Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida walked forward, patted Anderson on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Anderson. Didn't you say that there were more than 20 scientists here? Why are there only two here? Where are the others?"

"There are limited seats in the cockpit of the space shuttle, so only three of us can sit there. The remaining scientists are staying in the cargo hold, and are now putting on their extravehicular space suits. It will take some time."

When the lunar space plane was first designed, it was not considered to carry too many people at a time. Three seats were reserved in the cockpit, which was just enough for one main and two deputy astronauts. In the previous manned lunar missions, the moon landing team was usually a three-person team. It was just that the plan did not change quickly. This time, Qiao Ruida and his team's discovery on the Purple Moon alien spacecraft was too important. The country organized a large number of young and middle-aged experts and scientists to form an excavation team and sent them to the moon on business trips. The three seats preset for the lunar space plane were not enough. There was no choice but to seal and pressurize the spacious cargo hold in the belly of the aircraft, install a set of air circulation equipment and some seats to serve as a temporary passenger cabin, and stuff more than 20 scientists in it. After all, these people are not professional astronauts. During the two-day journey to the moon, they lived in a weightless environment and their bodies had gradually adjusted and adapted. They had just arrived on the surface of the moon, and they still needed some time to adapt to the gravity environment of the moon. It also took some time to wear space suits outside the cabin, which was why they did not open the cargo hold door.

It was not until 20 minutes later that the cargo hold door opened downwards and landed on the lunar surface, forming a slope for vehicles and personnel to enter and exit. Twenty young and middle-aged scientists wearing extravehicular space suits awkwardly walked out of the cabin, walked down the slope, and stepped on the lunar surface with their feet, leaving a shallow footprint. These people looked around, curious about everything on the moon. Several people even took cameras to take pictures for everyone. After playing for a while, they remembered their business and jumped towards Qiao Ruida and others. The welcoming team headed by Xie Duanyang also came over, and everyone shook hands with each other and said some polite words through the wireless intercom.

"Hello, welcome to the Moon Base!" "Hello, thank you for your hard work!"...

"Let's go. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go into the moon base first."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Xie Duanyang led everyone to the gate of the lunar base behind them. In the more than half a month of exploring the Purple Moon alien spacecraft, the construction work on the lunar surface has never stopped. Relying on advanced lunar soil adhesives and 3D printing technology, the construction speed can be described as very fast. In just half a month, a small controlled nuclear fusion power station and a storage warehouse were built one after another. The already built lunar base was also expanded, and the new area was more than twice the original. The original lunar base was designed to accommodate about ten astronauts. After the expansion, the internal space increased greatly, and the number of people that could be accommodated also increased accordingly. Now there are 23 new members at once. The living environment is a bit crowded, but it can still fit. As for the power, water, and air supply, preparations were made several days in advance, so there will be no problems.

Everyone passed through the airlock, blew away the moon dust on their space suits, and then entered the base. The inside and outside of the lunar base are only separated by a wall, but they are two completely different worlds. The temperature outside is more than 24 degrees below zero, there is no air, no green plants, and the sight is desolate. The gravity is only one-sixth of that on Earth. Inside the base, the temperature is constant at degrees, and it is spring all year round. The air composition, air pressure, and gravity are exactly the same as on Earth. When the new scientists entered the base for the first time, they felt like they were entering a scientific research institute on Earth, and they stayed there for a while. Some scientists did not adapt to the changes in gravity inside and outside the base for a while, staggered, and almost fell. They relied on the support of the space suits outside the cabin to avoid falling and making a fool of themselves. Xie Duanyang led everyone to move their hands and feet, gradually adapting to the gravity environment inside the base, and then took off the bulky space suits outside the cabin, and stored them against the wall in order according to their numbers and names. Close-fitting extravehicular space suits like this are tailor-made according to the height and build of each astronaut. They are used by one person only and cannot be mixed up. Otherwise, astronauts may encounter some problems if they wear ill-fitting space suits.

