Chapter 128, Return Home
On the moon, the astronauts are very busy, and the time to return is getting closer and closer, only 8 of the 18 astronauts can continue to stay on the moon base, and the rest will all return to Earth.
Although the moon is a barren and lonely world, the astronauts are very curious about everything here, and they want to stay here for a while and contribute more to the construction of the moon base.
Here in the 'Houyi' spacecraft, the hatch was wide open, revealing its huge belly, and Liu Hanwen drove the lunar rover to drag a large piece of doghead gold into the ship's belly.
It found thousands of tonnes of doghead gold, even though here on the Moon, it still weighs more than 100 tonnes because the Moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the Earth's.
Although I really want to bring this piece of doghead gold back to Earth in its entirety, I have no choice but to cut it into small pieces and transport it back.
"What do you think is the best name for this piece of dog's head gold?"
Liu Hanwen thought about it and said while putting a small piece of dog's head gold into a box.
"Doghead Gold still has a name?"
Fang Bo's surprised voice came from the side of the headphones.
"Of course, as far as I know, the large amount of dog's head gold found on the earth has its own name, such as the world's first dog's head gold is called Canaan, our piece of dog's head gold is enough to completely destroy all the dog's head gold on the earth, and we must take a louder name."
Liu Hanwen said as a matter of course.
Then he thought about it and said, "What do you think of calling it 'Star Journey'?" ”
"Xingtu, the beginning of our interstellar journey in China, in the future, when everyone mentions the interstellar space history of our Huaxia, they will definitely think of it and think of its name."
"Liu Hanwen, I can't see it, your level of naming is okay, I think the name 'Xingtu' is very good."
Captain Li Haiyang's voice came.
"Well, I've always been very good at choosing names."
When Liu Hanwen heard this, he immediately grinned happily and said.
"Ahem~"
There was a coughing sound next to the headphones.
"And we haven't thought of a good name for our moon base yet?"
At this time, the voice of female astronaut Shen Yue remembered.
"Let's call it 'Moon Palace'~"
Li Haiyang thought for a while and proposed.
"Well, the Moon Palace is very good, the first base on the moon, where the fairy Chang'e lives, is very in line with our Chinese traditions."
Kong Zhifei took over and said with a smile.
"I see, anyway, everyone is chatting while they are busy, why don't we first name some hills, plains, and ravines around the base of the Moon Palace?"
Shen Yue's voice sounded again, and immediately the eighteen astronauts began to chat lively.
"How about I see that this hill behind the base of the Moon Palace is called Laurel Mountain?"
"Yes~can~where the laurel tree grows."
"I don't think it's good, this name is a bit awkward~ How about I think it's called Wu Gangshan?"
“…… I think it's better to call it Laurel Mountain~"
"That's it~ Wu Gangshan, you can't figure it out."
……
The busy time is always short, and soon the time came to 9 o'clock, and the 'Chang'e' spacecraft floated slowly from the moon and soon rose into space.
This is not only to test whether it can successfully take off from the moon into lunar orbit, but also to transport the unmanned spacecraft loaded with supplies sent in advance to space.
There were no accidents, and the 'Chang'e' spacecraft made a very smooth round trip several times, and brought all the unmanned spacecraft in space to the vicinity of the 'Moon Palace' base.
These unmanned spacecraft will also be part of the 'Moon Palace' base in the future, and they will also have independent life support systems, etc., and astronauts can also hide in them in case of emergency.
At half past nine, the eighteen astronauts basically finished their work and gathered in the open space in front of the Moon Palace base, which had been paved with steel plates, and would continue to expand in the future.
In the future, spaceships traveling between the moon and the earth will be able to dock directly here, which can be regarded as an airport.
In the middle of the open space, a flagpole has been erected, and Li Haiyang is holding the national flag, ready to start the first official flag-raising at the 'Moon Palace' base.
On this side of the earth, China's major TV stations are still broadcasting live manned lunar landing activities, and the camera has also switched to the place of the flag-raising ceremony.
Accompanied by the loud sound of the national anthem, the national flag was raised and began to flutter, and everyone puffed up their chests and sang the national anthem.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the national flag raised above the base of the Moon Palace is also a high-tech product.
Because there is no air on the moon, there is naturally no wind, and if the national flag is made of cloth, it will definitely not be able to fly on the moon.
In order to solve this problem, scientists have also specially designed the national flag that can fly automatically in an environment where there is no air or wind.
So at this time, although there is no air and no wind on the moon, the rising national flag is still fluttering in the sky.
