Yang Yunshan and Cai Kang didn't know what was happening on the earth.
At this time, the two of them were watching the Goddess's robot carry the ecological experimental cabin out of the transport cabin.
The five-ton ecological experimental cabin was easily carried by four robots.
This ecological experimental cabin is an important part of their lunar exploration project experiments.
In the ecological experimental cabin, there are Arabidopsis seeds, potatoes, silkworms, rice, soybeans and some decomposing bacteria, as well as the seeds of the army ant group, forming a small biosphere, which mainly studies the living conditions of organisms on the lunar surface.
Prepare for long-term human presence on the lunar surface.
Soon, four robots carried the ecological experimental cabin and placed it in the designated open space.
Yang Yunsheng checked the ecological experimental cabin and found that there was no problem, so he was completely relieved.
"It's really powerful." Cai Kang sighed as he looked at the robot walking back, then turned to look at the two machines working not far from the open space: "What are those two machines doing?"
There are more than forty robots sent by the Army Ant Group this time, large and small. The other detection robots and construction robots used to build the base have already left the plane and entered tunnels or went out to explore. Only these two machines are left. Collecting lunar soil.
"You can ask the goddess." Yang Yunsheng said.
Goddess is their name for the Goddess artificial intelligence.
"It's a helium-3 extraction machine, used to collect helium-3 in the lunar soil." The voice of the artificial intelligence on the Goddess quickly reached their headsets.
Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang were surprised. They did not expect that the Marching Ant Group would have so many tasks on the moon. In addition to building a base, they also had to mine helium-3 resources.
"It's time for us to get to work."
Cai Kang withdrew his gaze.
"Goddess, can you ask the robot to send some soil and rocks out of the tunnel?"
In addition to conducting some experiments, this moon landing is to collect as much lunar rocks and soil as possible, especially rare rocks and soil.
Like the rocks and soil inside the tunnel, this is a gap in human research.
No one knows the geological structure inside the moon or the ancient volcanic activity on the moon. The rocks and soil inside the magma tunnel help them study ancient volcanic activities on the moon, which is very rare.
"Okay." The Goddess's artificial intelligence said, "How many are needed?"
"Three hundred kilograms." Yang Yunsheng said.
The transport cabins of the two aerospace planes have a large transport space. As long as they can be loaded, they can be transported back. They stayed on the lunar surface for five days this time, which seemed like a lot, but apart from rest time and other scheduled time, the mission time was definitely not that much.
On Earth, after the news of China's successful landing on the back of the moon was announced by the lunar exploration engineering team and the army ant group, it almost swept the world like a tornado.
In China, the photos of two astronauts, Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang, planting the national flag and the two steps went viral on WeChat Moments and the country was abuzz.
Domestic mainstream media, almost at the same time, reported the news vigorously.
The successful lunar exploration has almost equaled the pace of global space exploration, and the army ant group is about to build a base on the moon. They are one step ahead of the world.
This is a landmark achievement.
The first time humans set foot on the land on the back of the moon that has faced the universe for hundreds of millions of years is a big step for human space exploration.
Almost on the same day, a sense of national pride could be seen flooding every corner of the Internet. Various types of forums, post bars, Moments, Weibo, and group chats all contain this news.
Historically, China has maintained its leadership in civilization for thousands of years.
In the past two hundred years, due to the isolation of the country, it fell behind the world and was plundered and oppressed. Now, it has risen again and stood on the stage of the pinnacle of history, which has excited countless people.
Five days is not long. Officials of the Marching Ant Group and the lunar exploration engineering team will update the latest news on the back of the moon every day. The news of the successful moon landing has always maintained the highest popularity.
Five days later, the moon landing mission was completed and the news that the two astronauts began to return has once again attracted attention from around the world.
The airport at the Flying Ant Space Center.
There was a roar, and the figure of the Goddess appeared in the distant sky, slowly growing larger in the field of vision.
It didn't take long for it to hover over the airport and land slowly.
Almost at the same time, the robots on the ground and the staff wearing protective clothing quickly moved towards the Goddess and conducted a simple isolation on the Goddess.
The reporter from CCTV who was invited also ran over with a camera to record this historical moment.
"Finally home."
When Zhang Jianfeng saw the astronauts come out of the cabin safely, his heart was completely relieved and his face turned into a sunflower smile. This is an exciting moment. The first astronauts to land on the moon landed safely, which means that their moon landing plan was declared successful.
"Congratulations." Chen Mo said.
"Same joy, same joy." Zhang Jianfeng laughed, not hiding his joy at all.
"Brother Mo."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Mo Nu took the sterilized small refrigerated safe that the robot took out from the Goddess and handed it to Chen Mo.
As soon as they opened it, a sealed high-pressure refrigeration tube as thick as an arm appeared in their field of vision. Through the transparent glass structure, they could see that some bodily fluids were stored inside.
"What is this?" Zhang Jianfeng asked curiously.
"Helium-3."
Zhang Jianfeng was stunned.
Army Ant Group, Building 7.
Countless reporters sat quietly at the venue, anxiously waiting for it to begin.
Today is the day the Goddess lands.
The Flying Ant Space Center does not allow foreign media reporters to enter the space base for filming, which involves some secrets and intelligence, so the press conference is determined to be held in Building 7 of the Marching Ant Group.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
"Why hasn't it started yet? Is there something wrong with the Goddess' return?"
"It should be soon."
Some reporters who had a bad temper began to complain softly.
While everyone was waiting eagerly, the venue suddenly became quiet and the lights dimmed slightly.
Everyone on the field became energetic instantly, and those who were discussing in low voices also fell silent and looked towards the stage.
With everyone paying attention, the holographic projector on the press conference stage lit up, and Chen Mo's holographic projection image appeared on it, still with a familiar smile and confidence.
"I'm sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. I'm at the Flying Ant Space Center now. The Goddess and the Sky Ant have landed safely. This lunar exploration mission has been successfully completed."
"But there is good news."
The reporter who was a little excited just now was attracted by Chen Mo's last words and started to look forward to it.
"Among the machines and equipment we sent to the moon this time, there is the helium-3 extraction robot we developed. Our robot is already working normally on the lunar surface and has successfully collected helium-3 from the lunar soil. This is what the Goddess brought back 100 grams of helium-3 collected from the lunar soil. Our company’s helium-3 collection technology has matured. In the near future, we will launch more machines to collect helium-3 on a large scale. Helium-3 will become a controlled The main fuel for nuclear fusion power plants.”
Chen Mo showed the helium-3 container to reporters.
Breaking news.
For a moment, the reporters on the scene were shocked and lost their voices.
"This is not true, this is absolutely not true."
"It can't be so fast."
"This is crazy."
Several Western reporters on the scene were in disbelief.
But the facts were right in front of them, and there was no need for Chen Mo to lie.
The Army Ant Group already has the technology and capabilities to develop lunar helium-3 resources. Finally, the fuel problem was solved, and China's controlled nuclear fusion technology has completely matured.
