529 Moon Base
Once people start to have something to do, time passes quickly. When Smith focuses on adapting to one-sixth of the gravity of the earth, the passage of time also seems to begin to get faster. In order to miss the feat of landing on the moon in another universe, Smith practices very seriously.
Fortunately, with the small Flying Dragon series spacecraft made of antimatter materials, landing on the moon is not a very dangerous thing. But not everyone can get up. Theoretically, the petite body of the moon and the weak gravity do not have the ability to bind the atmosphere. Once sunlight is shining, gas molecules can easily reach a speed of departure and overflow from the planet.
But in fact, there is still an extremely thin atmosphere on the moon. Of course, the tiny air pressure and the substances formed are not suitable for carbon-based organisms to survive on it. Therefore, walking on the moon is still very dangerous for humans. You need to have a basic understanding of the equipment you wear and have good breathing habits so that all tasks can be completed as much as possible.
In this way, more than 260 hours were almost fleeting.
Smith had just become familiar with the bulky space suit and began to get used to wearing heavy space suits and jumping around in gravity only one-sixth of the earth. The Kuafu had already arrived at the back of the moon in this universe.
This time, everyone can see more clearly. There are as many as seven buildings scattered on the back of the moon. Not all of them are mines, but also obvious modern industrial factories. As Ning Wei judged, there are not only mines here, but also mineral processing plants.
This is also very reasonable.
Space capacity should be very expensive in this era. If the primitive mine is transported directly to the earth, it will undoubtedly consume more capacity. Not to mention it will pollute the environment. As for the lunar environment being polluted... Well, this is a satellite anyway, and even if the thin air is not polluted, it cannot be used for people to breathe.
...
Determining coordinates in space is a very troublesome thing.
Fortunately, everything is automatically transformed for March. Without referring to the terms of determining coordinate systems such as ellipsoids, precessions, etc., the Kuafu put down the modified Flying Dragon I small spacecraft on the orbit about 280 kilometers away from the moon's surface on the D3 area facing away from the moon. Then it began to fly along the orbit.
This is the best route after March calculations. Both spacecraft are under the control of March. In case of danger, the Flying Dragon I can return to the Kuafu within half an hour to complete the expedition.
When the Dragon I type gradually approached the moon, Smith was shocked again.
"Look, what is that? The national flag?"
This time, even Liu Wei couldn't keep his calm because his national flag was too familiar.
"Yes, yes." Ning nodded and replied.
"Why are you not surprised at all?" Smith looked at Ning Wei in surprise, and he could see the surprise in his eyes through his mask.
"Actually, there was feedback on the telescope before. The building on it was hung with the national flags of two countries. I won't say anything about the other country, you should be able to guess it. I didn't say hello to you in advance, just to see how you have never seen the world." Ning Wei replied casually.
When this sentence came into the earphones that came with the protective suit, both of them were silent.
After a long time, Liu Weicai asked tentatively: "Academician Ning, aren't we really traveling to the future earth?"
"This mind is big enough. Just think about it. Just think about it. You have to understand that time is a concept created. The three-dimensional macro-low speed environment makes us need a unit of measurement to describe the state of the movement of objects, so we define time. To put it bluntly, time is a reference system. So whether it is traveling to the past or to the future, it is a very nonsensical thing."
Ning Wei subconsciously shrugged, but unfortunately, this playful action paired with a bulky protective suit, completely lost the feeling.
Looking at Liu Wei's still in a daze, Ning sighed and continued to explain: "Actually, this is very easy to explain. Our series of definitions of time are for easy description. For example, a child told you that I am ten years old this year, or that I have watched the sun rise and set 3,652 times, all of which are the same meaning, obviously the former is more like human words."
"This explanation is very special..." Smith said with a frown.
"Meow... I suggest that the three of you should not argue about issues that have nothing to do with the moon landing. The spacecraft will land and be scheduled in five minutes. If I were you, you will definitely make good use of these five minutes to do the final inspection."
The kitten's words came from the speaker, which successfully stopped the topic of the three of them.
