Chapter 427: Leaked
"Victor, how's it going?"
"Right now, I'll be able to handle it in no time."
Outside the Blue Moon lander, Victor, a black man, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy dismantled the lander's casing in search of leaky pipes, while Wiseman inspected electrical systems and sensors inside.
Truth be told, the leak on the outside wasn't too bad, and Glover only had to remove one aluminum plate to find the source of the leak: it was a one-way valve with aging flexible parts inside, so the liquid oxygen leaked out.
The repair was very simple, just plugging the valves, and there were three other tanks and backup lines anyway, which had little impact on the task.
But Wiseman still felt that something was wrong, the pipe leak was a minor fault, but why did the sensor never alarm?
The self-test of the pressure sensor found no problems, but the oxygen had leaked almost completely, and it should have been triggered a long time ago.
The Blue Moon manufacturing team on the ground thought that it might be a bad wiring connection, or maybe there was something wrong with the system, so they made minor code changes and asked Wiseman to update the Blue Moon's computer.
After Victor blocked the valve, Wiseman updated the system and restarted it once.
At this point, the system finally showed that the overall storage was 25% depleted, but the leaking tank still stubbornly indicated that it was under normal pressure and was still full.
He brought the problem to the ground again, and Houston responded that it was almost certain that the sensor had also failed, but there was no need to worry too much.
All other sensors are normal, and all oxygen has been drained from the leaking tank, even if the sensor error does not make a difference.
Victor, who had been working outside the cabin for two hours, had already begun to put the aluminum plate back, he had been working intensely for seven hours, and he desperately needed to rest.
"Koch, Koch, what time is it?"
"At 13:55, we still have time, let's go and rest, Jeremy and I will go for a self-test."
Christina Koch helped Glover remove his helmet, and the latter shrank straight into the corner of the command bay and quickly fell asleep.
……
"Quick, quick, the moon landing is about to begin."
At the Grand Presidential Palace, Pio and FIB agents sweat profusely as they debug the "Village-to-Village" wireless satellite TV set-top box.
Pio stared at the progress bar on the TV, and when the signal strength exceeded 80%, the agent froze like a soldier stepping on a landmine in the TV series, and then the others quickly fixed the receiver of the satellite dish with bricks, car keys, and water cups, and then they could watch the live broadcast of the CGTV international station of Zhongxing 9 on the moon.
Pio wiped the sweat from his head and complained with some dissatisfaction:
"Why not use the Matrix and Latitude satellite network receivers? You can also watch live broadcasts in real time, and the antenna can find satellite signals by itself. ”
"Your Excellency, a satellite network receiver is easy to locate, but a TV broadcast signal is not."
FIB agents are also a little helpless, watching the live broadcast of Dawning 3 is actually very simple, CGTV opened the official live broadcast on YouTube, but because the number of visits is too high, it is always stuck, and John is very dissatisfied.
If you don't want to get stuck, then there is only a TV signal, and FIB doesn't know where to find a new set of village pass set-top boxes plus antennas, and set up antennas on the lawn of the presidential palace.
Piot had only moved the line into the house at this time, and John, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, and Chief of Staff Kelly were already sitting here, and he hurried to find his place to sit down.
"The live broadcast of Dawning 3 has begun, how long will it be before we go?"
John waited for the live show to open and asked Mattis dissatisfied.
"I've been on the phone with Director Claire, Artemis II has just finished repairing the problem, and is inspecting the lander, which will be completed in an hour and a half, and the live broadcast will start at 6 a.m."
"6 o'clock?"
John frowned and took another sip of coffee, it was only four o'clock, and when he finished watching the Aurora 3 moon landing, would he still have the energy to watch Artemis II?
Oh no, the moon landing process took at least four or five hours, so he had to tune in to the Artemis 2 landing mission before he finished watching Dawn 3?
Pio hurriedly said flatteringly: "Why don't we send a tweet and say that the landing of Aurora 3 in the early hours of the morning is inhumane, and Artemis 2 chose to land in the morning to let the people rest a little more?" ”
Seeing that John didn't pay attention, Kelly and Matisse glanced at each other, knowing that Pio and the fart worm were afraid that they wouldn't be here for long, and after actually taking over the world's number one country, John had realized that it was useless to be a villain who was incapable and could only flatter.
And he also seems ready to launch an investigation into the army's logistics system, requiring a more powerful assistant.
Who will be the next Secretary of State? This question is as important as the moon landing.
In the office with different thoughts, the prelude of Huaguo Aerospace's eternal classic background music "PositiveOutlook" sounded, and several people hurriedly focused their attention on the TV screen.
……
At 14 o'clock in the afternoon, this is basically the time when people have taken a lunch break or prepare for work, and today is still Tuesday, so it stands to reason that work is still very busy.
However, at this time, in large and small cities in China, it can be clearly found that the traffic volume is much less than usual, and the number of pedestrians on the road has decreased sharply.
Since 9 o'clock in the morning, the Aviation Development Commission officially confirmed the time of the moon landing, and people across the country are trying to find ways to squeeze out time not to miss the live broadcast of the moon landing.
The solution to the problem is very simple, and now the country has basically popularized the education network TV terminal, and directly organize students to watch it at school - I have to say that July 4 is a good time, some schools have already had summer vacation, and the teaching tasks of the schools that are still in class are not heavy, and no one disobeys the order of the Ministry of Education.
Basically, the state-owned enterprises that are directly under control will put aside the work at hand for the time being, and some organizations will watch it collectively.
Of course, there are many companies that will arrange a half-day holiday, or reduce the workload: there are basically local public security or municipal people in various places to publicize, and at this time, there is no point to indicate that it will be poked in the backbone.
In addition to this, advertising screens that can be seen in public places have now been turned into live broadcasts on CCAV, so it can be said that even if you don't have a TV or mobile phone, you can always find a place to watch them.
Some of the above measures were proposed by Lin Ju recently, and they will more or less increase the number of simultaneous viewers, the reason is to boost national confidence and build national self-confidence.
The part that Xinyuan can directly intervene in is better, of course, the base must be watched by all employees, and the suppliers who have a cooperative relationship directly with the base must also cooperate, after all, Xinyuan has also made great efforts in the Dawning Plan.
Of course, these actions are also a little related to the system, when the two rockets are launched one after another, it indicates that they have entered a new node of the space race, and the final reward will definitely be linked to popularity, so you must prepare in advance.
