According to Wu Hao's plan, both the next lunar scientific research station and the future lunar city will be constructed using lunar resources as much as possible. In this way, on the one hand, it is to reduce construction costs as much as possible, and on the other hand, it is for sustainable development.

Always transfusing blood from the earth is definitely not a long-term solution. If lunar scientific research stations and lunar cities want to develop, they must rely on lunar resources.

Therefore, in their plan, some construction equipment and related raw materials will be transported to the moon in the early stages of construction of the lunar scientific research station. The most important of them is naturally intelligent robots. These robots will become the main force in the construction of future lunar scientific research stations and lunar cities.

At the same time, they will also assume the main role in future lunar operations. Whether it is scientific research and exploration, mineral development, etc., these fully automated intelligent robots will be used to take charge. If it relies on manpower, the cost is too high.

In the process of utilizing lunar resources, the most important thing is the utilization of mineral resources on the moon, including the development and utilization of metal mineral deposits on the moon, which inevitably requires the use of arc furnaces. By then, melting the platinum star core will be a matter of course.

While the public focuses on this platinum star core worth 400 million, scientists, including Wu Hao, are actually focusing more on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface inspection and detection. The on-board laboratory’s test and analysis report on the lunar soil samples from this small crater.

Although the composition of the lunar soil samples extracted from many places in this small crater is not much different from the lunar soil samples extracted before, it is just that the proportions of each element are different. However, what is special this time, and what attracts the attention of all experts and Wu Hao, is that this time after they added oxygen to the extracted lunar soil sample, oxygen was actually separated from it.

This is definitely a major scientific research discovery, and it also verifies the previous research results of scientists. The idea of ​​extracting oxygen from lunar soil is achievable. Scientists previously found through the lunar soil samples they brought back that there is still oxygen in the loose lunar soil, and the proportion is high. However, because the lunar soil samples brought back were affected by the earth's environment and were not conducted in a vacuum box, such a discovery has never been confirmed.

This time, the scientific research team directly used the on-board laboratory on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle to conduct experiments in a pollution-free vacuum environment, thereby obtaining the oxygen composition, which can verify previous scientists' The findings are correct.

The significance of this achievement is undoubtedly huge. It will lay the foundation for humans to land on the moon in the future and live on the moon for a long time. It will provide a sufficient source of oxygen for humans to live on the moon. And this oxygen can not only be breathed by humans, but can also be used as fuel and converted into water.

Of course, this is just a preliminary test and analysis. The instruments and equipment in the vehicle-mounted laboratory are not complete enough, so the test results have been questioned by many experts and scholars. Although there are doubts, such results should make everyone excited, because such findings can point the way for many future studies.

"Are you sure?" After learning that such a discovery was successful, Wu Hao also came to the Xinyuehu Aerospace Command and Control Center, looked at the detection and analysis data on the big screen, and asked Zhang Qutong.

Zhang Qutong shook his head, and then said conservatively: "This is just a test and analysis result, so we can't be sure whether this is really a test for oxygen or a malfunction of the instrument and equipment.

Therefore, we are preparing to negotiate with the control team of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol rover, and plan to stay here for a while longer to sample and analyze the lunar soil in this crater again.

In addition to the lunar soil in the crater, we will also sample and analyze the lunar soil around the crater. From this, we can analyze and study whether it is the oxygen brought by the asteroid impact or the oxygen originally in the lunar soil, and the energy of the asteroid impact was brought to the surface lunar soil. "

Wu Hao nodded when he heard this. Such a discovery is indeed suitable for spending more time here. It would be a great discovery if we could figure out the source of the oxygen in these lunar soil samples. Its value is enough to be on the Nobel Prize podium, and it will even push the human lunar exploration program to a new stage. Its significance is self-evident.

Of course, for Wu Hao and others, if the oxygen content in the lunar soil here is rich, it may become one of the possible sites for their lunar scientific research station or even lunar city in the future.

Zhang Qutong, with an excited face, chattered at Wu Hao: "If oxygen can be found and it proves that the oxygen content here is rich, then we can consider locating the lunar scientific research station here in the future.

With oxygen, we can provide sufficient oxygen for astronauts and researchers in scientific research stations, and we can also use oxygen as propulsion fuel and produce domestic water. Find Shuyuan www． zhaoshuyuan.com

Of course, it is best to directly find water resources, especially the water-bearing ice layer in the lunar soil, and mine them. This can save us a lot of trouble. "

Hearing Zhang Qutong's words, Wu Hao laughed and said: "Through the resource detection of NASA and CNSA, the water resources on the moon are mainly concentrated in the North and South Poles. There are basically no water resources near the equator like this."

After Wu Hao finished speaking, Zhang Qutong smiled and shook his head: "It's not absolute. We believe that there is still a lot of surface ice in the permanently shadowed parts of these craters, and the reserves are still very rich, enough to meet the initial needs. Used by humans to land on the moon.

And we believe that the deeper lunar soil on the moon also contains a lot of water. So in the next step, we plan to find a suitable location for drilling, and plan to extract lunar soil samples from a depth of one meter to one and a half meters for testing and analysis to see if our judgment is correct. "

"I'm afraid it will be more difficult to utilize the deeper permafrost." Wu Hao shook his head slightly after hearing this, obviously not optimistic about such a research project.

This is only a preliminary study at present, and the specific utilization method remains to be solved in subsequent studies. Zhang Qutong obviously understood the meaning of Wu Hao's words, and immediately explained: "And this research will be of great help to us in analyzing the formation of the moon, the geological structure of the moon, and the history of the development and formation of the moon.

Moreover, science and technology are also constantly developing. It is definitely difficult to use the water sources in these deep frozen soils with current technical conditions, but in the future, if the technology matures in the future, it will not be a problem to reuse it. "
