Chapter 274 The Overseas Astronauts Escaping from the Moon
After several days of flight, the Shenzhou spacecraft finally reached the sky above the predetermined area of ​​the moon. Under the command of the ground station control center, the Yutu lunar module successfully separated from the spacecraft and began to land on the surface of the moon.

It is worth mentioning that there are only three astronauts who actually landed on the surface of the moon this time.

The remaining one will stay in the spacecraft control room.

"This is the Yutu lunar module, which has successfully separated from Shenzhou and is landing in the scheduled area."

"Allowed to land."

……

"800 meters from the surface of the moon!"

"500 meters."

"300 meters.

……

"Ten meters."

"Successful landing."

When the continuous broadcast sounded in the control center of the ground station and the live broadcast room, there was a burst of warm cheers from the control center.

All engineering staff stood up and applauded congratulations.

From the time the astronauts took the space elevator to the successful landing of the lunar module on the surface of the moon, everyone has put in all their energy. Although the dust has not yet settled, it can already be called a great success.

It is normal for everyone to be more excited and react more.

At this time, Xu Lei did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order to the Yutu lunar module: "Check the working status of all equipment and prepare to leave the module."

"Jade Rabbit understands."

The lunar module successfully landed on the surface of the moon, which can be regarded as an excellent completion of its mission.

Next, the astronauts will have to rely on their own spacesuits and life capsules if they want to get out of the cabin and actually act on the moon. At this time, they must be fully prepared.

Otherwise, if there is an emergency on the moon, it will be too late for rescue.

At the same time, this period of time is also reserved for the astronauts to carry out psychological construction. After all, they need to stay on the moon for at least a few days after leaving the cabin. Big test.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help holding their breath at this moment, expecting the astronauts to take this step.

"Let's cheer up. People all over the country are paying attention to us. We will definitely be able to complete this task. Everyone must believe in the country's technological level."

at the same time.

Inside the Yutu lunar module.

Just listen to the veteran astronauts who have already put on their space suits cheering and encouraging the two newcomers through the communication equipment in their helmets, their eyes are full of firmness and excitement.

Hearing the sound, Ye Junmin nodded slightly first, and then manually opened the hatch of the lunar module.

Because at this moment, all the audience's perspectives are on Ye Junmin, and as the hatch opens to reveal the outside scenery, this almost immersive feeling suddenly makes people feel extremely shocked, and there is no way to describe it in words.

Especially when Ye Junmin stepped out of the cabin with his left foot and stepped on the lunar soil, the powerful visual impact instantly drove the audience in the live broadcast room into a frenzy.

The barrage refresh rate has reached an unprecedented level.

"Is this the view you can see standing on the moon? It's really shocking!"

"Mom, I'm on the moon."

"It feels so desolate. Sure enough, all the myths and legends are false."

"Excuse me, are there laurel trees on the moon?"

"The dream of 5000 years has finally become a reality, and today is a day that can be recorded in history."

"Is it necessary to build a temporary base on the moon in the future? It's simply too strong!"

……

After Ye Junmin felt the state of his left foot, he was stunned for two seconds, and then he carefully controlled his body and walked out of the lunar module.

Due to the less attractive force on the moon, Ye Junmin's movement became very easy, even when he was wearing a heavy space suit.

Soon.

The remaining two astronauts also successfully emerged from the cabin.

However, they didn't come here to appreciate the lunar environment. They had to use every minute and every second effectively when they were shouldering important tasks, so they didn't care about admiring the scenery, so they quickly dismantled the life capsule on the lunar module.

The so-called life capsule is an important equipment for astronauts to survive temporarily.

There is not only oxygen in it, but also carbon dioxide can be used to synthesize starch to meet food needs, and the required substances can be supplemented and recycled. Before the real moon base is built, it is suitable for astronauts to live temporarily on the moon.

The three astronauts disassembled the life capsule very skillfully, and then fixed a lunar rover they carried.

It wasn't until the materials and equipment were loaded into the car that the three of them took the life capsule to the predetermined base location.

"You two follow me closely, we must reach the temporary base and set up the life capsule before the oxygen in the space suit runs out."

After confirming the location of the temporary base, the veteran astronaut among the three gave special instructions to Ye Junmin and immediately started to act.

In this regard, Ye Junmin and the two naturally followed closely.

At this time, the Shenzhou spacecraft flying around the moon also began to change its trajectory, preparing to return to low-Earth orbit to re-dock with the Tiangong space station. After completing the fuel injection, it went to the moon again.

