Chapter 371: The Long Night (Part I)

Li Chengpeng returned to the moon base after a difficult trek, and the continuous transportation of materials made him physically exhausted, and he urgently needed to sit down and rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What about Zhang Haisheng?" Captain Luo Yili took the experimental instrument in Li Chengpeng's hand and looked behind him.

The sun is almost above the horizon, which means that with the exception of peaks such as Mount Yu, the rest of the world will soon go into darkness.

"Haisheng said that he wanted to bring the Yutu lunar rover together, let me come back first, he may be back soon, let's wait for him."

"Have you radioed him?" Luo Yili is more vigilant, because when he was training on the ground, he specially said that two or more people must be in a separate group to carry out missions on the moon, and they must not act alone.

Li Chengpeng was so tired that he said: "I've been carrying things, but I haven't had time yet, so I agreed to go slower, and he hurried over." ”

Luo Yili criticized Li Chengpeng and said: "In the future, remember to work in pairs, and it is right to carry the Jade Rabbit, but either the two of you will carry it together, or you will come back first and wait for the next sunrise to carry it." Hurry up and contact Haisheng by radio! ”

Li Chengpeng hurriedly turned on the radio communication equipment on his body and called: "Haisheng, Haisheng, where are you going now?" ”

Li Chengpeng was answered only by the faint sound of electric currents, which were the sounds of cosmic rays hitting the surface of the moon interfering with radio communication equipment, not Zhang Haisheng's answer.

Li Chengpeng was in a cold sweat and shouted again: "Haisheng, Haisheng, can you hear me?" An answer was heard. ”

"Zizi Zizizi......" the same electric current sound.

Since the communication equipment is the same, Luo Yili can hear Li Chengpeng's call to Zhang Haisheng, and he can also hear the current noise that answers the two.

Luo Yili was anxious, and called again: "Zhang Haisheng, Zhang Haisheng, please come back when you hear the voice." ”

"Zizi Zizi ......"

A suffocating atmosphere enveloped the crowd, and the sun ran parallel to the horizon, which meant that it was already pitch black at the bottom of the mountain, and the atmosphere dropped suddenly.

"Could it be that the communication equipment is broken?" Li Chengpeng walked outside the base and looked down the mountain with a hint of expectation, hoping to see Zhang Haisheng...... It's a pity that there are only barren rocks.

Luo Yili said: "There are only two possibilities, either his radio equipment is malfunctioning, or the wireless equipment received our call, but Zhang Haisheng did not answer. ”

No matter what the state is, the situation is very critical, because for the mountain, the sun has already set, and the temperature has begun to drop sharply, and if Zhang Haisheng does not return to the spacecraft or rush to the moon base in a short time, Zhang Haisheng will only be greeted with death.

"I'm going to find him now!" Li Chengpeng deeply regretted his decision, and he should go with Zhang Haisheng to get the Yutu lunar rover or come back with Zhang Haisheng and wait for the next day to get something.

"I'll go with you!" Luo Yili, as the captain, must not leave his companions alone.

The two walked out of the moon base and went down the mountain, but they never saw Zhang Haisheng's shadow.

Can't go any further! Further down there was cold and darkness. Even in the sun, the temperature is only -10 degrees Celsius halfway up the mountain. Without the atmosphere as insulation, the temperature drops very quickly, and at this time, the two of them can no longer work well, and the reserve oxygen in the spacesuit begins to supply oxygen.

Luo Yili immediately decided, "Chengpeng, we can't go any further!" Return to base now! ”

Li Chengpeng was very unwilling and said: "Captain, let's search a little further!" ”

Luo Yili shouted: "Return to the base immediately!" If you continue like this, you will be sent to death! ”

This roar made Li Chengpeng wake up, the oxygen they are carrying now is only enough for about two hours, if it goes any further, there will be no sunlight, and the ultra-low temperature will also make them face a lot of difficulties, if they are not careful, there will be accidents.

"Return to the base immediately and report to the Lunar Exploration Center!" Luo Yili turned around and walked up, "Damn! We contacted the communication equipment on the ship, hoping that Haisheng had returned to the ship! ”

The two returned to the lunar base and hurried to get in touch with the lunar exploration center.

"How's it going?" This time it was Chief Engineer Ouyang who was talking to them.

Luo Yili reported: "Zhang Haisheng carried materials from the spacecraft to the base, the last departure has not come back until now, we tried to contact by radio, but there is no response, it has been three hours, the sun has set, the situation is very urgent, we ask for the assistance of the ground center!" ”

The control center of the crisis of the situation came up with an emergency plan.

Ouyang said to the engineers: "Connect the Chang'e satellite and the Yutu lunar rover, immediately observe the situation of the landing site, connect the lunar spacecraft, and see if Zhang Haisheng is on the spacecraft!" ”

Engineers operate urgently.

"The Chang'e satellite connection has been successful, and it is heading to the pole and is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes!"

"The spaceship is connected normally, and the spaceship surveillance camera has been turned on."

"Report, the Yutu lunar rover cannot be connected, and the equipment has been turned off!"

Surveillance video from the spacecraft appears on the big screen.

The spacecraft was closed by the time the astronauts left, and it was empty.

Fifteen minutes later, the Chang'e satellite also orbited over the pole, but due to the horizon where the sun had set, the foot of the mountain around the mountain was dark, and the satellite could not see anything at all.

Ouyang took out the emergency plan and said to Luo Yili: "You continue to maintain radio contact with Zhang Haisheng, our side will monitor the spacecraft, the Yutu lunar rover has been artificially closed, which means that Zhang Haisheng got the lunar rover, but there is still no news of him for so long, and now there is only one possibility, he had an emergency when he rushed to the base...... Wish...... Hopefully he'll be back......"

With a distance of 384,000 kilometers, the Lunar Exploration Center is powerless to do anything other than maintain surveillance and search, and Ouyang cannot let Luo Yili and Li Chengpeng risk their lives to search for Zhang Haisheng.

The exploration of the moon is inherently unknown, even if there are sacrifices......

"Don't announce the news of Zhang Haisheng's disappearance for the time being, help me connect to the video call of the Chaos Biology Headquarters first."

Shen Huai received a call from Chief Engineer Ouyang in the headquarters office, and the first thing he was told was that Zhang Haisheng was missing.

Zhang Haisheng couldn't get in touch, and finally knew that his location was between the landing site of the spacecraft and the base. But now at the North Pole, it's dark everywhere except for the peaks around the mountains, and the temperature is very low, so I've asked them to stop searching. ”

Shen Huai didn't speak, and the office was quiet and terrifying.
