"Robin, if the Falcon lifts off now and docks with the lunar spacecraft, how much fuel will the Falcon have?"

Robin looked down for a moment, then raised his head and said, "According to the current consumption, when the Falcon docks with the lunar spacecraft, there will be about eighty-five tons of fuel left in the Falcon fuel tank. ”

As soon as Tang Feng asked, **** and Du Yun naturally understood what Tang Feng wanted to do, and **** said: "Tang Feng, do you mean that you are going to use the Eagle Falcon to drive the lunar spacecraft back to Earth?" ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "That's right, this meteorite is too important to me, so I have to bring this meteorite back anyway." How's that, Robin, is the Falcon enough fuel left to fly back to Earth with the Lunar Spacecraft? ”

Robin hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course! Once the Falcon docks with the lunar spacecraft, then we will take off directly in space, and the fuel consumed by the Falcon is extremely limited. At that time, the Apollo spacecraft used the remaining four or five tons of fuel to return to Earth with the upgrade of the lunar module and the command compartment, and the remaining fuel in the fuel tank of the Eagle Falcon, let alone return to the earth, is no problem to return to the earth and land on the moon again. Don't forget, the amount of fuel that the Falcon carries is designed to land on Mars. ”

After a pause, Robin continued: "Even without the Falcon, the electricity generated by the solar wings carried by the lunar spacecraft itself would be enough to allow the ion thrusters to work intermittently, so if you want to return to Earth, even if you don't have a nuclear reactor, it's no problem." It's just that in this case, the small reactor on the lunar spacecraft is estimated to have to be scrapped, which is also millions of dollars."

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Millions of dollars is nothing to me." I'm very interested in this meteorite. Brother Han, contact George, tell him and Alexander about the situation here, let them get ready, and we will return to Earth immediately! At the same time, Houston was notified, and it was said that we had made a major discovery. To return to Earth, make all kinds of preparations on the ground. ”

Du Yun on the side hesitated for a moment and asked, "Tang Feng, are we going to stay on the moon for such a short time?" I'd like to stay a few more days. ”

Tang Feng said with a smile: "Sister Du, it's not easy to stay for a few more days?" When this meteorite is sent back to Earth, I will do another operation to land on the moon when I go back, and then I will come with a few of you. Our spacecraft and lunar module are ready-made, and the launch cost of launch vehicles is now extremely low, which is a little money for me. It's nothing. But this time, you'll have to listen to me, we have to send this meteorite back to Earth. ”

Han. was silently giving Tang Feng a thumbs up. As the first time he landed on the moon, he certainly did not want to stay on the moon for such a short time. But there is no way, who made Tang Feng a big financier, the entire moon landing operation, Tang Feng's order is the highest order. Even this strange meteorite, after being sent back to Earth. It will inevitably be in someone's pocket.

Come on, I don't want to think so much. It is enough to be able to successfully land on the moon once, and Tang Feng also said that going back to the moon landing operation and letting a few of them come is clearly a condition.

This condition is not agreed. What else do you want to do? Don't forget, there will be a mission to Mars in a few years, and that's the most important thing!

So, George and Alexander, who stayed on the lunar spacecraft, immediately received this order. The ground command center in Houston also received this order.

No one could refuse this order, because this order was given by Tang Feng himself. Long before the start of the moon landing operation, all people, including NASA staff, had signed relevant contracts with Star Exploration Company, which clearly stipulated that Tang Feng's order would be the supreme order without affecting the safety of the moon landing.

This provision is very critical, after all, Tang Feng is the funder of this moon landing operation, don't look at NASA's contribution and efforts, but don't forget, all of this is Tang Feng paid enough Franklin in exchange. The logistics and other related ancillary work of this lunar landing operation, including the use of the launch pad, the cost of re-entry capsule recovery, astronaut training costs, etc., Star Exploration paid NASA a full $200 million! Therefore, it is reasonable and legal for people to make such a request without affecting safety.

As for the security issues, are they still there? Without! Because the moon landing has been successful.

Although this meteorite may have a huge impact on the nuclear reactor on the lunar spacecraft, don't forget that the lunar spacecraft was designed by someone else, and even if there is no nuclear reactor, it can ensure the safe return of everyone to Earth, and there is no safety or insecurity at all.

Therefore, Tang Feng made this request, and NASA could not refuse at all. As for Dr. Schmitz, he is even more alive for Tang Feng, where can he not listen to Tang Feng's orders?

The most important thing is that now everyone on the ground knows that Tang Feng has picked up an extremely magical "extraterrestrial meteorite" on the moon, and almost all of them are full of interest in this "extraterrestrial meteorite" and can't wait to see this magical "extraterrestrial meteorite".

Just after the order was issued, Tang Feng said again: "Brother Han, since this lunar rover is useless, can we use the materials of the lunar rover to make something similar to a closed box, and put this meteorite in the box and take it away?" Because I found that if there were no obstacles, the effective range of this meteorite for radioactive elements was about 100 meters, but just now I was holding this meteorite and standing under the falcon, but the nuclear batteries that were only more than ten meters away from us were fine, I guess it was because the shell of the falcon had a blocking effect, so this meteorite could not have an effect on the nuclear battery inside the falcon. ”

As soon as Tang Feng said this, several people's eyes lit up. Yes, although the cost of a lunar rover is extremely expensive, it is probably really nothing to Tang Feng, a big financier. And the most important thing is that these two lunar rovers are basically half scrapped now, without nuclear batteries, relying only on solar wings, it is estimated that it is about the same as other countries' lunar rovers, and it will not take a few years.

And with Star Discovery, which has the technology of recyclable use of lunar spacecraft, falcon and launch vehicles, going to the moon seems to have really become as simple as going to the International Space Station.

Since the boss doesn't feel sorry for the lunar rover, then let's not think about those who work as well, and just do what the boss says.

So, after four or five hours, the two expensive lunar rovers were turned into a pile of parts, and the rover's shell was collected and made into a two-layer thick metal box, and the extraterrestrial meteorite lay in the box. As for the parts of those lunar rovers, you can assemble two more lunar rovers when you bring them back to Earth, after all, all Tang Feng needs is the outer metal plate of the lunar rover, and the core parts with the highest value inside can still be used.

In order to insure the period, Han. It took more than an hour to get in and out of the Falcon again, and another nuclear battery was brought out of it for experiments, and sure enough, this time there was no such situation.

In fact, it was Tang Feng who controlled the split of the star nucleus and did not absorb radioactive elements (to be continued. )
