Vol 2 Chapter 1916: solar wind

Light weight and high hardness, this metal has absolutely wide application prospects. Other than that, the aerospace field is absolutely scarce. And this metal content is also good, if it can be mined, it will definitely create considerable benefits. Zhang Jun heard the words and said.

Yang Fan nodded and said: "Yes, and this metal is very easy to mine, and it can even be used as an associated mineral for joint mining. In this way, we can obtain a variety of mineral resources in one mining. It can reduce costs to a minimum, and save costs. And get the maximum benefit.

And in addition to these two unknown metals, we have also detected other mineral resources in this area, such as ilmenite, gold, potassium, rare earth elements and so on.

In addition, the helium-3 resource that everyone is more concerned about is also very rich. It is foreseeable that this will definitely be a huge mining area in the future.

So if we really want to develop and operate the moon, we should be the first to develop it here. "

Wu Hao smiled and nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't answer, but asked Yang Fan, "What about the radioactive element, how's the research going?"

Still under research, is an unknown new radioactive element that is different from all known radioactive elements on Earth. The measurements we have captured are very small. According to preliminary estimates by experts, in the entire Copernicus crater and the impact radiation range, the content of this unknown new radioactive element may be around tens to 100 kilograms, or even less. .

And the branch is very wide, it is very difficult to mine. Therefore, unless this element has high economic and scientific value, it is not recommended to be mined, unless it is collected as an associated mineral.

Hearing Yang Fan's answer, Wu Hao nodded with a smile: "Let's do it step by step, don't worry about it, our primary goals are still manned spaceflight technology and the lunar scientific research station project. We have the ability to carry out other projects.

Therefore, at this stage, we must concentrate our energy and resources. As for other related research work in the early stage, we should formally establish the project and wait until the conditions are ripe. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao asked Yang Fan, "What is the location of the entire Copernicus area, and does it meet the needs of our scientific research station and lunar city site selection?"

Yang Fan smiled and nodded and replied: "This Copernicus crater is relatively young, so the materials produced by the impact are very rich and have extremely high scientific research value. The terrain around the entire crater is relatively flat. There are several places that are suitable for us to set up lunar scientific research stations and lunar cities.

It's just that the detection mission of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection rover is still going on, and maybe there are some more suitable areas in the future.

Therefore, experts suggest that these more suitable areas should be included in our alternative plan first, and after the entire detection mission is over, we will discuss and analyze according to the results of all detections, and finally select the best site selection plan. . "

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Indeed, this matter cannot be rushed. After all, this has to do with their future actions on the moon, so they must be cautious. Choose a good place to start, and when you start other projects, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile, and said to Yang Fan, "I've been busy with our New Year's Eve press conference these days and our third unmanned experimental spacecraft, so I didn't pay much attention to the lunar exploration project. .

In this regard, you still need to pay more attention. You have invested so much in the past, just look at the performance of this 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface inspection rover on the moon. "

Yang Fan smiled and replied: "Actually, the performance of our 'Wangshu' intelligent lunar surface inspection rover has been very successful. It can be said that the distance it has traveled on the moon has far exceeded that of human beings. The moon, the combined distance traveled on an extraterrestrial planet is much more.

Although we have high expectations for it, we hope that it can go as far as possible, and it is best to go around the moon. But this is all hope, and we all know how difficult it is to travel on the moon, there are too many unpredictable.

To be honest, this car has traveled for such a long time and over such a long distance, it has exceeded the design standards we initially set. Now every metre it travels is a victory for us, a new achievement. "

Of course! The crowd nodded in agreement. They all know this in their hearts, but they still hope that the intelligent lunar surface patrol rover, Wangshu, can go farther. Not to mention the rest, at least go around the South Pole.

By the way, how about our third unmanned experimental spacecraft, can it be launched as scheduled? Zhang Jun turned his head and asked Wu Hao.

Hearing this question, Wu Hao looked at everyone and shook his head with a smile: "I don't know, I still have to wait for the final notification. It was originally planned to be launched in early December, but it was affected by the strong solar wind, and the whole world was affected. All new mission spaceflight activities have been temporarily suspended.

In order to ensure the smooth and successful launch of this launch and the safety of the space station, the launch originally scheduled for early December was canceled, and it was tentatively scheduled to take place on January 13th.

However, according to the latest detection data, the solar wind activity has not stopped, so it cannot be ruled out that it may be postponed again. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone couldn't help frowning. Zhang Jun didn't quite understand: "Is the influence of the solar wind really that big?"

Hearing this, Wu Hao looked at him angrily and said: "What do you think the solar wind is, do you really think it is the wind on the earth? It is a supersonic plasma charged particle stream emitted from the upper atmosphere of the sun, and it can still maintain a constant speed per second near the earth. The speed of 350 to 450 kilometers is tens of thousands of times the wind speed of the strongest 12-level storm on the earth. This is not the most violent time, and the most violent time can reach more than 800 kilometers per second. "

Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, Zhang Jun opened his mouth, then smiled awkwardly, and then asked Wu Hao, "How long will this solar wind blow, and when will it stop."

Yang Fan smiled and shook his head: "Who knows, it could be a few days, a few months, or even a few years.

Our research on the sun is very shallow, so there is no way to predict the solar wind at all. So it's really hard to say how long it will shave and when it will end. However, generally speaking, it will not be carried out for too long. This time, it should be said that it has been recorded for a long time.

There are still more than two weeks before the launch. Maybe it will stop before the launch, and then we will be able to launch normally. If it is still affected, it can only continue to be postponed, which is also impossible. "
