The experiment involved building a small mine on the moon.

The content of the mine is digging, separating and finally obtaining helium 3.

Why Controlled Fusion Needs Helium 3

Because the helium 3 nucleus contains two protons and one neutron, few neutrons are generated during the thermonuclear fusion reaction with the isotopic plutonium of hydrogen, so the radioactivity is small, the reaction process is easy to control, and it is environmentally friendly and safe.

According to the current moon resource data held by the Xia Guoren, as long as the helium three storage location has a large depth of 3m, 10 square kilometers to 15 square kilometers of lunar soil, about 1 ton of helium 3 can be obtained.

The abundance of such rich minerals is quite surprising, because the planet inhabited by humans covers the thick atmosphere and blocks the solar wind, making helium 3 difficult to reach directly, so the natural reserves of helium 3 on the earth are very low, not exceeding a total 10 tons.

Excavating three meters of lunar soil in 10 to 15 square kilometers will yield a meal of helium III. Dig deeper, or the area is wider, to obtain more helium 3 than the entire earth contains.

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

If all of them are used for controlled nuclear fusion, Xia will only need more than 10 tons of helium 3 every year to supply all the energy in the country, and the world will only need more than 100 tons every year.

The energy here is not only electrical energy, but also energy from oil and gas.

The Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center experimented with the helium 3 mineral on the moon to calculate the true mining cost.

If the cost is less than the cost of thermal power, hydropower and nuclear fission reactors currently used by humans, then Xia Guo's next step will be to build a base based on scientific research, living, and helium three mines based on the moon base. The energy problems of 10,000 years or more have been resolved.

If Pangu Technology's nuclear fusion thruster, humans can go deeper into the universe.

The mine experimental project is also jointly cooperated by Pangu Technology and Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center.

At first, the lunar experiment set by the Xia Guo aerospace department was not a mine, but a biological laboratory. I hope to cooperate with Pangu Science and Technology to try to use the lunar soil to grow human-edible crops.

This plan seems perfect, but it has major flaws.

What is the composition of the moon's soil? Most of them are glassy silica, and it doesn't matter whether other substances contained in the soil are harmful to the crop. Glassy silica is difficult to grow out of the crop.

If Xia Guo carried out the moon planting experiment, it wouldn't matter much about the investment, and it would not achieve good results. Deep space exploration can be done at no cost, but knowing that there is no result and investment, it is either stupid or stupid.

Some experts at the Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center have also proposed to use the moon to try large-scale farm-like soilless cultivation experiments.

This proposal was also rejected by Pangu Technology.

What is the purpose of large-scale soilless cultivation experiments? The goal is to make food for astronauts living in the moon base. The topic returned to the ecological cabin of Pangu Technology.

Since the ecological cabin can achieve material conservation, astronauts can persist for the longest time with the fewest replenishment. In addition, the technology of the ecological cabin is relatively mature, and there is no comparison with soilless cultivation where the moon tries to spend a lot of time and money.

Finally, because of the persistence of Pangu Science and Technology, the Moon Exploration Center adopted the recommendations of mineral research and abandoned the experiment of crops.

In terms of deep space exploration, neither the Xia Guo Lunar Exploration Center nor Pangu Technology has enough experience, so it is normal to discuss such problems, and the truth is becoming clearer and clearer.

Technical discussions don't stop there.

The Lunar Exploration Center instructs Pangu Technology to launch rockets and launch the world's first truly civilian quantum satellite.

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

Large launch vehicles were developed to accommodate the increasing frequency of deep space exploration.

This proposal was rejected by Pangu Technology.

The reason is the same as the planting test on the moon-it is worthless.

The kinetic energy provided by chemical fuels can be calculated in detail in the laboratory. It is completely able to speculate that it will not be able to meet future deep space exploration. If we follow the old path of rocket development, humans will not be able to transport heavier and larger equipment into space in their lifetime , Not to mention long-distance sailing.

However, the controllable fusion engine provides new possibilities for the aerospace industry. The powerful kinetic energy it provides is definitely not comparable to that of today's chemical propellants ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ So Pangu Technology will also reject Xiaguo Lunar Exploration Center And Xia Guo aerospace center's proposal for joint research and development of rockets is not that the two sides have no possibility of cooperation, but that all cooperation needs to wait for Pangu Technology's controllable fusion technology to mature later.

This rational judgment of Pangu Technology has become arrogant and unreasonable to experts.

However, everyone is for the aerospace cause of Xia Guo, so the choice of Pangu technology is quite tolerant.

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

"There must be a reason why Pangu Technology is unwilling to cooperate immediately. We should give it more trust."

"As long as we don't cooperate with Miguo, our proposal is not necessarily mature, maybe Pangu Technology will have a better idea."

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

Voices similar to this are the mainstream of Xia Guo's aerospace academia. Tolerance and respect are the mainstream voices that should emerge 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. This time is much longer than originally expected, and it also exceeds the expectations of the international community.

According to the requirements, the two will have a video call with the ground control center every three hours during non-rest periods.

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

Small-scale mine experiments are also on track, and are mining and refining helium III.

Astronaut Xia Guo continued his scientific research on the Moon while the 76th International Astronautical Congress was about to be held in Washington, D.C.