On the earth, countless people are constantly paying attention to the manned lunar landing in China, and for the Chinese people, everyone is naturally concerned about the safe return of astronauts in the future.
As for the rest, naturally not too much attention and attention was paid to it.
But for the rest of the world, they are naturally more concerned.
NASA in the United States, for a whole day, the scientists and engineers of the entire NASA did not do anything, but gathered in the conference room to watch the live broadcast of the manned landing on the moon in China.
In just a dozen hours, it was a night on the Huaxia side and a daytime on the American side.
A large-scale lunar base appeared on the originally barren and lonely moon, and everyone's eyes were red.
In the background of the live TV broadcast, you can get a rough view of a part of the lunar base, with rooms connected together to form a complex of buildings, and in some places even the construction of a second floor has begun.
The floor is paved with steel plates, which is very flat, and it emits a metallic luster under the sunlight, and the area is already large, and there are steel plates and building materials piled up like a hill next to it.
"There is no difference between the moon and their own back garden for Chinese people~"
Paul, the head of NASA, looked at the lunar base, then looked at the two huge anti-gravity spacecraft near the lunar base, and then looked at the large lunar rovers parked near the lunar base city.
He knew that the Chinese people already had the ability to develop the moon, and it was really not difficult for the Chinese people to transport such a large lunar rover to the moon, build such a large-scale lunar base on the moon, and mine the lunar resources.
"The moon is the moon of all mankind, and we will never allow the Chinese family to dominate!"
Paul clenched his fists, and he was well informed that the astronauts in China had found a piece of dog's head gold on the moon with a mass of more than 1,000 tons, which was a windfall for a country.
This alone shows how rich the resources of the moon are, and here it is full of gold, a virgin land, full of countless treasures.
But at the thought of Huaxia, Paul frowned again.
This is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, one of the five hooligans with a veto.
This means that it is impossible to pass any draft that is unfavorable to China through the United Nations.
As for wanting to threaten Huaxia by force, Huaxia is not false, it wants nuclear weapons to have nuclear weapons, and it wants conventional forces to have conventional forces, and even now, Huaxia has mastered anti-gravity technology, and it can be used in the military field at any time, even if everyone joins forces to fight with Huaxia, it will not take much advantage in the end.
"Maybe only from the economic side can we put pressure on Huaxia and force them to open up anti-gravity technology~"
……
At 10 o'clock in China time, at the base of the Moon Palace on the moon, ten astronauts including Li Haiyang and Liu Hanwen and eight astronauts who stayed behind waved goodbye.
It's time to return home, it's time to return to Earth.
The two spaceships are filled with samples collected from the moon, including mud, rocks, meteorites, etc., and of course, the most important 'Star Journey' doghead gold is also inside.
The harvest is full, and the load is full~
"Homecoming~"
Orders from here from the Earth Control Command Center rang off next to everyone's headphones.
Ten astronauts walked towards two spacecraft each.
Soon, the two spacecraft slowly started, as if there was no trace of weight of the feathers, fluttering higher and higher, and soon entered the lunar orbit.
"Fang Bo, Kong Zhifei, Shen Yue~"
"We're leaving~"
Li Haiyang said goodbye to the astronauts in the Moon Palace base again.
"Let's go, let's go~"
In the Moon Palace base, Fang Bo looked at the two small red dots in the sky, and the small red dots were accelerating in the direction of the earth.
The lottery was drawn to stay on the moon, which was an honorable mission, although it was always a little uneasy to see the two spaceships departing at this time.
But he knew that this was just a psychological effect, and in a week, the 'Houyi' and 'Chang'e' spacecraft would descend on the moon to send supplies and expansion supplies to the lunar base, and then he would be able to return to Earth.
Shaking his head, Fang Bo continued to get busy, there were still many things to do at the Moon Palace Base, and the next time was busy.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, because the Earth's gravitational pull was greater than that of the Moon, the 'Houyi' and Chang'e spacecraft reached the Earth's orbit in only three hours, one hour less than when they went.
Neither spacecraft stayed in space and flew straight towards Earth.
Here at the Tianfu manned lunar landing base, when the two spaceships slowly landed on the top of the parking field, and ten astronauts walked out of the spacecraft in a neat line, the whole of China was boiling, and this manned lunar landing activity was very perfect!

In the previous chapter, a book friend pointed out the problem of the wrong calculation of the value of the dog's head gold, I have revised it, my math is really not graduated from primary school, thank you very much for pointing out the mistakes in the book~~
