Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 329 Moon Palace City

If you don't count the Muhe Forest and Salt Lake outside the city, Yuegong City is completely a replica of Plateau City on Earth, only smaller.

Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, it is almost a vacuum environment, and the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the material on the moon surface are very low, so the temperature difference between day and night on the surface of the moon is very large.

During the day, the surface temperature of the moon is as high as 127 degrees Celsius where the sun shines vertically, and at night, its surface temperature can drop to minus 183 degrees Celsius.

Humans dare not be exposed to such an environment at all, so for the sake of safety, the transparent dome of Moon Palace City was built relatively small, the largest one was only 5 kilometers in diameter.

Moreover, the dome has three floors, and each floor is 100 meters apart, leaving enough room for emergency response.

The transparent dome is made of a new type of soil building material. In addition to the function of sealing the space, it can also attract sunlight to generate electricity and adjust the temperature of the internal space. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, acid and alkali resistance, and high temperature resistance. .

And through the coordination of the control center, it forms the sky ecosystem together with the air purification, air pressure adjustment device, water circulation system, and power system.

After the initial application in Qinglong aircraft carrier and plateau city, the sky ecosystem has become quite mature.

This technology was originally prepared by Zhong Cheng for going into space, but the Red Star Company has not used it, but it has been used by others as a standard configuration for cities and bases on the moon. Everyone in the Red Star Company has a feeling of making wedding dresses for others, which is not enough No wonder.

……

Benyue Airport is already close to the mountain wall of the crater. It also has a cement runway more than ten kilometers long. The cement used is made by factories on the moon.

Scientists have already developed techniques to make cement from lunar soil and rocks.

The moon is extremely rich in mineral resources. The 17 most common elements on the earth can be found everywhere on the moon.

Taking iron as an example, only the 5-centimeter-thick sand on the lunar surface contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, and the entire lunar surface has an average of 10-meter-thick sand.

The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely rich, but also easy to mine and smelt.

It is reported that the iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, as long as the oxygen and iron are separated. On the surface of the moon, the content of aluminum is also very rich.

Therefore, most of the industrial products on the moon have been self-produced now, and they will not have to be transported from the earth all the way.

Oxygen and hydrogen, which are most needed for human survival, can be extracted in large quantities on the moon, thus solving the problem of water sources.

Although there are no resources such as coal, natural gas, or oil on the moon, there is helium-3, the best raw material for nuclear fusion power generation.

The content of helium-3 in the lunar soil is estimated at 715000 tons, which can be used by all mankind for thousands of years.

For every ton of helium-3 extracted from lunar soil, 6300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen, and 1600 tons of carbon can be obtained, and mining and refining are very simple.

Currently, more than 3% of the helium-96 produced on the moon has been shipped back to Earth for high profits, in addition to meeting its own needs. This is also one of the main profit methods for large companies that enter space.

Last year, Red Star paid more than 3 billion yuan to the Federal Space Administration for the purchase of helium-2000, which is still a bulk purchase price.

There are abundant power resources on the moon, which also enables the development of an agricultural system in a fully artificial environment.

Although only vegetables are produced now, there is a vast land on the moon, and it is not impossible to reproduce food in the future.

Some experts and scholars have pointed out that the current lunar administrative region has the ability to be self-sufficient, even if the earth is destroyed, it can continue the human race.

At 13:[-], the Luanniao aerospace plane landed safely at the Moon Flying to the Moon Airport.

It took a total of 9 hours to take off from Zabuye Airport in Gaoyuan City at 4 o'clock, and it took more than four days for Apollo 11 to complete the first moon landing by humans and reach the surface of the moon from the earth.

Since the day cycle on the moon is 27:7:42 on the 11th, in order to ensure normal communication with the Earth headquarters and exchanges between lunar cities, Haicheng standard time of the Asian Federation is uniformly adopted on the moon.

As for the day of sunrise and sunset on the moon, there is no way to take care of it.

Zhong Cheng and Ye Wenxin took off their anti-G suits and experienced the environment on the moon with only one-sixth of the earth's gravity.

At this time, a stewardess from outside the box knocked on the door and came in, politely asking them to follow her off the plane.

Zhong Cheng and Zhong Cheng lightly followed behind the stewardess, taking the special passage for flight crew.

The stewardess told them softly that there were 72 people in the crew, and two people would stay on the plane. They used the identities of these two people to identify the airport, and someone would pick them up outside the airport.

Zhong Cheng went up and down from the Luanniao aerospace plane to the lunar surface, and looked up at the sky through the dome for the first time, and it was the night sky full of stars.

A huge bright semicircular star hangs high in the cool night sky, above which the blue ocean is clearly visible. This is the mother of mankind - the earth.

Since it is now late September, it is the long night of nearly half a month on the front of the moon, and the earth is also the "first quarter moon".

Zhong Cheng carried the metal box, Ye Wenxin carried the suitcase, and followed a group of crew members out of Benyue Airport through the staff passage on the side of the airport.

A young man walked over quickly on the street outside the airport, "Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, this way please!"

The young man paused and bowed, Zhong Cheng glanced at a badge on his chest, engraved with several oracle bone inscriptions.

Those who don't understand it will only think it is a pattern, and those who understand it will recognize the words "wind, rain, thunder and lightning".

This is the chapter of the Huaxia Ancient Culture and Folklore Research Society, and the people who come are here to meet them.

Zhong Cheng and his wife followed the young man to a large electric flying car he drove, and the young man was busy loading their luggage onto the car.

Zhong Cheng looked at this electric flying car. This is not a daily electric flying car produced by Red Star Company. It has the logo of the Asian Federal Lunar Development Company on it.

He sneered in his heart. With the capabilities of the Lunar Development Company, there is no way to manufacture an electric flying car. This must have been dismantled after the daily flying car purchased from Red Star Company on the earth, and then the main components were transported to the moon and then reassembled. Insignificant components such as some moon-produced shells were used.

But it can be sold at a high price of five or six times, which is really a good business with huge profits!
After the three got into the car, the young man drove to the city.

At this time, the young man introduced himself. His name is Xu Jiuwen. He is 27 years old this year. He is a staff member of the Sky Ecosystem Management Center in Yuegong City.

Huaxia Ancient Culture and Folklore Research Society, referred to as "Ancient People's Association" for short, is an academic organization established by Zhong Cheng 8 years ago that specializes in the study of ancient Chinese culture and folklore.

After the establishment of the Federation, the national consciousness of the people of the former member states was deliberately downplayed, and the concepts of Asians, Asian nations, and Asian cultures were emphasized.

Although this is understandable, Zhong Cheng and some "stiff-minded" Chinese people do not fully agree with it.

Feeling this, Zhong Chengcheng asked Shi Hanxing, Li Shaojie, Chen Yilong and others to come forward to establish this ancient people's association, gathering like-minded Chinese people to study and promote Chinese traditional culture.

Because researching and promoting Chinese traditional culture is not accepted by the mainstream academic circles in the current society, and Zhong Cheng has very high requirements for members, so the members of the Ancient Minhui are only tens of thousands, and most of them are still in Red Star. company.

However, Shanhai Fund injects activity funds in the name of investment. Although the Guminhui is low-key, it still has a strong ability to operate.
