I can see the commodity price curve

Three years later, Zhang Yue stood in the massive launch control center.

Looking through the glass at the neatly arranged and magnificent lunar landing fleet, I was filled with emotion.

This fleet consists of multiple spaceships and is designed to accommodate one hundred people.

These 100 people are elites carefully selected from around the world, covering top talents in various fields.

There are scientists, engineers, doctors, astronauts, and so on.

Although people had set foot on the moon before, this was the first time such a large-scale lunar landing operation had been carried out, and its significance is self-evident.

"Mr. Zhang, everything is ready, and the fleet can depart at any time," Assistant Xiao Wang excitedly reported as he ran over.

Zhang Yue nodded slightly and said with a firm gaze, "Okay, notify everyone to prepare to depart!"
This is a crucial moment in humanity's new journey to the moon; we must ensure everything goes smoothly.

As the countdown ended, a tremendous roar resounded, and the fleet slowly rose into the air, heading towards the vast universe.

At first, everything went smoothly. The spacecraft flew steadily in its predetermined orbit, and all instruments and equipment showed normal operation.

The fleet members remained highly vigilant, closely monitoring the surrounding environment and the ship's status.

However, when the fleet reached the second cosmic velocity, the alarm suddenly blared sharply.

"What's going on?" Zhang Yue asked loudly in the command center, his brows furrowing instantly.

"Mr. Zhang, the spaceship on the left has malfunctioned!" the monitoring personnel reported anxiously. "The hull has been hit by a meteorite the size of a fist, and the pressure inside the cabin is dropping rapidly. Some equipment is also malfunctioning."

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "Notify the captain of the left spaceship to report the specific situation, and at the same time activate the emergency plan."

All spacecraft maintained formation, closely monitored their surroundings, and took precautions against further meteorite impacts.

Soon, the voice of the captain of the left spaceship came over: "Mr. Zhang, this is Li Ming, the captain of the left spaceship."

Currently, the hull has been smashed open with a hole about 20 centimeters in diameter, and oxygen is leaking rapidly from the cabin. Some electronic equipment has malfunctioned, but the propulsion system has not been affected for the time being.

However, at this rate of leakage, the oxygen inside the chamber can only last for a maximum of 30 minutes.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath and calmly said, "Li Ming, you guys first calm the crew down, have everyone put on their spacesuits and take protective measures. I'll arrange for someone to go outside the cabin for repairs immediately. You must hold on!"

"Understood, General Manager Zhang! We will definitely stay at our posts!" Li Ming replied firmly.

Zhang Yue quickly turned to the communications officer: "Notify the maintenance team to prepare for outboard maintenance immediately."

Select two experienced and physically fit maintenance personnel to repair the hull leaks as quickly as possible.

Old Chen, the head of the maintenance team, immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Zhang, let me and Xiao Zhang go."

We have conducted countless simulations and training sessions for this type of maintenance mission on Earth, and we are confident in completing the task.

Zhang Yue looked at Old Chen and Little Zhang, patted them on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you two must be careful."

This mission is related to the safety of the entire fleet, as well as the lives of all the crew members on the left-hand ship.

I will be closely monitoring your situation from the command center and will provide support as needed.

Old Chen and Xiao Zhang nodded heavily, quickly put on their heavy spacesuits, and entered the airlock.

As the pressure in the airlock gradually decreased, the hatch slowly opened, and they carefully floated out of the spaceship.

The outside universe was pitch black, with only the distant twinkling stars and the faint light emanating from the spaceship on the left, which had been blasted open by a meteorite.

With their rich experience and well-trained skills, Lao Chen and Xiao Zhang quickly drifted to the left of the spaceship.

As they approached the ship, they discovered the situation was more complicated than they had imagined.

There are some sharp fragments around the hole created by the meteorite, and the ship's hull is damaged and some parts of the structure are deformed, which has brought great difficulties to the repair work.

"Old Chen, the situation around this hole isn't looking good. These fragments could tear our spacesuits, and the deformed structure won't be easy to deal with," Xiao Zhang said worriedly.

Old Chen carefully observed the surrounding environment and calmly said, "Xiao Zhang, don't panic."

We carefully cleaned away the debris and then repaired the hole with special tape and metal plates.

