Chapter 14: The Moon
30 minutes before the opening of the M-52 base, 1,000 kilometers away, in the lunar headquarters, Ye Li was standing in front of the sand table.
In front of him was Yin Rangsheng's face, and Ye Li was on a video call with Yin Rangsheng, the general staff of the Space Administration, who was in charge of the second phase.
"So, your mission is coming to an end." Yin Rangsheng said.
Ye Li smiled and said: "Yes, General Staff Yin, I also left 55 for you, how to arrange it is up to you." “
"Okay, I know, what about my son Yin Chen, how is he?" Yin Rangsheng asked with concern.
Ye Li said: "That kid of your family is quite powerful, he has gathered a team of five people, it seems that his life is very leisurely, and he hasn't been out of hiding for three days."
Yin Rangsheng frowned and said: "It's not a good thing to be too idle, but you should hone and hone him more, don't worry, I will make some trouble for him when the time comes." ”
"Your dad is really ruthless, but there are 8 deaths on my side, and none of them are related to Yin Chen. But you have to be careful, don't kill too many people, our command gives a maximum of 20 indicators. Ye Li said.
Yin Rangsheng replied: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention." ”
"Okay, it's time for me here, Lao Yin, you wait to receive it." After speaking, Ye Li ended the video call.
By this time, the staff below had already begun to broadcast, and the sound of loud announcements echoed through the M-52 base.
The exits from base M-52 will open in 10 minutes, so please be prepared for the arrival of the destination in 10 minutes.
The five Yin Chen people in the hiding place were already sitting on the lunar rover waiting at the moment, and everyone was nervous at the moment, because no one knew what would happen outside the base.
Ten minutes later, the on-board computer on the lunar rover rang: "M-52 Base Area C No. 2 Hideout Rover, please note that your destination this time is the return point in the Roman Crater, the specific location is 32.6°N latitude and 85.4°W longitude."
With a "click", the door in front of the lunar rover opened, and Li Xiaodou drove the lunar rover into the passage behind the door.
The task of driving the lunar rover was obtained by Li Xiaodou with great difficulty, and he kept bragging about his driving skills, and finally Yin Chen agreed.
He was also afraid that if he didn't let Li Xiaodou do something, he would be dissatisfied.
The operation of the lunar rover is also very simple, with only a remote control lever that can rotate around and four gears, and this task is nothing to give to Li Xiaodou.
After a few minutes of low speed forward, the rover reached the front of the airlock, which was automatically pressurized and then opened.
After Li Xiaodou drove the lunar rover into the airlock cabin, the airlock cabin automatically depressurized, and the five people held their breath while waiting, everyone was coming to the moon for the first time, which no one had ever experienced.
At the moment when the door opened, a beam of strong light shone in, and Wofley, who was sitting in the co-pilot, hurriedly adjusted the mode of the glass to anti-glare and radiation mode on the main control computer.
This lunar rover uses nano-scale glass, which can change the composition of glass molecules through current signals to control the light transmittance and radiation resistance of the glass.
Gradually, the intensity of the light decreased, and Yin Chen saw that everyone was sitting firmly and said to Li Xiaodou, "Let's go." “
Li Xiaodou nodded yes and drove the lunar rover out of the airlock module.
After the rover drove out of the airlock module, everyone was curious and wide-eyed at the lunar world outside.
The M-52 base is on the sun-facing side of the moon, and the temperature on the lunar surface is at least 100 degrees or more, even if the rover uses polyhexafluoromethane, which is resistant to low and high temperatures, the temperature inside the vehicle is as high as 40 degrees.
Fortunately, the temperature controller in the car was running, and gradually the temperature stabilized at 26°C.
After driving out of the airlock cabin for a distance, Li Xiaodou stopped the car, turned back to Yin Chen and said, "Brother Yin Chen, come and take a look at the route." “
Yin Chen came to Li Xiaodou's side, Li Xiaodou pointed to the computer screen and said, "Look, we are now in the Cruise Crater, located at 23.6° north latitude and 96.3° east longitude. “
Yin Chen thought for a while and said: "This position is very embarrassing, whether it is to the east or west, the distance is about the same." “
Li Xiaodou swiped the map with his finger and said: "I have carefully looked at the terrain of the east and west routes, and the time taken to drive is also about the same. It's up to you to decide which one to take. “
"It's almost 6,500 kilometers from us to the Roman crater, and we can walk 80 kilometers per hour, 14 hours a day, which is 1,120 kilometers, and it takes about six days to get there. Ding Jia, do we have enough fuel? Yin Chen asked.
Ding Jia thought for a moment and replied: "Six bottles of liquid oxygen are almost enough for us to drive 4,800 kilometers, and the remaining 1,700 kilometers will be powered by solar panels." “
Yin Chen glanced at the pad and said: "In this case, let's plan like this, today is the first day of the new year on October 3rd, and the far side of the moon is all daytime, and slowly the morning line will move westward, and the dusk line will move eastward." We walked east along the latitude for about 3 and a half days before we met the dusk line. “
Ding Jia continued: "Then we used the three and a half days to charge the solar panels, and finally used the batteries to power the 1,700 kilometers left. “
"Yes, if there are no accidents along the way, it should be fine. In a moment, Waffley was doing the math of the details. Yin Chen said to Wofley.
After Wofley's calculations through computer models, the feasibility of Yin Chen's plan was determined.
Five people left the M-52 base in a lunar rover.
After the lunar rover turned and drove out of a distance, Yin Chen and the five finally saw the whole picture of the M-52 base, a huge piece of silver-white buildings were spread on the ground, and a huge sun hung overhead.
The M-52 base shone brightly under the sun, which was the starting point of the rescue plan and a new starting point in the lives of Yin Chen and others.
In the aviation headquarters on the other side, Yin Rangsheng was leisurely drinking tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, Yin Rangsheng called his adjutant and said, "Xiaolou, you can arrange to make some trouble on the way of the lunar rover in the No. 2 hiding place in the C area of the M-52 base, and it is better to fake it, so as not to look artificial." ”
Adjutant Lou took the order and went to work.
At this time, Yin Chen, who was talking and laughing in the lunar rover, didn't know that his dear father had prepared a series of troubles for him.
Yin Chen and the five drove the lunar rover to the Roman Crater, and everything went smoothly in the first two days.
During the day, the five people take turns driving the lunar rover, and at night everyone sleeps in the lunar rover while taking shifts to keep watch
The first time you came to the moon, you didn't feel obviously uncomfortable, but you were also shocked by the desolation of the moon, and slowly you will have a sense of strangeness and loneliness.
Fortunately, everyone can still have a companion, Wofley and Li Xiaodou are always arguing, and they can often make everyone laugh.
Maybe it was too calm along the way, and gradually everyone relaxed, but they didn't know that danger was coming.
