Chapter 346: Meeting
While Boeing and Rockdyne were wrestling, Isis 1 was making its way firmly toward the Coombe impact crater.
Isis-1 was changed from a Mars rover to a lunar rover in a short time, and although the launch process went smoothly, there was still a phenomenon of adaptation.
First of all, there is the most troublesome temperature problem, Isis 1 is not afraid of freezing, and the low temperatures of the Moon and Mars are within its initial tolerance range, so it is a big deal to sleep.
However, the high temperature is a bit troublesome, the lunar day is 28 days, and the 14 days are the lunar days to receive direct irradiation of solar radiation without any attenuation, which can directly exceed 100 degrees.
At this temperature, the solar panels cannot work normally, so the suitable working time of the detector is the time period when the temperature is acceptable at the "dawn" and "dusk" when the moon and night alternate, and it is too cold to do it, and it is not good to be too hot.
The Explorer relies on its own nimble mobility and huge battery reserves to extend the working hours of moonlit nights, which is not the case with Isis I.
Isotope batteries only have enough power to keep the electronic components active, so every bit of time that can be used for solar energy should be cherished.
The JPL team carefully calculated the right window of activity, but the Isis 1 was moving fast enough and was now less than five kilometres away from the Qom crater.
Isis 1 also did several sample drills in a row, and although it did not drill actual ice, it also found ice scattered under the lunar soil, and JPL speculated that it may have been left behind by an ice meteorite impact, or maybe the ice when the moon was formed came from a huge ice meteorite?
NACA's lunar geologists didn't have to go to the Qom crater and CASA to grab the ground, and there was a lot of shallow ice in the outer ring of the crater where there was little activity of the explorer robots, and it was just a little detour.
When the time comes, let Isis "occupy a point" here, and CASA will not let the explorers drag Isis 1 to a place where there is no sun and "freeze to death".
With the shift from Mars to the Moon, Isis 1 was able to send back stable images instead of static images, which was much more comfortable to maneuver despite the delay.
Scott is now the pilot of Curiosity and Isis I, monitoring the movement of the probes, which is a tedious but concentrating process, Isis I is now at maximum speed, and it would be troublesome to get stuck in a pit, but staring at the empty and barren surface of the moon is really boring.
But Isis I soon ran out of boredom.
To the left of its direction, in the shadows of the crater, Explorer VII is speeding at 30 km/h in the Lu 01.
Its high-speed processing chip nimbly controls the rover's orbit to run over the debris-of-pieces of lunar soil like an indulgent horse, which is thrown high backwards by rubber wheels and flies high in low gravity like a rushing white tornado.
It is not aimless, as two Laurel resource exploration satellites passing by are tracking the signals sent by the LRO to Isis 1 in real time, and then providing navigation to Explorer 7 via simple radio triangulation for the latter to welcome guests from afar.
The error of the triangulation method is not small, but fortunately, the landing site of Isis 1 is public, and a little calculation can lock the direction of movement, and it is not difficult to find it.
Scott's eyes staring at the screen froze for a moment, then snapped back to his senses to see a blurry white shadow rapidly approaching.
"Aliens!"
The staff next to him also found out about this change and couldn't help but exclaim, and then JPL's control center was in chaos.
Scott was also numb, and the object he was approaching was shrouded in a surging white "mist", and he couldn't see what it was at all, adding a bit of mystery.
What to do, really aliens? Does NACA have a plan for extraterrestrial contact?
In the panic, the White Shadow slowly slowed down and reversed direction to line up with Isis I, which was still advancing, and the slender limbs of the "alien" and the shape of the lunar rover showing its outline were gradually visible on the screen.
……
The drizzle was misty, and the dense rain hit the surface of the hydrophobic material of the black jacket and slid down the folds.
Lin Ju clasped his hands on his thighs and bowed solemnly.
Comrade Lao Lin has moved the place, and the former cemetery was a burial, and now the urn has been brought to the cemetery.
It's cleaner and the environment is pretty good, so you don't have to be disturbed.
Of course, there is also a factor that the cemetery prohibits paper burning, so Lao Lin's photos can avoid the disaster of fire......
"Mr. Lin, it's raining heavily."
The woman's voice sounded beside her, and then the black umbrella moved to Lin Ju's head with the sound of the heel touching the ground, covering the rain that had begun to get heavier.
Lin Ju nodded without changing his face, and at the same time regretted why he didn't bring one more assistant.
The assistant brought from the base was working at the Aviation Development Commission, and two guards stood at the intersection of the cemetery's roads, with only one "staff" from the cemetery by their side.
Such a beautiful and temperamental cemetery "staff"? Or just add a WeChat through the maintenance of the cemetery?
Lin Ju took his eyes off the curve of the other party's body and walked quickly in the direction of the guard, the capital was too dangerous.
Every time I come to the capital, I can meet all kinds of women, even passers-by can see the amazing kind many times, is this woman's fate ridiculously good?
Of course not, whenever Lin Ju is in the capital, you can see young female interns who happen to come for internships in various scientific research institutions or offices, women who pick up their fathers and inadvertently bump into him, and assistants who often come to ask about work because they are not skilled in temporary secondment......
It's not that it's a role to seduce people at a glance, it's all about being a manager and working seriously, and there is no deliberate component, at most it's a variety of artificially created coincidences.
Many of them are nephews and nephews within the Aviation Development Commission, and the arrangement is actually out of spontaneous behavior from the older generation, but it still makes Lin Ju a little overwhelmed.
There is no way, most of the high-level leaders of the base have been "stable" except for Lin Ju, and a small number of them have also made progress, only the most important one cannot see any progress.
Two and a half years have passed, and now Lin Ju is twenty-five years old......
In fact, he himself doesn't just want to be single, but he has never had that kind of heart-warming feeling, and he is already in such a position.
Do you want to just go to the girlfriend of the original world line? It was just confirmed that I met not long before the crossing, although we were together out of years of loneliness, but I didn't exclude it?
Thinking about it, she ...... now Graduating from high school in two months?
Forget it, this kind of thing can't be forced, and it doesn't necessarily have a good result.
Lin Ju, who was sitting in the back seat, was cranky, and suddenly asked Lao Liu, who was not replaced by the female driver:
"Lao Liu, what do you think of the robot wife? If the robot could do your laundry, cook, and mop the floor, wouldn't you be able to stop looking for a girlfriend? ”
Lao Liu, who was in his forties, was stunned and replied:
"That's good, you don't have to look at your mother...... cough, I often watch videos on the Internet, and I'm saying that no one will get married in the future, and I've been with robots, and I save worry and effort, but at least it will take decades, right?
Besides, who has children if no one gets married? ”
Lin Ju automatically ignored the last sentence, and instead began to seriously think about his life steward plan...... That is, the second robot project.
What age are you still in traditional love?
Back pain