To put it simply, Ye Junmin and the others have to survive on the moon for at least a few days.

Waiting for Shenzhou to deliver supplies and new personnel.

As for the Yutu lunar module, it will temporarily stay on the surface of the moon, because in the event of a sudden crisis, the lunar module may be able to save lives.

Anyway, when it was being manufactured, several Yutu lunar modules were built.

Of course, the safety of Ye Junmin and the others on the moon can still be effectively guaranteed. After all, the life capsule technology is included in the space elevator technology, and since it is collected by the museum, there will never be any problems.

The audience in the live broadcast room were shocked when they saw the astronaut's posture of survival in the wilderness. It was hard to imagine that in their generation they could see humans living on the moon.

If you put it in the past, it would definitely not even dare to think about it.

As a result, many people's thinking has become active, thinking that relying on life capsules, ordinary people seem to be able to experience it on the moon.

As a result, inquiries about space elevator tickets also increased significantly.

"Survival in the wilderness on the moon is definitely the ceiling of this type of program."

"I thought I was strong enough to successfully land on the moon, but I didn't expect to survive on the moon."

"When can ordinary people experience it, you can set a ticket price for the space elevator, and you must buy it when the time comes."

"I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"A ticket to enter the space station or even the moon will cost a huge sum of thousands of dollars. It's really a price I can't afford."

"Brother might as well be bolder."

"I don't know why, I suddenly feel worried about the astronauts when I see this place."

The ground station control center will definitely not pay too much attention to the barrage of audience in the live broadcast room. After all, whether the astronauts can activate the life capsule within a limited time is very important, and they still need to invest [-]% Two energy concerns.

Handle and solve problems encountered by astronauts in a timely manner.

The main reason is that the Shenzhou spacecraft has begun to return to the Tiangong space station, and the Yutu lunar module cannot return. Now the only thing the astronauts can rely on is the ground control center.

"Academician Xu, look, this is the location of the Guanghan Palace lunar base we selected. After detection, this area is rich in resources." Wu Chuping, the control center, pointed to the [-]D model of the lunar surface that was just called out in front of him, and carefully introduced the base. Event: "The astronauts will also arrive here to temporarily station later, and then use the space elevator and the Shenzhou spacecraft to transport materials and personnel. I believe that this base will have the ability to survive soon."

The location of the three-dimensional lunar surface model mentioned by Wu Chuping is a crater that is not particularly deep. The efficiency of building a permanent base with the help of geographical advantages will undoubtedly be much higher.

So Xu Lei has no objection to this point.

The Guanghangong Moon Base is naturally a project named by the space agency long ago, which can be regarded as a reflection of the special emotions of the Chinese people towards the moon.

"It is indeed a very suitable place." Xu Lei nodded and replied, affirming Wu Chuping's explanation.

Since the location of the crater is not too far from the landing site of the Yutu lunar module, Ye Junmin and the others successfully reached their destination within a short time due to the less attractive force of the moon.

And set out to place the life capsule for the first time and try to start it.

Xu Lei is not worried about the safety of the three of them. You must know that he provided the design drawings of the life capsule, and he is very clear about its function.

It can definitely guarantee that astronauts can survive on the moon in a short period of time.

-

At the same time, a few kilometers away from the Yutu lunar module, the situation of overseas astronauts is not very optimistic.

"The astronauts are in good physical condition, and the temporary base equipment is operating normally."

Dali Rover Island.

La Horn Space Force Base.

Hayden in the command center listened to the report from the moon, his originally tense expression finally relaxed a lot, and he felt relieved.

In order to take the lead in occupying the resource-rich area of ​​the moon, they launched a rocket ahead of time to transport astronauts to the moon. Although Hayden knew that this must be done, he was also under tremendous pressure, fearing that something might go wrong during the process and everything would be lost.

Fortunately, their luck is not bad.

After a few days of flight, the Orion spacecraft successfully reached the moon ahead of the Shenzhou spacecraft.

The most important thing is that their temporary base equipment was successfully activated, which means that astronauts no longer need to rely entirely on spacesuits and can stay on the moon for a longer period of time.

In this way, if they discuss the space elevator cooperation with Future Technology, the bargaining chips they hold will be more influential.

At least you can get good benefits for yourself.

Thinking quickly, Hayden didn't dare to hesitate. After he calmed down a little, he quickly turned around and gave a detailed report to Tripp who was sitting next to him.

That's right.

After the rocket was successfully launched into space, Tripp also rushed here from Washington State to personally pay attention to this mission operation.

This alone is enough to see how much he attaches importance to this matter.

