Just when Ren Hong had just met Sean. Victor and Elon. Musk reached a preliminary cooperation intention, as far away as Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA. It was 1:29 a.m. local time, but most of the people at the entire airbase had not slept.

At 1:37 a.m. local time, the entire launch site of the air base was illuminated by firelight, and a launch vehicle slowly lifted into the air, carrying up to 47 tons of cargo worth $6.9 billion, without a single astronaut, and the goods transported were impressively marked with the Google logo. It is worth mentioning that it will not dock with the only space station currently operating in orbit, and after reaching the Earth's high-altitude parking orbit, it will go straight to the moon after a circle of readjustment and deterioration.

Day 4. The 15th U.S.-China Business Roundtable has been successfully concluded, Ren Hong is still in the United States, and the Chinese representative will remain in the United States for up to four days after the summit. Page returned to the company's headquarters as soon as possible.

……

As early as 14 days ago, the sensational Google XPRIZE moon landing program successfully entered the far side of the moon 14 days ago, and the new footprints left by humans on this planet were transmitted back to Earth.

At this moment, the moon is orbiting it.

On the orbital platform, there are four members of the Google spacecraft flying around the moon, and the others are on the far side of the moon at this moment, and the astronauts are setting up outposts on the far side of the moon as pioneers.

The Google spacecraft orbiting the moon is a fifth-generation spacecraft from SpaceX, a spacecraft powered by SpaceX. In fact, Alphabet itself led two investments in SpaceX during its development, and Alphabet has been following each time SpaceX raises funds, so it can be said that Alphabet itself is one of SpaceX's major shareholders.

The outer space is dark, unreachable and yet touchable, without the obscuration of the earth's atmosphere, the stars scattered in the sky can be seen at a glance, and the colors of the major galaxies are all in the eye, which is so beautiful in the overwhelming darkness. Inside the ship, one of the crew members looked at outer space through the window of the spaceship and exclaimed, "Extremely beautiful, extremely dangerous." ”

His name is Cork. Tekovic, an Egyptian-American, is one of the world's leading linguists and has been working at Google for eight years, and he joined the project.

"To be honest, Alihand, I never thought in my life that I would be able to go into space in my lifetime, even land on the moon, I have entered the Egyptian pyramids, deciphered the secrets of the Mayans, and even been exposed to many pictures and unsolved mysteries left tens of thousands of years ago, but I never thought that there were really aliens in this world, and even I might ...... No, it's about to crack the alien language, oh my God. He said to himself, getting more and more excited, "Alihand, when will we officially land on the moon, when will we be able to see the ......" Excited Coke said, he took out a picture of the mysterious unnaturally formed hook that was photographed, "...... When to see what's in that window. ”

"Wait for the rover to come. It is impossible for us to get past the outpost, and the oxygen supply will not allow us to go more than three-thirds of the way we are to the destination. Ali Hand replied.

In the cabin, while controlling the instruments and equipment, the muscular astronaut heard the words and said to himself: "Compared to looking for those damn aliens, I am more concerned about the fact that there are only three days of living supplies left here, when will the supplies come?" The outpost below still has a day's worth of food for them to eat. Ha~~! You can't grow potatoes on the moon. ”

"Haha~! You mean the old "The Martian" film? There are too many bugs. ”

There was a burst of laughter from inside the ship, and the people all looked relaxed.

"Cork, how does life in space feel?" Astronaut Clark chitted.

"Aside from the extreme discomfort of acceleration, it was fine, very good, and it was bound to be the most memorable trip of my life." Cork said, only to see him take out a generation of drinks, squeeze out a bunch of liquid, and suddenly levitate in front of him into a liquid ball, the light blue liquid formed the most complete sphere in space, Cork's mouth approached and then inhaled it.

"Ha, I'm getting more and more proficient." Ali Hand smiled when he saw this.

"It's called survival instinct." Coke smiled, and quickly closed the bag and set it aside.

"Okay, here are our supplies." Astronaut Clarke, who was in the driver's seat, said, and quickly unbuckled his seat belt and pulled out of his seat, "Androny, you take over the control of the spacecraft." ”

When Cork heard this, he immediately moved his body and floated to another window hatch, and he looked out the window, and he already saw the approaching artificial celestial body, although it was the size of an ant, but it was already able to be seen with the naked eye. It's slowing down.

"Remember, Cork! Sit still and don't mess with the instrument, no matter what the button is, it's best not to touch it. The astronaut had already put on his spacesuit, and as he walked to the other hatch, he looked back at Cork and said.

He smiled, stopped talking nonsense, walked to the other end of the hatch, closed the hatch, the air pressure in the closed independent cabin plummeted, and after a while, astronaut Clark opened another hatch, a cable buckled the lower abdomen, and then slowly floated out of the spacecraft and into the spacewalk. He was outside the spaceship, staring ahead, and at this moment, far away from the direction of the ship's flank, he could already see with the naked eye that the supply module flying from Earth was heading towards the spaceship.

"Oh, it's a big guy, enough for us to eat for four or five months." He looked at the supply pod and muttered to himself.

"In fact, the rover occupies a third, the fuel supply is a third, and the other exploration instruments are a third." Androni's laughter rang out over his communicator.

"What about the food?" Clark asked.

"Eat? Haha, it's no longer light, it should be a little bit by the way. Androni replied.

"Damn, I hope there's a bottle of Taiping Island wine with me." - Clark.

"Ha~~! Just kidding, this time the life supply is enough for the seven of us for twenty days, but you don't have a drop of wine you want, let alone Taiping Island wine, you want to drink it back to earth. ”

After a bit of small talk, as time went by, the supply module got closer and closer, and Clark also put away his leisure mentality, "Prepare for rendezvous and docking, if there is a little problem and the docking fails, we will all freeze to death and starve to death on the moon." ”

This is definitely not a joke, everyone immediately restrained their expressions when they heard this, and Coke was silent and silent, quietly looking at the supply cabin that was already approaching outside the window cabin.

The supply module is actually split into two sections, with the rover being loaded in a separate compartment, which eventually separates and sends the rover to the lunar surface, the far side of the moon where it is located.

Clark came to the docking hatch, at this moment, the supply module and the Google Wyvern spacecraft are in a relative flight state, the supply module and the docking hatch of the spaceship are slowly approaching, and Clark on the side is watching with bated breath and control.

"Docking complete." Androni said, staring at the display panel.

"Alright, guys, you can worry about next month's food." Clark chuckled, and there was a sparse cheer from inside the ship.

At this moment, Clark, who was walking in space, came to another hatch in the supply module, and opened the hatch to enter the cabin, only to see him pull the cable and separate from himself, "Androny, take back the cable." ”

"Understood."

The entrance to the outer compartment of the supply module was closed, Clark looked at the display device, and after making sure that the air pressure was stable, after a while, he put down his helmet, opened the inner hatch and walked in, looked around, and then shouted in the communicator: "I need someone to come and count the supplies, count the equipment, and test the lunar rover, the third module will be separated from the spacecraft and sent to the lunar surface sentinel in 5 hours." Alihand, you also have to prepare, you will land on the moon in 7 hours. ”

"I've been preparing for half a month, just waiting for this moment!"