Be careful to move gently and avoid touching other parts to prevent further damage to the hull.

The two began to carefully clean up the debris, moving it with extreme caution.

However, just as they were halfway through cleaning, an accident occurred.

A piece of debris hidden in the corner suddenly sprang up and slid toward Xiao Zhang's spacesuit.

"Xiao Zhang, watch out!" Old Chen shouted, quickly reaching out to block.

But it was too late. The debris still tore through Xiao Zhang's arm in his spacesuit, and oxygen began to leak out from the tear.

"Oh no!" Xiao Zhang exclaimed in alarm. "Old Chen, my spacesuit is leaking air, and oxygen is being lost rapidly."

Old Chen quickly took out spare tape from his toolbox and, while rapidly repairing Xiao Zhang's spacesuit, comforted him:

"Xiao Zhang, don't panic, stay calm. We have backup plans, hang in there!"

Thanks to Lao Chen's emergency treatment, the tear in Xiao Zhang's spacesuit was finally temporarily sealed.

But at this point, Xiao Zhang had very little oxygen left in his body, and due to tension and lack of oxygen, his body began to tremble.

"Old Chen, I... I feel like I can't hold on much longer," Xiao Zhang said weakly.

Old Chen held Xiao Zhang's hand tightly and encouraged him, "Xiao Zhang, hang in there! We'll be able to complete the mission soon."

Think about it, we've prepared for this moon landing for so long, we can't let it all go to waste here.

And the crew on the left-hand spaceship are still waiting for us to rescue them.

Hearing Lao Chen's words, Xiao Zhang's fighting spirit rekindled. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Chen, you're right. I can't give up. Let's continue the mission!"

The two rallied and sped up the cleanup of the debris.

Finally, all the surrounding debris was cleared away.

Next, they began to repair the hole using special tape and metal plates.

Old Chen skillfully applied tape around the opening, then carefully covered the opening with a metal plate and secured it with bolts.

However, just when they thought they were close to success, new problems arose.

Due to the deformation of the hull, the metal plate could not completely fit the opening, leaving a gap in the middle, from which oxygen continued to leak out.

"What can we do? This kind of repair won't work at all," Xiao Zhang said anxiously.

Old Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Zhang, we have a backup plan."

Take out the sealant from the tool kit and apply it to the gaps; that should temporarily seal the leaks.

The two quickly took out sealant and began applying it to the gaps.

The sealant gradually solidified, forming a thick protective film that effectively prevented oxygen leakage.

"We did it!" Xiao Zhang shouted excitedly.

Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, now let's check if the repaired area is secure."

Once everything is confirmed to be alright, we can return to the spaceship.

The two carefully inspected the repaired areas, and after confirming that there were no problems, they began to drift towards their spaceship.

However, just as they were about to reach the spaceship, they encountered new trouble.

It turned out that during the time they were out of the capsule for maintenance, some small meteorites appeared in the vicinity.

These meteorites were hurtling towards them at extremely high speeds, and the situation was very dangerous.

"Old Chen, there's a meteorite! What do we do?" Xiao Zhang shouted in terror.

Old Chen quickly surveyed the surroundings and calmly said, "Xiao Zhang, don't panic."

We'll use the spacecraft's gravity to change our trajectory and avoid these meteorites.

With their rich experience and agile skills, the two skillfully used the spaceship's gravity to dodge left and right, finally avoiding most of the meteorites.

However, a few smaller meteorites still struck their spacesuits, but fortunately, they did not cause major damage.

Finally, they returned safely to their spaceship.

After entering the airlock, they took off their spacesuits and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"Old Chen, this was really close, we almost didn't make it back," Xiao Zhang said, still shaken.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Yes, but we still successfully completed the mission."

"Immediately inform General Manager Zhang that the vulnerability in the left-side spaceship has been repaired."

The correspondent immediately reported the news to Zhang Yue.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue finally felt relieved.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Great job!"
Inform the captain of the ship on the left to check the hull and equipment; once everything is in order, continue following the fleet.

Soon, the voice of Li Ming, the captain of the left-hand spaceship, came over: "Mr. Zhang, this is the left-hand spaceship."

After inspection, the hull leaks have been repaired, the cabin pressure has returned to normal, and the equipment has basically returned to normal operation.

We can continue following the fleet.

