Five Hundred and Fortieth Nine Military Presence
The command center immediately ordered the temporary base to find out the heavy water reserves as soon as possible.
After Ye Han drew the approximate range of the heavy water area, he conducted a more detailed sampling survey, and the sampling distance was directly reduced from one kilometer to one hundred meters.
Surveying 30 square kilometers required a lot of work, and after another week passed, the situation of the entire heavy water area gradually became clear, and Ye Han added more sampling points in the area with the highest heavy water content.
Because the sampling area was reduced, the sampling distance was finally reduced to ten meters.
I personally marked the survey results on the map. After the last mark was completed, the heavy water area on the map became an ellipse. The part with the highest content was located west of the center of the ellipse. The record of heavy water content also rose from 9.5% to 17.2%. , almost doubled!
The expert team believes that the cause of this phenomenon is likely to be an asteroid rich in heavy water that crashed into the icy lake.
As for how much heavy water is stored in the entire heavy water area, Ye Han doesn't care at all, and he doesn't have the ability to calculate it.
The experts at the space center have the answer, but the heavy water area has been a state secret from the very beginning. Even those who don’t know dare to ask, but those who know don’t dare to tell.
After the investigation, the matter of heavy water was shelved by Beidu as if it had never happened. The entire lake area was divided into various areas. The heavy water area was classified as a no-mining area, and no one was allowed to mine ice; The shallow water area is not suitable for mining ice mines; the rest of the area is all divided into deep water areas, but it is also divided into mineable and non-minable. It is said that there is some plan on the ground.
All in all, Ye Han can only collect ice in a few designated areas in the future, instead of letting the entire lake area run freely.
Half a month after the second team arrived on the moon, the third team successfully arrived on the moon and built another base one kilometer away from the second team. The burden on Ye Han was even heavier.
After that, the spaceships were launched from the ground at intervals of 15 to 20 days. Two months later, there were four temporary bases in the crater, fifty astronauts, and four construction sites. Thousands of moon rocks were dug out every day. Tons, the communication with the command center reaches 24 hours without interruption, not only can contact the ground anytime and anywhere, but also browse the Internet to read news.
Due to the convenience of communication, even if they are far away on the moon, astronauts still know the situation on the earth very well.
At this time, the northern hemisphere has entered midsummer, but the environment in the crater mountain has not changed for hundreds of millions of years. Ye Han has long forgotten about the seasonal changes. It was not until he saw his wife wearing a thin summer dress in the video with Bai Xiaoting that Ye Han suddenly realized When is it now, I can't help sighing that I have long forgotten what a season is.
It was only when talking to Bai Xiaoting that Ye Han felt that he was still a living person.
It's not that he has any world-weary thoughts, but that there are too few people in the temporary base. Everyone has been together for a long time, and they have said everything they can say over and over again. Ye Han has already memorized the eight generations of everyone's ancestors. The tacit understanding between them seems to be one person, there is really nothing to say.
In fact, I don't have so much to talk to Bai Xiaoting, but even if I just look at Bai Xiaoting's appearance, Ye Han's heart can be filled with happiness.
The world is separated, and the two of them can only use this method to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Everything was done step by step until Gao Kai called all the team leaders together: "I just received a report from the command center that the US manned spacecraft has been launched into space and will reach the moon in a few days."
Gao Kai is now the highest person in charge on the moon, in charge of all affairs of the four temporary bases.
The team leaders gathered here are the specific persons in charge of each base. The No. 2 and No. 3 temporary bases only have the engineering team and the logistics team, and the No. 1 and No. 4 bases also have a water supply and oxygen production team. There are ten team leaders in total.
It is these ten team leaders and dozens of astronauts who supported the construction of the lunar base.
Gao Kai looked around everyone with piercing eyes: "Everyone knows the situation over there. The equipment is basically in place, but the police haven't arrived yet. As the old saying goes, you must be cautious. What the command center means is, let's be more careful. , be on guard against the Americans."
In recent months, the international base led by the United States has been preparing equipment, and a spacecraft has arrived on the moon every few days.
There is no atmospheric refraction here, and you can see the spacecraft take off and land clearly with just an ordinary telescope.
Although the lunar base was first established and did not have the ability to travel long distances, the temporary base and the ground command center have been paying attention to the international base through satellites, and they are well aware of the preparations for the international base.
The Yankees are not stupid either. They have also prepared several moon-circling satellites and have been monitoring the situation of the temporary base. The current situation is that neither side has any secrets, at least on the surface.
Gao Kai added: "According to the instructions of the command center, notify all members of the military team to prepare for the handover. The military team will enter the standby state immediately and prepare to deal with the uncertainties brought by the international base."
"How to solve the personnel gap?" Hu Liang asked the team leaders' aspirations.
"Aerospace 5, which is about to reach the moon, will no longer build a new base. The astronauts on board 5 will fill the vacancy left by the military team and enrich the strength of the existing four teams...Ye Han!"
"arrive!"
"The work of the third group will be handed over to Duan Zhiyang immediately, but until the arrival of the 5th, the military group will not be able to move for the time being. You have to pick up the burden first."
Ye Han frowned: "I obey the organizational arrangement, but the military team is poor and useless, what should I use to start my work?"
Gao Kai immediately said: "The command center instructed you to be in charge of the monitoring of the international base from now on. In addition, the ground agreed to allocate some resources to print weapons and equipment. The ground has prepared digital models for printing. Later, you will contact the command center yourself. a bit."
"Okay!" Ye Han nodded, his heart was burning.
After working as a miner for more than two months, he has almost forgotten what it feels like to fight.
"After the equipment is in place, don't expose it. The meaning of the ground is that the international base is currently not a threat. We must focus on the construction of the base. We must have military power. At the same time, we must also downplay the military presence to avoid turning the construction of the moon base into a threat." The arms race on the moon, when the Yankees dare to blow up their hair and stretch their claws, give them a taste... My personal opinion is that Ye Han is in charge of the military team for the time being, and the others are ready but there is no need to leave production.”
Several team leaders nodded together, agreeing with Gao Kai's plan, and even Ye Han voted for it: "I basically agree with Captain Gao's suggestion. My opinion is that people can not be concentrated, but weapons and equipment must be in place in advance."
Gao Kai sighed: "The ground only approved your equipment, the others can wait a little longer."
"Wait until when?" Ye Han asked
"The raw materials are transported by Aerospace 5."
