The content of the experiment is to build a small mine on the moon.

The content of the mine is to excavate, separate and finally obtain helium 3.

Why does controlled nuclear fusion need helium 3?

Because the nucleus of helium 3 contains two protons and one neutron, very few neutrons are produced in the process of thermonuclear fusion reaction with the hydrogen isotope tritium, so the radioactivity is small, and the reaction process is easy to control, which is both environmentally friendly and safe.

According to the current lunar resource data held by the people of Xia, as long as the depth of 3m, 10 square kilometers to 15 square kilometers of lunar soil is excavated at a location with a large storage capacity of helium 3, about 1 ton of helium 3 can be obtained.

The abundance of such rich minerals is quite surprising, because the planets inhabited by humans are covered with a thick atmosphere, blocking the solar wind, and helium 3 is difficult to reach directly, so the natural reserves of helium 3 on the earth are very low, and the total is not more than 10 tons.

And digging three meters of lunar soil in 10 to 15 square kilometers can get a meal of helium three. Dig a little deeper, or a little wider, and you'll get more helium-3 than the entire Earth holds.

Based on the current global electricity price and space transportation costs, the value of 1 ton of helium 3 is about 30 billion yuan, and the total cost of transporting 1 ton of helium 3 from the moon with a special spacecraft is about 300 million yuan.

If it is all used for controllable nuclear fusion, Xia Guo only needs more than 10 tons of helium-3 per year to supply all the energy in the country, and the world only needs more than 100 tons per year. The helium-3 on the moon is enough for human use for tens of thousands of years.

The energy here is not only electricity, but also energy generated by oil and natural gas.

The Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center experimented with helium-3 minerals on the moon to calculate the real mining cost.

If the cost is calculated to be less than the cost of thermal power, hydropower and nuclear fission reactors currently used by humans, then the next step in the Xia Kingdom will be based on the moon base to build a base for scientific research, life and helium mining and processing. The future of mankind The energy problem of 10,000 years or more has been solved.

If the nuclear fusion thruster of Pangu Technology, then human beings can go further into the depths of the universe.

The mine experiment project is also a joint cooperation between Pangu Technology and Xiaguo Lunar Exploration Center.

In the beginning, the lunar experiment set up by Xia Guo’s aerospace department was not a mine but a biological laboratory, hoping to cooperate with Pangu Technology and try to use the lunar soil to grow crops that humans can eat.

The plan seemed perfect, but it had major flaws.

What is the composition of the moon's soil? Most of it is vitreous silica, and regardless of whether other substances contained in the soil are harmful to crops, vitreous silica is difficult to grow crops.

If Xia Guo carried out the moon planting experiment, it would not be able to achieve very good results, regardless of the investment. Deep space exploration can be cost-free, but knowing that there is no result and investment is either stupid or stupid.

Some experts from the Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center also proposed to try a large-scale soilless culture experiment similar to a farm on the moon.

This proposal was also rejected by Pangu Technology.

What is the purpose of large-scale soilless cultivation experiments? The goal is to provide food for future astronauts living on a lunar base. The topic returned to the ecological cabin of Pangu Technology.

Since the ecological module can achieve material conservation, the astronauts can last the longest with the least number of supplies. Moreover, the technology of the ecological cabin is relatively mature, and there is no comparison with the soilless cultivation that spends a lot of time and money on the moon.

In the end, because of the insistence of Pangu Technology, the Lunar Exploration Center adopted the suggestion of mineral research and gave up the experiment of crops.

In terms of deep space exploration, neither the Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center nor Pangu Technology have enough experience, so the discussion of such problems is also very normal, and the truth is becoming clearer and clearer.

The technical discussions don't stop there.

The Lunar Exploration Center instructs Pangu Technology to have the ability to launch rockets and launch the world's first truly civil quantum satellite into space.

The Lunar Exploration Center is very aware of the technical strength and economic strength of Pangu Technology, so it is proposed that the two sides vigorously develop launch vehicles with higher thrust on the basis of existing rockets.

Large launch vehicles were developed to accommodate the increasingly frequent exploration of deep space.

This proposal was still rejected by Pangu Technology.

The reason is the same as for a planting experiment on the moon - worthless.

The kinetic energy that chemical fuel can provide can be calculated in detail in the laboratory, and it can be fully speculated that it cannot meet future deep space exploration. If we follow the old way of rocket development, human beings will not be able to transport heavier and larger equipment into space for a lifetime. , not to mention long-distance voyages.

However, the controllable nuclear fusion engine provides new possibilities for the aerospace industry, and the powerful kinetic energy it provides is definitely not comparable to the current chemical propellants.

Therefore, Pangu Technology will also decline the proposal of Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center and Xia Guo Aerospace Center to jointly develop rockets. It is not that there is no possibility of cooperation between the two parties, but that all cooperation needs to wait for the controllable nuclear fusion technology of Pangu Technology to mature. .

The rational judgment of Pangu Technology has become arrogant and unreasonable among experts.

But everyone is for Xia Guo's aerospace career, so the choice of Pangu Technology is quite tolerant.

"Perhaps Pangu Technology will have different ideas, and we should respect their ideas."

"There must be a reason for Pangu Technology's unwillingness to cooperate immediately, and we should give it more trust."

"As long as we don't cooperate with the United States, our proposal is not necessarily mature. Maybe Pangu Technology will have better ideas."

"Because of the technical support of Pangu Technology, we were able to land on the moon ten years earlier, and everyone should feel satisfied."

Voices like this are the mainstream of Xia Guo's aerospace academic circle, and tolerance and respect are the mainstream voices that should appear in the development of science and technology.

In the last month of 2025, Shi Kai and Wei Dong have been living on the moon for three weeks, which is far longer than originally expected and beyond the expectations of the international community.

As required, the two will conduct video calls with the ground control center every three hours during non-rest time.

Through the video screen, the ground control center can speculate that the bodies of the two are now very healthy, and the food in the ecological capsule developed by Pangu Technology can meet all the nutrients and trace elements for the astronauts' health.

Small-scale mining experiments are also on track, with lunar mining and helium-3 extraction being excavated.

The 76th International Astronautical Congress is about to be held in Washington, USA while the Xia Guo astronauts continue their scientific research on the moon.