Zhang Yue said with satisfaction, "Very good, Li Ming. You've done an excellent job."

"Remain vigilant, closely monitor the surrounding environment, and ensure the fleet's safe arrival on the moon."

However, just when everyone thought the danger had passed, a new crisis quietly descended.

As the fleet continued its flight, it suddenly received an emergency alert from Earth.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the Earth Command Center."

We have detected a strong solar storm heading in your direction, expected to arrive in 30 minutes.

The solar storm could severely damage the spacecraft's electronic equipment and communication systems. Please take immediate protective measures.

Zhang Yue's expression turned very serious, and he immediately said, "Received, Earth Command Center."

We will immediately take protective measures and closely monitor the situation of the solar storm.

Zhang Yue quickly convened an emergency meeting with the core members of the fleet.

"Everyone, we've encountered a new crisis—a solar storm. Does anyone have any good solutions?"

Engineer Xiao Li spoke first: "Mr. Zhang, we can adjust the spacecraft's attitude."

The goal is to minimize the area of ​​the spacecraft exposed to solar storms, while simultaneously activating the spacecraft's electromagnetic protection system to enhance the protection of electronic equipment.

Scientist Dr. Wang added, "In addition to these measures, we can also allow the crew to enter the core protected area inside the spacecraft, where there is a thicker protective layer that can better protect their safety."

In addition, we need to back up important data in advance to prevent data loss due to damage to the communication system.

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Everyone's suggestions are very good. Let's implement these plans immediately."

Notify all crew members to enter the core protection area and take protective measures.

Engineers adjusted the spacecraft's attitude and activated the electromagnetic protection system.

"Communications officer, back up important data and maintain contact with Earth command center, reporting the situation at any time."

All members quickly sprang into action and began preparations according to the established plan.

However, just as they were working hard, an unexpected situation arose.

During the adjustment of the spacecraft's attitude, the propulsion system of the right-hand spacecraft suddenly malfunctioned, causing the spacecraft to be unable to adjust in the intended direction.

"Mr. Zhang, the right-side spacecraft's propulsion system has malfunctioned, and it cannot adjust its attitude!" the monitoring personnel reported anxiously.

Zhang Yue's heart tightened, and he immediately said, "Notify the captain of the right-hand spaceship and report the specific situation. At the same time, arrange for maintenance personnel to prepare for an outboard repair."

The voice of Zhao Gang, the captain of the right-hand spaceship, came over: "Mr. Zhang, this is the right-hand spaceship."

A critical component of the power system failed, rendering it unable to function properly.

We are currently trying to adjust it manually, but the results are not ideal.

Zhang Yue decisively said, "Zhao Gang, you should stop manually adjusting the equipment to prevent further damage. I will arrange for maintenance personnel to come out of the cabin for repairs. Please cooperate with them."

Old Chen and Xiao Zhang from the maintenance team stepped forward again: "Manager Zhang, let us go."

We have experience with extravehicular repairs and are quite familiar with this situation.

Zhang Yue looked at them and said with some concern, "Old Chen, Little Zhang, you've just finished a maintenance task and you're still very tired."

This mission is very dangerous. Are you all capable?

Old Chen said firmly, "Mr. Zhang, no problem. We've rested for a while and regained some strength."

Moreover, in this emergency, if we don't step up, who will? We will definitely complete the mission!

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Okay, you must be careful."

This mission is crucial to the safety of the entire fleet; the propulsion system must be repaired before the solar storm arrives.

Old Chen and Xiao Zhang put on their spacesuits again and entered the airlock.

When they floated out of the spaceship, they found that the situation outside was more dangerous than before.

The high-energy particles and radiation from the solar storm have begun to affect the surrounding environment, and various instruments on their spacesuits show that the radiation intensity is rising sharply.

"Old Chen, the radiation is too strong. Will our spacesuits be able to withstand it?" Xiao Zhang said worriedly.

Looking at the radiation monitor on his spacesuit, Old Chen calmly said, "Xiao Zhang, don't panic."

Our spacesuits have a special protective layer that can withstand a certain level of radiation.

However, we need to complete the mission as soon as possible and minimize our time exposed to the elements.

The two quickly drifted towards the spaceship on the right.

When they arrived at the location of the spacecraft's propulsion system, they found that the damaged component was in a very narrow space, making repairs extremely difficult.

