Later historians once expressed great confusion about humans' super-rational behavior in the early 21st century. After careful research, they all believed that these countries did not have the conditions to fully develop the moon compared to China's technological level that surpassed the times. Even establishing a small resident base on the moon is an extremely resource-consuming task.

It can only be said that within the political framework, cost is not an absolute consideration.

But for more than ten years, countries on Earth that have the ability to land on the moon were launching lunar exploration and lunar landing rockets continuously.

Those who are not able to land on the moon are also vigorously developing rocket technology like encouragement.

At the climax stage, there are two to three rockets launched on average every month. It can be said that you will finish your career. The United States, Europe, Japan, India... Even Russia, which has just recovered a little bit of vitality, Canada, Australia and other countries with poor space levels have also joined in the fun. Various models of large rockets have been launched one after another.

With such frequent launch plans, accidents will naturally occur.

The US space shuttle disintegrated in the air, Russia's rocket exploded, India's lunar exploration vehicle became a spacecraft, and Japan's H-series rockets fell into the sea.

Countries around the world are rotating accidents, but they are still infatuated.

In the moon's moon front, the United States and Russia took the lead in establishing a small base that could host two or three astronauts. Later, Europe also built a small base on the moon with light materials, with two meters of lunar soil laid on it to resist sun rays. Japan is rich and powerful, but its space level is limited. It joined forces with other countries to form an international lunar base.

India threw a national flag on the moon to indicate its existence.

Lightweight construction materials have low loading costs and are easy to build, but the problem is that they cannot withstand the impact of meteorites from space.

The large-scale air-to-air radar established by Universal Corporation will alert the lunar bases of various countries when detecting meteorites falling. This has also become the key to other countries' bases that are temporarily powerless to establish large-scale space-sounding radars on the moon and save their lives.

However, even so, the international lunar exploration base built by Japan and other countries was still hit by a meteorite impact. Although they had received an alarm beforehand, they had already taken the spacecraft that had been prepared to escape from the base. However, the entire base was still destroyed. If they had not received fuel replenishment from the Universal Base, they would not have even returned to the earth.

It’s not that other countries don’t want to settle down in the melting hole like the Universal Base.

But the molten holes are not absolutely free of air leakage, and there are always some small holes inside. If the base is set here, all these air leakage holes need to be filled.

Transporting objects from the earth to the moon, under the technical conditions of most countries now, every kilogram of object is equivalent to the same volume of gold. No country can be extravagant to send dozens or hundreds of tons of cement from the earth to the moon.

All countries have a tacit understanding and build the base on the front of the moon without going to the back of the moon.

Because before countries landed on the moon, the United States had launched lunar exploration vehicles many times to observe the universe base in detail.

Once, the unmanned lunar exploration vehicle landed from the lunar orbit, trying to test the baseline of the Universal Base. Then they got the desired result: After the Universal Base warned it three times, it returned it to the component state by a laser beam.

Due to this blow, other countries understood that Xiao Qiang had regarded the back of the moon as his private territory.

It seems ok, but you can't stretch out your hands!

Otherwise, you will be beaten.

On the moon, only Xiao Qiang has a small-scale armed force. Although this force seems very weak on the earth, on the moon, it is an unquestionable "powerful force".

No one dares to really challenge the Universal Base.

Even if the United States has a Marine guard at its small base, it can only whistle at night and show itself a courage.

If they knew that the World Base was carrying out large-scale expansion operations, consuming thousands of tons of cement every day, they would not know if they would be crazy about envy.

Xiao Qiang did not pay much attention to the expansion of the base, and all these matters were taken care of by experts.

As the leader, he only needs to grasp the overall situation and move forward according to his predetermined trajectory. He puts all the other time on the things he is interested in, that is, the safety of the base.

At the end of July 2012, the first low-gravity medium-sized patrol spacecraft was completed.

The construction of this spacecraft consumed Xiao Qiang and other personnel, and they had a lot of effort. What Xiao Qiang provided was all parts and they needed to assemble them one by one.

This is not on Earth, with various handy equipment tools, but only a certain equipment must be used before Xiao Qiang can be specially reorganized.

Especially the construction of the hull shell is even more difficult.

