With all the equipment in place, Mo Nv arranged for everything to be moved into the hangar in an orderly manner. Aside from parts that were difficult to transport, all other components were manufactured at the base.
The largest component, the aircraft shell, was mainly produced using 3D printing technology. This saved materials and allowed the fuselage to be formed as a single piece.
Just as equipment installation began in Hangar No. 2, good news arrived from Building No. 1 at headquarters.
The equipment needed for the moon landing had been fully prepared.
Laid out before Chen Mo was all the equipment required for the moon landing.
It included Lunar Soil 3D Printers, Lunar Excavators, Lunar Tunnel Shield Machine Robots, Transport Robots, Construction Robots, Intelligent Transport Robots, Ground Drilling Robots, Geological Exploration Robots, Data Acquisition Robots, Lunar Seismographs, Illumination Robots, and Small Helium-3 Extraction Robots.
The Lunar Soil 3D Printer was manufactured using 3D printing technology. Its function was to use lunar soil to print the lunar bricks needed for base construction. It was only the size of two refrigerators and had a rather special design, made from materials resistant to both heat and cold. It could print lunar bricks as large as one square meter, after which Construction Robots would build the base.
The Lunar Tunnel Shield Machine Robot had a different structure from tunnel shield machines on Earth. It had two drill heads, one round and one pointed. It was not large, with a diameter of only 1.5 meters, and was mainly used to expand tunnels. When its mechanical legs extended, it could reach a height of 3.5 meters, and its drill heads could move freely, enough to expand the tunnels as needed.
The Small Helium-3 Extraction Robot was a machine designed to extract Helium-3 in advance. More