"Report to the general, the moon landing went very smoothly, and our astronauts have successfully stationed on the surface of the moon." Hayden walked up to Tripp and stood still, reporting the good news with great momentum.

"Very good." Tripp nodded in satisfaction, and the smile on his face suddenly increased: "It seems that it is time to talk to Yan Fang."

But as the saying goes, there are unpredictable things, and no one knows what will happen before things are achieved.

Just when Hayden and Tripp had already begun to consider the follow-up action plan, a red warning suddenly flashed on the screen in the command hall.

At the same time, the astronaut's anxious voice sounded from the communication equipment.

"This is the Orion, the temporary base has malfunctioned, and the oxygen supply system has failed."

"repeat……"

"Oxygen supply system failed!"

Almost at the moment when the anxious voice sounded, Hayden hurriedly walked to the podium regardless of Tripp's order, and immediately asked the engineering staff next to him: "What happened, don't rush to solve the problem."

"Report sir."

"The temporary base encountered a sudden failure, the oxygen supply system failed and could not be restored, and the oxygen content in the base was rapidly declining."

The engineers, who knew the seriousness of the matter, naturally did not dare to hide anything in the face of Hayden's questioning, and even explained clearly the cause of the matter.

The temporary base is the basis for astronauts to survive on the moon, and the oxygen supply system is the core function. If the system fails at this time, there is only one fate for the astronauts.

Die on the moon.

It can only be said that the temporary base they developed is not at the same level as the life capsules of the space agency.

As soon as he reported the good news to the general, such an unexpected incident happened around the corner. Hayden immediately wanted to kill someone, and he didn't give him any face at all.

But now that things have happened, this is not the time to find the cause of the accident. The most important thing is how to solve the problem in time to ensure the smooth progress of the lunar base construction mission.

The moment the idea came to mind, Hayden couldn't care about anything else, and immediately gave instructions to the engineering staff again.

"No matter what method is used, the problem must be solved quickly, and the temporary base must resume normal operation." The expression became as serious as possible.

However, the results obtained are not satisfactory.

"We have guided the astronauts to try to repair, but nothing has changed. If a decision is not made as soon as possible, the lives of the astronauts will be threatened." Deng makes a choice.

Although I don't know why the oxygen supply system of the temporary base equipment suddenly had an accident, but if it is really impossible to recover, it will definitely not be able to continue to guarantee the survival of the astronauts.

In this case, the best way is to order the astronauts to return to the lunar module with the help of spacesuits.

Then lift off to dock with the spacecraft and return.

But in this way, not only did their mission fail completely, but they would even become a laughing stock in others' mouths, which would better bring out the power of the space elevator.

And just when Hayden was in a tangle and hesitated for a while, he saw that Tripp had walked over at some point, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"An accident occurred in the oxygen supply system of the temporary base, and the survival of astronauts on the moon can no longer be guaranteed."

After listening to Hayden's report, Tripp's face also turned cold suddenly, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he came here on purpose.

However, this mission to the moon was decided by him, and now it has progressed to this point, and it has successfully led Yanfang. It would be a pity to give up like this, and the key chips that are about to be obtained will also disappear. .

The oxygen supply system fails, and the oxygen available to astronauts is decreasing every second. It can be said that the final decision is related to their life and death.

At the very moment, Tripp seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly looked at Ma Sien who was sitting in a remote position, and immediately asked aloud: "Do you have a solution?"

The equipment of the temporary base was developed by the Space Exploration Technology Company. If anyone present is sure to solve the problem, Ma Sien is definitely the first consideration.

In fact, after learning that the space agency was going to cooperate with the space elevator of future technology, Ma Sien knew that he would be kicked out soon, so although he participated in this launch mission, his heart was no longer on it, and he did not care about it. I have no intention of intervening.

But he never expected that the oxygen supply system of the temporary base would suddenly fail.

However, in the environment of the moon, it is basically impossible to try to repair it only by relying on the limited equipment on the astronauts.

So in the face of Tripp's inquiry, he didn't hide anything, and directly told the truth.

"Under normal circumstances, the oxygen supply system will never fail, but since an accident occurs, the cause can only be determined by taking it back to the planet, and the astronauts alone cannot recover."

Knowing this result from Masen, Tripp had to admit that he had failed, although he was very reluctant to accept it.

And it failed completely.

If it had been known that this launch mission would have such a result, it would be better to directly discuss the space elevator cooperation with Future Technology.

