I Have a Little Black Hole

Chapter 905 The Dangerous Moon!

Therefore, the company's propaganda department used the media resources and technical advantages that the company mastered to suppress some news that was not conducive to the company, so as to ensure that the company could have an advantage in the field of propaganda.

When the new propaganda war on the earth was in full swing, Lei Tiantang and others on the Moon Advance Base had completed the overall visit and were ready to start their own work. Of course, before that, they first had to enter the Going to the airtight cabin of the base is not an easy task!

The environment on the moon is completely different from that on the earth. It can be said to be dangerous. In ancient times, people were full of beautiful imaginations about the moon, such as Chang'e flying to the moon, Guanghan Palace, Wu Gang's cutting Gui and so on.

But after humans really explored the moon, they found that the moon is not as beautiful as we imagined, and its surface is only desolate.

It is traditionally believed that human life on the moon and other airless celestial bodies is threatened by cosmic radiation, high-energy particles and some other properties of outer space, such as the threat of meteorite impact.

As a satellite of the earth, the moon has always been guarding the earth's side. It protects the earth from the impact of meteorite asteroids in the universe, so we can see that the moon is full of large and small craters. This danger is visible to the naked eye. of.

You must know that the moon has no atmosphere. If astronauts and bases encounter a meteorite impact, even if only a fragmented meteorite the size of a fingernail hits, it is very, very dangerous. The power can be imagined!

Of course, the company's scientists will not ignore this kind of threat that can be found at a glance. They use the high-performance protective materials developed by the material company, and through scientific design, they have added a layer of very strong defense to the outer layer of the base cabin. The defense layer ensures that even if the base encounters some minor meteorite impacts, it will not be penetrated.

Of course, specially designed space suits can also ensure the safety of astronauts. After all, the company has a convenient test equipment such as electromagnetic railguns. Of course, it can test whether the space suit can defend against the impact of small debris meteorites.

Moreover, the detection system composed of the detection radar installed in the base and various satellite detectors in lunar orbit can also detect these high-speed moving meteorites in advance, and can give early warning before the danger is found.

Then a set of defense systems consisting of electromagnetic railguns and laser weapon systems are used to resist the impact of these meteorites on the base. Those fragments of meteorites that are difficult to find and the meteorite fragments generated after the defensive attack are basically not too dangerous.

Therefore, such obvious dangers can basically be ruled out, but in addition to these threats, there are also some dangers that everyone would ignore if they did not undergo careful scientific research. This kind of dangerous factors from the moon itself will also give astronauts And the security of the forward base brings a huge threat!

If humans want to truly conquer the moon,

Set up a base there, then, the dust of the moon can be a huge obstacle on the road of human conquest of the moon.

In a previous study by American scientists, some pharmacologists, geneticists and geoscientists found that exposure to lunar dust could seriously affect the health of future astronauts.

The old American Apollo 17 spacecraft carried 3 astronauts to complete the last human lunar walk on the moon so far. After falling down several times during the investigation, the surface of the spacesuit was covered with dust and helmets. The goggles were not smooth, and there were countless small scratches, especially the helmet damage.

He even doubted that the suit would hold up to the planned EVA before returning to Earth. And the astronauts also lamented to the command center in Houston that I have never seen so much dust in my life.

After returning to the lunar module, the two even struggled to take off their gloves, because although the spacesuit added a protective flap, dust still got into the mechanical joint.

After returning to Earth, the two also confirmed a statement made by all astronauts since the Apollo 11 lunar exploration mission: One of the main problems encountered in landing on the moon is dust, and it is necessary to return to the moon and establish a semi-permanent base. This problem must be solved.

This problem was also discovered by scientists from the Infinite Gravity Group. After preliminary exploration and research, they also found that if this problem is not solved, it is impossible to complete the colonization of the moon.

So what problems could this lunar dust pose? The first is, of course, the severe damage to the lunar equipment. Although the lunar dust looks like talc, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

In fact, lunar dust is a kind of regolith, mainly composed of silicified or vitrified fragments. The average diameter of these small particles is only 20 microns, and most of them are less than 5 microns, and they form a moon with a thickness of several meters. Surface topsoil layer, and this layer of topsoil is very destructive.

You must know that the moon has no atmosphere and no water, and has not suffered any erosion for more than 4 billion years, so every grain of dust here retains its original shape, and their sharp edges and corners can only be seen under a microscope. Comparable to the best-in-class abrasives used in industrial production on earth!

If astronauts stay in this environment for several hours, these abrasives can cause problems in the spacesuit, threatening the life of the astronauts.

What is even more troublesome is that, in addition to direct wear and tear, these dusts will stick to the surface of the spacesuit like the Velcro, even if you use a brush or vacuum cleaner, etc. Particles felt helpless.

In addition, there are some metal components such as iron, aluminum, and titanium in this reclaimed soil. Under the radiation of sunlight, these substances make the dust generate static electricity, which makes it easier to adsorb on the surface of various metal or plastic products, especially gloves, The seam between the helmet and the hatch will reduce the sealing of these devices, and even cause gas leakage in severe cases.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the existence of these dusts that after the spacesuits equipped for the Apollo missions have been used on the lunar surface for more than 20 hours, there will be great safety hazards, posing major threats to astronauts.

Why did the scientists of the Infinite Gravity Group customize spacesuits suitable for use on the moon, instead of using the previous spacesuits used in space station capabilities? The reason is that they also found that if they want to work on the lunar base for a long time, the quality and safety of the spacesuit is a problem that must be solved!
