Ground command center.

It's 10:40 p.m., it's late at night, but it's still brightly lit.

They were remotely connecting with experts from the Fifth Research Institute in Beijing to discuss the lander.

Once it is confirmed that the two astronauts are still alive, they will have to find a way to bring them back from the moon, or at least to the space station.

Now there is no supply for the moon on Earth, there are enough rockets, but there are no landers and supplies.

The "Full Moon" ascender is designed to accommodate up to three people, and the Tianmu-2 mission in August will see two Chinese astronauts and one Abel astronaut land on the moon.

What if it's four? According to the usual redundancy design of spacecraft, it should be sufficient, but some quality still needs to be sacrificed.

"I definitely can't bring the lunar soil sample, and everything that can be thrown away in the cabin will be thrown away."

"The backup life support bag can be thrown away before take-off, and it can't be used anyway, and the two add up to more than 100 kilograms."

"Tools and equipment are also thrown away, and the lockers seem to be dismantling."

“……”

After a brief exchange, the Five Houses confirmed that the ascender could bring back four humans, but there was one more problem: there were only two seats.

You can't let the other two stand anywhere, the sudden change of center of gravity during takeoff is very dangerous, but the ascent really doesn't have a backup for this thing, so ...... Let's tie it to the wall like Band 14, and the space is all reserved.

In just over half an hour, a rough rescue plan was released, as long as you can fly with those two unlucky eggs, it will be much easier to return to Earth.

Now there are only two jobs left: to find them and make sure they are alive.

The two Aurora 3 astronauts worked together with 14 to rebuild a large antenna to attach to the rover and connect it with a data cable to the robot, which was about to arrive in the complex terrain area.

"This robot is really better than human."

Yun Hongjun looked at the real-time images transmitted back by 14 and nodded continuously:

"This land was found to be full of cavities before the seismic monitor, it should still be a reserved landform formed by the moon in ancient times, if there are no robots, I will definitely oppose the astronauts to go in and search, it is too dangerous."

Academician She: "That's not it, the lunar rover and talent are heavy, the lander is heavy, and I estimate that when they landed, they must not be in a normal posture, making them so embarrassed now."

Hey, Xiaolin, where did you go? ”

Lin Ju shook his phone, and then pointed up: "Make a call, I guess NACA is still desperately looking for someone, we brought back two astronauts from 380,000 kilometers away, they have to say something, don't they?" ”

"What do you want? Money? ”

"Of course not, just now I asked the commercial airline to go to the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) to apply for the international airworthiness qualification certificates of C822, C832 and C810, our such a good aircraft, we have to let the people of the world experience it."

Academician She's eyes widened, he didn't expect Lin Ju to actually hit this idea:

"If I were to give 10 billion U.S. dollars to Aramco, the impact of opening up the civil aviation market on Boeing would be too great, not to mention Aramco, the Chinese and Brazil would oppose it."

"Let's talk slowly."

Lin Ju spread his hands, anyway, he couldn't be good if he didn't pick a handful of hair from Yingchan this time.

In fact, the director also said that he applied for an unrestricted international commercial satellite launch order, as well as a leased place in Hawaii to build an ocean-going survey ship to dock at the port."

“……”

Although the ocean-going survey ship is measured as a rocket on the surface, another rocket can also be used, and it is equipped with a lot of super electronic equipment, which can search and decipher the radio and radar signal characteristics of other ships and aircraft, and it will be crazy to agree to let this kind of ship dock in Hawaii.

As for the unrestricted launch of satellites, isn't that the vigorous development of domestic private aerospace to grab meat all over the world? This Ami probably won't agree.

Up to now, a total of 9 private aerospace enterprises in China have obtained the ability to launch repeatable rockets, although the engine or recovery system is purchased, but it is also a real launch capacity, just their cumulative number of launches in the first half of the year has exceeded 30 times, together with the empty fork to grab meat to eat.

……

For China, the 4th of July was a perfect day, and it was almost over, but there were many people looking up at the moon tonight.

It was still early in the afternoon, and not long after the announcement of the suspension of the lunar mission in the morning, the public was only disappointed and did not react too strongly under the government's strong control of public opinion.

NACA is still trying to find the Bird, but to no avail.

John is already preparing to practice the expression management of tomorrow's obituary, and he has a headache about how to face the people's accusations and the impeachment of Congress, and he will not be re-elected.

Just when he had a headache, the assistant sent him a document that he needed to look at.

Here's a message from ICAO Canada Headquarters and ICAO Council President Sciacchitano:

Southwest Commercial Airlines and XAP applied for international airworthiness certificates for three airliners, and they were very high-profile, asking for specific responses within a week.

The de facto controller of ICAO is, of course, the world's oldest aviation giants and important component manufacturers, most of which are in Aramco and a few in Europe, and in fact, the decision is mainly made by the presidential palace.

Of course, these three nationally produced passenger aircraft Boeing, Lockheed, etc., are deeply hated, except for C810 - this aircraft has only appeared soon and is more mysterious, the outside world first suspected that it was a fighter plane after a long time before it was recognized as a passenger aircraft, Lockheed also intends to copy it out to the rich and the government to sell, is rushing to produce PPT, although this supersonic small aircraft is very powerful, but the market is not large, and the hostility is smaller.

Still, John wondered why they were submitting an application for a certificate of airworthiness now, which was not at all their style, and ICAO would certainly not agree.

It had only been more than an hour since the application for the merchant airline was submitted, and John thought about throwing it aside, so he simply ignored it.

4 p.m. Central Time, 2 a.m. Beijing time on July 5.

In the sleeping eastern hemisphere, the Aviation Development Commission issued an explosive news, taking the lead in setting off a storm of public opinion in the western hemisphere.

John saw the news early on, because he had a habit of swiping Twitter and YouTube, unlike his predecessor who didn't use a smartphone at all.

The intelligent algorithm gave him the news released by CGTV YouTube 3 minutes ago, but the number of views has exceeded 10,000.

The caption reads: "Dawning 3 Command Module Captures Artemis 2 Lander Wreckage"

The cover is a photo of the moon with a red circle drawn on it, which directly indicates to the user what the video is about.

John hurriedly clicked in, and the video was apparently released for only one minute on an interim basis, and it was quickly watched.

It was a photo taken by Ding Jihua when he passed through the impact crater at an altitude of 70 kilometers, at this time the sunlight was about to disappear and most of the lunar surface was plunged into darkness, but after the high exposure, it was still possible to make out the difference from the previous photo.

I saw a small dot of a distinctly different color in the circle area and a light-colored mark that could be seen when zoomed in, which was not there five hours ago.

The last sentence of the news was: "The two astronauts of Dawning 3 also found a distress signal from HLS and are organizing a search operation, please pay close attention to this news." ”

John only felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

The meal arrived at the family