Now that there is such a thing, not only did they not get the bargaining chip for the negotiation, but they are afraid that their own stance in front of future technology will be even lower, after all, the two sides have never been able to deal with each other.

"General, we must make a decision as soon as possible." Seeing that Tripp hadn't made a decision, Hayden, who was impatient, had no choice but to remind him.

Things have been delayed until now, and the one who suffers is himself. After hearing this and thinking of this, Tripp could only nod to Hayden in response: "Follow the emergency plan."

Finally receiving this order, Hayden hastily announced the end of the mission ahead of schedule.

The astronauts immediately returned to the lunar module.

that's it.

Several astronauts resolutely abandoned the temporary base and returned to the lunar module as quickly as possible with the help of oxygen in the spacesuit.

And as the lunar module re-ignites, it will dock with the Orion spacecraft.

Besides, at the Guanghan Palace Base, Ye Junmin and the others had just arrived at the crater, and were about to install the life capsule, but they noticed the overseas lunar module that was taking off, and a question mark appeared in their hearts.

I wondered why I left the moon not long after I arrived.

After all, under normal circumstances, the lunar module would never be controlled to automatically ignite and leave, leaving the astronauts alone on the moon.

Since the lunar module was ignited and lifted off, it only means that the astronauts also left.

Because the viewers in the live broadcast room were still looking at Ye Junmin's perspective, they naturally also discovered the lunar module that was lifted into the sky, so a heated discussion immediately started.

"Fuck, what did I see."

"Oh my god there are aliens."

"Can you have some common sense? It seems to be Beimei's lunar module."

"Didn't they threaten to build a moon base first? Why did they leave as soon as they arrived on the moon?"

"very strange!"

"I see. They must have come to the moon for sightseeing."

"Let's go to the Internet to find out the situation."

The scene of the overseas lunar module escaping from the moon happened to be broadcast live, which caused many overseas netizens to go to the account of the space agency to inquire about the situation after seeing the live broadcast.

In the end, under pressure, the space agency had to announce the applause in the oxygen system of the temporary base.

And when the news spread back to China, it directly aroused the ridicule of a large number of netizens.

It can be said that this time they have lost their lives severely.

"Didn't the overseas side always boast that their aerospace technology is very strong, why did it fade away at the critical moment?"

"If you want to talk about the moon base, you still have to look at our Guanghangong base. Those overseas forces should develop basic technology honestly. You can't play aerospace."

"It's really killing me laughing."

"From this point of view, it proves that our life capsule is really awesome, and it can allow astronauts to live on the moon in a short period of time."

Compared with the emotional fluctuations of netizens, Xu Lei is obviously much calmer. After all, the status of the overseas Orion spacecraft and the lunar module are under the monitoring of Xingtong, and they can guess how much they leave suddenly.

Facts have proved that Xu Lei's intuition is still very keen.

He didn't believe that overseas technology on temporary bases could compare to life capsules.

Now it seems that the two are indeed not comparable.

Otherwise, the opponent will not overturn on the spot.

"Academician Xu, now I finally know why you did not agree to run the space elevator in advance." At the moment in the control center of the ground station, Wu Chuping, who saw the announcement issued by the Overseas Space Administration, did not hide the smile on his face when he spoke.

The things I was worried about were finally completely relieved.

Right now, there are only three astronauts on the moon. With the help of the space elevator, the Guanghangong Moon Base will inevitably become the first moon base.

Wen Sheng quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect them to overturn so quickly. It seems that they are still lacking in related technologies."

The entire mission to the moon has basically come to a successful conclusion here. Next, the space elevator will continue to transport astronauts and supplies to the moon, and make every effort to build the Guanghan Palace lunar base.

Of course, this takes a lot of time.

It is definitely impossible for Xu Lei to stay on Dengtian Island. After handing over the things in his hands, he will return to Binjiang City.

As for the live broadcast, it will definitely not be a 24-hour live broadcast like the construction of the ground station. After Ye Junmin and the others arrived at the crater and arranged the life capsules, the live broadcast officially came to this technology.

In the follow-up, the base construction situation will be shared in the form of pictures and videos.

Although the audience was very reluctant about this and felt unfinished, they didn't ask for anything.

But it can be expected that for a long time to come, there will be more and more discussions on the topic of space elevators and Guanghan Palace Moon Base on the entire network, which can continue to bring some influence to Xu Lei.

After this live broadcast of the moon landing, Xu Lei's current influence has grown to more than 490 million points, which is only tens of thousands of influence points away from successfully unlocking the new exhibits, so there is no need for him to do anything, just wait for a few more. The day will meet the requirements.