"Okay, it's time to log in. Hurry up and do the final inspection work, and then we'll go down and take a look."
...
The landing location chosen by Feilong I is naturally a complex with the Chinese Red Flag logo, and it is also the largest surface complex visible to the naked eye on the back of the moon.
From a distance, I only feel that these buildings on the moon are extremely sparse, but when I really landed on the moon, I feel how grand the scale of these buildings is.
Feilong I chose to dock in a square outside this building.
Spaceships like the Flying Dragon series that are navigable on the planet will naturally not be compared with interstellar ships like the Mir and Kuafu in terms of size. But if compared with Boeing and Airbus' wide-body aircraft, it will still be a little bigger.
Even so, when the Flying Dragon I landed vertically on the square near the edge of the building, it can still be seen that the ship still occupied a very small corner of the abandoned square.
From the direction of landing, we can also see that March was indeed worried about the adventure of the three of them. It was very close to the gates of this row of closed buildings, and it was just a few steps away.
After testing the communication equipment that comes with the protective suit, the three of them got in touch with March, and then the Feilong.
It was at this time that Ning Wei felt that he should design an entity for March instead of the robotic arm in the tool compartment on the Kuafu name.
In fact, Ning Wei has always had such a plan, but because of giving March a body, Ning Wei has obsessive-compulsive disorder and always wants to find better materials to give March the ability to walk freely in the world, so this thought was delayed.
However, the obviously abandoned building complex is actually not very dangerous.
After all, no one.
...
When they got closer, the three of them discovered that the outer walls of these buildings were actually made of metal.
Although it is difficult to form wind on the moon because of its thin atmosphere, no one takes care of it all year round and these buildings are still covered with a layer of dust. This probably means that gas flows on the moon.
It was at this time that the three of them discovered that they saw the flying national flag from afar, which was actually not made of cloth, but made of metal material integrated with the flagpole. But from the structure, especially the buckles connected between the flagpole, it can be seen that the flag can also be lifted and lowered.
At this moment, Ning Wei's mind appeared on the moon. The square was full of solemn scenes of people wearing space suits watching the ceremony and raising the flag. He was thinking about returning to his hometown in the future and imitating a flagpole when he was developing the moon base. He looked around but saw Liu Wei standing straight and bowing.
"Let's go, I don't know if that door can be opened." Ning Wei pointed to the building's door.
Without further ado, the three of them came to the door of the huge building. To Ning Wei's surprise, although it seemed that this place had been abandoned for a long time, the electronic lock in front of the door seemed to be working, because there was still a red light flashing at the opening on the left side of the door.
"Hello, please indicate your identity."
The gentle female voice suddenly sounded in the protective suit scared Ning Wei so much that she almost jumped up...
Fortunately, I didn't jump, otherwise I would probably hit the towering building. After all, the gravity of the moon is too small, and any jump can be very high.
It was Liu Wei and Smith who didn't have as much reaction as he did.
"Did you just heard it?"
"I heard that, isn't this... March?"
"March's voice is not like this. And how could March allow us to identify us?"
"How did the signal get inserted?"
"March, March, did you hear it just now?"
"My Meow... I heard that the preliminary calculation is that this building is controlled by my kind, and can automatically adapt to the frequency of the walkie-talkie to communicate with visitors."
"Your kind..." Ning Wei was silent for a moment...
"Hello, I have been authorized to monitor all radio signals in the Y071 lunar base, so I monitored your conversation. If this has caused trouble for you, I am very sorry. I found that you are speaking Chinese. According to the instructions issued by Mr. Tan Baixuan, the next highest commander of the Y071 lunar base, at the last moment of his life, you and your friends are authorized to enter the Y071 base."
The gentle female voice fell down, and the closed door suddenly slid from the middle to both sides, but only a layer of closed metal door inside was seen. However, this structure was normal. The empty hall was surrounded by neat cabinets, so it was better to clearly see the number on the cabinet door. A cabinet door on the left was still open, and you could see a set of clothes similar to a space suit hanging inside.
