Chapter 638: The Launch of the Moon Landing Plan

The equipment was ready, and under the arrangement of Mo Nv, they began to enter the hangar in an orderly manner. Parts, except those that are difficult to transport, are produced at the base.

The largest of these is the aircraft shell, which is mainly made with 3D printing technology, which saves material and allows the fuselage to be one piece.

As soon as the equipment in Hangar No. 2 started to be installed, good news came from Building No. 1 of the headquarters.

The equipment needed to land on the moon has been prepared.

In front of Chen Mo is the equipment needed to land on the moon.

Including lunar soil 3d printer, lunar excavator, lunar tunnel shield robot, handling robot, construction robot, intelligent transportation robot, ground drilling robot, geological exploration robot, data acquisition robot, lunar seismometer, lighting robot and small helium-3 extraction robot.

The moon soil 3D printer is manufactured by 3D printing technology. The function is to use the moon soil to print the moon bricks required for the base construction. It is only the size of two refrigerators. The machine is a bit special. It is made of heat-resistant and cold-resistant materials. meters of moon bricks, and then a construction robot builds the base.

The structure of the lunar shield robot is different from that of the earth's tunnel shield machine. It has two drill bits, one is round and the other is pointed. The diameter is only 1.5 meters. It is mainly used to expand the tunnel. The legs of the machine are stretched out and can be 3.5 meters high. The drill can also move freely, which is enough to expand the tunnel.

The small helium-3 extraction robot is the first machine to extract helium-3. Now more controlled nuclear fusion power plants are under construction. The output of deuterium-tritium fuel is limited, and it is expensive. If you want to do it for a long time, helium-3 is the best alternative fuel.

These machines have one thing in common, that is, they are resistant to heat and cold.

The device has been tested and works well in environments between minus 180 degrees Celsius and 400 degrees Celsius.

The purpose of Chen Mo's construction of the lunar base is to use the resources on the moon and to accumulate experience for space exploration. If this step is successful, he will be ready to explore other planets in the solar system.

All the robots add up to a large number, and the space of the Goddess is limited, so Chen Mo plans to send the Goddess and the Tianyi to transport equipment together and land on the moon.

"Mother Mo, contact Academician Zhang Jianfeng." Chen Mo said.

Now to prepare for the moon landing, the lunar exploration engineering team needs him to help carry an ecological experimental module and two astronauts to the moon.

"Academician Chen,

Stay safe. "Zhang Jianfeng appeared in the video with a little anticipation in his expression.

"Academician Zhang, I'm going to land on the moon, I will inform you to prepare."

"Okay, is the time set?" Zhang Jianfeng smiled.

Finally the day has come.

He contacted Chen Mo some time ago, and Chen Mo told him that after returning from space tourism, he would prepare to land on the moon. He also heard that Chen Mo has been recuperating for a month after returning from space tourism, and now he is finally going to the moon.

"It's confirmed, ten days later, is it enough for you to prepare?"

"Enough is enough." Zhang Jianfeng nodded hurriedly.

Five days later, a transport plane landed at the Flying Ant Space Center, led by Zhang Jianfeng, and a dozen team members got off the plane.

On the transport plane, the small ecological experimental cabin and astronaut equipment that need to land on the moon are also unloaded and transported into the research institute of the space center under the command of the staff.

Seeing the appearance of the Flying Ant Space Center again, Zhang Jianfeng felt a little emotional.

In less than half a year, the base has expanded by 30,000 mu. Now the scale of the Flying Ant Space Center is comparable to that of the national space center, and the technology it has is more advanced than them.

It is unprecedented for a private company to reach this point.

"Academician Chen."

Zhang Jianfeng took the lead, greeted Chen Mo, and began to introduce the team members around him.

"These two are Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang, the astronauts who landed on the moon this time."

"Hello."

Chen Mo greeted the two of them.

The stature of the two of them is not tall. The visual estimate is about 168-170. This is selected according to the astronaut standard, and the stature cannot be too tall. However, the two of them looked very energetic, smiling, and when they shook hands with Chen Mo and saluted, they behaved very neatly.

This is one of the best astronauts in a hundred. If they want to get this opportunity, only they know how much hardship they have suffered.

In addition to Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang, there is also a research team of detectives.

During the lunar exploration, they will be here at the Flying Ant Space Center to maintain the connection between the ground and the moon, pay attention to the health of the astronauts on the moon, and respond at any time.

"Academician Chen, where are you planning to land this time?" Zhang Jianfeng asked on the way back to the space center.

"Back of the moon, 139.62 degrees east longitude, 24.37 degrees south latitude."

Chen Mo used the holographic projection platform to call up the terrain where the tunnel was located.

"Our robot found a lava tunnel of an ancient lunar volcano here. The location is good and there is enough space, so I am going to build the first lunar base here."

With that said, Chen Mo called out the map of the lava tunnel. The underground tunnel extending in all directions, the topography of the location, the environmental data, and the temperature difference all appeared in front of the lunar exploration team.

"Have you finished exploring so soon?"

The members of the lunar exploration team looked at the long tunnel in disbelief.

Chen Mo's speed was terrifyingly fast.

They all know that the lunar underground tunnel is one of the ideal locations for the construction of a lunar base. They are also looking for detection, but they did not expect Chen Mo to be so fast.

"I was lucky enough to come across one. I launched more than 20 robots back and forth, including data collection robots and exploration robots. This is the data sent back by the robots. This launch mission is to transport robots to the past and carry out preliminary transformation of the tunnel. Preparing for the construction of a lunar base."

Chen Mo called out all the robots that were going to land on the moon.

Seeing the tools and design of the robot, the researchers on the field can roughly guess the role of the robot, and they also lament the power of the robot technology of the Army Ant Group.

"What is this?" Zhang Jianfeng pointed at the helium-3 extraction machine and asked curiously.

"Helium-3 extraction machine for extracting helium-3 from lunar soil."

hiss! !

Only the researchers on the field knew Chen Mo's plans and ambitions.

So soon to develop helium-3 resources on the moon.

Now two controlled nuclear fusion power plants have been put into operation, and more controlled nuclear fusion power plants are under construction. The fuel is a lot of money. If helium-3 can be developed, the marching ant group will control the controlled nuclear fusion. The core technology and materials are infinite wealth.

However, they also knew that Chen Mo invested hundreds of billions in the moon landing plan, and he definitely needed to make money, not just as a scientific exploration.

"It's just the beginning. I'm building a larger spaceship, and in the future, I will develop lunar travel, and even land on Mars to build a base." Chen Mo said.

The lunar exploration engineering team was excited by Chen Mo's words.

They don't doubt Chen Mo's words, even if Chen Mo's current strength already has the ability to explore Mars. Chen Mo knows that exploring Mars now, the benefits are not large and the investment is huge. He is not doing business at a loss, and it has not yet reached that stage.

"If there is no problem, we can now announce our manned moon landing plan to the outside world."

"no problem."

Zhang Jianfeng agreed immediately.

The next morning, the Flying Ant Space Center held a press conference.

Li Ruoxi, general manager of the Flying Ant Space Center, and Zhang Jianfeng from the lunar exploration engineering team attended the meeting and announced the plan to jointly land on the far side of the moon. Li Ruoxi also announced at the press conference that Flying Ant Space plans to build a lunar base, develop lunar travel and lunar resources s plan.