Everyone spent a lot of energy on assembling the hull, but the progress was still slow. It was not until Xiao Qiang deliberately used three months to assemble a set of large special equipment that accelerated the assembly speed of the spacecraft, and completed the assembly of the first small patrol spacecraft in nearly eight months.

This is a flat disc-shaped aircraft.

There is no air on the moon, and there is no need to consider the aerodynamic shape of flying in the atmosphere in a vacuum environment. Its appearance needs to be very different from that of the planes on Earth.

The biggest advantage of a disc-shaped aircraft is that it can quickly change the flight direction through the thrust at different positions. In space, a flexible and fast aircraft is more vital, and its curved surface also has greater pressure resistance, making it very suitable for use as aerial weapons and equipment in the lunar environment.

Although it is a small aircraft, its diameter still reaches more than 30 meters.

The center of the aircraft is all opened as a fuel compartment. In this way, when the aircraft is hit, it must first penetrate the shell defense. It can improve the living environment of the spacecraft. The rocket engine of the aircraft is placed at the bottom, which can be deformed thirty degrees and change the direction of the nozzle, so that the spacecraft can change direction in the air.

The entire spacecraft does not have a bow and a stern, and the driver's position is set in a transparent tempered glass cover on the top of the spacecraft.

Around the spacecraft, there is a connected ring that can carry six to ten space land soldiers. They usually stay in this closed space and use optical fiber settings to control laser weapons hidden on the surface of the aircraft to launch an attack.

Patrol spacecraft is usually raised to the lunar orbit through a rocket engine, and then the engine can be shut down to save fuel.

Through inertia, the patrol spacecraft can fly over the moon for a long time and change the direction of the flight by the rocket engine. When needed, it can descend to a low altitude within twenty minutes, launch an attack or release the spacecraft from the mainland space land warriors.

From this we can see that this is actually a deformation of the aerospace plane.

It’s just that the moon’s gravity is only one-sixth of the earth. Therefore, the spacecraft consumes much less fuel when it breaks away from the moon. Although it cannot glide and take off like on the earth,

It can save more fuel and supply spacecraft to maneuver flight.

After the first small space patrol spacecraft was completed, Xiao Qiang spent more than a month to reorganize twenty-eight large reconnaissance satellites and two relay satellites in one go.

When the sixth spacecraft carrying supplies returned, these satellites were also taken to space and released in orbit on the moon.

At this point, a comprehensive reconnaissance, patrol and defense system of air and ground has been considered a great achievement.

There is no air on the moon. Large reconnaissance satellites can clearly detect accurate changes in any position on the moon through infrared, optical, and electronic reconnaissance equipment. It can be said that after the orbits of these reconnaissance satellites are adjusted in place and put into use, there will be no one on the entire moon that can conceal their tricks.

The moon is undoubtedly completely in Xiao Qiang's hands.

The sixth supply brought a third of the equipment in a complete electronics laboratory, and some researchers, including an independent research laboratory.

The independent research laboratory consumes very little material and is suitable for research on the moon.

The low gravity environment of the moon is also suitable as a test site for scientific research activities such as electronic crystallization. The earth crystals and smelting products produced here are much higher quality than those on the earth.

Starting from the sixth resupply, the African base began to conduct research and gradually moved to the moon.

When all the researchers are transferred, the African base will become Xiao Qiang’s base on the earth, practical application land and personnel training supplementary base.

The establishment of the moon reconnaissance satellite network and the emergence of small space patrol spacecraft have shocked all countries.

They could not understand how Xiao Qiang did it far away from the earth and established a reconnaissance and police defense system. The images detected by the lunar exploration vehicle and the spacecraft when flying around the moon before landing can be seen that Xiao Qiang and the others do not seem to have large production lines. If there is, it must be hidden in the melting hole.

But how much space does that require!

They could only guess that Xiao Qiang and his team used a special method to transport a complete set of very advanced production lines to the moon without everyone noticing it. As for how it is done, every expert who conducts the analysis can only spread his hands. People with a sense of humor can say one more thing: "This is probably the gods of China, who are helping them."

In the past, other countries still had the idea of ​​racing against Universal and seizing the moon. Seeing the one-time completion of the satellite reconnaissance network and the sudden appearance of space patrol spacecraft, everyone was desperate.

