Advanced Players in Arc

Due to the special nature of the Moon City, in addition to the space workers who came specifically to build the Moon City, the first batch of earthlings who immigrated there will definitely also be involved in the later construction of the Moon City.

And just like cities on Earth, this construction process is always going on. Even if the original plan has been completed, the part that was initially constructed will have to be updated and upgraded, so we still have to continue.

Therefore, construction-related workers and jobs will always be needed.

Even Dong Chen and his group, the first batch of lunar survivors who moved in as an experiment, are the same. Some of them will do work supporting the construction.

Just like Dong Chen, he started the bulldozer.

As soon as Dong Chen and No. 1 went out today, they met Lian Ru, who was running over with devilish steps and covered in sweat. He said, "Brother Dong, Sister Yiyi, are you going to drive a bulldozer again today?"

Seeing that the person who came was Lian Ru, No. 1 just nodded and answered, while Dong Chen said, "Yes, it's our turn today. Look how long have you been running?"

"We've already run half way, and there's still half left to run," Lian Ru said when he heard Dong Chen gasping in front of him. "The moon is good, but it's just that it's not good to have to exercise every day. It's simply the nemesis of otakus."

"Haha, it's good to exercise, otherwise it won't be fun if you have osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. By the way, what about Xiao Xing, don't you run together every day?" Dong Chen asked with a smile.

"In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the movement, the community hospital set up a reward for the first place. This brat has already ran to the front and didn't even know he was waiting for me." Speaking of Xing Chenjia, practicing Confucianism is like gnashing of teeth, don't This kid may be young, but he runs really fast.

"Brother Dong, Sister Yiyi, I have to catch up quickly, otherwise I might have to contribute one point to that kid today."

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

Seeing Lian Ruyue running away with devilish steps again, Dong Chen laughed again.

Since the gravity of the moon is relatively small, you must have a special posture when running on the moon. Otherwise, if you run according to the posture on the earth, you will have to fall over.

After everyone's exploration in the past few days, everyone has a set of exercise postures that suit them. The running method of Lian Ruyue is to take long strides and jump up and down. The posture looks funny, so every time Dong Chen sees When he ran, he looked like he had seen the devil.

Of course, Dong Chen's running posture is not very good-looking either.

If I were to say good-looking, it would be No. 1. She had super computing power, so she quickly adapted to the moon environment, which made her run similar to that on Earth, and even the way she strode looked more elegant.

After people like Dong Chen and Lian Ruyue become more familiar with the gravity and environment of the moon, they may be able to adjust their running postures and look better.

However, it may be that he is completely familiar with his own devilish pace and cannot change it even if he wants to.

"Let's go, bulldozer goddess, let's go and drive our bulldozer."

After Lian Ru left, Dong Chen greeted No. 1 into the smart car and went straight to the construction site.

Fortunately, No. 1's holographic projection was not here, and it was only controlling a guard robot. Otherwise, Dong Chen would definitely see No. 1 rolling his eyes.

Speaking of driving a bulldozer, I still have to blame Dong Chen. He wanted to drive a bulldozer and wander around the moon. As his bodyguard, No. 1 naturally has to be around him, so he can only choose this one. .

No. 1 still remembers the way people at the scene looked at her when she chose this career that day, and she also got a nickname: Bulldozer Goddess.

And Dong Chen’s deliberate address every time.

If the intelligent safety law did not allow her to harm Dong Chen, Dong Chen would definitely have his head full by now.

As for the bulldozer they were going to drive, it was not a bulldozer on Earth. It was just another name given to it by people because it seemed to have similar functions.

In fact, what they pushed was not just soil, but all minerals and fuels, all of which could be used by the Arclight Group's lunar construction plan.

Many people already know that there are more rare metals on the moon than on the earth, especially in resource-rich areas, where a shovelful of them is full of minerals.

There are hundreds of known minerals on it that have been proven, and several of them are not found on earth, which confirms its important position in the development of human civilization.

There are three main types of rocks on the moon. The first is maria basalt, which is rich in iron and titanium; the second is anorthosite, which is rich in potassium, rare earths and phosphorus, and is mainly distributed in the lunar highlands; the third is mainly It is a breccia composed of 0.1 to 1 mm lithic particles and contains rich metal mineral resources such as chromium, nickel, magnesium, and silicon.

Taking iron as an example, the 5 centimeter-thick sand on the lunar surface alone contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, and the entire lunar surface has an average of 10 meters of sand. The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely abundant, but also easy to mine and smelt. Because the iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, as long as the oxygen and iron are separated, such technology is naturally easy for the Arc Light Group.

In addition, Arclight Group also has methods of using lunar soil and rocks to make cement and glass. In addition, the content of aluminum is also very abundant in the lunar surface.

These mineral resources and their industrial products are greatly needed by the Arclight Group's lunar construction plan.

Once their production catches up, the cost of the group's lunar construction plan will be further reduced, and it can even feed the group's other construction plans, sell them to other countries on the earth, and so on.

In addition to these mineral resources for construction, there is also an important energy fuel that has just been put into use a few days ago, and that is helium-3.

The total reserves of helium-3 in the world do not exceed 100 kilograms, and most of them are formed by the decay of tritium in nuclear warheads. Even if the helium-3 from the decay of tritium in deep-sea gas wells and volcanic gases is included, the world's maximum amount of helium-3 can reach only 100 kilograms per year. Can get 10-20 kilograms.

Even if it is used for scientific research, this "output" is insufficient, and it cannot be used for nuclear fusion fuel to generate electricity.

Equivalent to the scarce reserves on the earth, the reserves of helium-3 on the moon are huge. There are at least 1 million tons of helium-3 embedded in the surface of the moon. As for the specific amount, one of the tasks of the Arclight Group's lunar base is to continuously accurately With this number, these lunar soils only need to be heated to a suitable temperature, and more than 90% of the helium-3 will be released.

It just so happens that the moon is also an excellent place to "smelt" helium-3. The environment here is high vacuum, low gravity, high temperature, and large temperature difference, which is perfect for heating the lunar soil and implementing helium-3 separation.

However, with so many reserves and such good conditions, scientists all over the world can only covet it because they...have not mastered the core technology.

Still haven’t mastered either.

First, controllable nuclear fusion is not possible, and second, low-cost lunar flight capability is not possible either.

But the Arc Light Group is a model of mastering core technologies, and there are still...a lot of core technologies mastered.

There is no problem with controllable nuclear fusion technology, and there is no problem with low-cost lunar navigation.

It has even mastered the core production area, and the smelting plant has been built directly on the moon, with a resource-rich area next to it.
