Chapter 618 Surprise
The best way to refine AG metal is on the moon, but Xinghai Group does not yet have this condition.
Crushing stone requires large-scale crushing machinery, requires energy, and requires a specific workshop.
Mu Yang issued an order to increase the development of the moon. Originally he only planned to build another aerospace plane, but now Mu Yang plans to build another one.
At the same time, efforts are being made to develop intelligent mining robots, handling robots and other intelligent robots.
five days later,
B reported to Mu Yang that the stones brought back from the moon had been crushed, and 20 units of AG metal were finally smelted.
Each unit of AG metal has a volume of approximately 1 cubic centimeter, which can affect the gravity of 1 cubic meter of space.
The range of influence of AG metal of different sizes is different. For example, if the length is 2 cm, the width is 1 cm, and the height is 5 cm, then the gravity space it affects is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 5 meters high.
This rule is the conclusion reached by the Institute of Materials Research these days, and it is of very important significance.
For example, Kongtian-1 is 90 meters long, has a wing width of more than 60 meters, and is more than ten meters high. The body volume is about 20,000 cubic meters. If the entire space is laid out, 20,000 units of AG metal will be needed, which is too much.
But if used well, it is estimated that 1,000 units of AG metal are enough to deploy. From a fully loaded aerospace aircraft of hundreds of tons to only two or three tons, fuel can be greatly saved, and the engine does not need so much power.
Carrying AG ore has no weight and can be transported as long as the aerospace plane can fit it in.
According to theory, about 2,000 cubic meters of AG ore can be brought back from the moon for the third time, and it is estimated that thousands of units of AG metal can be extracted. The cost consumed is only fuel cost and maintenance cost.
Based on its magical effect, the price per unit is impossible to estimate. If it were to be sold, if each unit exceeded one billion, rich people would rush to buy it.
Of course, it is impossible for Muyang to sell this kind of material for money. Only by monopolizing it can it be "magical".
If it loses its monopoly and can be mined by other countries, its price will definitely drop instantly.
At present, the AG metal extracted by Xinghai Group will first be applied to aerospace aircraft and rockets, such as placing AG metal in fuel tanks or high-density metal fuselage positions to reduce weight.
In the past few days, the underground river has been explored by the Xinghai Group, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers, the narrowest point is only a dozen meters, and the widest can reach more than 300 meters.
The proven storage capacity of AG ore is estimated to be 50,000 cubic meters. It is unknown whether this AG metal still exists under the glacier or within the walls of caves.
In addition to AG metal, water resources are the most important resource for Xinghai Group. From now on, Xinghai Group no longer has to transport water resources from the earth.
The highest temperature in the underground river is only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature is minus 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature may continue to drop in the next ten days or so.
Muyang plans to build a base near this underground river and capture water resources from the underground river. As long as this water resource is used rationally, it will be enough for tens of thousands of people to use it for a long time.
In short, the underground river opened a new world for Mu Yang.
With only a few days until the sun rises, the 3D insulation layer of the base module was finally completed on July 1, Earth Day, and the excavation of the underground base began at a depth of thirty meters underground.
By this day, the lowest temperature on the lunar surface of Xingyue Base had reached minus 70 degrees. The scientific researchers no longer conducted exploration work on the lunar surface and began to convert to an underground base and develop underground rivers.
On Earth Day, July 3, the lowest temperature on the lunar surface at Xingyue Base reached minus 5 degrees.
When BJ time was two o'clock in the afternoon, the first ray of the sun finally shone on the Xingyue Base.
The sun has risen!
The temperature on the moon's surface at Xingyue Base rose instantly.
There is no ozone layer on the moon to filter the sun's ultraviolet rays. If scientific researchers do not wear protective clothing and are directly exposed to the sun, they will be extremely harmed.
Mu Yang requires scientific researchers to work in the sun as little as possible and to go out as little as possible.
Just two hours later, the temperature on the moon's surface has risen to 30 degrees Celsius, which melted instantly like a piece of ice cream.
In the next few hours, the lunar surface temperature is predicted to reach above 50 degrees Celsius.
"Damn, the sun's rays are so powerful, it feels like the moon's surface has been scorched." A researcher couldn't help complaining. He had just returned to the base from outside.
When you return to the base from outside, you must go through a radiation inspection.
Near the base, scientific researchers have built many solar panels.
Not long after he returned to the base, he heard from his colleagues that the solar power generation effect was very fast. There was no shortage of energy now, and all the equipment could work at high power.
"It's good this time. We wanted to save electricity before, but now there is no shortage of power and it will overflow." Another researcher laughed, "Actually, this is good."
"Don't be optimistic. If the temperature continues to rise, there will be troubles we don't expect."
According to the requirements of the control center, they still have some outdoor tasks to test after the sun comes out.
A few hours later, the lunar surface temperature near the base had reached 70 degrees Celsius, and the temperature rise was much slower.
At this time, the batteries on the Xingyue Base were fully charged, and the charging efficiency was faster than they expected.
When the sun shines on the lunar surface, there is also reverse radiation, and the lunar surface temperature is much higher than that outside the Halo Space Station cabin.
As long as there is no malfunction, the mining robots in the base will continue to work at full capacity 24 hours a day.
