Chapter 109: Darkness
Through the radio built into the spacesuit, Zhao Huasheng heard a slightly deep male voice: "Hi guys, hello, we're here to pick you up." Has it been a smooth journey? ”。
"It's going well, but the scenery on the moon is a bit boring." As one of the astronauts spoke, he quickly picked up a box of supplies that he didn't know what they were and put them on top of the lunar rover.
There is a vacant space behind the rover to carry specimens of lunar material, and it is just right to put the supplies it has brought there.
Several astronauts chatted while carrying all the supplies onto the lunar rover, and then a total of five people got into the two vehicles, and under the guidance of the navigation instruments, the lunar rover continued to walk crookedly forward.
The moon has no magnetic field, so naturally there is no such thing as north and south. It's an eternal desolation and loneliness, and there's nothing like landmarks or terrain. The darkness around is as thick as water, and even if there is something landmarked, you can't see it. But the astronauts are driving here without fear of getting lost. Because there are at least two satellites orbiting in the moon's sky, providing astronauts with accurate position information.
Through the glass above the helmet of the spacesuit, Zhao Huasheng can clearly see these scenes. The lunar rover has high-powered searchlights on it, and it can illuminate at least a distance of hundreds of meters, but no matter how far it shines, the scenery that Zhao Huasheng sees is always desolate. Gravel and dust are the constant tone here, and the occasional hill bag or meteorite crater or something like that can make a little difference here.
In the continuous advancement, Zhao Huasheng suddenly noticed a bright spot from a distance. The bright spot started small. But as the distance approaches. It keeps brightening. In the end, Zhao Huasheng saw the whole picture.
It's a great building that is incredible. In the midst of this boundless darkness, it crawled on the ground like a giant beast, quietly watching here. When the rover came to it, a door opened silently, and the rover drove directly in, and then the hatch behind it closed. At this time, several astronauts and Zhao Huasheng left the lunar rover, and by the way, moved those supplies behind another open door. After everything is in order. The door was shut. After waiting for a while, Zhao Huasheng suddenly heard the voice.
The presence of sound proves that there is a medium, such as air, otherwise sound cannot be transmitted. So Zhao Huasheng knew that after being isolated from the external environment of the moon, this place began to be inflated and pressurized. With the increase in air pressure, Zhao Huasheng saw that the bulge on the spacesuit caused by too much internal pressure also deflated. After waiting for the meter to reach 100 percent, one of the astronauts said, "We can take off this spacesuit." ”
In the past, when the aerospace industry was just starting, putting on and taking off a spacesuit was a very troublesome thing, and one person could not complete it. However, with the emergence of the explosion of human civilization and technology. Spacesuits have also become much easier and more advanced, and it is no longer necessary for a person to put on or take off a spacesuit.
Zhao Huasheng took off his spacesuit. After keeping them here, they entered the main building of the lunar base through the corridor. It's spacious, bright, and full of user-friendly and technological design. Aside from some discomfort due to the change in gravity, there is not much difference between this and the cozy villas on earth.
Two astronauts went to place the supplies, and the other two astronauts accompanied Zhao Huasheng to look around in the lunar base, and explained to Zhao Huasheng how to use various facilities and some precautions by the way.
