The next stage of the space plan is something that has been basically determined. Xu Xingchen now specifically proposes it to add the "moon landing" mission:

"I'm going to go to the moon... It should be said that the big satellite of this planet, the humans and ship girls on this planet are also called the moon, and we will still call it the moon in the future.

"Ship and deploy probes to the surface of the moon to confirm the situation on the surface of the moon, and prepare for the subsequent ship girl to land directly..."

As soon as Xu Xingchen finished speaking, Neptune jumped up and said loudly:

"What else are you going to prepare for? What detector is needed? When I get to the sky, fly over and log in directly!"

"Don't be reckless..." Xu Xingchen reached out and gave Neptune a brain crash. "I remember Sister Yuanwang said that the situation of this moon is very special, and it is very different from that of the earth..."

Xu Xingchen said as he looked at Yuanwang No. 1, and Yuanwang No. 1 immediately resumed the conversation:

"Yes, the mass of our moon is 16 times that of the moon on Earth, basically 2 times that of Mars, and 0.2 times that of the earth.

"The radius is 0.63 times that of the earth, the volume is 0.25 times that of the earth, and the surface area is 0.4 times that of the earth.

"The surface gravity is 0.5 times that of the earth, and the average density is 0.8 times that of the earth, about 4.4 grams per cubic centimeter.

"The mass of this satellite has reached the limit of a normal natural satellite, one-eleventh of that of our current planet.

“It is not tidally locked by the planet where we are, and it is still rotating normally, with a period of 32 hours.

“But none of these are the most concerned information…

"The most interesting thing is that this satellite is likely to have a natural environment that is very similar to our planet, and a natural and livable environment for humans.

"Having a normal magnetic field, having a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, having liquid water, and even... there is a high probability that native biological populations will exist..."

Hearing this, the other ship girls all had solemn expressions, and Xu Xingchen exclaimed directly:

"What? Sister Yuanwang, what did you say? Our moon is a livable planet? And there may be life on it?"

Yuanwang No. 1 nodded slightly and said:

“Based on the current observation data, it is basically certain that this is...

"In fact, even if there is no data obtained by professional observation equipment, we can simply discover the abnormality of this moon with the naked eye.

“Its color is not grayish-white, but is made up of yellow-green, orange and blue.

“Yellow-green and orange may be the colors of vegetation, while blue may be the ocean…”

Xu Xingchen was stunned. Although he had sufficient psychological expectations for this satellite, he was still far from the truth.

Xu Xingchen just thought it was special, but he didn't expect it to be so special, so he created a livable planet.

If the moon on Earth is a livable planet, the aerospace technology of major countries on Earth would probably have been filled two thousand years ago...

When Xu Xingchen was shocked, Yuanwang No. 1 continued to explain the current situation:

"This biosphere with a high probability is likely to be very different from the biosphere we are currently in.

"The most typical feature is that the vegetation in this biosphere is likely to be yellow-green and orange, rather than the green we usually have.

"And the surface gravity of our moon is only half that of the Earth and our planet, and the air pressure is much lower.

"So animals on the moon...if there are, they should be likely to grow very tall, and the number of flying animals may be very large.

"Due to different biospheres, there may be completely different microbial environments, and the completely synchronized virus and bacteria database, rash entry may lead to cross-plague...

“So before figuring out the state of this biosphere, it’s better not to rashly enter the surface of this planet.

"So, I agree with the commander's idea, the first stage is to put the detector first, and it is a space orbit detector, to figure out the environment there as much as possible, and then make plans."

Xu Xingchen tried a little hard to digest most of the information, then nodded gently and said:

"It should be done... The age of the great seafaring of the earth, Europe and America belong to the same planet, but it was isolated for a long time, and the viruses and bacteria brought by the Europeans caused a terrifying harm to the Indians...

"We are directly crossing the planet, and the biosphere is likely to be completely different. If we contact each other rashly, we may hurt each other...

"And the gravity on the surface of this moon is half that of the earth, which is already relatively high, and it also has an atmosphere, and the take-off and landing is far less convenient than the moon on Earth.

"We have to prepare suitable take-off and landing equipment during the detector detection..."

When Neptune next to him heard this, he couldn't help but express his opinion again:

"But it's too troublesome..."

Yuanwang No. 1 explained with a smile:

"Actually it won't be too troublesome. We already have a space force port, and there will be a ship girl who stays in the space force port in the future.

"Starting a detector from a spacecraft will be many times more convenient than the ground.

"It has only half the gravity of the Earth. The aerospace vehicle that spans the atmosphere will be much simpler to design than the Earth and our ship girl planet."

When Yuanwang 1 said this, Neptune suddenly became interested:

"Aerospace vehicle? I have wanted to do this for a long time, but our side has too much gravity and the atmosphere is too thick, which is more troublesome to implement.

"Then I will start with our moon and design the spacecraft used on the moon as a flight equipment from the Space Force Port to the moon..."

Xu Xingchen smiled and said:

"Then how about this task being handed over to you?"

"Of course there is no problem..." Neptune said halfway through his words, and turned his face to look at Yuanwang No. 2, "If the second sister helps..."

Yuanwang No. 2 rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"If the commander needs it, I will try the design..."

Xu Xingchen immediately looked at Yuanwang No. 2 seriously and said:

"Then please ask my second sister for this matter."

Yuanwang No. 2 nodded slightly, and didn't say much, but he had already started planning in his mind.

Xu Xingchen continued to explain his thoughts to the ship girls around him:

"In our initial plan, since scientific research equipment, manufacturing equipment and other basic equipment cannot be installed on the ship's hull, we have to use the spacecraft to send it to space separately and install it in the space military port outside.

"Because the resource collection equipment at that time could only collect resources in seawater, and when they arrived in space, they were useless equipment, so they were not included in the transportation list.

"Now, the resource acquisition equipment has been upgraded to the resource conversion equipment, and it has been very close to the transportation list and has raised the priority to the highest level.

"At the same time, resource conversion requires raw materials. In addition to the remaining materials in daily industry and daily use, we should also find ways to obtain additional conversion fuel.

"For example, capturing meteorites and space supplies, or even bringing supplies to asteroids to collect supplies, needs to be added to our plan."

The ship girls nodded, and Neptune cheered again:

"Okay, the space mining plan has begun, let me leave this plan!"

Xu Xingchen gave Neptune a blank look:

"This task...you may be able to complete it, you really want to take on this job?"

Neptune said loudly again:

"I want to pick it up!"

Although space mining sounds more sci-fi, the difficulty of this mission is actually far less than that of aerospace planes across the atmosphere.

Because space mining ships do not need to enter the surface of other planets throughout the entire journey, they work in a gravity-free environment.

More importantly, the ore to be mined this time is not the ore in the traditional sense of the earth, but the raw materials used for the transformation equipment for the ship girl, and the transformation equipment is now unavoidable.

Therefore, the task of this kind of mining ship is to run to the asteroid belt with abundant supplies, and just catch some asteroids and drag them back.

Neptune is really capable of doing this job.

So Xu Xingchen nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, then this task will be handed over to you, but you don't have to fight alone. If you really encounter problems that cannot be solved, please consult Sister Yuanwang and the others."

Neptune nodded excitedly and agreed:
Chapter completed!
