Vol 3 Chapter 195 start

The latest website: Lunar soil may seem troublesome, but it is a real good thing. Not only the crucial helium-3 exists in the lunar soil, but also billions of tons of iron and more aluminum and titanium. minerals exist.

The extraction of helium-3 is relatively simple, because it is brought over by the solar wind and left in the lunar soil after billions of years of continuous invasion.

Since helium is an inert gas and will not chemically react with any substance, it can still exist on the near-vacuum lunar surface for only one reason, which is adsorption, and it is adsorbed by certain substances in the lunar soil.

In this way, helium-3 can be separated from the lunar soil only by simple heating.

Although according to the calculations of Blue Star experts, there are millions of tons of helium-3 in the lunar soil, the moon is really too big.

The diameter of the moon is one quarter of the blue star, and one sixteenth of the surface area, but because the moon does not have oceans, its surface area should be one quarter of the land area of ​​the blue star.

It seems that this number is not large, but it is only a little smaller than the Asian continent and a little bigger than Africa, so you know how vast this area is.

However, these have nothing to do with Yang Qing for the time being. In fact, he does not have high requirements for fusion materials such as Helium III. Deuterium-tritium fusion is also acceptable, and deuterium-deuterium fusion is also acceptable. In fact, if the requirements for hydrogen fusion are not too high, Yang Qing will plan to Go directly to hydrogen fusion. After all, in this universe, the number of hydrogen elements is the largest.

In the sun, although the temperature of 16 million degrees can be said to be very low, the pressure inside it is extremely high, and only this kind of pressure can make the hydrogen or protium, which has the largest stock on the star, An isotope of hydrogen that fuses four hydrogen atoms into helium and is also the source of the sun’s energy.

The high temperature of 16 million degrees has been easily reached by Blue Star, and they have even raised this temperature to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of degrees.

But realizing the pressure inside the sun is a big problem. Yang Qing and Xiao Ai once calculated that to realize such pressure, they need to build a talisman with a volume slightly smaller than the moon.

Only such a pressure matrix can provide the pressure to realize hydrogen-hydrogen fusion.

Such a large-scale construction of the talisman array is difficult for Yang Qing and Xiao Ai, who have not yet had time to land on the moon, at least for now.

Of course, this is because the material they used to describe the rune array is too common. If there are various materials from the prehistoric world, they can also shrink the rune array to a diameter of about a hundred kilometers.

So hydrogen-hydrogen fusion, after all, is a large-scale equipment, or the configuration of a behemoth like a base spacecraft.

Although the space in the universe is empty, the number of hydrogen atoms is the largest in it, so even without any gaseous planetary supplies, such a giant spaceship can sustain itself in the universe.

The engineering equipment that was put down fell into the thick dust on the surface of the moon, and the smoke and dust were scattered all over the place. The aroused dust even surpassed the entire spaceship. If it weren’t for the protective cover on the spaceship, it might be open. They immediately became disgraced.

But the dust rises quickly and falls quickly.

It’s not that there is no atmosphere on the surface of the moon, but the gas pressure is smaller than the vacuum created by humans on the blue star, and it can’t act as a hindrance at all. Under the influence of gravity, the dust falls back to the moon’s surface almost at the same time. little residue.

At this time, the second batch of construction machinery was hoisted again and put into the bottom. So far, all the construction machinery has been put down.

Although they are made to look like construction machinery, they are actually the templates of standard robots inside, completely under Xiao Ai’s control.

Naturally, these engineering equipment have also been greatly modified, otherwise it would be difficult for them to run on the surface of the moon.

The action is still crawler, this highly adaptable chassis, those hydraulic equipment that are not suitable for the vacuum and cold environment have long been abandoned, and replaced with the artificial muscle that Yang Qing first studied, which can be driven by electric current .

Of course, construction machinery has simple movements and a large reserved area, and the artificial muscles inside are much larger than those in ordinary robots.

Thick artificial muscles bring them surging power. Take an excavator as an example. Its bucket is still a one-ton type, but it is equipped with high-strength tooth tips, which can easily dig out most of the stones. .

After being placed on the ground, they didn’t stop at all, and immediately started working quietly.

At the bottom of the spacecraft, several lights were turned on. Although there is no air on the moon, the light cannot be scattered at all, and it directly cuts through the void. Here, unless it is splashed dust, light and darkness are absolutely There are two distinct types, even if there is only one step away, the existence of the light source can only be seen by standing on the ground.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai had anticipated this situation a long time ago. The light source she designed was originally diffuse, and instantly illuminated a large area of ​​land, but there was absolutely no light to be seen in the gap between the spaceship and the ground.

“Yang Qing, if we shine so brightly, will people on Blue Star find us?”

Zhao Yuxi, who had been observing the moon, couldn’t help pulling Yang Qing’s arm and asked.

“Of course not! Look here, it’s the lunar satellite we launched before. The optical photos sent by us can be seen, and there is no difference from before we landed.”

Although by this time, Yang Qing no longer needed to worry about exposing himself, but before the base was deployed, he didn’t need to put himself out on purpose.

Zhao Yuxi glanced at the pictures that were almost the same as those he had collected, and also specifically looked at the landing location that Yang Qing mentioned to him, but he only saw a gloomy lunar surface without any trace of human existence.

“This is a masking rune, which can block the appearance within a range of one hundred kilometers ~www.readmtl.com~ You will be able to learn the runes soon, and you will understand the value of the runes.”

Yang Qing explained to her.

While the two were talking, Xiao Ai had already commanded the construction machinery below and started a large-scale cleaning work.

The first one to play was a large bulldozer, which pressed the bulldozer down hard, until the 60cm-high bulldozer was half gone, and then it struggled to drive the track and push it up.

The upper lunar soil is extremely loose, and the bulldozers push the lunar soil like a stream of water, and a long piece of soil is pushed towards the distance.

The excavator here has also started working, although its own weight has caused half of its tracks to sink into the surface soil, making it almost impossible to move.

But it started to swing the hook-like bucket and began to dig up the lunar soil.

At the very beginning, when it was shoveled down, half of it was fine dust, and it flowed out naturally before it was lifted into the air.
