Chapter 183, Moon Cloud Sea Base

At the Fuyun Group Space Center in Longling Town, Sanjiang District, Meijiang City, Li Fu walked into the command center with a smile on his face. For nearly two months, Li Fu had been accompanying Wang Yun in the imperial capital, and Wang Yun successfully left Li Fu The next fat boy will be named Li Wanzhou, because this boy was born more than 20 days later than the expected date of delivery.

If Li Fu hadn't known that both he and Wang Yun were Yuanli practitioners, and the offspring they conceived would have better genes, so it would take longer, and he insisted on waiting until the time to give birth naturally, otherwise he would have had a caesarean section long ago.

As a father for the first time, Li Fu now smiles all the time, is in a good mood, and is very powerful when doing things.

"Brother Fu, congratulations, when will you invite me to dinner?"

Chen Bin, Yu Liang, Cao Haitao, Yang Yiping and others were discussing the construction of a lunar base belonging to the Fuyun Group on the moon, and were preparing to carry out mining, scientific research, etc. on the moon. Seeing the smiling Li Fu, Yu Liang asked with a smile.

"That's right, when will you invite me to dinner? I didn't invite you to dinner when we got married. This time, we must not miss it."

Yang Yiping also joined in the fun.

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, please invite everyone, everyone must come."

Li Fu was in a very happy mood now, so he naturally agreed readily.

After some pleasantries, everyone quickly got back to work and began to continue discussing the moon base.

"Brother Fu, there are not many good places left on the front side of the moon. Only the seas of clouds, cold seas, and fogs in these months are still unowned. The other large areas of the lunar seas have all been occupied by our Chinese officials. That means the Wells area is occupied by Uncle Sam.”

"Now we need to determine an area to build a lunar base. We have discussed and discussed, and we all feel that the sea of ​​​​clouds is still good. The data sent back by the resource exploration satellites launched in the past also shows that the resources in this area are very rich. Among them, the rare earth resources, iron ore resources, etc. are quite good, and the terrain is relatively flat. Although it is still far behind the good land occupied by the country, it can be regarded as a tall one among the short ones. "

Cao Haitao, the general person in charge of the construction of the lunar base, opened a lunar earth through a virtual machine, pointed to an area on the moon and spoke in detail, seeking Li Fu's opinion.

"Since everyone thinks that Unkai is good, let's settle on Unkai. After the construction of the lunar base is completed, our next plan is to mine asteroids in small zones. We must prepare for this matter as early as possible and come up with a detailed and reliable plan. come out."

Li Fu thought carefully in his mind, then nodded slowly, and then began to give instructions to go to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids. The space solar farm is still under construction, and it has reached the level of smelting asteroids. Therefore, the matter of mining asteroids is also on the agenda.

"Don't worry, I have been working hard on this matter. Now the super large spaceship we are building in Sky City is used to mine asteroids. As soon as it is built, it can go to the small belt to mine asteroids."

Chen Bin, who is responsible for this work, nodded. Mining asteroids is a very challenging job. Not to mention, the straight-line distance from the earth to the asteroid belt is 1-2.6 astronomical units. For example, Kilometers are nearly 150 million to 400 million kilometers.

Such a long distance places very high demands on spacecraft, astronauts, life support systems, etc. Not to mention dragging asteroids back to the earth, so special spacecraft must be built in space. to complete this task.

"Ah That's good."

Li Fu nodded with satisfaction. Li Fu felt reassured when Chen Bin handled the matter. This is why Li Fu would leave such an important matter to Chen Bin.

…

At the Fuyun Group Space Center, more than a dozen large-scale "Hercules" aerospace planes are parked quietly on the runway. Each aerospace plane is full of supplies, all of which are used to build the lunar base. Among them The interiors of the seven or eight aerospace planes are directly filled with the entire houses that have been built. When you get to the moon, you only need to transport these houses out and they can be used on the moon.

This kind of operation can greatly reduce the time and workload of lunar base construction. Everything is built on the earth side first. When you get to the moon side, just find a place, lay a foundation, and move the house there.

Of course, all this is also due to the huge belly of the "Hercules" aerospace plane. It is more than 50 meters long and more than 30 meters high. The internal space is very large, enough to fit a building.

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, space planes one after another took off from the runway, and soon broke through the sky and entered space. They continued to orbit the earth in space, changing to bigger ones. After the initial velocity, it went straight towards the moon.