"Old Chen, this part is in such a tricky location, it's going to be very difficult to repair," Xiao Zhang said, frowning.

Old Chen carefully observed the surrounding environment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Zhang, let's divide the work and cooperate."

You're in charge of passing tools and materials outside, while I go inside to do the repairs.

Please be aware of your surroundings and warn me immediately if there is any danger.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, Lao Chen, be careful."

Old Chen carefully crawled into the narrow space and began to repair the damaged parts.

Due to the confined space, his movements were severely restricted, and each action required a great deal of effort.

Moreover, the radiation and high temperature brought by the solar storm made him feel very uncomfortable, and sweat kept running down his forehead, blurring his vision.

"Old Chen, how are you? Can you hold on?" Xiao Zhang asked anxiously from outside.

Old Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, Xiao Zhang. Keep passing the tools around, I'm almost done fixing it."

However, just as Lao Chen was about to finish the repairs, another accident occurred.

A piece of space debris, blown up by a solar storm, suddenly flew towards them at an extremely high speed.

"Old Chen, watch out! There's space debris!" Xiao Zhang shouted in alarm.

Hearing the shout, Old Chen quickly looked up and saw a huge piece of space debris flying towards him.

He tried to dodge, but the confined space made it impossible to move. "It's over!" Old Chen thought to himself.

At this critical moment, disregarding his own safety, Xiao Zhang quickly reached out and used a tool to block the space debris.

Although the space debris was deflected, it still grazed past Old Chen's spacesuit, leaving a long gash in it.

"Old Chen, are you alright?" Xiao Zhang asked anxiously.

Old Chen glanced at the hole in his spacesuit, a wave of fear washing over him, but he forced himself to remain calm and said:

"I'm fine, Xiao Zhang. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been in danger. Now let's continue with the repair work."

The two refocused their efforts and finally completed the repairs to the propulsion system before the solar storm arrived.

Old Chen crawled out of the narrow space, and the two quickly returned to their spaceship.

After entering the airlock, they took off their spacesuits and found that the spacesuits had been deformed by radiation and high temperatures. The tear in Lao Chen's spacesuit also made them feel very scared.

"Old Chen, this was really close. If it weren't for your experience, we might not have made it back," Xiao Zhang said, still shaken.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't say that. We're a team, and we should help each other when we're in danger."

And this is also our duty; for this lunar mission, we must overcome any danger, no matter how great.

The communications officer immediately reported the successful repair to Zhang Yue.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue excitedly exclaimed, "Great job!"
Inform the captain of the right-hand spaceship to check the propulsion system. Once confirmed to be functioning correctly, continue following the fleet.

Soon, Zhao Gang, the captain of the right-hand spaceship, spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, this is the right-hand spaceship."

After inspection, the propulsion system has been restored to normal, and we can continue to follow the fleet.

Zhang Yue said with satisfaction, "Very good, Zhao Gang."

You have done an excellent job. The entire fleet will now proceed, closely monitoring the solar storm situation to ensure a safe arrival on the Moon.

In the following period, the fleet successfully withstood the solar storm. Although some equipment was affected, the overall flight was not impacted.

After a long flight, the fleet finally approached the moon.

"Mr. Zhang, we are about to enter lunar orbit," the navigator reported excitedly.

Zhang Yue gazed at the familiar moon outside the window, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

He said, "Okay, notify all crew members to prepare for landing."

This is the first large-scale lunar landing operation in human history, and we must successfully complete the mission!

As the fleet gradually entered lunar orbit, each spacecraft began adjusting its attitude in preparation for landing.

Under Zhang Yue's command, the one hundred elite crew members carried out the final preparations in an orderly manner.

They knew that an unprecedented and great journey was about to begin, and that they would become heroes in the history of humankind's exploration of the universe.

Soon, the first spacecraft successfully landed on the lunar surface.

Following that, the other spacecraft also landed safely one after another.

The moment the crew opened the hatch and stepped onto the lunar surface, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"We succeeded! Humanity's dream of a large-scale lunar landing has finally come true!" Zhang Yue shouted excitedly.

The crew members stepped out of the spacecraft, gazing at the unfamiliar and mysterious moon before them, their hearts filled with awe and pride.