Half a month later,
The sun has set at Xingyue Base, and night has begun again.
Since the discovery of AG minerals, Xinghai Group has refined more than 5,000 units of AG metal so far, and has attached more than 1,000 units of AG metal to the Kongtian-1 fuselage.
Within a month, Kongtian-1 landed on the moon 6 times, an average of once every 5 days. Such frequency has puzzled the world: What is there on the moon that makes Xinghai Group so willing to spend money.
The number of staff at Xingyue Base has increased from 15 at the beginning to 30 currently, and the number of scientific researchers at Xingyue Base will continue to increase in the next month.
By this day, the Xingyue Base has provided the oxygen and water resources that scientific researchers breathe, but food still needs to be transported from the earth.
Mu Yang, who has been busy for a while, plans to take a break.
The weather in Jiangnan Province has been getting hotter and hotter recently, with the highest temperature reaching 40 degrees Celsius. He plans to take his family and children to Yun Province and his hometown to escape the heat for a while.
Although you are not afraid of the heat if you stay at home and turn on the air conditioner, it is not good for your health to keep the air conditioner on.
Mu Yang stopped his scientific research work and took this opportunity to spend more time with his children.
Before traveling, Mu Yang wore several pieces of AG metal.
He and his family took a flight back to his hometown first. The weather in his hometown is hot, but the maximum temperature is only 35 degrees Celsius, and there are many thunderstorms. There are dark clouds blocking the sun during the day. At least it is much better than the sky is always cloudless in Jiangnan Province.
.
As soon as the family walked out of the airport, Mu Yang's mother sighed: "It's better to live in my hometown. The weather is not that hot. I don't know why, but Jiangnan Province has been extremely hot in the past two years."
"The summers in recent years have been much hotter than in the past." Mu Yang's father also sighed.
Mu Yang's two children don't know how their grandparents spent their summers. They don't like going out in the summer because they are so hot that they sweat.
Although wearable air conditioners are produced in China, Muyang does not wear them for children, but rather lets them experience nature more.
The family got in the car and arrived at the highway intersection in their hometown in more than an hour.
There are still more than ten kilometers from the highway intersection to my hometown. The highway has changed from one-way single lane to three lanes. There are many subsidiaries of Xinghai Group in the industrial park, with a total area of more than 10,000 acres.
Mu Yang returned home secretly this time, and the cars that picked them up and dropped them off were all remodeled cars. From the outside, they looked no different from ordinary cars, and they were not uniform vehicles.
As a passer-by returning to his hometown, Mu Yang also saw some congratulatory messages about Xinghai Group on the roadside, such as "Congratulations to Xinghai Group for its successful moon landing!"
In addition to these, Mu Yang also saw many residential communities built in the park.
What used to be a remote town has become a science and technology park in Guicheng, and many citizens come here to buy houses.
The citizens of Guicheng feel that Muyang should increase the development of his hometown. Last year, the Guicheng branch of Xinghai Group had an output value of 100 to 200 billion yuan, driving the rapid development of the surrounding economy.
If Mu Yang said, "I plan to invest more in my hometown," I guarantee that the housing prices in my hometown will soon exceed those in the urban area.
It is so hard to find housing in smart cities these days. At the beginning of the year, the average price per unit exceeded 150,000 yuan.
After Xinghai Group successfully landed on the moon, it had no plans to expand smart cities. The average residential price in smart cities soared again, reaching 170,000 yuan.
Some foreigners are not qualified to buy housing in H City, but want to enjoy the convenience of a smart city, so they can only rent at a high price.
The next day, Mu Yang and his children went fishing in Nianqing Reservoir.
After staying in my hometown for three days, I left my hometown and planned to go to Yun Province to escape the summer heat for a week or two.
It has to be said that the weather in Yun Province is really good. The highest temperature in recent days has only been 28 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for outdoor play.
Two weeks later, Mu Yang and his family returned to H City.
It was still a bit hot in H City in early August, but the temperature was lower than when I left.
Global climate is warming, and Mu Yang also wants to change this situation, but there is really nothing he can do at the moment.
Mu Yang had just been back for a few days. At ten o'clock in the evening on August 5, he suddenly received a prompt from the reading system.
[Tip 1: The host completes ten square kilometers of desert greening and will be additionally rewarded with three types of desert green plant seeds and cultivation techniques (details)]
[Tip 2: After the host completes the greening of one hundred square kilometers of desert, it can activate agricultural planting technology, and additionally reward two kinds of desert economic green plant seeds and cultivation technology (details)]
[Tip 3: Reward the host with 10,000 achievement points]
After reading the prompt, Mu Yang was pleasantly surprised: "Holy shit, after waiting for so many years, I finally got something!"
Desert greening work has been underway for three years, and in 2018, 150 square kilometers had been planted.
In the past two years, Xinghai Group has started intelligent planting and has planted more than 20,000 square kilometers of desert green plants.
However, most desert green plants have not yet formed an ecosystem and still rely on artificial irrigation.
The "East-to-West Water Diversion" project was launched in early 2018 and is planned to be completed in five years. At present, more than half of the progress has been made, and some cities have already enjoyed the benefits of this project. avasdiv Scan the QR code to download Red Sleeves United Xiaoxiang to send benefits for free for new users for a limited time
