Vol 3 Chapter 260 underground base

However, this did not affect the Moon Palace Base’s pace of developing territory on the moon.

Because not only them, but China and the United States are also desperately expanding their territories.

The United States has long had the ability to land on the moon, but just as Yang Qing knew when he landed, the surface of the moon is full of all kinds of radiation, and there is hardly a stone without radiation.

This makes the construction of bases based on local materials bring great risks. After all, even with the current technology, it is difficult to simply separate a large number of radioactive isotopes.

As for the earth-moon transfer orbit from the blue star to the moon, even the largest carrier rocket in the United States currently has a carrying capacity of no more than 20 tons, and is limited by the shape of the rocket, most of which are cylindrical.

The cylindrical shape has obvious advantages in the sky without gravity, but on the moon, this form wastes a lot of space.

If in the past, when the United States was rich enough or paid enough attention, this kind of waste was nothing, but at this time, when the manufacturing industry in the United States is declining, this kind of waste has become very deadly.

So until now, it has only occupied two positions, one on the front and the other on the back of the moon, both near the equator.

Although at the two poles of the moon, where there is perennial darkness and no sunlight, water ice has been found, which can be used to supplement the scarce water resources of the base, but almost no sunshine is the biggest obstacle for energy collection. Especially for forces without small controlled nuclear fusion.

Even for the Moon Palace base, solar panels are an important supplement of energy.

Therefore, occupying the equatorial belt around the moon, this place that can obtain the maximum amount of solar energy, has become a must for all countries on the blue star.

After all, the solar panels they use are already the most advanced models, but the efficiency will not exceed 27% even in a vacuum.

If the quality is not enough, it can only be made up by quantity.

Therefore, the larger the occupied area, the more panels can be placed, and the more electricity can be obtained.

Instead, it’s battery storage, without much trouble.

Alien bases, space travel, so far, are still the most popular and cutting-edge technology on Blue Star.

Of course it’s the one that spends the most money.

With sufficient financial support, those power storage devices that can only lie in the laboratory due to the high cost have finally come in handy.

Because of Yang Qing’s aura, he didn’t put much effort into developing the electric energy storage on the blue star.

China and the United States are different.

For the moon base, the United States took out a graphene supercapacitor, which can basically store it for 12 hours, and the power loss is about 10%, but the occupied area is 50% smaller than that of ordinary lithium batteries.

This is the best choice for the US space station, which has a somewhat cramped space.

Huaguo has the innate advantages of the Moon Palace Base and the Luna II, so in addition to building a base near the Moon Palace Base and enjoying the material supply of the Moon Palace, it also occupies four bases outside, one of which has become an international public domain. Those countries that are relatively close to Huaguo can conduct some scientific research here.

Gu Yu and Huaguo’s base, their technology is slightly inferior, and they are unwilling to directly use Yang Qing’s solution, so they use the latest lithium battery technology.

However, Huaguo’s base was transported up using Yang Qing’s Luna II, and it covers a fairly large area, so you don’t need to care about this little difference in size. The only thing you need to care about is that the lithium battery is likely to catch fire. Frequent self-inspections are required, which is not a problem for Huaguo, which has advanced servers and rudimentary artificial intelligence in the base. The lack of oxygen in the storage environment also makes them lose the opportunity to burn.

In addition, the relatively poor Big Bear originally had some ambitious ambitions, but after all, he could not withstand the worsening domestic economy. He could only be reduced to being crowded with other countries in the space station of Huaguo. Far from it.

The Moon Palace base is more presumptuous. Under Xiao Ai’s control, large and small bases have spread all over the surface of the moon, including the coldest north and south poles of the moon.

This also includes five defense systems dominated by super electromagnetic guns and large lasers as auxiliary weapons.

With the improved electromagnetic guns in these years, the mass of the projectile has jumped from one kilogram to one hundred kilograms, and the speed that can be increased has increased from one-thousandth of the speed of light to one-hundredth of the speed of light.

The price in exchange is that the acceleration trajectory of the electromagnetic gun has soared from 30 kilometers to a length of 100 kilometers, and even the shells can only be endured by spiritualized materials.

Although such an electromagnetic gun has a narrow attack angle, it is powerful enough to smash an asteroid with a diameter of one or two kilometers in one blow.

After all, there are a total of five such electromagnetic guns, which completely cover most of the airspace between the blue star and the moon, which can be regarded as fulfilling the obligation of the Moon Palace Base to protect the blue star.

It’s just that the other bases are quite different from the Moon Palace Base.

It started with Xiaomei’s continuous mining. After digging to a depth of 50 meters on those veins, it discovered that the ore below was almost the same as the ore on the blue star.

That is to say, the formation after fifty meters has already got rid of most of the influence of cosmic rays.

And in the past three years, under Xiao Ai’s monitoring, no moonquakes greater than magnitude 4 have been found on the moon~www.readmtl.com~, and moonquakes of magnitude 3 or so often occur.

After all, the moon is a cooling planet, and there is no tide formed by liquid on it, which can change the tension on the surface of the entire planet. If the lunar crust plate does not collide or move, naturally there is no basis for the existence of large-scale moonquakes.

This provides impetus for the development of underground bases on the moon.

Compared with buildings built on the surface of the moon, hiding inside the moon can not only effectively avoid the harm brought by the solar wind, but also save too many building materials.

It’s just that Yang Qing didn’t choose ready-made mountain caves, or dig down cracks, but directly occupied several small craters.

Meteor craters are probably the most indispensable thing on the lunar surface.

The moon that has accompanied Blue Star for billions of years has finally blocked too much damage with its fat body. Among them, the largest crater in the Aiken Basin covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers and has a depth of 12 kilometers. .

But it’s so big that it’s hard to put a cover on it.

But if one day, if there is a chance, a super moon city can be built in it.

Yang Qing chose those craters with a diameter of about several hundred meters and a depth of several hundred meters. They are also convenient to build. Dozens of meters.
