Food: There are two main sources of food for the lunar base of the vehicle model. One is to carry seeds and plant plants, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., in the planting area inside the lunar base to provide astronauts with their daily dietary needs; The second is to meet the energy needs of astronauts by carrying nutritious fast food, nutritious beverages, etc.
Power: We will install a large number of solar panels on the lunar base of the vehicle model, converting solar energy into electrical energy for various equipment and work on the lunar base of the vehicle model. In addition, we will also develop and use more efficient and energy-saving equipment and technologies to minimize energy waste as much as possible, in order to ensure the sustainable development of the vehicle model lunar base.
Air: Our lunar base will be equipped with an air pressure and atmosphere control system to maintain appropriate air pressure and oxygen concentration. We will extract water from the lunar soil and use electrolytic water to produce oxygen. We will also install air filters to remove dust and harmful particles from the base.
Water: There is a lot of water in the moon and lunar soil, and we will extract it and use ice water to produce water. We will also be equipped with a water vapor condenser, which uses solar panels to heat the surface of lunar dust, evaporate the water, and then convert the water vapor into liquid water through the condenser. At the same time, we will also heat the glass bead on the moon surface to obtain water resources.
Our lunar camp will establish a waste disposal area, which includes waste processors, compressors, and collection and reuse machines. These devices will be used to dispose of waste generated by astronauts on the moon, such as food waste, tissue, and other household waste. Firstly, the waste will be placed in a compressor, compressed into smaller volumes, and then sent to the waste processor for further processing. The waste processor will use chemical reactions to convert organic waste into fertilizers and water, while also converting inorganic waste into reusable materials. Finally, the collection and reuse machine will reuse the processed materials, reduce the amount of materials we need to transport from Earth, and ensure the sustainability and environmental responsibility of the lunar camp.
