201 Electromagnetic Shielding

Yang Qing put on his space suit and flew out of the base lightly.

The biggest problem of living on a planet without air is that without air to reflect light, his vision will always be black. Even if he is close at hand, he cannot see the color of the light.

However, a clean environment is quite friendly to electromagnetic waves. Even without the ionosphere on Blue Star, medium and short-wave electromagnetic waves would not have the ability to propagate globally.

However, their straight-line transmission capabilities have been enhanced. Even the 4G communication technology used by Xiao Ai has been greatly improved. Signals can be easily transmitted within at least fifty kilometers without the need for additional signal towers.

The same reason is that there is no protection from the magnetic field on the moon, so various cosmic rays and charged particles brought by the solar wind can also be blown directly to the lunar surface.

Together with the deep space background radiation, these have caused serious interference to electromagnetic wave communications.

It doesn't matter now. The base's transmitting power is sufficient and the distance is not too far. After repeated frequency hopping and frequency conversion, the signal can finally be transmitted.

This is also because the machines sent out are all intelligent machines, which are stronger than the weak artificial intelligence based on big data on Blue Star. Therefore, the data that needs to be transmitted back and forth is not too much, so there is no problem of communication interruption.

However, such repeated interference still causes a much higher data packet loss rate, which also reduces the transmission efficiency a lot.

This is a completely new situation. Even Yang Qing has no plan, but they are all mentally prepared. After dawn, when the sun shines directly on the moon, the communication disaster will begin.

Of course, if you use blue star communication methods such as those communication satellites, the effect is actually not bad, but the data transmission capacity will suddenly be reduced to the extreme.

Therefore, in addition to the large-scale still being prepared, there are also future hopes, such as fusion reactors. Yang Qing's goal is to first add an electromagnetic shield to the moon, that is, to build an electromagnetic shield at the north and south poles of the sphere. The global electromagnetic field, at that time, the entire moon's communication system can return to normal.

You can't add a set of space wave communicators to every robot, right?

This thing is not afraid of interference, and the raw materials are not particularly expensive. He has found artificial jade, which is the artificial synthesis method of the space wave communicator material. It can be mass-produced, and the effect is stronger than natural ones.

However, the processing of this thing involves refining. So far, only Yang Qing can refine this kind of thing.

Therefore, large-scale popularization is unrealistic. For the time being, Yang Qing can only add a set of such space wave communication equipment to some essential things.

For example, it would not be placed on a spacecraft exploring deep space or a satellite orbiting the moon, and it would not be placed on the most ordinary robot.

Of course, with the current capabilities, it is still not possible to create a large electromagnetic field that can cover the entire moon. However, it is still possible to shield only a few hundred square kilometers near the base.

Naturally, all of this must wait until the solar panels are installed. Otherwise, there will be no stable energy supply and the electromagnetic field will be difficult to maintain for a long time.

Even if fusion reactors succeed in the future, these solar panels will be the best way to collect energy.

Because the sun occupies more than 90% of the mass of the entire solar system and is undergoing extremely huge fusion reactions.

Even if humans could successfully simulate the fusion reaction of the sun and create their own little sun, its power would still be less than one billionth of the power of the sun.

Yang Qing listened to the noisy guidance sound coming from the earphones, thinking about it as he flew forward.

The moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the Blue Star, and the space suit directly blocks the gravity, so that he does not have to use his true energy to fly, and there is no air resistance here. As long as he flies, There will be no stagnation.

Therefore, for Yang Qing, pure flying consumes more real energy than it replenishes. In other words, if he is willing, he can even circle the moon like a lunar satellite.

However, flying like this won't make you fly any faster, because if you don't pay attention, you will be launched from the moon due to the speed.

Of course, this situation is mainly for novices like Zhao Yuxi. As an experienced driver, Yang Qing has no such worries at all. He can remove the gravity shield of the spacesuit at any time, and he will be attracted back to the moon soon.

The eyes suddenly became brighter, and not far ahead, the sky was no longer the original dark color, but turned into a yellowing mist.

That's where the construction machinery was working. Turning around and looking around, there was still a lot of fog like this. It was the rising moon dust that scattered the color of the light.

However, this did not delay his flight, but as he continued to fly forward, he suddenly fell into a ball of light.

He lowered his head and looked down. It turned out that he had entered the vicinity of the device waiting for him to turn on, and happened to be within the range of a light.

Not far ahead is the lunar soil piled up like a hill.

Yang Qing landed and circled around the assembled equipment. His consciousness penetrated directly through the thick metal shell.

This kind of distillation equipment was completely designed by him and Xiao Ai. All the structures were hidden in his head, so he easily found the key talisman array for activation.

Yang Qing's consciousness lightly pressed the switches at the four corners of the talisman array, and the spiritual energy stored in the spirit stones instantly filled the entire talisman array. The talisman array dimly lit up, giving the entire device an initial power, and then The entire device started to start up.

Over there, a forklift pushed the lunar soil and placed it on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt quickly sent the lunar soil into the crusher, where it was crushed into dust about one millimeter in diameter before it was continued to the next step. , that is, the evaporation distillation part.

You know, there is more than just water and helium in the lunar soil. Tens of billions of tons of iron, aluminum, and a large number of rare earth elements are hidden in it.

If the distiller is only used to extract helium 3 and water, it would be a bit wasteful. After all, for the base, everything is useful and needed, of course, the premise is that it needs to be extracted.

The machine worked silently. Although no sound could be transmitted in the vacuum environment, but just from the vibration of the ground, it was known that it was bearing huge pressure.

Yang Qing activated his true energy and cast a spell that turned mud into stone where the equipment was located. Suddenly, the equipment, which had become a little unstable due to the unstable ground, was immediately firmly bonded to the ground.
