Chapter 1603 Lunar Geology

In a laboratory building jointly built by the aerospace department of Jiuzhou Technology and the Titanium Star department, five transparent glass bottles were taken out of a constant temperature and airless box by a robotic arm.

One bottle contained a few inconspicuous black stones the size of rice grains, and the other four bottles contained a little black powder.

The glass bottles were filled with inert gas such as nitrogen, and even the entire experimental operation room was filled with this special inert gas, just to protect the black stones and powder in the bottles from being polluted by the air.

Liu Tang, a core engineer of the lunar landing project of the aerospace department of Jiuzhou Technology, carefully operated the robotic arm to slowly open the glass bottle on the operating table outside the laboratory, and then took out two black stones from it.

After putting the black stones away for preservation, he then took out the black powder from a bottle.

At this moment, his hands were comparable to those of an elite surgeon.

Because these things are not ordinary stones or powders, they are precious "extraterrestrial visitors".

1 lunar rock debris sample and 4 lunar soil powder samples.

"The lunar soil samples of the United States were collected from 6 lunar landing sites, and the samples of the front team were collected from 3 lunar landing sites.

The sampling sites selected by Daxia Aerospace Group are different from them, so they have different geological backgrounds." Li Yuan, an engineer researcher, said to the young man beside him.

Perhaps seeing a hint of doubt in the other person's eyes, Li Yuan also explained very considerately: "Because there is no water and air on the moon, the temperature can reach more than 100 degrees Celsius during the day, and it will drop to the coldest minus 200 degrees Celsius in the backlight at night.

This huge temperature difference between day and night makes the lunar rocks very easy to disintegrate, and since the birth of the moon, there have been huge meteorites hitting the moon. Frequent impacts have made the lunar rocks only maintain the normal state of Feng Shui, so there are many broken stones on the surface of the moon.

However, overall, there is still a huge difference between the lunar soil and the soil on the ground of our blue planet.

Our research The principle is to maintain the integrity of the samples as much as possible, use high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and in-situ micro-area secondary ion mass spectrometry to conduct research, and focus on the close combination of microscopic mineral structure and chemical composition to study lunar samples.

There is less loss. Although it cannot be returned to the warehouse as it is, one gram of sample is enough for us to study for several years, so as to maximize the value of these precious samples. "

Even if Jiuzhou Technology, which has rich R&D resources, is so cautious when facing lunar rocks and lunar soil, even after receiving the gift from Daxia Aerospace Group, it has always chosen non-destructive sample analysis methods for analysis. "

Gu Qing knew clearly that if he hadn't come to personally check the work today, I'm afraid these engineers and researchers would not open the new materials.

After all, the particle size of lunar soil is mostly only 0.1-0.4 microns, many of which are smaller than the healthy PM2.5.

After the most original samples were extracted, lunar geology expert Luo Song took Liu Tang and Li Yuan, two engineering researchers, to conduct a comprehensive comparison.

Gu Qing did not urge them to move faster.

As the person in charge of Jiuzhou Technology, he sat in the observation room of the laboratory, enjoying the massage of the ergonomic chair, listening to the soothing music of the Daxia Guqin, and relaxing his mood.

This is a treatment project assigned by Hu Ting, a psychological therapist of Jiuzhou Technology.

It must be done six times a week, for a total of more than three hours.

The waiting time was not long. When Gu Qing just felt a little relaxed in his mind, Luo Song, a lunar geology expert who was hired by the company with a high salary and even tailored for him to survive, walked into the observation room with a tablet shaped like a folder.

"Mr. Gu, the final comparison results are out. ”

Turn off the music, stop the massage function, Gu Qing stood up, took the tablet handed over by the other party, and then stretched out his right hand: "Thank you for the hard work of Mr. Luo and all the engineering researchers."

Luo Song held the young right hand, but his face was serious and said: "This is not hard, the retrieval and input of modeling data is the hardest. After all, Tiangong and Lingjing Ecology can help each other, but the most basic data still needs us to fill.

During this period, several researchers could not bear the pressure and chose to take the initiative to reduce data proofreading work. "

"Of course, we did not delay the completion and acceptance of the task because of this. ”

People are not robots after all, so Gu Qing was not surprised that someone backed down.

There is gain in loss.

Those people who are unwilling to devote all their energy to work think that they have gained ease, but at the same time they have lost the qualification for rapid promotion.

He is not a saint, nor a god who dominates people's hearts.

Gu Qing has never regarded his position in the hearts of others as important, and similarly, he has not equated the importance of the project with people's hearts.

"My eyes are a little tired, so let Liu Tang and Li Yuan help me with the next report."

"No problem." Facing this old man who could have lived out his life long ago, Gu Qing simply could not force him.

Liu Tang is a 1.83 meter tall young man from Northeast China, but I don't know if he has stayed in Rongcheng, Xishu for too long. When he made a report, his accent was more of Daxia Mandarin with a Xishu accent.

Although this was the first time he reported to Gu Qing at such a close distance, the young man from Northeast China did not tremble.

In Gu Qing's observation, the other party just breathed a little faster.

"By studying the nano-mineralogical characteristics of lunar samples, we examined the intensity of cosmic ray erosion and the combination, morphology, deformation characteristics and period of impact-caused minerals.

We found high-pressure minerals and extremely trace uranium-containing minerals in the samples we collected.

One thing is clear, that is, the original big impact hypothesis is biased.

The big impact hypothesis believes that the high temperature generated by the impact will cause the volatile elements of the moon to be irreversibly lost. Even fifteen years ago, our scientists on the blue planet basically believed that the interior of the moon, like the surface, did not have water, only very dry lunar soil and lunar rocks.

But in our detection of these samples, we found a certain amount of water.

We have communicated with the official staff of Daxia Aerospace Group responsible for lunar samples to confirm that they did not let the air of the blue planet enter the sealed boxes and sealed bottles.

Of course, according to current research, some lunar minerals contain structural water, and even water ice has been found in the north pole of the moon."
