"That's what it's called a spaceship!"

Deng Lei touched the console of the Nine Chapters with satisfaction, compared to the Nine Chapters of the Storm, it is like the future of science fiction, sitting in it is like traveling into a science fiction movie, and the sense of science and technology is so rich that it is suffocating.

The wheelhouse of the Chapter 9 is completely different from that of traditional spacecraft, with a very novel "floating" design.

The seats in the cockpit are independent and capable of traction and movement, and the four main control panels rely on robotic arms to follow the driver and adapt to attitude changes in coordination with the seats.

For example, when the Jiuzhang number converts vertical and horizontal attitudes, their cooperation can keep the driver's face facing a certain direction, which greatly facilitates the driver's vision and control.

This set is also ported from the XN90, but the latter design is more radical, the integration and freedom are much higher, and it even supports the complete abandonment of the floating display of the console, and the base has just made a chip with enough computing power.

The other three astronauts were also very excited, especially after experiencing Dawn 1, and the difference in experience was even more obvious.

"This spaceship is good everywhere, but this movement is a bit big, bigger than a nuclear engine."

It was Liu Ming who spoke, he participated in the Tianmu-1 operation around the moon, and remembered that when the three nuclear engines were working, it was only a slight hum that was easy to ignore, on the contrary, when the two engines of the Jiuzhang were working at full strength, they were less than the rocket launch.

"That's for sure, the Nine Chapters don't have such extravagant sound insulation measures, we are working for the company now, and it is more important to decorate the mine."

"Shhh...... United Mining doesn't seem to be a state-owned enterprise, right? I'm going, I'm really a black-hearted capitalist. ”

“……”

The atmosphere of the advance operation of the Tianmu 3 mission was relaxed like taking a bus, but mainly because Deng Lei and Li Wei had both landed on the moon, and Liu Ming also had the experience of flying around the moon, only the newcomer Fu Xiangjie had no time to participate in chatting and looking around, lest he miss a little scenery.

However, the small talk time was limited to the first deceleration stage, and when the Jiuzhang changed its attitude and began to decelerate by gravity from the four engines in its abdomen, Deng Lei concentrated on the spacecraft.

At this point, he can only observe the surface of the moon below through an external camera, and his hand is on the rudder pole, ready to take control.

The gray-white moon surface was like a static picture magnified at a constant speed, until the airflow of the engine blew up a large amount of dust to completely block the camera, and after about seven or eight seconds, Deng Lei felt that the acceleration from the bottom to the top suddenly disappeared, and the noise in the cabin, which was originally like the work of a water pump, stopped abruptly, and the porthole in the front could already see the distant hills that were no longer moving.

"We're back again."

After saying this sentence with a voice that only he could hear, Deng Lei clicked on the satellite cloud map.

Last month, the National Aviation Development Commission launched dozens of microsatellites with an average weight of 50 kilograms on medium-sized commercial rockets, which were also manufactured by private aerospace companies, and together with several "Laurel" satellites, a set of relatively usable lunar GPS navigation systems was formed.

Thanks to the fact that the moon has no atmosphere, the orbit of those microsatellites can be as low as more than ten kilometers, and the function has also been greatly reduced, and all the costs of the entire system are only tens of millions of yuan, even if they are destroyed by a nuclear explosion in the future, they will not feel distressed.

However, this simple GPS can provide accurate guidance and large-area coverage communication services for spacecraft and astronauts in the early stage, at least Deng Lei feels very convenient to use.

According to the GPS display, the automatic landing error of the Jiuzhang is only ± 2.5 meters, which is consistent with the positioning error range.

"Xiang Jie, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, I feel like I can get up and walk now."

"Let's rest for 15 minutes, then we'll have something to eat and get ready, and we'll ...... I left the cabin at 10:30, do I have any comments? ”

Deng Lei quickly arranged the time to leave the cabin, and then began to report the situation to the command center, and after finishing, he slowly stood up and carefully began to adapt to walking in the state of gravity.

The other three began to do similar things, and after getting completely acquainted with it, they finished their light meals and rested for a while before they helped each other put on their spacesuits and entered the cargo hold of the spaceship.

Because they had to carry something down, they didn't plan to get out of the cabin through the front, but through the side cargo door.

The goods brought this time were mainly heavy consumables such as folding lunar rovers, and most of them were brought over and piled up at the resettlement site when the Jiuzhang was launched, and they needed to sort it out.

These include a three-stage connected quarters, the "Katsura", which can accommodate four to seven people for a short period of time, and their first task is to secure the Guishu quarters as a shelter for the astronauts in the event of the Chapter 9 accident.

The essence of the Guishu habitation module is actually an improvement from the command module of the "Full Moon" lander, and the space agency has rudely combined three such modules, changing the outermost one into an airlock module, and the other two together can provide 40 square meters of living space, which is not small.

There was no pressurization in the cargo hold, so Deng Lei directly unfolded two lunar rovers in it, and the four astronauts sat directly on it, watching the hatch slowly open downward, revealing the desolate lunar surface.

What will it be this time?

Deng Lei's mind briefly flashed the things explained by the boss, and then immediately entered the work state.

"Let's go!"

He took the lead in the Chitu-2 lunar rover, rushing out of the cargo hold and driving onto the lunar surface, followed by Chitu-3.

The No. 14 robot, also wearing a spacesuit, had already driven the broken "Lu" lunar rover and other places here, leading human visitors to the material resettlement site.

Deng Lei drove along the tracks of the last landing that had been compacted by engineering vehicles, and in his opinion it was no different from a dirt road.

In addition to 14 standardized engineering equipment vehicles with different functions, there are also more than 30 tons of other materials in total, which are scattered in the open space more than one kilometer away from the landing site.

The engineering vehicles responsible for the production of fuel have all gone deep into the Qom impact crater, leaving only one nuclear power truck to ensure sufficient power supply.

The Laurel Habitat was placed in the middle of the clearing, and the ground around it was covered with various marks, and it was clear that the construction vehicles and robots had done most of the work.

Human astronauts mainly came to inspect the interior, as well as to give different meanings to the laurel habitation module.

Deng Lei parked the lunar rover and picked up a package the size of a computer bag, waved his hand to signal Fu Xiangjie to take the tool kit on his lunar rover, and then led a few people to the front of the Guishu living module.

The hatch of the transition compartment was in front of you, and four buckles were reserved for the upper part.

Li Wei had already opened the package, took out a brass-colored metal plate, and hung it on it with Deng Lei.

Then Liu Ming took out the hammer in the toolkit and lightly tapped it on the four corners a few times, so that the metal plate was completely stuck in.

Then he grabbed the protective sleeve attached to the surface of the metal plate, and tore it off to reveal a few lines of red letters engraved on the metal plate:

"Aerospace Development Committee Base in Yushu-1"

"Office of the Organization"