"Hey, the environment in this lunar base is so great. There is air and gravity. It feels like I'm back in my laboratory!"

"It's not difficult to adjust the air and temperature, but how is the gravity achieved? It feels exactly the same as on Earth."

"When you were training as an astronaut, you used a zero-gravity training room, right? That equipment used the gravity adjustment technology invented by the Reda Group to adjust gravity. Our lunar base uses similar technology to create a gravity environment, but the coverage area is larger."

"So that's how it is. This really opens my eyes. With this kind of gravity adjustment technology, it will be much more convenient to migrate to Mars or other planets in the future. Gravity differences will no longer limit mankind's pace in entering the space age."

"Come on, let me show you around the lunar base. You'll be living here for a long time, so you can't be unfamiliar with the base's layout."

In the next two hours, Xie Duanyang took the new team of scientists around the entire lunar base and taught them how to operate some commonly used equipment. At noon, new and old team members, a total of more than 30 people, gathered in the restaurant for a grand welcoming banquet. Being in the lunar base, there is definitely no wine, so everyone can only use tea or drinks instead of wine, clink glasses with each other, and drink happily. A variety of meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, fruit platters, and small desserts filled several large tables. On the way to the moon, the team of scientists who had eaten liquid food for two days in a row could not resist the temptation when they saw these Chinese delicacies, and immediately picked up chopsticks and feasted.

The meal took nearly two hours to finish. In the afternoon, the scientists went to the laboratory to view the previous alien spacecraft exploration images, familiarize themselves with the internal environment of the Purple Moon in advance, and prepare for tomorrow's alien spacecraft excavation. During this period, the Moon Run space shuttle switched to unmanned mode and made a trip to the Earth's Ruida Space City, transporting some of the scientists' personal belongings, as well as a large number of archaeological equipment and detection instruments, which will be used in future excavation missions.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Xiaobo drove the drilling probe to send a group of archaeological experts and scientists into the underground spacecraft, the Purple Moon. Due to the large number of people and equipment, the drilling probe ran back and forth more than 20 times before it was transported. Feeling that this ant-like transportation method was too troublesome and time-consuming, the previously mentioned plan to build a direct elevator from the lunar base to the Purple Moon was brought up again and began to conduct feasibility studies.

With a large number of archaeological equipment and professional archaeological experts, a new round of archaeological excavation work on the Purple Moon alien spacecraft has begun again. However, this time it is no longer the destructive excavation that Qiao Ruida and his team had previously carried out, but an orderly, planned, step-by-step, and more technically advanced protective excavation. Many paper books, fiber fabrics, and plastic products that are difficult to preserve have been preserved by archaeological experts using advanced archaeological technology. A large number of electronic devices and household appliances, either intact or damaged, have been excavated and handed over to the scientist team to disassemble and study in order to determine their functions, working principles, and advanced levels, and to determine whether they are worth reverse research. This kind of protective excavation, with protection and caution everywhere, has minimized the damage to these alien artifacts, but the excavation speed is really slow. It took a week to excavate the frozen dormant layer on the first floor. In the first few days, the scientist team also took the earth drilling probe every day to travel back and forth between the lunar base and the Purple Moon, eating and sleeping at the lunar base. Later, everyone felt that running back and forth every day was too troublesome and time-consuming, so they gathered together to discuss and decided to move to the Purple Moon alien spaceship. Anyway, the Purple Moon had air, gravity, and vacant rooms as their dormitories. They only needed to transport some food and fresh water from the lunar base, and they could live very well.

With this group of professionals, the subsequent excavation work of the Purple Moon will definitely not cause too much loss, and Qiao Ruida will no longer need to stay on the moon. A week after the scientist team arrived on the moon, Qiao Ruida and two other astronauts boarded the Chang'e space shuttle, left the moon and set off to return to Earth. They also returned to Earth with several tons of helium-3 gas.

