I Have a Little Black Hole

If the accelerated construction of the lunar base is enough to make many countries uneasy, then the next actions of the Infinite Gravity Group have escalated their anxiety to the point of sleepless nights.

Because the last Infinite Gravity Group in these 6 launches did a big thing with the spacecraft, that is, it used the spacecraft to put automatic ground exploration equipment in the areas on the moon where a large amount of minerals were detected by the satellite!

The weight of each exploration vehicle is only about 5 tons, but the detection equipment they carry is specially customized for the topography of the lunar surface by each relevant laboratory, and the relevant technical level is at least one level ahead of the world.

In a sense, the lunar exploration rover belongs to robotics. Whether the lunar rover is wheeled or legged, it should have basic functions such as forward, backward, turning, climbing, fetching, sampling and turning (turning over after falling).

Even rudimentary artificial intelligence (e.g. recognizing, climbing or bypassing obstacles, etc.). These are similar to what modern robots have.

However, these functions alone are not enough for the lunar rover. It is a robot that performs exploration tasks in the special environment of space - a space robot, which has both the attributes of a robot and the characteristics of a spacecraft, which is different from the industrial robots, medical robots and household robots used on the ground.

Light weight, small size, and low power consumption has always been the golden rule of spacecraft design. It has been called the three conventional items in the evaluation indicators of recent aerospace superiority products. The pursuit of light, small and low is the key to spacecraft research and development. eternal theme.

The longer the voyage, the higher the requirements, and the lighter, smaller and lower requirements for the mass, volume and power consumption of the lunar probe. Even now, the spacecraft of the Infinite Gravity Group can transport nearly 600 tons of materials to the moon at one time. However, the laboratory has not given up these design criteria when designing the lunar exploration rover.

Because this carrying capacity is not really high, the construction materials of the lunar advance base and the underground base have to be transported from the earth for a long time. It is better to save a little weight.

After all, no one knows which one to choose between a 5-ton lunar exploration rover and a 10-ton exploration vehicle with the same functions, so the number of lunar exploration vehicles in this warehouse can be sent to 118.

And after so many lunar exploration vehicles have been put into the mining areas on the moon, many countries really can't sit still this time. They have to consider for a long time to launch a lunar surface exploration vehicle on the moon. How else can people live?

Although the Infinite Gravity Group did not explicitly say what we are going to do, the meaning of their large-scale deployment of mineral exploration vehicles is not too obvious!

Because the Infinite Gravity Group announced their plans to build a mining and smelting factory on the moon a long time ago,

It even announced plans to build a related equipment manufacturing factory on the moon, intending to make the moon base achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency in the future, without sending anything so far from the earth.

Your current large-scale deployment of mining exploration vehicles does not mean that you have already started to move towards this plan. Of course, to build a mining and smelting plant, you must first find a good enough mining area before starting work.

As we all know, the moon is rich in minerals, and it can be found that there are more rare metal reserves on the moon than on the earth just by preliminary exploration using satellites and some ground exploration vehicles.

There are three main types of rocks on the moon, the first is lunar basalt rich in iron and titanium; the second is plagioclase, rich in potassium, rare earth and phosphorus, etc., mainly distributed in the lunar highlands; the third is mainly It is a breccia composed of debris particles of 0.1 to 1 mm.

The moon rocks contain all the elements in the earth and about 60 kinds of minerals, of which 6 kinds of minerals are not found on the earth. The moon's mineral resources are extremely rich. Take the 17 most common elements on the earth as an example, their reserves in the moon can be Not small at all.

Taking iron as an example, only 5 centimeters of sand on the lunar surface contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire lunar surface has an average of 10 meters of sand. Iron on the lunar surface is not only exceptionally abundant, but also easy to mine and smelt.

The iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, as long as the oxygen and iron are separated; in addition, scientists have developed a way to use lunar soil and rocks to make cement and glass. In the lunar surface, aluminum content is also very rich.

Not to mention other things, the mining and use of iron, titanium, aluminum and other metals can greatly save valuable transportation capacity. Everyone knows that the weight of these things is the most important in the materials transported from the earth to the moon.

However, both the construction of the base and the construction of future factories and cities are inseparable from these metal materials. It is obviously impossible to transport them from the earth all the time, so it can only be mined and processed on the moon.

The lunar soil is also rich in helium-3. Although this substance is not used by everyone now, it does not prevent everyone from wanting to occupy more first, because it represents the energy of the future.

The content of helium 3 in the lunar soil is estimated to be at least 715,000 tons. If you really want to mine helium 3, then for every ton of helium 3 extracted from the lunar soil, you can also get 6300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1600 tons of helium. Tons of carbon, these resources are all things that the moon base needs!

And so many mineral resource data are still preliminary detection data, and there may be more reserves that have not been detected. It is obvious that human beings want to go to space civilization without the support of these mineral resources on the moon.

It is precisely because of this that the large-scale deployment of exploration vehicles by the Infinite Gravity Group makes many countries sleepless, because if the rich mining areas on the moon are all discovered and occupied by the Infinite Gravity Group, then they will be behind. Thinking about developing on the moon is a very difficult thing!

At that time, even if they want to build a base on the moon, it will be a difficult thing. After all, reality is not a TV series. You can't steal your home with a wrench. The base defense of the Infinite Gravity Group will not be discussed, even if it is working in the mining area. You can't do it with a robot.

And judging from the consistent style of the Infinite Gravity Group, if you dare to attack their company's base on the moon, they may destroy all your existence on the moon in the next instant, which is simply irrelevant to them. It's too simple. Who can't see the maneuverability of the [Chuxin] spacecraft through such a long live broadcast!
