.

It was the 52nd day after Xiao Qiang and his team built the Moon Hut.

Wang Gong and his team finally completed the installation of a large-scale comprehensive water treatment equipment. This is a set of industrial purification equipment that can purify five tons of water per hour. It is 11.5 meters long and lies across the passage, like a giant dragon.

It took Xiao Qiang six days to reorganize the relevant parts, but it took him sixteen days to combine them.

In nearly two months, they have closed the channels on both sides, and three layers of airtight doors have been installed on each side. Now, as the closed channel of the base, it has been separated from the melting hole network and become an independent space.

What Xiao Qiang and his team are doing is to install this purification equipment at the entrance of the cave where ice is discovered. Later, they will drive industrial robots to take out the ice cubes in the cave and put them into the feed port of the water purification equipment. At the feed port, there is a crusher that breaks large pieces of ice into the size of a fist and sends it to the heating furnace.

The temperature of the heating furnace is as high as 300 degrees, and the ice cubes are melted quickly and are sent to the purification device before boiling and gasifying.

The water was processed by the purification equipment, output from the terminal pipe, passed through three sealing doors, and was sent into the closed channel. Xiao Qiang and others had already chosen the location.

The water storage place chosen by Xiao Qiang and others is the other two channels below the closed channel.

It is roughly estimated that these two channels can store about tens of thousands of tons of water. If it is recycled, even if tens of thousands of people come, it can ensure enough drinking water for daily needs.

Another thing Xiao Qiang and his friends have done these days is to transport a large amount of earth and moon soil to the passage and lay a thick foundation.

The automatic robot takes water from the outlet and sprays it onto the lunar soil to moisten it.

In less than two months, the passage had changed ditch greatly, becoming a wide and narrow canyon. It was covered with lunar soil about fifty centimeters thick, and walking on it was like a greenhouse base.

Several wide halls in the passage were even landfilled by a large amount of lunar soil and turned into a square of thousands of square meters.

After all this, except that there is no oxygen supply in the base, it is already very similar to a small farm on Earth.

Next, what Xiao Qiang and his team want to solve is energy supply.

Originally, solar energy was used to provide base electricity, and some electricity was used to electrolyze water, and a small equipment was used to make liquid hydrogen reserves for use during moonlit nights. This was the best.

However, Xiao Qiang's superpower is not omnipotent. Each solar panel is only one or two hundred microns thick, and it can be reorganized in one day, which is enough for the solar panels required for solar cell packs of dozens of square kilometers.

However, it is necessary to make a complete solar cell pack, as well as fiberglass covers, brackets, tracking devices, condenser lenses and other auxiliary devices. On the earth, these auxiliary equipment can be handed over to factories for production. However, on the moon, all of them need to be used by Xiao Qiang to reorganize, so it seems unscrupulous. All of these things are added together. Xiao Qiang can reorganize at most a dozen solar cell packs a day, and power is sent to the room they temporarily live in for lights. There is no problem using the light brain. It is necessary to supply the entire base, which is a drop in the bucket.

Hydropower, thermal power, and these common power generation devices on the earth are not suitable here.

The only solution is to use small nuclear reactors to provide power support to the base.

According to early detection, the lunar soil contains more than 700,000 tons of 3 grams, which is the best choice for refining one ton of 3 grams and 3 grams, July 1st.

Unfortunately, the controlled nuclear fusion power station is a major project. Although Universal has developed it for many years, it has not achieved practical results.

The world's controlled nuclear fusion project has been underway for a long time, but it has only blossomed but not bear fruit. The countries have agreed to cooperate to build a reactor, but it has not officially started. Moreover, the total expenditure of such an experimental reactor that cannot generate electricity has reached 400 billion US dollars, and it will take another ten years to complete and put into use.

If there is a product, even a laboratories cost a lot, he can reorganize it effortlessly.

There is not even a ready-made product. No matter how powerful Xiao Qiang's restructuring ability is, he can only stare at him.

Finally, he could only instruct the African base to build a mobile nuclear power plant, using radioactive isotope elements as the reaction material.

This wheel-driven nuclear power plant has a supply rate of only 100,000 kilowatts. The entire device is the size of a box truck, including the on-board system. However, in order to ensure radioactive hazards, it must be placed far away from the base. When replacing fuel in the future, you must also wear special protective clothing, which is really a very painful choice.

After discussion, they placed the mobile nuclear power plant in another melting hole dozens of kilometers away, and it was not connected to each other.

While Xiao Qiang and others were busy installing mobile nuclear power plants, Han Kun and others also worked hard to wiring the top of the base. All the six-kilometer-long cave roofs must be installed with strong lighting equipment.

