Chapter 330 This is the Rabbit's Territory
When people all over the world celebrated the remnant of the disaster, Meow Star Group cooperated with the aerospace department to jointly carry out the lunar base plan. Li Maoye only participated in the first few meetings, and left the rest to others.
Anyway, everything has been planned and everything is progressing step by step, so Li Maoye still focuses on laboratory research.
However, the original work of the aerospace department was urgently suspended. Only half of the "Nantianmen" space station was built, and even the repair could only allow time to advance, and the damage caused by this meteorite attack was handled little by little.
All work gave way to the "Moon Base Plan", even the work of the Meow Star Space Department was a bit chaotic at the beginning, but with the arrangement of Zhou Lin and Academician Ma, it quickly entered the rhythm of high-speed advancement.
As Li Maoye and relevant departments agreed, everything related to space development is mainly based on the Cattle Star Group. Without any other matters, the work of the Moon Base is progressing very quickly.
So other countries on the earth were surprised to find that the Cattle Star Group on the Rabbit seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and was frantically filling in bottomless pits such as the lunar base construction project.
At this time, the asteroid in space has not yet fallen to the moon.
However, some people have vaguely discovered something is wrong, especially astronomical experts in the bald eagle. They roughly calculated that the orbits of the asteroid and the moon are likely to overlap.
"What you mean is that the asteroid will eventually fall on the moon?" When the Bald Eagle NASA Director received the news, his first reaction was that it was unlikely.
Of course he knew how small the chances of the two meeting were, especially after being bombarded by nuclear bombs by bald eagles and rabbits, it was already the greatest blessing for mankind to keep the asteroid away from the earth. How could it fall to the moon by chance?
In terms of planetary gravity, the probability of an asteroid falling on the earth is much greater than that of a moon, which leads to so many things.
But after connecting this coincidence with the actions of the Cattle Star Group, the director of NASA immediately woke up, "Damn it! The rabbit wants to go to the moon to mine!"
Immediately afterwards, he pushed back from the development of the asteroid crisis event, thus inferring that an even more impossible thing: "The asteroid was deliberately blown to the moon by a rabbit!"
So the NASA director asked experts to submit the data and their own speculations together. The problem is now very obvious. Whoever can take the initiative to land on the moon and occupy the mine first.
After receiving the report, the senior officials of the Bald Eagle government attached great importance to this and found many expert think tanks to analyze and discuss. The first thing they confirmed was whether the asteroid would really land on the moon. If so, where would it land on the moon?
"We must accurately predict its landing point before we can carry out targeted follow-up actions!" NASA Director said it is impossible to let astronauts wait on the moon. We must first find the coordinates to build the lunar permanent base so that we can have the capital to compete with the rabbit.
"This requires supercomputer to simulate and deduce. It is estimated that there will be no real results in a short period of time, so..." The relevant expert analyzed, and then he gave a roughly needed time, and everyone present felt that it was unacceptable to it after hearing this.
"This is useless! When our performance is finished, the asteroid will have already fallen on the moon!"
"Can you shorten the time?" NASA Director asked: "Can you do three days?"
"No, we can't do that quickly unless the accuracy is reduced!" The expert shook his head repeatedly, and his suggestion was finally passed. It would be easier to have a general range than to know nothing.
Some people suggest that they follow the rabbit to the moon and see where they go to build the moon base. They should be able to determine the general landing point. At that time, the bald eagle can also copy and build a base next to it.
This suggestion was not approved by most people. After all, the Bald Eagle has always regarded itself as the largest country in Blue Star Technology. If the rabbit is allowed to build a lunar base in front of him and then NASA follows him, then this character will never be able to be maintained.
"There is too much invisible loss in this way. We must rush up before the rabbits, and then do it faster and better than them!"
The commander said this, and his will was the final conclusion. No one continued to get involved in this issue, so he continued to talk about other issues.
But before a few minutes had passed, someone broke in outside and opened the big screen in the conference room and explained: "The rabbit has started to land on the moon!"
Everyone was shocked and showed an incredible expression!
"What? Rabbit lands on the moon?"
"Why are they so fast? Didn't they start preparing for it?"
