Chapter 415 Water Plant on the Moon

No matter how turbulent and treacherous the outside was, Zhang Zhi and Yu Zhiyuan in the control center completely ignored the outside.

They are discussing the industrial layout of the moon base. It is mainly about the adjustment of the lunar water plant.

The layout of the lunar base was already planned by many Chinese experts before the launch of the carrier module.

In the past, there were no water plants on the moon. Their idea was to transport water directly from the moon on the earth.

The water is compressed through high technology to save space in the carrying compartment.

But after seeing the detailed analysis of the lunar soil, Zhang Zhiyou had a new idea.

There is also hope to build a pure water production plant on the moon.

There is no need to build a pure water plant, and materials will be obtained from the moon in the later stage. With intelligent industrial robots, water plants can be built.

In terms of cost performance, its efficacy is much higher than that of transporting water from the earth to the moon.

Zhang Zhi took the report on the lunar soil and said to Zhiyuan: The oxygen content in the lunar soil is as high as 40%.

We can extract the oxygen element, and in the reactor, it reacts with the hydrogen element transported from the earth to produce pure water.

In this way, the most difficult water resource on the moon can be solved.

Zhang Zhi held the mineral report on the moon, which was the data detected by the resource reconnaissance satellite.

Mineral resources have a certain amount of electromagnetic radiation, especially gamma rays, which can be easily detected.

Based on this principle, satellites can detect the approximate distribution of elements within a certain range in space.

The storage of rare elements on the moon is more than that on the earth.

There are three main types of rocks on the moon. The first is the lunar sea basalt rich in iron and titanium.

The second is anorthosite, which is rich in potassium, rare earth and phosphorus, etc. They are mainly distributed in the lunar highlands.

The third type is mainly breccia composed of debris particles of 0.1 to 1 mm.

Some of them are mixed with lunar soil. It can be seen as sand on the moon.

Moon rocks contain all the elements in the earth and about 60 kinds of minerals.

From an elemental point of view, the earth is just an ordinary planet in the universe.

For most massive solid planets, as long as their formation conditions are not too special, the element distribution is basically the same as that of the earth.

This is just the distribution of elements, the real composition of matter. The materials on the earth and the moon are quite different.

The material composition of the moon is very different from that of most solid planets in the solar system.

The composition of matter on the earth and most solid planets in the solar system is basically similar.

Yu Zhiyuan thought for a while, then looked at Zhang Zhi and asked, Your idea is that we will no longer send water to the moon.

But the establishment of a water plant on the moon is to transport liquid hydrogen, which will also occupy a very large part of the warehouse.

Water is produced through the hydrogen-oxygen reaction, which also consumes energy.

Zhang Zhi knew Yu Zhiyuan's doubts, and he said confidently: Of course our company has special means to achieve our goals.

You forgot the helium-3 fusion power plant on the moon. The raw materials for his reaction are the abundant helium 3 in the lunar soil and the deuterium on the earth.

The distribution of deuterium on the moon is very low, but it is abundant in our seawater.

We transport deuterium by highly compressing it through the gravitational field.

Its density can reach 30g/cm, which is 30 times the density of water.

We use this method to compress hydrogen, which is easier to compress than water. It should compress twice as much.

We can compress a ton of hydrogen to the size of a volleyball.

Yu Zhiyuan's eyes widened, his right hand shook uncontrollably, and he said in disbelief: It can be compressed to such an extent.

In this way, the space occupied by transporting hydrogen is much more cost-effective than transporting water.

Yu Zhiyuan knew the working principle of the gravitational slingshot.

The energy consumption of his delivery has almost nothing to do with the quality. At least this is the case when the gravitational force generated by the cargo cannot affect the aiming target.

In this way, the smaller the volume of goods transported, the higher the cost performance.

After Zhang Zhi saw that Yu Zhiyuan agreed, they readjusted the industrial layout of the moon base.

This is just a small change to reduce the presence of the cistern.

Connect the water production plant to the industrial chain of lunar soil purification.

In this way, the substances produced after the purification of the lunar soil can also be efficiently used.

Follow their wishes, after presenting directions.

Then hand it over to the experts in the control center, and let them re-optimize the industrial layout.

For experts, this is a small task, and the wait is not long.

The experts re-planned the industrial layout.

After Zhang Zhi and Yu Zhiyuan checked, they both agreed to this plan.

Just pass this plan on to Xing Lan.

Now the moon and the earth can be connected through a quantum network.

Xing Lan can directly command the intelligent robot. Complete the construction of the moon base.

Coupled with the ant colony intelligence formed among intelligent robots.

Their handling of details is even more perfect.

Zhang Zhi saw the start of the intelligent robot and formally established the industrial center of the moon base.

He found himself in the control center with nothing else to do.

Zhang Zhi bid farewell to Yu Zhiyuan, telling him to look for him for something.

He took the flying car and rushed towards his company.

In the past few days, it was the manufacturing company under the company, and they concentrated on the anti-gravity building.

He browsed through, today's hot news.

Of course, the hottest thing is that Huaxia officially announced the existence of the moon base.

Zhang Zhi can imagine that there are many people on Earth now.

They used astronomical telescopes to aim at the direction of the moon base and monitored the base at all times.

When he returned to the Anti-Gravity Building, he saw that Qu Xiaoyan had arranged the transfer of the manufacturing company in an orderly manner.

Seeing Zhang Zhi coming, Qu Xiaoyan said with a smile: You are done with your work now, the transfer of the factory is basically completed now, and everything is going well.

Then she looked at Zhang Zhi and said mysteriously: Now there are rumors on the Internet that the moon will become like the South Pole in the future.

The land on the moon belongs to all mankind. Is this news true? What about our country.

Who did you listen to? There is no such thing. Zhang Zhi stopped in his tracks, showing a surprised expression.

Now is the time for staking land, just like the era of great voyages.

Whoever found the land and was able to establish a foothold there.

This land belongs to the developer, and now the space development operation represented by the moon.

Its internal rules are almost the same as those in the Age of Discovery.

In addition to means of war, want to deprive other countries of their territories. It is still owned by a big country, which is simply unrealistic.

When Qu Xiaoyan heard what Zhang Zhi said, she felt a little relieved.

From noon today, almost immediately, major Western media began to report that the moon belongs to all mankind.

They also say that their country is ready to establish a bill on the status of the moon.

I thought all of your major countries had already reached an agreement.

I just said that due to the nature of our country, it is impossible to make wedding dresses for others, and it is a waste of work.

After Zhang Zhi heard the ins and outs, he said flatly: The clown is nothing to worry about.