These lights will be connected to a sunshine control system, and under its control, it simulates the changes in the sun's rise and fall, and lights up and goes out.

By the end of 2009, Earth time, they finally completed the preliminary construction of the base.

The base has also been filled with gases needed for human survival, imitating the earth's atmospheric environment, using 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases to mix.

At this point, Xiao Qiang and eight others were considered to have left the lifestyle of the hut in the cave and could move in a larger space.

The sunshine system automatically controls the lighting system to imitate different light intensities such as sunrise, noon, dusk, and night according to the earth's time, causing Xiao Qiang and others to return to normal.

They planted a large number of plant seeds in the various lands they opened up.

Some of these plants exhale oxygen-rich under photosynthesis, while others exhale other gases. At night, they absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide to ensure that this small biosphere can operate for a long time. This ratio has also been accurately simulated and calculated by supercomputers. Within ten years, there should be no large-scale component changes.

Of course, it is unrealistic to simulate the atmospheric environment of the entire earth in a small space.

Just like the Biosphere 1 and 2 project that year, I thought it could ensure that eight scientists could be self-sufficient. The enclosed space that survived for three years was actually only staying for more than a year. Because of the decline in oxygen content and the lack of adjustment in the climate, it caused a poor harvest and was forced to stop it.

Therefore, Xiao Qiang and others dare not guarantee that they imitated the biosphere plan and re-improve the atmospheric environment, which will be able to operate normally for ten years. But they have some reliance on it. If the air is too bad, they will readjust the air component content. Having a closed atmospheric circle can also accumulate relevant experience for future human space aerospace. Just think it is just a scientific experiment.

After all, sooner or later, people will have to fly in space in the future, so it is impossible to bring enough oxygen supply equipment. In the end, they will rely on organisms for atmospheric circulation.

Let's talk about that year

The Biosphere Plan is only tens of thousands of square meters, much smaller than their current location.

How many. It’s better than those scientists, it’s better to last longer.

In the future, they will gradually expand the scale of their base and strive to form an atmospheric circle that runs through all connected melting hole channels. It will create conditions for the group's researchers to move to the moon in the future.

But that's a story later, and it's still a few years before it can become a reality.

Previously, they moved from the front of the moon to the north and placed the signal receiving device. I don’t know if it was broken or the moon landing plan was cancelled, so they did not send someone’s radio signals to Xiao Qiang and the others.

In December, an Indian lunar probe hit the front of the moon, and the signal was then cut off.

Xiao Qiang and his team spent the New Year in 2009 in this place 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, drinking wine and eating delicious food in the Earth-Moon Base built at Chuchuchu. This is the first time since Xiao Qiang came to the moon that he has not used recombinant superpowers for work.

I miss my family more during the holidays, and at this time, everyone is a little out of control.

Xiao Qiang gave everyone three days off, and they worked hard all year round, and there was no one day off. The first time I celebrated the New Year on the moon, everyone could also adjust their mood after a few days of rest.

In May 2009, the first supercomputer system of the Moon Base was installed.

This system has been debugged on the earth long ago, and various equipment interfaces have been prepared for it. As the core of the base, it can control the base safety devices, life support systems, power systems, automation instruments, factories and other related system devices, and maintain the safety of the base's living environment under the control of personnel.

In August, a huge artificial device appeared on the top of the mountain now named Huanyu Mountain.

It has a tubular object that is thirty meters long and forty centimeters thick, pointing straight to the sky. Below is a two-story rotating device that can operate the pitch angle of the gun barrel.

That's right, this is a cannon and an electromagnetic cannon.

The gun barrel uses electromagnetic coils as a driving force, which can eject a solid iron ball with a diameter of ten centimeters. On this moon with small gravity and no air resistance, the iron ball can fly out at the third cosmic speed, break away from the shackles of the moon, and project into the vast universe. Therefore, its theoretical shooting distance can reach more than 100,000 kilometers.

However, such electromagnetic guns consume very amazing power.

Xiao Qiang specially equipped it with an independent nuclear power plant, which can only ensure the speed of launching every ten minutes.

Electromagnetic cannons are a mature weapon that humans have long developed, but they are put aside because of their expensive cost and unrealistic uses. However, in the universe, electromagnetic cannons have amazing power and effectiveness, and are most suitable for use as base protection.

Xiao Qiang's superpowers cannot see much advantage in the reorganization of ordinary items.

After all, he cannot do large-scale production, and compared to the output, compared to the factory assembly line and the production capacity of thousands of them, it is completely a slight witch.

However, in these expensive facilities, he has unparalleled advantages.

