Chapter 96 Construction of the Moon Base

One week!

In just one week, Daxia can carry out a manned moon landing!

After hearing the news.

The conference hall of the Octagon Building suddenly became an uproar!

"Manned missions to the moon will be possible in one week from Daxia!!??"

"What about their plan to return to the moon!? Doesn't it mean that Daxia has surpassed it!!??"

"Oh God! How can they be so fast!!"

"Are they just going to watch Daxia snatch what should be theirs!?"

"Could it be that they have successfully landed on the moon in the 20th century? They can't take it away even if they want to!"

"The meaning is different. Now they want to prove that even though more than half a century has passed, they still don't deny that Blue Star is the country with the strongest technology!!"

The seats in the front row of the venue, the deputy commander, the GF director and others all felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.

They originally thought that no matter how fast Daxia's lunar exploration plan was, it would not be completed within a month.

Especially as the most significant manned moon landing.

According to the normal speed, it will take several months, or even longer, for Daxia to establish a base on the moon.

But the news released by Daxia now exceeds everyone's expectations!

Give their evaluation department a hard slap!

"It's impossible! It's absolutely wrong! It's impossible!!"

"How can we build a moon base in a week!?"

"Did they launch all the migrant workers from Daxia to the moon!?"

"Are you sure they are lying!!"

Vice Commander America shouted in disbelief and crazily.

Many other people also felt that it was impossible for Daxia to establish a stable base on the moon in such a short period of time.

Unless the base Daxia refers to is not the same concept as what they think of as a base.

The moon is a microgravity environment, and it is impossible to work as efficiently as on the Blue Star!

And construction is inseparable from various building materials.

Daxia's spacecraft could not carry a large amount of construction materials to the moon.

Then you can collect materials locally on the lunar surface!

The moon is rich in various mineral resources, and it is indeed possible to use the moon's own resources for infrastructure construction.

But that would greatly delay the construction progress.

It is simply impossible to achieve it within a week!

And there is a very important reason for limiting the construction progress.

The equipment carried by the spacecraft requires sufficient energy sources to supply it!

Current extraterrestrial spacecraft only use a few types of energy sources.

The first one is chemical fuel.

Which kind of source is the most convenient and at the same time the most efficient.

However, the payload of the rocket is limited, and most of the fuel must be used to propel the spacecraft itself.

So there is no excess fuel for base construction.

Second, the sun can.

Most current spacecraft, even if they are not primarily solar powered, will have solar powered auxiliary power systems.

As of now, the sun is still the most accessible source of energy in the outer space of the solar system.

The conversion efficiency of the sun is too low.

And it cannot support long-term use of high-power equipment.

If you want to carry out large-scale construction on the moon, large-scale machinery and equipment will definitely be indispensable.

But if the energy supply method of those devices is not solar powered.

Is it difficult to drive?

The third type is approval.

A great way to verify that a solution has been resolved.

However, there is a premise.

Then is it possible to master controllable nuclear fusion?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to apply it to large-scale mechanical equipment.

As for the nuclear fission device, it is too large and difficult to launch to the moon.

What is currently available is the isotope battery.

Is it possible to use isotope batteries to drive some detectors and lunar rovers?

I hope it can drive heavy machinery such as excavators and transport trucks. It's not too bad.

Those problems lie before every major space country.

They don't believe that Daxia can solve the things that America can't solve!

Based on the assessment of NAS.

Currently, the best way to establish a base on the moon is through space launches.

The most reliable method is to use a heavy-duty launch vehicle to launch the module of the construction base directly to the moon.

Same question.

It bothers Mark of spx very much.

He serves as the specific implementer of America's plan to return to the moon.

No one understands the difficulties more than he does.

Not long ago.

He had just made a plan to complete the starship launch mission for manned moon landing in one month's time.

But now we have received the news that Daxia will carry out a manned moon landing in a week.

It hit him hard!

"Fake!"

“It only takes a week!!”

Mark's face was twisted and his fists were clenched tightly.

A week's time.

How can he complete the plan to return to the moon before Daxia!?

Even if the spx staff worked overtime every day, it would be impossible to complete the complete starship in just one week!

Is it possible?

Just use the immature starship beta version for launch!?

Fortunately, there are many backups of starship hulls in his factory, as well as many rocket propulsion modules.

Not to mention there are plenty of Raptor engines.

If you just use existing things, then optimize the system and external software.

It's not impossible to launch the starship before Daxia.

Just doing that would be a big risk!

If you don't get it right, it will bring great disaster to SPX!

After weighing it for a long time.

Mark just made a decision.

Let’s see what America’s top management says.

If they insist on carrying out the moon landing plan before the Great Xia, then take a gamble!

If they also have deep concerns.

Then wait until the complete starship is developed before launching the return to the moon plan.
