When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

After Wang Donglai responded to the issues raised by Qi Gong, the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.

After all, Qi Gong is an expert in aerospace science and industry.

I came to Galaxy Technology to complete technical cooperation.

Wang Donglai was so disrespectful that people naturally couldn't help but worry whether this incident would affect the cooperation.

It is normal to have such thoughts.

After all, in most people's minds, experts with official identities like Qi Gong are like those covered in a golden body.

Few people would have a problem with these people.

however.

Wang Donglai did just that.

No face given at all.

Seeing Engineer Qi's unhappy expression, Engineer Zheng stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Academician Wang, I have a plan for building a lunar lava tube base. Why don't you take a look at it first?"

As he spoke, Engineer Zheng took out a design plan.

Since it is a cooperation, both parties must show their sincerity.

During this cooperation, Galaxy Technology needs to open up data parameters and experimental processes to the two major aerospace groups and allow staff from the two major aerospace groups to participate in the entire process.

And the two major aerospace groups will naturally have to pay something.

The aerospace technology company where Zheng Gong works has contributed some technologies for the lunar probe and the construction plan for the lunar base. In addition, it also fully supports Galaxy Technology's space missions.

Some raw materials and processes for rocket manufacturing are safeguarded by the two major aerospace groups.

Even the rocket launch was specially timed to ensure that Galaxy Technology's space mission could be successfully completed.

Taking the lunar base construction plan from Engineer Zheng, Wang Donglai read it carefully.

He is still very interested in this aerospace technology plan for building a lunar base.

After all, they are the national team with many talented people. After so many years of development, it is impossible that there are no results.

After opening the plan, Wang Donglai checked it at an extremely fast speed.

Many people have thought about building a base on the moon.

The Bald Eagle Federation was naturally not surprised and had also made many technical plans.

To achieve this, there are many difficult problems to solve.

The lunar exploration experience accumulated by various countries over the past half century shows that the rock and geological conditions of the moon have certain similarities with those of the earth. However, it is obviously impossible to copy the experience of infrastructure construction on earth to the moon.

According to scientists' analysis, underground lava tubes on the moon are the ideal site for future lunar bases. They can provide astronauts and equipment with the necessary protection against threats from cosmic radiation and micrometeorites, and may even preserve the remains of ancient life.

To date, nearly three hundred caves have been discovered on the moon.

After further verification, it was confirmed that there are 21 potential lava tube caves, 16 of which are distributed in the lunar sea area and 5 are distributed in the highland area, mainly near or connected to the winding lunar streams. Among them, the 10 most likely lava tube caves are located in Dead Lake, Middle Mare Fertility, Tranquility, Wisdom, Southwest Mare Fertility, Marius Mons, Schlueter Crater, Highland 1, Highland 2 and Smith Mare/Langer Crater.

The reason why lava tubes were chosen as the first choice for base construction is because they have too many advantages.

First, there is a huge amount of potentially usable space inside the lava tube.

Analysis of the morphology of lava tube skylights shows that the depth of lunar lava tubes is tens of meters below the surface, the width of the tubes is tens to hundreds of meters, and the extension length ranges from hundreds of meters to hundreds of kilometers. The bearing capacity of the top rock layer meets the needs of engineering construction, and the huge internal space can be used to build a lunar base. Lava tubes with a width of several thousand meters can even be used to build cities.

Second, the temperature environment inside the lava tube cave is relatively constant.

The temperature on the lunar surface varies greatly, with a temperature difference of up to 300°C. This huge temperature difference is not conducive to carrying out activities on the lunar surface. By measuring the temperature of the illuminated and shadowed areas of lava tube caves, it is found that the temperature in the shadowed area is stable between -20°C and 30°C. Since the lunar surface is almost a vacuum, it is speculated that the temperature change in the relatively closed shadowed area inside the lava tube cave, far away from the cave entrance, is much smaller.

Third, lava tube caves are natural barriers.

