"What are they doing? Can anyone tell me what they're doing? ”

"The resolution of our satellite observations is a bit large, and we can only vaguely see their Yuegong-2 and Benluna spacecraft, and the rest...... We can't see clearly. ”

"Yes, the astronauts are still too small, and the satellites have limited observation capabilities for them, sometimes they can capture a single pixel, sometimes they can't capture a single pixel, how can we analyze this?"

"We need a large number of samples for analysis, and as a result, you don't have to say a lot of things, and we can't even get together a decent sample, so we can't do this work."

There was a lot of noise in the conference room of the Merriken Space Agency, although the astronauts were also very curious about Tianxia's lunar base, but they also knew that curiosity was useless, although the two countries said on the surface that they wanted to exchange news and cooperate, but no one on either side moved.

The best way now is for them to go to the moon and build a moon base themselves.

But this is obviously unrealistic, so most of the astronauts are busy with the return to the moon.

The Deep Blue Origin side has been catching up 24 hours a day, and most people have pounced on this aspect.

But after Tianxia's astronauts successfully landed on the moon and settled in Yuegong-2, the Merrican military came to work hard and ran to the Merriken Space Agency every day.

The militarized modification of their space shuttle is going well, but those things can't be separated from the Earth's orbit, which makes them very nervous.

After all, they can modify the space shuttle militarization, Tianxia can also be modified, and Tianxia's orbital shuttle is more flexible than their space shuttle use.

Tianxia said that there was no militarized modification, who believes it?

Merrican: Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway.

So in that respect, the two countries are on the same starting line.

But now that the Tianxia people have landed on the moon, and the Lunar Rush obviously has the ability to return, the Tianxia people are also building bases on the moon, which is very uncomfortable compared to Merriken with one more attack dimension.

Oh, Tianxia said again, it was for scientific research, but Meiruken was still "do you believe it, I don't believe it anyway" thoughts.

Obviously, if I had a base on the moon, I would definitely attach a military use to it, how could other countries not have it?

It's just that they came to the space agency, and the space agency couldn't help it.

Since the end of the manned moon landing, Merrican has little interest in the moon and has begun to toss deep space missions to explore other planets and moons.

The equipment for observing the moon has not been updated for a long time, and the accuracy of observation of the moon has naturally stagnated, and if it were not for the launch of lunar orbiter probes by partners, they would not even be able to get the latest lunar data.

It's just that the lunar data obtained by the partners is not accurate, and now the most accurate data on the moon are all in the navigator, but it is the navigator that they want to monitor.

Without sufficiently accurate data, analysts can't analyze anything, let alone get the information the military wants.

[Is Tianxia's moon base a military base?] 】

[Did they dig a missile silo on the moon?] 】

[Is their spaceship a lunar warplane?] 】

[Did they place laser weapons in the lunar base?] 】

What the hell is this?

Analysts can only see pixels in blurry photos, and these problems should be seen in person.

Of course, it's not that they don't get any information at all, it's too small to see clearly, but they can still distinguish the big things.

Just like the rovers cleaned up the makeshift landing site, the surface of the moon has been modified to form an unnaturally formed circle that they can see clearly.

Then, as soon as they analyzed the situation, they guessed what it was.

In addition to that modification of the lunar surface, after the astronauts landed, they discovered another modification on the ground.

Not far from Yuegong-2, on a hillside outside the site of a base construction, the orbital probe captured long shadows that did not fit the terrain.

The ability to see shadows from the original sunlight reflection zone indicates that the terrain has changed, and the change is not small.

It's too small for them to see.

Did they dig a missile well on the moon? This is the case.

However, the analysts repeatedly checked the relevant photos, and then compared the data, and felt that it did not look like a missile shaft construction site.

Besides, how can there be four people who build missile silos, and when will they be built?

They were discussing with the military that the reflectivity of Yuegong-2 was expanding, when the latest data came from outside.

"Take a look, this is the latest image from the orbiter, a few pixel speckles of reflection, long strips."

Not only pictures, but also the latest analysis from the analysis center.

"After our analysis, it should be several of the seven lunar rovers that are lined up."

"We found that the rover agglomeration that had been clustered together in one area with a high-highlight reflection area had dissipated, and now there was a reflective area of this shape in another place, and we suspect that it was the previous lunar rover."

"Of course, if it was just a change of position, we wouldn't pay attention to it, but we found that those lunar rovers didn't simply move one place, but continued to move forward."

"We also roughly calculated their forward speed, which is basically between 25 kilometers per hour and 35 kilometers per hour, a very terrifying speed on the moon."

"Ground control can't reach this speed, and autonomous driving is even more likely to reach this speed, which is faster than the manned lunar rover in the Apollo program, and we have reason to suspect that the astronauts in Tianxia modified them into means of transportation."

"According to our analysis, their destination should be the permanent shadow zone, which is where the navigator used to look for water ice, and they sent people directly this time, and we suspect that they may have made new discoveries before."

"Including the damage to the previous lunar rover, it may not be as simple as the cause of the damage they claimed."

As soon as this analysis came out, everyone in the conference room felt that it was big news.

Not to mention the catty of the shadow zone, just those modified lunar rovers, their speed must have exceeded that of Merrican's previous manned lunar rover, and in the same time, they can carry Tianxia's astronauts to farther places.

Not to mention that they could have relied on solar energy to obtain energy, as long as the astronauts can hold on, then theoretically the astronauts of Tianxia can go farther, and it is not a dream to go all over the moon.

This pinched Merriken's ulnar nerve, which is commonly known as "numb tendons", which is numb when touched, and most people will say "" when they touch it.

If someone deliberately touches there, the person with a bad temper will be beaten.

Although international law stipulates that no country can claim sovereignty over the moon, it also stipulates that any country has the right to explore the moon, and the moon belongs to everyone, but the artificial facilities on it belong to the country that built it.

Even the unspoken rule is that no sovereignty is declared, but the actual zone of control is equivalent to some kind of claim.

And the premise of actual control is that you have to get there first.

Now that the Tianxia people have a modified solar lunar rover, the control range will definitely cover the entire Pollid crater.

According to the speed of the modified lunar rover of twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, the opponent can easily break through the range of the crater, after all, the diameter of the crater is only sixty kilometers.

As long as you spend some time and find a suitable way out of the crater, the Tianxia people can walk outside the crater at any time!

In ancient times, every mobility revolution was accompanied by the expansion of territory.

Now, there is a high probability that this situation will be repeated on the moon.

"No, absolutely not!"

The people of the military spoke out first, they absolutely did not allow such a thing to happen.

"What about our lunar spacecraft? Hasn't the partner company been built yet? ”

No one spoke.

Someone does not understand the situation, someone understands the situation, but some are afraid to say it in this case.

But in the end, he said it, because that's what he does.

"Your Excellency, our moon ship may be a little in trouble, because the partner company is now running 24 hours a day, and there is a problem with one of the production machines, so that an important part is damaged, and the launch time of our spacecraft may be ...... It's delayed. ”

"What?! You repeat! ”

Facing the military wanting to eat people, Aerospace also had a surprised look, and the man said again when he broke the jar.

He's a messenger anyway.

The military people are gone, and they are even more anxious than the people at the space port: "Let them hurry up and replace the new equipment, we must catch up with the schedule, and we must not change the launch date!" ”
