Chapter 298: Into the Moon

August 27th.

Luo Fenghuo led Huo Quzhi and Huo Guang to set off from Xinwenchang Satellite City and fly quickly to the lunar orbit.

Since the speed of the battleship has been increased to 30 kilometers per second, this speed exceeds the third cosmic speed, and even the gravitational pull of the sun cannot bind the space battleship.

Reaching this speed also means that the spaceship can choose to fly in a straight line into the moon's orbit, because the gravitational pull of the blue star and the moon cannot capture the spacecraft at all.

At this time, the distance between the moon and the new Wenchang satellite city is 378,000 kilometers.

For Huo Quzhi, this distance is actually divided into three parts, accelerating and flying 5 kilometers, flying 200,000 kilometers at full speed, and decelerating 128,000 kilometers.

If you don't slow down your flight, the consequences will either hit the moon straight or fly out of the lunar orbit, and the moon's gravitational pull is not strong enough to capture a space battleship moving at full speed.

8 hours and 14 minutes later.

Huo Quzhi and Huo Guang slowly orbited the moon for 3,000 kilometers.

Looking through the lookout window, the moon 3,000 kilometers away looks like a pale yellow millstone.

In various orbits of the moon, there are also many spacecraft wreckage, as well as radioactive fallout left over from previous nuclear explosions.

The desperate lunar lizardmen even detonated more than 200 cobalt bombs in the final stage, and now within 1,000 kilometers of the moon's orbit and on the lunar surface, there is a layer of radioactive cobalt-60, which releases a large amount of deadly gamma rays.

Monitor Xiao Bing looked at the rows of data, shook his head helplessly and said:

"Captain, the situation is not good, the concentration of radiation on the moon has reached more than eighty times the lethal dose, and the nuclear reaction shielding system and nanobots must be activated to remove these residual cobalt 60."

Luo Feng instructed: "Activate the nuclear reaction shielding system, prepare to land on the moon, and target the Copernicus crater." ”

"Roger." Deputy Captain Wang Gangsheng operated the battleship to fly towards the front of the moon.

The Huo Guang stayed on track to be on guard, and was ready to respond to Huo Qu's illness at any time.

After deploying the nuclear reaction shielding system, the nuclear reaction and radioactive elements within 1,200 kilometers of the surrounding area are like birds choking by the throat.

The Ho Qu sliced into the moon at an oblique angle and flew towards the front of the moon, near the Copernican crater.

Unlike the landing of ordinary launch vehicles, Huo Quzhi landed on a small plain with a side stop.

Due to the strong power of the nuclear fusion engine, even if it is lying on its side on the surface of the moon, Huo Qubing can still push the spacecraft up a few hundred meters through the auxiliary engine, and then start the main engine to ascend.

As soon as the landing was successful, Luo Feng immediately ordered: "Immediately activate the charging magnetic field and nanorobots to clean up the surrounding cobalt-60 residues." ”

"Okay." Another co-captain, manipulating the nanobots that came with the battleship itself, spread in all directions.

The nanobot uses data from neutrino atom imaging scanners to capture the cobalt-60 elements that spread in the air and cover the lunar soil and lunar rocks.

Gather these cobalt-60 elements together, choose a random area, dig a pit with nanorobots, bury these cobalt-60, and wait until the five-year half-life has passed, cobalt-60 will decay into non-radioactive cobalt-59.

The sedimentary cobalt-60 on the ground is relatively easy to deal with, but the real trouble is the cobalt-60 floating in mid-air, which is constantly floating and moving.

Because the gravitational pull of the moon is very small and there is no atmospheric movement, these cobalt-60 dust will settle dozens of times slower than the blue star.

The moon's low gravity and near-vacuum environment allow warships to control nanobots with a radius of about 6 kilometers.

Taking advantage of the nanobot stripping cobalt 60, Luo Feng, a maintenance engineer and a gunner wore spacesuits and walked out of the battleship's airtight cabin.

Desolation and loneliness, this is Luo Feng's first impression of the surface of the moon.

Maintenance engineer Tian Haoming opened the auxiliary equipment compartment on one side and launched a special lunar rover, while gunner Zhou Yuan pulled out a nano protector and hooked it to the lunar rover.

They drove the lunar rover to the Copernicus crater, and the area where the Ho Qu sick landed was about 26 kilometers southeast of the Copernicus crater.

Everyone is busy, and Luo Feng is manipulating nanorobots to transform the surrounding environment, such as leveling the ground and digging underground space.

The first base was busy for about a week before renovating a temporary space airfield with a radius of 3 kilometers and opening an underground passage to the Copernicus crater.

Luo Feng and gunner Zhou Yuan also explored the base of the Copernicus crater, but the ferocity of the gamma ray flow did not bring them much gain.

Even the Nibelon spaceship that the Illuminati once obtained on the far side of the moon is estimated to have been packed and taken away by the Illuminati.

However, there were a lot of traps left, if it weren't for the nanobots clearing the field, Luo Feng wouldn't dare to explore the base of the Illuminati casually.

The gamma rays of the Phoenix satellite are directly targeted at the lizardmen, resulting in a lot of uninhabited areas that are not attacked, and there are many traps hidden in these areas, even hydrogen bombs.

For example, when Luo Feng and his colleagues explored the No. 12 base attached to the Copernicus crater, as soon as they stepped into the base, the automatic program inside tried to directly detonate the hydrogen bomb.

If it weren't for the fact that Huo Qu's nuclear reaction shield had been activated, Luo Feng and the others would probably have to receive the lunch box directly.

The Illuminati would not be kind enough to leave the moon intact to the new humans, detonate the cobalt bomb to create a nuclear-contaminated area, and lay out a large number of hidden traps in order to weaken the development of the new humans as much as possible.

……

Heavily armed Luo Feng and Zhou Yuan drove the lunar rover and dragged a nano protector towards the northwest of the Copernicus crater.

This was the last Nano Guardian carried by their spacecraft, and the other nineteen had already been deployed around the Copernicus crater.

Despite driving, the nanobots of the Nano Protectors are still running, mainly just in case, the lizardmen have left too many traps on the moon.

Hydrogen bombs and the like can be shielded, but ordinary chemical bombs can't be shielded.

[1.3 km ahead, there is a rockburst trap.] ]

Luo Feng manipulated the nanobot to destroy the bomb.

The so-called rock trap is to plant a bomb in a pile of rocks, and someone who gets close to 50 meters will detonate the bomb and splash these stone fragments in all directions.

This trap is very destructive for a civilization that has just entered the cosmic age, because the lunar environment will bless the destructive power of stone fragments.

[The captain arrives.] ]

[Then set up a nano defender.] ]

[Okay.] ]

Manipulating the nanobots, digging a pit at the bottom of the nano defenders and burying it about 10 meters underground.

Luo Feng looked at the surrounding 6-kilometer radius and found that about 4 kilometers to the east, there was an abandoned underground mine, which should be a rhenium mine from the elemental composition analysis data.

Unfortunately, the rich ore has been mined by the Illuminati, leaving only a large pile of poor ore and some abandoned machines there.

Hey? Suddenly, Luo Feng pulled up the map and called up the geological exploration data of the Diting satellite.

I see! This rhenium mine is also 400~500 meters underground, and it is estimated that the rhenium element reserves can reach about 13,000 tons.

For rare elements, 13,000 tons of reserves is already a very large reserve, and the rhenium minerals of Blue Star in the Common Era are pitiful.

After entering the new era, with the application of Diting detectors and nanorobots, mineral exploration and mining have undergone qualitative development.

Casually registered the rhenium mine in the natural resources database, and the two drove back in the lunar rover.