The top of the lava tube has a thick layer of basalt and lunar soil, which can provide a certain shielding effect. Lunar soil more than 6 meters thick can reduce the intensity of cosmic rays to an extremely small dose. The top layer can also withstand the impact of meteorites and micrometeorites, block lunar dust and splashes, and thus reduce damage to people and equipment.

Fourth, the interior of the lava tube may be rich in water ice.

Finding water is an important task in current extraterrestrial exploration, and it is related to the survival and development of human beings in the future extraterrestrial bodies. There are three possible sources of lunar water: (1) water brought out from the interior of the moon by magma activity; (2) water generated by the reaction of hydrogen in the solar wind with oxygen-containing substances on the lunar surface; and (3) water brought by comets impacting the lunar surface.

However, water is not easy to preserve in the lunar surface environment. Compared with the permanent shadow areas at the lunar poles, the environment inside the lava tube is more superior, and it may preserve water formed by solar wind and comets. Water brought by magma when the lava tube is formed may also be preserved.

Fifth, the special environment inside the lava tube has important astrobiological significance and is an excellent place to search for extraterrestrial life.

The internal environment of caves on the earth's surface is relatively stable, forming a unique cave biosphere.

There may be water ice in lava tube caves on the surface of extraterrestrial bodies, and the internal temperature and radiation environment are relatively stable, providing conditions for the survival of microorganisms. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to prove the existence of life in lunar lava tube caves, but this environment provides a place for conducting various biological experiments in the future.

Sixth, the material composition of lava tubes may reveal the nature of lunar magma activity.

Currently, the lunar samples collected by humans come from a few meters deep in the surface layer, and the samples have undergone long-term space weathering and multiple mixing.

In comparison, the inner wall of the lava tube skylight exposes the profile of deep lunar soil and basalt, and the inside of the lava tube retains fresh samples of different periods of magma activity. By analyzing samples from different layers of the profile, we can understand the characteristics of lunar magma activity, which is of great significance to understanding the origin, formation process and evolution of magma of the moon.

It is precisely because of these advantages that the lava tube lunar base construction plan has become the first choice of the Bald Eagle Federation, us and Big Mao.

In addition, there are not many lava tubes on the moon, and they are on the moon.

First come, first served. Once someone gets the first chance, it becomes instantly more difficult for those behind to build a lunar base.

From this point of view, there is not much time left for our domestic aerospace system.

Just think about it for a moment, if a permanent base is established on the moon, how important it will be for subsequent development on the moon.

Through this permanent base, some precious mineral resources on the moon can be mined.

We can even use the resources of the moon to recycle and continuously produce suitable tools and equipment.

It's like a snowball, the advantage of the first mover will become bigger and bigger.

As the celestial body closest to the Earth, the moon is of great significance.

If only the pioneers had accumulated such a huge advantage when they first set out into the universe and the galaxy.

It can almost be said that there is no hope for those who come later.

With Wang Donglai's current abilities, it wouldn't take him long to go through the entire design plan.

Just when Engineer Zheng and Engineer Qi thought that Wang Donglai would put forward his own ideas after reading the design plan.

"Engineer Zheng, I've read this design plan and I'm generally satisfied with it."

"However, I think some places still need to be modified." "After all, when this design was designed, it was not considered that a private enterprise would want to build a base on the moon."

"At the same time, there are many technologies that have made great progress now."

“These places all need to be modified to a certain extent.”

"I wonder what Mr. Zheng thinks?"

Wang Donglai's attitude towards Engineer Zheng and Engineer Qi was no different.

It's completely a business-like appearance.

When the two heard Wang Donglai's words, they couldn't help but be stunned, even though they had already witnessed Wang Donglai's arrogance and confidence before.

You have to know that the lava tube lunar base construction plan that Engineer Zheng came up with is not a worthless thing.

Although it is not as advanced as the most advanced version, it is already the best version except for some highly confidential technologies.

Although it is a cooperation with Galaxy Technology, it does not mean that Aerospace Technology has to use all of its own technologies.

