Vol 2 Chapter 1691: Star Lab
As the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover launches after landing and completes its self-inspection, various scientific research and exploration tasks will begin immediately.
First, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar lunar patrol rover will drill the deep robotic arm on the ground, and then pull out a lunar lunar and geological probe from the vehicle's load frame, and then plant it into the drilled In the hole.
The lunar lunar and geological probes were activated immediately, and the top of it leaking out of the ground showed that a small solar panel was opened. This solar panel can provide sufficient working power for the probe. Keep him running for a long time.
In addition, it also extended a tasted antenna. In addition to being able to interconnect and network with other lunar and geological probes, this antenna can also feed back and transmit various data it detects to the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover.
Even, it can also send relevant signals to the orbiter in the sky. If on the earth this is definitely not possible, because the power is too low, the ionosphere in the atmosphere will reflect a part of the signal, and it is easily affected by the weather. But on the moon, there is no atmosphere, let alone the refraction and absorption of dust in the air, so the transmission of electromagnetic signals is extremely smooth.
As for the deep lunar soil drilled by the robotic arm probe, samples were also collected by the robotic arm in batches. Some of these samples will be directly sent to the experimental cabin on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover for analysis and research, and the other part will be sealed in a special sealed bag, coded, and then Turn into the space vacated by the lunar soil and geological probes.
The probe will collect and archive lunar soil samples from various locations on the moon, and then wait until the appropriate time in the future, and then be brought back by subsequent lunar landing probes.
As for the experimental cabin on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover, it is actually a small laboratory. It is a sealed space with a test bench for placing samples in the middle. Surrounding the test bench are various Scientific research equipment, including multi-spectral electron microscope, element analyzer, and a series of other equipment.
The main purpose of this laboratory or experimental cabin is to analyze the lunar samples collected, so as to detect and analyze the composition of the soil on the surface of the moon, especially the mineral elements in the soil, water and so on.
In the small conference room, Wu Hao and the others were staring at the microphotographs sent from the laboratory on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover on the big screen, and then listened to the excited introductions of the experts. .
This is a high-magnification photomicrograph. In the photo, some soil particles are very finely divided. They contain various substances and have a variety of rich colors. Instead of what we see in the photo, the surface of the moon is gray. .
What they are introducing is an old man in his sixties with gray hair but very energetic. The old man is called Zhang Qutong, a professor in the field of geochemistry at Jiaotong University, and a special expert invited by Wu Hao. , Is responsible for the project of lunar exploration.
For such a research project, Zhang Qutong readily responded, not only did not mention other conditions, but also enthusiastically took his doctoral students to actively participate in the whole project. In addition to Zhang Qutong and several of his doctoral students, there are also some other related experts and professors, as well as some young researchers specially recruited by Wu Hao and others.
These people together formed a laboratory under Haoyu Aerospace that specializes in the exploration of cosmic matter and extraterrestrial planets, and Wu Hao and the others gave this laboratory a very romantic name, called the Star Laboratory.
The "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover conducted the first exploration and the lunar soil collection experiment analysis data was transmitted back, and immediately was forced to wait for Zhang Qu to take it with them for research and analysis.
Although the research is still going on, there are already some results, and Wu Hao and the others came here to listen to their related work reports.
"Look here, everyone. This is a microphotograph of the lunar soil sample of zero and one collected by our "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover at the landing site. These are the lunar soil components on the surface. ."
Under the operation of a doctoral student of Zhang Qutong, the breakthrough conversion on the large screen was replaced by a micro-enlarged photo of a darker lunar soil sample.
"This is a magnified photo of the lunar soil sample collected by our "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover at a position of 50 cm after the pit hole was drilled."
said, two microscopic photos of lunar soil samples were displayed side by side on the big screen.
Zhang Qutong just walked to the big screen and introduced to everyone: "The substances in the soil samples of these two months are basically the same. We have detected very abundant substances from the two samples of lunar soil, the most of which is the moon. Rock composition, these lunar rocks are a bit like weathered basalt, with coarser grains, which seem to be formed after high temperature and high pressure.
And this can prove that ~www.readwn.com~ This is the sea of gas is an ancient crater. The high pressure and high temperature formed by the impact of the meteorite made these moon rocks fragmented and changed their characteristics.
Of course, we do not rule out that these are the components formed by the fragmentation of the volcanic material inside the moon brought out by the volcanic eruption caused by the meteorite impact. "
Zhang Qutong is really engaged in scientific research, and his words are not leaking, making it difficult for people to find out what's wrong.
As for Zhang Qutong, when everyone nodded, he was also excited and continued to introduce: "Except for the coarser basalt particles, the most of these lunar soil samples are quartz particles. The white transparent ones in the photo are quartz. , Which accounts for about 40% of the entire soil sample."
The lunar soil is rich in a large amount of quartz. This is not surprising to everyone, because this has been confirmed in previous lunar explorations of various countries. Quartz is not a precious mineral. It is everywhere on the earth. To put it bluntly, it is sand.
But this kind of sand is the raw material for many materials and even many products on the earth, such as the glass used in our households, and the polycrystalline silicon and monocrystalline silicon ingots made by smelting quartz. These silicon ingots are one of the important raw materials for manufacturing solar panels and chips.
Manufacturing chips on the moon is definitely unrealistic, and Wu Hao has never thought about it that way. He is concerned about the first two uses, namely the use of quartz to make glass, and the use of quartz to make solar panels.
Both of these will play a very important role in the future construction of lunar scientific research stations and even lunar cities, and it can be said that it is related to the success or failure of future exploration missions.