Looking at the vast, desolate surface of the moon before him, Zhang Yue took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Everyone, we have embarked on this great journey. Our next task is to establish a human base on the moon and begin a new chapter!"

Everyone, please divide into groups and begin your work!

Engineer Li and the members of the infrastructure team gathered around. Li frowned and said:
"Mr. Zhang, the surface of the moon is very different from that of Earth. There is no atmosphere to protect it, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large."

Temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Celsius during the day and plummet to below -100 degrees Celsius at night, with gravity only one-sixth that of Earth. This presents an enormous challenge for infrastructure construction.

Zhang Yue patted Xiao Li on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Xiao Li, difficulties are inevitable, but we came here from Earth to overcome them."

"You should first investigate how to utilize local lunar materials, such as lunar regolith, to see if you can find a suitable construction plan."

Xiao Li nodded and led his team members to get busy.

They first used instruments to conduct a detailed analysis of the lunar soil and found that it contained a variety of metallic elements and minerals. Although the texture was loose, it might be usable as a building material after special processing.

After several days and nights of repeated trials, Xiao Li excitedly ran to Zhang Yue to report:
"Mr. Zhang, we have discovered that when lunar soil is mixed with a special adhesive and then fired at high temperatures, it can form a sturdy brick."

Moreover, these bricks have excellent radiation resistance and heat insulation properties, making them perfectly suitable for use as building materials!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue smiled with satisfaction: "Great, Xiao Li! You did a wonderful job. Now, let's proceed with this plan and begin constructing the initial framework of the base as soon as possible."

The infrastructure team immediately sprang into action. They first used robots to dig the foundation pits for the base, and then began to build the walls using the prepared bricks.

However, new problems arose during the setup process.

Because of the moon's low gravity, the friction between the bricks is also low, causing the wall to tilt when it reaches a certain height.

"Mr. Zhang, this wall is unstable. At this rate, it could collapse very easily," Xiao Li said anxiously.

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Li, could you add some connecting structures between the bricks, such as using metal rods or special glue to reinforce them and increase the stability of the wall?"

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Zhang, your idea is great, let's try it right away."

After some attempts and improvements, the wall finally stabilized.

After months of effort, the initial framework of the base has finally been completed, including several main parts such as residential areas, research areas, and energy areas.

Meanwhile, the agricultural team was also busy.

Agricultural expert Professor Lin and his team were conducting plant cultivation experiments in a specially designed greenhouse.

Professor Lin looked at the few sparse seedlings in the greenhouse and frowned, saying:
"The environment on the moon is too harsh. There is no natural light, and the temperature and humidity are difficult to control. Moreover, there are not enough nutrients in the soil, so these seedlings grow very slowly."

Team member Xiao Wang said, "Professor Lin, could we simulate Earth's environment and provide the greenhouse with artificial lighting and suitable temperature and humidity?"

Professor Lin nodded and said, "That's one way, but artificial lighting is very expensive and consumes a lot of energy."

We also need to find ways to improve the soil's nutrient levels.

After some research and experimentation, Professor Lin discovered that human household waste and excrement can be specially processed into organic fertilizer, which can then be added to the soil to provide nutrients for plants.

At the same time, they use solar panels to collect energy to provide artificial lighting and regulate temperature and humidity in the greenhouse.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the plants in the greenhouse gradually grew lush and green, including green vegetables, red tomatoes, and golden corn.

Professor Lin excitedly ran up to Zhang Yue and said, "Mr. Zhang, our agricultural experiment has achieved initial success. In the future, we will be able to eat fresh vegetables that we grow ourselves on the moon!"

Zhang Yue said happily, "That's great, Professor Lin! This is of great significance to our long-term survival and development on the moon."

Next, you need to continue expanding the planting scale and research more plant varieties suitable for growth in the lunar environment.

On the industrial team's side, mechanical engineer Xiao Zhang was fretting over some mechanical equipment brought from Earth.

Xiao Zhang said to Zhang Yue, "Mr. Zhang, these machines work well on Earth, but on the Moon, due to the lower gravity, the friction and stress on many parts have changed, causing the equipment to be unstable and frequently malfunction."

Zhang Yue said, "Xiao Zhang, could you make some modifications to these devices, such as adjusting the weight and shape of the components, adding some shock absorption and stabilization devices, to make them adapt to the lunar environment?"

