Chapter 2920: Research Station Central Control Center Module
【Revision】
In fact, how to build this lunar scientific research station has always been a key topic in the aerospace field, and it is also a major problem.
The reason is that the distance of 380,000 kilometers places very strict requirements on any construction facilities on the moon. Although various aerospace agencies and aerospace companies have released their own plans for lunar scientific research stations.
, and even includes some design plans and design ideas, etc.
But how to design and build this lunar scientific research station is also the biggest problem facing Wu Hao and others. Because they have no experience and nothing to refer to.
They can only build this lunar scientific research station from scratch through the design plans and related ideas released by various aerospace agencies and aerospace companies before, as well as their own related understandings.
This lunar scientific research station can be regarded as a large space station on the moon, but compared with the space station sailing in the moon's low-Earth orbit, this lunar scientific research station is larger and more complex.
A bit more complicated.
It has all the functions and characteristics of a space station, such as its own core module, personnel living module, and resource service module that supports the operation of the entire lunar scientific research station.
In addition to these cabin configurations, several experimental cabins must be added based on needs, as well as airlock cabins for access to the entire lunar surface scientific research station.
However, depending on the specific conditions of the lunar scientific research station and the lunar environment, these functional modules will be slightly different, but they are all very similar and have basically the same functions.
Of course, the entire lunar scientific research station is far from that simple. Because it is 380,000 kilometers away, some other cabin modules may be added. For example, the storage warehouse module cannot be one, but must be two.
seats, or even three or more.
why?
Because these storage warehouse modules store materials needed for personnel's daily life and scientific research work, disaster recovery backup is necessary.
Otherwise, once there is a problem with this storage warehouse, everything inside will be damaged. Once there is a problem with these materials, they are 380,000 kilometers apart. Even if a cargo spacecraft is urgently arranged to transport materials and supplies, it will take at least a week. These
How can people wait?
Therefore, important functional modules like this are usually built in two or three, or even more, to serve as backups for each other.
In this way, even if one or even two of them have problems, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire lunar scientific research station, as well as the lives and scientific research work of the personnel inside.
In addition to this storage warehouse module, there are also water resource protection modules, air supply modules, power modules, etc. These modules will not be put together, but will be placed in different areas according to different functions.
, so that even if there is a problem in one area, another area will operate normally. Even the living cabin module and the core control module have backups to deal with possible crises.
Even one kilometer away from this scientific research station, an emergency evacuation center will be built in the future for emergency evacuation after a large disaster strikes.
What is a major disaster?
For example, there was a sudden wave of meteorite rain on the moon, and the entire lunar scientific research station was severely damaged and became uninhabitable. In addition, the landing ascender parked at the landing site next to it was damaged, making it impossible for personnel to evacuate the moon in an emergency.
At this time, these people can evacuate to this emergency evacuation center for temporary living. The relatively abundant water and food stored here can ensure that these people can live for a certain amount of time until rescue from the earth arrives.
Returning to the construction of the lunar scientific research station, with the paving of the roads on the foundation completed, the construction of the entire lunar scientific research station theme building has officially begun.
The first thing to be carried out is the construction of the core module module, which is the central control center of the entire lunar surface scientific research station. In fact, there are two such control center modules, one is the main control module and the other is the emergency control module.
center.
The main control center is the core of the entire lunar scientific research station building complex and the starting point of construction. In the future, the construction of the entire lunar scientific research station will start here and gradually extend to the surrounding areas.
The entire main control center is in the shape of a nearly square lower part and a circular dome upper part. It is divided into two floors, the upper and lower floors, covering an area of about 140 square meters. The lower floor is the entrance and exit passage, an independent airlock cabin and related equipment rooms.
The second floor is the core of the entire main control center - the control hall.
The entire main control center is printed by sintered lunar soil and is divided into two layers: inner and outer. Originally, these glass hanging windows were supposed to be printed by a lunar 3D printer, but the technology was too difficult and the size of the printed glass was too great.
If it is too large, the pressure resistance will be too poor. Therefore, the glass used in these glass portholes, including the glass used in the entire base, will be transported from the earth.
The main control center printed using the lunar 3D printer is just an empty shell, and personnel certainly cannot live in it, and further construction is required.
For example, for interior decoration of the entire main control center, a special material is sprayed onto the printed wall. This material will automatically solidify when bonded to the entire wall, forming a special film. Then these layers of film are pasted on
Combined with internal materials, such as insulation materials, anti-radiation materials, etc., only in this way can a closed, safe, and stable shell be formed.
During the entire internal construction process, complex pipelines must be installed. The entire process is very complicated, and the construction period is much more complicated than printing the entire building shell.
In addition, all exits of the entire main control center, whether they are independent airlock entrances facing the outside world or exits connecting various corridors, need to be sealed and relevant hatches installed.
Of course, these hatch structures cannot be produced under the current conditions on the moon. Intelligence is produced from the earth and then transported up for assembly and use.
In fact, apart from the large-scale lunar soil 3D printer, these building components are the most transported this time. When they need to be printed, they are embedded into the main structure of the entire printed building to form a whole. In this way,
This can greatly improve the sealing of the entire building.
After all this is completed, the entire building can be filled with air through relevant pipes for pressurization. Of course, this is the last step, there is no rush now.
