Chapter 605 Chen Mo's courage
"Academician Chen, are you sure it's true?"
"determine."
"Then Luna 1 is sure to return today?"
"Yes." Chen Mo still nodded and smiled helplessly: "Academician Zhang, you have asked five times in an hour since you came here. I feel you are more anxious than me."
"Hey..."
Zhang Jianfeng grinned, turned his head and looked at the horizon outside the window, looking forward to the return of Luna No.1.
"How many moon rocks and lunar soil have you brought back this time?"
"Not much, only 26 kg." Chen Mo said, "I will give you 10 kg."
"Enough is enough."
Zhang Jianfeng's face was as brilliant as a chrysanthemum.
In the black market, the price of a gram of moon rock is 6 digits, and there is still no market. One can imagine the value of 10 kilograms of moon rock.
He felt how lucky he was to cooperate with Chen Mo on the lunar exploration project.Given a piece of data as an investment, the return they have now far exceeds their investment.
Time is passing by while waiting.In the command center, the location of Luna 1 is reported every two minutes.
Half an hour later, the Mo girl beside Chen Mo spoke.
"Brother Mo, Luna 1 has returned, and it is descending about two kilometers above the base."
"came back."
Chen Mo also had some expectations and led Zhang Jianfeng out of the command room.
Xiao Yu and Mo Nu followed behind them.
Walking out of the command center and reaching the edge of the airport, everyone looked up at the sky.In the eyes of everyone, the shadow of Luna 1 could not be seen.
"over there."
Mo Nu pointed at a black spot under the white clouds in the sky.
The size of sesame seeds, if you don’t look carefully, you won’t find it is Luna 1 at all.
Zhang Jianfeng was a little nervous and had poor eyesight. He still stared at the sky, hoping to find it.
One minute later, the Luna 1 lander slowly zoomed in the eyes of everyone.Luna 1, which is slightly larger than the water tank, sprays blue fireworks at the bottom, and is descending vertically.
"came back."
When he finally saw Luna No. 1, Zhang Jianfeng was instantly excited, he had recognized it, and he was sure.
This is the first time that mankind has brought back the moon rock and lunar soil on the back of the moon.
Due to the particularity of the moon back, the research value of these lunar soils and moon rocks is slightly higher than that of the moon rocks brought back by the United States.
Luna 1 hovered two meters from the airport, the landing gear extended and the ion engine shut down.
Huh!!
Luna 1 steadily landed on the ground, marking the moon rock and lunar soil on the back of the moon officially returning to the earth.
The next moment, the intelligent machines and staff on the ground quickly surrounded Luna-1, took Luna-1 back to the transport vehicle, and returned to the Institute of Space Center.
"Let's go and take a look."
Chen Mo took the lead and walked into the institute.
Through the glass window, you can see that in the laboratory, the robot has taken out the sealed tank that collects lunar soil and moon rock, and is disinfecting and cleaning it.
Ordinary people can't get close for the time being, because they have just returned from the moon and are not sure whether there are mutated bacteria in space.
Ten minutes later, the thorough cleaning was completed, and the sealed tank was sent to the sterile and dust-free laboratory.
"You can finally see Moon Rock."
Zhang Jianfeng was extremely excited, wearing protective clothing, after disinfection, couldn't wait to enter the laboratory.The moon rock and lunar soil that their team dreamed of was placed in the vacuum glass jar, or the moon back.
In the past, in the world, only the United States had the ability to acquire Moon Rock. Now, another one is a private company of their China.
Although it is not their team, it is also something to be happy about, proving that China's current technology is strong.
"Academician Chen, what is your next space exploration plan? Is it convenient to talk about it?" Zhang Jianfeng asked.
"Flying Ant Space Center is now being expanded, and a space station will be built next. It will provide locations for our company's space tourism project and my research project."
Chen Mo said without shy.
"The next big plan is to find a suitable location on the moon and establish a lunar base. At the same time, I will build a larger aerospace plane to prepare for future moon travel and exploitation of the moon's resources. However, Before that, I need to find a way to use moon rock and soil as a building material."
Chen Mo pointed to the moon rock in the vacuum tank.
If you want to build a base on the moon, you must find a way to use the lunar soil of the moon as a building material for 3D printing. If the materials are simply transported from the earth, the superpowers will not be able to bear this consumption.
