Beneath Deep Space

Time passed by, and after four days of sailing, the spacecraft finally reached the final landing stage.

As early as the 1960s, landing was the most difficult and most trouble-prone stage. The technical means at that time were limited, and the takeoff and landing of the spacecraft were all set once, and manual intervention was not possible midway. During a week-long journey of 380,000 kilometers, when to go where and when to change speed must be accurate to the second. If something goes wrong, the machine will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.

Today, computer systems have developed rapidly, and aerospace technology is much more advanced than before. The "Victory" spacecraft mainly uses unmanned driving methods, and the supercomputer in the main control room has also written various equations, which can deal with a large number of emergencies.

After orbiting the moon for two times and decelerating twice, the spacecraft finally arrived above Bailey Crater in Antarctica.

This is the largest crater on the moon, with a diameter of about 303 kilometers. In mid-air, you can see with the naked eye a circular glass cover about 2 kilometers in diameter and about 1,000 meters high. It is densely covered with solar panels. There are a large number of mining machines and various machinery in the surrounding open space.

This is the moon base! A miracle, the ninth miracle of mankind!

"...The spacecraft is about to land on the moon. There may be some bumps during the process. Please fasten your seat belts and hold on to the armrests." A gentle electronic sound automatically sounded, reminding everyone to make final preparations for the moon landing.

Everyone in the warehouse cheered, and some even shed tears of excitement. Many people came to the moon for the first time, but seeing such a huge artificial building complex gave rise to a warm feeling in their hearts.

Humans are creatures that need a sense of security. Especially after the explosion of the earth, the warm sunshine, free air, and solid earth no longer exist. People have lost their backing and can only face the cold and silent universe alone. This has given people The pressure brought by people is very great.

The spacecraft is damaged, air leaks, mechanical failures, etc., as long as there is a small mistake, it will immediately lead to the death of everyone in the warehouse, without any chance.

In this case, a sense of insecurity arises deep within the person, which gradually accumulates. When a person's accumulated stress exceeds his or her ability to bear it, he is likely to explode completely. He may either commit crazy destruction, commit suicide, or become crazy or stupid.

For this situation, there are two best solutions. First, hope, let people believe that they can survive.

Second, as long as there are enough people, it can also bring a sense of security, which is determined by people's herd mentality. When a disaster strikes, more than 90% of people will run to crowded places. Even if crowded places are not necessarily safe, the public will still choose this way. This is the herd mentality of people.

The four-day space voyage brought enough mental pressure to the passengers, but this pressure was reduced a lot the moment people saw the lunar base. This is because people see hope.

There was only a loud "coaxing" sound, followed by a violent trembling, and the spacecraft finally landed on the moon!

The crowd suddenly became extremely noisy. Many people stood up from their seats and crowded to the door, anxious to be the first to get off the spacecraft. They are eager to see more people, more of their kind.

"Quiet! Quiet! Sit down where you are!" Yu Yifeng shouted, pushing a few people out, but a steady stream of people squeezed in.

When Yu Yifeng saw this, he made a gesture, and a tall man of 1.9 meters stood up. He had dark skin and muscles all over his body. He pushed everyone away with a wave of his hand, then stood and blocked the entire door.

"Why are you blocking the door?" A young man wearing glasses shouted excitedly. He pushed a few times and found that he couldn't push the big man at all.

"It's a vacuum outside. Are you anxious to go out and seek death?"

The young man suddenly became angry, "Then... where's the spacesuit? Where's the lunar rover? Didn't we agree that there's a lunar rover? How do you serve us!"

Most of the people sitting here are skilled workers who will soon participate in the construction of the lunar base. These people have been carefully selected and are generally of high quality.

But there are still a small number of wealthy people who spend money to come to the moon purely for tourism. This group of people is the least likely to accept the reality of the earth exploding. From the way this young man was dressed, it seemed that he was either rich or noble. But now, everything has become a thing of the past.

The burly man blocking the door was named Zhao Yao, and he was a member of the special forces. He hated the bossy rich second generation the most. He sneered and glared at the young man fiercely.

"Moon rover? Haha, don't even think about it. You have less than two hundred people and you have become such a mess. How can the moon base get better? Maybe there is a rebellion and massacre in the base..."

"You're talking nonsense! How is that possible?" the young man shouted, his face becoming gloomy. Logically speaking, there should indeed be a lunar rover to pick them up, but now that the lunar rover has not come, this reminds him of the bad side.

"There are some death row prisoners in this base, don't you know? Maybe those death row prisoners are having a doomsday carnival." Zhao Yao said quietly.

The young man was completely stunned after hearing this. He sat down after being stunned for a long time. His face was frighteningly pale. He didn't know whether it was because Zhao Yao's evil voice frightened him, or because words like rebellion and massacre reminded him of something. Good thing.

He didn't know what to say at all. With his status, he might know some inside information that ordinary people didn't know. If something really went wrong with the moon base... he thought about it, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Seeing the crowd getting more and more chaotic, Yu Yifeng said directly: "Everyone, due to the chaos inside the base, we have to perform some tasks, which will take about one to three days. In the meantime, for the sake of safety, you must Stay in the spaceship..."

After these words were finished, everyone made a loud noise, and everyone began to realize that the moon base was not necessarily safe...but it was the last hope! Where else to go but here?

Some people shouted to take them with them, and some women started crying. Although these soldiers are a bit domineering, most people still don't want them to leave, because their existence means safety and reliability.

"You just need to wait a few days. There is enough food and water in the cabin..." Yu Yifeng rambled for a long time, but found that it had no effect. In the end, he could only make a gesture with a hard heart, "Execute plan B! "

Vice-captain Xu Yunjin nodded, and then, a white mist spread quietly from the bottom of the ship, carrying a pungent smell. After a while, someone started coughing, and the noisy cabin slowly became silent, and many passengers staggered to the ground.

Taking this opportunity, all members put on their space suits, carried their weapons and equipment, and set foot on the moon.

Except for Yu Yifeng and Xu Yunjin, no one here has been to the moon, so they are still a little new to the lunar environment. Although it is daytime now, the sky is still black, and only the ground reflects a layer of dazzling white light. This is because there is no atmosphere.

Zhao Yao jumped excitedly, jumping seven or eight meters high, which was the height of two floors! As a result, I couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground. Fortunately, it didn't hurt at all.

"They'll be fine if they stay in there, right?" A young man with a shaved head next to him asked in the earphone.

"No problem, these hypnotic gases are effective for 24 hours, and they will not wake up during this period. Okay, we have to hurry up." Xu Yunjin smiled at himself again, "In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means. Normally, not only would there be administrative penalties for doing this, but the lawsuit alone would be enough for us.”

Everyone laughed as if they were having fun.

At this time, Yu Yifeng made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet. He said aloud: "The moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the earth's. This means that you can jump higher and further, but it does not mean that you can walk faster! Just like Zhao Yao, I fell down because I hadn’t gotten used to gravity yet.”

After hearing this, Zhao Yao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Except for me and Lao Xu, no one else here has been to the moon and cannot adapt to the gravity environment here immediately. So... I ask everyone to use firearms as much as possible when fighting and not to fight in close quarters! Otherwise, if you miss and fall, You might lose your life!”

Yu Yifeng said seriously, "I don't want to lose any of my comrades, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"Okay, let's go!"
