Vol 2 Chapter 1715: Heavy news release
At this time, Shi Zhaoping's voice continued.
"We found these crystal clear materials in the crevices of the valley floor folds and on the rock walls on both sides. Under the illumination of the searchlight, it appeared very transparent.
Its shape, including some features, is very consistent with the shape of ice on our planet. Soon we began to sample these substances and put them in transparent sample storage tubes. After sampling the relevant terrain and materials in the Moon Creek Valley, our small detection robot began to return to the lunar surface.
After more than half an hour, this small detection robot finally returned to the ground with a sample. Although we have great certainty that the crystal clear materials we sampled are solid water ice on the moon, we are still not sure before testing.
So everyone is very anxious to put these sampled materials into the on-board laboratory on our "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover.
However, an accident occurred while sampling a sample from a small detection robot. "
There was an accident.
This made the reporters present, including many experts stunned, what was the accident?
Shi Zhaoping sold a pass, then smiled and said, "Everyone, please look at the big screen!"
This is the picture taken by the high-definition surveillance camera on our "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover. Shi Zhaoping introduced to everyone.
" Everyone, please see. In the video, the small robotic arm of our "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover prepares to take samples from the small probe robot sample storage box and send them to the on-board experiment cabin.
Pay attention to everyone. When our small robotic arm took out the sample from the sample storage box and was about to send it into the on-board experiment cabin, it was discovered through the transparent storage tube that the sample inside actually melted under the sunlight. When it arrives in the vehicle-mounted test chamber, it should be liquid. "
Wow!
With an exclamation, various shutter sounds and flashing lights followed. This video is the first appearance, which really surprised the reporters in the audience.
What else can I say, this is water, stone hammer.
"The person in charge of our lunar scientific expedition and exploration project will be invited by Professor Zhang Qutong to give you a detailed introduction." At this time, Shi Zhaoping stopped explaining, but pushed Zhang Qutong out.
Zhang Qutong, who was mentioned, stood up and gestured to the reporters below the stage, then walked to the big screen on one side, and pointed a laser pointer at the reporters, including some experts. They introduced.
"The temperature of the moon is quite extreme. In shadow areas where the sun does not reach, its temperature can reach minus 180 degrees. In areas where the sun shines during the day, it can reach minus 120 degrees. high temperature.
Our samples were taken from the bottom of the Moon Creek Valley, which is more than 50 meters deep. Therefore, there is no sunshine all year round and the temperature is very low. Therefore, these substances appear to be solid.
Sorry, we can't confirm that it is water before we have been rigorously tested and analyzed.
And when the sample is taken out and irradiated by sunlight, the temperature rises instantly, and the debris in the transparent sample storage tube can quickly melt into liquid. That's why everyone saw this scene.
Although we are ninety-nine percent sure that it is water at this moment, for scientific rigor, we still have to wait for the results of detection and analysis.
This process is painful, and my colleagues and I are waiting anxiously.
In the end, the test results were as expected. The detrital liquid collected from the bottom of the Moon Creek Valley was water. It is almost indistinguishable from the water on the earth, and it is very pure, fully up to the standard for direct drinking. "
said, a microscopically enlarged photo was displayed on the big screen, which instantly caused a shutter sound and exclamation.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of warm applause. The applause lasted for a long time before it slowly fell.
As for Zhang Qutong, he went on to say: "In the past, although the detectors of various countries have found that the north and south poles of the moon and the shadows of some craters contain abundant solid water. But this is only remote sensing detection and has not been directly confirmed. , And no samples were obtained directly.
And this time, by sampling and analyzing the solid ice samples at the bottom of the Moon Creek Valley, we confirmed that there is indeed solid ice in the shadow of some Moon Creek rift valleys on the moon, and the reserves are still very considerable.
This has very important scientific research value for us to study the formation of the moon, as well as the entire lunar geological activities, and the lunar environment. In addition, it can be said that it has solved an important problem and cleared away obstacles for mankind to use the resources of the moon and settle down on the moon in the future.
Next, we will continue to work with colleagues and colleagues to continue to explore the lunar environment on the moon, and strive to obtain more valuable exploration data information. We also hope that through our efforts, we will realize the dream of mankind’s settlement on the moon. Make a good start for mankind to get out of the earth and explore the universe. "
Papa Papa...
Zhang Qutong’s words fell, and there was warm applause on the scene, which was regarded as a kind of affirmation and praise for the efforts of this scientific research expert and the team behind him~www.readwn.com~ Here is the space science exploration of the moon science research of the Academy of Sciences. The well-known expert of the institute, Academician Zou Huanyi Zou made a speech. "
Following, sitting in the middle of the stage, an old man of about seventy years old, with sparse hair but still very energetic, stood up and nodded at the crowd, then sat down again and said with a smile.
We have been very concerned about the lunar exploration trip of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover. The previous series of discoveries also made the experts of our research institute extremely excited, because these are very precious data, which are of great significance for us to study the moon, explore the moon, and for the follow-up of our manned moon landing and settlement on the moon. help.
Not to mention the discovery of water this time. This discovery can be said to have cleared a major obstacle for us to achieve human settlement on the moon. Because water is the source of life, without water, it would be difficult for humans and everything else to survive. Let alone on the desolate moon, water is even more important.
With water, we can provide drinking water for the astronauts, and we can also use the water source to cultivate soilless cultivation on the surface of the moon in real time to provide food for the astronauts.
Even, we can separate oxygen and hydrogen from water, which are both very good rocket propulsion fuels and provide fuel sources for humans to travel to and from the moon.