Xiao Zhang nodded and led his team to begin modifying the equipment.

After countless trials and adjustments, they finally got most of the equipment running normally.

Using these devices, they began mining mineral resources on the moon, extracting various metallic elements to provide raw materials for the construction of the base and industrial development.

However, a new crisis was encountered during the mining process.

Once, while they were mining a vein, they suddenly triggered a small lunar earthquake.

The entire mining area shook violently, posing a huge danger to equipment and personnel.

"Mr. Zhang, something terrible has happened! There's been an earthquake in the mining area!" the monitoring personnel reported anxiously.

Zhang Yue immediately said, "Notify the personnel in the mining area to evacuate to a safe area immediately!"

Xiao Zhang, your industrial team must immediately cease mining operations, inspect the equipment for damage, and simultaneously investigate the cause of this earthquake to prevent a recurrence.

After some investigation, Xiao Zhang discovered that the earthquake was caused by their failure to fully consider the geological structure inside the moon during mining operations. The excavation of the veins disrupted the original balance, thus triggering the earthquake.

Zhang Yue said seriously, "Xiao Zhang, this is a lesson."

In the future, when mining mineral resources, it is essential to conduct detailed geological exploration first, formulate a scientifically sound mining plan, and ensure safety.

Xiao Zhang said with shame, "Mr. Zhang, it was our oversight. We will definitely learn from this lesson and strictly follow the procedures in the future."

The members of the ecology team are also working to improve the lunar environment.

Ecologist Dr. Chen and his team planted some cold-resistant, drought-resistant, and radiation-resistant plants around the base, hoping to gradually change the ecological environment on the lunar surface.

However, these plants grow very slowly, and many of them are difficult to survive.

“Dr. Chen, this plant is having a very difficult time growing. Should we change our strategy?” said team member Xiao Li.

After thinking for a moment, Dr. Chen said, "We can set up some special protective devices around the plants, such as transparent protective covers, to provide a relatively stable microenvironment for the plants and reduce the impact of harsh external environments."

At the same time, we can use gene editing technology to improve plants and enhance their adaptability.

After a period of effort, the plants they cultivated gradually adapted to the lunar environment and began to thrive.

Some small insects have also been introduced into this ecosystem, contributing to plant pollination and ecological balance.

On the communications team's side, communications expert Engineer Wang is debugging the communication equipment between the base and Earth.

Engineer Wang frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, although we have established a communication base station on the moon, there are still some delays and interference issues in communication with Earth, especially when solar activity is intense, the communication signal will be severely affected."

Zhang Yue said, "Engineer Wang, this problem must be solved. Communication is a vital guarantee for us to maintain contact with Earth, and it is also the key to the normal operation of the base."

Could you research a more advanced communication technology, such as quantum communication, to improve the stability and speed of communication?

Engineer Wang nodded and said, "President Zhang, quantum communication is a very promising field, but our technology is not mature enough yet, and we need to invest a lot of time and energy in research and experimentation."

However, I will lead my team to give it our all and strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.

In the days that followed, Wang and his team worked day and night in the laboratory, and after countless failures and attempts, they finally made some progress.

They successfully achieved small-scale quantum communication within the base, laying the foundation for further quantum communication with Earth.

The science team members are researching how to utilize the moon's unique environment for scientific experiments and technological innovation.

Dr. Li, a scientist, and his team were conducting low-temperature physics experiments in a special laboratory.

Dr. Li said excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, the low-temperature environment on the moon provides excellent conditions for our low-temperature physics research."

We have discovered some physical phenomena that are difficult to observe on Earth, and these discoveries may have a significant impact on future technological development.

Zhang Yue said, "Dr. Li, you should continue your in-depth research and strive to achieve more scientific research results. At the same time, you should transform these research results into practical applications to provide technical support for the construction and development of the base."

However, just as everyone was working hard for the construction and development of the base, a sudden crisis struck.

One day, the base's energy system suddenly malfunctioned, causing a power outage throughout the base.

"Mr. Zhang, the energy system has malfunctioned, and all areas are without power!" the monitoring personnel reported anxiously.

Zhang Yue immediately said, "Notify the energy team to quickly investigate the cause of the fault and restore power supply as soon as possible."

