Volume 1 60,000 Years of Rebirth Chapter 2 The Rift
The strong impact shook Lin Zhiliu awake.
"Scandium!"
The loud crash sound in the cabin pierced through the space helmet, and the reverberation echoed in the ears.
The feeling of exhaustion has not subsided, Lin Zhiliu struggled to open his eyes, the thirsty feeling was like death wrapping around his body, using all his strength, he shook from side to side, and his consciousness slowly began to recover.
The whole body is wet, it should be that the body is too dehydrated, the face is full of blood and scabs, and the feeling of stiffness is slowly receding.
"The body is functioning well, and there are no external injuries." Lin Zhiliu silently made an assessment in his heart, thinking that Chang Xi probably landed smoothly.
Stabilizing his mind, Lin Zhiliu looked at the watch clock on his left cuff.
Showing 2:44:17.
This is the countdown he set when he controls the Chang Xi to start breaking away from the mothership, and it is also the execution time of the "Luna Project".
Compared with the estimated time, the landing module landed 2 minutes early, and it is not known whether it will reach the predetermined position.
Lin Zhiliu slowly moved away, untied the rope, and checked the spacesuit again.
"The A1 and A2 parts are connected completely, without gaps... The feeding system is good, the auxiliary light source is normal, the backup oxygen is normal, the power supply system is normal..."
After making sure that the spacesuit was in good condition, Lin Zhiliu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the mission plan, the time is tight, and it is fortunate that it can save time to change spacesuits.
A brief check of the operating system of the main control room showed that the communication equipment, water source equipment, and exchange system were seriously damaged, and the ignition system and energy center were controlled by robots, and the rest of the equipment was unknown.
The odds of returning home are unknown, but there is hope.
Predictable.
The fact that the landing capsule was able to land smoothly in such difficult conditions without disintegrating has greatly exceeded the team's expectations, and there is nothing to complain about.
The gravitational pull of the Moon is much smaller than that of the Earth, but Lin Zhiliu feels very adapted. He has been living on Earth with such gravity training for three months now.
I opened the mask, took out the water bag, took two sips, and adjusted my condition.
Lin Zhiliu stepped out three meters in one step and reached the front of the hatch.
The silver-white metal hatch reflected a handsome figure, wrapped in a spacesuit, revealing an angular face, sword eyebrows, a straight nose, and warm lips.
"What a handsome man." Lin Zhiliu smiled at the figure.
The next action is unpredictable, and I hope this is not the last time I look in the mirror.
Take a deep breath, cover your mask, hold the door knob with both hands, and turn it firmly.
The hatch slowly opened with the knob, and Lin Zhiliu felt a slight cold. Walking to the hatch and jumping lightly, Lin Zhiliu easily flew up a few meters.
Looking up at the sky, the stars in the sky exude a magnificent and mysterious light, large and small, dotted with stars, and the Milky Way is like a white jade belt hanging high above the head.
The colorful halo is dazzling.
Billions of bright stars shine directly on the surface of the moon, making this gray world smear with layers of brilliant brilliance.
It makes people fascinated, and can't help but sigh at the infinity and beauty of the starry sky.
Slowly on the Falling Moon Rock, Lin Zhiliu pulled himself back from his yearning for the starry sky and carefully examined the nearby terrain.
Compare it carefully and repeatedly with the memories in your mind, and then look up at the starry sky and compare the approximate location of the constellations.
Lin Zhiliu knew his general location.
The Changxi landed successfully and arrived at the predetermined location!
Start the second phase of the mission.
Lin Zhiliu clarified the good direction and looked at the thermometer, which is now -40 degrees.
The temperature on the surface of the moon will drop to -80 degrees in 2 and a half hours, after which the spacesuit will not be enough to maintain body temperature.
According to the plan, he had to complete the task within the specified time and return to the landing capsule.
Otherwise, you can only ask for more blessings.
The estimated journey time is 30 minutes, 60 minutes round trip, 55 minutes for the second phase of the mission, and 30 minutes for the third stage, for a total of 2 hours and 25 minutes.
There is 2:35:20 left.
If you move quickly, you can even bring some souvenirs home. Thinking of this, Lin Zhiliu was in a cheerful mood and began to jump in the expected direction.
Looking at the gray lunar soil, the bright starry sky, the ups and downs, Lin Zhiliu felt like a happy rabbit, staggering to find his Chang'e.
No, you have to be serious about your tasks.
Lin Zhiliu quickly stopped the idea of the second middle school in his mind to transform.
He sighed, thinking that he was still too young.
A little leisurely and began to be handsome again.
Perhaps I chose myself to participate in this mission because I was young enough and had good physical fitness, not because I was smart and handsome.
Sigh.
I wonder if the inside news will be after returning to the base - shock! A man in Huaxia became the first person to land on the moon because of his developed limbs and simple mind!
Shake your head and shake the strange thought away.
Lin Zhiliu decided to continue to be a happy rabbit, rising and falling happily on the surface of the moon, stepping over one moon after another.
The joyful thoughts dispelled the coldness a little, and the road ahead was much lighter.
