Chapter 610: Moon Soil Bricks
On July 30, after 98 hours of flight, the 'Explorer Lunar Module' carried by Hercules 2 successfully landed in the rainbow bay area on the front of the moon. The first astronaut to set foot on the moon.
On the 4th day after the launch of Hercules 2, NASA announced a news that shocked the world.
After nearly 60 years, the return to the moon was successful.
The impact of the news is no less than the shock brought by the news that the Army Ant Group had retrieved the lunar soil from the back of the moon. The United States once again proved to the world that they have strength.
The message is not cool.
On August 3, SpaceX also successfully launched Israel's 'Genesis 2' lunar probe at the Kennedy Space Center.
With the strength of a small country, Israel has demonstrated their ambition to become the fourth country to successfully explore the moon after China, the United States, and Russia.
This news, compared with the news of the successful manned moon landing in the United States, is not conspicuous.
But in this space exploration boom, Israel's move has also attracted a lot of attention.
On August 6, before the probe launched by Israel had reached the moon, NASA announced another news.
The three astronauts who stayed on the lunar surface for a week completed the task of dropping a research module and a small ecological module and obtaining 50 kilograms of rocks. The lunar module was successfully ignited, left the lunar surface, and was on its way back to Earth.
As soon as this news comes out, it will be overshadowed by the news that the national lunar probe is preparing to land on the moon.
The news didn't stop there.
On August 7, Israel announced that the Genesis 2 had successfully landed on the Ocean of Storms.
In the early morning of August 11, NASA once again announced that after 109 hours of flight, the lunar module successfully returned and fell into a wheat field in the central United States.
The success of the US landing on the moon has shattered the outside world's doubts about the authenticity of their previous moon landings, and has also shown their strength to the world.
August of this year has become a special time.
The heat of space exploration continues.
August 13,
The European Space Agency announced that it successfully launched a rocket to send the Wisdom 2 lunar probe into space. The probe is on its way to the moon, and Europe has officially started the second phase of the "Dawn Project".
On August 18, when the European Space Agency just announced that the lunar lander successfully landed on the Copernicus crater on the lunar surface, the island nation's space research agency also announced that the launch vehicle successfully launched the moon reading 1 at the Kagoshima Launch Center. The moon landing probe, the island country officially launched the 'moon reading plan'.
Good shows continue to appear, and August has become the most frequent time for moon landings.
All kinds of news from all parties are dizzying to the outside world.
On August 28, the Russian Space Agency, which has been quiet for a long time, finally spoke up and will launch a manned lunar landing spacecraft in late September to start the lunar exploration program.
When everyone thought the boom was over, on August 30, the Huaxia Lunar Exploration Engineering Team also reported that it would launch the Chang'e unmanned probe in September according to the original plan. The Chang'e probe will land on the far side of the moon, obtain lunar rock samples, and return to Earth.
On the last day of August, the Army Ant Group also came out to make a statement, using the Goddess to lift off, and once again launched two reconnaissance satellites and two landers to the moon to be responsible for the detection of the moon.
The news also caused quite a stir.
Throughout August, the world was swept by news of various moon landings.
The competition for lunar exploration has reached an unprecedented peak.
According to later records, August of this year is the month when human beings fully start the journey of the stars and the sea.
...
It was night, in Chen Mo's study.
When the outside world was struggling for moon landing technology, Chen Mo had already started planning for a lunar base.
On the holographic platform in front of him, suspended a gray brick the size of a mobile phone, with a smooth surface that looked like ceramic.
"It has a density of 2.9 grams per cubic centimeter, a compressive strength of 1700-3500 kilograms per square centimeter, and a water absorption rate of 0.11%
Shore hardness: >HS 75. In the test just now, it showed strong toughness and strength in the extreme hot and cold alternating environment between minus 190 degrees Celsius and 400 degrees Celsius, meeting the needs of the lunar building environment. "
Ink girl introduced.
This is a freshly baked brick.
Just finished testing.
The building materials for the construction base are the first problems he has to solve.
This is the building material for the future lunar base.
This inconspicuous brick is made of lunar soil, adding metal elements such as iron and titanium, and mixing them according to a specific ratio. The mixed materials are melted by laser, and then the lunar soil brick is made by 3D printing technology.
The materials needed for lunar soil bricks are all material elements on the moon, so that they can get materials on the moon without having to rely on the earth to transport materials there.
After returning from vacation, Xiaoyu was not very relieved, so he let Chen Moduo rest for a few days.
It was rare for Xiaoyu to ask him a request, and Chen Mo agreed.
In fact, Chen Mo has already started half-rest and half-work. With the help of Mo, even if he doesn't go to the company's laboratory, he can conduct experiments and get all the experimental data he wants.
His next goal is to build a lunar base. If you want to build a base on it, you must use the moon's lunar rock and lunar soil as materials.
So Chen Mo let the robot do experiments in the laboratory according to his ideas.
Xiaoyu entered the study and saw the projection of Chen Mo sitting in front of the holographic platform, a little helpless.
Chen Mo has never been restless, and when she is on vacation, she organizes data for Mo Nv to study every day, but when she makes sure that Chen Mo has enough rest, she can only turn a blind eye.
"What is this? It looks like a brick." Xiao Yu walked over curiously.
She would occasionally come to the study to watch Chen Mo's research. Chen Mo, who was focusing on research, was very attractive and could get close to his work.
"It's just bricks, lunar soil bricks printed by 3D printing technology. I'm looking for materials to build a lunar base." Chen Mo said.
"Did you make it?"
"Just tested, it's better than granite, it's a success." Chen Mo took Xiaoyu into his arms: "Tell me something."
Without waiting for Chen Mo to say, Xiaoyu first understood what he meant: "Tomorrow you can go to the company, and then let you stay at home. I guess you want to rectify the Fa on the spot."
"As expected of my wife."
Chen Mo clicked a few times on the platform and retrieved some information.
"In the past few days, I have sorted out some educational materials about Wushuang, which are enough for Wushuang to use from elementary school to middle school. I will make some supplements and adjustments according to the actual situation in the future."
Xiaoyu is planning to set up a primary school for Wushuang, and later a middle school and a university.
Chen Mo also wants to focus on Wushuang's education.
Xiao Wushuang's education is destined to be different from ordinary elite education. In addition to the current school knowledge, much of the knowledge she needs to learn is scientific knowledge sorted out by Chen Mo from the science and technology library, and cannot be taught in ordinary educational methods.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yu said with some distress.
Chen Mo has too much burden on her body. She is both a company and a family. She can't help Chen Mo too much. She can only make herself as sensible as possible and not add trouble to Chen Mo.
"You should feel sorry for Wushuang. When you grow up, don't tell her that what she learned was made by me, or I'm afraid that she will cut off the relationship between father and daughter with me." Chen Mo muttered.
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Yu was immediately amused.
"But you feel that I have worked hard, have you rewarded me?" Chen Mo laughed wickedly.
"I'm here today, and I'm inconvenient." Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped Chen Mo's chaotic hands, his face suddenly flushed, and he hesitated to say, "If you want, go to Mo's room tonight?"
Chen Mo: "..."
Ink Girl: "..."
Seeing Chen Mo's resentful and somewhat embarrassed look, Xiao Yu smiled brightly, and it was rare to see Chen Mo's demeanor.
