haoyu Aerospace should have mastered very detailed geological data of a large area in the southern hemisphere of the moon.
In this case, there is no need to explain the reason why we chose to establish the lunar surface scientific research station here in Zhihai."
Following Professor Huang's words, Director Zhang said with a smile: "In fact, it can be seen from a report on the lunar soil material exploration results in the Zhihai area released by Haoyu Aerospace. The report shows that the Zhihai area contains rich reserves.
There are a wide variety of mineral elements, with a total of more than 40 types.
Among them, the most abundant reserves are water, helium 3, titanium, manganese, iron, copper, silver, etc.
Wu Hao, the founder of Haoyu Aerospace and the head of Haoyu Technology, has said more than once that their goal is to obtain helium-3 resources on the moon and then transport them back to the earth, thereby benefiting all mankind and making everyone
Be able to use a steady stream of clean energy.
This also shows that they went there based on the helium content on the moon, which is also in line with the characteristics of commercial aerospace companies."
Yes. Professor Huang nodded, and then continued: "The most important thing for our survival on the moon is the necessary conditions for production, which are water and air. In fact, as long as we have water, everything else can be easily solved.
Detection by Haoyu Aerospace shows that the lunar soil in this area of Zhihai contains abundant water resources, which is why they chose this scientific research station to be located here.
With water, you can survive. Water can be decomposed into oxygen for humans to breathe. The decomposed hydrogen and oxygen can also be used as rocket fuel to support subsequent landings and departure from the moon.
In addition, water can also be used for hydroponics, so that plants can be grown to provide a food source. It can be said that water is the basis of production."
"In addition, Zhihai is close to the south pole of the moon. It is a very famous water tower on the moon. This area is rich in solid water. The location here will be conducive to the subsequent effective use of water resources on the moon."
Speaking of this, Professor Huang softened his tone and said: "Of course, there are other reasons for choosing the location here, that is, it can avoid interference from others and thus have actual control over this area, which is very important for future development.
Because this can avoid excessive interference from others during the development process, especially interference from some competitors or even enemies, which is very important for early development.
Once Haoyu Aerospace has established a foothold here, it will be more difficult for other aerospace agencies and aerospace companies to get involved."
Unexpectedly, there are so many factors involved in just one site selection. The host said with emotion.
Professor Huang said with a smile: "Actually, there are many factors that affect site selection. For example, the area in the northwest of Zhihai Sea near the Liffey Mountains has a relatively flat terrain and no large craters, so it is very suitable for establishing landings and new scientific expeditions.
stand.
And it can also be determined that this is an area on the moon that is less visited by meteorites, so it is safer to establish a scientific research station here.
Because we know that the moon has no atmosphere and is very vulnerable to meteorite attacks. Therefore, when establishing a scientific research station on the moon, it is particularly important to prevent meteorite attacks.
Because there is no atmosphere and the moon's gravity is small, many small meteorites are difficult to predict. If a scientific research station is established in an area where meteorites are more likely to visit, it may be hit by meteorites, causing damage to the construction facilities and equipment of the scientific research station.
Damage affects the operation of the scientific research station.
If there are people inside the scientific research station, it will also cause huge casualties. Once the meteorite hits the cabin of the inhabited scientific research station, the people inside may suffocate to death due to the instantaneous loss of pressure and the air being sucked out."
Unexpectedly, the beautiful surface of the moon is also full of dangers. The host sighed, and then asked Director Zhang: "Director Zhang, how can we prevent being hit by these small meteorites on the moon? Do scientists have any good ideas?"
Ahem, Director Zhang coughed twice, and then said: "At present, there is still relatively little research on this area in the academic world, after all, it is too far away from us.
However, scientists have also conducted relevant research and response work on the issue of preventing meteorite impacts on the moon.
At present, everyone's consensus is still on prevention. When it comes to site selection and activity areas, try to choose areas where meteorites are less likely to visit, and try to avoid activities in key areas where meteorites are easy to visit.
Secondly, it is to establish a long-term early warning system for meteorites, such as establishing a related radar early warning system on the moon to provide early warning of meteorite fragments that may visit in space.
In this way, people operating on the moon can be given time to evacuate in advance. In this way, even if meteorites visit, they will not cause casualties.
Finally, scientists want to build a meteorite defense system on the moon, using low-altitude missiles, or electromagnetic guns, and laser weapons to intercept and destroy meteorite fragments that may cause harm to facilities and personnel on the moon."
