Chapter 240: You only want this little?
"Good heavens, this aerospace base is truly massive."
Wang Cheng began to say as soon as he arrived at the base.
"That goes without saying. After all, for a rocket to reach the sky, the supporting work is absolutely indispensable."
"Without cooling towers, would you want the rocket to reach the sky? Then you might as well roast the ground first,"
Wan Hui said.
The implication in his words was still about the cooling components.
"However, why did Minister Liu have us come here?"
"Could it be that Factory Manager Zhang is working on some space project recently?"
"Isn't Factory Manager Zhang in the military industry sector?"
An Suozhang asked, puzzled.
After all, An Suozhang works on medical equipment.
He basically pays no attention to these things in his daily life.
"I suspect so, but that shouldn't be possible,"
Wang Cheng was the first to think of a possibility.
But he immediately indicated that this conjecture was somewhat impossible.
"Are you saying?"
"I haven't received any news recently."
"The time given by the state to those experts in the aerospace field at the last meeting was four years from now, wasn't it?"
"Could it be that they have defied the heavens and caught up on the project progress by four years?"
Wan Hui also felt it was somewhat impossible, saying.
These two, one singing and one harmonizing.
Almost directly caused An Suozhang to turn red with embarrassment.
"What are you two talking about!"
"Why can't I understand a word of it?"
"No, you really don't know?"
Wan Hui said, somewhat incredulously.
"I really don't know!"
An Suozhang immediately spread his hands.
Indicating that he truly knew nothing.
"No, you chased us all the way here, just to get your hands on Helium-3."
"Do you dare say you really don't know?"
"Is this interesting?"
Wang Cheng said speechlessly.
"I really don't know."
"I swear to heaven."
An Suozhang was truly helpless at this point.
Seeing this, Wang Cheng was also speechless.
"Come, let me test you. What is the reserve of Helium-3 on Earth?"
Wang Cheng said to An Suozhang.
"The reserve on Earth is only five tons."
An Suozhang said immediately.
"Then, where can one find enough Helium-3?"
Wang Cheng kept guiding him, saying.
"I really don't know."
Wang Cheng was also truly helpless.
He said directly: "Our coming here is the greatest evidence."
"The Helium-3 reserve on Earth is extremely scarce."
"However, the reserve on the Moon is very abundant."
"It's estimated there are at least several million tons."
"The country's lunar exploration project must have made tremendous progress."
"At the very least, it must be able to reach the lunar surface."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have let us come here."
"And there wouldn't be enough Helium-3."
"But don't think you'll get much."
"After all, how much can a return capsule carry?"
"Having a few dozen kilograms would be the limit."
Hearing this, An Suozhang suddenly realized and said: "So that's how it is."
"I really didn't know this before."
Just as he was speaking.
Minister Liu suddenly came in and said to them: "Follow me, Factory Manager Zhang is back."
The three of them immediately rushed out, following Minister Liu.
And inside the Kunpeng.
Zhang Wen leisurely landed the Kunpeng on the runway of the aerospace base.
Then he prepared to disembark.
As soon as he opened the cabin door.
He saw several people rushing over.
"Factory Manager Zhang!"
"I am Wang Cheng!"
"I am Wan Hui!"
"I am An Ran!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Zhang Wen said immediately.
"What are you all doing!"
"I must tell you!"
"This is the territory of the Great East, and taking action here will incur legal responsibility!"
Zhang Wen hurriedly struck a defensive pose.
Seeing this, the three of them realized a misunderstanding had been triggered.
They hurriedly turned their gaze toward Minister Liu, who was walking over slowly behind them.
Hoping he could explain things for the three of them.
And Zhang Wen finally saw someone familiar.
"Minister Liu, why are you here?"
Although the person Zhang Wen interacts with the most is Minister Yang—after all, one is a genius in the military industry field, and the other is the Minister in charge of the military industry.
Familiarity is natural.
But Zhang Wen also conducts scientific research, so naturally, he also has to interact with Minister Liu, who is in charge of scientific research.
Zhang Wen's academician title was nominated by Minister Yang, Minister Liu, and many other bigwigs together.
"Alright, alright, don't be nervous."
"I say, you really are busy, not even attending the scientific research conference."
Minister Liu jokingly reprimanded Zhang Wen.
"Heh, I was busy doing research, haha."
Zhang Wen laughed.
Subsequently, Minister Liu introduced them to Zhang Wen.
"This is Wang Cheng, currently the lead in the nuclear fusion field."
"This is Wan Hui, currently the person in charge of the quantum computer field."
"This is An Ran, Director An, the main researcher in the medical equipment field."
"They are also academicians. If you had attended the meeting last time, you would have known them."
Minister Liu explained.
"So that's how it is."
"However, why are you all looking for me?"
Zhang Wen was a bit bewildered.
After all, three people, three completely different industries.
They had absolutely nothing to do with him.
"Let me say it."
Minister Liu saw the three of them currently speechless.
He probably guessed their thoughts.
He said directly: "Didn't you bring back some Helium-3 from the Moon?"
"Yes."
Zhang Wen said.
"I tell you, this Helium-3 on the Moon is really not easy to mine."
"Most of it exists in the lunar soil, and if you want to extract it,"
"you have to heat it to at least 1000 degrees Celsius on the Moon to barely extract a little bit."
"It's truly too troublesome."
"So I thought of a good method on the Moon."
"Doesn't the lunar soil glass layer contain a large amount of helium bubbles?"
"Their diameters are between 5 and 25 nanometers."
"The atomic disordered stacking structure possessed by these surface glasses can be destroyed."
"Once destroyed, the Helium-3 will precipitate."
"I came up with a mechanical crushing method on the Moon."
"And managed to get this Helium-3."
"To store this Helium-3, I even finished off my oxygen storage."
"That's why I came back so quickly this time."
Zhang Wen said with excitement.
After all, being able to, in that environment on the Moon,"
"through his own wisdom, in just a few days,"
"land a scientific research method into concrete measures,"
"could no longer be described as just a genius."
"Alright, alright."
"I won't say much more."
"The three of them heard you brought back Helium-3,"
"and they rushed outside my office to argue."
"They are all experts in various fields in the Great East."
"Look, see if you can, without affecting your research,"
"give them a little bit."
Minister Liu said in a conciliatory tone.
"Yes, yes, yes, I only need one kilogram," Wang Cheng said immediately.
"I only need 500 grams," Wan Hui said.
"I need 200 grams, that's enough. I mainly want to experiment to see if the role of Helium-3 in the medical industry is really that significant," An Suozhang said immediately.
"Huh?"
"You only want this little?"
Zhang Wen said, somewhat bewildered.
