Chapter 55 Lunar Base Design

"Dr. Du, your health is good. You are just a little tired. You will be fine after a few days of rest." When Du Xingyu woke up, the beautiful medical lady beside him said.

"Thank you." Du Xingyu thanked him.

The medical lady next to him hesitated to speak. Du Xingyu asked curiously: "Is there anything else?"

"Well, can we take a photo together?" the medical lady asked expectantly.

"Of course." Du Xingyu agreed, took a photo with her and signed her autograph.

"Thank you!" The medical lady was so excited. I'm sure a lot of people will like it when I post it to Moments. I'm afraid tens of thousands of people will like it and follow it when I post it on social accounts!

Du Xingyu was originally a scientist and a big internet celebrity, and now he has become the first Chinese man to land on the moon. He is an idol worshiped by young people. Many people who come into contact with him are envious.

Du Xingyu packed up and went to the space agency.

The completion of the moon landing was only the beginning of the moon plan. First, the bureau held a meeting to discuss the moon development plan.

"According to the information we have received," Cao Liang said, "the United States and Russia should be able to land on the moon this year. The European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace should try to land on the moon next year, and India should also try to land on the moon within two years."

Needless to say, the aerospace capabilities of the United States, Russia and Europe are firmly at the forefront of the world.

The aerospace capabilities of the island country and India are not weak. Although the island country has no moon landing plan before, they have been launching rockets and spacecraft to explore outer space every year.

As for the Indian Space Agency, it received help from European, American and Russian space agencies and successfully launched a Mars probe as early as 2013. Although the lunar probe crashed, they cannot be underestimated.

"We must be the first to develop the moon!" He Jingcheng said, "There are rich mineral resources on the moon, such as precious rare earths and helium 3, which will definitely become the focus of competition among countries. If we develop the moon early, we can explore and develop it in advance. These precious resources.”

Rare earths are essential resources for high-tech industries such as electronics, lasers, and nuclear industries. They are rare throughout the world and are strategic materials!

What's more, helium 3 is one of the isotopes of helium. When using helium 3 as a nuclear fusion energy source, there is almost no radiation pollution and it is a cleaner energy source.

Helium 3 will be an important raw material for the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology! On the moon, its content is much higher than on Earth!

"In the final analysis, the development of the moon depends on who can build a base on the moon first!" Du Xingyu said, "Without a base, geological exploration and resource development are just castles in the air."

No matter how precious the resources of the moon are, a round trip from the earth to the moon requires a lot of time, energy and money. This is also the reason why the Americans canceled the Apollo moon landing program before.

Only by having a base on the moon, directly settling on the moon, and engaging in development, construction and mining can we reduce these sky-high losses.

"I suggest that after comprehensive overhaul of Xingkong-2 and Taiyin, we should immediately go to the moon again. Send six astronauts specializing in engineering to stay on the lunar surface for more than half a year and gradually build a lunar base."

"In addition, based on the existing drawings, continue to manufacture nuclear-powered rockets and spaceships, and increase the number of rockets and spaceships to and from the moon and Tiangong Space Station to a space fleet!" Liu Yuan suggested.

"It can be considered." Cao Liang did not refuse. After the development of recyclable rockets and spacecrafts, the cost of manufacturing rockets and spacecrafts was reduced by 90%!

You know, before Du Xingyu entered the space agency, these money-burning gadgets were disposable items! Destroy once used!

In these launch missions, except for newly manufactured aerospace products, everything else was reused, and the launch cost was actually less than before.

Maybe in a few years, when aerospace equipment can be produced on assembly lines, the cost of space travel will be reduced even further! Du Xingyu couldn't help but think of Xingyao Company. If you want to produce space products on the assembly line, you still have to rely on space commercial companies.

"Now we still have a problem. The cave-style lunar base is only the initial state." Du Xingyu said, "To achieve the ideal effect, we need to design and manufacture a more advanced lunar base."

"I agree." He Jingcheng nodded first.

"The lunar base project should be established!" Xiong Ming said, "Earth - space station - lunar base must be completed at three points before our earth's outer space system can be completed."

"I think we need to discuss this with the military. They are also very interested in the moon base and should be willing to pay." Lu Hong said.

"Anyway, let's make a preliminary plan ourselves. It will take some time for approval from above." Cao Liang ordered, "First set up a group. I think it will be led by a few academicians and experts."

Of course, Du Xingyu is also a member of the moon base plan.

However, he did not need to do the first phase of the work. The space agency granted him a two-month leave, allowing him to go home to rest and recuperate.

They also knew that Du Xingyu would never be able to take a good vacation and would have to study at home every day.

…

The space agency originally planned to arrange a special flight to send Du Xingyu home, but Du Xingyu thought it was too wasteful. For example, his teacher Liu Yuan, the academicians of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering at the space agency, usually travel by public transportation, so there is no need for him to mobilize troops.

However, he still has the qualification to travel on national transportation for free, and the number of bodyguards has been increased from one to three, and he still has protective power secretly.

In the first-class cabin of the plane flying to his hometown, Du Xingyu had already turned on the technology simulator in his mind and started designing a lunar base.

"The lunar base must have basic living, production, development, space transportation and other functions... In view of the limited development capabilities of the moon, it is best to make an expandable design." Du Xingyu invested energy points to simulate the previously detected lunar terrain come out.

"Preliminary design, the base blueprint covers an area of ​​8,000 square meters! It can be expanded in the future." Du Xingyu circled a piece of land on the simulated terrain of the lunar surface, and then began simulated construction.

"This base should be a combination of underground buildings and ground buildings. It is difficult to build on the moon, so it is designed to have one underground floor and two above ground floors..."

"To prevent space radiation, the wall must be thick, and coupled with the temperature difference between day and night on the moon...multi-layer walls can solve this problem. Two-layer exterior wall?" Du Xingyu first designed the exterior wall into two layers, and on the simulator , indicating that the radiation exceeds the standard.

He continued to add walls until he designed six layers of walls with a thickness of 1.4 meters, which showed that the radiation effects were eliminated. After the exterior wall, he added an interior wall with a thickness of 2.4 meters to continue to protect against radiation and play a role in thermal insulation and cooling.

On the technology simulator, the moon base already has a foundation shape.
