One Hundred and Seventieth Chapters, the Moon Nuggets Five

In the Sea of ​​Tranquility on the Moon, in the Moon Mining Base of the Galaxy Group, the astronauts gathered together and enjoyed a beautiful dinner on the moon.

Of course, outside the mining base, the sun hangs high in the sky, and there is no sign of night at all.

Outside the window, the figure of the earth is clearly visible, like a sapphire inlaid in the dark void. The side facing the moon is darkness, and Huaxia has just entered the darkness.

According to the plan and schedule, it was time for them to rest.

Although they are on the moon, they are not alone. The moon also has a communication and positioning system covering the entire moon. They can call, surf the Internet, chat with their family members on the earth side, and so on.

Wu Renjie was about to make a phone call to his family, because he had already bought an astronomical telescope for his daughter, and the better the time, he could call each other across the long distance between the earth and the moon.

"Om~"

Wu Renjie took out the satellite mobile phone specially equipped by Galaxy Technology Group and dialed the phone number at home.

"Dad~"

After waiting for several minutes, the phone was connected, and the voice of Wu Renjie's daughter came from the phone.

"Baby, did you miss Dad?"

"Yes~ I really want to, Dad, is it fun on the moon?"

"Is there Fairy Chang'e? Have you seen the little white rabbit?"

Wu Renjie's daughter is just like a curious baby. Questions keep popping up one after another, making Wu Renjie too late to answer.

"Dad didn't tell you that there is neither Fairy Chang'e nor Little White Rabbit on the moon."

Wu Renjie couldn't help but smile and said very patiently.

"But why did the teacher say that there is a little white rabbit on the moon? I want to ask Dad to bring one back for me."

"That's because the teacher didn't come to the moon, so she didn't know. Dad is on the moon now, and he couldn't find the little white rabbit no matter how he looked."

"That's it, then I will come to the moon to find the little white rabbit when I grow up."

"Then baby, you have to grow up quickly~"

"Have you ever looked at the moon with a telescope?"

"Yes, have you found where Dad is?"

"No~ Mom said she's trying to find Dad, and she'll tell me when she finds it~"

"..."

Wu Renjie kept chatting with his little lover, and the other teammates were not idle either. But still attracted a large number of fans.

Early the next morning, Wu Renjie was automatically woken up by the long-established biological alarm clock. Looking at the time, it was only 6 o'clock, which was still very early.

When I woke up and opened the window, nothing had changed.

The sun is still in that position, the earth is still the same, and it seems that there is no change at all. On the moon, if there is no time-counting thing, it is difficult for you to find the flow of time.

Because everything seems to be the same forever, there is no change in the weather, there is no rising of the sun, moon and stars, and there is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter throughout the year.

It is like this today, it will still be like this tomorrow, it will still be like this 10,000 years ago, a million years ago, and it will remain the same forever.

Soon, the teammates woke up from their sleep. No one was sleepy last night.

All played late.

Of course, it's not just that they played late, but the relatives and friends on this side of the earth are like curious little babies, asking all kinds of questions endlessly.

So that everyone slept quite late last night. Fortunately, there are no special strict restrictions on Galaxy Technology Group. If you go to bed later, you can go to bed later, as long as it does not affect your work.

At 7 o'clock Earth China time, after breakfast, everyone started to get busy again, and there were still many things to be busy with.

The expansion of the lunar mining base, the assumption of a solar cell version, the construction of a lunar laboratory, etc., there are many things, and the day is full.

On Wu Renjie's side, he was driving a lunar mining vehicle and began to explore resources around the base, collecting rock and soil samples and so on.

Although scientists have already conducted preliminary exploration of resources on the moon through resource exploration satellites, resource exploration satellites are after all in space, and there are limitations in using technology.

For the exploration of this resource, the best way is to walk aside and collect a large number of samples, and see these samples sent to the laboratory for testing, so as to be able to accurately grasp.

"Drip~"

Wu Renjie drove the lunar mining rover on the desolate moon, showing that the resource exploration equipment on the rover kept making beeping sounds.

The surrounding area is very rich in resources, and there are a lot of various mineral deposits. If they can be selected by the Galaxy Mining Group, there will naturally be no shortage of resources here.

