Will these be the building blocks of China’s base on the moon?

When two blocks are connected, they form a square 3cm (1.2 inches) high and 10cm deep. The building blocks were developed by the National Centre for Technology Innovation in Digital Construction at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
