After 32 hours of flight.

The Xingyao arrived at the gravitational range of the moon, and landed towards a giant metal city below.

The descending process lasted for more than ten minutes, and the Xingyao adjusted to the best landing position and landed next to an arc crater with a span of 42 kilometers.

Surrounding the landing area is a plain of nearly one million square kilometers. The metal giant city is in the center of the plain, and there is a giant metal docking platform of more than 100,000 square meters.

The moon has ammonia or hydrogen gas, but it is extremely thin, about one trillionth of that on Earth, so there is no air on the surface of the moon. The landing of Xingyao did not cause a loud noise. However, the spacecraft landed suddenly. A lot of dust was blown up, and the dust in the sky was falling down quickly.

After the successful landing of Xingyao, the lower part of the spacecraft was quickly connected to the elevator passage inside the mooring platform, the closed air valve was activated, and the passenger passage was opened.

The cargo compartment of the Xingyao opened on its own like a sales car. Then, unmanned vehicles or cars waited in line for a while. One giant manipulator stretched out from the inside of the cargo compartment, and the giant metal claws grabbed a cargo container. , just to fill the unmanned van.

Under the remote control of the base's artificial intelligence brain, the army of machines in the base quickly started, and a huge number of unmanned mechanical vehicles and engineering intelligent robots came from all directions of the base, and they started to "act" like a hard-working ant colony.

Human form, spider form, multi-legged and multi-handed form, construction manipulator form,..., various forms of engineering intelligent robots receive orders from the command center to carry out various engineering and cargo work.

Xingyao has a body length of 323 meters, a width of 85 meters, and a height of 30 meters. It can transport 3,000 passengers. At the same time, it can swallow millions of tons of materials. It is an incomparably huge metal monster.

The materials transported in one trip can meet the survival needs of the lunar base and the population of 20,000 for several years. However, the lunar base is still in the expansion stage, and more materials are special materials for infrastructure, production equipment, and so on.

When the huge mechanical force was running, the entire base sand and dust began to "fly". Because the gas on the moon is scarce, there is no resistance. Even the dust raised is only affected by the gravity of the moon and immediately falls to the surface of the moon. , so the entire construction site did not cause the spread of sand and dust, and the scene of dust flying everywhere.

The entire metal giant city is divided into upper and lower parts, the ground part is the production area, and the underground part is the living area.

Giant metal buildings have been built on the ground, such as: large cold fusion power stations, large metal smelters, machinery manufacturing yards, ..., etc., various large buildings, many factories operate in a highly intelligent state, and a few need personnel to maintain The staff wears space suits or sits in safety mechs to carry out on-site operations.

Moon rock contains oxygen, aluminum, iron, titanium, silicon and other resources. Therefore, during the construction of the lunar base, these resources can be produced by themselves. Among them, an oxygen production plant is indispensable, which will extract oxygen-containing soil, heat it, and separate hydrogen. , oxygen, and other elements, and build factories that produce basic materials such as water, hydrogen, oxygen, aluminum, and more.

The entire ground base is full of busy figures of intelligent engineering robots and intelligent engineering vehicles, collecting resources, transporting materials, and manufacturing. Because there is no air transmission, huge construction projects are silent and silent.

At the same time, the production activities of the lunar base do not need to worry about environmental protection issues. As soon as the thick black smoke from the metal smelter enters the air, it is quickly diluted and dissipated.

The underground lunar base is another production scene.

Under the leadership of the staff, Li Yi and Zhou Wenhui successfully arrived at the Moonlight Base through the exclusive channel.

The head of the base, Zhan Yifeng, together with a group of scientific researchers, welcomed the arrival of Li Yi and his wife.

"Mr. Li, it's been **** the road. Do you need a rest first?" Zhan Yifeng looked at Li Yi and asked with concern.

"No need, just woke up before disembarking, take me to the control room to see! Check your work progress!" Li Yi smiled slightly and declined.

"No problem, Mr. Li, please come in!" Zhan Yifeng nodded happily, made a gesture of invitation, and said enthusiastically.

After finishing speaking, Zhan Yifeng walked ahead and led the way, while introducing to Li Yi the general construction of the lunar base.

The ground manufacturing area of ​​the lunar base has generally completed various processes of collection, smelting, and product preparation. All kinds of mechanical engineering vehicles and robot factories can be produced by themselves. The next time the materials delivered from the earth, only some high-end cutting-edge materials are needed. materials, such as chips, superconducting materials, etc.

The living area of ​​the lunar underground base has been built with a constant temperature environment system, underground farms, underground farms, plantations, ecological parks, etc. have been completed successively, and the construction of the internal ecological circle has basically been completed, and an indoor swimming pool, a stadium, and a football field have been built. , basketball court, …, etc. recreational facilities.

Along the way, Li Yi roughly saw the living conditions of the underground base. The scientific research workers have a positive outlook, focus on the experimental work, and the state of game entertainment is also very normal. They have basically adapted to the life of the lunar base.

Ten minutes later, under the leadership of Zhan Yifeng, Li Yi, Zhou Wenhui, and their subordinates arrived at the core control room of the Moon Base.

The huge screen wall shows the manufacturing area on the lunar base and various surveillance images of the underground base, and there are busy working conditions everywhere.

"Mr. Li, the construction of the ground base is progressing very fast. The construction area of ​​the UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com base has been expanded by 100 square kilometers, the collection area is 1,000 kilometers in diameter, and 351 rich resource points have been proved, among which the richest The helium-3 resource is estimated to be 50 million tons!" Zhan Yifeng opened the three-dimensional map of the base and introduced to Li Yi.

"Oh! So many!" Li Yi was surprised.

Helium-3 is a clean, safe and high-efficiency nuclear fusion power generation fuel. Helium-3 does not generate neutrons during the fusion process, so the emission is small, and the reaction process is easy to control, which is environmentally friendly and safe.

When working on nuclear fusion energy, it provides a huge amount of energy for the base. At the same time, by extracting 1 ton of helium-3 from the lunar soil, about 6,300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1,600 tons of carbon can also be obtained. It is an important necessity for maintaining a permanent lunar base.

"Yes, the moon contains more helium-3 than the earth, and the refining process is relatively simple. We have built 130 cold nuclear fusion power plants to provide sufficient energy supply for the super laser cannon array." Zhan Yifeng laughed introduced.

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, what about other important projects! How is the progress?"

Hearing this, Zhan Yifeng quickly manipulated the three-dimensional map and continued to explain to Li Yi.
