Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Time flies and it is June. Nothing much has happened in the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e, Liu Lan and Li Mingmei are all very pregnant, after all, they are already three months pregnant. Jin Lili's belly is also slightly bulging, but because of Lou Xiao'e's quadruplets' big belly, the neighbors don't even suspect that her belly is too big too early.

This can be considered a blessing in disguise for her, and she can continue to take care of her pregnancy in the yard.

Xu Damao has not been to the Baikonur Space Center recently, so rubber products are sufficient for the time being. In recent days, the ceiling of the lunar community has been sealed by Xu Damao using special glass.

Now the entire community is like a big cement tank, which is firmly tied to two rock walls and the ground, with a steel frame and special glass roof on top.

For safety reasons, Xu Damao divided the interior into 27 cubic spaces, each of which was 30*30*30=cubic meters, and were separated by steel frames, concrete frames and special glass as usual.

The airlock passages between each cube were made using the hatches obtained from the Russian bear.

Why does it look a bit similar to a certain movie - "Dimensional"?

Never mind, safety first!

Seen from the side, it is divided into three layers. The top layer is prepared for laying solar panels, otherwise the direct sunlight will make the greenhouse too hot.

There is a solar panel on top that covers a part of it, and the light leaking through the gaps is enough for the two floors below.

After the fine processing production line is set up, the upper layer will be transformed into a solar matrix that can automatically rotate according to the angle of sunlight.

The second layer is also a buffer zone. The main concern is that if the upper layer is broken, wouldn’t the people living inside be doomed?

So there is no plan to do anything with the second floor for now, so just leave it empty for future use.

We will study how to dissipate exhaust and heat from the upper two layers later.

The main base on the moon does not have the ability for fine processing and no assembly lines, not to mention the industrial capacity of the Crescent Kingdom. Xu Damao does not know how to build an ecological base on the moon, let alone place orders with other countries - so he can only take one step at a time.

Just make it like an H-explosion-proof bunker, and focus on making it sturdy and durable.

The third floor, which is the bottom layer, has 9 cubic spaces, and this is where Xu Damao plans to build the community.

Without further ado, we started with the greening. We planned to plant more than 50 square meters of plants in each cube. Once the air was ready, we could talk about building the house.

A cube was recently started. The soil has been laid and trees have been transplanted. An artificial pond has also been built. There is no rush to build a house. To put it bluntly, as long as the oxygen and temperature inside can be controlled, people can survive even if they only build a shed here.

So recently we are adjusting and monitoring the oxygen content, temperature, light, etc. There is a lot of waste gas and waste water, so Xu Damao made a special pipeline to connect it to another cube to see how to adjust it to achieve a balance.

Today, when Xu Damao went to Da Piaoliang to buy things, he discovered a very important problem.

The Woolly Bear National Exhibit is now on display at the New York Coliseum!

Mao Xiong and Da Piaoliang started to cooperate?

They worked together during the Cold War?!

Xu Damao was eating popcorn and drinking Coke on the street, searching his meager historical knowledge in his mind. Xu Damao always felt that this foreshadowed something, as if something important happened in June and he had forgotten it?

In June 59, the Bear Country Exhibition was held in the New York Coliseum, and in July the Great Beautiful Exhibition opened in Moscow. The two countries showed off their strength in all aspects, including fashion shows, IBM computers with only 6M memory, and various high-tech products for daily life...

These are not the main points. No matter how much they love and hate each other, it has nothing to do with Xu Damao. The main point is that Xu Damao remembered——

It was in this June that the Russian bear unilaterally tore up the national defense technology agreement and refused to provide China with mushroom bomb production technology data!

The knowledge points from high school were strung together in Xu Damao’s mind!

In 58, the "Long Wave D Station" and "United J Team" incidents began;

In 59, the Russians stopped providing China with mushroom bomb samples and technical materials for producing mushroom bombs. Later, in the border conflict between China and the White Elephant, the Russians openly sided with the White Elephant, and the differences between China and the Russians were made public.

In July 60, Russia unilaterally tore up the expert contract between it and China. Shortly thereafter, more than 7 Russia experts in China were withdrawn one after another, marking the bankruptcy of the two countries' cooperation model of "dispatching and hiring experts" during the Cold War.

Even if you kill Xu Damao, he can't get the samples and information of the mushroom bomb, so there is no rush to develop according to the original timeline.

The steel mills have just been merged and are increasing their output, but if all the experts suddenly withdraw next year, it will deal a huge blow to the mills, and the same will apply to all industries.

Moreover, natural disasters will continue next year, and we will still have to pay back the debt to Russia. If all these things are combined at the same time - won't it be a mess?

Xu Damao felt that he should give a reminder to the higher-ups, at least the steel mill and Li Huaide had to be prepared.

So I didn’t have the heart to continue visiting the exhibition, and when the moon came out, I returned to the courtyard.

The next day at work, Xu Damao went to find Li Huaide immediately.

"Brother Li, do we have backup copies of the drawings of the experts sent by the Russian bear?"

Li Huaide was puzzled. Why did you, the great artist Xu Damao, suddenly become concerned about production matters?

"I don't know if you ask me. Director Yang is in charge of production."

"I don't think there are any backups? Their design drawings and various process and technical drawings are all in Russian and English. I have never seen any in Chinese."

"The technical department is also working with the bear experts, but I have never heard of any backup of this information."

"They came all the way here to help, give technical guidance and production instruction, and you're still taking their lives. That's a bit too much."

"As for whether or not you have learned it, and how much you have learned, that is the business of the technical department and those old masters. Forget about the backup. There are only a few translators assigned to our factory, and you wouldn't be able to understand it even if I gave it to you."

Li Huaide and Xu Damao rolled their eyes. Nowadays, let alone the experts on the Russian bear, even the senior workers in their own factory kept their skills secret, for fear that they would teach their apprentices and starve to death.

It's already good enough that the Russian experts can come to support us, and you even want to back up their drawings and materials - isn't this idea too weird?

"Da Mao, your idea is too much. I have to criticize you for this!"

On the issue of right and wrong, Li Huaide did not give Xu Damao any face. It is wrong for you to have such an idea. How can you be worthy of those Russian experts who came to support the construction!

"Brother Li, don't rush to criticize me. I'll give you an example—"

"What if Russia turns against us one day and the experts suddenly withdraw? We have so many newly launched projects and factories in Guojia. Suddenly, we don't have expert guidance, and we don't even have a backup of the relevant drawings and materials—"

"What do you mean by that time?"

Xu Damao stared at Li Huaide very seriously and asked in a cold voice, word by word.