Other teams should prepare for emergencies and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

Old Zhou, the leader of the energy team, led his team members to the energy zone as quickly as possible.

After some inspection, Lao Zhou discovered that the solar panels had been corroded by lunar dust during long-term use, resulting in a decrease in power generation efficiency. In addition, some battery packs had also aged and been damaged, which caused the entire energy system to malfunction.

"Mr. Zhang, the situation is quite serious."

"The solar panels need cleaning and repair, and the battery packs also need to be replaced, but this will take time and resources," Lao Zhou said.

Zhang Yue frowned and said, "Old Zhou, the power supply to the base is currently interrupted, and many pieces of equipment cannot operate normally, which will affect our lives and scientific research work."

You need to develop a solution as soon as possible, prioritizing the restoration of power to key areas.

Old Zhou nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang, we plan to first use the base's emergency power reserves to provide electricity to key areas such as the residential area, communication area, and medical area."

Then, personnel were organized to clean and repair the solar panels, while new battery packs were brought in from Earth to replace them.

Zhang Yue said, "Okay, let's proceed with this plan. Lao Zhou, you need to speed things up and try to restore the base's normal power supply as soon as possible."

Thanks to the efforts of the energy team, power was gradually restored to key areas of the base.

However, the work of cleaning and repairing the solar panels encountered difficulties.

Because there is no atmosphere on the moon's surface, dust will remain suspended in the air for a long time.

Moreover, lunar dust is extremely fine and can easily adhere to equipment and personnel, posing a health hazard.

"Old Zhou, this lunar dust is too difficult to clean, and it's very easy for it to re-attach. What should we do?" said team member Xiao Wang.

After thinking for a moment, Lao Zhou said, "We can make a special protective suit that can prevent lunar dust from adhering to it."

At the same time, high-pressure gas is used to blow away dust from the surface of the solar panels, improving cleaning efficiency.

After some trial and error, they finally found an effective cleaning method.

After several days of effort, the solar panels gradually returned to normal power generation efficiency.

Meanwhile, the new battery packs transferred from Earth successfully arrived on the Moon, and the energy team quickly replaced the aging battery packs.

After this crisis, Zhang Yue realized that the construction and development of the base still faced many unknown challenges and risks.

He convened a debriefing meeting with the heads of each group.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this energy system failure has served as a wake-up call for us."

Our construction and development on the moon are still in their early stages, and there are still many problems to be solved.

"We must learn from this incident, strengthen the maintenance and management of all systems, and improve our ability to respond to emergencies," Zhang Yue said solemnly.

The leaders of each group nodded in agreement.

Xiao Li said, "Mr. Zhang, our infrastructure team will strengthen the inspection and maintenance of the base buildings to ensure their safety and stability."

Professor Lin said, "Our agricultural team will further optimize the greenhouse's environmental control system to improve the plants' resilience and ensure food supply."

Xiao Zhang said, "Our industrial team will strengthen the monitoring and maintenance of equipment, and formulate more scientific and reasonable mining plans to avoid similar earthquake crises from happening again."

Dr. Chen said, "Our ecology team will continue to study how to improve the lunar environment and enhance the stability of the ecosystem."

Wang said, "Our communication team will accelerate the research and application of quantum communication technology to improve the quality and reliability of communication."

Dr. Li said, "Our scientific team will continue to utilize the unique environment of the moon to conduct scientific experiments and technological innovations, providing more technical support for the development of the base."

Zhang Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good, everyone has clear goals and plans."

I believe that with the joint efforts of all of us, we will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

To establish a prosperous, stable, and sustainable base on the moon, making a greater contribution to humanity's space exploration!

In the days that followed, each group continued to work on the construction and development of the base according to the established plan.

As time went on, the base expanded in size and became more and more comprehensive in function.

Residential areas became more comfortable and safer, agricultural areas were able to provide sufficient food supplies, and industrial areas were able to produce all the necessary equipment and materials.

The ecological zone has gradually formed a relatively stable ecosystem, the communication zone has achieved efficient communication with the Earth, and the science and technology zone has continuously achieved new scientific research results.

A year later, when people on Earth witnessed the prosperity of the lunar base through quantum communication technology, they were all amazed by human wisdom and courage. (End of Chapter)
