Chapter 53: Working on the Moon

"Did they do it so quickly?" Russian Space Agency, Romonlosov looked at the screen and sighed: "We're one more step slower!"
The Russian Space Agency's idea is actually similar to that of China. They also plan to land on the moon before the Americans return to the moon, and everything is ready!
Who knew that they were caught off guard by the China Space Administration? Now, they can only watch Du Xingyu planting the red flag on the moon!
"The Chinese have already landed on the moon!" The Indian Space Administration, everyone looked at this scene enviously. How hopeful they are that the Indians are standing on the moon at this moment!
Unfortunately, the wreckage of the Indian Lunar 2 probe that crashed last time is still reminding them that India does not have this strength yet.
"The Chinese have landed on the moon, it's really amazing!" Some people in the island country were also watching the live broadcast and sighed.
"They are really amazing, maybe we can send scholars to learn!"
...
On the moon, the two astronauts behind Du Xingyu, Shen Yan and Su Peng, also stepped onto the soil of the moon.
"It's interesting to jump here!" Because the gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of the earth, Du Xingyu can jump up easily. He jumped on the moon, experiencing this wonderful feeling.
Shen Yan; “…”
Su Peng: "Mr. Du, we are going to carry out the mission! Shen Yan, you go and check Yutu 2, I will put down the Yutu 3 lunar rover."
"Okay!" Female astronaut Shen Yan went to check the Yutu 2 unmanned lunar rover that had landed on the moon for nearly a year.
Su Peng put down the Yutu 3 lunar rover in the lunar module, started the button, and the folded lunar rover began to unfold, forming the appearance of a mountain bike.
"Friends, now we are going to start the lunar scientific examination task, so we can't continue to broadcast live. See you next time!" The following pictures are all scientific research secrets, so we can't continue to broadcast live.
"That's over? I haven't seen enough yet!"
"Please, please don't close the broadcast, okay?"
"I just want to see what the moon's surface looks like. Is it so difficult?"
"It's gone if you're so excited!"
"Anchor, you have tens of millions of popularity to turn off the broadcast, but other anchors are afraid they will be so sad!"
No matter what the fans say, the live broadcast signal is still cut off.
"Yutu No. 2 was slightly damaged, but the sampling task was completed." Shen Yanhui reported.
"Okay, send the sample back to the lunar module and let Jiao Yunmeng cooperate with you." Du Xingyu said, "Su Peng and I will go to inspect the location!"
"Received!" Shen Yan and Jiao Yunmeng, the astronaut who stayed in the lunar module, continued to execute the role, while Du Xingyu and Su Peng got on the Yutu 3 lunar rover.
They also have the most important task, which is to find places where they can build a lunar base! This is also their biggest mission to land on the moon!
Analysis of soil, rocks and composition on the moon surface has actually been almost done for so many years.
If you want to further develop the moon, you must establish a lunar base! Otherwise, every time you travel to and from the moon, people will spend huge amounts of money and take huge risks.
If there is a lunar base, these problems will be solved. The lunar base is also an important task to grab territory on the moon and establish a frontier position for space exploration!
"Command Center, we are ready to set off!" Su Peng shouted.
"You can set out!" the command center replied.
Before leaving, Du Xingyu looked around, first observing the blue planet, and then looking at the boundless universe.
Fortunately, there was no asteroid that was enough to destroy the human world this time! It seems that my efforts to land in the moon in advance are still useful!
"The scenery here is indeed very shocking!" Su Peng sighed while driving a lunar rover and galloping on the moon. "It's worth it to be able to come to the moon once in this life!"
"It's too few at a time, and I'll come often in the future." Du Xingyu held the telescope and observed the surrounding terrain.
Near this coordinate is a location that the lunar rover has long explored.
There are uneven craters everywhere on the moon. Moreover, because there is no atmosphere protection, the temperature difference between day and night, space radiation, and meteorite impacts are also dangerous.
If you build a lunar base directly on the plain, it will be very difficult! And it will cost a lot!
So after discussion by experts from the Space Administration, they decided to try to find a small mountain on the moon and initially build a small "cave"-style base.
This cave has natural thermal insulation and heat protection functions. The mountain can also block moon dust and space radiation, making it more convenient to create a closed aerobic environment.
With the cave-like lunar base as the core, several astronauts can stay on the moon for a long time, transport supplies and personnel through lunar spacecraft, gradually expand, and finally build a truly large lunar base!
Du Xingyu and Su Peng's mission is to measure the terrain, explore nearby soil and rocks, and find a suitable place as a cave base.
This time, they plan to stay on the moon for ten days, complete the preliminary work, and then set off to return to Earth.
According to the guidance of the Chang'e satellite, Du Xingyu and Su Peng quickly found the previously selected mountain and began geological exploration.
A few hours later, Du Xingyu rode a lunar motorcycle with soil and rock samples back to the lunar module for analysis, and asked Shen Yan and Jiao Mengyun to change shifts. He and Su Peng drank water and had a meal in the lunar module to replenish their energy.
Most of the time, scientific research work is very boring. After three days of measurement and the data analysis obtained by the Chang'e project, Du Xingyu and others finally found a suitable location.
This is a natural cave with enough space. As long as it is properly renovated, a large amount of work of digging caves can be avoided.
Outside the cave, there is an empty flat ground, suitable for landing in the lunar module and driving in the lunar rover.
"First, build a signal station above the cave!" The three of them began to build a signal station, and at the same time transport materials and store them in the cave.
In order to show that this is the territory of China, they also specially put red flags around them.
"Before we leave, we need to build a small ecological space." Du Xingyu said, "I am now in division of labor."
"Su Peng and I lay solar panels to construct energy systems. Shen Yan and Jiao Mengyun work in the cave and build confined spaces. One of us has to stay in the lunar module, responsible for handling emergencies and contacting teammates. We take turns to work, and now we start."
"Received!" The four of them divided their work and started their work.
Above them, lunar exploration satellites from various countries are looking for their traces. The Moon lunar spacecraft is still flying along the moon's orbit, waiting for their return.
"The solar panels have been laid and the power system is perfect."
"The confined space has been completed, the air pressure is normal, and the water circulation system is normal... This ecological space is expected to last for half a year!"
Chapter completed!
