Chapter 1131

Yan xinjue thought that after seeing the Moon Palace, there would be nothing more surprising for him. All the amazing things had been seen all the way.

However, when Ma Hao, a staff member of the scientific research station, drove the lunar rover and brought him to the vicinity of the lunar surface research base, his eyes were once again deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

On the vast flat land, there are all kinds of silver "giant eggs", which are inlaid on the surface of cratered lunar soil. The white six grid shell is full of bright white light. The area of a single giant egg is not small. Its diameter is about ten meters. Its center height is about two or three people high. It looks like a science fiction version of a yurt from the outside.

“…… Is this the scientific research station? "

"Here?" Looking at Yan xinjue's eyes, Ma Hao, who is driving, laughs, "of course not here. There is no place like this That's our garden. "

Yan xinjue is slightly stunned.

"Vegetable garden?"

"The academic point is called" moon based soilless cultivation unit ". It is coated with special graphene semiconductor materials, which can resist the impact of lighter meteorites. While passing through part of the light source, it can also absorb and convert the excess light energy into electric energy, and supply energy for the light supplement lamp in the cultivation unit."

The temperature difference between day and night on the moon is large, the temperature in the day is as high as 127 ℃, the temperature at night can be as low as - 183 ℃, and the cycle of day and night rotation is as long as 27.32 days, so the planting environment is very harsh. Because there is no atmosphere on the moon, and the heat capacity and thermal conductivity of lunar materials are very low, how to lock the light energy in the sunshine period has become one of the difficulties to solve the problem of lunar planting.

According to the technology of biosphere a, the moonbased soilless cultivation unit designed by Jinling Institute of higher learning has solved this problem to some extent.

Although the production is limited, the cost is still much lower than that of transporting supplies from the earth. And there is still room for further improvement. Biologists on the moon are developing a variety of potatoes that can quickly accumulate starch in low gravity and high light environment. It is said that some progress has been made, but he doesn't know very well about the specific situation.

“…… It's a little too hard to be self-sufficient now, but it's just a small amount of fresh food besides compressed food and liquid food. "

"In addition to being used as food, these crops can also recycle astronauts' feces and consume part of the carbon dioxide in scientific research bases, which is a supplement to the organic matter and air circulation system. Of course, the current cycle efficiency is not so high. It still needs to transport supplies and excreta from the earth. "

Yan xinjue: "where is the water? Does it take a lot of water to grow the land? "

"Moon ice," Ma Hao said with a smile on his face, "fortunately, we found something more precious than helium three five meters below our feet. At that time, we also published a special paper on this matter, which caused quite a stir in astronomy and geology. At present, the proved reserves are about 20 million tons, saving enough for us to use in the next century. There's a bigger mine in the South Pole. It's said that it's over 100 million Of course, don't tell others that exploration is only half done, and we're not sure if there are so many. "

20 million tons

Yan xinjue opened his mouth for a long time before he choked out a word.

"Unbelievable Why haven't I ever seen relevant reports on the news? "

"Western media are not interested in reporting, and we are not interested in publicity until we have achieved phased results..." Ma Hao raised his head, pointed to the crater in front with his chin, smiled and said, "look, the front is our base. It's already there."

Looking out of the window, Yan xinjue finally saw the real face of Lushan, the mysterious lunar research base.

It's a building embedded in the cracks in the rock mass of the crater. A tall and steep wall falls vertically on the ground, extending a gentle silver white slope from the door. In order to avoid falling rocks as much as possible, the main part of the building is buried in the mountains as much as possible. In addition to that wall, the only exposed part was a signal tower that grew toward the sky.

But even if you can only see the tip of its iceberg, the scene is amazing enough.

If the Moon Palace hovering in the sky is like a silver dragon, the diamond inlaid in the crater is like a silver Castle guarded by the dragon.

It's like a spectacle.

It marks the highest architectural technology of the whole human civilization and the crystallization of space technology!

The lunar rover slowly drove up the ramp and went through two air locks. When the incandescent light in the garage fell on his head, Yan xinjue felt as if he had been awakened suddenly.