The mining rover drives on the lunar surface. When it is discovered, Wu Renjie will control the lunar rover to collect the soil and rocks on the moon surface every 100 meters or so, and then drill holes to collect underground rocks and soil samples.

With points as surfaces, scientists can clearly know the distribution of resources in the surrounding area by analyzing samples at different points and depths.

This work is very simple, but very cumbersome. Fortunately, there are lunar mining vehicles for all this, otherwise it will take a long time to explore the resources in the surrounding area.

Earth, the ground control command center is here.

On a huge map, various points are displayed on it. Each point represents a mineral resource. The larger the point, the richer the resource reserve.

Around the location of the lunar mining base, the surrounding dots are densely packed, very many, many of which are overlapping, and the most of them are the white dots representing rare earth mines.

"In the northeast direction of our base, the rare earth distribution in this area is very dense. According to the current data, the content of rare earth is extremely astonishing, and looking at this data, the reserves should exceed 30 million tons. It can be said that every square of soil here, Each rock contains extremely rich rare earth resources."

Several scientists continued to analyze the existing data, and soon roughly determined an area.

Rare earth ore is the most important resource mined by Xinghe Mining Group on the moon, because rare earth ore contains a large amount of rare metals. Through deep smelting of rare earth ore, various rare metals can be obtained. The thing that Galaxy Technology Group lacks the most right now.

"I remember that the total amount of rare earth resources that have been clearly explored on our earth is only about 130 million tons. The reserves of this rare earth mine will be 30 million tons?"

I don't know when Qin Yi and Lu Qingwei came over. After hearing the analysis of several scientists, Lu Qingwei asked in disbelief.

Although the resources on the moon are extremely rich, Lu Qingwei has already heard it many times, but this casual rare earth mine is said to have more than 30 million reserves, which is really unbelievable.

"This is only our preliminary estimate based on the exploration situation. The specific situation can only be obtained by analyzing the samples collected from the moon."

"This rare earth resource is very precious on our earth and its reserves are scarce, but this does not mean that it is also very rare on the moon."

"It's like gold. The reserves on earth are extremely rare and very limited, but in the universe, maybe there is a planet that is all made of gold, and everything is possible."

"It's like on the earth, in the desert, water resources are extremely scarce, but in some places, precipitation is abundant all year round, and water resources are extremely abundant. Do people living in desert areas think that the whole world is the same as them? "

"Put it into the universe, and the principle is the same."

Hearing Lu Qingwei's words, someone explained with a smile.

"That's it~"

ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Lu Qingwei nodded in understanding, which made Qin Yi on the side couldn't help laughing.

In the science and technology tower, Qin Yi has seen too many, too many such cases. There is a very classic sentence in the trade in the interstellar universe.

One thing may be very common on this planet, but it is more expensive than gold on other planets, just like before the era of large-scale navigation on the earth, spices on the islands of Southeast Asia were nothing more than ordinary weeds, but In Europe, it has become a spice that countless nobles are vying to snatch.

"It looks like our first pot of gold on the moon will be dug up in this area."

Qin Yi looked at the data on the display and said with a smile.

Here in the Sea of ​​Tranquility on the Moon, the astronauts have completed all kinds of work, but there is still a big thing waiting for them to do next.

The 'Lushan' spacecraft is about to return, and it will go back and forth between the earth and the moon every day, transporting massive materials from the earth to the moon, setting up smelting factories, testing laboratories, and so on.

Even if this spacecraft comes to the moon just to calculate the electricity bill and the depreciation of the spacecraft, etc., it will be calculated into millions for a casual trip.

This is full, and it is naturally impossible to go back empty this time.

Near the mining base, an area rich in rare earth resources has been explored. There is a hot scene here, and the three lunar mining vehicles are very busy.

The huge digging shovel packs a shovel, a shovel of lunar soil, rocks, etc. into standard boxes. After each box is filled, the box is immediately transported to the 'Lushan' spacecraft.

The working efficiency of the lunar mining vehicle is very high. Soon, a small mountain bag was hollowed out by three lunar mining vehicles, and all of them were packed into boxes and transported to the 'Lushan' spacecraft.

These soils, rocks, etc. rich in rare earth minerals will be transported back to the earth, and the rare earth minerals in them will be smelted on the earth's side.

PS: Does anyone know how to extract rare earth ore from soil and rocks?
