Vol 5 Chapter 2683: Ultra-large 3D lunar soil printer
Chapter 2682 Super-large 3D lunar soil printer
As for the helium three gas, how much was collected. Compared with water, Zhang Jun is obviously more concerned about the helium-3 resource. You know, they have drawn so much on the lunar exploration project and the lunar scientific research station project, just to be able to get these helium-3 resources, which is related to the success or failure of this project and whether they can make money in recovering the cost.
Hearing Zhang Jun's words, other people present also looked at Zhou Xiangming, even Wu Hao couldn't help looking at him, he was also very concerned about this result.
Seeing many people asking, Zhou Xiangming smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Not so fast, we need to analyze the collected gases produced by the heating of these lunar soils now, and then we can get the relevant gas composition report.
Judging from our previous analysis, these gases contain helium three, but the content has not been determined yet, and we need to wait for further analysis reports.
In addition to helium three gases, we also analyzed and detected elements such as oxygen, hydrogen, and argon. "
Roughly how long will it take? Zhang Jun asked immediately.
Zhou Xiangming asked the staff around him and then pointed out three fingers to Wu Hao and Zhang Jun: "It will take about three hours, and we still need to send the gas to our laboratory on the moon for testing and analysis. , to know the exact result.”
Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao, Zhang Jun and others nodded. There is no rush for this matter. Now they have confirmed the existence of helium-3 in these gases, but only confirmed the specific reserves. This result is actually not that urgent.
What's next? Wu Hao looked at the lunar scientific research station that had already been issued on the big screen, and then asked Zhou Xiangming.
Hearing Wu Hao's question, Zhou Xiangming immediately looked at the big screen and introduced Wu Hao and Zhang Jun.
"At present, we have completed the erection of large-capacity long-distance communication antennas and solar power stations, and now we can directly communicate with the moon without going through relay satellites.
The complete erection of solar panels can provide more abundant power for our related equipment and subsequent related work.
We are currently building an energy storage power station to be able to store the continuous electricity generated by these solar panels.
The next work is mainly two. On the one hand, it is to increase the detection of nearby areas, especially this kind of trial mining, so as to find out the nearby resource reserves, which is very important for us to exploit resources in these areas in the future.
The other is to continue to use lunar soil 3D printers to print lunar soil bricks, and then use these square bricks to lay the lunar surface.
Now our multi-purpose engineering robot has begun to level the foundation area, remove some scattered rocks on the moon in this area, and fill those small craters.
In addition to this area, we will also level the entire area where the research station is located, including the entire landing area, etc. This work will take half a year or even longer, because this area is too big . "
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiangming smiled wryly: "Actually, our leveling behavior has already received criticism from many so-called experts and aerospace agencies abroad, saying that we are deliberately destroying the lunar landscape, which is a crime and unforgivable."
Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao chuckled, then waved his hands and said, "Don't talk to them, they're just farting, it doesn't make any sense."
"I think it's just jealousy. They are jealous of our achievements on the moon, so they broke the dirty water for us. In terms of destroying the lunar landscape, they were much earlier than us, and they don't know who drove the car on the moon first. Those ruts are still there, who dug the hole on the moon." Zhang Jun said angrily.
Wu Hao smiled when he saw this: "People can't eat grapes, don't you allow them to be sour? The mouth grows on their face, let them talk. The hand grows on ourselves, what do we want to do? Do you have them?"
"That's right." Zhang Jun clapped his hands and said, "What do you care about so much? Don't worry about it and do it boldly. Don't have any psychological burden. They have nothing to do with us."
OK Hearing Zhang Jun and Wu Hao's words, Zhou Xiangming and the technicians behind all nodded and smiled.
"After the foundation area of the research station is leveled, we will officially start laying bricks. We have already printed more than 100 pieces of lunar soil bricks. The total area is about 800 square meters, which means that we probably More than 30,000 bricks are needed for this.
According to the current printing speed, we need to print for at least a year.
Of course, we will continue to simplify the process and increase the speed in the future, and we will also send another lunar soil 3D printer to the moon, so that we can complete 800 square meters of square bricks within the specified time limit layout.
After all the bricks are laid, we will lay a second layer of bricks in the building area, and a third layer of bricks. And it will also start to print the outlines of some buildings using the large printers newly sent to the moon.
And our newly designed large-scale 3D lunar soil printer is very large, and the entire footprint has reached a huge volume of 20 meters by 10 meters. Its total weight can reach nearly ten tons. "
"So heavy!"
Hearing Zhou Xiangming's introduction, both Wu Hao and Zhang Jun were taken aback. Although Wu Hao knew that the printer was huge, he still didn't expect it to be so big and heavy.
Seeing everyone's surprise, UU reading www. uukanshu. com Zhou Xiangming said with a smile: "Actually, this is not its largest form. If necessary, we can further expand its volume by increasing the track, so that buildings with larger sizes can be printed.
This is mainly because of the harsh environment of the moon, so the buildings we print must be integrally formed, so as to ensure the airtightness and pressure resistance of the entire building space.
Only in this way can we guarantee the personal safety of astronauts and scientific researchers living in these buildings. There is no room for shabby projects on this moon, and even a small mistake may have serious consequences. "
Seeing everyone nodding, Zhou Xiangming continued: "The parts of this large-scale 3D lunar soil printer alone are more than 100,000. This large-scale 3D lunar soil printer will be tested on the earth. It will be disassembled into large and small parts, and then put on our lunar cargo transportation system, and then transported up by it.
Then use our engineering robots and intelligent control robots to assemble on the moon. The assembly time alone will take about half a month. "