Next to them, a ground crew member in casual clothes who had been waiting for him came up to clean up the moon dust outside the car with professional equipment and opened the door for them.

Unbuckled the lock of the helmet, breathed a breath of air in the base, Ma Hao put his hand on the steering wheel and smiled at Yan xinjue, who was at a loss."You don't need to wear spacesuits in the base. Just be casual. I'll pick up someone else later My assistant will take you to your room. "

The idea of sending Chinese physicists to the moon was put forward by the Chinese physics community. Although the budget was increased by several hundred thousand yuan, it was still within the acceptable range. On the petition, I saw the name of his former mentor, academician Lu, and the ship approved it.

Later, physicists from other countries and engineers in the field of high-energy physics will successively land on the surface of the moon in the landing module. As the leader of the ground service team of this scientific research station, Ma Hao's duty is to connect these scholars from the earth to this fortress in batches.

Yan xinjue nodded and said sincerely.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," Ma Hao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile. "We are compatriots on the earth, and we are a family here."

Just set foot on the land far away from home, Yan xinjue can't understand the deep meaning of this sentence, just as it's a close comfort.

Responding to the friendly smile of the team leader, Yan xinjue, who got out of the car, left the spacesuit in the cabinet beside him and followed the assistant's steps towards the interior of the base.

If the landscape outside has been shocked enough, everything in the base is even more different.

There are twenty-one floors in total, including residential area, work area, laboratory and even library and gymnasium simulating gravity environment. Each floor has its unique function, just like a five-star hotel integrating work and leisure.

The only drawback may be that the private space is a little smaller.

Although it's not beishangguang, the construction cost per square meter is said to have surpassed Wudaokou, the cosmos center, and the "property fee" is not in one dimension. Under such circumstances, they can still be guaranteed a 10 square meter dwelling space, which can even be called luxury.

Came to an aluminum alloy door with the number on it. The ground crew handed a card to Yan xinjue and said with a smile.

"This is your dormitory. This card is an access card, and it's also an identity card, which corresponds to your permission in this scientific research station."

"Your permission corresponds to the physical experimentation area, accommodation area and public service area, and the corresponding floor number is printed on the card. If you need to use a vehicle or leave the base, you need to apply to the base supervisor for additional information. "

"I hope you can take this card with you and keep it properly, including eating and bathing. If you lose it, it will be very troublesome."

After taking the card, Yan xinjue nodded solemnly.

"I see."

"If you need anything, you can call me through the terminal in the room, or you can tell the captain directly." Politely, the staff member turned to the direction of the elevator after explaining the precautions.

When he arrived at his new home, Yan xinjue put the suitcase on the shelf and then leaned against the soft bed.

It's amazing to sleep in a one sixth gravity environment. The bed on the back seems to lift him up with a peculiar buoyancy. However, although this feeling is strange, he has spent a week in the weightless environment. He should have been used to it for a long time.

"Tomorrow is December 18th..."

It was a great day.

On that day, the first power on test run of the LHC will be completed.

From then on, the field of physics will move into the future.

And that will be the most glorious moment of his life.

As a representative of Chinese Physics, he will use "flint", which is the highest technology of human civilization, to light up the future in this cold universe.

Looking at the blue planet outside the window of the eye side, with the complex feelings and expectations for tomorrow that are 360000 kilometers away from his hometown, he slowly closed his eyes on the bed.

As an ordinary research dog, he never thought he had such a day. Even before that day, the most worthy boast of all his achievements was just driving for a big guy several times.

Now in retrospect, it's really impressive

In front of the great ship of the times, the fate of individuals is so unpredictable and uncertain. When Lu Zhou called and told him to say "it's up to you," he couldn't describe his surprise, and didn't even know what was going on.

It wasn't until he stood here that he really began to feel the sense of mission.

"When we get back to the earth, we have to find an opportunity to invite younger martial brother Lu for a drink..."

Thank you. I have to say it face to face.

I heard the applause from 360000 kilometers away.

I heard the expectations and cheers of people all over the world.His right fist was gently pinched and loosened. With such a sense of mission as wearing it and the ambition to make some achievements in physics in the future, he soon fell asleep.

This night, he slept soundly and sweetly.
