When our astronauts venture outside the camp for research activities, we ensure that they are well-equipped and adequately protected. Our astronauts wear specialized extravehicular spacesuits that are designed to protect the wearer from the vacuum of space, extreme temperatures, and micrometeoroids. The lunar rover they use for transportation is similarly engineered to provide reliable mobility while keeping our astronauts completely safe.
Our commitment to safety and protection is paramount, and we take great pride in knowing that our astronauts are secure and well-protected while conducting their important research activities on the lunar surface.
Water：
Water ice is used as the primary source of water for the moon camp, and a water circulation system is also constructed to lessen water resources’ waste. In daily life, we will store a lot of water in the water tank, and at the same time, the water recycling equipment will collect all the liquids and purify them, realizing water recycling. When collecting water ice, we utilize the mechanical arm hot drill on the lunar rover to melt water ice.
Food：
In order to maintain a consistent power supply and ensure uninterrupted operation of the lunar camp, we have implemented a dual-power system that utilizes the advantages of both photovoltaic power generation and fuel cell power storage. During daylight hours, we harness the power of the sun to produce electricity, while utilizing excess energy to store power for later use in fuel cell storage.
By employing this hybrid system, our lunar base can operate during times without sunlight or when additional power is required. Our innovative approach ensures a steady and reliable energy supply, enabling our astronauts to conduct thorough and uninterrupted scientific research while on the lunar surface.

Air：
The safety and well-being of our astronauts are of utmost concern, and to that end, we have established efficient and reliable sources of oxygen at the lunar base. The majority of our oxygen comes from a sophisticated electrolysis process using water, which is then carefully monitored and circulated throughout the base.
In addition, we have a small but efficient ecological system that employs single-celled algae and specific plant species within specially designed ecological warehouses and planting rooms to produce supplemental oxygen. All of our systems are designed for maximum efficiency and sustainability, ensuring that our astronauts have access to a constant supply of breathable air while conducting their research activities on the moon.
Our moon base must efficiently handle the garbage produced by the astronauts in order to maintain a viable and useful lunar home. Sorting the waste into several categories, such as hazardous materials, organic waste, and non-organic waste, would be the first stage. The lunar soil can be fertilized by composting organic waste, including food scraps and biological waste, to grow plants. Through cutting-edge technologies created especially for space exploration, non-organic trash like plastic and metal can be recycled. Chemicals and radioactive waste, for example, must be properly contained and sent back to Earth for proper disposal.
