How to rescue an astronaut trapped in a pit?

In fact, the solution is very simple, a rope is enough.

Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, had been taking a half-hour rotation to rest for the past few hours to ensure their physical strength, and all the tools they could use were placed on the lunar rover and fully charged, and they went out of the capsule and prepared to set off 10 minutes after receiving the order.

Aurora 3 has a 15-meter extravehicular harness on it, and it will be no problem to tow two astronauts up, but the trouble is to rescue Victor from under the rubble.

In the end, this task was given to Explorer 9, and Zhang Zhiguang decided to let it go down to cut the gravel first, and if it didn't work, go down by himself.

The straight-line distance from the Dawning-3 landing site to the "Blue Moon" crash site is only 7 kilometers, and the past route is about 15 kilometers, and the lunar rover can reach it in half an hour.

However, because it was driving at night, Zhang Zhiguang still controlled the speed, and 20 minutes later it converged with 14 on the edge of the hill.

The two lunar rovers followed a proven safe route one after the other, and soon arrived at the place.

Zhang Zhiguang saw the terrible traces produced by the "Blue Moon" after its forced landing, especially the cave that was smashed through, with a diameter of at least ten meters, which looked like the remains of a tunnel in ancient times.

Fang Lin carefully walked to the edge of the cave with the ultra-bright flashlight transformed by the lander searchlight, turned on the light and shone inward, and the strong light illuminated the space below as bright as day.

Koch and Victor, who were recovering their strength to cooperate with the rescue, were taken aback, but immediately understood that rescue was really coming.

"Ami astronauts, are you all right?"

With an extremely clichéd "how are you" outlet, Victor was on the verge of tears.

"Crab crab, wo ai zhongguo."

“…… Thank you. ”

Zhang Zhiguang carefully observed the environment below through the light, and found that the ground itself should be relatively weak, and the place where he was standing was still very thick, and it should not collapse again.

The ground, which watched their live footage alone, finally got a completely clear picture of the accident scene, and handed over a part of the screened to the joint fingers.

Claire finally saw the two astronauts completely, and Victor was crushed by the rubble with only his head exposed, but he still stubbornly stretched out his finger and made an OK gesture.

He immediately asked to speak with the two astronauts, and Academician She agreed to the proposal, thinking that the rescue environment was still being surveyed and prepared.

The Dawning-3 radio communication channel was briefly connected to the joint network.

"Victor, Christina, I'm Claire Borden, how are you doing?"

Koch: "I'm fine, I'm a little overdrawn, but Victor ......"

"Your Excellency, the first thing I wish to do when I come back is to kick Jeff Bezos in the ass."

“……”

Victor expressed his grievances in a unique way, but then the quality of the astronauts prevailed, and he immediately began to briefly describe the current situation and the crash landing.

Claire was glad to hear that Victor had chosen to abandon most of the fuel for a forced landing after the engine had stopped once, and that if he hadn't done so and tried to re-enter orbit to make a lander, the lander would have exploded on the spot, and Victor had made the most correct decision at the most dangerous time.

And the various failures of the lander are even more frightening, Claire can't imagine why there are so many problems, and any one of them is a dangerous factor that affects life and death.

After exchanging technical questions, John couldn't wait to connect with the two astronauts, and John promised them on the phone that he would bring them home safely, believing that they had completed the mission to the moon and that they were heroes of all Aramco to receive special recognition.

While they were eagerly talking on the phone, Zhang Zhiguang had already found a place to fix the safety rope and was tying the other end to Explorer 9's body.

Confirming that the rope buckle is firmly fastened, 14 walks to the camera corner and grabs the safety rope.

Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin found a safe place to stand, the geological instability here was unstable, there was no need for humans to take risks if there were robots, 14 took most of the danger for them.

Explorer 9 had to withstand only 80 kilograms of mass in one-sixth gravity, and 14 could handle it perfectly.

So in Koch's view, an oversized mechanical spider hangs from a white safety rope and falls down the wall little by little, like a real spider, and then gently hooks the remains of the "Blue Moon".

"Miss Koch, can you unbuckle your seatbelt down there and let the robot see if it can pry the stone open."

"I'll go at once!"

The call to Houston was aborted at this point, and Koch carefully climbed up and it took a few minutes to untie the safety rope, and the freed Explorer 9 quickly and nimbly crawled to the site where Victor was buried, and began to observe it with life.

Of course, this is still 14 in remote control, and it quickly finds a large rock that holds down Victor's most critical mass, and can climb out of it as long as he moves Victor away.

It transmitted the analysis of the rock focus point that was automatically judged back to the ground, and the engineers composed of the base robot development team checked that there was no problem and chose to trust the AI's judgment.

After Koch was asked to stand farther away, the explorer lifted the rock twice as heavy as himself with ease, and the crushed Victor resolutely climbed forward, and the other gravel was no longer a problem for him, and he crawled out in a few clicks.

The Joint Finger Center cheered in unison, and now the two astronauts were only one step away from escape.

