Chapter 81 Helium and Ilmenite
The Sandaokou University Auditorium was crowded with people.
The top group of academicians and professors from the mining major and mechanical engineering department in Xia State were all sitting down.
In addition, there are several inconspicuous biology professors sitting in a corner of the auditorium.
"Do you know what this meeting is for?"
A slightly young professor couldn't help but speak first and asked the professors around him.
"Don't know..."
"Don't look at me, I don't know. Don't talk about the purpose of the meeting. I don't even know who held this meeting." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
"Hiss... When you say this, it seems that I didn't see the specific name!" A professor with white hair frowned slightly and whispered, "I came to the meeting after receiving the notice from above."
"Me too!"
Just as everyone was talking, the gate of the auditorium closed suddenly, and several soldiers in military uniforms began to distribute confidentiality agreements to everyone.
Seeing this scene, everyone's pupils shrank a little.
"This conference...is a big enough situation!"
"I just looked around and most of the people here are academicians and professors from the Department of Mining and Mechanical Engineering!" An academician said softly, "I guess that Xia Guo might have discovered some large mine that is difficult to mine!"
"No... I haven't heard that Xia Guo has discovered the ore veins recently!"
At the same time, Lu Yongchang slowly walked to the speech stage in formal attire.
Looking at everyone in the audience, he looked right and reached out to turn on the projector.
"Everyone, let me introduce myself first. I am Lu Yongchang, the first director of the Xia State Space Administration!"
"Since you all signed a confidentiality agreement, I won't hide it."
"The purpose of convening you this time is mainly to promote the Moon Palace plan!"
As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, a line of big words suddenly appeared on the projection screen.
Fully automated lunar mining plan
boom!
In an instant, the discussion in the auditorium scattered!
The academician who had just guessed that Xia Guo had discovered a large mine was staring at the big words on the projection screen in a daze.
Good guy!
This is a real big mine!
"First of all, we need to clarify the mineral resources on the moon."
As he said that, Lu Yongchang clicked the mouse and switched to ppt.
High-definition thumbnails of the moon appeared on the projection screen.
"40% oxygen, 20% silicon, 14% aluminum, calcium and a small amount of titanium, manganese, magnesium, chromium, and the most important helium three resources."
"The main purpose of the Moon Palace Plan is to obtain the rich helium three resources in the lunar soil."
"The content of helium 3 in lunar soil is estimated to be more than one million tons. For every ton of helium 3 extracted from lunar soil, 6300 tons of hydrogen, 70 tons of nitrogen and 1600 tons of carbon can be obtained!"
"In addition to these basic resources, the ilmenite in Yuehai basalt is also a key project of the Yuegong Plan."
“To implement the Moon Palace program, we now urgently need an integrated lunar mining equipment that combines automatic mining, classification and refinement.”
"This is also your next task."
As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, the auditorium fell into silence.
Kong Xingbang looked at Lu Yongchang on the speech stage with trembling eyes and swallowed slightly.
As a veteran academician of the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences, Kong Xingbang couldn't believe his eyes.
Humans, no, Xia Kingdom is now really capable of going to the moon to mine on a large scale?
He slowly raised his hand and signaled to Lu Yongchang on the stage.
Lu Yongchang immediately noticed Kong Xingbang's right hand raised high. The moment he saw the old man's face, his pupils suddenly shook!
It's him!
Academician Kong Xingbang!
Countless fragments of memory emerged in his mind.
In his previous life, Academician Kong Xingbang's name was known to everyone!
Although the dungeon plan was proposed by Lu Yongchang, it was Academician Kong Xingbang who really put it into reality.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kong Xingbang has overcome most of the difficulties in the construction of giant dungeons with his own strength!
Therefore, in his previous life, Academician Kong Xingbang was even known as the savior of human civilization!
Unexpectedly, at this meeting, I actually brought the great god Kong Xingbang!
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath, with a little respect in his expression, and said softly: "Academician Kong, do you have any questions?"
Kong Xingbang was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously: "Professor Lu, do you... know me?"
Lu Yongchang chuckled and nodded, saying meaningfully: "Who doesn't know the name of Academician Kong, the Department of Mechanical Engineering?"
Faced with Lu Yongchang's praise, Kong Xingbang's old face turned slightly red, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Yeah, it's just some small achievements!"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
"Back to the point, I wonder if Academician Kong has any doubts about this plan?"
Kong Xingbang's face turned slightly and asked softly: "Professor Lu, the current Xia Kingdom should not have the ability to send large quantities of materials into space, right?"
"Not to mention building such complex mechanical equipment on the moon."
"I sometimes speak a little straighter, I hope Professor Lu doesn't care."
Faced with Kong Xingbang's question, Lu Yongchang smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not a problem."
"Academician Kong should know the Xuannv 1 aerospace plane that was tested not long ago?"
Seeing Kong Xingbang nodding, Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and said, "Xuannu No. 1, you can carry ten tons of supplies to the surface of the moon at one time."
Kong Xingbang's pupils shrank suddenly!
Ten tons of supplies?!
so much?!
But soon, his brows frowned: "Ten tons of supplies seem to be a lot, but compared with the huge mining equipment... it is still a little less."
"Academician Kong, don't worry, listen to me." Lu Yongchang said with a smile, "I'll settle the calculations for you."
"Outside the atmosphere, the maximum speed of Xuannv No. 1 can reach the second cosmic speed, which is 11.2km/s, and the distance between the earth and the moon is about 400,000 kilometers."
"Including the time of takeoff, landing and unloading, it is conservatively estimated that it will take about two days to travel back and forth."
"Is it much more reliable to transport ten tons of supplies in two days?"
"In addition." Lu Yongchang's mouth raised slightly, and a bright smile appeared on his face. "The Xuannv No. 2 project is under development, and its transportation capacity is expected to reach 50 tons-80 tons!"
"How is it, Academician Kong, are there any problems?"
Kong Xingbang shook his head with a shocked face and said in a difficult tone: "If what Professor Lu said is true, then I have no problem."
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly and turned back to the stage.
"The rough project plan has been placed in the drawer of the table in front of you, so you can check it out by yourself."
"You can ask any questions."
