And a very important part of these functions is technology and wearing new technologies. The rise of China will depend on technology and innovation. Without foreign help, we can create so many high-tech products in our own homes through independent research and development, break down the barriers set by other countries, and let China develop continuously.
When China applied to join the space program and enter the International Space Station, it was flatly rejected by the countries led by the United States because we didn't have the strength to match the space station. They make us lose the motivation to develop, lose the opportunity to explore space, and then be left behind forever, so that we will always be restricted and oppressed under the rules formulated by them.

But unexpectedly, we broke through the tight encirclement on our own, and the aerospace project was in full swing. From the launch of the first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, to the successful return of the first manned spacecraft to Earth, we have been working hard to explore, and now our strength has entered the international leading position, which can compete with western developed countries.
In 20 12 years, China's space experiment will reach a new level. From launching a Mars probe to naturalization, we will dig on the moon. Collect samples of lunar soil and rocks. The mission was completed by Chang 'e V, and the planned steps were that the probe landed on the moon, collected samples, lifted off and brought the samples back to Earth.
rocket launching
This is the first time in 44 years of human space history that a spacecraft has brought back a sample of the moon, setting a new record. China is also the third country to do so after the United States and the former Soviet Union. This action is certainly the envy of scientists in many countries. Russian scientists are eager to get samples of the moon. Of course, so do other countries.
Lunar soil is a transition zone from solid lithosphere to solar system space, which contains a lot of information about the early formation of the universe and has high research value. Before China, only the United States and the Soviet Union had the ability to "dig the earth" on the moon. At the beginning of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the United States offered China a gram of lunar soil sample, only the size of soybeans, sealed in a glass box with magnifying effect. Since then, scientists in China have developed 14 related papers using lunar soil samples donated by the United States.

What benefits will the research on Moon Soil bring to the development of science and technology in China?
Moon soil, that is, the soil of the moon, is a readily available substance on the moon, but it is of great scientific value to people on earth.
First of all, we need to understand the fact that the formation of lunar soil is the result of the long-term impact of the moon on small celestial bodies and meteorites.
Therefore, the study of lunar soil will help people to deepen their understanding of the moon itself, lunar soil, lunar shell and the formation and evolution of the moon, and further understand the important information such as the state, temperature and material content of the moon, especially helium -3.
Helium -3 is recognized as an efficient, clean and safe fuel for nuclear fusion power generation.
According to calculation, 100 ton of helium -3 can provide the world with a whole year's consumption, but the helium -3 stored on the earth is very small, only about 500 kilograms at present.
However, the shallow storage capacity of the moon has reached one million tons, which can solve the problem of human energy shortage.
In addition, because the lunar soil separates the solid lithosphere of the moon from the space of the solar system, all substances in the universe, such as meteorite impact and cosmic radiation, will first come into contact with the lunar soil, so the bread here contains a lot of information about related areas.
If we study it, we can understand the historical evolution of the early sun, the composition and composition characteristics of the solar wind and the solar surface and other related data.
This is very important for the study of China's solar system and even the universe.
