Chapter 288: Exploration

On the moon, the news about the loss of contact with the astronauts has been encrypted back to China, and it is terrifying for Xia Yu and others. There is no doubt that the Starship Project cannot be stopped, but if it is attacked by alien spacecraft, whether the lunar base can withstand it is a big question.

Although it seems that only eight small machines have participated in the attack, but it is an alien thing, God knows if it will lead to something more terrifying if it continues to go deeper, and the first and second leaders after knowing the situation are even more frowned, because it is very easy to attract the attention of Western developed countries to rashly increase support under unclear conditions, not to mention that the attention of the lunar base is already very high, and the United States submitted a plan to Congress at the beginning of the year. The plan to walk the moon and launch a satellite around the moon has been put forward again, which is also a clear signal that the United States does not want to lag behind China in space construction programs.

"Are we going to suspend the Starship program?" The second leader said with great hesitation: "At present, we have gained a lot from the starship program, but there are still more bottlenecks that have not been broken through. ”

"Project Starship can't be stopped." Hearing this, the No. 1 leader immediately shook his head and said, "This plan is related to the fortunes of the country, and we can only suspend it at most." ”

"That's what I meant." The second leader continued: "The problem is how to suspend the method, because the possible attack will definitely stop the exploration of the spacecraft, and we can no longer accept the loss of personnel." ”

"In this way, the Starship Project continues to work as planned, and the delivery of supplies continues to go as planned." The leader of No. 1 said: "After three months, this group of people in the lunar base will be rotated, and the technical reserves of the starship program can be digested by the country for at least half a year, three months, whether it is maintenance or continued exploration, let the people of the lunar base figure it out by themselves, in short, there is only one requirement, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to leave the lunar base ten kilometers beyond the range to ensure safety." ”

The second leader nodded in agreement, and it seemed that this was the only way to do it for a short time.

Before transmitting the relevant information back to the earth, on the lunar base, after Xia Yu contacted the base commander Huang Changming, Huang Changming could only drive the lunar work car to pick up Xia Yu and the four of them, a distance of more than 20 kilometers, if it was on foot on the moon, it was not easy to walk, even if he could walk, the oxygen was not enough, so when Huang Changming came, he also brought enough oxygen supply by the way.

While rushing along the way, Huang Changming also learned the general situation of the matter, considering that there may still be danger, so in addition to the bodies of Liu Xiao and Chen Yongbiao, who were killed by the escort plane on the cliff, can be recovered, the bodies of the astronauts who died under the cliff before can only be temporarily left below.

"Let's go back first." Xia Yu glanced at a few people, and then said: "Lao Chang, Jin Ming, you two carry a flying saucer of that kind back, Lao Luo, you carry one with me, dismantle it after you go back, and then send it back to China." ”

Ivy and the others nodded, and then slowly jumped to the side of the nearest escort plane next to the nearest escort plane, the two of them wanted to try the weight, but they found that this thing was so light, one person could easily lift it, Xia Yu also found the same situation, so he simply asked Luo Xiang to carry the wreckage of the escort plane alone, and he was with Jin Ming, carrying the bodies of Liu Xiao and Chen Yongbiao to the lunar work car.

After getting ready, Huang Changming drove the work car in the direction of the lunar base. The first thing I did after arriving at the lunar base was to pass the relevant information back to China, the information content encrypted in deep error order was just text, and the video content would be brought back when I returned in three months, and the order from the earth was also very clear, in the next three months, Xia Yu and the others could not explore the alien spaceship again, but Xia Yu had already learned from the starry sky that there should be no more escort planes on the scientific research ship, because the starry sky said very clearly, the huge hull that was three or four hundred meters longUnder normal circumstances, once an abnormal situation is found, it will be forty escort planes at the same time, and this time only eight have come out, which means that some of the escort planes have been lost in the impact, that is, if there are no accidents, the current alien spacecraft should not have any accidents.

Although Xia Yu knew about this situation, it was impossible to reveal it like this, so he persuaded others to set up several temporary signal base stations between the lunar base and the spacecraft, and used modified expedition vehicles to carry out remote control expeditions.

In just one month, Xia Yu advanced five hatches again on the basis of the original fourth hatch, not only recorded the situation inside the spacecraft, but also confirmed the safety, this kind of mission that can be carried out as long as the expedition vehicle has enough power also allows the working time to be extended, which is also one of the important reasons for the significant increase in progress, and this method is known in China, it is even more vigorously supported, and a batch of small expedition vehicles were sent to the moon again, and there are also a large number of cutting equipment.

Because of the help of the starry sky, Xia Yu has long known the location and structure of the scientific research ship, not only to avoid unnecessary waste of time, but also to reach the target, confirming that the spacecraft is in a safe state, and at this time, the next batch of astronauts in rotation have also begun to prepare to set off from the earth to replace Xia Yu and others.

"In seven days, the astronauts who will replace us will land on the moon." Huang Changming looked at Xia Yu and said: "Although the expedition vehicle has basically confirmed the safety of the alien spacecraft, we still can't confirm that it is 100% safe, and at this time you have to go inside the spacecraft in person, I don't agree." ”

"I know there's still going to be danger, but that's why I'm going." Xia Yu insisted: "There are still seven days, other astronauts will come up, if I can take advantage of the present to confirm that the spacecraft is safe, and wait until they come to the lunar base can start work directly, compared to the efficiency of the expedition vehicle, we will make progress faster in person." ”

"But what if you're in danger?" Mr. Huang is also concerned about safety.

"That's why we're going." Xia Yu said: "Now let's go, even if something happens, at least we can warn the brothers who will come in seven days, if we all leave after the rotation in seven days, what will happen to those brothers when the time comes?" You also know that it is impossible for China to continuously launch rockets and send people up, think about how long you have to stay on the moon alone for so many days, if it is not for the country to urgently send us up, how long will you stay? We can't leave the danger to the brethren, they still know too little about the ship compared to us, so we have to go and explore the way first, at least make sure that the ship is safe, and then we can hand over everything to them. ”

Huang Changming was silent, he knew that what Xia Yu said was the truth, if there was a problem with the group of brothers who came up in rotation, it would not be so simple to deal with the matter, although the situation of the spaceship was not clear now, but if you want to send someone to check, this group of people is the most suitable now.

Seeing that Huang Changming stopped talking, Xia Yu knew that Huang Changming had basically been persuaded by himself, and then said: "Regarding this matter, the contact with the country will be handed over to you, I will go with the team members to sort out the equipment, and we will set off in thirty minutes, don't worry, we will be fine." ”
