Chapter 1602 Lunar Geology

In a laboratory building jointly built by the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Aerospace Department and the Titan Star Department, five transparent glass bottles were taken out of a constant-temperature and air-free box by a robotic arm.

One bottle contained a few inconspicuous black stones the size of rice grains, and the other four bottles contained a little bit of black powder.

The glass bottle is filled with inert gas such as nitrogen, and even the entire experimental operation room is filled with this special inert gas, just to protect the small black stones and powder inside the bottle from being polluted by the air.

Liu Tang, the core engineer of the lunar landing project of the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Aerospace Department, was on the operating table outside the laboratory, carefully operating the robotic arm to slowly open the glass bottle, and then took out two small black stones from inside.

After placing the small black stones for preservation, he then took out the black powder in a bottle.

At this moment, his hands were comparable to those of an elite surgeon.

Because these things are not ordinary stones and powders, they are precious "visitors from outer space".

1 lunar rock debris sample and 4 lunar soil powder samples.

“The American lunar soil samples were collected from 6 lunar landing sites, while the Qianlian samples were collected from 3 lunar landing sites.

The sampling points selected by Daxia Aerospace Group are different from them, so they have different geological backgrounds. "Li Yuan, an engineer and researcher on the side, said to the young man beside him.

Perhaps seeing a trace of doubt in the other party's eyes, Li Yuan explained thoughtfully: "Because there is no water or air on the moon, the temperature can reach more than 100 degrees Celsius during the day, and at night it will plummet to the lowest level under backlight." It's cold at more than 200 degrees Celsius.

This huge temperature difference between day and night makes lunar rocks very easy to disintegrate. Since the birth of the moon, huge meteorites have hit the moon. Frequent impacts have caused the lunar rocks to maintain the normal state of Feng Shui. Therefore, there are many debris on the surface of the moon. Stone.

However, overall, there is still a huge difference between the lunar soil and the soil on our blue star.

Our research principle is to maintain the integrity of the sample as much as possible, using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and in-situ micro-area secondary ion mass spectrometry to conduct research, focusing on the close integration of micro-scale mineral structure and chemical composition to study lunar samples.

There is less loss. Although it cannot be returned to the warehouse as it is, one gram of sample is enough for us to study for several years to maximize the value of these precious samples. "

A company with rich R\u0026D resources such as Jiuzhou Technology is so cautious when dealing with lunar rocks and soil. Even after receiving a gift from the Daxia Aerospace Group, it has always chosen non-destructive sample analysis methods for analysis. "

Gu Qing knew clearly that if he hadn't come to personally inspect the work today, I'm afraid none of these engineers and researchers would have opened the new materials.

After all, the particle size of lunar soil is mostly only 0.1-0.4 microns, many of which are smaller than the environmentally healthy PM2.5.

After the original samples were extracted, lunar geology expert Luo Song led two engineering researchers, Liu Tang and Li Yuan, to conduct a comprehensive comparison.

Gu Qing did not urge them to move faster.

As the head of Jiuzhou Technology, he sat in the observation room of the laboratory, enjoying the massage of the ergonomic chair and listening to the soothing Daxia Guqin music to soothe his mood.

This is a diagnosis and treatment project explained by Hu Ting, a psychotherapist at Jiuzhou Technology.

It must be done six times a week, totaling more than three hours.

The waiting time was not long, and just when Gu Qinggang felt a little relaxed, Luo Song, a lunar geology expert hired by the company with a high salary and even customized a life-sustaining cradle for him, walked in with a folder-shaped tablet. into the observation room.

"Mr. Gu, the final comparison results are out."

Turning off the music and stopping the massage function, Gu Qing stood up, took the tablet from the other party, and then stretched out his right hand: "Thank you, Mr. Luo and all the engineering researchers."

Luo Song held the young man's right hand and said with a serious look on his face: "This is not hard work. The retrieval and entry of modeling data is the hardest part. After all, Tiangong and Lingjing Ecology can help each other, but in the end We still need to fill in the basic data.

During this period, several researchers could not bear the pressure and chose to actively reduce data proofreading work. "

"Of course, we did not delay the acceptance time at the end of the mission because of this."

After all, people are not robots, so Gu Qing is not surprised that some people flinch.

If you give up, you will gain.

Those people are unwilling to put all their energy into their work. They gain relaxation, but at the same time they lose the qualification for rapid promotion.

He is not a saint, nor is he a god who controls people's hearts.

Gu Qing has never considered how important his position in the hearts of others is. Similarly, he has never equated the importance of the project with the hearts of others.

"My eyes are a little tired. I will ask Liu Tang and Li Yuan to help me with the next report."

"No problem." Facing this old man who has long been able to live a long life, it is impossible for Gu Qing to force him.

Liu Tang is a young man from the Northeast who is 1.83 meters tall, but he doesn’t know if he has stayed in Rongcheng, West Sichuan for too long. When he gave a report, his accent was more of a West Sichuan accent. Daxia Mandarin.

Although this was his first time reporting to Gu Qing at such a close range, the Northeastern young man did not have trembling hands or feet.

From Gu Qing's observation, the other party only breathed a little faster.

“By studying the nanomineralogical characteristics of lunar samples, we examine the intensity of cosmic ray erosion and the combination, morphology, deformation characteristics and stages of impact-derived minerals.

Among the samples we collected, we found high-pressure minerals and extremely trace amounts of uranium-containing minerals.

One thing that is clear is that the original big impact hypothesis was biased.

The large impact hypothesis states that the high temperature generated by the impact will cause the moon's volatile elements to be irreparably lost. Even fifteen years ago, our Blue Star scientists basically believed that there was no water in the interior of the moon, just like the surface, only very dry lunar soil and lunar rocks.

But in our detection of these samples, we found a certain amount of moisture.

We have communicated with the official staff of Daxia Aerospace Group in charge of lunar samples and confirmed that they did not let the air from Blue Star enter the sealed boxes and bottles.

Of course, current research shows that some lunar minerals contain structural water, and even water ice has been found at the north pole of the moon. "
