It stands to reason that the accident of the national team did not cause the loss of the Navigator's equipment, and this matter has nothing to do with the Navigator, but this is not the case.

No matter how human beings tear up on the earth, but when they go to outer space, they are collectively referred to as "humans" and "earthlings", and in order to prevent human beings from tearing into outer space, international organizations have also come up with various space-related agreements.

So according to the obligations under some agreements, if Merrican is a signatory and it is unlucky this time, the other signatories will have to lend a hand.

Especially Tianxia, their base is only 347 kilometers away from the incident site in a straight line.

Coincidentally, Merrican withdrew from the group a few years ago, and it is not a party to the Outer Space Treaty, and it has not even signed the relatively binding and well-known "space constitution", let alone other space agreements.

This is interesting, because according to the law, it is okay if other countries do not save it.

Of course, there is humanitarianism in this world, which is also a private transaction, as well as a show of strength and a great power mind.

"So, out of humanitarian reasons, and in accordance with the space regulations that are still in force, send these things to the Merriken Space Agency, so that they can take measures as soon as possible, and if necessary, they can come to us."

Tang Chao's right fingers took turns knocking on the table, thought for a while and continued: "Contact the Tianxia Space Agency, and at the same time let our ground command center prepare, if the situation is critical, we may have to participate in the interstellar rescue." ”

"If human beings have an accident in outer space, the space facilities and astronauts of any nearby country must reach out to the rescue, and this is also a good time for us to brush up our international reputation......

"Wait, don't notify NASA, I've already been contacted...... Lao Zhang, you go and inform the command center first to get ready. ”

"Okay." Zhang Liyan hurriedly left the office.

Tang Chao answered the phone, and it was really Zhao Li over there.

As he spoke, he turned on the monitor on his desk, logged into his account, and began to retrieve satellite resources in lunar orbit.

"Hey, yes, I already know."

"Well, I think so too, then you let Cheng Dong and them prepare first, and my side will fully cooperate."

"The satellites in orbit will be watching at any time, I am already planning the route, you guys are negotiating first, and once there is confirmed news......"

Deep Blue Origin regrets it or not, Tang Chao doesn't know, anyway, he has already started preparations with the Space Agency.

And the Merriken Space Agency is now in a hurry, and they have determined the situation.

The footage they obtained themselves, the footage provided by the Tianxia Space Agency, and the footage provided by the navigator all showed the national team lunar module lying quietly at the landing site.

Among them, the picture provided by the navigator is the clearest, and it can be roughly seen that the displacement of the lunar module is not serious, it should not be a situation where it fell down hard, and then rushed for a distance, which looks more like falling on the spot.

In this case......

"I hope the lunar module is okay."

"Hope it's okay."

At the Merriken Space Command Center, many people were praying.

The top of NASA was in the conference room, and Director Jim put down the phone and said to everyone, "Okay, they agreed, and we will meet in the form of a video conference soon." ”

Everyone in the conference room knew what he was talking about, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were a little helpless.

There is no way, they have lost contact with the lunar module for more than an hour, and the orbital module turned around to observe a landing site and walked around, fortunately, the navigator is more powerful and can provide different angles, but real-time observation screens.

And judging by the relatively clear images provided by the Navigator, the lunar module is not in good shape, and the direction in which it is dumping is exactly to press the solar panels underneath.

I don't know if it's bad or not, anyway, the power supply of the lunar module must have been affected, and if the power storage system of the lunar module is not damaged, it can still provide power for 48 hours.

Two days, two days at the latest, they have to find a way, no, two days they have to get to the landing site to rescue those two astronauts!

They don't have the ability, just one working lunar module is still lying flat, and the other two are half-finished, and other countries can't count on it, but the Navigator's Luna is just parked in orbit, and it is said that the fuel is not almost filled.

Two days to fly to the moon seemed just right.

Of course, that's the most optimistic scenario, it's just that the solar equipment is damaged, but the rest of the equipment is fine.

What is the real situation now, no one knows.

"Director, the video signals from the Tianxia Space Agency and the Navigator Space Company have been received."

"Quick, go to the big screen!" Jim said quickly.

"Yes."

As soon as the voice fell, Tang Chao and Director Zhang of the Tianxia Space Agency appeared on the big screen in the conference room, and they were also in the conference room.

Because the matter was urgent, Jim went straight to the point after expressing his gratitude.

Although the location information of the lunar spacecraft is public, some internal data is absolutely confidential, so he first talked about the situation he is facing.

Two days is only their most optimistic estimate, and as for how long the astronauts will last, they don't know at all.

Anyway, the sooner the better, and the sooner you get there, the better the chances of the astronauts surviving.

However, there is a big problem here, that is, the astronauts do not know whether they are alive or not, the most optimistic estimate is to survive for two days, and the most pessimistic estimate is that the astronauts are dead.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a big problem.

It is very dangerous for humans to jump from the height of the third or fourth floor on the earth, if the angle is good enough, it may only end up with a broken bone, and if the angle is not good, it is possible to die with a whimper.

But the moon is different, its gravity is low enough, and if you jump from the same height, the probability of survival is quite high, and if you are lucky, you won't even get injured.

The astronauts in the lunar module probably fell with the lunar module from the same height, and the space agency knew that this thing was in a hurry, so it let the astronauts do a good job of protection when they landed.

Judging by such a collapse, it should be okay to survive.

But if the astronauts are still alive, why don't they get out of the capsule?

As he was talking, news suddenly came from the navigator's side, and Tang Chao said: "Everyone, the latest news, the two astronauts are out of the cabin." ”

As he spoke, he uploaded the video.

Turning the video to the big screen, the images of Tang Chao and Director Zhang were moved aside, and people could vaguely see two non-stop white objects crawling out of the collapsed manned cabin.

The hatch, which was originally more than ten meters high, was only two meters away from the surface of the moon because of the fall.

Although it was not clear in any detail, it was immediately determined that they were two astronauts.

Immediately afterwards, they were seen jumping two steps to the middle of the lunar module.

"They're supposed to check the antenna......"

The engineers involved in the manufacturing knew what they were going to do at a glance, and before they could finish a sentence, someone shouted, "Communication has been restored!" ”

"Quick, get in!" Jim shouted too.

"Zizi Zi ~ Help, Help, Command ~ Zi ~ Center, Great Wisdom, can you hear it? Complete. ”

Hearing this cry for help, the people in the conference room were about to cheer, but they were immediately suppressed by the director.

How can I have time to cheer you on in such an emergency, and even some people have to hug and kiss you, what are you doing, do you think this is a movie?

"Joseph, this is the command center, I'm Jim, how are you doing now?"

When everyone heard Jim finish asking this, they all waited with bated breath.

"Zizi~ The signal is not very good, because the antenna of the lunar module ~ Zizi ~ is broken, and I can only ~ Zizi ~ lift it up to find the satellite now."

"The lunar module ~Zizi~ fell, cracks appeared in the manned module, the oxygen tank ~Zizizi~ the oxygen tank also broke, we repaired it with duct tape, but they are still leaking, according to estimates, now we only have 20 hours of oxygen left......"

The more the astronauts on the moon reported, the cooler the hearts of the people in the conference room became.

This is much worse than they expected!

20 hours......
