The equipment arrived, and under Mo Nu's arrangement, she began to enter the hangar in an orderly manner.Except for the parts that are difficult to transport, the rest are produced at the base.

The largest aircraft shell is mainly manufactured by 3D printing technology, which can save materials and integrate the fuselage.

The equipment in Hangar No. 2 had just started to be installed, and good news came from Building No. 1 of the headquarters.

The equipment needed for the moon landing has been prepared.

Before Chen Mo was the equipment needed to land on the moon.

Including lunar soil 3D printers, lunar excavators, lunar tunnel shield robots, handling robots, construction robots, intelligent transportation robots, ground drilling robots, geological exploration robots, data acquisition robots, lunar seismometers, lighting robots and small helium-3 extraction robot.

The lunar soil 3D printer is manufactured using 3D printing technology. Its function is to use lunar soil to print the moon bricks needed for base construction. It is only the size of two refrigerators. The machine is a bit special. It is made of heat-resistant and cold-resistant materials and can print up to one square. Meters of moon bricks, and then a construction robot to build the base.

The structure of the lunar shield robot is different from that of the earth's tunnel shield.It has two drill bits, one round and one pointed. They are not big and have a diameter of only 1.5 meters. They are mainly used to expand the tunnel. The machine legs can be stretched out to be 3.5 meters high. The drill bit can move freely, which is enough to expand the tunnel.

Small helium-3 extraction robots are machines that first extract helium-3. Now more controlled nuclear fusion power plants are under construction. The output of deuterium-tritium fuel is limited, and it is very expensive. If you want to do it for a long time, helium-3 Is the best alternative fuel.

These machines have one thing in common, which is resistance to heat and cold.

The equipment has been tested and can work normally in an environment between minus 180 degrees Celsius and 400 degrees Celsius.

Chen Mo's purpose of building a lunar base is to use the resources on the moon and to accumulate experience for space exploration.If this step is successful, he will be ready to explore other planets in the solar system.

All the robots are large in number, and the space of the Goddess is limited, so Chen Mo is going to send the Goddess and Tianyi to transport equipment and land on the moon.

"Mo Nu, contact Academician Zhang Jianfeng." Chen Mo said.

We are now preparing to land on the moon. The lunar exploration engineering team needs his help to carry an ecological experimental cabin and two astronauts to land on the moon.

"Academician Chen, don't come here unharmed." Zhang Jianfeng appeared in the video, with a little expectation in his expression.

"Academician Zhang, I am going to land on the moon, I will inform you to prepare."

"Well, is the time set?" Zhang Jianfeng smiled.

Finally waited until this day.

He contacted Chen Mo some time ago, and Chen Mo told him that after he returned from space travel, he would prepare to land on the moon.He also heard that Chen Mo had been recuperating from space travel for a month, and he was finally going to the moon.

"I'm sure, ten days later, is it enough for you to prepare?"

"Enough is enough." Zhang Jianfeng nodded hurriedly.

Five days later, a transport plane landed at the Flying Ant Space Center, led by Zhang Jianfeng, and a dozen team members got off the plane.

On the transport plane, the small ecological experiment module and astronaut equipment that needed to land on the moon were also unloaded under the command of the staff and carried into the research institute of the space center.

Seeing the appearance of Flying Ant Space Center again, Zhang Jianfeng was a little bit emotional.

In less than half a year, the base has expanded by 30,000 acres, and the scale of the Flying Ant Space Center is now comparable to that of a national-level space center, and the technology possessed is more advanced than that.

As a private company to this point, it is unprecedented.

"Academician Chen."

Zhang Jianfeng took the lead, said hello to Chen Mo, and began to introduce the team members around him.

"These two are Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang, the astronauts who landed on the moon this time."

"Hello."

Chen Mo said hello to the two.

The two of them are not tall, visually they are around 168-170. They were selected according to the standards of astronauts and should not be too tall.However, the two looked very energetic, smiling, and when shaking hands with Chen Mo in salute, they behaved very neatly.

This is one of the best astronauts in a hundred. They only know how much hardship they have suffered in order to obtain this opportunity.

In addition to Yang Yunsheng and Cai Kang, there is also a research team of agents.

During the lunar exploration period, they will stay at the Flying Ant Space Center to maintain the ground-to-moon connection, pay attention to the health of the astronauts on the moon, and make changes at any time.

"Academician Chen, where are you going to land this time?" Zhang Jianfeng asked on the way back to the space center.

"Back of the moon, 139.62 degrees east longitude, 24.37 degrees south latitude."

Chen Mo used the holographic projection platform to call out the topography of the tunnel.

"Our robot found a lava tunnel of an ancient lunar volcano here. The location is good and there is enough space. So I am going to build the first lunar base here."

With that said, Chen Mo called out the map of the lava tunnel. The underground tunnels extending in all directions, the topography of the location, environmental data, and temperature differences all appeared in front of the lunar exploration team.

"Explore so soon?"

The members of the lunar exploration team looked at the long tunnel incredibly.

Chen Mo's speed is terribly fast.

They all know that the underground tunnel on the moon is one of the ideal locations for the construction of the moon base. They are also looking for detection, but Chen Mo did not expect Chen Mo to be so fast.

"Fortunately, I ran into one. I launched more than 20 robots back and forth, including data acquisition robots and exploration robots. This is the data sent back by the robots. This launch mission is to transport the robots past and make preliminary transformations to the tunnel. Prepare for the construction of a lunar base."

Chen Mo called out all the robots that were going to land on the moon.

Seeing the robot's tools and design, the researchers on the field can probably guess the role of the robot, and they are also lamenting the powerful robot technology of the marching ant group.

"What is this?" Zhang Jianfeng asked curiously, pointing to the helium-3 extraction machine.

"Helium-3 extraction machine, used to extract helium-3 from the lunar soil."

hiss!!

The researchers on the field knew Chen Mo's plans and ambitions.

The helium-3 resources on the moon will be developed so soon.

Now two controlled nuclear fusion power stations have been put into use, and more controlled nuclear fusion power stations are under construction. The fuel is expensive. If helium-3 can be developed, the marching ant group will control the controlled nuclear fusion. The core technology and materials are infinite wealth.

However, they also know that Chen Mo has invested hundreds of billions in the moon landing plan, and definitely needs to make money, not just as a scientific exploration.

"Now is just the beginning. I am building a larger spacecraft. I will develop moon travel and even land on Mars to build a base in the future." Chen Mo said.

The lunar exploration engineering team was enthusiastic about what Chen Mo said.

They didn't doubt Chen Mo's words, even though Chen Mo's current strength already possessed the ability to explore Mars.Chen Mo knows that exploring Mars now has little benefit and a lot of investment. He just doesn't do business at a loss, and he has not yet reached that stage.

"If there is no problem, we can now announce our manned moon landing plan to the outside world."

"no problem."

Zhang Jianfeng immediately agreed.

The next morning, the Flying Ant Space Center held a press conference.

Li Ruoxi, general manager of the Flying Ant Space Center, and Zhang Jianfeng from the lunar exploration team attended the meeting and announced the plan for a joint manned landing on the back of the moon. Li Ruoxi also announced the Flying Ant Space Plan to build a lunar base and develop lunar travel and resources at the press conference. plan of.
