Chapter 071: Operation Mending the Sky Begins
Elder Hobbit was very depressed, he was getting older, and he was expecting to help Archie step by step to the supreme position, so that he could retreat with peace of mind, but Archie suddenly encountered such an encounter, he couldn't even take care of himself by peeing, what else could he expect from him?
In the past, Elder Hobbit even secretly swore that if one day his wish came true, he would get rid of all his faults and become a completely good person. It seems that fate doesn't want him to be a good person anymore.
Watching Archie finally get out of bed and move to the ground with the support of the Autopilot Walking System, but having to hang a filthy bag around his waist, Hobbit felt for the first time that he, the moon elder with a second hand, had no future.
What does the massive restoration project on the outside of the moon have to do with itself? In the past, he would have appeared in public in good spirits, Hobbit thought, to hell with the activities that were in front of the cameras.
On this day he saw Mary, who was hurrying out and not knowing what to do, grooming her eyebrows as she went. Elder Hobbit stopped her and asked, "How are you doing, Marley, how are you doing?" ”
Mary didn't understand the meaning of Elder Hobbit for a moment, and after a while she replied, "Very well, the deputy chief has not performed his duties much these days, and I, the deputy chief's secretary, am afraid that I will be unemployed." ”
Hobbit hurriedly said, "How is that possible? Isn't he able to move freely? Your position will not change, and I am sure that you will continue to do this job well. ”
But Mary said disapprovingly, "But I'm already feeling the strain...... You know, old man, I don't think I'm as competent as a female nurse in a hospital when it comes to changing diapers and cleaning. With that, she squirmed away.
With a month to go before the Earth enters the long night, the restoration of the Moon has officially begun.
Three tall, sturdy support shelves have been transported to their predetermined locations in the lower part of the moon, and their supports are retractable. At the head of each supporting shelf is a huge ball of steel that can be rotated.
A shelf was transported from a tunnel under the moon to the ruins of the pyramid. A shelf is placed at the mountain pass where the moon meets the western edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The last shelf, the tallest, was transported to the western part of the Great Plains of India. Their role is to lift the Moon from the ground at that time, so that its surface is at least 3 meters away from the original point of contact. 3 meters is enough.
The Grand Leader of Yelu Zhousheng announced two events during the construction period:
One is that the moonmen who have the ability to move, as long as they are not involved in the restoration of the moon, will go to Africa or the Americas, because the gravitational attraction of those two places will not change much.
Second, residents who have to stay on the moon should pay attention to one thing: they are not allowed to jump, they are not allowed to throw objects hard, and they must handle large and small objects with care. Because he couldn't figure out if anyone would stomp their feet into the sky when the earth's gravitational pull dropped to its limit.
For the large-scale outing of the moon people, the great leader of Yelu Zhousheng arranged all the interstellar buses of the logistics department as support, why not have such a trip that young people do not need to pay bills? They called for friends and set out on the trip with the essentials of camping in the wilderness. The only regret is that they can't see the moon during its restoration. The Grand Leader promises that he will see an unedited documentary when they return.
Li Wen of the engineering department is the commander-in-chief of the raw material smelting mission in the Middle East, and his men are already working there a week short.
One by one, the integrated mining and smelting vehicles galloped on the vast field, plowing the green grass into patches of yellow sand, on which were scattered black and white metal blocks of 1 meter size - black tungsten and white nickel. They will melt into the cracks at a certain proportion at the point of repair on the lunar surface.
In order to avoid frequent visits to the Golden Pagoda to arouse suspicion, and to make the contact process clear, accurate, and foolproof, Yelu Zhousheng, who is resident in the Ball Laboratory, and Elder Hua in the Golden Pagoda use wired contact. The big leader assigned an assistant to Elder Hua, who was Shangguan Hua's sister-in-law, and some hands-on work was done by the sister-in-law.
After checking with Elder Hua for a mile and a mile, Yelu Zhousheng quickly felt that he was sitting there and even his body relaxed—Elder Hua probably put one golden shoe on the "Qian" talisman, and then put the second one on it as well.
Watson was at the restoration site, and the real-time surveillance images transmitted from the scene allowed Yelu Zhousheng to clearly see the status of each supporting steel frame. The steel frame that was originally stuffed to the bottom of the moon slowly stretched out under the action of a precision pressure cylinder, and the steel ball at the top came into contact with the lunar crust.
Then he found that the steel frame placed on the plain first appeared to be very difficult, and the data showed that the internal stress of the steel frame had reached the limit, and the great leader asked Elder Hua to put on the third shoe.
People felt the sky above them move slightly, and there was no tremor. He Jing was at the gate of the laboratory, and she noticed the change in the sky. He Jing asked, "Those three shelves are not small, but they are still insignificant compared to the moon. Wouldn't it be dangerous if they couldn't bind the moon and let it roll out. ”
Yelu Zhousheng said lightly, "It's okay, there may not be a piece of cake on the moon now, in case this happens, I will let Brother Watson carry it on his shoulder." ”
Everything went according to the expected steps. Gonggong, Kuafu, Nezha, Daji and others stood in the garden by the sea, looking up at the sky above them and pointing.
Now, the "sky" is changing rapidly, flickering and darkening, and the large gray areas of the moon's surface shell that have newly appeared during the ice capture operation are like patches of black, slowly drifting towards the mountains in the west, disappearing behind the mountains.
It was a long time before the new humans of Earth saw a black lightning bolt clinging to the surface of the moon slowly poking its head out of the sky, and finally hovering overhead. At this time, Yelu Zhousheng sent an order to Watson to stop rotating the moon.
Elder Hobbit went with Archie to Africa, where there was 24-hour daylight, and it was dusk in the Americas, and perhaps it would be good for his son to sunbathe more.
When he got out of the bus and watched as a nurse from the Central Hospital helped Archie out, Elder Hobbit thought that the female nurse might be a better fit for Archie, as Marley had suggested.
