In fact, how to build this lunar scientific research station has always been a key topic in the field of aerospace research, and it is also one of the difficult problems.

After all, the distance is 380,000 kilometers, so this has very strict requirements for any construction facilities on the moon. Although various aerospace agencies and aerospace companies have released their own plans for lunar scientific research stations, even including some design plans and design ideas, etc.

But how to design and build this lunar scientific research station is also the biggest problem facing Wu Hao and the others, because they have no experience and no reference objects.

They intelligently built this lunar scientific research station from scratch through the design plans and related ideas released by various aerospace agencies and aerospace companies, as well as their own related understanding.

So how should it be built, and what functional modules are there? There is no ready-made reference object for these. So what to do, Wu Hao and the others can only build a little bit based on these reference materials and experience.

To put it simply, this lunar surface scientific research station can actually be regarded as a large space station on the moon. It's just that compared with the space station sailing in the low-earth orbit of the moon, this lunar surface scientific research station is larger and more complicated.

It has all the functions and features of a space station. For example, it must have its own core module, its own personnel living module, and a resource service module that supports the operation of the entire lunar surface scientific research station.

In addition to these cabin configurations, several experimental cabins and airlock cabins that enter and exit the entire lunar surface scientific research station will also be added on this basis as needed.

It's just that according to the specific conditions of this lunar surface scientific research station and the different lunar environments, these functional modules will also be slightly different, but they are all not bad, and the functions are basically the same.

Of course, the entire lunar surface scientific research station is far from that simple. Because they are 380,000 kilometers away, some other cabin modules may be added, such as storage warehouse modules, which cannot be one, but must be two, or even more than three.

Why, because these storage warehouse modules store the materials needed for personnel's life and scientific research work, so disaster recovery backup must be carried out. Otherwise, if there is a problem with the storage warehouse, then the things inside will be damaged.

Once there is a problem with these materials, the distance is 380,000 kilometers, and even if it is urgently arranged for a cargo spacecraft to transport and resupply the materials, it will take at least a week. How can these personnel wait.

Therefore, important functional modules like this are usually built in two or three, or even more, to serve as backups for each other.

In this way, even if there is a problem with one or even two of them, it will not affect the normal operation of the entire lunar surface scientific research station, as well as the life and scientific research work of the personnel inside.

In addition to this storage warehouse module, there are also water resource protection modules, air supply modules, power modules and so on.

These modules will not be put together, but will be placed in different areas in pairs according to different functions, so that even if there is a problem in one area, another area is still functioning normally.

Even modules like this living cabin, the core control module, have backups to deal with possible crises.

Even one kilometer away from this scientific research station, an emergency avoidance center will be built in the future for emergency avoidance after a large-scale disaster strikes.

What is a large-scale disaster? For example, a wave of meteorite rain suddenly came on the moon, and the entire lunar scientific research station was severely damaged, making it uninhabitable. In addition, the landing ascender parked at the nearby landing site was damaged, and personnel could not evacuate the moon urgently.

Then at this time, these people can be urgently evacuated to this emergency avoidance center for temporary living.

There is relatively abundant water and food stored here, which can guarantee the life of these personnel for a certain amount of time, enough to wait for the arrival of rescue from the earth.

Back to the construction of the lunar surface scientific research station, with the paving of the road above the foundation completed, the construction of the theme building of the entire lunar lunar surface scientific research station officially started.

first of all

What is printed is the core module, which is the central control center of the entire lunar surface scientific research station. In fact, there are two such control center modules, one is the main control module and the other is the emergency control center.

The main control center is placed in the middle of the entire lunar surface scientific research station complex, which is also the theme building. In the future, the construction of the entire lunar surface scientific research station will start from here and gradually extend around.

The entire main control center presents a nearly square lower part and a circular dome upper part. It is divided into upper and lower floors, covering an area of ​​about 140 square meters. The lower floor is the access passage, independent airlock cabin, and related equipment rooms. And the second floor is the core of the entire main control center, the control hall.

The entire main control center is printed in one piece, and is divided into two layers: inner and outer. All are sintered and printed from lunar soil. There are several large glass hanging windows designed in the upper control hall, and the outside situation can be seen through these glass portholes.

Originally, these glass hanging windows should also be printed by the moon's 3D printer, UU Kanshu www. uukanshu.com But the technology is too difficult, and if the size of the printed glass is too large, the compressive capacity is too poor. Therefore, the glass used in these glass portholes, including the glass used in the entire base, will be transported from the earth.

The glass alone weighs two tons. That's it, it's simplified. In the future, the quartz sand on the moon will be used to print glass with higher purity and stronger pressure resistance, which will then be used in subsequent expansion projects.

Of course, the main control center building printed by the lunar soil 3D printer is just an empty shell, and personnel must not live in it, and further construction is needed.

For example, the interior of the entire main control center is installed, and a special material is sprayed on these printed walls. This material will automatically solidify when it is bonded to the entire wall to form a film.

Then paste internal conforming materials on this layer of film, such as thermal insulation materials, anti-radiation materials, etc. Only in this way can a closed, safe and stable shell be formed.

In addition, during the entire internal construction process, those complicated pipelines must be installed. The whole process is very complicated, and the construction period is far more complicated than just printing the building shell.
