Chapter 585: Yin Zi Qian

But the staff never thought of it. A group of gamblers had their eye on him. This group of Tutu who have blackened their conscience. I want to make an industry outside of employees. Become your own. These are the people of them. There was never humanity. Outside the staff. Never gamble. Although he was like nine. But he only tastes wine. But he rarely drinks alcohol. Because. More than 100 donkeys were raised. But every day. I do eat vegetarian dishes. The donkey skins were boiled into glue. Sell to those who hope for Mei Rong. and people who heal. The fish is sold to her daughter's hot pot restaurant. Last time the woman grew these things. Don't dress nicely either. I didn't expect it to be the female body of those black women. Also sold at a high price. Someone as close as an outsider. How did you go to gambling? But the gamblers did. Often. Lobbyists outside. Go and sit down. Because of course not. But these people. Desperately haunted by wishes. In this case, because. I was fooled by these people. Everybody knows. Just go and read the Dharma. Then the money is not their own.

The second largest crater on the front side of the Moon. It is very old, and centuries of volcanic eruptions and intercosmic material bombardment have left scars and craters on the mountain walls and cave floors. However, since the last era of the formation of the crater, the debris in the planetary belt is still crashing into the planets in the belt, and the place has enjoyed peace for 500 million years.

Now, there are new vibrations above and below its surface, as humanity has built their first permanent bridgehead on the moon here. The Collevius base is completely self-sufficient in case of emergency. The local rocks are crushed, heated, and chemically treated to produce all the necessities of life. Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus – all of this, and most other elements, can be found on the moon, if you know how to find them.

The base is a system of its own, much like a model of the Earth itself, where all the chemical changes of life repeat themselves. In a huge "greenhouse—a circular room buried on the surface of the moon—the air is purified. With lights at night and filtered sunlight during the day, acres of thriving greenery grow in a warm, moist environment. They are special variants, modified for the express purpose of supplementing the air with oxygen, while also providing food as a by-product.

More food is produced through chemical processing systems and algae blooms.

While the green scum circulating in long transparent plastic pipes is hard to satisfy a glutton's appetite, biochemists can turn it into pork chops and steaks that can only be mistaken for by experts.

The team of 1,100 men and 600 women on the base are carefully selected, highly trained scientists and technicians before leaving Earth. Although life on the moon has basically eliminated the hardships, inconveniences, and accidental dangers of the early days, there is still a lot of psychological pressure, and those with abnormal neurological claustrophobia still do not want to be happy. Because of the expense and time it takes to dig large underground bases in solid rock or compacted lava, the standard single "living area" here is only a room six feet wide, ten feet long, and eight feet high.

Each room is attractively decorated to resemble an ensuite in a luxury motel, with multi-purpose sofas, televisions, small hi-fi radios and video telephones. Not only that, but with a simple trick of interior decoration, an entire wall can be transformed into a realistic view of the earth at the touch of a switch. There are also eight different options for this view.

This type of luxury is a hallmark of the base, although it is sometimes difficult to convince the people of the earth to recognize this necessity. Every man or woman in Collevius spent a hundred thousand dollars on training, travel, and housing; It is worth spending a little more money to keep them mentally well-being. It's not art for art's sake, it's art for the sake of keeping one's mind sound.

One of the attractions of life at the base – and life on the moon as a whole – is undoubtedly the low gravitational pull, which leads to a general sense of well-being. However, this is also dangerous, and it takes weeks for immigrants from Earth to adapt.

On the Moon, the human body has to learn a whole new set of reactions. The human body needs to distinguish between mass and weight for the first time.

A man who weighs 180 pounds on Earth might be happy to find himself on the moon weighing only 30 pounds. As long as he maintains an even pace and moves in a straight line, he feels a magical sense of floating. But as soon as he wanted to turn, or stop suddenly—then he would find that his one hundred and eighty pound mass, or inertia, was still there. Because mass is fixed – on Earth, on the Moon, on the Sun, or in free space, it's all the same. Therefore, before properly adapting to life on the moon, one must understand that the inertia of all objects is five times higher than its weight appears, and this is often experienced after many collisions and serious bumps, and that the veterans of the moon always hide from the newcomers before they get used to them.

The Collevius site itself is a small world, with its own set of workshops, offices, warehouses, computing centers, power generation equipment, garages, kitchens, laboratories and food processing plants. Interestingly, much of the technology used to build this underground empire was developed during the Cold War, which lasted for half a century.

Those who have worked at fixed missile launch sites will feel comfortable when they come to Clevius. On the Moon there are the same technologies and equipment adapted to the protection of underground life and hostile environments; But here, these technologies and equipment have been used for peaceful purposes. After 10,000 years, humanity has finally found something as exciting as war. Unfortunately, not all countries have recognized this fact.

The mountain, which had stood out so much before landing, had mysteriously disappeared beyond the moon's horizon, which had a small arc. Around the spacecraft is a flat, gray plain, illuminated by oblique Earth light. The sky is dark, of course, but you have to cover your eyes with your hands to protect yourself from the glitter on the surface of the moon before you can see the brighter stars and planets.

Several very strange vehicles are heading towards the Aries-IB spaceship – cranes, loaders, fuel trucks and maintenance vehicles – either fully automated, others manned by drivers sitting in small pressurized cabs. Most vehicles travel on balloon-type tires, because there is no difficulty in transporting them on this smooth and flat plain; However, there is a fuel truck with special deformable wheels, which have been proven in practice
