Chapter 336 Moon Mining
Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping received a mission from the company, and they are about to drive the space shuttle to the moon.

After the space mission, the company gave them a week off.

After returning to the company, the two of them devoted themselves to intense training.

The instructors of the aerospace training center will train them in the basic skills of working on the moon.

On February 2, Zhou Yu came to the Space Command Center of Xinghuo Technology.

Lu Jinming, president of the Aerospace Business Group, reported to him: "We have used the National Resources Satellite to detect lunar minerals and have found a relatively rich helium-3 storage site.

The companies under the Materials Industry Business Group have produced complete lunar soil helium-3 material extraction equipment.

We went to the moon this time mainly to extract helium-3. In the process, we also put three satellites in lunar orbit, two of which are satellites of relevant state departments, and the other is a resource exploration satellite of our company.

With the excellent carrier of the space shuttle, we will also bring back some samples of lunar soil and moon rocks on the moon.

For scientists to study the situation on the moon. "

"The plan you have prepared is very detailed. How long will it take to go back and forth to the moon?" Zhou Yu asked with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, it takes 3 days to go to and from the moon, and 12 days to mine on the moon. The whole moon mining plan will take half a month." Lu Jinming replied immediately.

"This time is not long. After the technology is skilled and enough astronauts are trained in the future, the moon mining mission should be normalized." Zhou Yu explained.

"Mr. Zhou, our aerospace business group is preparing to carry out the lunar base project in the next step. We are planning to build a permanent unmanned base on the moon.

It refines lunar minerals and builds some factories on the moon. "Lu Jinming reported the goals of their business group for the next stage.

"I won't bother you, prepare for this moon mining business." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Seeing that the time for the launch of the space shuttle was about to arrive, he didn't disturb Lu Jinming's work anymore.

Lu Jinming began to command the engineers, and the space shuttle officially entered the countdown before takeoff.

Everything is ready, the state of the space shuttle is perfect, and Xinghuo Technology is preparing to launch the space shuttle.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Fire and launch."

The space shuttle's anti-gravity equipment was activated, and it began to float rapidly into the air. After that, the particle electric propulsion engine was ignited, leaving only a brilliant light band, and the space shuttle flew towards the outside of the atmosphere.

When the space shuttle flew into space, a deep voice sounded in the cockpit.

"I am Zhou Yu, chairman of Spark Technology, and I wish you all the best of luck.

You will be the first Chinese to land on the moon, and you will conquer the moon on behalf of 14 billion Chinese.

We are by no means to show our ability, just to visit the moon.

We are going to open up the moon, you are the pioneers of China to open up the moon, you will be remembered by history. "

After hearing Zhou Yu's speech, Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping shouted loudly in the cockpit of the space shuttle: "We promise to complete the mission."

The space shuttle soon came out of the atmosphere and circled the earth for half a circle. The particle electric propulsion engine of the space shuttle was started and accelerated towards the moon.

The orbit of the space shuttle flying from the moon to the earth is an ellipse. During the flight, it also borrowed the traction of the sun's gravity, which consumes less energy, but can go to the moon at a faster speed.

Cheng Yuhua was woken up by the alarm he set and found that they had almost reached the moon.

In the process of flying from the earth to the moon, the space shuttle has been in the state of intelligent navigation, and now he needs to assist the space shuttle to change the state.

Cheng Yuhua pressed a few buttons on the console, and the flight attitude of the space shuttle changed.

The parameters of the anti-gravity equipment of the space shuttle are changed to those of the moon, so that the space shuttle can realize the function of anti-gravity driving on the moon.

The main particle electric propulsion engine at the tail of the space shuttle shuts down, and the auxiliary particle electric propulsion engines at both ends of the wing rotate 180 degrees to start ignition and braking.

The purpose of the space shuttle braking is to allow the moon's gravity to capture it, preventing the space shuttle from flying directly over the moon's orbit because of its high speed.

After the space shuttle was captured in lunar orbit, it began to perform the work of deploying satellites.

After the satellites were deployed, the space shuttle began to revolve around the moon and constantly adjusted its orbital direction.

According to the built-in electronic map of the moon in the space shuttle, move towards the destination of the space shuttle.

The space shuttle is about to arrive at their mining destination, the particle electric propulsion engine is turned off, and the anti-gravity equipment is turned on.

The space shuttle hovered three meters above the ground and stopped.

Cheng Yuhua patted Wei Ziping and said, "Brother, we've been recharging our energy for such a long time, it's time to go to work."

The two of them have already changed into spacesuits dedicated to the moon.

Wei Ziping opened the hatch of the space shuttle, and they first used the sling to put the mining equipment on the surface of the moon.They then released dozens of intelligent robots.

Cheng Yuhua saw that they had put down all the equipment needed to mine the moon minerals according to the list.

He glanced down and said, "Let's jump down! The moon's gravity is so low, we'll have no problem jumping down."

After Cheng Yuhua finished speaking, he immediately jumped down.

He felt himself touching the surface of the moon, which was not solid ground at all, as if he had jumped onto a sandy patch.

Cheng Yuhua felt his body sink completely.

He immediately observed his state, and he sank into the lunar soil, the depth of which had reached his knees.

"No wonder the company wants to mine helium-3 here, there is so much lunar soil here."

Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping began to arrange equipment for mining helium-3.They mainly direct the actions of intelligent robots.

The working efficiency of intelligent robots is very fast, and the equipment used by Xinghuo Technology to mine helium-3 is also very efficient and advanced.

To mine helium-3, the lunar soil must first be purified with equipment to remove impurities in the lunar soil.

The equipment starts to heat the purified lunar soil. After heating to 700 degrees Celsius, helium-3 will become gas and be separated from the lunar soil.

When heating the lunar regolith, not only helium-3 is separated.The separated mixed gas is purified again with equipment to obtain very pure helium-3.

Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping saw that the helium-3 purification plant was working normally.

They took part of the intelligent robots and began to walk towards the lunar crater not far away with the equipment.

They want to drill holes in the rock formations on the moon and extract rock samples from different depths on the moon's surface.

These rock specimens are studied by scientists and can discover many secrets of the moon.

Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping need to fly the space shuttle to different iconic locations on the moon.

They manipulated intelligent robots to extract samples from the moon.

It's hard work, but they take great pride in it.

No other country has brought back so many specimens from the moon before.Especially specimens of lunar rock formations, now they do.
