(Add more 5/10 for the alliance leader Starflame Boss, there are still five more left, it's fast (ω))

In the lunar sky, above the polar launch orbit of the South Pole, a silver-white space shuttle quickly skimmed the deep sky.

Under the command of the space center, Xinghai has successfully completed its orbit adjustment and successfully entered the launch orbit.

In the cockpit, Zhai Zhigang stared at the moon in the distance, at this point in time, the moon was just behind the earth, and most of the sunlight was blocked.

The deep night sky is like a bottomless abyss, as if it can swallow everything.

However, this scene is not uncommon for them to go to outer space for space missions all year round.

Retracting his gaze and glancing at the time on the console, he reached out and pressed it on the helmet of the spacesuit to communicate with the ground command center.

"Call the ground command center, this is the Xinghai, we will arrive over the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon in fifteen minutes, and request a lunar rescue operation."

After a brief delay, the voice of the ground command center was heard in the headset.

"Ground command center received, approved rescue operation, please pay attention to your own safety, I wish you all the best!"

"Star Ocean received!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhai Zhigang unfastened the safety buckle on the spacesuit, the whole person floated, looked at Liu Yang who was sitting in the pilot's seat, and said, "Liu Yang, the task of piloting the Xinghai will be handed over to you." ”

Unlike the previous moon landing for scientific research, this time they landed on the moon for rescue.

Although the damage information of the Artemis lunar module was obtained from NASA, it was only data recorded by the internal equipment, and the specific damage to the outside of the lunar module is not known for the time being.

So this time the moon rescue, I don't have to do some physical work, for the sake of insurance, it was he and Chen Dong who carried out the rescue mission.

After all, it is an undeniable fact that men are indeed superior to women in terms of physical strength.

In addition, taking into account some other circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the two males will also be higher.

Although the intention of harming others is indispensable, the heart of guarding against others is also indispensable.

In the driver's seat, Liu Yang nodded and replied with a serious face: "Well, I'm waiting for you to come back in the moon, everything goes well!" ”

"Of course!"

Zhai Zhigang grinned, stretched out his right hand and bumped fists with his two teammates, and said with a smile: "Just to fulfill my wish to go to the moon." ”

This manned lunar landing project, if it weren't for the fact that Mi Guoyan accidentally tossed these things, he would not have planned to land on the moon.

I thought that I would have to wait at least until the next manned moon landing on the planet under my feet, but this regret was also made up.

I have to say, fate is really wonderful.

And more importantly, if it weren't for the fact that Xinghai had carried two sets of lunar modules just in case, this rescue operation would not have been their turn to carry out.

After all, with the current level of science and technology, the lunar module will be discarded after being used once, and it is a one-time product.

As a result, no one expected that they didn't use the spare lunar module themselves, but instead supported it to the Mi Guoyan.

It's really a trick.

A quarter of an hour was not a long time, and the silver-white sea of stars was still rapidly skimming the lunar sky, and after a short voyage and orbit adjustment, the star sea had reached the sky above the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon.

As the hatch opened, a silver-white oval-cylindrical lunar lander identical to the previously used Lanyue separated from Xinghai and fell towards the lunar surface.

After a short period of weightlessness, with the slow speed of the propulsion engine, Lanyue 2 has reached the ground.

"Whew, is this there?"

The hatch of the lunar module was successfully opened, and in a cloud of moon dust, Zhai Zhigang held the gangway with his hand and looked at a desolate moon.

Behind him, Chen Dong's smiling voice came from inside the spacesuit: "What Academician Xu designed is reliable, and it is much better than the Artemis of the Mi Guoyan." ”

Hearing this, Zhai Zhigang couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, you don't look at other people's skills, can NASA compare with those people in the United States?" ”

After a pause, he walked out of the lunar module with the gangway, reached out and pressed the contact button on the helmet, and said:

"This is the Lanyue-2 rescue team, and we have successfully arrived at the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon."

After a brief delay, the voice of the ground command center was heard.

"The ground command center has received that the Artemis lunar module is about two hundred meters away from your current location, and the relevant coordinate points have been sent to you, please pay attention to check, and we will guide you to the rescue."

