"Meng, I never thought I'd experience something like this on the moon."

Standing in the restroom in the middle of Residence Module 1, Thomas turned on the faucet on the sink, and immediately there was a stream of clear, pure water.

The two habitation pods are capable of storing up to 3,000 litres of water, and every week they are sent from the Qom crater, purified enough to support the "splurge".

According to the normal needs of drinking, washing, etc., the life of the six astronauts is completely rich, and the consumption of oxygen and other things can also be provided by electrolysis.

The Moonice Mining Fleet, which was originally only used for verification purposes, has been able to fully afford the consumption of pre-development.

Thomas, who had lived on the International Space Station for almost 11 months, was excited to receive some water on the spot and began to wash his face.

Meng Forest was also quite surprised, although he had long heard of the "extravagance" of the Yushu base, but he still couldn't believe that there was the best living environment in the farthest place from the earth.

"This is the landing of the two habitation cabins, before, including now Deng Lei, they are all crowded in the Jiuzhang, the conditions are not much better than the full moon lander, and there was even an emergency shortage of poop bags before."

The other two foreigners were all groping around in the living module under the leadership of Fu Xiangjie, while Li Wei and Meng Forest were communicating about what was happening at the moon base.

Li Wei's attitude was particularly enthusiastic, and he hadn't seen a newcomer for three months.

“…… Xiao Meng, you don't know, when we installed this module, the power supply was almost wrong, three months, three months we have been living in this 150 square meters of place, Tiangong is much better than here.

Even if I can go out and walk around at any time, I always need to hide in a spacesuit, and I am too far away from the earth, and many times I can only see the dark starry sky......"

Meng Linlin listened carefully to every word he said, imagining that in the past three months, they were like members of the Antarctic research station, relying on a small base to be stationed in this most vast wasteland in history, working for the noblest ideals of mankind.

"Instructor, when are you going to swap back?"

"Go back?"

Li Wei thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"It depends on the mission, but we will probably have to wait until the second half of the year, and if the plan goes well, it is possible to stay until next year, and we will stay and continue to build the base.

However, by the end of this year, the permanent staff here should be expanded to more than 12 people, and it will be much easier by then. ”

"It's been a year."

Meng Linlin felt that this should be the most coveted thing for all astronauts, and what could be more meaningful than blazing on the moon?

He was now desperate to get out of the Dawn Project, if only he had been chosen as a member of the Skydome Project.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Li Wei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him in a thick voice:

"The people who can come to the Tianmu mission are the best elite astronauts, and we need old seniors like us to overwhelm the field, but the younger generation is the main force, and the space agency will not let you waste your time."

As soon as the words fell, he saw Meng Linlin's eyes suddenly turn to the window, and he couldn't help but follow suit.

In the dark starry sky that had already darkened, there was a blue light cluster that was rising rapidly, and Li Wei immediately recognized it.

"It's the Nine Chapters, it's going back in orbit, ah, you should wait for it to bring the down."

"What...... What? ”

"The hydrogen bomb, as well as those test equipment and instruments, it's a pity that the T7 lunar rover was sent to the mine for them to use, otherwise we could also go and see the real hydrogen bomb."

……

Two hours later, the Rabbit space station.

In addition to the newly docked Jiuzhang spacecraft, the space station also docked the Dawn-1 spacecraft, which arrived a day earlier, and they brought a second batch of five experts.

The Dawn 2 cargo spacecraft has arrived, but it has some other work to do before docking.

Now the Dawn 2 spacecraft is slowly approaching the Peregrine probe orbiting the Moon, preparing to remove the hydrogen bomb from above.

This process is all automated by AI, but it is still supervised from the ground and the space station.

Deng Lei, who had just landed on the space station, quickly found the second batch of five experts, who were mainly band and were watching the operation of Dawn 2.

In the transmitted footage, the "Peregrine Falcon" probe is clearly visible, and the columnar object on its tail is very conspicuous.

Dawn 2 cautiously used the RCS to get closer, and Rowe nuclear expert Jamie Stevenson stared at the radiation values.

Fortunately, there are numbers, but there are no alarms, indicating that there is no problem with the hydrogen bomb.

At a distance of 10 meters from the Peregrine Falcon, Dawn 2 stopped, and then unfolded its small external robotic arm to get closer to the Peregrine Falcon.

At the same time, ESA issued an order for the Peregrine Falcon to separate from the hydrogen bomb, and the column gently bounced out to the side under the impact of the explosive bolt, and then was firmly grasped by the nimble robotic arm.

The picture shook slightly for more than ten seconds, and after confirming that the grip was stable, the top docking hatch of Dawn 2 opened outward, and the robotic arm adjusted the direction of the column a little more, and slowly stuffed it into the cargo hold of the spacecraft.

There are additional fixing mechanisms in the cargo compartment that can automatically grab it, and then the Dawn 2 spacecraft will take about 4 hours to dock with the Wutu space station.

The entire process took more than an hour, and every step was taken with the utmost care.

However, in reality, the hydrogen bomb is far from so fragile, and it is only because this is the first operation that everyone appears to be extremely cautious.

Deng Lei and the others, who were supposed to rest, waited until Dawn 2 arrived at the space station, and then couldn't wait to open the hatch.

12 pairs of eyes looking (literally) at the object behind the interface from all directions:

It was an elliptical object fixed with a hexagonal prism frame, which the Royal Air Force had removed from the warhead and repackaged, adding a frame to facilitate fixation and a modified fuse.

Except for those nuclear experts who have been dealing with this thing for almost half their lives, Deng Lei and other astronauts have seen the real ultimate weapon for the first time, although it looks so inconspicuous, he can still feel his heart pounding, and his whole body is covered with dense goosebumps.

If this thing explodes now, the Black Rabbit Space Station will really not even have scum left.

In the time he was out of his mind, Stevenson had already drilled into the control panel outside the nuclear bomb and quickly pressed it, flipped through the current status indication code and whether the fuse was normal, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he drill out, and then took a deep look before saying:

"Let's all go back and rest, tomorrow we will move them all into the 'Nine Chapters', the current state is not good."

Deng Lei nodded slowly, his eyes never moved on the nuclear bomb, as if he wanted to completely fix his image in his mind.

"It's Pandora's box."

On the ceiling behind him, Tomarsov hung upside down with his hands folded, muttering in a voice that only he could hear.
