208 Micrometeors

Although the road surface roughness caused by this defect may only be a few millimeters, it effectively avoids the problem of wheel slippage.

The huge bulldozer chased Yang Qing all the way, and soon pushed out an absolutely level road without any slope.

If the distance is farther, there may be bends caused by the curvature of the ground, but it is only twenty kilometers, even if a little more is cut off in the middle and there are a little more things blocking the front of the bulldozer, it will not affect the road surface. flat.

The twenty-meter-wide road left one meter of roadbed on both sides, which was also eighteen meters wide. After a few turns of the bulldozer, the road was completely flattened. Now, the colors of various minerals have long since disappeared from the entire road. , covered by a layer of sand and dust.

The power of the high-frequency vibration caused the stone near the tip of the shovel to be directly shattered into powder, even smaller than moon dust.

As the bulldozers moved forward, they flew up and quickly landed on the ground. Even without the influence of air, they were evenly spread on the road.

However, these things still have a certain impact on the road surface, because they directly fill up the roughness that has been intentionally left. Vehicles will inevitably slip when driving on it. Therefore, after the road was cleared, bulldozers came to set up the fusion reactor. After the venue, a sweeper came out immediately.

Several vacuum cleaners adsorbed on the road, collecting all the fine dust on it and entering it into the sealed compartment.

At this time, Yang Qing had already petrified an area of ​​one square kilometer twenty kilometers away. There was a gap with the extending road, and they split from here.

In Yang Qing's hometown, every winter, the road surface, especially the asphalt road surface, will be frozen with cracks.

Although cement concrete is better, it is only because of the expansion joints reserved.

However, the temperature changes on the moon are much greater than those in the Northeast. Temperature differences of several hundred degrees can be extremely damaging to the road surface.

This is why even after digging more than ten meters deep into the ground, the exposed stones are still in a broken state. Not only due to lunar earthquakes, but also the extremely cold and extremely hot temperature changes are also a crucial factor.

Looking at the big bulldozers spinning around below, leveling the ground, Yang Qing stood silently in the sky, recovering the real energy he had just consumed.

Suddenly, his consciousness moved, and his body moved towards the building next to him without any warning. An almost invisible black shadow passed by him.

He looked in the direction where the black shadow fell, only to see a cloud of dust splashing up on the hazy ground, which quickly disappeared.

This is a micrometeor. In fact, since landing on the moon, dozens of micrometeors and small meteorites have fallen within the base.

In fact, more meteors fall on the blue star, but the blue star is protected by a huge atmosphere. Most of these micro-meteors do not reach the ground and burn up in the air.

In fact, the meteor showers we see in Leo or other constellations are just the way these micrometeors burn in the air. The constellations are actually just the directions in which they enter the atmosphere.

A few relatively large meteors will fall to the ground and turn into meteorites. Even larger ones may be a devastating disaster.

For example, the one that fell into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago directly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. For thousands of years, the entire Blue Star was covered in smoke and volcanic ash, and the entire world entered an unprecedented ice age.

This is the reason for the rise of warm-blooded mammals, because their adaptation to cold environments far exceeds that of reptiles of the same era.

These micro-meteors also caused some damage to the base, but so far, the biggest loss suffered by the base was just an engineering vehicle, which had a hole in its outer shell.

Of course, meteorites that are too large cannot enter the base. On top of the base, the electromagnetic gun is in a ready state and can be fired at any time to smash large meteorites that enter the base.

In the future, when solar panels and fusion reactors are built on the moon, the base will build a protective shield covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers, which will be completely immune to the attacks of these micrometeors.

It is for this reason that he made a temporary decision to build the fusion reactor above the ground, which was originally planned to be built underground.

Although there are threats from micrometeors and meteorites on the ground, the protective shield established for this experimental reactor is enough to withstand direct impacts from micrometeors weighing less than ten kilograms.

As for anything over ten kilograms, it falls under the control of the base's space defense system.

Don't forget that there are numerous laser equipment on the base.

Laser has excellent performance under vacuum conditions and can even attack locations millions of kilometers away without the energy being too dispersed.

Its energy level has already exceeded the most advanced products on Blue Star by dozens of times. A large meteorite will break, evaporate, etc., after being concentratedly irradiated for more than ten seconds, and turn into small fragments. Become harmless to humans and animals.

With the ground cleaning work completed, several large carrier vehicles carrying core modules and other components have already driven over from the base.

Although the existence of the anti-gravity talisman can completely float these vehicles, there is no atmosphere like the Blue Star on the moon. The vehicle can move forward by absorbing air and then ejecting it.

Although the method of jumping gravity lines can allow vehicles to push their bodies in a medium-free environment, this technology was only discovered after the spacecraft flew into the universe, and there was no time to modify them.

And close to the lunar surface, the gravitational lines are too dense. Without a long period of experiments, it is impossible to find a suitable gravitational line to move forward.

Unless you fly to high altitudes like those flying saucers, you can use the method of converting gravitational lines to freely change the state of flight.

Therefore, although anti-gravity equipment is better, it is difficult to operate at low altitudes, and using jet propulsion also wastes limited air resources.

Even the gas distilled from the lunar soil is a valuable asset of the base and cannot be wasted.

Anyway, now, using ground transportation has become the most economical method of transportation. For this reason, Yang Qing even did not hesitate to build a road.

The road was very flat and the vehicle was driving very fast. Within a few minutes, it had arrived at the predetermined location.

After arriving at the location, without using Yang Qing's wisdom at all, a dozen robots jumped out of the car and started their work.

The outer layer of the huge, nearly ten-meter-diameter reactor was removed first.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the reactor operation, this experimental reactor adopts a five-layer structure. In the middle of each layer, there is an inward pressure array, as well as an increasingly stronger metal and non-metal hybrid structure, which is the legendary Cermet.
