Chapter 1604 Water and Metal

“In our cooperation with the observatory, we found that certain craters on the moon behave very differently, because even under sunlight, the interior of these craters There are also infrared spectra of free water.

We also made a lunar creation engine room using the Spirit Realm Ecological Experiment Server

Encounter with the Big Impact Model. After an impact, the volatile elements of the moon will indeed turn into gas and escape from the moon. Among them, hydrogen and other noble gases will indeed be completely lost if the impact is strong enough

But when we increase or decrease the number of impacts. After distinguishing between a thousand times and a hundred thousand times, and distinguishing the impact intensity, we found that there is still a 30% probability of retaining water on the moon after encountering a large impact.

However, there are not many types of minerals in the sample. If the sample contains enough minerals such as pyroxene, feldspar, olivine, and apatite, we can conduct volatile content and isotope tests to discuss the evolution of magma and its removal. The impact of gas and other processes on the volatile content of lunar samples we observed. ”

When Liu Tang faced Gu Qing’s gaze, although his heart was shaking all the time, he forcibly controlled his expression and breathing, and introduced and explained with a serious face.

"Magma evolution can lead to an enrichment of volatiles, allowing us to overestimate the water content of the Moon itself.

Degassing will cause volatile components to be lost later on the lunar surface, allowing us to underestimate the water content of the moon itself.

The effects of these effects can be identified through simultaneous analysis of volatile content and isotopes in in situ micro-section profiles.

In addition, combined with isotope analysis, it is also possible to identify the impact of external water brought by meteorite impacts, solar wind and blue star wind after the formation of the moon. ”

“So, what is your conclusion? ”

“There is water! Moreover, water resources are relatively abundant in some parts of the lunar land. Of course, this abundance is only compared to other dry lands on the moon.

But as long as we can detect the distribution of water molecules on the moon, we can make good resource selections for landing and base construction sites.

If the surrounding water resources are abundant, at certain special moments, the lunar base can also mine lunar water for supply. After all, no matter how good the internal water circulation cleaning system is, there will still be energy loss and water loss.

If one day the Blue Star ground cannot provide a safe and healthy living environment, perhaps the lunar base will become the ultimate safe home for us humans. At that time, the thirst for water may be one of the most important items among all resources. "

Faced with Liu Tang's concerns and worries, Gu Qing did not deny it.

He even nodded in agreement: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. When I led the team, I allocated R&D resources to When I invested in aerospace projects, I had concerns about this.

With the frequent outbreaks of ocean pollution incidents now, and the situation where many manufacturing and chemical-related companies in places such as Uncle Sam and Neon are polluting water resources, I think that in the future, clean water resources may It is a truly rare resource comparable to gold.

Your research is good, it can confirm the existence of water resources, and the follow-up work of the company's aerospace department can also be accelerated. ”

After Liu Tang listened carefully to Gu Qing's speech, he also nodded and responded: "We still need more data, whether it is better space telescopes, detection instruments, or more specimens. If the company can provide the back, front, poles and There are enough samples on the central axis, I believe it will be soon A relatively stable distribution of water sources can be obtained.

Considering that the moon has been hit too many times, these samples need to be obtained as soon as possible. "This is what the researchers from Jiuzhou Technology said in front of their mentor. Even if he punches out, he will still make demands when facing his boss.

Because they all know that the founder of his company is not the kind of illiterate who knows nothing but bragging. As long as it is within the reasonable scope of the project research, no matter how outrageous the request is, there is a high probability that it will be met.

Under Liu Tang's gaze, he did see his Mr. Gu nodding.

I heard his promise: "Detection equipment has been stepping up research and development, you don't need to be too anxious. Of course, in addition to detection equipment for detecting water sources, you can put forward more and more detailed requirements.

The Titan star department and the aerospace department have reached a close cooperation agreement within the company. If you have any requirements, please submit them as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the internal information is made public, the working hours of many of them will be reduced. It will increase exponentially, and some projects will definitely not be implemented as expected.

Of course, many people are already saying that our projects are a bit complicated and need to be further improved.”

When Gu Qing said this, Liu Tang remembered that when he was communicating with certain staff members of the Titan Star Department, the other party had never stopped "bombarding them with phone calls" and nodded in agreement.

After understanding the situation with the researcher, Gu Qing turned his eyes and looked at the other researcher beside him.

"Dr. Li, your team has been focusing on studying small metal particles in lunar samples. What is the latest situation?"

Hearing Gu Qing call his name, Li Yuan frowned and added his results Handed it over.

And explained on the side: "Our team did discover some special circumstances by studying the composition of three oxygen isotopes in small metal particles.

The first is the output of this batch of minerals This is the official landing place of Daxia’s probe—the back of the moon. The Aitken Basin is one of the largest known craters in the solar system.

If it weren’t for this detection, none of us would have known that there would be something inside this largest crater. A dense block of metal weighing 2,200 trillion tons

At first, we thought that this metal clump was composed of metallic materials from the moon's interior.

After all, according to current exploration, the moon is still composed of rocks and metals, and these metals were mainly deposited below the surface in the early stages of the moon's formation.

When these metals are subsequently reshaped by lava flows and become the core of the moon's interior, and then ejected to the surface at a special moment, such a huge dense block of metal will be formed.

However, some researchers have put forward different views. For example, a doctor from Titan has put forward a hypothesis. The huge dense metal block inside this crater is likely to be a huge asteroid. The legacy of impact on the moon.

If these metals really come from outer space, then the value of resources in the moon will increase again by several indices. ”