"It's too late for us to catch up now? Can NASA prepare the moon rocket tomorrow? What about the astronauts? And where is the lunar base to be built?"
There was a noise in the conference room, and everyone was surprised by the rabbit's efficiency. After all, it was only more than a week since the East Wind lifted the asteroid crisis, and people have not escaped from this incident.
According to their predictions, no matter how fast the Rabbit Space Administration is, it will take at least ten days to make all preparations. After all, landing on the moon is not a house, and once a little accident occurs, it will be a big deal of ships and people being killed.
The Challenger accident in the last century is a typical case. After that catastrophic accident, the Bald Eagle's space shuttle flight plan was frozen for several years. Later, they learned the relevant lessons and dared not be careless.
The live video was played on the big screen. According to the host above, everyone present finally understood why the rabbit could start the moon landing so quickly, so they all started to curse.
"Wang Defa! These sons of the beach!"
"I'm so cunning, I don't plan to send someone up!"
"Are they planning to mine remotely?"
"The delay of this stand-alone robot should be very high, right?"
"Oh, this is planning to use a stand-alone robot to control the intelligent robot to mine metallurgy..."
"Rabbit's intelligent robot technology is already so powerful?"
After a series of curses, everyone couldn't help discussing this kind of space-range mining method. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that other countries insisted on humans going to the moon to mine, it would probably be extremely technically difficult, but also much higher in cost.
It turned out that the Meow Star Group did not intend to send astronauts to the moon. Anyway, this kind of vanity had been obtained by the Bald Eagle long ago. Now, when competing for the first place, it is already a 60-year-old behind, and it has no practical significance or value at all.
So from the beginning, Miaoxing Group made up its mind to develop remote control robot mining technology. In addition, the time is so tight this time, it further reflects the strength of the original plan.
Zhou Lin and others quickly communicated with relevant departments to determine the details and agreed on some things about the lunar base, such as the name of the base is "Guanghan Palace", the code name of the substitute robot in the base is "Wu Gang", and the code name of the intelligent robot is "Yu Tu", etc.
Then we immediately designed the components required by the lunar base in conjunction with the Space Administration, because we did not need to build a life-saving system for humans at the beginning, and we only need to pay attention to machine maintenance and repair issues in the space environment, so the things were quickly designed and manufactured.
At the same time, they transported the stand-alone robots and intelligent robots that had been prepared from the warehouse and sent them to the Daxue Mountain base in batches, and then fired them to the "Nantianmen" space station through the [Earth Cannon].
The videos watched by Bald Eagle experts and others are the live broadcast of the transport components and robots. It is said that the components of the lunar base alone need to be transported in fifty times, and as for the robots, it also needs to be about ten times.
Although the "Nantian Gate" is still under renovation at this time, it has complete basic functions and is just a transit station, so there is basically no difficulty.
However, there is a certain distance from the ground to the space station, and there are many things to transport and lunar base components, so all the cargo needs to be waited in the space station for a few days, and then take a spaceship to transport tens of millions of moons together.
This kind of space transport spacecraft is actually a cargo spacecraft equipped with the "Starry Sky Engine". It is completely controlled by artificial intelligence and can be operated by issuing instructions remotely. It does not require any survival system. Therefore, the spacecraft has a large space for cargo and the transportation speed is very fast.
The space transport spacecraft is the research and development result of the Space Administration. Except for the "Starry Sky Engine" related to Meow Star Technology, the others are all intellectual crystallizations of local talents in the Flower Gardener.
Since Meow Star Laboratory began to manufacture the "Starry Engine", some people have proposed the concept of a space transport spacecraft. Although they do not know how strong the final thrust of the engine is, it does not hinder the research of related technologies.
Originally, Meow Star Group also had a similar R&D plan, but because they had no relevant research experience before and there was a lack of aerospace technical talents within the group, they could only transfer the relevant data to the Space Administration to complete this part of the research work.
Facts have proved that fighting alone cannot accomplish great things. Meowstar Group is good at cooperating with other companies or organizations, so it can grow to such a scale in just less than ten years.
This time, in addition to Meow Star Group and the Space Administration, there are also many domestic companies working together to prepare what they need in just over a week, otherwise they will really have to work until they don’t know when.
