China develops 'lunar bricks', plans to build a base on the Moon. China's permanent base on the Moon will be ready within the next decade for research, check out the details!
Chinese scientists have achieved an impressive new feat by creating 'lunar bricks', more precisely a material that mimics lunar soil. The reason for this is the need for a resistant element to build a base on the moon in the future. Understand everything about the lunar bricks that will build a permanent Chinese base on the Moon.
How does China plan to build its base on the Moon with 'lunar bricks'?
The 'lunar bricks' are being developed by researchers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The bricks for a permanent Chinese base on the moon were produced using a simulant and are three times stronger than conventional concrete or ceramic bricks.
The team, led by Ding Lieyun, has also developed a 3D printing robot that will build a permanent Chinese base on the moon. In an interview with Xinhua, Zhou Cheng, a member of the team, explained that it took five analyses of the variations of the simulated lunar soil, as well as three tests of sintering methods, which allowed them to obtain important data for improving constructions on the moon.

It is worth mentioning that, depending on the region, the lunar soil has different compositions. In the Chan e-5 mission, the soil simulated to build a base on the Moon is predominantly basaltic.
Now, before actually using the lunar bricks for a permanent Chinese base on the Moon, they will undergo tests to see if they can actually withstand the harsh conditions of the place. The expectation is that the lunar bricks will be sent to spacial station to be tested in space during the Tianzhou 8 mission. The first brick should return to Earth by the end of 2025.
China's permanent base on the Moon to be ready by 2035
The lunar environment is hostile, with intense cosmic radiation and temperatures reaching 180°C during the day and dropping to -190°C at night. Another challenge in building a base on the Moon is ensuring that the 'lunar bricks' provide adequate thermal insulation and are resistant to radiation.
To make this possible, the Chinese team plans to send the lunar bricks to the Chinese space station aboard the Tianzhou 9 mission, as previously mentioned, where they will undergo mechanical and thermal resistance tests.
The first brick is expected to return to Earth by the end of 2025. China also recently unveiled a long-term plan to advance space science, with goals including building a permanent Chinese base on the Moon for research between 2028 and 2035.
China has been investing in a base on the Moon since 2017
China plans to build a scientific research station on the Moon. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is leading the construction of the International Lunar Research Station (IRLS), a grand project that has a final goal of 2050. However, the first phase of the lunar base is expected to be completed in 2035, marking an important step for lunar exploration and the development of new technologies.
The ILRS project began in 2017 and already has the support of more than 40 signatories, demonstrating international interest in the development of this lunar station.
A major milestone was the Chang'e-6 mission, which successfully completed the delivery of essential materials for the construction of the base. This mission was supported by the European Space Agency (ESA), which sent the first shipment of materials, signaling the cooperation between major space powers.
Another hoax. Nobody went to the Moon.
Ah, yes, you are the great holder of truth.
true… and the earth is flat… the universe does not exist
If the temperature of the Moon is true, then it is a lie. If they landed on it, they would have died, either roasted or frozen. What do you think?
I think you missed science class
MOON: 180 degrees Celsius...it will be possible to build there...hahahaha
China is simply fabulous. Every day we are more and more surprised by its technological advances, its innovation and its remarkable achievements. I consider it a great example for Brazil and for all the other countries that were (and many still are) exploited, robbed and oppressed by Europe. Observe the Chinese awakening, which, like the phoenix, is reborn imposingly from the ashes.
These achievements are only possible because the Chinese state is led by the CCP. Its goal is to expand the common good for all humanity in the long term.
He simply removed the collar that kept her on and kicked the mongrel syndrome, common in Brazilians, especially under the tutelage of many so-called unscrupulous shepherds, and eating in better served huts.
There is no slow and costly process of democracy, where you have to buy the opinion of a majority for things to happen. The government wants to do something and does it.
Brazil's problem is corrupt politicians and the **** System.
