Chapter 1687 Separating water from lunar soil

The news that Haoyu Technology's lunar probe "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection vehicle successfully landed on the moon, as the first chapter animation was released, instantly detonated the Internet, and this news was quickly reported by major media , becoming the headlines of major media and charts.

Especially the rapid release of the panoramic photos of the first chapter directly confirms this point. Through this panoramic photo, everyone can clearly see the surrounding terrain environment, as well as the wreckage of the aerial crane that crashed in the distance, and some details of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle are also shown in the breakthrough middle.

This further proves that the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle has safely and smoothly landed on the moon.

It’s amazing. There are only a handful of countries in the world that can land probes on the moon, and there are even fewer countries that have the strength to independently develop probes and successfully land on the moon. With this strength, it is probably at the top of the middle among all space-faring countries.

The ones upstairs, excluding those above, are the middle and upper-class ones, I should say the most cutting-edge ones. As far as this is concerned, except for the leading countries, no one can match it.

In fact, compared to the successful moon landing, I was more surprised that such a clear panoramic photo could be transmitted to the earth within half an hour after the moon landing. This kind of response and communication transmission efficiency is definitely the best for all lunar and even extraterrestrial exploration. Currently the fastest among all servers.

Yes, I have also noticed this. I just downloaded this photo from the official social account of Haoyu Technology. It is 11 megabytes in size. This is a compressed photo. It is said that the panoramic photo is several hundred megabytes in size. Please beg me. The original picture.

Same request, but a photo is only a few hundred megabytes, so can our computer be able to open it?

You guys above are overthinking it. Photos of several hundred megabytes are not for you, and even if they are given to you, you may not be able to open them. Such photos are of great scientific research value, and it is impossible for Haoyu Technology to make them public for free. And it's just a matter of comparison. Scientists love this photo no less than we do.

Didn’t the official say before that some photos would be uploaded to the official website of Haoyu Aerospace for netizens to download for free or for a fee? I don’t know if this photo will be uploaded, but I want to download it and make it a wallpaper.

If you want to make a wallpaper, the photo on the official social account is suitable. It is 11 megabytes in size and the resolution is sufficient.

This kind of photos that have been published will definitely be uploaded, but I don’t know whether they are free or paid, and whether they are expensive. If they are cheap, I will buy a few to support them.

Since netizens can pay to download it, the price will certainly not be much higher. Otherwise, everyone will download pirated copies, and they will lose more than they gain.

This is true. In fact, everyone can wait. This time Haoyu Technology has a professional high-definition camera. Its image quality is much higher than this panoramic camera. We can look forward to the high-definition camera on the rover. Filmed blockbusters.

Compared to the photos, I am actually more curious about why the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol rover chose this place as the landing site. Generally speaking, don't you choose a large plain? There is something special about Qihai.

Not all of them are great plains. The terrain where some detectors land is quite complex. The large crater plain is certainly conducive to landing and the passage of the detector, but the geographical terrain is too simple, and the value of scientific research is naturally greatly reduced. According to previous interpretations by experts, the location of the air sea is quite special. Firstly, it is located near the equator of the moon. Secondly, the air sea is a crater formed earlier. It is useful for scientists to study the geographical environment and the formation of the moon in the early period. of great scientific research value. Third, the Qihai is not big or small. It is surrounded by various lunar mountains, and there are many famous large craters nearby. The terrain is very rich and has high scientific research value.

This is just the analysis of scientists. In my opinion, the reason why Qihai was chosen as the landing site must be to consider the factors mentioned above. On the other hand, I think Wu Hao and others, or the entire lunar exploration project expert team, must They also have their own intentions or plans. According to the previously announced lunar exploration mission, the main mission of this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle is to search for mineral resources and water resources on the moon, as well as to provide space for lunar scientific research stations and future lunar exploration vehicles. City location. So I think the reason why I chose this place may meet some of these conditions.

According to your analysis, it can be explained clearly. The geology and terrain here are complex and the mineral resources are certainly rich. However, the water resources on the moon are mainly concentrated in the ice layers of the North and South Pole, with most of them in the South Pole. This is located near the lunar equator, so there may be no surface ice. Whether it is a lunar scientific research station or a future lunar city, the most important thing to choose is a stable geological structure, and the other is sufficient water resources. From this point of view, it is obviously inappropriate here.

Not necessarily. The ice on the moon is mainly distributed in the North and South Pole, and the ice layer on the moon is mainly in the Antarctic. However, this does not mean that there are no water resources elsewhere on the moon. On the contrary, scientists have found that surface ice also appears in the moon's craters and in the shadows of mountains. In addition, there is ample water resources in the lunar soil.

In fact, astronauts and scientists who land on the moon in the future may not necessarily obtain water from the ice. They may also use a more clever way to obtain water, oxygen and hydrogen. The lunar soil is very rich in silica and iron-titanium oxide (ilmenite), and scientists can completely separate liquid water from it.

This is incredible, is this technology reliable? Since there is water on the moon, why bother to spend so much effort to separate water from silica and iron-titanium oxide (ilmenite)? The efficiency is too low.

Smart said this is a backup method. This technology can be applied not only to the moon, but also to the drier Mars.

It's too far to say this now. I want to know now whether this "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle is really racing on the moon. Can it really drive so fast?

Not necessarily. After finally sending the lunar rover to the moon, it is definitely better to be more cautious. Otherwise, if it gets damaged or overturns, then so much money and so much hard work will be wasted.

Don’t forget the mission of this vehicle. If it really wants to be moved by a few centimeters like other detectors, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to run tens of thousands of kilometers.

Okay, stop arguing, let's all wait and see.