The day before Qiao Ruida left, the small controlled nuclear fusion power station built next to the lunar base had been installed and debugged, and the first ignition test run was carried out, and it began to provide an endless supply of electricity for the lunar base, maintenance factories, and warehouse facilities. On the Chinese land of the earth, the construction of controlled nuclear fusion power stations has shown a trend of blossoming everywhere, and dozens of large nuclear fusion power stations are rising from the ground. In the foreseeable future, fusion power stations will be connected to the grid for large-scale power generation, replacing traditional thermal power stations, and electricity prices will be greatly reduced. Many Chinese industries will benefit from it, and the national economy will begin a second round of rapid growth. In order for these numerous fusion power stations to operate normally and generate electricity, they must have a fusion fuel with huge reserves and low mining costs. The most suitable one is helium-3.

The reserves of helium-100 gas on Earth are very, very low, so low that it cannot be mined normally. However, on the moon, especially in the lunar surface soil, the helium- content is very high. Scientists estimate that the helium- contained in the lunar surface soil alone exceeds million tons, which is enough for global use for tens of thousands of years. As early as when the Reda Aerospace Company launched the first lunar exploration spacecraft, it built a helium- extraction plant in the Mare Imbrium region on the front side of the moon. Using mining robots, it conducted the first helium- mining test, which was a complete success. Today, the helium- extraction plant is still operating normally, and the number of automatic mining robots has increased to more than a dozen. Under the non-stop operation day and night, hundreds of kilograms of helium- can be mined a day. The helium- transported on the Chang'e space shuttle is produced by the helium- extraction plant.

After two days of long-distance flight, the Chang'e space shuttle successfully landed at the space airport of Ruida Space City. This was the first time that the first batch of astronauts who completed the feat of manned lunar landing in China returned to Earth. Ruida Aerospace Company and the National Manned Spaceflight Office jointly organized a grand welcome ceremony, and the number of people present, including reporters, reached an exaggerated number of tens of thousands.

As the old saying goes, "When there are more than ten thousand people, there is no end to them." When Qiao Ruida and the other two astronauts opened the cockpit door and walked down the gangway slowly, they saw a dense crowd of heads. Gongs and drums sounded, firecrackers blasted, and applause was overwhelming. Cheers and exclamations were continuous. A huge banner was also hung, which read "Welcome the moon warriors, return with honor!"

Since Qiao Ruida started his company, he has experienced many big events, and has participated in more than one annual meeting with 80,000 people. Facing this welcoming scene with tens of thousands of people, he should not be too excited, but facing the cheers of tens of thousands of people, he felt excited and excited from the bottom of his heart. Is this the feeling of being a space hero and being sought after by everyone? To be honest, it’s really not bad.

When Qiao Ruida and the other two walked down the gangway and stepped on the concrete floor of the aerospace airport, they felt a sense of security and finally relaxed their tense nerves. A smile from the heart bloomed on their faces. It felt like a wanderer finally returned to his hometown, or a tired worker returned to a warm home.

The first to greet them were three beautiful women wearing beautiful cheongsams, each holding a bouquet of flowers, and running to the three astronauts, presenting them with flowers and saying, "Thank you for your hard work, and welcome back to Earth!" That feeling was especially great, especially when the beautiful woman was your wife, the feeling was at least tripled.

When Qiao Ruida found out that the woman who sent him flowers was his wife Du Qingqing, he excitedly hugged her in his arms, completely forgetting that this was a public place.

"Wife, I haven't seen you for a month. I miss you so much!"

"Hubby, let go quickly. There are so many people watching us, and the TV station is broadcasting live. Aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm hugging my own wife, so why should I be ashamed? If others see me, they can only envy me."

Although he said that he was righteous, in actual action, Qiao Ruida let go of Du Qingqing, who was already blushing, and took the bouquet from her. After all, this is a public place, and we have to pay attention to the impact, what if we teach the children bad things? (End of this chapter)
