Vol 3 Chapter 218 metal refining furnace

Although the two major powers are at the fastest speed, at the cost of consuming the life of the satellites orbiting the moon, they let the satellites pass by the places that attract attention.

It is about aliens, no matter where the aliens come from, it is a huge crisis for Blue Star.

According to human observations, the nearest neighboring galaxy near the blue star is also 4.2 light-years away, and there are almost no signs of advanced intelligent life activities there.

However, there are hundreds of billions of stars in the entire Milky Way galaxy. The galactic center where all kinds of harmful rays are frequently erupted, and it is almost difficult to give birth to intelligent life. There are four main spiral arms around it, including the Orion spiral arm where the blue star is located. , there are at least tens of billions of stars on it, and the probability of birth of life is greatly increased.

Not to mention that there are countless extrasolar galaxies, the universe is too big, even if the probability is one in a billion, then the probability of birth of advanced intelligent life is equal to 100%, and many of them will reach the level of civilization in the universe Yes, of course it was no accident.

Such a cosmic civilization can casually cross a journey measured in light years and reach the solar system. Such technological capabilities, no matter from which aspect, will be a kind of crushing for Blue Star.

Anyway, it will never happen, the scene in a certain Laiwu movie, the spaceship capable of interstellar travel, will be killed by Hollywood heroes, this is not the Avengers, just an ordinary blue star.

In fact, the Blue Stars have always had a very complicated attitude toward aliens. On the one hand, they are actively seeking contact. The Voyager spacecraft launched by the United States in the last century carried precious information about human civilization. Unremittingly monitoring the information transmitted from the universe is also looking for traces of aliens.

On the other hand, skepticism based on the dark forest theory has become popular in recent years.

This is also the reason why even if the matter cannot be confirmed, it has caused a big wave of hype all over the world.

But the timing was unlucky, and now it was the dark night of the moon. That place was completely in darkness, and it was difficult for optical instruments to distinguish it.

Of course, as a scientific investigation satellite, the equipment on it is naturally more than optical photography, infrared remote sensing, spectral analysis, etc. A large amount of data is transmitted to Bluestar’s supercomputer through the bridge between the earth and the moon.

However, the means of rune technology are still beyond what Blue Star can imagine at present. The conclusion they draw is that there is no change at all.

Perhaps at a certain stage, the technological route taken by Blue Star will achieve the same goal as the runes from the wild, but so far, before human beings have evolved, the runes have always been much higher.

Not finding out, obviously made Lanxing feel relieved. After all, no one hoped that an uncontrollable guy with a level of civilization far superior to Lanxing would appear on his head.

Specifically, it is as if the country of Hua was still in a feudal society and the era of imperial rule, and it was the same as treating those foreign devils who used cannons to force open the country’s gates.

This place is on the front side of the moon and is directly under the line of sight. Even in the dark night of the moon, there are various ways to directly observe it. Therefore, this kind of satellite observation can already confirm that there is no problem there. It should be during astronomical observation. Will encounter, the influence of the moon itself on the light.

Regardless of whether this explanation makes sense or not, it really calmed down most of the skeptical voices on the Internet on Blue Star.

Although on Blue Star, the governments of various countries often have some unreliable things happen, but in general, the reputation has always been good. Everyone still believes most of their explanations. Of course, most of this is mainly due to Mainly Chinese.

Foreigners have always been less interested in the government, so there are more noisy voices on the Internet. Anyway, with the efforts of the whole world, the zero-dollar purchases in the United States have risen again because of the wildly rumored aliens preparing to rule Bluestar. The activity finally subsided temporarily.

In this darkness, the expansion of the base did not stop.

The land of 10,000 square kilometers is actually big enough. Super cities like Beijing and Shanghai are not so big, especially since there are no buildings here, so you can draw them at will.

The first thing built in the base was a metal refining furnace.

In fact, it can no longer be called a metal refining furnace, it should be called a gasification and refining furnace of simple elements.

Its principle is very simple, it is a vacuum furnace, the minerals to be refined are placed in the middle, and then the temperature is raised, and the temperature is continuously raised until the minerals inside decompose, release gases such as oxygen, and become various simple substances.

Then, just like fractionating petroleum, according to the different boiling points of each substance, extremely pure elemental elements are collected.

In the environment of the moon, under the condition of vacuum, processed minerals can even collect simple elements with a purity of more than sixteen nines.

Because under the existing conditions, it is basically impossible to obtain a completely pure elemental substance, such a mixture of more than sixteen nines can be basically regarded as a pure substance.

This simple element gasification and refining furnace is mainly based on the extraction of metal elements. After all, the plasticity, strength, and weather resistance of metals are much stronger than those of non-metallic elements. The future lunar buildings will mainly be steel structures. , Here, concrete buildings cannot be built, and the vacuum environment is the enemy of concrete.

Although pure steel or other metal elements are not suitable as building materials, alloys with precise proportions~www.readmtl.com~ can show the expected performance of materials to the maximum extent.

Especially pure iron, after forming an alloy with a certain percentage of titanium, it becomes as fragile as glass at extremely low temperature, but it disappears. This new material basically combines the properties of iron and titanium. The price is cheap and the strength is good. It is the first choice for erecting buildings on the moon.

Although titanium deposits have been discovered within the scope of the base, as a rare metal, its reserves are far from that high, and more of them are lean ores. The storage of iron, whether it is the blue star or the moon, or even the future There are too many of them on the asteroids.

Moreover, Yang Qing needs to set aside enough titanium to build more spaceships. As a metal, its performance is more suitable for aircraft than steel.

With the completion of the metal refining furnace, the base finally has the first batch of metals from the moon.

This also allowed the base’s long-stalled robot production to resume, and it was officially included in the plan to develop the moon.

It is almost impossible to calculate the manpower and material resources needed to develop a satellite with an area close to a continent.
