Chapter 1810

The lunar soil can be said to be "full of treasures", so naturally, the monitoring of the lunar soil research department is not simple.

Before Jiuzhou Technology successfully landed on the moon, Daxia official scientists conquered the conversion of water and carbon dioxide into hydrogen and oxygen, and also produced more complex compounds methane and methanol. The key technologies and materials they relied on were not the materials on the ground of the blue planet.

Instead, Daxia official scientists found some active compounds in the lunar soil samples. As catalysts, these compounds have good catalytic potential, but they are different from the catalysts on the ground of the blue planet in terms of performance.

Under the exploration of Daxia official scientists, they used artificial photosynthesis technology to achieve breakthroughs in these technologies through the catalysis of active compounds in the lunar soil.

Now, Jiuzhou Technology has several times, even dozens of times, the lunar soil, lunar rock and even lunar ice specimens of Daxia.

With such a large number of specimens, even master's and doctoral students can discover some cross-era technical materials through the exhaustive mode of the intelligent program AI Tiangong. What's more, the Jiuzhou Technology researchers who are now developing and researching lunar specimens are all top figures in the industry.

Before Gu Qing arrived, he had already seen some of the "essence" compiled by Xuanwu.

For example, the lunar iron development project has made new progress.

Compared with other minerals, the ilmenite in the lunar soil has superior properties in dissolving helium-3, but after helium-3 is injected into the ilmenite lattice, helium atoms will continue to be released.

Because the glass structure on the surface of the ilmenite particles blocks this release process, the helium-3 in the lunar soil is gradually stored.

Therefore, in order to efficiently mine and extract helium-3 from the moon in situ, the technical links that need to be broken through are mainly the extraction and storage of minerals rich in helium-3 in the lunar soil, and the in-situ release and extraction of helium-3.

And the researchers of Jiuzhou Technology found that in the forging technology of Jiuzhou mecha materials, there is a material refining technology that can release helium-3 through exaggerated mechanical crushing.

And the extraction efficiency is not low.

In addition, the researchers also found that the iron oxide in the lunar soil does undergo a photocatalytic reaction under the interaction with sunlight and high-energy particles, thereby releasing oxygen.

This discovery provides an important technical basis for the establishment of a lunar base and the configuration of an oxygen supply system.

Photocatalytic reaction is a process that uses light energy to stimulate a substance to undergo a chemical reaction. Under sunlight, the iron oxide in the lunar soil absorbs light energy and stimulates electrons to jump to the conduction band, forming active electrons and vacancies.

These active electrons and holes can participate in the photoreduction reaction of oxygen molecules and release oxygen from water molecules.

In the Lunar Technology Development Association, a laboratory in Daxia also submitted part of the data of the experiment for the association's points, but when the scientists of Jiuzhou Technology conducted the experiment, they were surprised to find that the iron oxide in the lunar soil specimens owned by Jiuzhou Technology produced oxygen at a rate three times that of that data under light!

In addition, researchers at Jiuzhou Technology also found that more than one component in the lunar soil can affect photocatalysis.

For example, substances containing carbon and sulfur elements such as carbonates and sulfates in the lunar soil will affect the mobility of active electrons and holes, thereby changing the speed of photocatalytic reactions.

When Gu Qing passed through numerous identity checks and entered a laboratory, he heard a steady voice: "What we need to determine now is whether the photocatalytic reactions of these materials are stable in the lunar environment? And how long can we develop oxygen generators and ecological operation equipment to maintain standard power consumption in the lunar environment?" Not long after this steady voice sounded, a slightly younger voice answered: "The device materials for making lunar oxygen can use titanium alloy 12352 and special alloy 2215 in mecha materials, as well as the metal materials of the Kyushu mecha energy core components. Although we don't know the specific properties and structure of the metal material at present, it can withstand such high temperature and high pressure. This metal material is definitely competent for oxygen production. The energy for heating the lunar soil can be provided by solar energy, nuclear energy and other renewable energy sources. It is just to decompose the lunar soil material and release oxygen. This step does not require much energy. After heating the lunar soil , the oxides in the lunar soil will gradually decompose into oxygen and other substances. Considering factors such as separation efficiency and energy consumption, I think we can use the air filtration system technology of Jiuzhou Mecha.

The separated oxygen needs to be stored for long-term use. It can be directly compressed or liquefied for storage, which is not a difficult technology.

However, these are all theoretical operations. In the lunar environment, we must also consider the collection efficiency of the collection device and the energy stability of the heating device.

Of course, we can use the Lingjing Laboratory, and I believe that we can get a perfect solution in a few days. "

After this young voice ended, another young but somewhat low voice said: "By heating the lunar soil to get the oxygen in it, we can not only rely on this oxygen for breathing, but also manufacture rocket fuel.

In addition, the oxygen element in the lunar soil can be used to make oxygen-rich compounds in air and water lunar soil, such as water and oxides, so we can actually purify and reconfigure the lunar soil so that it can grow vegetables!

If we can grow vegetables, then the plant and animal ecosystem can be established!

The lunar soil is rich in helium-3 and hydrogen isotopes, which are ideal nuclear fusion fuels. We at Jiuzhou Technology now have nuclear fission technology, and I heard that nuclear fusion technology is also being researched and explored.

If successful, we don't have to worry about energy problems on the moon.

The resources of an entire planet, we can develop and promote projects, not just the current few pages! We can even simulate the construction and operation of a world!

Perhaps we can use the lunar soil as the foundation of the world, study materials, use materials, and then send primates on the ground of the blue planet to the lunar base.

Through drugs, they have faster production and iteration capabilities.

If it's fast enough, in ten years, we will be able to get important data that can affect the development and evolution of mankind! "

Can primates evolve into humans?

Or is it a replica of the Planet of the Apes?

Gu Qing looked thoughtful.

After all, the origin of humans is still a mystery. The special environment of the moon may really have factors that affect evolution or even promote faster evolution.
