Chapter 46
"Report."

"After instrumental testing, the lunar soil does contain helium-3."

After an afternoon of digging, Chen Xu had a good sleep in the control center.

Finally came the astronaut's report.

At this time, a large pit has been dug out on the surface of the moon star.

The lunar rover has already begun to dig to a depth of two meters.

Every time the astronauts dig a certain distance, they will put the excavated lunar soil into the instrument for comparison.

If it contains helium 3, it will be displayed directly.

Finally, when the excavation reached a depth of two meters, the lunar soil dug up finally had a comparison signal.

At this time, the control center was also very happy. Although they still don't know how high the content is, at least it shows that they have really dug helium 3 ore.

"Continue to expand the area and dig deep lunar soil."

The surface layer of lunar soil is the least valuable, basically there is no helium-3 component, if there is, it is very little.

Generally speaking, they are hidden in the shallow lunar soil, and now they have dug into the shallow lunar soil.

The good news stimulated everyone.

At this time, even Situ Chun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences rushed over after receiving the news.

Originally, the highlight of this moon landing was the moon landing.

It's just that because of Chen Xu's needs, it abruptly became a special task of excavating lunar soil.

However, if this task is completed, it will be very important, definitely no less than the entire project they have recently planned.

"Churan, how is it?"

Situ Chun asked about his granddaughter.

It's just that Situ Churan looked businesslike.

"Dean, everything is fine."

Seeing this scene, Situ Chun became anxious.

Since hitting Chen Xu last time, this granddaughter's smile has decreased a lot, and she doesn't even want to talk to her grandpa anymore.

Obviously already had a knot.

She became more fanatical and devoted herself to work, which made Situ Chun very worried that her granddaughter would not be able to hold on, and would step down.

"Okay, continue."

He didn't know what to do, and looked at Chen Xu who was doing nothing behind him, and he was even more angry, but Chen Xu should take all the credit for digging the moon soil this time.

This is really irritating, not only taking away half of his granddaughter's credit, but also making her granddaughter autistic.

"Chen Xu, what do you think?"

"Do you want to look for another location?"

Situ Chun couldn't stand it any longer and forcefully pulled Chen Xu to the big screen and asked.

"Well, according to the signal of the instrument."

"This is indeed a helium-3 mining area."

"I suggest that the excavation can be carried out immediately."

Chen Xu is very confident in his equipment, since the signal is so strong, it can't be bad.

Just excavate and that's it.

"Okay, old Xing."

"Let's excavate with all our strength. The quantity of 10 tons can only exceed the standard and cannot be reduced."

"The 100 kg helium-3 standard must be completed."

Situ Chun got Chen Xu and it was definitely a decision.

So the two astronauts immediately started digging.

Don't dare to delay for a moment.

On the first day, the excavated quantity was only 0.5 tons.

Calculated according to the mission cycle of half a month, the number is far from enough, Xing Liqun immediately asked the astronauts to work overtime.

After all, it's a moonlit night there, and it's always daytime, so you can work hard.

The next day, excavation yield reached 0.8 tons.

Compared with yesterday, it has increased significantly, but it is still far from enough to achieve the goal.

Xing Liqun once again ordered to continue to increase the workload.

Soon, the astronauts originally worked three hours a day, which continued to increase until it increased to eight hours.

This is all work outside the cabin, and the risk is still quite high.

The poor astronauts have now become excavator operators and brick movers one by one, and they are constantly digging the lunar soil.

Shipping moon soil, just like migrant workers.

Until the day before the moonlit night.

The astronaut finally reported out of breath.

"Report, all the shipping bags are used up, please return to the cabin."

Yes, all the bags brought up from the ground have been used up.

At this time, all the places inside the spacecraft that could hold the moon soil were put down.

Even the bottom of the cockpit was stuffed with a pile of lunar soil. In order to complete the task, the two astronauts tried their best.

From an unfamiliar excavator operator, it is estimated that he would be qualified to drive a real excavator now, and now he is proficient.

"Okay, I declare that the mission is over and you can return."

Xing Liqun was relieved. The bags they prepared this time were enough to transport 20 tons.

Although it is impossible to fill every bag, according to normal conditions, 10 tons of lunar soil can definitely be in place.

He can breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, the spacecraft immediately began to prepare for the return.

…………

"How about it?"

"How about it?"

At this time, Xing Liqun was anxiously waiting for the lunar soil data to be shipped back.

Yuetu-[-] has returned successfully.

China's first moon landing was a complete success.

But these are ordinary people excited about how a successful moon landing returns to earth.

What the insiders pay attention to is not this, but how much lunar soil is transported back.

"Old Xing, there are already data."

A staff member anxiously rushed over with the data and began to report.

"The total weight of lunar soil is 12 tons."

"The helium-3 content is up to 12%."

"Minimum 0.5%."

"The average content is around 5%."

"We estimate that it will be able to reach 600 kilograms of helium-3."

As soon as these words came out, all the people waiting outside were shocked.

They were amazed, they were excited, they started cheering and jumping up.

"This is completely a miracle, this is a bonanza."

Just kidding, don't think that the content of 5% is very low. Compared with gold mines, it is not known how much higher.

With this mine, it will continuously provide China with energy.

It’s even possible to move away from traditional coal.

It can also get rid of the dependence on oil, which is a strategic adjustment with very far-reaching significance.

"Report, report immediately!"

"We want to tell the leader this news!"

Xing Liqun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also jumped up excitedly.

This is a huge achievement, and it can definitely bring more funds to the aerospace project. Just for this, it can prove that they have not only succeeded, but also achieved breakthrough progress beyond the limit.

Definitely great news.

Soon, this news was constantly reported upwards.

When knowing that there is a person behind this who has made a huge contribution.

Even his presence made it possible to mine helium-3.

A certain boss gave a direct instruction.

"Strict protection, appropriate rewards."

This sentence from the leader is not ordinary.

This directly allowed Chen Xu to enjoy a higher standard of security treatment.

Immediately there are personal security personnel.

No one dares to relax their vigilance for such diverse top talents.

Similarly, appropriate rewards are also conveyed layer by layer.

Once again, Chen Xu directly rewarded tens of millions for his sudden contribution.

And there are many other types of bonuses.

It's really soft to get a bonus.
