Chapter 711 Mutation

The moon, lunar base 380,000 kilometers away from the earth

Trillions of dollars have been invested in the entire lunar base, and its daily output is extremely impressive.

Command Base No. 1, which was developed on the basis of the original Scientific Research Station No. 1, is enough to accommodate a thousand astronauts to work and live here. There are also Command Base No. 2 and Command Base No. 3 of the same size.

They are all built by astronauts and robots.

Normal astronauts work and live here, including operating the production factory. Only if there is a problem, the astronauts will set off here, drive the lunar rover to the destination for repairs, and wait for the problem to be solved.

Will return to the command base.

The oxygen and water here do not need to be transported from the earth. The oxygen comes directly from the electrolysis of iron oxide to obtain iron and oxygen, and the water is obtained through the chemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen obtained when refining helium 3.

A meeting was being held in the conference room of Command Base No. 1, with fifty astronauts participating in the meeting.

In the No. 1 command base, there are a total of 200 astronauts and 800 engineers living and working here. In the other two command bases, there are also 200 astronauts and 800 engineers. As the command base further expands, the establishment of the base

It will also expand further!

"Everyone, in 5 hours, a 'Dapeng' aerospace plane will arrive. The comrades who are on vacation will return to the earth, and their posts will be replaced by the newly arrived comrades. I am also on vacation this time, and the deputy commander Qiu

"Yun' is responsible for the overall work of the No. 1 Command Base during my vacation." Deng Jie, the commander of the No. 1 Command Base, said solemnly. Deng Jie was a member of China's first manned moon landing. After building the "Moon Base"

, he was appointed as the commander of the No. 1 Command Base in 2024 and presided over the work of the No. 1 Command Base. Normally, astronauts and engineers take turns every six months, which are all on a staggered basis, while commanders, deputy commanders and other cadres take turns every year.

once.

Deng Jie arranged the work, and the meeting lasted for a full hour before announcing the end of the meeting.

The command base is the most suitable for working and living. The gravity and environment here are no different from those on the surface of the earth. You can be self-sufficient in vegetables and the like, and you even raise fish, shrimp, chickens and ducks in the base.

Moreover, compared to the Earth, the facilities and equipment of the lunar base are the most advanced, and the number of robots far exceeds that of humans.

After the meeting, the 80 astronauts and engineers all packed their things. It was time for them to take a vacation this time, and they would return to Earth on the 'Dapeng' space plane with Deng Jie to start a three-month vacation.

.

As for the robot, the materials to be moved into the 'Dapeng' aerospace plane have been packed into a standard section.

With aerospace planes, traveling to and from the Earth and the Moon has become much easier, even easier than flying across continents.

When the time came, I saw a huge thing falling from the sky. It was the 'Dapeng' aerospace plane. It was not a 300-ton aerospace plane, but a 500-ton aerospace plane!

This means that its transportation weight exceeds four hundred tons, which is definitely a terrifying figure! This is a huge ship, which is absolutely surprising.

"Sister Liu Yang, why is it you?" Deng Jie said in surprise when he saw a figure getting off the "Dapeng" space plane.

The person who stepped down was none other than Liu Yang, China's first female astronaut in space. Now she is 60 years old and has taken the position of head of the Space Force. In theory, all astronauts must obey her management.

Women are not allowed to be inferior to men. After Liu Yang completed the first manned lunar landing and the second manned lunar landing, with the establishment of the Space Force, he no longer carried out manned space missions, but was transferred to be in charge of the Space Force.

Formation and research work. After the Tiangong space station was decommissioned, she was officially appointed as the head of the Space Force.

Another third-generation astronaut, Wang Yaping, is also a woman and serves as the on-site construction commander of the "Double Ring Space Station" project. She has been responsible for directing the construction of the "Double Ring Space Station" in Earth orbit for a long time.

Perhaps it is because of the leading role of Liu Yang and Wang Yaping that outstanding women in the aerospace field have emerged in large numbers, performing the role of women who are not inferior to men. Among the astronauts, there are many female astronauts, more than one-third, and their performance is better than that of men.

Astronauts are no different.

The sonorous rose is also displayed by female astronauts. Their charm and light also bloom in space and on the moon.

"What's wrong? I can't come!?" Liu Yang said. Although he is 60 years old, Liu Yang's temperament is not much different from before. He is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

Because of the aerospace plane, even female astronauts who are 60 years old can travel to and from space on the aerospace plane. This is not the first time Liu Yang has visited the moon.

"No, no, don't get me wrong!" Deng Jie said quickly. He respected Liu Yang very much. As an astronaut, he knew that Liu Yang had made such achievements that attracted the world's attention, and he had put in countless sacrifices behind them.

effort.