Although the electromagnetic gun reminds that although it is huge, it is not a solid body after all. After its volume is compressed, it is only a few dozen cubic meters. Those special parts that require various special manufacturing processes to produce are not more difficult than recombining a rock in front of Xiao Qiang's superpowers. Therefore, the cost problems of the various governments on Earth are not worth mentioning in his opinion.

The Universal Company, which he founded, combined large-scale manufacturing capabilities with his high-precision and complex equipment restructuring capabilities, has created an unparalleled great achievement in the history of human science and technology and business history.

Without Xiao Qiang. Universal Corporation has only a few thousand high-end scientists. At best, it is several times stronger than ordinary research institutions, and it reaches its peak. With Xiao Qiang's strong help, Universal Corporation has nearly 10,000 scientists in its African base in China and Africa, which can explode immeasurable energy and become a research and development center that transcends the times.

It is very important for Universal to stand at the peak of modern human science and technology. A large number of scientific talents are very important. But the most important thing is Xiao Qiang.

In November 2009, the second electromagnetic gun was installed.

In February 2010, the third electromagnetic gun was installed.

The three electromagnetic guns are all supplied with independent power supplies, connected to the base supercomputer through internal fiber optic cables. Through the three-in-one control means of manual control, line control and remote control, the electromagnetic gun is ensured to be firmly in its own hands and will not be compromised by hackers and seized control.

With these three electromagnetic cannons, the base no longer has to worry about being hit by meteorites from space or being attacked by hostile parties at a long-range basis.

As long as the number of meteorites is not too large, or the number of missiles launched by the enemy does not exceed a thousand, they will have the confidence to completely destroy the attack body before it falls on its head.

Since there are only eight people on the moon base now, manual operation cannot be performed for the time being. We can only wait for the earth to come and restore the control system mainly based on manual operation mode.

The melting hole at the location of the nuclear power plant has also been remodeled.

The gate made of lead is filled with lunar soil to isolate radiation. Five lead alloy doors completely seal the molten holes, and all mobile nuclear power plants are connected to the optical brain in the base center, monitoring the operation dynamics at any time and controlling them. More than a dozen high-intelligent industrial robots produced by the precision instrument research institute act as managers of the power station and can also be switched to remote control operations at any time.

In July 2010, thirty-eight medium-sized laser cannons were installed on the hilltop with a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

They can emit high-energy laser beams at a speed of five seconds. Since they are in a vacuum environment, their effective killing distance reaches more than 70 kilometers, and can deal with long-range and high-altitude targets and effectively protect the safety of the base.

They complement the ground defense of electromagnetic guns. Even if there are a few electromagnetic guns that do not have time to destroy the ground leakage, laser weapons can block them outside the base. The joint defense position of the electromagnetic gun and laser weapons form the ground, fully ensuring that the base can be safe and sound as expected.

Because the distance is too far, Xiao Qiang cannot reorganize enough fiber optic lines to connect the laser to the central computer. Therefore, this batch of lasers mainly uses password authentication and uses remote control operations. This can only be a short-term stopgap measure. When the earth's equipment arrives, it will inevitably be improved, including a dedicated signal transmission channel, which will be redesigned and arranged.

During the past two years of base life, there were still some problems with the biosphere. The changes in various gas compositions did not exactly increase or decrease as they expected. For this reason, they had to install some atmospheric detectors, which were detected by supercomputers and operated equipment for micro-regulation.

Large industrial air conditioners ensure temperature changes in the entire base, and the huge mountain makes the base hide in a thermal insulation body.

From the beginning of 2008 to July 2010, Xiao Qiang and his team spent a total of two years and six months. After hard work, they finally built a complete lunar base on the moon, integrating life, work and military purposes.

What is lacking now,

Manufacturing equipment.

This is something Xiao Qiang can't do.

A large automation factory is made into a ball, and its size is less than thousands of cubic meters. If it is all reorganized by Xiao Qiang, it will be impossible to complete it in a few years.

Moreover, a modern industrial system cannot be achieved by a factory.

From mining, smelting, processing, and later application and manufacturing, it is a complex industrial chain. Without any link, it is impossible to achieve circular operation.

Even if Xiao Qiang spent his whole life, he could not achieve the task of establishing a complete industrial chain.

This can only be transported from the earth.

Now this achievement is the limit he can achieve.

Xiao Qiang stood in the control center. In the past two years, he just built a base control center, a living area, and a scientific research center, all of which were built using compressive strength high-level alloys.

There are basically no daily necessities.

Xiao Qiang's superpowers, every cubic centimeter of use, must be carefully calculated. One more high-tech module will have more functions. How could he bear to use his precious superpowers to provide daily necessities?

Even the chair they sit on is a technician, who uses his spare time to make it homemade.

