The second mission to the moon was given 48 months, while the mission to Saturn, which had increased in difficulty by orders of magnitude, only doubled.

During this period, I have to take some time to land on Mars to uncover the true face of Plain Zero, and the schedule becomes tight.

And what does Mars have to do with Titan, do the unnatural in both places come from the same place?

The huge amount of information poured in Lin Ju's brain in a mess, as for the material of the Chi Ling space elevator, it was nothing, nothing was more important than aliens.

"Tuk Tuk"

The sudden knock on the door made Lin Ju wake up suddenly, and then he felt that his whole body was sticky, and the cold sweat had soaked his underwear.

He breathed heavily, feeling the air as if he had just been saved from drowning.

"Please come in."

Pushing the door in, it was Xiao Wang, who had just sent him over, who immediately saw the beads of sweat condensed on the back of Lin Ju's neck and the wet hair, and was instantly surprised.

Where is this uncomfortable, it is clear that he has already freed up a cold sweat, and he may be in a fever.

Before he heard the news, he directly picked up Lin Ju and ran to the infirmary, and he didn't even hear what the person on his back said, and only sent it to the doctor as quickly as possible.

A few minutes later, Zhong Cheng, who stood up and stretched his waist, was about to rest for a while and take a look at Lin Ju by the way, when he saw Xiao Wang running over without any image, and said intermittently without caring about his rapid breathing:

Lin ...... Commissioner Lin fainted, and I applied for a direct promotion...... Machine, send, send ......"

"Lead the way!"

Zhong Cheng was already disillusioned after hearing the first few words, and directly pushed Xiao Wang and ran out together, leaving more than 100 staff members in the command center who didn't understand what was happening.

……

"Shet, this is a man's romance!"

Victor kicked the stake of the flagpole, and after confirming that it was solid, he rushed to the lander and began to dismantle the rover in the outer cargo hold with Wiseman.

This time the "Origin" carried two lunar rovers, an upgraded version of the lunar rover that looked much different from the Apollo period, and the other was significantly smaller - a two-wheeled motorcycle.

As for what means of transportation astronauts use on the moon, there were many scenarios as early as the Apollo program, including but not limited to:

Four-wheeled lunar rover, electric motorcycle, four-wheeled pedal bike, two-wheeled bicycle, scooter (the kind with a faucet), two-wheeled trolley (?) And so on, all sorts of things.

Among them, motorcycles, bicycles, and trolleys are several of the programs that have invested resources in formal research, and have been manufactured for testing.

The main reason for the elimination of the motorcycle plan was that it was too small in size and heat dissipation, and the battery technology at that time caused the performance to be too poor, so the most secure four-wheeled lunar rover was finally selected.

But the motorcycle solution also has its own advantages: lightweight, simple, passable, and can be used as a bicycle.

Last but not least, the moon's low gravity environment will make pedaling much less difficult, and if you run out of power, you can easily ride for a long time with physical strength, unlike the four-wheeled lunar rover that has to be abandoned when it runs out of power.

Maybe it was to expand the scope of the operation, or maybe it was just to try, but in any case, NACA sent a motorcycle this time around.

However, it is actually more appropriate to call it an electric bicycle, after all, it is not only electric, but also in order to facilitate the pedals, it simply uses the frame design of the old-fashioned bicycle, which is very similar to the "load king" old-fashioned electric bicycle that was popular in China in the early days, but the suspension is longer.

Victor liked the ugly crying design so much that he affectionately named it "Black Mamba", just like his favorite idol.

Victor easily assembled the "Black Mamba", rode it and ran briskly around the flagpole and lander as soon as he twisted the electric door, letting out a rough howl over the radio.

The first two hours were on TV, and they needed to plant flags and accompany John's speech, and now they can finally let themselves go.

Wiseman watched Victor in a bloated spacesuit ride on a motorcycle, like seeing a brown bear performing a bicycle in a circus, which was indescribably funny.

"Victor, save a little power, and help me tow the rover out together."

"European ...... No problem, this little electricity is no problem, you see I can pedal faster! ”

Victor kicked the pedals hard, only to find that NACA had deliberately designed the pressure plate to be small, and the speed of pedaling was only twenty or thirty, so he pouted and got off the motorcycle to help Wiseman continue to install and debug the equipment.

After everything was done, more than three hours had passed since the exit of the cabin, and there were only 30 minutes left before the expected four-hour exit time.

The task for the first day was simple, mainly due to the fact that NACA needed to get plenty of rest considering that they were planning to stay on the moon for 7 days.

But at this time, Victor was full of energy and looked in one direction from time to time.

He finally couldn't help but say to Wiseman:

"Hey, you said we should go over and have a look, they should have landed, right?

Did the Nine Chapter land? Is it still in the place of shuguang3? ”

He said the latter sentence to Houston, and he waited about a minute before he heard a voice from the ground.

"I'm Cairns, according to the information we have, the Jiuzhang successfully landed at the Yugui base more than an hour ago, and all four advance team members are on board, so no further information has been released for the time being.

Victor, it's almost time for you to go out of the cabin, and you'll meet...... NACA has arrangements for this, so please do not act without permission, repeat, please do not act without permission. ”

"Okay, okay, I know."

Victor muttered a few words of disappointment, which made Keynes, who was on duty, breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he was a high-quality astronaut, and his basic obedience should still be there.

But before he could speak again, he heard Victor scream with surprise:

"Even Shet! What the hell is that! ”

After a few seconds, Wiseman's voice rang out:

"Houston, we saw an unknown light, white light, very bright! It's really bright! And it's flashing!

Houston, please give us the exact direction of the Chinese camp, we need to confirm! ”

……

"Clam, I can work for the capitalists tonight."

Deng Lei stepped on the newly added lunar soil near the thick metal pole, and when he looked up, he could see the dazzling white blazing light overhead, illuminating a large area from top to bottom, providing lighting comparable to moonlit even on a moonlit night.

This is a street lamp, which can also be called a lighthouse, with a height of more than 80 meters, and a total power of more than 10 kilowatts of LED light clusters installed at the top.

This lamp also has a role to guide the way, although the range affected by the curvature of the moon is smaller than that of the earth, but ten or twenty kilometers is still no problem.

The mirror at the top can also be used to adjust the light and function as a searchlight.

"Turn off the lights, the heat sink isn't fully deployed!"

Liu Ming suddenly shouted on the radio, and the controller beeped a high temperature alarm after only turning on the light for more than ten seconds, which should be caused by the heat sink on the ground not being installed.