He has technical support from the Science and Technology Library, and it is not technically difficult to use lunar soil as a 3D printing material.
hiss!!
Zhang Jianfeng was shocked by Chen Mo's courage.
This kind of big plan, even for a big country, is a concept at this stage, and Chen Mo is just a private company, so he dared to have such courage to claim to build a lunar base.
If something goes wrong, even a large company like the marching ant group can be dragged down.
But thinking of the helium-3 contained on the moon, and other rare minerals, and its significance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Chen Mo's technological strength.
If Chen Mo really succeeds in building a lunar base and exploiting the resources on the moon, his personal wealth will reach a terrible level.
"During this period, I will continue to put more exploration robots into the moon to find a suitable location for the construction of the base. I can help with what instruments your team needs to put in."
"Our lunar exploration engineering team is also preparing to launch the Chang'e lander in the near future. This mission is also to obtain samples of moon rock and lunar soil. You may need to provide some technical consultants at that time." Zhang Jianfeng said.
Chen Mo's success in obtaining samples of Yueyan does not mean that they were also successful.
This is the original plan of the lunar exploration engineering team. Chen Mo will not give up on implementing this plan because Chen Mo successfully retrieved the samples.
"No problem." Chen Mo said.
After giving 10 kilograms of Moon Rock and Moon Soil to Zhang Jianfeng, Chen Mo sent him away from the Flying Ant Space Center, and Chen Mo and Xiao Yu left afterwards.
"Where to go on vacation? Do you decide or I decide?" Chen Mo asked.
Now that he just returned from space, the doctor told him to recuperate and relieve the physical fatigue of space.Although he is in charge of major matters, Xiao Yu never compromises on such small matters concerning his body and life, and Chen Mo can only rely on her.
"You decide, you can go anywhere, you just need to rest." Xiao Yu said.
"First take you and Wushuang home for a few days, and then go out to play."
...
"Yueyan sent here?"
"Just delivered it here." Li Ruoxi nodded: "The boss, doesn't he come to announce in person?"
"He just came back from space, the doctor said he wanted to rest, Xiao Yu stared too closely, you should understand Xiao Yu, at this time I dare not rob her, or I will be finished." Zhao Min smiled.
Chen Mo's body had been involved several times, and they were all frightened at the time. Now every time it concerns Chen Mo's body, Xiao Yu never compromises.
Li Ruoxi smiled and immediately understood.
She and Xiao Yu are good friends who can talk about anything. Xiao Yu has a gentle and uncontroversial personality, and is usually very gentle, but what he really believes is very stubborn, and it is still about Chen Mo.
"let's start."
Zhao Min checked the time and stepped out of the background, followed by Li Ruoxi and Lan Xi.
The Marching Ant Group's press conference was crowded with people.
Every reporter has expectations on his face. The Marching Ant Group informed yesterday that a press conference will be held today.
Even on the day Chen Mo came back safely from space, the Marching Ant Group did not have such a grand press conference, and did not even invite reporters to the scene, and today's sudden press conference must have more important news than Chen Mo's return from the sky.
They know the style of the marching ant group from the past press conferences, and important news will not be announced until the last minute, so they do not know what important news the marching ant group will announce this time.
The next moment, when he saw Zhao Min taking the lead from the backstage, the reporters on the court were instantly excited.
Zhao Min was present in person.
Judging from previous press conferences, Zhao Min personally appeared on the scene, and there was no ordinary news.
"Inviting everyone over today is an important announcement."
Zhao Min stepped onto the stage of the press conference and went straight to the topic.
She looked at the opening, the staff carefully carried a box into the middle of the conference stage.
Uncovering the red cloth, it was a stone covered by a glass ball, the size of a fist, and it looked like a rotten fossil, and nothing special.
"what is this?"
"A stone that is about to weather?"
"Nothing special, is it? Is it any special material?"
The gaze on the field was instantly attracted by this stone, but it did not see anything special.
When everyone was puzzled, Zhao Min spoke again.
"Just an hour ago, the Luna-1 lander that our group dropped on the back of the moon successfully returned to the Flying Ant Space Center after obtaining a sample of the moon rock on the back of the moon. The rock in front of you is from the moon. Moon rock samples taken on the back side. This is the first time that humans have obtained rock and soil samples on the back side of the moon."
Wow!!!
At the originally puzzled scene, the pan was fried instantly.