"It's a growing area, and because of the multi-layer cultivation method, it's not a big place, but it produces enough food for two people. We have left a lot of plant seeds here, each seed has a corresponding planting method, where the temperature regulation, humidity regulation, watering, fertilization, harvesting, pruning and other processes are all automatically controlled, when you plant plants, you only need to set the parameters of the automatic planting instrument according to the data on the guide manual, they will be taken care of by the robot very well. ”
"It's an entertainment area. Here you can turn on or off the data connection channel with the earth according to your wishes, and you can freely choose whether to synchronize the data with the earth database. If you choose to sync, the latest music, books, movies, and other things that have been carefully selected by the experts will be transported here. ”
"It's a seating area. You can choose the parameters that suit you to set the temperature, the sound, as well as the height and softness of the bed. If you want to fall asleep under the stars, you can turn on this switch. When the ceiling becomes transparent, the starlight will shine here. You don't need to worry about radiation or an interstellar meteorite impact, first of all, an interstellar meteorite impact is a very unlikely event relative to a specific area, and even if it does hit this place, a high-strength protective layer can properly protect you. ”
"Here is the dining room and kitchen area. The automatic cooking robot has stored three thousand and seventy-nine recipes for how to make them, and all you have to do is put the prepared ingredients here and it will automatically cook the dishes for you. There is no need to worry about the taste of the dishes they make. Each and every one of their parameters has been precisely calibrated by a team of gastronomic experts and culinary experts, and the cooking robots are no worse than any of the top chefs on the planet. ”
"This is a research area. We are equipped here with the latest powerful computers and the most sophisticated observation equipment. Due to the special environment, the resolution accuracy of optical and radio telescopes here is no worse than that of any giant telescope on Earth. If you want to communicate with your peers on Earth, you can choose to turn on the data switch here, and any of the top scientists on Earth will be happy to share the latest scientific discoveries with you. ”
"Here's the power module. It is powered by chemical and nuclear fission fuels stored in the base, as well as an array of solar panels located a few hundred meters from the base. You don't need to worry about running out of energy, as long as the sun is there, the energy supply here will never be cut off. ”
"It's a tool and repair area. Here you will find information on the installation and repair of all modules for the entire site, as well as the corresponding replacement parts. If something goes wrong, you can follow the repair manual or the instructions of an Earth expert to properly fix it. You have received two years of professional training on Earth, and I am confident that this will not hinder you. ”
"This is the ...... of the air and water recycling area"
"This is the ...... of the waste recycling area"
Under the leadership of the two astronauts, Zhao Huasheng spent almost three hours visiting the entire lunar base, getting a general understanding of the equipment and regional distribution of the lunar base, and having a general understanding of the lunar base. After looking at the last place that needed attention, Zhao Huasheng nodded lightly, still without the slightest expression on his face.
"So...... From now on, it's yours. The astronaut spread his hands and said to Zhao Huasheng.
The delivery of the lunar base has been completed, and the two astronauts also put the supplies at the designated place, so the four of them came together to confess to Zhao Huasheng, and then they walked into the isolation cabin, put on the spacesuit in the isolation cabin, and left the lunar base.
Through the cameras installed outside the lunar base, Zhao Huasheng clearly saw that there was a lunar vehicle carrying four astronauts heading towards the landing module ten kilometers away. After boarding the landing module, the lunar rover will be abandoned here, and Zhao Huasheng can remotely control the lunar rover through remote control equipment and come back.
Sitting in front of the surveillance screen, Zhao Huasheng watched in a daze as the lunar rover got farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the thick darkness. After some more time, surveillance equipment photographed a bright fire in the distance. Zhao Huasheng knew that it was the landing module that took off. The landing module will dock with the Houyi spacecraft, which is in orbit around the moon, and Houyi will take them back to Skylab and back to Earth.
Seeing that the fire in the dark sky finally faded away, Zhao Huasheng knew that at this moment, he was really the only one left on the moon. From this moment on, no matter what Zhao Huasheng looks, he will perceive a sense of loneliness and gloom.
Zhao Huasheng also came to the isolation cabin, and after putting on the spacesuit, he came to the outside of the moon base. Anyway, there is a navigation system in the spacesuit, and Zhao Huasheng is not worried about getting lost, so Zhao Huasheng wandered around the moon, walking in one direction, and he didn't know how far he went, until the light of the moon base completely disappeared from his eyes.
Zhao Huasheng simply lay on the ground of the moon, only staring at the stars in the sky in a daze, and watched there until the spacesuit began to give early warning of insufficient energy and oxygen content.
"Your purpose has finally been achieved, you have finally left human society and come to live on the moon alone...... But why, I sense that you are unhappy? At this time, the voice of the long-lost plasma life form appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind.
"That's my business, it's none of your business." Zhao Huasheng said indifferently, "Let's start waiting, when you can see the sun here, when the sun's rays can reach here...... I'll construct a communication link between you and the solar civilization for you. (To be continued......)
