The successful test flight of "Duji" is of epoch-making significance for Qingquan Technology to explore space. As mentioned above, you can freely and quickly travel back and forth in space every day, live on the ground, work and research in space. This lifestyle has arrived.

When the enlarged version of "Duji" and the "Big Stupid Elephant" were truly created, there was no problem with large-scale space bases, such as space factories, and space cities.

Qingquan Technology has now formed a complete space technology system, from the initial rockets and satellites, to space stations that only a few countries have that can stay in space for a long time, to the current space shuttles that can quickly travel to and from the ground and space, and to the nuclear fusion power used in real spacecraft in the future.

It can be said that Qingquan Technology has truly mastered the technology and capital for exploring space, and even if it is now separated from the earth, it can stay in space for a long time.

Controllable nuclear fusion technology can provide powerful power for large-mass and super-large spacecraft. Space shuttles that can travel back and forth between space and the ground can be used for combat and escort in space, and can also be used for exploration on various planets. Although rockets seem to be out of date, they can also be used as important weapons and power when they are too fast.

A very complete set of space and space technology has been researched by the scientists of Qingquan Technology. What is missing now is a legitimate opportunity to do it boldly.

Of course, to build a large-scale spacecraft, it must be built in space. It is not realistic to build the ground and then launch it on the ground. The transportation cost alone is enough to make the company bankrupt.

What's more, for large-scale aircraft, many of the super-large parts, are definitely best to be manufactured at one time, rather than assembled by parts. Therefore, Qingquan Technology's next step is to build a space factory, and the space factory naturally needs to find enough minerals to meet the construction and production needs of the space factory.

Naturally, the moon entered the field of vision of scientists at Qingquan Technology. The moon is the closest to the earth and the largest celestial body!

The moon has abundant minerals. According to detection, the moon has more rare metals stored on it than the earth.

There are three main types of rocks on the moon. The first is lunar sea basalt rich in iron and titanium; the second is plagiarite, rich in potassium, rare earths and phosphorus, and is mainly distributed in the lunar highlands; the third is mainly breccia composed of 0.\n1-1 mm rocks. Moon rocks contain all the elements in the earth and about 60 minerals, of which 6 minerals are not available on the earth.

The moon has extremely rich mineral resources, and the 17 most common elements on the earth are everywhere on the moon. Take iron as an example. Sand soil with a thickness of 5 cm of sand on the surface of the moon alone contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron, while the entire moon surface is an average of 10 meters thick.

The iron on the surface of the moon is not only extremely rich, but also easy to exploit and smel. It is reported that the iron on the moon is mainly iron oxide, which is enough to separate oxygen and iron; in addition, scientists have developed ways to use lunar soil and rock to make cement and glass. On the surface of the moon, the aluminum content is also very rich.

The lunar soil is also rich in helium 3. Helium fusion using deuterium and helium 3 can be used as the energy for nuclear power plants. This fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, and is an easy-to-control nuclear fusion. It can not only be used on ground nuclear power plants, but also is particularly suitable for space navigation.

It is reported that the content of helium 3 in lunar soil is estimated to be 715,000 tons. For every ton of helium 3 extracted from lunar soil, 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon can be obtained.

Judging from the current analysis, since the moon's helium 3 is large, it is undoubtedly a timely help for the earth that is relatively scarce in the future. Many space powers have made the acquisition of helium 3 one of the important goals for the development of the moon.

In the last century, the United States carried out many lunar landings in succession during the craziest Cold War, six of which were successful, bringing back many precious first-hand mineral specimens of the moon. It was also the first time in human history that when the US president exchanged gifts with other countries, he shamelessly used the small stones of the moon as gifts!

With such a valuable mineral resource-rich and very close distance, Qingquan Technology, which wants to further develop into space, naturally cannot miss it. Although it has not yet landed on the moon, this does not mean that Qingquan Technology does not have such technology, but it has not yet reached this step.

However, it was necessary to launch some detectors in advance. Firstly, master first-hand lunar data, which is very useful for future lunar landing activities, establishing lunar bases, and mining lunar resources.

The huge Qingquan Space Station has been further expanded at this time. There are hundreds of people traveling to and from the space station and the ground every day, and the space station always maintains dozens of people.

Now there are not only astronauts, but also many scientific researchers who stay in the space station. Liu Qingquan also left the earth for the first time and came to space.

"It's so beautiful!" Liu Qingquan watched the beautiful scenery outside through the glass on the space station. The huge blue earth is the most precious resource in this universe.

