While the whole world was still arguing over the launch of the Pangu spacecraft, the spacecraft completely crossed the 384,400 kilometers distance between the earth and the moon and appeared above the moon.
Moreover, Zhang Heng installed quantum communication facilities on the spacecraft, so all this happened without any delay. More than hundreds of millions of people were chatting on the Internet while watching the epic feat in front of them.
"Everyone, now the Pangu colonization spacecraft has successfully entered the moon's gravitational circle and was automatically captured by the moon. Next, after the spacecraft enters the predetermined position, we will log in on the moon, and then immediately start setting up the first batch of colonial supplies. "
The previous UN representatives were still sitting in their respective seats watching all this intently. At this time, Li Yiru had already successfully exited after completing his work. The person who replaced Li Yiru as the commentator was a handsome young engineer. As this time The commentator who attracted much attention, this young man, apart from being a little awkward at the beginning, quickly entered the state and showed excellent qualities.
"I know you all have a doubt. After all, the moon only has one-sixth of the gravity of the earth, and there is no protection from the atmosphere. The harsh environment and cold temperature are enough to kill any human being directly exposed to the moon within half a minute. So, then , why should we colonize the moon?”
"I can tell you now," the young engineer said proudly, "that the moon is the threshold and testing ground for mankind to step out of the cradle of the earth and into deep space!"
"From the perspective of the long-term development of outer space exploration, lunar exploration, lunar landing, construction of lunar bases, and entering more distant space are an inevitable development trend - because the moon is very rich in resources and is a base for human resource reserves. This It is also an important reason that attracts us to implement the lunar colonization plan.”
“First of all, there are two resources on the moon that will bring significant contributions to mankind: First, the moon can receive abundant solar energy. After all, the moon has no atmosphere, and areas with direct sunlight can even reach temperatures of hundreds of degrees; second, the moon’s mineral deposits Rich, the moon has countless high-purity iron ore and high-purity titanium alloy ore, especially rich in nuclear fusion fuel helium-3, which is the most needed fuel for the nuclear fusion technology of our stars. "
Speaking of this, the young engineer's expression showed excitement, "In addition, water resources are also one of the reasons why we chose the moon. As we all know, water is the source of life. The United States discovered a few years ago that the lunar north pole There are more than 40 craters of varying sizes, each filled with water ice, and a total of nearly 600 million tons of water ice.”
"So why does the moon, a dry and lifeless planet, produce water?" The engineer gave a clue. "Scientists believe that there may be three sources of water on the moon: one is from comets or asteroids that hit the moon; the other is The impact event released water below the lunar surface; the third is the solar wind carrying hydrogen atoms, which combine with oxygen atoms in the lunar soil to form water. Our observations confirm the third possibility of the formation of lunar water."
"After all, you must know that water is a hydrogen-oxygen compound. The formation of water is inseparable from hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms. The moon is like a big sponge ball, constantly absorbing charged particles from the sun. These charged particles are in contact with the dust on the moon's surface. The oxygen atoms reacted to create water."
Speaking of which, on the big screen, the spacecraft has successfully entered the sky above the predetermined coordinates. This is the North Pole zone of the moon. Looking down from an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters, the ground is full of large and small craters. These Meteor craters carry the aura of eternity. Some of them have only existed for tens of thousands of years, while others have existed for hundreds of millions of years!
There is no wind on the moon, so these ancient craters have not been erased by any wind erosion, and they will continue to remain until the end of the universe...
Just as countless people were staring at the screen, suddenly, the spacecraft changed direction again and landed at the predetermined location. Everyone watched all this nervously, as if they were afraid that the spacecraft would lose its balance in mid-air and allow human colonization. The first step on the moon was completely aborted before it was successful.
After all, no matter how fierce they are on the Internet, this step represents the pace of all mankind. With the collective resonance, people with malicious intentions are not willing to blaspheme.
For a moment, the whole world seemed to fall into deathly silence.
boom!
Until half an hour later, the ground in front of everyone was getting closer and closer, and then a cloud of dust suddenly rose in front of the camera, and then there was a subtle shaking on the screen. When the shaking stopped, the Pangu colonial spacecraft had successfully Landed on the surface of the moon!
The first step to landing on the moon, success!
Many people began to cheer subconsciously, and even those who hated Stellar Technology the most temporarily put aside their expressions of hatred and showed expressions of relief.
Next, the camera turned, and a group of humanoid robots that looked like skeletons and many crawler engineering vehicles gradually gathered at the exit of the spacecraft. As the door to the exit of the spacecraft slowly opened, these robot armies immediately poured out like a tide. They were carrying huge iron boxes in their hands. However, because there were no human comparisons, the viewers in front of the TV could not find anything to compare with, but they vaguely understood that the size of these iron boxes was definitely not small.
"Now, our construction robot has successfully landed on the moon. In fact, there are hundreds of humans on board the spacecraft. They will be the first residents in human history to move to the moon. But we don't need them when building a colony. "
When these robots appeared, the audiences in front of TV sets around the world were even more shocked. Although they had long known that Stellar Technology had technology that far exceeded reality, when those robots were almost exactly the same as those in the "Terminator" movie, everyone still felt... It gave me the illusion of watching a science fiction movie.
As the robot army started to move, countless iron boxes were opened, revealing the glass-like flakes inside. The word immediately popped up in everyone's mind - dome!
Just like the structure of a stadium, many advanced stadiums have installed domes. In fact, this is a kind of glass that can block the invasion of wind and rain, but does not hinder the sunlight. Obviously, these glasses are necessary to isolate the inside and outside of the colony and create a necessary building suitable for human habitation.
"Everyone guessed it right, this is the roof of our colony - a kind of polymer organic glass, which has extremely strong self-adhesive ability and can be seamlessly connected during construction. This material is highly ornamental. , We will not let our colonists have some obsessive-compulsive behavior when looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle."
The young engineer was very humorous. He continued to say proudly, "In addition, the colony also has artificial gravity facilities, which are actually anti-gravity reversal applications that can make the gravity within the colony equivalent to that of the earth. In addition, We also brought seedlings of various plants and fertilized eggs of hundreds of animals. When everything is on track, the residents of the colony will enjoy food that is no less good than anywhere else on earth.”
"And all of this is free for the colonies. The only thing you need to do is to pick up the phone at hand and dial the number at the bottom of the screen, XXXXXXX. Perhaps you will be the second batch of lunar residents in human history. Colonist!"
