Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

After 39 hours of sitting on the Earth-Moon number,

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi passed through the lunar orbital space platform and transferred to the lander.

Accurately landed on the moon and the location of the lunar base,

The lander completed the adjustment before landing, and accurately connected with the 'port' of the lunar surface base,

That is to say, the lunar surface base reserves the lander interface to complete the docking.

"Mo Yuan, welcome to the lunar base."

When the cabin door opens and passes through two airtight doors,

The person in charge of the lunar base and many others are already waiting for Mo Dao.

"Um."

Probably to satisfy the emotions of the personnel who had just arrived at the lunar base,

In the first cabin after entering the lunar base, Qiusuo Research Institute made a very interesting design.

Two transparent portholes are designed on both sides of the cabin.

When people who enter the lunar base turn their heads, they can immediately see the outside of the lunar base through the portholes.

It was a completely different scene from the ground.

Mo Dao also looked at the scene outside the porthole.

After decades,

After crossing two eras again, he once again set foot on the lunar base.

"Show me the lunar base."

Mo Dao looked at the person in charge of the lunar base who came to greet him, and just said one more sentence.

Although Mo Dao had seen and participated in the entire lunar base design,

With his ever-increasing memory, he may be more familiar with the entire lunar base than all the astronauts staying at the lunar base.

But Mo Dao still walked around the lunar base like an ordinary visitor.

Qin Huaishi walked beside Mo Dao and rarely said anything. Most of the time he just smiled and visited with Mo Dao.

The structure of the entire lunar base,

It is definitely different from any human settlement on the ground.

It's more like moving the space platform to the moon.

It is made up of several cabins that have been continuously launched to the lunar surface over the years.

The basic structure is a large cabin composed of multiple cabins in the middle.

In the design of the Research Institute, this large cabin is called the node cabin or the central cabin.

Then there are several interfaces surrounding the node cabin, which are radially connected to some ordinary cabins.

These common cabins are called connecting cabins.

The other interfaces of the connection cabin may be connected to other connection cabins, but they may also be connected to another node cabin.

The entire lunar base,

At this moment, there are several node cabins and large cabins, and then several node cabins are connected by a bunch of connecting cabins.

The whole presents a network structure,

Theoretically, the lunar base can continue to expand outward until it covers the entire lunar surface.

At present, Qiusuo Research Institute has deployed more than 80 node modules and nearly 500 connection modules on the lunar surface.

The lunar base composed of these spread out cabins can accommodate a total of more than 2,200 permanent lunar base personnel.

Including astronauts, payload experts, researchers in related fields from the Quest Institute, and technical personnel.

Although the interfaces of each node cabin and connection cabin are basically unified,

However, the early node cabins and connecting cabins were very different in terms of height and single space.

After all, the entire lunar base took twenty to thirty years to build.

The size of these cabins, to a large extent, also reflects the progress of Qiusuo Research Institute’s space transportation capacity and the improvement of space cabin design over the years.

In the latest node cabin, the space is completely like a wide conference hall.

This is the largest cabin that was carried by Yuanhang 6 in four batches, deployed and combined and docked on the lunar surface.

It may be difficult to gather more than 2,000 astronauts here together. If you squeeze in, half of them will be able to stand without much difficulty.

In the first node cabin, although multiple parts are put together, you have to be careful not to use too much force when moving to avoid bumping your head.

"Mo Yuan, this is the space laboratory..."

"Um."

There is no need for too many introductions from the person in charge of the lunar base.

Mo Dao did not disturb the work of various laboratories too much.

The various teams of Qiusuo Research Institute in the lunar base are basically divided according to node modules.

A smaller research team is basically a node cabin and a laboratory, and the relevant researchers live and live around the connection cabins surrounding the node cabin.

The larger research team has a few more node cabins, and the technicians responsible for mineral mining-related work are basically in a circle of node cabins for convenience.

also,

There is another thing about the lunar base, which is similar to the near-Earth space platform.

The lunar base also has weapons, and they are heavy weapons such as missiles.

It's not to deal with foreign enemies. After all, there is basically only the lunar base of the Qiusuo Research Institute on the moon.

Mainly to avoid the invasion of some small meteorites,

Although Qiusuo Research Institute must have chosen the location of the lunar base carefully,

But sometimes accidents are inevitable. Weapons are for solving those little accidents.

"Let's go to the conference room."

The entire lunar base is big, but when you walk on it, it's not that wide.

After a brief spin,

Mo Dao was just the person in charge of the base on the same moon, so he said nothing more.

…

The lunar base conference room is also a small command center.

At this moment, the core researchers of the lunar base were gathered in the conference room to hold this meeting with Mo Dao.

Mo Dao arrived at the lunar base this time,

In addition to walking around the moon, there are naturally some other things.

"... At present, the lunar base has been able to achieve a certain degree of mining on the lunar surface."

"The main minerals mined at present are still on helium 3. Later, it may be necessary to expand the scope of mining."

"After a certain degree of breakthrough in electric propulsion technology, although the cost of transportation from the earth to the moon has been reduced, simply transporting resources from the earth to supply the lunar surface does not meet our goal of developing the moon."

"The ultimate goal on the moon is to use the materials on the moon to complete the construction on the moon and beyond."

"Next, the task of the lunar base is to continue to develop and directly use the raw materials on the moon for construction."

"The primary goal is to realize the manufacture of such things on the moon."

Mo Dao said to the core researchers of the lunar base with a calm expression,

and took out a dark crystal from his pocket.

This is one of the crystals in the basic computing unit in the Suigu plan.

Looking at the crystal that Mo Dao took out, the core researchers did not react too embarrassedly.

This is naturally a very difficult task, but it will not be done independently by the researchers in their lunar base.

The Qiusuo Research Institute will definitely deploy production equipment and even smart workshops that can complete this production to the lunar base.

What they need to do is more to cooperate.

And this matter is a prerequisite for completing the Suigu Project on the moon.

Even if the transportation cost is reduced a lot, the Qiusuo Research Institute cannot use all the computing units made on the earth to transport them to the moon to complete the Suigu Project.

That would be meaningless, and there is still space on the ground.

There is no need to raise the cost like that.

Even if there is a breakthrough in materials science, the computing cluster required for the Suigu Project cannot be small.

In the last life, the huge centralized computing units were like a city. In this life, a little less is also half a city.

Mo Dao put down the crystal in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the screen in this conference room.

Other core researchers also turned their eyes.

In order to realize the Suigu Plan and complete the industrial construction and resource development of the lunar base,

At this moment, the Qiusuo Research Institute has also prepared a preparatory action to be completed today.

Today,

The Qiusuo Research Institute will start to deploy a helium-3 fusion reactor near the lunar base.
