日本清水建设株式会社，现在有六个大型项目的设想，排在最前面的就是卢纳环，一个月球太阳能电站计划，它要围绕月球的赤道建立一个6800英里的太阳能电池板环，然后把它收集到的能量通过微波和激光术传回地球。这个工程没有必要将所有的原料都运到月球上去，它可以就地取材，利用月球上现有的材料，通过机器人代替人力来完成。无论如何，一旦所有的能量都收集起来并传回地球，将能代替地球上很多发电站。但是，这种设想合理吗？它实现的可能性是多少呢？这些还需要讨论。
Japanese visionaries at construction firm Shimizu Corporation take that saying "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood" literally, with six of the boldest megaprojects ever imagined. Topping the list is Luna Ring, a lunar solar power plant. It's a 6,800 mile belt of solar panels built around the moon's equator, whose power is transmitted back to Earth using microwave and laser wizardry.
There's no need to transport all the raw materials to build this gigantic plant to the moon — it will be built by robots using moon rocks and dust. These guys have even figured out a way to create water with lunar soil and hydrogen mixed together. We think unicorns might be involved, too.
Anyway, once all that energy is gathered and transmitted back to Earth, it's converted back into electrical power at numerous terrestrial power stations. This might be a great idea if no one's invented a practical way to achieve fusion yet by the time all this technology is finally figured out.
This is just the beginning for these forward-thinking geniuses. Check out their five additional far-out ideas, and see if you can pick which one will actually happen. Either way, it pays to dream.