At this time, Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin took the rope in their hands and walked to the top of the cave, and the latter quickly slipped behind the hill to give the credit to the human superior.

"Victor, is your strength okay? We're ready to pull you up. ”

"Of course, I'm still a brute, and women first."

Victor wanted to pat his chest, but gave up on the decision considering that the spacesuit had already failed once.

Knowing that every second was a risk, he immediately fastened Koch firmly with the safety rope, and was about to drag his hand when he realized that the explorer had already lifted Koch in a princess posture first.

"Hey, wait a minute, shouldn't you bring this little guy up, he's my big savior."

"No, just let it stay here, it's too heavy and likely to cause another risk, we still have a lot of explorers, it can explore the cave here in the future, this is a new mission."

Victor glanced at Explorer 9 in disappointment, trying to touch its large photodetector eyes, but the robot nimbly dodged it.

“……”

Koch was quickly pulled to the entrance of the cave by two astronauts, and when Fang Lin grabbed her hand and dragged her to the ground, the first female astronaut to set foot on the surface of the moon almost cried with excitement.

Her request to continue to participate in the rescue was rejected by Zhang Zhiguang, and then began to lower the rope again, and it took a few more minutes to pull Victor up.

Under the light of the searchlight, the two Ami astronauts were very dirty because of the moon dust, and Victor's life support backpack was visibly deformed to the naked eye, obviously not in good condition.

Without too many words of thanks, the best choice for the four of them now is to return to the lander as soon as possible and stay, Zhang Zhiguang simply packed up and prepared to hit the road.

He and Koch had a lunar rover, Fang Lin and Victor.

While Victor was chatting with Fang Lin with emotion, Koch suddenly raised his own question:

"Was the astronaut who first found us Fang? Why do I feel like his voice has changed so much, and I see that he seems to be thinner. ”

Zhang Zhiguang: "Huh? yes, I guess you were trapped for too long and your memories were a little confusing. ”

Koch: "No, no, no, no, his mask has changed, and the searchlight on his chest is gone. ”

Zhang Zhiguang: "This was brought to you at that time, I searched separately from him, and he found you first." ”

Fang Lin: "Are you talking about me?" Miss Koch, you were still shining a lamp on me at that time, and you almost shook my eyes. ”

Koch: "But then I saw that your arms and torso were much thinner than they are now. ”

Fang Lin: "That's because of the light, and you are too tired and need to rest, so you don't have to chat when driving, the driving is not standardized, and your relatives are in tears." ”

“……”

Koch had to put aside her doubts for a while, in fact, because she was still very nervous, so she was a little scared.

However, in her memory, although Fang Lin's voice is also young, the accent really doesn't match, is it really her vague memory? It's not impossible.

Perhaps he really needed to rest, and Koch did feel the drowsiness of the tide, and finally looked back at the crash.

Then she made eye contact with 14, who had risen from behind the hill and was about to drag the spider up.

14, with extremely keen senses, immediately rolled backwards and dodged, but Koch saw the familiar green glow, and the active infrared headlights were now off.

Koch was almost certain that it was "him," and she would not be mistaken, the lanky white, silhouette faintly illuminated by the green glow.

However, "he" is fleeting, and the two Huaguo astronauts are in the car one after the other, and it is impossible for Dawn 3 to sneak three people to the moon, so who is the fifth "person" on the moon?

Why did Fang Lin admit that he was another person, why was "he" willing to save himself, and why didn't anyone see the flaw?

She suddenly remembered the Apollo 11 mission, but Buzz Aldrin was the first person scheduled to get out of the capsule.

At that time, in fact, an important task of the Apollo Project was to verify the existence of God by the Congregation and the Holy See, and Buzz prepared the sacrament (a ritual) in the lunar module, and planned to read the Bible to the world, and later the silver wine cup used in his communion became a treasure of the Congregation.

Could it be ......

Koch would never believe he was seeing a hallucination, and with only two astronauts on Aurora 3, the possible outcome was chilling.

If you think about it carefully, there were a lot of doubts at that time, that "person" was wearing a traditional spacesuit in the style of Dawn 3, so why did the limbs not swell up due to air pressure but looked wrinkled? This simply does not make sense.

Why can they be found in extremely discreet potholes where communications are badly disrupted? And it's still late at night, and even the earth is troublesome.

"He" also spoke in a cold and indifferent way, giving people the feeling that they were far away and didn't seem to want to communicate, but Fang Lin didn't seem to be such a person.

And there's more...... After becoming suspicious, Koch immediately thought of countless doubts, and his heart became more and more afraid.

There are only two answers: theology and aliens.

But it can also control the minds of astronauts and even people on Earth to collectively tamper with memories......

Koch is now desperately trying to escape from the moon and even has a fear of the moon.

Even the old Internet rumors of the Third Reich fleeing to the moon to establish a secret base began to ferment in her mind, and she felt that she must have encountered the supernatural.

Zhang Zhiguang didn't know what terrible things Koch on the right was thinking, and he didn't know that a good astronaut was hesitating to switch to theism or alien surveillance.
