China to make water by squeezing the moon', claims that water can be produced from large quantities of lunar soil

 

BEIJING: Disputes over water often lead to conflict. In every extraterrestrial exploration, the first thing to look for is the presence of water. It was also discovered that there is water on the moon. But Chinese scientists have discovered that large quantities of water can be produced from soil collected from the moon. Citing Chinese official media, Reuters reports that a method has been found to produce large quantities of water from lunar soil collected during the 2020 mission.

In 2020, China's Change 5 mission was the first time humans had collected samples from the Moon in 44 years. A study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences under the supervision of the Chinese government found large amounts of hydrogen in lunar soil. Chinese official media reports that water was formed in large quantities when it was mixed with some other elements and heated.

China claims to have discovered this method after three years of research. Chinese state media claim that producing large amounts of water from lunar soil will be crucial for future lunar missions. The move is crucial in the US-China race to build a permanent lunar outpost using lunar resources.