In contrast, the equipment of the control center is advanced and complete in functions. It is no less than that of the large command centers of any country on the earth. Some independently developed equipment at some African bases have clear characteristics beyond the times. Standing in the command center, people are like being in a future world, which is dazzling.

"Let's start. Prepare to establish a connection with the Earth base!" Xiao Qiang's hand was behind his back, his fingers crossed and twisted for a while, and shouted in a deep voice, and ordered.

Han Kun, Jiang Cheng and several other researchers took their place and operated the equipment in front of them.

The base is short of staff, so everyone has to use it as a few people. They have to be responsible for multiple aspects. Without the assistance of supercomputers, just rely on the eight of them. They don’t even want to play all the functions of this base.

They operated a remote-controlled lunar exploration vehicle and conducted a detection of all signal transmitters once. Several signal transponders were replaced by meteorites. There was no signal interference from the earth on the back of the moon, and the transmission distance of each transponder reached more than 300 kilometers. Even with the base as the center, the signal transponder was placed at the poles of the moon, but only more than 20 were used.

At the two poles, a high-intensity signal transmitting device is installed respectively.

Before Xiao Qiang decided to contact the African base on Earth, he had already checked a large number of signals from the Earth. By intercepting signals and embedded in the satellites of Universal Corporation, they could directly connect to the Universal Network from the moon. In the last few months, eight of them buried their heads on the Internet whenever they had time to learn about the latest information from the Earth.

The long-term loneliness of staying away from society makes them extremely eager to communicate with others.

However, the control of the base is controlled by Xiao Qiang. He used the highest management authority for supercomputer ground to limit the possibility of sending signal ground from the lunar base to the earth. Base members can connect to the Universal Network and can check the latest land information, but cannot send out a byte of data.

"African base, African base, this is Guanghan Palace, repeat, this is Guanghan Palace, now request to establish a signal connection!"

The frequency band has been adjusted to the agreed location at the time, and Han Kun issued a connection request to the sender.

No response was received.

This is normal. Due to the interference of cosmic rays, signals cannot be clearly transmitted to the earth at any time.

Moreover, the other party did not expect that Xiao Qiang and the others would contact them so soon.

At the beginning, they all believed that it would take at least five years to build such a huge and basically complete base on the moon. But now, only two years and six months have passed.

Besides, the delay time has reached one minute after the transmission signal from the moon. When they logged on to Huanyu.com, they had a personal experience, needless to say.

Han Kun coughed and continued to repeat, trying to establish a connection with the African base.

When he repeated the fifth time, a sound mixed with radio waves suddenly sounded in the speaker: "I am an African base, I am an African base. Your voice was heard very clearly! On behalf of all African base members and colleagues in China, I salute the leader and all the comrades who are sticking to Guanghan Palace! Welcome back to the earth!"

The sound from the earth traveled through a long universe of 380,000 kilometers and arrived at the moon.

Despite the interference of rays from the universe, everyone heard the other person's trembling tone.

Tears flowed out of everyone's eyes.

It turns out that we are not alone!

Behind us, there are thousands of comrades, who are our strong backing!

On the screen, a dotted line is extending dots one by one, with a line of Chinese characters on it: "Please wait, the signal is being connected..."

The screen trembled, and snowflake-like spots began to appear, and then some twisted stripes gradually appeared, and quickly adjusted to a clear pattern.

It was a huge space, the control center hall of the African base.

The camera was taken from above, tilted downward, and you can see hundreds of staff in white coats, with their mouths wide open and looking up at the camera, with their eyes showing joy, joy and excitement.

Many people had tears in their eyes, and their lips trembled uncontrollably. With each shaking, tears slid down their faces. However, no one reached out to wipe them.

A large number of people are pouring inward at the entrance to the control center.

They looked in one direction, which was the location of the large display screen of the African base, jumped and cried excitedly, like a lost child, as excited as seeing his relatives.

There were many people who pushed forward desperately and waved hard at the camera. The expression on their faces was not sure whether they were crying or laughing.

In the crowd, a thin figure rushed to the camera, and tears fell like raindrops, flowing on her snow-white skin, forming tears.

Xiaoyi has lost weight. Her chin, which used to be round, now has a pointed chin, and her face has become a melon-shaped face. Although she looks a little pretty, as if she has returned to her student days, Xiao Qiang's heart is very painful, very painful...

"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang..." Lin Yi looked up at Xiao Qiang on the screen, not knowing what to say, but just kept repeating his name.

The hall of the African base became silent, and everyone calmed down, looking at their idols and their gods with respect!

Several officers came in and persuaded them to invite all other people who did not need to be on duty.

This was their first meeting after their leader and his wife had a long separation.

This moment, for the time being, is only theirs, which is more appropriate.
Chapter completed!
