Vol 2 Chapter 1692: Happy troubles

Let me talk about glass first. This is the main building material for the future lunar scientific research station and the future lunar city. Whether it is the glass doors and windows of the lunar scientific research station, buildings, plant factories, or the huge glass dome of the future lunar city, these will all be used grass.

　　The glass used in these buildings must not be transported from the earth. It is so expensive and uneconomical. The lunar soil has abundant quartz reserves, which can be mined on-site and made into glass.

　　 It is even possible to develop and manufacture a machine that can 3D print glass on the moon using quartz ore, and then use it to print and manufacture glass, or directly print related glass buildings.

　　The glass has poor airtightness and heat insulation, and the strengthened glass is strong enough, which is very suitable for the construction of various buildings, and it can be said to be a very good building material.

　　 Therefore, in Wu Hao's plan, whether it is a lunar scientific research station or a future lunar city, this kind of cheap and easy-to-obtain high-quality building materials will inevitably be used in the future.

　　 As for the second use, this one is better to say. Because whether it is the future lunar scientific research station or the lunar city, it will definitely require a lot of energy, especially power resources. In the first and mid-term, solar power generation is definitely the best choice if you want to obtain sufficient power resources.

　　If you want to realize solar power generation, you must have solar panels. If you want to support the scientific research station and the larger lunar city for electricity, you must build a huge solar power plant.

　　To build such a huge solar power plant, it will inevitably require a large number of solar panels. Naturally, these solar panels cannot be transported from the earth. The old problem is that the cost is too high and not cost-effective, so the best choice is to use local materials to manufacture solar panels.

　　 At present, the technology of using quartz silica to make solar panels on the earth is very mature, and what Wu Hao and others have to do is how to simplify and integrate this whole process, and it can be used in the lunar environment.

Zhang Qutong went on to introduce: "In addition to basalt particles and quartz particles, there are about 7% of the remaining materials. These materials are very rich. The most abundant is ilmenite, which accounts for 100% of the entire lunar soil sample. About four-quarters, it can be said to be very rich. In addition to ilmenite, we also found copper, nickel, manganese, silver, gold, etc. in the remaining 3% of the material."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qutong paused, and then smiled at everyone: "As for the three elements of helium that everyone is most concerned about, we have also tested it from these two lunar soil samples. In the surface lunar soil samples The content of helium-3 is more than ten times higher than that in a 50 cm lunar soil sample.

　　 And through our exploration, the Helium III content in the entire landing site or the entire gas sea area should be said to far exceed the previously estimated average lunar soil content.

　　 Of course, this also proves from another angle the reason why the crater of Qihai was formed earlier. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Qu Tongsheng was afraid that everyone would not understand it. Based on professional habits, he explained in detail: "The moon itself does not contain helium, whether it is the poor little helium on the earth or the reserves on the moon. The rich three elements of helium actually come from the sun.

　　 We know that the sun is undergoing a very long distance fusion reaction, which produces a large amount of helium trie. These helium triads will be scattered to various stars with the solar wind, and then adhere to the soil or cover up.

　　 The earth is protected by a magnetic field and a thick atmosphere, so helium III falling on the ground is very scarce. The moon does not have an atmosphere, so for a long time under the solar wind, countless helium-3 will gradually be contaminated and attached to the lunar soil, and it will accumulate more and more.

　　 This has also been confirmed by our exploration. The helium-3 on the surface of the lunar soil is indeed much richer than that in the lunar soil. "

Hearing Zhang Qutong’s introduction, Zhang Jun’s face showed a smile. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It seems that the Lu Qihai we have chosen is not wrong. Qihai has very rich reserves of helium and other mineral elements. It’s a good start for us."

　　 A good start!

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Zhang Qutong shook his head conservatively: "It's too early to say this. We need to conduct multi-range exploration and analysis of the entire gas sea area. Only in this way can we figure it out. Mineral reserves in the gas sea area."

　　 Hearing what Zhang Qutong said, Wu Hao smiled and waved his hand: "This is not in a hurry, let's take your time."

　　 Speaking of this, Wu Hao looked at Zhang Qu and the others and said: "With the launch of our detection mission, more detection data will be gathered here in the future, so the burden on you is not light.

　　 Of course, we will continue to strengthen the manpower and resources on your side, but the work must keep up with the progress and cannot be pulled down. This is related to the follow-up progress of our entire mission and even the development and preparation of future related missions, which must be completed on time and in quantity. "

　　 Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Zhang Qu and their faces showed a heavy look on their faces~www.readwn.com~ This task is indeed not easy, one or two samples of Lunar Soil are nothing, and they can be completed very quickly. However, as the detection continues, more and more sample information will be gathered, which also means that their work will be busy, and the burden on their shoulders will become heavier and heavier.

　　 Despite this, Zhang Qutong nodded on behalf of everyone. For them, such research projects are too rare. To know other experts, other researchers can study most of their lives for a sample. As for them, they are able to harvest a lot of samples, and they are also worried about too many samples. They have never had this kind of trouble of happiness.

　　 So no matter how hard and tired, Zhang Qu and the others will grit their teeth and respond. Apart from other things, the scientific research results formed by these research institutes alone can be worth their madness.

　　 No, not just them, it should be said that everyone is crazy.

So after hearing Zhang Qu’s guarantee with them, Wu Hao smiled and nodded, and then said: “Scientific research is important, but don’t relax on the paper. Relying on the favorable conditions we have created, we will post a few quality articles. Good papers come out.

　　 Just like these results today, you can sort them out and post them on our official website. You know, people around the world and scientists are all eagerly looking forward to it. "

　　 Everyone laughed openly when they heard Wu Hao's words.

　　 Indeed, everyone is waiting for their results. Some scientific research institutions have also sent cooperation intentions. Obviously, they are interested in the sufficient resources that Wu Hao said they have.