"Roger."

In response, Zhai Zhigang raised his right hand, and at his wrist, there was a palm-sized electronic display screen.

The green dot in the center of the display is where they are, and at the edge of the screen, a red signal is flashing there: the wrecked Artemis lunar module.

Turning the direction of their bodies left and right, a small pointer arrow appeared from the green dot on the display, representing the direction they were heading.

After determining his goal, Zhai Zhigang assisted Chen Dong to prepare the tools needed for the manned lunar rover and the astronauts on the Artemis, and then the two of them walked towards the lunar module not far away.

The Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon is a huge crater, located almost entirely on the far side of the moon, with a staggering diameter of about 2,500 kilometers and a depth of 13 kilometers.

For the moon landing, no matter how accurate the coordinates are, every time the lunar module is launched, its position cannot be 100% accurate.

For every moon landing, the lunar module needs to precisely control the amount of braking, and the timing of engine ignition, braking duration and direction are very critical.

For the Xinghai, it is quite good to be able to put Lanyue 2 into a deviation distance of only about 200 meters in a temporary rescue operation.

However, for the two Zhai Zhigang and Chen Dong who were walking on the moon, the distance of 200 meters took them a full six or seven minutes to walk.

The low gravity environment on the lunar surface is extremely difficult for people walking on it to adapt to.

If the rover didn't have those tools on it, they could have traveled quickly by the rover. But in the absence of a pinpoint for the Artemis lunar module, they also needed a lunar rover to transport the tools to try to solve the problems in the past.

The distance of two hundred meters is not too far, although it took six or seven minutes to walk, but fortunately, the two of them still successfully arrived at the location of the Artemis lunar module.

On the lunar surface, two completely different devices, one on the left and one on the right, stand quietly in the lunar soil.

Zhai Zhigang and Chen Dong did not contact NASA astronauts first, but first carefully observed the lunar module and the life support unit.

The photos taken by the spacesuit were transmitted to Xinghai through Lanyue-2's special communication channel, and then transmitted back to the ground command center.

At the same time, in the Xiashu Space Base, Xu Chuan and the people waiting here also had a close look at the 'wrecked' Artemis lunar module.

It is tilted to an angle of about 35 degrees, and its posture is half-inverted and oblique on the surface of the moon.

"The landing gear was damaged, and the mechanical connection between the lander and the ascent was visibly distorted, which should have stuck the hatch and prevented the lunar module from opening properly."

Standing in front of the monitoring platform, looking at the picture transmitted back by the Xinghai, Academician Chang Huaxiang opened his mouth to analyze.

With his eyes, observing NASA's Artemis lunar module so closely, the external damage can naturally be confirmed at a glance.

"In addition, judging from the upper and lower connections of the Artemis lunar module, they used a compression double sealed connection. Compared to the explosive bolts we use, this structure has a higher load-bearing capacity and can also withstand greater pressure. But correspondingly, its structure is more complex, and at present, there is a risk of stuck."

A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the back.

For them, the crash of NASA's Artemis lunar module was not only an accident, but also a wake-up call in their hearts, reminding everyone that "space cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness."

Of course, they can also learn a lesson from this accident and further improve the management and technical level of the space organization, so as to avoid making similar mistakes in the future and avoiding similar accidents in the future.

On the side, Xu Chuan nodded and said, "It's not just the equipment itself, but their landing point seems to be problematic." I took a closer look, and it seemed that one section of the damaged landing gear had been sunk into the lunar soil in its entirety. Judging from this situation, they are really unlucky, and the landing point is not so flat. ”

Compared with the analysis of aerospace technology, his attention is more focused on the surrounding environment.

After all, he is not a professional astronaut, and he can't analyze anything at the level of a half-spacecraft.

At the same time, on the other side, far away on the moon at 380,000 kilometers.

After relaying back the complete records of the external situation of NASA's Artemis lunar module and life support unit, Zhai Zhigang reached out and pressed the button on the spacesuit to connect the communication to the NASA channel.

"NASA friends, are you all right?"
