"Five thousand one hundred forty ...... Error 2.5%. ”

Deng Lei looked at the numbers on the laser rangefinder and picked up the GPS again to confirm.

The Robin Hood test explosion was located in the central area of the mine, using a semi-buried detonation area, and the area of action was mainly on the surface of the moon.

The purpose of this is to test the great idea of improving the landscape with a nuclear bomb, and although the explosion will not create a large plain, as long as the observations are similar, it means that it is really feasible to use nuclear bombs for infrastructure construction.

In the vicinity of the "Robin Hood" explosive device there are seven unidentified experimental devices, four domestic, two for Ami and one for Lucia.

All the experts chose to skip them when they mentioned them, and only placed them according to the instructions and specifications, while placing the observation instruments everywhere outside the core area.

There are also two microsatellites in the sky that have been specially enhanced to photograph explosions from space.

The ignition time was set for 20:15 p.m. Beijing time on May 9, when the Wutu space station and some important spacecraft were operating on the other side of the blast surface, which could avoid most of the impact.

As for the impact on the Earth's orbit, there is no need to worry, because the tidal lock of the Moon always faces the Earth on one side, and the mine is located on the far side of the Moon, which basically affects less than 380,000 kilometers away.

Next to Deng Lei was Tim, an astronaut with a long object tightly clutched.

What he holds in his hand is the safe state release key, which needs to be inserted into the special groove of "Robin Hood" 8 hours before the explosion to unlock, and the whole process is kept by him alone, as for the detonation order, the Royal Air Force issued a delayed detonation order 1 hour in advance, and the time is triggered by self-ignition.

It's still 9 o'clock, just over two hours before Tim goes to plug in the key, and he's kept away from the crowd, ready to receive orders from London.

Whether it is the moon or the earth, the atmosphere is actually a little tense and full of familiarity, the cause is naturally Ami's sudden attack, although it is suppressed, but no one can guarantee that something will happen at the last moment.

It was only at 19 o'clock that everything was a foregone conclusion after the delayed detonation order was issued, and it was not until John himself came to the moon to dismantle the nuclear bomb with his bare hands.

While waiting for Tim to release the key, all the 7 astronauts who landed in the third batch were able to take the trouble to check and chat, just wisely avoiding what had just happened on Earth.

"Hey, Artemis V was supposed to assist us, but how did you hear that it was delayed until the end of May?"

Claire's ambitious "Centaur" plan has long been announced, and after the launch of Artemis IV, the outside world is looking forward to Aramco's return to the top and a moon landing in two months, according to the schedule, Artemis V should naturally be launched at the end of April.

However, on April 22, NACA abruptly announced that the Artemis V mission had been postponed until late May due to interference from the United Mines hydrogen bomb test explosion.

The outside world is still convinced, but everyone inside United Mining knows that Aramco originally planned to use Artemis V to send the test device over to carry out a landing mission near the mine, and the Aviation Development Commission also maintained a tacit acquiescence in previous exchanges.

But who knew that they suddenly gave up again, and it was a month to push.

Tomarsov, who could not be idle, asked the others curiously, and immediately received an answer from Nikolai Thalal, an astronaut and engineer of the Hip Country:

"Ha, of course it's because the ESA is out of food."

Taral is also a mid-level official within ESA and obviously knows a lot:

"The Orion spacecraft used in the Artemis project is jointly manufactured by NACA and ESA, and Lockmartin is in charge of the command module, while we originally planned to produce only six service modules, and the Artemis IV used it took a lot of effort to get out.

They have not yet been able to find a replacement for the service module produced by ESA, and this delay is also due to ESA's shortage of manpower, and we are working hard to build the Hermes space shuttle, which has the highest priority.

I've also heard that it was Tim who was originally selected for Artemis IV, but he put Cole's unlucky guy on top haha......"

"Tullar, I entered the Tianmu mission through selection very early, and United Mining started buying insurance for me half a year ago!"

The two people quarreled over the radio without any pain, at first communicating in half-baked Chinese, but in the end they both spoke their own language at a speed that was completely inaudible.

Deng Lei didn't care about these two living treasures, but connected to the channel of the Yushu base alone.

"I'm Li Wei."

"Are you and Xiaofu ready, geological experts say it may cause an earthquake."

"Don't worry, there are 200 kilometers in a straight line, and we will all wear spacesuits, but we won't have such a clear conversation for a while."

After the explosion of Robin Hood, it is foreseeable that the GPS and all-lunar communication services composed of CubeSats and microsatellites will definitely be severely damaged, and the fragile small satellites with an orbital altitude of at least a dozen kilometers will be the first victims of soft X-ray radiation and electromagnetic pulses.

This GPS has been very popular with astronauts, and leaving it is like driving without a map that lacks morality, and they are always afraid of messing up something.

Deng Lei: "Soon we will be able to pick up green glass on the moon, I remember that we have a special protective box in our supplies, which should be able to be carried." ”

Li Wei: "Then you have to make a report to apply for a disposable spacesuit, by the way, don't forget to send the coordinates of the lunar rover when you leave, and I will let the explorer drive back." ”

The six new explorer robots carried by Dawn 2 were also unloaded on the Chapter 9, along with the two new lunar rovers, who first helped complete the nuclear bomb preparation mission and then needed to rush back to the Yushu base to hide when the Chapter 9 was evacuated.

"Understood...... Don't say it, it's really fun for spider robots to ride motorcycles...... Finished, please feel free to inform us if you have any problems. ”

"Good luck, Captain Deng."

Hexagonal, Office XIII.

The follow-up on NX17 has nothing to do with David, and it is more appropriate to let a more professional intelligence bureau do it internally.

Now David was sitting in front of a row of screens, the fluctuating radio spectrum constantly changing.

This is a signal from several Martian probes who are in full swing to find the signals that were present in the M event.

As long as there is a detection signal within a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 7 days, it can basically prove that David's "energy threat theory" is true, and every time human beings use nuclear bombs, they are striking matches in the dark.

If the fastest speed, the delay from the Moon to Mars is now 187 seconds, assuming that the extraterrestrial probe is on Mars and immediately relays the signal, it will take more than 6 minutes to be discovered by the Mars probe and transmitted back to Earth, and the satellite warning can be received at 8:23 CET on the 9th at the earliest.

David looked at the time, it was only 00:10, Tim should be plugging in the key, and then quickly fled back to the Chapter 9 spacecraft to the space station.
