The Return of the Black Technology of Immortal World

On the moon, under the special environment, humans cannot actually be the main force in construction.

Although the low-gravity environment has little impact on humans, the vacuum environment without air means that carbon-based organisms that want to move in this environment must wear heavy space suits.

Even if Yang Qing came up with a lightweight space suit, it would be difficult to use it freely without his and Zhao Yuxi's transformed bodies.

Therefore, it is certain that the construction of the moon will be dominated by robots.

In the future, human settlements on the moon should be closed systems similar to lunar palace bases.

Just like small cities that are connected through vacuum pipelines, vacuum pipeline transportation with a speed of four thousand kilometers per hour, which is almost impossible to achieve on Blue Star, seems to be possible here.

In fact, according to Yang Qing's transformation plan, he was originally planning to follow the prehistoric method of transforming small planes to increase the gravity of the moon and add a protective shield, so that the moon's surface would be filled with air and achieve an environment almost consistent with the Blue Star.

But looking at it now, it seems that it is more realistic to keep the moon in a vacuum state, and at least it is more convenient to carry out various mineral smelting.

The elements of the moon are similar to those of the blue star's crust. A metal smelting furnace can produce oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, carbon dioxide and other gases. Naturally, potassium, sodium, aluminum, iron, copper and other metals are also indispensable.

Although based on the lunar environment, the separated gases and metal elements contain a large amount of radioactive isotopes, but after these radioactive isotopes are separated, what is left is still a very useful supplement, especially the oxygen And nitrogen, even carbon dioxide, is an extremely excellent fertilizer.

With the formal operation of the metal smelting furnace, ilmenite and rutile ore were dug out, cut into the smallest possible pieces, and then filled directly into the smelting furnace.

It's not that Yang Qing doesn't plan to crush these minerals into mineral powder like Blue Star, but it contains a large amount of elemental iron.

Although such elemental iron is generated in different environments and must have countless impurities, varying in softness and hardness, and all indicators are messy, it is a metal after all and has a certain strength and ductility. It is difficult for an ordinary crusher to crush it. They crumble, so the next best thing is to cut them into smaller pieces.

Anyway, the heating method of the flame talisman array is somewhat similar to the heating of the medium frequency furnace. It starts heating inside the metal, so the size of the materials has little impact on their melting.

However, it is naturally not as fast as the melting speed of mineral powder, but Yang Qing uses a flame talisman array, which is a conforming talisman array. The more it is superimposed, the higher the temperature will be.

The most important thing is that this thing is superimposed to the extreme, and can even reach temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees, which is perfect for melting ore.

If compounds with lower boiling points are not considered, it can suddenly raise the temperature to more than 5,000 degrees.

There are not one but dozens or hundreds of such metal refining furnaces. The raw ore from the mine is excavated, then transported by truck, sent through the conveyor belt, where it is sorted and turned into pure aluminum. Iron, copper and most importantly titanium.

Although the metal particles formed by the condensation of steam are a large number and the purity is extremely amazing, they take on a sponge shape due to simple condensation.

But the shape doesn’t matter much, the ratio matters.

70% iron, 20% titanium, and 10% aluminum are fused together according to the mass ratio to form a new titanium-iron-aluminum alloy.

This alloy can withstand low temperatures close to absolute zero without significant change in strength. The softening phenomenon occurs only at temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius. It is stronger than ordinary pure titanium alloys.

Probably the only difference between it and ordinary titanium alloy is that it is heavier and not suitable as a material for aircraft.

The alloy material is manufactured and then immediately enters the forming workshop.

Red-hot alloy materials will not only not oxidize in a vacuum environment, but can also maintain a high temperature state for a long time, allowing them to be easily processed in the next step and turned into various profiles.

Of course, the initial application of these alloy materials is still reflected in robots.

Although the number of robots in the entire base now exceeds 2,000, for the entire moon, this number is still far away. Xiao Ai plans to have the number of robots exceed 10,000 during this moonlit night.

Such a quantity can barely support the next expansion of the lunar base, which is to connect the area of ​​​​10,000 square kilometers as the first city built by humans on the moon.

The Lunar Base must be opened. This is a certain thing, but the Moon Palace Base contains too many secrets and cannot be put in front of everyone without reservation.

Therefore, Yang Qing plans to build various buildings outside the Moon Palace to serve as residential areas, hotels, etc. In the future, he may also provide certain laboratories for countries and scientists on Blue Star.

All of this relies on the metal refining furnace, the refined metal, and the alloy frame made of it.

According to the situation on the moon, metal container-type buildings are the most convenient and easiest to build. Of course, with the demand in the future, long-span steel structure buildings may also appear.

Anyway, in the short term, unless you dig holes on the moon, there will never be reinforced concrete.

The alternate use of metal wool, aerosols, and a variety of insulation materials can make the most troublesome insulation problem of this type of building simpler.

In fact, on the moon, in addition to being isolated from the high temperature of more than 100 degrees caused by direct sunlight, when you stay in a building, you don't have to worry about the low temperature of more than 100 degrees on a moonlit night.

Because the vacuum environment on the lunar surface is like a thermos, the heat inside cannot be dissipated at all.

Therefore, in a vacuum, cooling is far more urgent than heating up.

The metal solution, in the form of 3D printing, under the control of Xiao Ai, prints the parts of the robot with a droplet size of 0.01 mm in diameter.

Although it is in a vacuum, with the help of the frost array, the droplets will solidify in a few microseconds, quickly printing out the parts of the robot one by one.

Dozens of 3D printers are lined up in a row, linked to the metal smelting furnace, and soon you can see pieces of silver-white bodies being formed from the inside, then pushed out, sent to the conveyor belt, and assembled by countless robots.

Although the base has not refined silicon and made silicon chips so far, Xiao Ai has brought millions of standard chaos architecture chips from the moon, which can serve as the brain of the robot.

There are also more artificial muscle reserves, which can be used by Xiao Ai to create at least 50,000 robots.