On the other side of the moon, here at Chang'e City, Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others, who had already arrived at Chang'e City, drove a lunar rover loaded with materials for building a lunar base and set off towards the sea of ​​clouds area selected by the company.

Now it is quite simple to build a lunar base, because there are already many Chinese lunar bases, lunar cities, etc. on the moon. You only need to go to the selected location to lay the airport and lay the foundation in advance, and the rest is waiting for you. The Space Shuttle will just transport batch after batch of materials for the construction of the lunar base.

This is also the reason why China was able to occupy all the good sites on the front of the moon in less than half a year, because it is very simple to open a lunar sub-base now. If necessary, it can be built everywhere.

The desolate lunar surface is not too desolate now. Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others drove the lunar rover on the lunar surface. Every short time, they would encounter a lunar base or a lunar mining site, etc. Many large engineering vehicles were also driving fast on the lunar surface.

In the lunar sea of ​​clouds, Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others' convoy arrived at the reserved area very smoothly. The lunar engineering vehicle began to work. First, it cleaned the lunar surface and pushed some rocks and other things away with the engineering vehicle. Soon, a huge flat area was sorted out.

Then it started piling. The lunar engineering vehicle began to drill holes according to the planned areas and locations. After the holes were drilled one by one, thick steel plates that had been designed in advance began to lay the airport. These steel plates that were tens of meters thick were all smelted by the steel mill on the side of Chang'e City on the moon.

Each steel plate has a rod that can enter the hole, and they can be inlaid with each other to form a larger plane. Everyone began to control the lunar rover and began to work nervously.

At this time, in the void between the earth and the moon, more than a dozen aerospace planes have been flying for more than 3 hours. Soon they will reach the lunar orbit and then land directly on the Yunhai side.

An airport composed entirely of steel plates slowly took shape on the Yunhai lunar surface. Five runways with a length of more than a thousand meters and an airport with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters are enough to meet the needs of building the Yunhai lunar base at this stage.

"Captain Luo, is the airport built? We have already started flying around in the lunar orbit."

A hearty voice came from Luo Xiaoyao's intercom. The scientists of the Academy of Sciences of Fuyun Group who came with the team were conducting the final inspection and calculation. Soon they made an OK gesture to Luo Xiaoyao, indicating that the aerospace plane could land.

"It's time to land!"

Luo Xiaoyao's order was issued, and soon from space, an aerospace plane dived into the moon like a duck diving, and headed straight to the airport on the Yunhai side.

With the slight vibration of the ground, the aerospace plane landed steadily on the airport runway that had just been built not long ago. Soon, its huge belly slowly opened, and one after another large lunar engineering vehicles drove out of its huge belly. These lunar engineering vehicles were also specially developed by the Fuyun Group Scientific Research Institute and were specially used to build a lunar base.

Cao Haitao, the person in charge of the Fuyun Group's lunar sea base, also walked out of the aerospace plane in astronaut clothes and looked carefully at this desolate world. It was inevitable that he felt novel when he came to the moon for the first time. Looking into the space, the earth was emitting bright light, a blue planet.

After all the cargo in an aerospace plane was unloaded, the aerospace plane soon took off again. It will fly to Chang'e City. There are still a large number of goods and personnel in Chang'e City waiting to return to the earth with it. The most of them are rare earth mines mined on the moon. It is not easy to come to the moon, and the cost is also very high. Naturally, it cannot return to the earth empty-handed, and resources must be used reasonably.

After one aerospace plane unloaded its cargo, another one quickly landed. This time, they were all large, fully built lunar base houses. These houses were all made of alloy materials, which were very light in themselves. In addition, the gravity of the moon was only 1/6 of that of the earth, so they were easily carried down by the lunar engineering vehicle.

Then they were installed in the position where the foundation had been laid, and soon houses appeared on the moon, forming a lunar base.

More than a dozen aerospace planes came down one after another, and then flew away quickly. After the installation of houses, a large number of materials were either directly in the houses or transported by aerospace planes alone.

More than ten hours later, a not-so-large lunar base appeared in the lunar sea of ​​clouds. Fuyun Group also officially announced that the area of ​​more than 3 million square kilometers around the lunar sea of ​​clouds was officially included in the sovereignty of Fuyun Group.

When this news reached Ichiro Yagyu, the person in charge of the space field of Jiaobenji, he couldn't help but jump up, because the lunar sea of ​​clouds was also the lunar base area chosen by Jiaobenji. He didn't expect that someone would get there first.
