Chapter 606: Chen Mo's Courage
"Academician Chen, are you sure it's true?"
"Sure."
"Is Luna 1 sure it will return today?"
"Sure." Chen Mo nodded and smiled helplessly: "Academician Zhang, you have asked five times in an hour since you came here, and I feel you are more anxious than me."
"hey-hey……"
Zhang Jianfeng grinned and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, looking forward to the return of Luna 1.
"How much lunar rock and lunar soil did you bring back this time?"
"Not much, only 26 kilograms." Chen Mo said, "I will give you 10 kilograms."
"Enough is enough."
Zhang Jianfeng's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
In the black market, the price of one gram of moon rock is 6 digits, and there is still no market for it. It is conceivable that 10 kilograms of moon rock is worth much.
He felt how lucky he was to cooperate with Chen Mo on the lunar exploration project. They have given a piece of data as an investment, and now the return they get has far exceeded their investment.
Time passed by in the waiting minutes. In the command center, the location of Luna 1 is reported every two minutes.
Half an hour later, the Mo girl beside Chen Mo spoke.
"Merge, Luna No. 1 has returned. It is about two thousand meters above the base and is descending."
"came back."
Chen Mo was also looking forward to it and led Zhang Jianfeng out of the command room.
Xiaoyu and Mo Nu also followed behind them.
Walking out of the command center and reaching the edge of the airport, everyone looked up at the sky. In the eyes of everyone, there is no shadow of Luna 1 yet.
"there."
Mo Nu pointed to a black spot under the white clouds in the sky.
The size of sesame seeds, if you don't look carefully, you will never find it is Luna No. 1.
Zhang Jianfeng was a little nervous,
Eyesight is not very good, still staring at the sky, hoping to find.
A minute later, the Luna 1 lander slowly enlarged in the sight of everyone. Luna 1, which is slightly larger than the water tank, sprays blue fireworks at the bottom and is descending vertically.
"came back."
Zhang Jianfeng was instantly excited when he finally saw Luna No. 1. He had already recognized it, no doubt about it.
This is the first time that humans have brought the lunar rocks and lunar soil on the back of the moon back to Earth.
Due to the special nature of the back of the moon, the research value of these lunar regolith and lunar rocks is slightly higher than that of the lunar rocks brought back by the United States.
Luna 1 hovered two meters from the airport, with its landing gear extended and its ion engines turned off.
Chi! !
Luna 1, which is firmly on the ground, marks the official return of the lunar rock and lunar soil on the back of the moon to the earth.
The next moment, the intelligent machines and staff on the ground quickly surrounded Luna 1, put Luna 1 back on the transport vehicle, and went back to the research institute of the space center.
"Let's go and have a look."
Chen Mo took the lead and walked into the research institute.
Through the glass window, you can see the inside of the laboratory. The robot has taken out the sealed jars that collected lunar soil and lunar rocks, and is undergoing disinfection and cleaning.
Ordinary personnel can't get close for the time being, because they have just returned from the moon, and they are not sure if there are mutated bacteria in space.
Ten minutes later, after thorough cleaning, the sealed jar was sent to a sterile and dust-free laboratory.
"I can finally see the moon rock."
Zhang Jianfeng was extremely excited, wearing protective clothing, and after disinfection, he couldn't wait to enter the laboratory. What is stored in the vacuum glass jar is the moon rock and lunar soil that their team dreamed of, or the back of the moon.
In the past, only the United States had the ability to obtain moon rocks in the world. Now, to add one more, it is a private company of their Huaxia.
Although it is not their team, it is also something to be happy about, which proves that Huaxia's current technology is powerful.
"Academician Chen, what is your next space exploration plan? Can you tell me?" Zhang Jianfeng asked.
"The Flying Ant Space Center is now being expanded, and a space station will be built next. Provide a location for our company's space tourism program and my research program."
Chen Mo said without hesitation.
"The next big plan is to find a suitable location on the moon and establish a lunar base. At the same time, I will build a larger space plane to prepare for future lunar travel and mining of lunar resources. However, in Before that, I need to find a way to use lunar rock as a building material."
Chen Mo pointed to the moon rock in the vacuum tank.
If you want to build a base on the moon, you must find a way to use the lunar soil of the moon as a building material for 3D printing. If you simply transport materials from the earth, the superpowers cannot stand this consumption.
