Chapter 55: The Future of the Moon Landing Operation
In the evening, Sikai had no choice but to work overtime with Kathy, a mature lady, until late at night to figure out the countermeasures for everything that was coming!
Originally, this was just a series of outlines without subdivisions. This was because, in the plan, it would take three months to manufacture the Houyi spacecraft. As a result, two months was enough for the spacecraft to be built.
It has been officially put into use, and the next plan needs to be supplemented.
In other words, in the next step, Stark Industries will officially enter the profit stage. As long as the spacecraft flies to the moon and the location of each mineral deposit is discovered, it can be mined, and then brought back to Earth and sold to China.
, and other countries on earth who need it.
There are really a lot of mineral resources on the moon. According to the data collected by China and other countries in the past, the reserves of rare metals on the moon are greater than those on the earth. For example, the lunar maria is rich in iron and titanium.
Basalt, anorthosite rich in potassium, rare earths and phosphorus, moon rocks contain all the elements on Earth and about sixty minerals.
Among them, the content of iron is the highest. Just five centimeters of sand on the lunar surface contains hundreds of millions of tons of iron. Moreover, the average thickness of the sand on the lunar surface is ten meters. Not to mention the rich helium resources. This thing
However, it can perform a hydrogen fusion reaction with deuterium, the isotope of hydrogen, and can be used as an energy source for nuclear power plants. This fusion does not produce neutrons, is safe and pollution-free, and is easier to control. It can be used as an energy source for the Houyi spacecraft.
For Stark Industries' current large investment, it is necessary to go to the moon to establish the Guanghan Palace base and at the same time transport a large amount of ore back to make profits.
This is the problem that Skye and Casey have to consider. They need to find the most suitable, easiest to mine, and the most profitable ore among the currently known mineral resources on the moon.
Fortunately, they had the help of Jarvis, otherwise, these two people really didn't know how to deal with it. In addition, it was so late, most of the employees had already got off work, and they couldn't find anyone to discuss it.
Early the next morning, the two Sikai girls got up early, put on makeup to cover up the dark bags under their eyes, and then took a plane to the capital.
China's first manned moon landing project is in cooperation with the country. Therefore, the plan of the two Sikai girls must be discussed with the people in charge of this aspect of the country.
If it weren't for the fact that Stark Industries is now at its peak, the two Skye women would be at an absolute disadvantage in negotiating with the country! However, it is different now. The Minister of National Resources who is responsible for negotiating with the two Skye women is very concerned about
The two women were respectful, but I don't know what they were thinking secretly.
At least, that's how it appears on the surface.
After several days of discussions and research, Minister Song Qiang, Minister of the Ministry of National Resources, Director Li Zhixing, Director of the China Space Administration, Director Li of the China Space Agency, and the director of China's China One, decided to set the date for the manned moon landing project.
Published.
Also released were the fully formed Houyi spacecraft, renderings of the lunar Guanghan Palace base, lunar mining vehicles, crew uniforms, etc.
Originally, the date for this moon landing was chosen on the penultimate day of October, October 30th.
However, this date was ruthlessly opposed by Wang Yun. What a joke, October 23rd to October 30th, but on the day he came to visit his uncle, he would not have time to fly the spaceship.
As a result, the date was pushed back one day and became October 31st, the last day of October.
This press conference held together with the Ministry of National Resources, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Space Administration and other departments has attracted global attention. At this press conference named Guanghan Palace Base, it was released
All the information was like a nuclear bomb, shocking the whole world.
This press conference, following Stark Industries' Mars plan, has once again become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
As a member of China, no matter where you are, every face is radiant and you feel more dignified. And Chinese people have never been discriminated against by other races. Not to mention that as a Sta
As a member of Stark Industries, as long as he is a man from Stark Industries, it is easy to get a wife. Everyone is rushing to get a wife. Women, who are a little bit pretty, are pursued by a lot of people. Almost everyone can enter the Stark Industries.
We are proud of our industry.
The uniforms of the crew of the Houyi spacecraft released at this press conference also received everyone's approval. This is a slight modification and embellishment on the traditional style of the Mao suit, which not only highlights the majesty, solemnity and solemnity of the Mao suit.
Without losing vigor and vitality.
Although Wang Yun, the first captain of the Houyi spacecraft, did not attend this press conference, Wang Yun's influence has once again skyrocketed. He is no less than an internationally renowned movie star.
This time, the space agency has set the moon landing site near a crater called Langezitan near the south pole of the moon. In this area, large and small craters are densely packed and have rich mining resources.
, More importantly, according to everyone's calculations, this area has the most abundant rare earth resources, and rare earth resources are also the target of Stark Industries this time.
In addition, as we all know, there are abundant water resources underground in the polar regions of the moon, but they are all in a solid state. If you establish a base here, you don't have to worry about the lack of water resources.
In the plan, the goal of the first moon landing is to bring all 3D printing equipment in the spacecraft and use the resources on the lunar surface to quickly lay the foundation of the Guanghan Palace base. Moonquakes are quite frequent.
If the foundation is not solid, the base can be quite dangerous.
Compared to mining, it may be the simplest. Even without enough machinery, one person can lift a huge boulder. On the moon, because of the weak gravity, almost everyone is a strongman.
In order to continue to tie Stark Industries to the country's chariot, Director No. 1 personally decided to make a lot of policy inclines. Even this time for the manned moon landing operation, Stark Industries was a private company in China for the first time.
The company, which occupies 60% of the shares, has absolute decision-making power.
At the same time, China also decided to grant Wang Yun a military rank, although it was in name only. Unfortunately, Wang Yun refused. The status of an advisor is enough. As for the military rank, forget it. This is something Wang Yun could not have imagined.
Finally, the Houyi spacecraft is just a small spaceship. It is not large in size. It is only about a hundred meters long and more than thirty meters wide. Therefore, the spacecraft can only carry a maximum of four passengers. These thirty
The four also include the captain and other drivers.
In the rest of the area, enough space should be left for a large amount of ore and mechanical equipment.
So, these thirty-four places, well, except for Wang Yun, there are still thirty-three places. Originally, China could only be allocated fifteen places unilaterally.
However, because this spaceship would not have been completed so quickly without a large amount of assistance from the Chinese state, Wang Yun only left three places, and the rest were all left to the state.
As for the Chinese state, they also reciprocated the favor. The No. 1 leader personally spoke. Needless to say, personnel selection, Wang Yun must be the examiner, and no one has a more say than him. In addition, regardless of the personnel selected this time, there are
