The interior of our moon is a very complex structure. It is not a cold metal space. On the contrary, the entire interior space is a complete ecosystem, and the entire ecosystem simulates the environment of our mother planet!
Initially, we wanted to build an extra-large centrifuge to connect the two halves of our moon and use centrifugal technology to simulate the gravity environment of our planet.
This centrifugal system is relatively simple from a macroscopic perspective, but it is very difficult to construct from a microscopic perspective.
The first task is to build a pillar connecting the North and South Poles. The pillar was initially considered to be stacked with hard graphene, but this was rejected because of concerns that excess graphite dust would cause a short circuit in the internal intelligent system. If special Xiangyongfang materials were used, the installation machine would have to be restarted, which would consume a lot of energy and time would be wasted on smelting this material. Diamonds would be the most perfect choice, but there were not too many resources. Ordinary materials would be even worse because they were not hard enough. Finally, after considering many factors, this pillar was designed as a hollow solid pillar. The reason for this is that the outer layer of the pillar is made of Xiangyongfang material, the middle layer is made of diamond material, and the innermost layer is made of graphene material. This design is not based on certain scientific theories. The most fundamental reason is that we were forced by the resources at the time. The shortage of resources meant that we could only use the inventory resources at the time to achieve our desired goals. Fortunately, this design will not affect the strength of the pillar!
The second task is to build a rotating ring. This rotating ring is divided into three layers: the inner circle, the middle circle and the outer circle. The material used to build the ring must be resistant to high temperature and radiation, and must have a certain strength. The material is relatively simple. We used the most mature and special carbon fiber material, and then plated it with super-strong porcelain on the surface. We originally planned to build it from beginning to end. Considering the ease of installation, we finally adopted section-by-section construction, and then used the mortise and tenon structure to complete the installation of the building blocks. This process is relatively simple. It only took 50 years from collecting materials to completing the production. The planning was completed simultaneously with the central column, and then the sensors were installed. The chip system unique to each layer of the ring was designed. It took about 20 years, and the three layers of rotating rings were finally installed, and then it was put into trial operation for 50 years!
After the system was built, the trial run was perfect. No problems occurred in 50 years, not even problems with small nodes.
There are design requirements for building these three layers of rotating rings, and each of these three layers of rotating rings has its unique function. The rotation of the outer circle is used to maintain the overall balance. Since the other two layers of rings will generate a strong drag force when rotating, long-term operation will cause the lunar flight posture to become unbalanced, which may cause it to turn upside down, left and right. With this layer of ring, these special situations can be avoided. We can fine-tune the side effects of the rotation of the middle and inner circles by adjusting the rotation speed and direction of the outer circle, mainly to indirectly offset these offset forces; the middle circle is the main source of gravity, and its rotation is uniform. It drives the rotation of the entire interior through uniform rotation, thereby generating simulated gravity; the innermost circle is equivalent to the brakes and clutch of your human car. Since the gravity given by the middle circle is fixed, the inner circle must offset the excess gravity given by the middle circle according to its own rotation speed and direction, so that it can be used to control the gravity of the entire moon. The inner circle will have greater gravity when it rotates with the middle circle, and the gravity will gradually disappear when the inner circle rotates in the opposite direction of the middle circle. By adjusting the speed of the two layers rotating in opposite directions, the stability of the internal gravity can be ensured!

Everything had been running as planned for 50 years, until a small accident almost indirectly damaged the entire system. During a routine maintenance, the technical race discovered that a small node sensor in the outer circle had a small problem and needed to be replaced. No one would have thought that the replacement of this small sensor would cause a small deviation in the information fed back to the system, which then led to the adjustment of the outer circle's running speed. Although it was a small adjustment, no one expected that a series of subsequent problems would arise. The outer circle did not provide a reasonable running speed, the inner circle was running normally, and then the force that should have been absorbed by the outer circle was not absorbed. The force was transferred back to the inner circle, which obtained the excess force. Under the calculation of the intelligent system, it began to accelerate to offset the excess force, but the subsequent energy did not keep up, causing a brief short circuit in the command, and then it took five seconds to start operating normally again. This brief five-second short circuit indirectly led to a momentary imbalance of gravity inside, which in turn led to nuclear fission. Finally, there was a brief energy fault, and it took another five seconds to recover. In the end, these short five seconds caused the entire gravity system to freeze. In the end, it took the technical race one month on Earth to complete the correction and get it running again!
Based on this accident, the future design race raised another question: if the construction continues according to the original idea, after the construction is completed, how long will this large centrifuge run before it needs maintenance? How long will the maintenance take? During the maintenance period, will the stopping or semi-stagnant state of the rotating ring affect the flight attitude of the moon? If it is damaged, can it be repaired in a short time or have a replacement solution? Can the ring be stored inside the spacecraft? These problems could not be solved at the time!
Fortunately, we found it in time. We did not wait and immediately redesigned the completed system. We quickly designed a new plan. We decided to reduce the size of this large centrifuge and divide the entire lunar interior into 25 small cabins according to their locations. Then, a centrifuge with the same principle was installed in each cabin. In this way, the gravity in each cabin is the same. If a cabin is damaged, it will not affect the overall situation. And because the centrifuge is smaller, it is easier to repair. If it is completely damaged, parts can be replaced faster. A single damage will not affect the flight attitude of the moon. All problems are solved!
Although it is time-consuming, this solution is safer and the only time spent is to disassemble and reassemble the blocks!
After this design is completed, if you want to travel to another cabin, you only need to take a special spaceship!