Just as the Meow Star Group blew the agglomeration call and tried to transport various lunar base materials to the "Southern Heaven Gate", the platinum asteroid finally flew slowly to the near moon, then hit the back of the moon, and then rolled into the ring volcano before stopping.
The huge impact left a deep trace on the surface of the moon and shortened the distance between the moon and the earth by more than ten meters, causing many people to claim that the moon in the sky looked bigger.
Although this impact occurred on the back of the moon, almost all observatories on Earth observed it, and the seismic wave data generated by the impact was quickly collected, and the real weight and material of the asteroid were analyzed.
"Oh my God! It weighs 24 billion tons, and it is almost all made of platinum!"
"No wonder he can withstand nuclear bombing!"
"The rabbit is going to be released this time! Tens of billions of tons of platinum are going to make a lot of money!"
"No, you said it wrong! It should be that Meow Star Group is about to issue it!"
"Meow Star is getting rich? Are you not afraid of nuclear radiation? Asteroids should be all radiation, right?" Someone pointed out inwardly: "It is precisely because of nuclear radiation that they choose to use robots to mine, right?"
"Don't be so sad. This time, in order to eliminate the asteroid, the bald eagle and rabbit use the most powerful hydrogen bombs! The nuclear radiation is very small and can be ignored!" Someone immediately jumped out and explained.
Then someone laughed and said, "Haha, even if there is nuclear radiation, hasn't they removed the black technology of radiation?"
No matter what, Meow Star Group or Rabbit really wants to make a fortune. No matter how much these metals are worth, in the absolute number of such huge, it will definitely affect the market trend of the entire similar metals.
Once so much platinum and gold are transported back to the earth and the Meow Star Group will all flow into the market without restricting it, it will probably cause the entire precious metal market to collapse, and naturally the money you earn will not be much.
So the best way to deal with it is to hold it in your hands first, and then use them to control the market prices of platinum and gold. If you want it to rise, you can buy it in large quantities, and if you want it to fall, you can directly smash the market. Anyway, the life and death of these two types of metal industry personnel depends on the rabbit's expression.
When the asteroid is confirmed to fall on the moon and the rabbit shows ability to mine, the price of platinum and gold on the earth will both fall. I am afraid that the prices of both metals will not improve until things are clear.
However, some people have boldly gambled, taking the opportunity to buy at the bottom when these two metals fell sharply. These people believe that relying on robots to remote mining only reduces the cost of smelting metals, but still cannot solve the problem of excessive transportation costs.
Besides, when Meow Star Group has just started mining on the moon, it may be possible to transport metal blocks back to Earth in which year and month! Now the price that has fallen will always rise!
...
"Oh my God! Rabbit's infrastructure is so fast!"
Under the stunned eyes of countries such as Bald Eagle, Meow Star Group spent less than a month to build the lunar base, and not far from the asteroid on the back of the moon, the entire base covers a total area of 5,600 square meters, integrating basic functions such as energy supply, mechanical maintenance, mining, processing, smelting and storage.
There are twenty substitute robots and one hundred and fifty mining and metallurgical robots in the base, of which only fifteen substitute robots are working normally, and the remaining five are backup robots to replace substitute robots that may have unexpected failures.
There are a total of forty-five ground operators, each fifteen people in one shift, working for eight hours a day, and then they work in three shifts.
The energy of the lunar base uses a small nuclear reactor. Since it is an integral component, it cannot be separated and launched into space using the [Earth Cannon] in batches. Therefore, it is necessary to use the Pangwu to send it to the space station first, and then use the space transport spacecraft to send it to the moon.
The component module of the energy part finally arrives at the lunar base. When it is installed and operates successfully, the lunar base can truly carry out mining operations.
On the day the moon's "Guanghan Palace" base was completed, the flower-camping government held a press conference to the world. At the meeting, the President of Meow Star Zhou Lin solemnly announced: "From today, Meow Star Group owns land ownership in the area within ten kilometers of Guanghan Palace!"
To put it simply, this is to declare to the world that this is the territory of the rabbit!
Chapter completed!
