Chapter 1536 The poles of the moon

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘Detection is still necessary. Because of detection, we can know more secrets. ’

So, Zhao Zhongyao landed on the moon in a flying saucer. Zhao Zhongyao chose a relatively large circular crater, and then let the flying saucer fall into the crater.

After the flying saucer stopped, Zhao Zhongyao began to observe the terrain to see which piece of soil he needed to study.

At this moment, Feifei looked at his father and said, 'Dad, what are we going to study! Do you want to study these craters? '

‘That’s right, we’re going to look at the age of these craters. In this way, we can know when these craters were formed by impact. When we know when these craters were impacted, we know how they formed. 'Zhao Zhongyao felt that as long as he could detect the age of these craters, he would know a lot of secrets about the back of the moon.

'So how do we conduct research? ’ Feifei looked at his father in puzzlement and asked.

‘Our flying saucer spaceship is not an ordinary flying saucer spaceship, our flying saucer is very advanced. There are many detection tools on it, we can detect the geological age. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

'Okay, then let's watch Dad conduct geological exploration! ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.

'Okay, you are watching. See how I detect the geological age of these craters. After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he began to remotely control a small unmanned aerial probe. This is a small unmanned aerial probe with various mining tools on it, which can collect some rock samples from the surface of the planet, and then return to the mother ship.

Feifei, Tiantian, and Qu Yuqian watched as Zhao Zhongyao was manipulating a small flying vehicle, which flew out from a special hatch on the flying saucer. Then, on the wall of the crater next to it, a small piece of rock was collected, and it flew back into the flying saucer.

When the unmanned aerial vehicle flew back to the flying saucer spacecraft with the rock sample. Zhao Zhongyao can analyze the composition of this rock and the time when it appeared in this place in the special laboratory inside the spacecraft.

Feifei, Tiantian, and Qu Yuqian were just sitting in the cabin, waiting for Zhao Zhongyao to analyze the data about this rock.

The instruments Zhao Zhongyao is using now are also very advanced. Soon he analyzed the relevant data of this rock.

After analysis, Zhao Zhongyao knew that this rock was the rock on the moon. Only its ingredients have changed. Not quite the same as moon rocks elsewhere. Obviously, this piece of moon rock was hit by a huge meteorite before. The high temperature generated at that time changed the chemical composition of this rock.

After analysis, Zhao Zhongyao knew that the time when the composition of this rock changed was about 10,000 years. Although 10,000 years is a very long time for an ordinary person. But compared with the age of a planet, it is so short that it is not worth mentioning.

After Zhao Zhongyao knew some data about this rock, he returned to the cabin from the laboratory.

Seeing his father coming, Feifei hurriedly asked, 'Dad, how is your analysis, are these craters really very young? '

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at everyone and smiled, 'Of course, the age of this crater is only about 10,000 years. Exactly what I had imagined. '

‘So, the records in the Mayan Bible we read before are all correct. These craters on the back of the moon are really the result of the catastrophe 10,000 years ago. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.

‘Of course, the data obtained from the rock sample I just analyzed are the same as those we have seen from the Mayan Bible. It's just that we just looked at the age of this crater that was detected. This is not enough to prove that the earth-shattering event 10,000 years ago is the direct evidence of these craters. We still need to detect some more craters before we can prove that these craters were indeed caused by the catastrophe 10,000 years ago. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

‘So are we going to explore some more craters? ’ Feifei looked at Dad again and said.

'Yes, let's explore some more craters and see. If all the detection results are similar to this crater, it can prove that the sky collapse 10,000 years ago was real. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

'Okay, let's explore some more craters. ’ Feifei said again.

'Okay, let's keep flying forward! Just watch how I do the detection! However, you also have to learn. Now I'm just showing you guys. When we actually start our solar system travel adventure, you can't just watch, you must try it yourself. '

Zhao Zhongyao knew that what he was doing now was teaching two children! They must learn to operate the unmanned aerial heater to collect rock samples from other asteroids or large planets and moons in the solar system.

'Dad, we'll take a closer look. ’ Said Feifei.

'yes! Dad. We'll take a closer look. ’ Said the same every day.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao began to drive the flying saucer spacecraft again to detect craters. Feifei and Tiantian are standing beside their father, earnestly

Watching Dad maneuver the unmanned aerial probe and continue the rock-collecting activity.

Feifei and Tiantian watched carefully, after all, for them, this was an opportunity to learn. In the future, when their expedition group is completed and they start exploring the solar system, the two of them will definitely complete this work independently.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao conducted geological exploration of some craters on the back of the moon. The detection results were the same as the previous one. The data from the subsequent detection is the same as the data from the first detection.

With these data, it can be fully demonstrated that the catastrophe 10,000 years ago was real. So many craters on the back of the moon are the result of that catastrophe 10,000 years ago.

'Dad, is the data you are detecting now the same as the one you detected before? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked.

‘Yes, it is indeed the same as the previous detection. It can now be fully explained that these craters were the result of the catastrophe 10,000 years ago. Zhao Zhongyao said so.