He has the technical support of the Science and Technology Library, and it is not technically difficult to use lunar soil as a 3D printing material.
hiss! !
Zhang Jianfeng was frightened by Chen Mo's courage.
This kind of big plan, even if it is a big country, is still a concept at this stage, and Chen Mo is only a private company, so he dares to have the courage to claim to build a moon base.
If there is a problem, even a large company like the Army Ant Group can be dragged down.
But thinking of the helium-3 contained on the moon, as well as other rare minerals, and its significance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Chen Mo's scientific and technological strength.
If Chen Mo really succeeds in building a lunar base and developing resources on the moon, his personal wealth will reach a terrifying level.
"During this period, I will continue to put more exploration robots into the moon to find a suitable place to build a base. I can help with what instruments your team needs to put in."
"Our lunar exploration engineering team is also preparing to launch the Chang'e lander soon. This mission is also to obtain samples of lunar rocks and lunar soil. You may need some technical consultants at that time." Zhang Jianfeng said.
Chen Mo's success in obtaining samples of Moon Rock did not mean that they were also successful.
This is the original plan of the lunar exploration engineering team. It will not be abandoned because Chen Mo successfully retrieves the sample.
"No problem." Chen Mo said.
After handing over the 10 kilograms of moon rock and moon soil to Zhang Jianfeng, Chen Mo sent him away from the Flying Ant Space Center, and Chen Mo and Xiao Yu also followed.
"Where to go on vacation? You decide or I decide?" Chen Mo asked.
Now that he just came back from space, the doctor told him to recuperate and eliminate the physical fatigue of spaceflight. Although he is the master of major matters, Xiao Yu will never compromise on such small matters concerning his body and life, and Chen Mo can only rely on her.
"You decide, you can go anywhere, you can rest well." Xiao Yu said.
"Take you and Wushuang home for a few days, and then go out to play."
...
"Did Yueyan send it over?"
"Just delivered." Li Ruoxi nodded: "Boss, doesn't he come to announce it in person?"
"He just came back from space. The doctor said that he needs to rest. Xiaoyu was watching too closely. You should know about Xiaoyu. At this time, I wouldn't dare to rob her, otherwise I would be finished." Zhao Min smiled.
Chen Mo's body had several accidents, which scared them all at the time. Now, every time it is related to Chen Mo's body, Xiaoyu will never compromise.
Li Ruoxi smiled and immediately understood.
She and Xiaoyu are best friends who talk about everything. Xiaoyu has a gentle and undisputed personality. He is usually very gentle, but what he really believes is very stubborn, and it is also about Chen Mo.
"let's start."
Zhao Min looked at the time and stepped out of the backstage, followed by Li Ruoxi, Lan Xi and others.
The press conference of the Army Ant Group was crowded with people.
Every reporter has expectations on their faces. The Marching Ant Group announced yesterday that a press conference will be held today.
Even on the day that Chen Mo returned safely from space, the Army Ant Group did not have such a grand press conference, nor even invited reporters to the scene. Today, the sudden press conference is definitely more important than Chen Mo's return from the sky.
They have known the style of the Army Ant Group from previous press conferences, and major news will not be announced until the last minute, so they do not know what the important news will be announced by the Army Ant Group this time.
The next moment, when Zhao Min took the lead and came out of the backstage, the reporters on the field were instantly excited.
Zhao Min was present in person.
Judging from previous press conferences, Zhao Min appeared on the scene in person, and there was no ordinary news.
"I invite everyone to come here today because there is an important announcement."
Zhao Min boarded the podium of the press conference and went straight to the theme.
She looked at the opening, and the staff carefully carried a box into the middle of the press conference stage.
When the red cloth was uncovered, it was a stone covered by a glass ball, the size of a fist, which looked like a decayed fossil, and there was nothing special about it.
"what is this?"
"A rapidly weathering stone?"
"Nothing special, right? Is it some special material?"
The eyes on the field were instantly attracted to this stone, but there was nothing special about it.
When everyone was full of doubts, Zhao Min spoke again.
"Just an hour ago, the Luna 1 lander that our group put on the back of the moon successfully returned to the Flying Ant Space Center after obtaining samples of lunar rocks on the back of the moon. The rock in front of you is from the moon. The lunar rock samples obtained from the far side. This is the first time that humans have obtained rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon.”
Wow! ! !
The originally doubtful scene was instantly fried.