In the dark starry sky, the starlight travels through a distance and is reflected into the field of vision; when you look at the direction of the moon, it is even more huge and bright, like the purest virgin, waiting for the development of Qingquan Technology; in a more distant place, the master of the solar system, the fireball with the largest mass and emitting endless heat is still burning quietly. It has been 4.5 billion years, and it will continue to burn like this for 5.5 billion years, until it finally collapses internally because of insufficient mass, turning into a red giant and a white dwarf...

"Boss, the Jade Rabbit detector is ready and can be launched at any time!" Jiang Zhipeng and Mo Qingming accompanied Liu Qingquan to space.

"Well, follow the plan!" Liu Qingquan came to his senses and nodded.

The so-called "Little Jade Rabbit" is the code name given to Qingquan Technology for the first batch of lunar probes. The fairy lives on the moon. The fairy is too lonely. I will give her a little rabbit!

An unmanned spacecraft slowly left Qingquan Space Station. The speed was very slow when it just left. Of course, compared with the space station, it began to slowly accelerate after identifying the direction. The plasma engine using the latest technology can slowly accelerate its speed to more than Mach 100.

The average distance between the moon and the earth is about 384,000 kilometers. It only takes less than 6 hours for the "Little Jade Rabbit" to reach the moon, and half of the five hours are used to accelerate and decelerate. At a speed of Mach 100, it only takes more than 3 hours to reach the moon!

"Xiaoyu Rabbit" carries more advanced quantum communication technology, which can transmit its real-time situation in real time, making it easier for the space station to control and guide it.

After 6 hours of boredom, "Little Jade Rabbit" was about to arrive on the moon. At this time, the moon's gravity had already exceeded the earth's gravity. In the Qingquan Space Station, pictures of the moon rabbit being teleported from it in real time were constantly playing on the picture of the control center.

"Little Jade Rabbit" has already started to slow down. By the time it reaches the attachment of the moon, its speed has been reduced to the point where it can be captured by the moon's gravity. Otherwise, it would have approached the moon at a speed of Mach 100, and it would definitely fly over in an instant, and there would be no way to be captured by the moon's gravity to form a satellite.

After being captured by gravity, Yutu first flew around the moon several times, collecting and collecting the most basic information on the moon's ground, and watching the moon at close range. The moon is no longer the mysterious color in mythology, nor is it as pure and bright as it looks from the earth and space stations.

In the picture sent back by the Yutu, the moon is dull and the surface is bumpy. The huge craters formed by meteorites seem to be the most ugly scars. At this time, the moon's pictures are completely different from what everyone has ever seen since ancient times.

"This storm ocean moon sea must have been formed by an impact of a super-large meteorite. Look at its huge area of ​​5 million square kilometers, it is as big as 9 Frances. It is estimated that the equivalent of the explosion is at least one million times that of Hiroshima nuclear explosion!" Jiang Zhipeng said, pointing to the largest moon sea on the surface of the moon.

"Some people say that life on Earth can continue to this day. A large part of it is because the moon helps the earth block many huge meteorites from the universe. The moon is equivalent to a shield on the outer edge of the earth, blocking meteorites from the universe. Otherwise, the world-destroying collision in the dinosaur era would have to go through at least a few more times!"

Mo Qingming, who was standing beside him, sighed at the huge moon sea, and said that in fact, the moon sea is said to be the moon sea, but it is actually a very huge plain basin. Because the impact was too old, many traces have been touched.

"The moon is not just a shield, it is also the best gift God has given to mankind. Let's take a look at the detection results from the resource probe!" Yang Tianya said loudly. As an astronomical physicist, he is more concerned about the resource situation of the moon.

The so-called resource detector refers to the use of loaded multi-spectral remote sensing equipment to obtain information about electromagnetic waves of multiple bands of radiation or reflections of ground objects, and then sending this information back to the control center.

Since each object has different reflections in different spectral bands, after receiving the satellite signal, the control center processes and interprets the information based on the spectral characteristics of various substances it has mastered, thereby obtaining detailed information such as the characteristics, distribution and status of various resources. People can avoid the hard work of running around and field surveying.

Everyone looked at the computer screen that Yang Tianya pointed at, and the spectral information in the screen had been replaced with branch diagrams of various mineral deposits.

"The moon is really a huge treasure house, with extremely rich mineral resources and very conducive to mining. It is a gift from God!" (To be continued.)