‘Dad, shall we continue to travel and explore on the back of the moon in the next step? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

'Well, we have now learned the secret of the far side of the moon. It's time to get out of here. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

'Then where should we go next! We have seen both the front and the back of the moon. What else is there to see. ’ Feifei looked at Dad again and said.

'yes! Dad, what else is there to see on the moon. Is there nothing to see. On the moon, in addition to craters, isn't it still a crater! ’ Said the same every day.

After hearing what the two children said, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said, "Although we have seen the front and back of the moon, we haven't seen the two poles of the moon yet!" I think it's better if we go to see the poles of the moon again. '

As soon as Feifei heard his father say this, he said happily, 'Dad, what do the two poles of the moon look like. Is it similar to other places? '

Listening to Feifei every day, he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked, 'Dad, are the two poles of the moon beautiful! Are they also some craters? '

After hearing what the two children said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'How could it be! The poles of the moon are not the same as other places. '

'Oh, what's the difference? ’ When Feifei heard his father say this, he became curious again.

'Dad, tell me, what do the poles of the moon look like? ’ Tiantian also began to be curious.

After hearing what the two children said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, Haha, look at how anxious you two are. It seems that you are really eager for knowledge now! Well, let me tell you about the poles of the moon! '

'Okay, Dad, tell me quickly. ’ Feifei said with a happy smile.

'Dad, you have to make a better story. ’ Tian Tian also said with a smile.

‘Haha, if you want to talk about the two poles of the moon, it’s really exciting! All right! Listen carefully, let me tell you slowly! '

Next, Zhao Zhongyao began to tell the two children about the poles of the moon. Qu Yuqian also sat beside Zhao Zhongyao curiously, listening to him tell stories about the poles of the moon.

‘Before, we also sent probes to the poles of the moon. We already have a general understanding of the poles of the moon. When Zhao Zhongyao and the others were building the Moon City, they had a general understanding of the situation on the moon.

Zhao Zhongyao said this first, then paused, and then said, ‘For residents who want to live on another planet, the first thing that comes to mind is the issue of water sources. After all, if humans want to migrate to other planets, the first thing they need to solve is the problem of water sources. If this problem cannot be solved, it is impossible to survive on another planet.

Water is the source of life. If people on earth want to land and live on the moon, a prerequisite is to have sufficient water resources. Scientists generally believe that the moon's gravity is too small to attract water.

There are signatures of water ice in some permanently dark regions near the Moon's south pole. The neutron spectrometer onboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft we launched earlier proved that there is a high concentration of hydrogen in the dark regions at the moon's poles, most likely hydrogen contained in water ice.

Our scientists intentionally crashed the Lunar Prospector on the moon in order to erupt water vapor from the lunar surface. Several ground and space telescopes pointed at the impact zone for plumes of vapor, but found nothing. The tilt of the Moon's axis of rotation is only 1.5 degrees, almost perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

So when viewed from the lunar poles, the sun is always near the lunar horizon. If somewhere near the Moon's poles is hundreds of meters below the average height of the Moon's surface, such as the Shackleton Crater region at the Moon's south pole, it will be permanently in shadow from the sun's rays. These permanently dark areas are extremely cold, the temperature is only - (223 ~ 203) c.

Water ice released when comets and asteroids hit the moon can accumulate in these frigid regions because it is never evaporated by sunlight. Scientists estimate that there may be more than 10 billion tons of water ice in the uppermost layer about 0.3m thick in the two polar regions of the moon. Although we built a moon city and a moon base on the moon. But we must understand whether there is water ice available for human use on the moon, and the size and distribution of water ice reserves.

If it is confirmed that there is water ice at the south pole of the moon, it can be melted into water to produce rocket fuel or oxygen, and a semi-permanent manned lunar base can be built near it. To this end, our scientists plan to launch another ship called "

The spacecraft of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, its main task is to determine the global radiation environment of the moon, draw a high-resolution global topographic map of the moon, draw a high-resolution hydrogen element distribution map, detect the light environment and temperature of the polar regions of the moon, and determine the permanent darkness of the polar regions Whether water ice really exists in the region will provide useful data for the design and development of future manned moon landing spacecraft, and select possible landing sites for future astronauts and robots to land on the moon.

The design mass of the "Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter" is about 1000kg, of which the propellant mass accounts for 50%. The spacecraft will be equipped with six scientific instruments, including the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter, Survey Camera, Neutron Detector, Lunar Radiometer, Raman-Alpha Mapping Spectrometer and Cosmic Ray Telescope. In addition, the spacecraft will also carry a small exploration spacecraft called the "Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite" in order to find water sources by impacting the lunar surface.

It's just that after we conducted such an experiment, we didn't see the results we wanted. It seems that there is no water at the poles of the moon. This is why we did not consider using the water resources on the moon when we built the moon city later.

This is mainly because, first of all, we are not yet sure whether there are water resources on the moon. Also, even if there is, it is more difficult to develop it. Because of this, we intend to transport water directly from the earth to the moon.

Of course, the main reason why we think this way is because we have a super-giant Venusian ship. We have this super gigantic Venusian ship. Even transporting water from the earth to the moon is relatively easy.