Some important core technologies naturally need to be kept confidential.

Therefore, the design plan given to Wang Donglai is theoretically fine, but many technical issues need to be solved by Galaxy Technology.

Zheng Gong naturally knew the reason for doing this.

As one of the two major leaders in the domestic aerospace system, Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ended up cooperating with a private enterprise.

The key point is that Galaxy Technology, a private enterprise, really has some capabilities.

There are many people who are dissatisfied with Galaxy Technology.

Therefore, although cooperation has been reached, there is still nothing wrong with gaining dominance by controlling these important core technologies.

Wang Donglai knew this when he saw the design plan.

However, he didn't care.

Because, when it comes to building the lunar base, he will definitely be faster than the national team.

After all, he is a cheater.

At this time, Engineer Zheng also reacted and said, "Academician Wang, I wonder which parts you are talking about that need to be changed?"

The expression on Qi Gong's face also returned to calm, and he waited for Wang Donglai's answer, quite curious.

"To build a qualified lava tube lunar base, based on the currently known geological conditions of the moon, I'm afraid one prerequisite is to be able to open up a lava tube several meters thick."

"I read the design plan, and it didn't mention what technology was going to be used to penetrate it. There are many solutions to achieve this, such as developing an aircraft-borne long-range ground-penetrating missile. With our current technology, this is a piece of cake."

"However, this won't work for Galaxy Technology. After all, since this thing can penetrate lava tubes, it is equivalent to a heavy-power weapon."

"So, we must develop a ground-penetrating machine to replace the aircraft-borne long-range ground-penetrating missile."

"The second point is the automatic landing and cleaning robot. If we want to transform the lava tube into a base, the amount of engineering required is huge."

"It is impossible to use manpower, and this kind of construction can only be completed by robots."

"This is where artificial intelligence technology can play a huge role. By connecting robots and engineering equipment with artificial intelligence, the speed of transformation can be increased to a higher level."

"We can even use quantum communication technology to remotely control it on Earth."

"The third point is that the lava tube base is only a temporary option. In the future, we will definitely have to build a base on the lunar surface. Then we need to develop suitable sealing materials and a complete ecological recycling system."

"..."

Wang Donglai spoke without hesitation.

You can't tell at all that Wang Donglai has only just received this lava tube lunar base construction plan. He seems like an expert who has been immersed in this field for many years.

Zheng Gong and Qi Gong were both extremely surprised.

Because they were sure that Wang Donglai had never been exposed to these things before.

However, in such a short period of time, Wang Dong not only read the design plan, but also understood the key points in the design plan and put forward these modification suggestions.

Even they had not seen many people with such abilities.

Thinking this in their hearts, the two of them once again had a deeper understanding of Wang Donglai's scientific research talent.

At the same time, he silently suppressed his arrogance in his heart.

The meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting, Yang Anchao followed Wang Dong to the office.

"Dongla, there was no malice in what Qi Jun said just now. It was just his true thoughts."

"Here, many units are actually different from what they advertise."

"They take pride in working overtime, and they often say they'll work for a hundred days or something like that."

"To be honest, no one knows whether this will work or not, but no one dares to change it easily. Path dependence has already formed."

"If Galaxy Technology is not a private enterprise, and it is also thanks to the fact that Galaxy Technology is a private enterprise and is in your hands, otherwise, we really can't do these measures now."

"Dongla, as an old man, I have a small request."

"That is, I hope you can always keep this original intention and don't change it easily."

"I believe that under your leadership, Galaxy Technology will become better and better, and at the same time, it will be more valued by the higher-ups."

"At that time, your voice and status will be different."

"If you insist, you may be able to completely change this."

"I'm old now, and I'm not very useful. I can only help you with what I can do."

Hearing what Yang Anchao said, Wang Donglai didn't say much, but just nodded seriously.

"Engineer Yang, I'll remember what you said."

"Believe me, you will see this day!"

Wang Donglai's tone was firm, like a promise, but also like a vow. (End of this chapter)
