"Such glass lunar warehouses are independent of each other, and the middle is composed of glass corridors. There is an airlock on each of the two sections of the corridor. The airlock is usually opened, and can be closed and isolated when it is urgent and necessary.

　　 Multiple glass lunar warehouses form a complete ground scientific research station building, and the number of glass lunar warehouses can be increased according to the number of people in the scientific research station, thereby enhancing the capacity of the scientific research station. "

　　 After hearing Wu Hao's introduction here, the experts can be regarded as having a basic understanding of the design concept of the permanent lunar commercial research station in Wu Hao's blueprint. It has to be said that this scheme is undoubtedly the most imaginative and the most beautiful among aerospace agencies and some commercial companies in various countries.

　　 And from now on, the permanent lunar commercial scientific research station should be the one with the lowest construction cost. If it is published, it will undoubtedly cause many aerospace agencies and commercial companies to follow suit and imitate it.

　　 How big can "this kind of glass dome" be built? Some experts curiously said.

Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled and said: "The gravity on the moon is about one-sixth of that on the earth, which means that this kind of glass protective cover can be built on the earth, theoretically speaking, it can be built on the moon. Six times.

　　 Of course, this is only in theory. Although the gravity on the moon is relatively low, the relevant conditions are definitely not as good as those on the earth, and it is impossible for us to transport all super-large machinery to the moon.

Therefore, we believe that this kind of large glass dome can also be called a glass bubble protective cover building. According to the current technical limitations, the largest diameter can reach about 500 meters. If it exceeds this scale, the resources and construction difficulties will definitely be consumed. Significant increase, and use and maintenance costs will also rise exponentially. "

　　 "Five hundred meters, can it be built so large?" All the experts and leaders couldn't help but exclaimed.

　　 Qin Xinghe, who has been sitting by the side as an audience member, couldn't help but said, "Such a large size can fit a small city inside."

　　 "You are right." Wu Hao smiled and nodded, then slid the transparent folding tablet on the table, and then a bird's-eye view rendering appeared on the big screen.

　　 When everyone saw this picture, they were all taken aback for a while, and then they started talking in exclamation.

　　 I saw in this picture, there are three huge glass bubble protective covers. Inside the glass bubble protective covers are various very sci-fi urban buildings. The three glass bubble protection covers present a fringe-shaped subsection, which is composed of glass corridors. In addition, there is a large circle facing the edges of the three glass bubble protection covers to enclose the three glass bubble protection covers. This is a pipeline maglev train, which will serve as the exterior of the three glass bubble protection covers. The main ring road carries the fast-changing traffic of these three bubble cities.

And these three glass bubble protection covers are also different. The first glass bubble protection cover is a single-row urban area. There are various buildings in it, which are divided into three floors, and each floor is covered by various types of buildings. The composition of the platform is a bit like that of the sky garden community. This is obviously a living area, with roads, light rails, and even traffic lights and zebra crossings, sports fields, shopping centers, and so on.

In the second glass bubble protective cover, there are not so many buildings, and it is divided into several floors. There are some low buildings and some workshops inside. Obviously, this should be a scientific research work area. . The top part should be the scientific research area, with many research institute laboratories, and the bottom part is the manufacturing area, which is distributed in many factories.

　　 The third glass bubble protective cover is also divided into the base layer, but this is actually full of large areas of farmland and forest. Obviously, this is an agricultural area.

　　 What's more common among the three glass bubble protective covers is that there is a huge pillar supporting the sky in the most central position, which supports the dome of the most central glass bubble protective cover and disperses the power above the dome. And this pillar is more like a prototype tall building, or a sky garden, with many plants and flowers growing on it.

"This is the prototype of the lunar city design we are conceiving. It is still developed and improved using the construction technology of the previous scientific research station. Each glass bubble protective cover is about 550 meters in diameter and 160 meters in height. Rice, made of 700,000 pieces of glass.

A bubble like this can accommodate 100,000 to 150,000 residents. In this way, three bubble protection covers can form a complete urban system that can accommodate 300,000 residents for permanent living and self-sufficiency. It can be said that It is a small lunar immigrant city. "

　　 I am afraid that the construction cost of such a lunar city is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. Some experts sighed.

　　 Wu Hao smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, not to mention the moon, to build a 300,000-scale small city or community on the earth, it is probably expensive, let alone on the moon.

　　 Of course, the cost would be unbearable if only human resources were used. Therefore, the main force in the construction of this lunar city will be robots, and robots will be responsible for the construction. Including the processing of all building materials ~www.readwn.com~ and the final construction welding process.

　　 In this way, the construction cost will be greatly reduced. Because the relevant resources are all on the moon, there is no need to continue to invest heavily.

　　 And as there are more and more lunar cities in the future, the cost will naturally become lower and lower. "

　　 Actually, Wu Hao didn't tell the truth here. Of course, the initial construction will reduce the cost, but the subsequent construction will not necessarily reduce the cost. Because by that time, various contractors and various services will follow one after another.

　　In the initial stage, these resources and building materials may need to be mined, refined and processed by themselves, built by themselves, etc., all of which have to be done by themselves, which can be said to be very time-consuming. But because the resources are mined by themselves, the energy is solar and the labor is robots, the cost is relatively low.

　　 But if you want to invest so much equipment in the later stage, you can only find the relevant service provider. These smart businessmen will naturally see business opportunities from them, and then provide quality services for these projects.

　　 For example, providing high-quality related ores, or even refined raw materials, can also help you build these lunar cities and so on. Although it is more convenient to build and save time and effort, the cost will definitely rise.

　　 But by then, probably Wu Hao and others will provide services for these projects. Who let them have the technology in this area and seize the opportunity?

　　 So now, it is naturally impossible for Wu Hao to tell these things. Who would break his own job and have trouble with money.