Apparently this is where people change clothes when they leave the life-sustaining device in the building.
Judging from those cabinets, there were at least more than 100 people here. Ning Wei saw the number of cabinets 120.
But at this time, Ning Wei was a little confused or not to go in.
Communication with March on the moon is based on the transit equipment on the Feilong I. The building here is a pure metal closed structure. Once the gate is closed, the signal will be blocked, and it is likely that it will be disconnected from March.
He didn't move his steps, so Liu Wei and Smith naturally wouldn't follow him rashly. Fortunately, the artificial intelligence seemed to be very patient and no one urged him.
"Well, what should I call you?"
"You can call me Xiao Luo, Luo is the fall of the fallen leaves."
"Xiao Luo, you just said that Mr. Tan Baixuan, the highest commander of this base, passed away? How did he die?"
"The war suddenly broke out. At that time, 79 engineering maintenance personnel and 6 managers were stationed in the base of Y071 on the moon. Mr. Tan Baixuan was also on the list as the rotating garrison commander of the base Y071. After receiving the news, I formulated an evacuation plan, but at that time, there was only one transport ship No. 003 left at the base, but this giant transport ship did not have the ability to enter the earth."
"When everyone boarded the Tiandu Space Port, which belongs to China, was attacked by missiles, and the Tiandu Space Port 003 also lost the opportunity to return to Earth to land. After the optimal calculation, Mr. Tan Boxuan decided to lead everyone to wait for rescue. However, everything happened too quickly. In the end, the earth lost 90% of the industrial base, especially the heavy industrial base, and was hit by a devastating blow. It was no longer possible to send rescue ships."
"The supply of materials in the lunar base depends entirely on the supply of the earth. At the same time, the living materials in the Y071 base are only enough to maintain the normal life of 85 garrisoners for half a year. After losing the supply of materials for one month, Mr. Tan Boxuan received an order from the earth, hoping that he could try to take the fuel in the base to Mars and build a Mars industrial base as soon as possible."
"Mr. Tan Boxuan received the order and took 84 members of the base to embark on a journey to Mars. However, the 003 was not designed for long-distance space navigation, and the 003 has been in service for 36 years. Finally, based on the TC coordinate system, the spacecraft suffered a serious failure at about 920,000 kilometers northeast of the moon, resulting in destruction. At the last moment of his life, he used the space communication buoy sprinkled along the way of the 003 transport ship to pass a plain text command to me, allowing me to hibernate and wait for awakening. After awakening, the personnel management procedures for all bases on the moon were automatically cancelled."
Well, now we can probably confirm that at least there is really no one in this lunar base.
"So Mr. Tan Boxuan's final order was that as long as someone could wake you up?" Ning Wei asked again.
"Yes, but awakening is just the first step. After I let you indicate your identity, the language you use later is Chinese, so I can give you permission to enter the base. If you want to obtain complete permissions from the base, you need to conduct gene bank comparison and confirmation within the base. If the confirmation is passed, you will get all permissions in the base. Even if you fail, you have the right to stay in the base as a guest for twenty-four hours."
"What if I stay for more than twenty-four hours?" Ning Wei couldn't help asking.
"Dear, the base has devastating weapons against carbon-based life. It is dangerous to not follow Xiaoluo's safety guidelines. It is not recommended that you try it."
How to say...
Although he saw a civilization ruin that amazes him, Ning Wei always felt that Xiao Luo seemed not so smart, and he didn't seem to be smarter than March.
"March, do you think we can go in and take a look?"
"Meow...If the owner simply considers safety issues, my suggestion is OK."
What is this?
Does the same type trust the same type more?
"Okay, Xiaoluo, the last question is, can the base still retain tools to contact the Huaxia base on earth?"
"Some of the fixed information buoys are still working normally with the Earth's Silo 03 quantum satellite, but due to the planet's curvature, its coverage area is limited, and only a specific period of time can be connected to signals every day. Of course, if you want to use a communication facility, you first need to obtain administrator permission."
