Yesterday, one of my popular science articles about the moon was reported.
The reason for this is that there may be ambiguity in the title of the work.
I agree with this reason, because this article is indeed a bit of a headline.
So I was beaten and changed the title to: We have already planned to develop the moon? Ah, you guys playing really?
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
I can't afford to play stalks, I can't afford to joke, I feel like I've stimulated some big breeders in this article?
Okay, let's not play with the stalk this time, let's get to the bottom of the eight classics and popularize science with everyone.
No kidding, develop the moon, China is really ready.
Difficulty 1 in developing the moon: Where does the water come from?
Before China's Chang'e-5 went to the moon, only two countries on Earth had brought back lunar soil, the Soviet Union and the United States.
According to their samples and related studies, lunar soil is very dry and does not contain any moisture.
Therefore, if you want to build a base on the moon, how to replenish the water source is a huge problem!
As a result, the lunar soil brought back by Chang'e-5 actually hammered the lunar soil with water, although the content is pitiful, there are about 120 grams of water in 1 ton of lunar soil.
Okay, problem solved.
Difficulty 2 in developing the moon: Where to build the lunar base?
The temperature on the surface of the moon can reach 120+ degrees Celsius when it is directly sunlight, and it can drop to -180+ degrees Celsius at night!
The temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 300 degrees Celsius, and ordinary materials can't bear it at all!
Harbin Institute of Technology came up with a genius plan - to build a base under the Moon Sea Cave!

Okay, problem solved.
Difficulty 3 in developing the moon: where does the energy come from?
I thought it would be solar, after all, so much solar energy is not in vain.
But look at the other two news -
There is a lot of helium-3 on the moon, and if we continue to make breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion, it will be just around the corner to turn the moon into our oil depot!
Of course, if you have to ask, if you want to build a base on the moon today, what is the best way to solve the energy problem?
Solar, no problem, good, problem solved.
Difficulty 4 in the development of the moon: what to do with building materials?
This is the simplest, according to the analysis of lunar soil, there are some materials in the lunar soil that can be 3D printed.
Okay, problem solved.
Difficulty 5 in developing the moon: what about food?
When they heard that lunar soil could not be planted, the majority of Chinese children were so sorry that they cried.
If you can't grow vegetables on the moon, how can you solve the food problem?
Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal!
So, if you look at the news in China in recent years, you will find that we have already made a lot of preparations for exploring the universe!
