"Haha~~! Then I should be honored! …… 8 cans of liquid nitrogen, 4 cans of liquid oxygen, 10 cans of liquid water, 2 bags of genetically modified seeds and plants, wow! Growing ten times faster than regular plants? …… Rise~! Mark is planting potatoes on Mars, and we're going to plant sprouts on the moon? Hey~! How many oxygen molecules does this thing provide? I don't think I'm lucky if I don't grab oxygen. ”

"Maybe one will save your life, man. It was also a blessing to have plants in the company of them, and after 10 days, the seeds were able to meet the oxygen needs of 1.7 people and provide a lot of food. ”

"Really?"

Twenty minutes later, all the supplies in the airborne capsule were counted and sent to the trailer, and the two entered the lunar rover, filled with air, and took off their helmets and breathed greedily.

After a while, the lunar rover drove on the surface of the moon with a non-powered trailer full of supplies.

"When is the next replenishment?" Arnold on the co-pilot asked.

"If nothing else, it's 20 days later. These supplies are only enough to last for 20 days, but the third time five new members will be transported. ”

"Huh? To the departed Armstrong! ”

It took almost three hours to get to the location of the airborne capsule, but with the lunar rover, the return time was much faster, the road was not difficult to walk, and the speed was fast enough, and it only took about 50 minutes to reach the outpost.

When he returned, Brell was already waiting outside the outpost in a spacesuit.

"Welcome back." Brell smiled, then looked at Barry as he got out of the car, "You drive to pick them up, the coordinates are already given to you." Arnold, you and I are in charge of setting up the inflatable capsule and connecting to the outpost base, and there must be new space before they arrive. ”

Barry leaves the outpost again in a lunar rover. Arnold and Brell were also working intensely with the help of the light provided by the spotlights.

"Where's the inflatable capsule?"

"Uh, let me think about it, like at the bottom of the trailer."

"At the bottom? Don't you know we're going to use it right away? Blair turned to look at Arnold, a look that wanted to punch someone in his eyes.

In desperation, after clearing all the supplies on the trailer before finding the inflatable capsule, Brell muttered, "You carry these two sections to the interface at the other end of the outpost and connect them." ”

"What are you kidding? I can't lift it alone. ”

"Isn't there a trailer? Stupid donkey! It's hopeless! ”

"That makes me look like a donkey."

Blair shut up for the moment, he found that talking too much would make him unable to control his emotions.

There are a total of seven space habitation modules produced by Bigelow Aerospace, and the two placed the unfilled capsule at the opposite interface on both sides of the middle of the outpost, at this time they began to inject nitrogen into the space capsule, and the inflatable capsule was rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became a capsule-shaped expansion, the interface was in the shape of a ring, and the chassis had wheels and brackets, which brought the capsule close to the outpost interface and docked thoroughly, the bracket clung to the lunar surface, oxygen was injected into it, and the air in the capsule was mirrored with the earth.

After the first quarter was docked, the second session began, and so on, and so on, and it took 35 minutes for the two to finally expand the living space of the outpost.

The outpost was originally only 21 cubic meters, and each inflatable capsule was able to add an additional 19 cubic meters, and with the seven inflatable capsules provided by Bigelow Aerospace, the space of the entire outpost base was expanded several times, and the total space capacity also reached 154 cubic meters.

Looking down from the air, this lunar base is like a cross lying flat on the lunar surface, and the lunar rover has returned to the base not long after the Brell and the two have just set up the space facilities, but the two of them are still erecting solar electromagnetic panels.

"Wow, these are my footprints." Cork, who had just jumped out of the car, looked at the footsteps illuminated by the lights and said in surprise. Then he took a step, and everyone walked like rabbits, jumping on the surface of the moon, walking on the surface of the moon under one-sixth of the earth's gravity, and Cork felt very strange.

Ali Hand looked at the outpost base in front of him and muttered to himself, "We will live here for a long time."

"How long?" Cork had just come to him, and he asked rhetorically.

Ali Hand looked sideways at him and said, "Until we uncover the secret of the 'glass window'." When? Until the end of the XPRIZE program. He opened the outer hatch and entered the outpost, and said, "Everything we use here is made up of dollars, including all the facilities such as oxygen to breathe, and a kilogram of supplies from Earth can cost $150,000 at the lowest price." XPRIZE's budget is $54 billion, but it's still very tight. Our proprietor is not the money monster of XlouS, and although Alphabet is also rich, it cannot allow a plan that costs more than 50 billion dollars to go nowhere. ”

"So ......," said Cork, who was following behind his ass.

Ali Hand hung up the spacesuit, found a glass of juice and took a sip, "...... So, we need to come up with results as soon as possible so that Page and the Board of Directors on Earth have high hopes for us. The funds can be rubbed upward......" he raised his right hand and slowly raised it upward, "Although Alphabet is not as rich as the monster XlouS, Alphabet is not short of money. So, we're going to have to go tomorrow and look at that 'glass'. ”

……

11 hours later.

"Cork, get up! We've got to go. "Ali Hand has put on a spacesuit.

"It's not dawn yet." Cork said.

"Dawn? It's going to be 128 hours later, get up! ”

“OK！ OK！ OK！ Wait for me for five minutes. ”

In the lunar rover, there are four people in total, Barry is responsible for driving, Arnold is responsible for the role of bodyguards in response to emergencies, and the other two are Alihand and Cork.

"The 'glass window' is 50 kilometers away, around this crater, in this low-lying area......" Ali Hand said, pointing to the map, a plate of still eating a hamburger, staring intently at the map, four people around each other.

"The journey may be a bit bumpy, but our rover is good enough to get used to the conditions on the lunar surface, and it takes about three and a half hours to reach its destination." Barry said.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a good time to steal chickens and dogs, oh no, there's no wind on the moon, but that's okay." Arnold said with a grin.

"Shut your foul mouth, you're going to consume the most oxygen here." Barry growled.

Ali Hand shrugged and put away the map. The rover's engine was activated, and it immediately drove out of the outpost base and headed straight for its destination 50 kilometers away.
