Chapter 361: For Love and Peace

Joseph and Emily felt that today was definitely their luckiest and most unfortunate day.

Being chosen as an astronaut to the moon, and landing on the moon today, is definitely a day to remember in one's lifetime.

But it was also today's moon landing, and an accident happened, and the lunar module on which he was riding had an accident and lay directly at the landing site.

Fortunately, the lunar module was not damaged much, and it was directly smashed on the ground, causing some cubes to crack and leak, and they were wearing spacesuits, helmets, and seat belts, but the problem was not big.

Although they survived, it was temporary, they had to quickly repair the manned cabin, the crack and air leakage of the cabin was too urgent, if it was not solved, they might really die in a while.

After a lot of work, they managed to stick the big crack, but the cabin was divided into several layers, and they didn't know how long the gel they filled in could manage, so they put several layers of tape to ensure that the leakage slowed down.

No way, there is no professional maintenance workshop here, and they are not professional maintenance engineers, so it would be good to be able to glue the lunar module according to the previous training content.

After temporarily saving their lives, they began to contact the ground and the orbiter, but there was no response.

They used the computer to conduct a self-test of the lunar module, and found that the antenna had no signal, guessing that the antenna was broken, so they wanted to go out to repair it.

Anyway, they have to be connected to the ground or the orbiter, or they will definitely die here.

The posture of the fall of the lunar module is the worst of the bad, the tank-shaped manned cabin is directly erected, making their activity space very narrow, but if you want to open the hatch, both of them must wear heavy extravehicular spacesuits, after all, their manned cabin is not as "luxurious" as the Luna Moon, with two separate pressurized cabins.

I finally put on the extravehicular spacesuit, but it turned out that the hatch was stuck.

It must have been deformed when the tank was falling, causing the hatch to jam.

The serious hatch is unreliable, so they can only turn to the docking port in space.

Originally, they shouldn't have entered and exited from that mouth, but now that the situation is like this, they can't care so much.

As a result, this side is also stuck.

Fortunately, they tried on both sides and found that the space interface was not stuck, so they tried all kinds of ways to pry the interface open and crawl out of it.

Turning to the waist of the lunar module, after checking it, it was found that the antenna was broken, and the automatic star finder equipment was broken, and he had to come manually.

There is the position of the satellite on the secondary computer, and then manually adjust the antenna position, and it can barely talk.

This series of lucky and unlucky, unlucky and unlucky, unlucky and unlucky, and unlucky and lucky, back and forth I bounce you, you bounce me, and they are exhausted.

If he had died before, he would have been a hundred, but since he had survived, he would definitely want to live a little longer.

So one of them manually controlled the antenna to communicate with headquarters, and the other began to collect available supplies and equipment.

They have to live as long as possible, and only after a long time can they wait for rescue.

It's like The Martian.

But the protagonist of the family still has a base, can grow potatoes, can sleep comfortably, and can take a bath, they only have a broken manned cabin, or the kind that overturns.

Well?

Speaking of bases, they are more than three hundred kilometers away...... It seems that there is a base!

Tianxia's moon base!

More than 300 kilometers, what is the speed of the opponent's lunar rover?

More than thirty kilometers.

More than 300 divided by more than 30, almost ten hours, they still have 20 hours of oxygen, even if the other party can't drive at full speed, even if the road twists and turns, it should be enough!

Joseph excitedly flashed several sets of data in his mind, and then quickly told the command center about it.

Of course, the astronaut is the person who learns the most about space, and he is still a person who has the opportunity to practice, so he naturally knows that Merrican has not signed various agreements, and he has withdrawn after signing them, but when is it now, it is the time to kill and save his life, even if there is a little possibility, he will not give up.

And the reply from the command center surprised them even more.

"Yes, we are already communicating with Tianxia Space Agency and Navigator Space, and are discussing the feasibility plan, if you also think of any good way, you must hurry up."

Joseph and Emily were happy, feeling that they were saved and did not have to die on the moon, but at the ground command center, the rescue plan did not go very well.

said that it was to discuss the rescue plan together, but it was actually Tang Chao's home field.

After all, Yuegong-2 belongs to the Navigator Space Company, and the lunar rover is also from the Navigator Company, although the four astronauts are from the Tianxia Space Agency, but for the sake of convenience, they have been arranged to obey Tang Chao's command.

The most important thing is that the detection satellites with the highest detection accuracy in lunar orbit are also the pilots, and they must be used to plan a safe and fast rescue route.

"The problem now is that there is not enough time."

Tang Chao held the laser pointer and pointed to the image on the big screen in the conference room, and then the image he had here also appeared on the big screen in the conference room of the Merriken Space Agency.

"All the terrain on the lunar surface between the Yuegong-2 base and the accident site is unfamiliar, and it is impossible for our lunar rover to run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and can only use a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour, and the lunar rover cannot walk in a straight line, and has to avoid many large and small craters, large rocks and two small hills on the way."

"The company's technicians found several suitable routes, and finally selected one, and its actual passing length reached 429 kilometers, and the lunar rover could not arrive in 20 hours at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour."

The images displayed by Tang Chao are very clear, and the various annotations are also very clear, and the specific time is marked on each route.

Everyone looked at the most obvious mark, which was the final rescue route selected by the Navigator Company.

[It took 26 hours and the safety pass rate was 97%]

Looking at the others, the shortest time is 23 hours, but the safe pass rate is only 62%.

The highest pass rate was 98.4%, but the time it took soared to 34 hours.

Because the ability to detect satellites is limited, it is not possible to fully detect the safety of the road ahead, and some places can only find the situation when they go to the nearest place, which requires astronauts to analyze it themselves, so the probability of safe passage is not 100%.

Obviously, the 60% probability will definitely not be able to go, even the detection satellites have determined that the situation there is more complicated, and the actual situation may be more complicated, Tianxia's astronauts are just going to rescue, not desperate, there is no need to take risks.

Walking slowly is definitely the safest, but slowing down will make the time longer, beyond which Merriken's astronauts will hang, and there is no point in arriving.

The most suitable one is indeed the 26-hour one.

If astronauts are asked to reduce oxygen consumption, perhaps the "20 hours" survival time mentioned before can be more, but the problem is that the astronauts calculate according to the standard of waiting for rescue, removing some of the oxygen to be consumed in the early stage of collecting materials, and the standard of "reducing oxygen consumption" has been added.

The experts all frowned, this matter is really difficult to do.

"Instead of having astronauts walk close to the rescue convoy, it will reduce the distance, maybe some time."

"No, astronauts will increase oxygen consumption as soon as they move, and they will shorten their survival time more quickly."

"This ......"

The cycle is endless.

Fortunately, there are endless people to guide the way, and Joseph suddenly contacted: "Command center, we checked all the available materials and found that the folding lunar rover is still usable, I think we can take the initiative to get closer to the Moon Palace-2 base for a distance." ”

The people in the conference room were stunned for a moment, and then cheered in unison.

"It's done!"

The rest is left to time and luck.

Both sides have to drive their cars to each other's moon landing sites, like the plot of some Merrican's sci-fi TV series.

But this time it's not about stealing from each other, it's about reaching out to rescue on one side and surviving on the other.

For love and peace.
