Chapter 364: Rising Reputation

Seeing that the rescue mission was going well, the Merriken astronauts actually dropped the chain.

In fact, Joseph and Emily don't want to, they don't even want to die now...... Wait, no.

Anyway, they're panicking right now.

Their lunar rover is a simple folding lunar scooter, with similar specifications as a few decades ago, at most the battery is better, it can also be powered by solar energy, and communication is also good.

But it's the same as the National Team Lunar Module compared to the Lunar Module a few decades ago – only strengthened, but not qualitatively changed.

For example, from 30 points to 50 points, there is a lot of growth, but it still does not reach the passing mark of 60 points.

Merriken has better lunar rovers, both 59 and 70 lunar rovers, but they are too large for the 30-ton lunar module to carry them, and they are still in the experimental stage, so it is still this "retro" lunar scooter that plays a big role.

Joseph and Emily also want to survive, so they use the most primitive visual method to distinguish the road when the lunar rover's exploration ability is insufficient.

But those predecessors at the beginning didn't drive a car for dozens of kilometers in total, and the disposable battery lunar rover couldn't run more than ten or twenty kilometers before it was scrapped.

They are different now, with a diameter of more than 70 kilometers, they not only ran to the edge area, but also climbed the crater and ran out of the crater, completing the feat that their predecessors did not complete.

As a result, it was planted as soon as it came out of the crater, and it was planted in the "hands" of the cracks.

Although the lunar rover has a small radar that can receive satellite information, the radar is too small, and the ability to receive and send messages directly to the orbiting satellite is very limited, so some of the professional information sent by the Tianxia rescue team is simplified and then passed on to them, so that they underestimate the cracks outside the impact crater.

And then that's it.

There was no progress over there, and in an instant, all the pressure was on the Tianxia rescue team.

If you want to successfully save the other party, then the rescue plan will have to be readjusted.

The ground is constantly trying to find a way, and the convoy driven by Lin Yang and Peng Zizhen is also non-stop, as the people on the front line of rescue, they actually have more right to speak.

Soon they developed a new rescue plan on their own.

Because Lin Yang was concentrating on driving, the overall plan was said by Peng Zizhen, and they said a few words before and quickly thought of a "good idea".

"Mr. Tang, Deputy Commander Lin and I have come up with a solution? It should be possible to reach the new rescue site within the allotted time. ”

"What's the solution? Let's talk about it. ”

Rescue people on the front lines? Also the astronauts who have currently driven the longest route to the moon, their opinion is absolutely important.

"We've actually verified that we can run up to 30 kilometers per hour in a relatively safe place? And we want to grade the danger warnings? As long as the danger level is less than 30%, we will not get out of the car to verify? Instead, slow down a little and drive straight over. ”

"So even if the head car has an accident, the two cars behind can drag the head car? Isn't it just to prevent this in the first place? ”

"And we can also make a judgment based on the degree of danger that has occurred, if it is still far from the destination? And the loss of the first car is small, then we will drag the first car up, if it is closer to the destination, and the loss of the first car is larger, then we can completely abandon the first car, anyway, we have a total of three cars. ”

"Even if only one car arrives on time at the meeting point, then we are successful? Because our most important task is not to bring them back, but to deliver supplies that will last long enough. ”

"As long as the supplies can last more than 30 hours? The commander and Ah Fu on standby at the base can bring us back safely? Because we've poked out the safe routes. ”

"We feel like the success rate of this program is very high? Is it that we need to take a little bit more risk? The losses of Navigator Space are likely to be greater. ”

Such a large number of words came back from the moon, and everyone in the command center was listening carefully, these words would not be broadcast live to the outside world for the time being, and they divided the internal channel and the live channel.

Of course the command center knows what they mean? That is to exchange their danger for time, although it will not directly involve the danger of life because of various measures, but if an accident occurs on the moon, no one can predict the final result, whether it is really no danger to life, and no one can guarantee it.

But there seems to be no other way than this method.

Tang Chao, as the current commander-in-chief, he doesn't care, after all, he is just a private company, but he admires the spirit of the two astronauts very much.

As the one who taught them, he also respects their own choices.

The private company didn't care about this, because the level of interests of the private company was different from the level between countries, so he relayed the information to the Tianxia Space Agency and the Merriken Space Agency.

Merrican spoke first, and they wanted to use the new solution.

It's getting to this point now, people all over the United States, people all over the world are paying attention to it, and they have to get their astronauts back, so since there is a rescue plan, and the success rate of the plan is not low, they definitely want to use it.

And now they don't play any "just talk but don't practice" trick, saying that they will be responsible for all equipment wear and tear costs, and directly put a deposit of 100 million US dollars first.

Even if this is just the beginning, if the two astronauts are rescued, there will be more ways for Merrican to be grateful, and the cheapest way to cooperate between countries is to give money.

Tianxia is also a little embarrassed, when it comes to personnel safety, they are very cautious, but now the world public opinion is all here, and it is the astronauts who took the initiative to ask for help, so they agreed.

However, for the sake of safety, the two astronauts on standby at the base also set off, and with the previously explored routes, they already knew where to go fast and where to go slow, and they should be able to catch up behind the first convoy as soon as possible while ensuring their own safety.

With the addition of a second team, even if the first team has an accident, they can get timely help.

The two high-level officials agreed, Tang Chao naturally had no opinion, and after telling Lin Yang and Peng Zizhen the news, he spread the news.

The more windy and bright the festival, the more prestige can be brushed.

Now that people all over the world are paying attention to this lunar rescue, it is a very good time for people around the world to have a rare high degree of unity.

Tang Chao, the boss of the Navigator Group, the commander-in-chief of this rescue operation, a super genius in his twenties, and two Tianxia astronauts who took the initiative to apply for a more dangerous plan to save people, were deeply remembered by many people.

The astronauts drove through the moon and traversed dangerous places to find the safest and fastest routes.

At the thrilling moment, as soon as their entire convoy passed, the ground collapsed.

A suspected crack was really a crack, but the structural strength was slightly stronger, but it quickly loosened after the team ran over it.

Fortunately, the convoy quickly rushed over.

But they weren't all so safe, and when they were still more than forty kilometers away from the Merrican astronauts, the lead car finally crashed into a crack.

Scrap directly.

If the rigid spacesuit is not strong enough, the astronaut will also be in danger.

In this way, the chest part of Peng Zizhen's spacesuit was also scratched with a long trace.

It didn't break, but I can't be the lead car navigator anymore, just in case.

The closer they got to the Merrican astronauts, the closer they got to the crack zone around Clarke's crater.

Thankfully, they finally made it over, and finally got to them when the Merrican astronauts were starting to have trouble breathing.

When the oxygen tube was attached to the Merrican astronaut's spacesuit, the other party just held the hands of the two of them tightly, choked up and said, "Thank you!" ”