Xiao Qiang is simply a magician. Other countries are so desperate that they still can't catch up with him. They can only watch Xiao Qiang go faster and faster. Every time he takes out some new high-tech products to hit the confidence of other countries.

After countless blows, these countries have become discouraged from the initial efforts to develop space.

They can no longer believe that they can still gain a leading position in the competition for the moon. Even if they spent tens of billions of dollars, the United States built an electromagnetic gun in China. Compared with Xiao Qiang's easy-to-build three electromagnetic guns, Americans were ashamed and embarrassed to talk about this topic.

They just hope that, as Universal said to their press conference, is developing the moon for the future of humanity.

At least, they can also get a pie in the collection and allocation of lunar resources.

Xiao Qiang ignored all these things and handed them over to the country.

All the important resources collected, except for the part left by themselves, were sold to China. Anyway, China was happy to act as a lunar product franchise, taking advantage of the opportunity of rare goods, building relationships everywhere, establishing partners with others, and leaders visiting everywhere, having a great time.

Although on the surface, the RMB is still semi-converted to currency. In fact, it has already served as nearly one-third of the international settlement currency.

The world has driven the country's technological upgrades, but due to the large country and too large population, the production scale of primary and intermediate industrial products is still huge. When China occupied the supply of high-end products, it has completely monopolized the entire industrial chain. From the low-end to the high-end, all products have more or less carried the shadow of "Made in China".

After more than 30 years of reform, with the booming economy, the Chinese have money and consumption has gradually begun to relax.

Forty-seven percent of GDP is generated by domestic consumption. A rising and huge and gradually improving economic entity is moving from an outward-oriented economy to a balance. Due to the further prosperity caused by the lunar economy, China's consumption capacity will grow even more in the expected future.

The whole world is calculating with its fingers, when will China completely replace the United States and become the largest engine of the world's economy?

Xiao Qiang and others had the experience of completing the first space patrol spacecraft and had a full set of assembly equipment, and the progress was rapidly improved. Just before the completion of their second space patrol spacecraft, the Universal Moon Base Expansion Command reported to him: the first phase of the lunar base expansion project, the Shanbao expansion project will be fully completed two years after the start of construction.

Immediately afterwards, good news came from the African base. After years of development, the space shuttle has been delayed to this day, and has finally been completed and has undergone strict acceptance work and can be put into use at any time.

The expanded Universal Moon Base expands the original hillside. In addition to being reserved as a supporting point rock column and reinforced, a disk-shaped space with a diameter of six kilometers and a height of more than fifty meters was formed. Only two kilometers of rock outside were left as a protective layer.

In the future, when the alloy refining factories, automatic machining factories and other supporting factories are completed one after another, they can provide enough alloy frame support devices to build the existing space into a honeycomb system. The 50-meter-high layer will not bring a lot of depression. Some people are still discussing that they simply bring some non-toxic paint from the earth and paint the top into the background of the sky, making people feel more happy.

The completion of the space shuttle has brought hope to the Universal Moon Base.

The structure of this close-range space shuttle is actually very simple. Putting aside the cockpit in front and the fuel compartment in the rear, the power compartment, the middle part is a large cube space.

To put it bluntly, this is a container cargo ship used for short-range (relative to the universe) flights.

Its difficulty lies not in its technological content, but in its large volume, all of which must be made of high-strength alloy materials. It does not enter the atmosphere, does not land on the moon, but only travels between two planets to fly in space.

So, the reason why it took so long was that the alloy materials needed were too cumbersome.

Moreover, after it was completed, it did not immediately carry out earth-moon transportation, but first established a transit station on the earth's synchronous orbit. The transit station not only temporarily stores goods transported by space planes, but also has a small maintenance center to conduct regular inspection and maintenance of space stations. It is also a fuel replenishment station for space shuttles.

Its launch also uses a space shuttle-like rocket launch, with its own push and

The force appearance cannot fly at all.

A super rocket was specially made for the space shuttle in China. After it was erected, the height reached more than 90 meters!

In this way, the space shuttle was carrying a huge fuel tank that was one-third more than its size.

The super rocket launched the space shuttle from the ground, providing it with initial speed. The propulsion capsule fell from the air and burned in the atmosphere. Finally, the rocket sent the space shuttle to a height of more than 100 kilometers and then separated.