"Come, gather!" Liu Yang shouted, and he saw 45 astronauts and 35 engineers getting off the aerospace plane: "Have someone take these new recruits down!"

Deng Jie quickly asked deputy commander Qiu Yun to take them down to arrange accommodation and work location.

Liu Yang lowered his voice: "Well, Qin Zheng and Qin Shiman are the children of Academician Qin. Please take care of them and make sure nothing happens!"

Deng Jie finally understood why Liu Yang came in person this time. It turned out to be so. Considering Academician Qin's unique position in the aerospace field, his children would naturally receive special care when they became astronauts.

Moreover, Deng Jie happened to be a table tennis enthusiast, and they would play table tennis at the base from time to time. They were no strangers to Qin Shiman and Qin Zheng, two sports stars who had achieved great success in the field of table tennis.

However, Deng Jie still gave Qiu Yun special instructions, lest Qiu Yun was negligent and made any serious mistakes that caused heavy losses.

"Deng Jie, let everyone get on the plane and move everything quickly. We have to go to the other two bases!" A familiar voice came from the aerospace plane. Deng Jie looked and it was Yang Fang.

"Okay, you have the loudest voice!" Deng Jie said angrily. They belong to the same group of astronauts, the fourth generation of astronauts, and they also carried out China's first manned moon landing at the same time. Naturally, they have the best relationship.

The astronauts and engineers moved the things above, while the robot drove the transport truck to carry the materials into the cargo hold. The astronauts further checked to see if it was locked properly.

After confirming that there are no problems, both parties sign to confirm the handover. This is not only the materials produced by the base, but also the materials transported by aerospace aircraft from the earth to the moon and provided to the lunar base.

An hour later, the aerospace plane took off vertically and headed to another base.

Two hours later, the aerospace plane carried 240 astronauts and engineers who were taking turns to fly away from the moon easily. For an aerospace plane, it is extremely easy to reach the escape velocity of the moon.

Later, Yang Fang set the flight mode of the Dapeng aerospace plane to automatic cruise mode and chatted with Deng Jie and other astronauts.

In the past few years, Yang Fang's life has been colorful. She became the leader of the first test flight group of the Shenlong aerospace aircraft, and was also the commander of the standard combat aerospace aircraft. Later, she served as the commander of the Dapeng aerospace aircraft.

After becoming familiar with the 300-ton aerospace plane, she then challenged the 500-ton aerospace plane.

In addition, she is the first Chinese astronaut to land on the moon and the first female astronaut in the world to land on the moon. This makes her a living legend and is also very legendary in Chinese aerospace.

"I used to think that building a base on the moon would be a project with a large investment and little return, but I didn't expect that it has already begun to generate huge profits. Academician Qin is indeed a god and never makes a loss-making business!" Yang Fang couldn't help but said.

.

In just such a trip, there are 10 tons of helium 3, 50 tons of refined rare earth, titanium and titanium alloy components, and special accessories. Just in such a trip, the value is extremely amazing. The international market price of one kilogram of helium 3 is 100 million yuan.

, just 10 tons of helium 3 is worth 1 trillion yuan, the average price of one kilogram of rare earths is 3 million yuan, and 50 tons of rare earths is worth 150 billion yuan. As for titanium and titanium alloy components, the value of special accessories is also extremely amazing.

Of course, this is all calculated based on market prices, because the output is low. Once it is known that China's output at the lunar base is so high, it will fall accordingly.

However, it can also be seen from this that although the investment in the lunar base is large, the cost has been recovered in advance so far. Just the helium 3 and rare earths transported back have already recovered the cost.

10 tons of helium 3 can almost meet all of China's energy needs for a year, and you must know that the helium 3 extracted by China's lunar base in a year is more than 10 tons, but the helium 3 refined by China is not sold, and all of it is used by itself.

, store the unused ones.

"Academician Qin is a mathematician. There is no one in the world who is better at settling accounts than him. How could he be in a loss-making business?" Liu Yang said with a gentle smile: "When the first phase of the 'Double Ring Space Station' project is completed, the journey to and from the earth and the moon will be even more difficult."

It’s more convenient and can save a lot of fuel.”

"Sister Liu Yang, how is the construction of the 'Double Ring Space Station' now?" Deng Jie asked. He had been on duty at the lunar base for a year, but he didn't pay much attention to the 'Double Ring Space Station'. He really didn't know how it was progressing.

.

"The main body of the first phase of the 'Double Ring Space Station' project has been completed. The energy system will be connected this year. The next step will be the installation of internal and extravehicular instruments and equipment. Astronauts have already settled in the Double Ring Space Station!" Liu Yang smiled brightly and very happily.

Obviously she is proud of China's aerospace development, which she has worked for her whole life, with every drop of her sweat and effort.
