Chapter 437: Possessed
"Audience friends, we astronauts will stay on the moon for no less than 24 hours, and now they have been working for more than 10 hours in a row, and they are about to enter a break, and our live broadcast on the moon is coming to an end.
Watch the CCTV news website for more information about the moon landing, and CCAV13 will broadcast the operation of the 'Black Rabbit' space station around the clock.
The moon is in the sky, the light is bright, let us remember this great day together......"
Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin finally waved their hands at the camera, and then went back to sleep in the landing module...... Of course not, while they do need to rest, there is still a lot to be done.
Dawning 3 is expected to spend between 24 and 48 hours on the moon, and if nothing happens, it will break the Apollo 17 mission's record of 22 hours, making it the longest human mission to stay on the moon.
After confirming that the cameras and broadcast relay equipment were turned off, they first had to release the long-held 14th.
14 They did not look much different from them in appearance, except that they were taller, and their limbs were not expanded by air pressure, and they were a little thinner.
No sooner had he lowered it from the bulkhead than 14 jumped straight through the hatch.
The move startled the two, but soon proved that their fears were unwarranted,14 reading the explorer's attitude data, and was much more familiar with the gravitational environment of the moon than they were.
Compared to the two astronauts, whose movements are slowed down, 14 is nimble like a gibbon in the forest.
But soon, the robot's movements became sluggish and sluggish.
"Wow, the details of this VR are so rich, almost indistinguishable from the naked eye."
"Lao Ding? (! )”
Ding Jihua has been doing the voyeur party for several hours, and now he finally has the opportunity to manipulate 14.
He was floating in the command module, wearing a hard vest attached to a metal pole around his waist to control the position of the space, and wearing sensory VR equipment on his head and limbs.
From a distance of less than 100 kilometers, the delay is actually acceptable, especially in the low gravity environment of the moon.
"What am I now? Remote moon landing? ”
The two astronauts and a robot studied each other for several minutes, Zhang Zhiguang looked at the 14 who was possessed by Ding Jihua, and he believed it if it was really Lao Ding.
"Okay, okay, as soon as Lao Ding comes, we can also have a branch here, and we can have the first meeting on the moon."
Zhang Zhiguang made a little joke, and then the three of them took advantage of the time before the break to continue working, and now the main thing is to move the equipment out and prepare for the next experiment out of the cabin.
With Ding Jihua joining, it is much easier to work, especially the body of 14 does not need to rest and is not afraid of injury, and it is more free to move.
It didn't take much time, it was all done in just over 20 minutes.
The space agency is going to let the astronauts go to rest at 23 o'clock, and the equipment and tests that have been moved out will be done tomorrow, and the rest of the time will be used for terrain exploration, putting down the lunar rover and happily staking for Guanghangong 1, and seeing what special things need attention to in their own territory.
The lander and the explorer-9 have a total of two lunar rovers, which can drive for more than an hour in the desert of the moon.
Before the free activity, Zhang Zhiguang looked at the time display on the HUD and suddenly remembered something.
It's already 21:39, Artemis II should have landed, right?
Why there has been no news on the ground, you should tell us about it.
"Command center, has Artemi II landed?"
"This is the ground, we don't have accurate information yet, over."
"Didn't they land?"
"The latest news from NACA is that the Artemis II moon landing operation has been suspended for unknown reasons, and nothing has been said otherwise, and the image of the 'Blue Moon' is no longer visible to the outside world;
However, our satellites did not capture their landing in the intended area, and the situation is not yet clear, so please carry out the mission as originally planned. ”
Of course, there is no reason on the ground to take the initiative to let its own astronauts take risks for the Yankees, this is the moon, and if you don't pay attention, you can't come back.
Moreover, now that NACA has kept the news tightly in the hands of the outside world, it is not right to act rashly, and it is still necessary to wait for them to voluntarily disclose more information.
The eleven countries that attended the Huayin meeting were the first to know that Artemis was wrong, a little more than NACA announced, but that's about it.
Lucia was the first to call the hotline and asked John if he was in trouble and that they could organize a rescue, but the latter simply indifferently said that NACA was being dealt with and was not in mortal danger.
Domestic...... It had already been vaguely reminded once before the launch, so now the official is in a state of "not knowing", as long as NACA does not speak, there is no such thing.
However, from the moment of a little free hands, all the spacecraft in lunar orbit with the ability to detect are desperately looking for traces of Artemis II, heat sources, radios, there is always a way.
Artemis 2 is scheduled to land 35 kilometers away from Dawn 3, and the satellite has long been seen with a video camera, and no trace of land has been found.
Therefore, the ground guess is that it is most likely to be re-orbited, and there is a high probability that there will be a serious failure in the communication, as long as there are no dead people.
……
"They're not there."
Zhang Zhiguang shook his head, 35 kilometers is not far away for them, as long as you bring an external power supply to the lunar rover, you can go over and take a look for more than half an hour, and he still wants to say hello.
Ding Jihua: "Why don't you take 14 on a run?" ”
"Forget it, the satellites have found no traces of landing, they should be in the sky."
Zhang Zhiguang gave up this idea, and instead planned the route on the HUD, and installed the gesture recognition provided by Huawei on the mask, which is very convenient to use and can be used as holographic navigation.
The Dawning-2 rover was also in good condition, so he decided to move the two rovers separately to conduct a topographic survey of the surrounding area of about 30 square kilometers with a radius of three kilometers, a distance that would allow the rover to walk back on its own even if it broke down.
He and Fang Lin were in the first team, Ding Jihua and Explorer 9 were in the first team.
With some simple detection equipment and beacons installed, the two lunar rovers set off in opposite directions.
Although it was an astronaut driving, Zhang Zhiguang still controlled the speed of the car to about 20 kilometers, and the soil of the moon was far less solid than the ground due to gravity, and it might suddenly fall into a pit.
At present, the area of investigation is basically the largest plain near the impact crater, and no matter how big it is, you can only enter the impact crater, but the terrain there is not conducive to transporting materials, so we can only give up for the time being.
In fact, the construction scale of the No. 1 base of Guanghan Palace is relatively limited, and the No. 2 base of Guanghan Palace is really to invest a huge amount of money.
And the location of the latter is where Xinyuan plans to open the mine.