……
He looked at the time on the clock, and then at the huge moon valley in front of him. Lin Zhiliu understood that he was about to reach his destination.
Converge the compelling temperament in your heart.
If you look around, you can see a tall gray-white rock cliff on the left and right, and a huge black rift in the middle.
To be precise, it can't be called a rift.
It should be called a cave because the top of this huge rift valley seems to be connected.
It's just that the cave is too tall and too wide, allowing the starlight to shine hundreds of meters away, so it looks more like a rift.
There is no accurate data about this rift in the memories of Lin Zhiliu.
From his point of view, the rift valley was three or four hundred meters wide, and perhaps seven or eight hundred meters high, perhaps higher.
As for the depth, looking inward, beyond the extreme of starlight, there is still endless darkness.
The mission objective is in the depths of this great rift.
Lin Zhiliu quickly went through the task plan in his mind, briefly checked the equipment on his body, quickly planned the time, proofread the pointing needle, turned on the light source system, and jumped towards the center of the rift.
The lunar soil here is brown and black, and the beige spotlights shine on it to appear an eerie orange-black, and the lunar soil here is also flatter than the outside.
It may be the peculiarity of the earth's crustal movement, Lin Zhiliu didn't think much about it, looked at the orange and black moon surface, and continued to move forward in the expected direction.
Under the guidance of the pointing needle, Lin Zhiliu walked about 5,000 meters in the rift valley, the starlight was long gone, and it was pitch black all around.
The light source is scattered nearly 100 meters away, and the clear and effective illumination distance is only 30 meters.
Lin Zhiliu didn't dare to jump too hard, afraid that he might fly too far beyond the known range, and also worried that he would waste time by staying in the air for too long.
I looked at the clock again, 2:07:37.
A simple search device consisting of a large palm disc and a metal ball the size of a soybean was taken out.
The principle of the search device is very simple, as long as the disc is placed horizontally, the metal sphere in it will stop in the most central position. As long as there are more metal balls of the same material in the vicinity of 500 meters, the balls will be oriented towards their positions.
Lin Zhiliu took out the matching small tripod, squatted down and lay flat on the orange-black lunar soil in front of him, carefully adjusted the spacing of the brackets, and then used the back of the disc to correct the level.
Slowly align the disc and carefully place the metal ball in the center of the disc.
The ball shook slightly in the disc a few times before finally coming to a stop a little upper-left in the center of the disc.
Lin Zhiliu looked at the direction and quickly put away the disc. Walk quickly in the direction.
The device is simple and easy to use.
After walking more than 200 meters, Lin Zhiliu saw the target object - a rover - under the beige light.
The car is rectangular as a whole, about 1.5 meters long, about 1 meter wide and high, divided into two sections, left and right two wide tracks, like a short and low robot.
The body is golden yellow, and without the solar installation of the traditional Jade Rabbit, it looks clumsy and cute.
This is the Yutu-5 vehicle launched by Chang'e-6 when it landed on the back of the moon seven years ago.
However, shortly after Chang'e-6 returned to lunar orbit, Yutu-5, which was expected to last 60 days, lost contact.
The reason for this mission was that Yutu 5 suddenly sent back several sets of data three months ago.
The content of the data showed was shocking, and the commander-in-chief immediately reported to the leader, and the leader immediately issued a decision half a day later.
As a result, the manned lunar mission, which is expected to start in 2030, will start a year ahead of schedule, and the lunar landing will also become a fixed-point landing on the far side of the moon.
This is a huge challenge for launch vehicles, spacecraft, landing capsules, and astronauts, and the difficulty increases exponentially.
Lin Zhiliu was also ordered in this situation, and after three months of emergency training, he became the executive of the "Luna Project".
The car stood there in a daze, without moving.
After approaching quickly, Lin Zhiliu first reached out and patted the head of the car, and waited for a few seconds, but unfortunately, this trick did not work.
Then, according to the instructions of the engineer before the sky, the overall structure of the car was carefully observed, and it was confirmed that all parts were intact and the power signal light was off.
Lin Zhiliu then went around to the back of the small body, turned off the power switch and the action switch, and then opened a buckle to pull up the shutter on the side of the body.
Below the shutter is the second power center of the trolley, where a row of power boards lies.
Unplug two of them, then insert the power strip you have brought on your body into them, buckle the blinds in the original step, and turn on the power switch.
Seeing that the power signal light was on, Lin Zhiliu took out a pole and inserted it on the top of the car, took out the tripod again, put it together, and stuck the bottom disc of the pole.
Finally, the top of the pole was pulled out one after another, and an antenna appeared on the top of the car, looking at the car and a lot cuter, I nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Zhiliu thought, this can also be used to the best of its ability, it is really rare for that group of engineers to get the hang of it, but they don't understand why they didn't make an anti-theft device for the car, what to do if such a cute car is lost on the moon.
Turn on the action switch of the car, the car swings a few times, twists its butt and walks out.
Clapping his hands contentedly, he raised the ash that didn't exist.
Lin Zhiliu glanced at the time, 01:49:00.
It's smooth, just the simplest battery failure.
The second phase of the mission is complete.
