Chapter 350 [Reception of "Refugees"]
In stark contrast to the asteroid impact on the front side of the Moon, which seemed to be devastated and full of potholes, the far side of the Moon is now peaceful.
Twenty minutes later, the spacecraft arrived at the main base in the Mendeleev impact crater area, which had long been ready to receive foreign cosmonauts or payload specialists who had come to "take refuge", so all the good things were hidden, and some places that were originally freely accessible, energy rooms, and control rooms were temporarily turned into restricted areas.
The outdoor is full of light screen devices like solar panels, so there is nothing to see on the surface, and it is not rigorous to say that the light screen device or solar panel sail panels are all absorbing energy from the sun.
However, the optical screen device of fully conductive reflection directly collects photons and stores them in the light core.
With the smooth landing of the Sky Blade spacecraft in the edge of the base, more than 100 astronauts or payload experts from Europe and the United States, including David Thackvis, set foot on the moon again, which was the first time they set foot on the far side of the moon.
Everyone never imagined that they would come to the far side of the moon in such a "escape" way.
"God!!"
As the door to the hatch on the side of the Skyblade spacecraft opened, David Thackis and the others were stunned by what they saw.
Seeing the man-made facilities up close is undoubtedly even more shocking.
A payload expert standing behind David Sackvis said to himself in a daze: "I thought that the base in Jinghai District was already huge enough, and compared to here, it is really a small thing. ”
At this time, Wang Ke, who was wearing a power armor exit suit, came out of the base, and jumped all the way to the position of the exit hatch on the side of the spacecraft, he looked at the group of foreigners standing at the exit hatch position in a daze, smiled in his heart, and immediately opened the public communication channel and said loudly: "Welcome to the Tianqing Moon Base, everyone, we have prepared a sumptuous reception banquet." ”
Well, this list does earn a lot, please eat a meal is naturally not a problem, the most important thing is momentum, the scene in front of you is like a magnificent space epic written by human beings.
As Wang Ke's voice resounded in the public frequency communication channel, more than 100 foreigners also recovered from the shocking picture in front of them and walked out of the spaceship one after another.
"Oh my God, are they going to build a city on an extraterrestrial planet?" A British astronaut muttered to himself in a tone of disbelief.
The Sky Blade spacecraft did not stay on the moon for too long, and one or two hundred people unloaded the recovered facilities on the spacecraft, and the spacecraft lifted off again, carrying Li Peng, Liu Yiming and others back to Earth.
Here, the recycling facility was temporarily placed in the open air, and Wang Ke led David Sackvis and the others towards the base.
And along the way, if you can see the expressions of David Thackis and others, you will find that they basically subconsciously and silently open their mouths and look around, but the helmet of the cabin suit cannot see the expressions of the people inside from the outside.
Although he couldn't see their expressions, Wang Ke could roughly judge their inner thoughts at the moment from the constant looking around along the way, and this feeling was indescribably cool.
At this moment, David Sackis and others are looking around with the psychology of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
In the distance of the base, there are almost endless light screen installations, and huge engineering mining equipment, not one, but three.
As for the universal version of the lunar rover with a mass of more than a dozen tons, they feel that there are more than 40 of them, and there are more than 10 large long-range transport vehicles.
In addition, they also found that when they approached the huge cluster of buildings in front of them, there were no footprints on the surface of the moon, because all of them had been tamped into a smooth road, with no potholes or debris scattered.
There is no desolation here, and there are traces of human activity everywhere, and it is difficult for them to imagine that there is such a hot construction scene on the far side of the moon without witnessing it themselves.
The satellites of the US imperialists in lunar orbit can only take limited pictures, and the overlook of space and the direct proximity of the eyes are two completely different feelings.
As they entered the base, they were stacked with a large number of cubes not far away, and under the undazzling sunlight, those cubes did reflect a clear fluorescent light, albeit with a slight impurity.
David Sackvis's well-cut cubes asked curiously, "What's that?" Could it be ......?"
Wang Ke couldn't help but look at him when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "Oh, you said those lumps, they are the natural ice material on the moon. ”
What the?
Ice matter? Water resources?
When the payload experts heard this, they were shocked again, is it really pure water resources on the moon?
At this time, the temperature on the surface of the moon reaches more than 20 degrees Celsius, and in another hour or so, the temperature will soar to more than 100 degrees Celsius.
The far side of the moon is actually also illuminated by sunlight.
More than 200 cubes are stacked in the open air, and the mass of one piece is about 1 ton, and it is now melting and evaporating at a rate visible to the naked eye.
However, the ice cubes weren't exposed for long, and were actually just being unloaded from the heavy transport vehicles, and the convoys were already reading their way to the Shackleton crater.
At the current capacity, a round trip takes about a week or so, and the fleet is able to transport more than 200 tons of ice material to less than 300 tons.
At this moment, the staff can move a cube of ice matter with their bare hands, put it on a cart and transport it to the interior of the base, and the exit suits they wear are called power armor exit suits, and these PA3.0 power armors themselves can carry a mass of 1.2 tons.
Wang Ke looked at the busy staff and chattered a few more words by the way, pondered in his heart, and then sighed with a seemingly emotional emotion: "Mr. Sacvis, it's not a secret, it's really not easy to collect these ice materials, it takes too much manpower, material and financial resources of Tianqing Technology Group, they are excavated from the Antarctic Hengyin region nearly 1,800 kilometers away, oh, it is the Shackleton impact crater, and transported all the way by land, if the moon has a global navigation, it may not be able to be transported." ”
After the shock, David Thackis and the others also came back to their senses one after another, and only then did they realize that the two poles of the moon are now the private property of Tianqing Technology Group.
It's really a step behind, step by step, and now almost all the areas on the moon where there are natural ice materials are occupied by Gu Cheng's people.
The most unhappy and the most depressed is afraid that it is none other than the Americans, this is a typical lifting a stone and shooting themselves in the foot, I thought that the Commercial Space Act was beneficial to myself, but I didn't expect to give Tianqing Technology Group a wedding dress.
It's too late to talk about anything.
Wang Ke "complained" to these outsiders at this time, and when he sold ice cubes in the future, he could better increase the price.
It's not that it's expensive to sell, it's that it's really costly to do this thing on the moon.
On the premise of ensuring the confidentiality of core science and technology, the most important thing is to lead them to observe the development status of the Tianqing Lunar Base, and then they return to their respective countries to report what they have seen and heard and even felt.
In order to spur the sense of urgency of all countries, and not to cooperate with Tianqing Technology, I am afraid that I will not even have to occupy the pit in the future.
Time is money, although cooperating with Tianqing Technology Group will break the bank, and will indirectly nourish the development of the other party, but there is no way.
If you don't cooperate and break the bank, you may not even have a ticket to the Great Voyage of Space, but on the contrary, you may at least be able to get a ticket.
The current situation is to get on the boat and say, at least there is still a hope, otherwise there may not even be hope, and from then on you will be locked in the cradle of the earth.
