Chapter 34: Moonwalking
Chen Mo was staying in his number room, just tidying up his belongings, when the robot suddenly knocked on the door and brought food, and was told that after eating, he was going to gather in conference room 77.
Soon, Chen Mo finished his meal and came to Conference Room 77, when he arrived, it was already half full, people of all colors, colors and hair, they were communicating with each other in different languages, their expressions could not hide their excitement and joy.
About ten minutes later, a French man about forty years old with a beard walked to the top of the conference table in a straight suit, and then he cleared his throat, and the people present saw this and put on the synchronous language translator next to the table.
"Hello everyone, I am Mr. Charles de Gaulle, the Tourism Officer of the 77th Moon, and I am very happy to be able to come to our satellite --- the Moon as a guest, and you will spend a 30-day journey to the Moon together, during which you will experience the infinite novelty and beauty that the Moon brings you. Of course, the premise is that you must follow the Lunar Residency and Tourism Regulations, which are now distributed to you by Alpha. ”
When de Gaulle finished speaking, a robot assistant walked over to him, and he very politely handed out a copy of the regulations for the residence of the moon to everyone.
De Gaulle then re-spoke: "We hope that you will read and follow the regulations for the stay of the moon and that you will have a wonderful 30 days here." Passengers who need to participate in different experience activities outdoors should register at the relevant registration office in advance, and relevant personnel will organize and lead everyone to go out together. ”
It turns out that moon tourism is also so restrained, not completely free, like joining a tour group. can't blame others for being rigorous, after all, this ecological warehouse is related to the survival of 100,000 people. For example, if anyone destroys the air generation and circulation system or the temperature balance control system, it will be a fatal blow to everyone... Chen Mo thought of this and sighed slightly.
After he came out of Room 77, he went straight to the outdoor hiking place to register. Originally, he wanted to sign up for the flight office, but he was told that he could only participate in one activity a day, and each activity required no more than 2 hours. It turns out that most of the time, tourists are required to carry out activities in the eco-warehouse.
After registering, Chen Mo returned to his number house and waited for the opening time of the outdoor hiking activity.
An hour later, Chen Mo received a notice to come to the opening of the hiking activity. Chen Mo found that there were about 50 people in their team, and before setting off, relevant personnel put on space suits for each of them.
After dressing, everyone took the moon bus and went to a relatively flat area, and when the bus arrived at the end point, Chen Mo finally stepped on the ground of the moon solidly.
The ground of the moon is relatively dry, the soil is relatively loose, and there are moon rocks scattered from time to time, and he always feels unstable when he walks on it, and before he has taken a few steps, he feels like he is about to fall forward. So, he chose another way of acting--- jumping in place.
Sure enough, this way of acting did not cause him to fall again. It's just that his tendons haven't fully recovered, and every time he jumps, he feels a hot dull pain. So after that, he could only watch the other people jumping endlessly. On the voice public channel, he heard everyone's voices of excitement and joy.
So, for the remaining half an hour, he looked up more at the blue planet --- Earth in the night sky.
In the night sky, the earth is so bright and dazzling, like a blue gem, hovering there quietly.
The two-hour outing time has passed, and everyone takes the moon bus back to the eco-warehouse. After Chen Mo got out of the car, he did not go directly back to his number house to rest, but came to the gym to exercise.
Since the Moon's gravitational pull is only one-sixth that of the Earth, he saw that the gym equipment was much more exaggerated than on Earth.
Six 50-kilogram barbell discus can achieve a 50-kilogram weightlifting effect, Chen Mo easily lifted a 150-kilogram barbell with one hand with a robotic arm and took a photo.
"Wow, your robotic arm is so powerful." A passing girl was surprised.
Chen Mo looked back, looked at the other party's badge, and then looked at the other party's face, and found that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Singaporean girl, speaking fluent Chinese, talking to him.
He smiled and nodded.
"You're Singaporean?"
"Well, that's right."
"You are fluent in Chinese."
"Yes, most people in our country speak Chinese."
"Are you traveling on your own?"
"Of course not, with my parents."
"And how long have you been here?"
"A month will be completed in a few days."
"How are you feeling about this trip to the moon?"
"Well, how to put it, that's it, I just feel a lot lighter, and the rest is not much different from the earth... That's why I came to the gym. The young girl tilted her head and walked to the treadmill next to her.
"By the way, brother, how long have you been here?"
"I just arrived today."
"You just came, I suggest you play for a week and go back, here I want to breathe the air of nature, I feel an indescribable stuffiness everywhere I go, let alone blowing the wind. If it weren't for my parents' desire to escape the contamination caused by the nuclear leakage on Earth, I would have gone back a long time ago. ”
"Huh? There are also nuclear leaks in your country? ”
"That's right, it's a global nuclear leak, and there are zombies in a lot of places this time! But fortunately, the zombies were killed in time in various places, and there was no large-scale virus infection. When the holidays are over, we will be able to go home safely. ”
"I don't read much news, and I don't know much about foreign things."
"No wonder you don't know, you don't know, last month, there was also a nuclear leak on the moon, but fortunately, it was dealt with in time, so there was no radiation man."
"Hmm."
"If there is even one case of nuclear virus, the entire ecological warehouse will suffer."
"That's right."
"So, it's okay to travel to the moon for a short time, and if you stay here for a long time, the risk will be much greater, and I also heard that last year, there was a person who was hit by a small meteorite in a spacesuit, and died after ten seconds, how unlucky you said that person should be."
"There was such a coincidence."
"I also heard that there was a person who got separated from the team because he was very afraid of the dark, and he was alone for too long, and he was scared out of mental problems by the darkness of the night sky, and I heard that he didn't return to normal later." Speaking of which, the girl may have thought that this thing was too strange, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently flashed a smile.
"Hey..."Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh in a low voice when he heard such a tragic thing.
"Brother, there is one more thing that you may not have heard of. I heard that it happened the year before last.,There was a criminal who came to the moon in order to escape punishment.,When the deadline comes, he doesn't want to leave.,Later, his identity was revealed.,He used the laser weapon hidden in the mechanical arm.,There was a skirmish with the moon security police who pursued him.,He actually killed ten people.,Finally, because his spacesuit was destroyed.,Only died of oxygen leakage.。 ”
"I don't think you're old, but you know a lot of things."
"It's all my hearsay, and when you stay for a month, you can hear a lot of anecdotes." The girl wiped her sweat with a pink towel while running.
After two minutes of silence between the two of them, the girl suddenly spoke again: "I don't know what strange things have happened on other planets..."
"Did those planets also have nuclear leaks?"
"Yes, but then the Space Channel column didn't find a signal for some reason, it was full of snowflakes, and the news reports didn't mention the situation on other planets, but fortunately, the moon was close and it wasn't so difficult to understand. But I guess it's all back to normal. ”
The two continued to fall into silence for ten minutes, after which the girl left early because she was tired.
