The mission Wu Weiren talked about would be short, but China also plans to build a lunar base called the International Lunar Research Station.. According to plans, its construction may be completed in the 2030s..

The first steps of this ambitious project include robotic missions to the lunar south pole to test the use of 3D printing technology to create Lego-like bricks from lunar soil..
