After the meeting, Ye Han took the time to contact the command center. He thought he could get a digital model of version 20 of the power armor. However, the command center actually rejected Ye Han's request. What was sent to him was not a power armor model at all, but
Digital models of laser guns and self-defense pistols.
Ye Han was dumbfounded on the spot. Where had the power armor gone?
Only then did he remember that Gao Kai only mentioned printing weapons and equipment at the meeting, but did not say that the printed equipment was powered armor... This is just a gadget. Even if it is shown to the Americans, will it cause an arms race?
Ye Han was disappointed. After studying the detailed performance of the two firearms, he finally decided to print a laser gun first.
In fact, he emotionally prefers a self-defense pistol. Although this thing is not as high-end as a laser gun, it also has its own advantages.
First, he has used it for a long time and is very familiar with the structure and performance of self-defense pistols, and can form combat effectiveness when he holds them in his hands.
Second, the self-defense pistol has a simple mechanical structure and is not as complex as a laser gun, making it simple and convenient to maintain.
Third, the bullets can be loaded in the gun for a long time. As long as the storage conditions are suitable, they can still be fired ten years later. Even if the high-energy battery used in the laser gun is fully charged, it will run out of power if left for a long time, so it must be charged and maintained in time.
But no matter how many advantages Ye Han found, they could not solve the biggest shortcoming of the self-defense pistol, which was waste!
Printing a few pistols is nothing, but how to print bullets? Even if bullets can be printed, how many bullets are needed?
This is not the case with laser guns. There is a nuclear reactor in the base, and the most important thing is electricity. No matter how you look at it, laser guns are more cost-effective.
Although Ye Han still expressed doubts about the reliability of the laser gun, since the command center dared to give him the digital model, the design of the laser gun must have been very mature.
However, the original intention of equipping the temporary base with 3D printers was to repair equipment. The types of raw materials included were very limited. Some parts of the laser gun could not be printed and had to be brought from the ground by Kongtian No. 5.
Fortunately, the moon base's demand for weapons is not strong, and Ye Han can afford to wait.
Two days later, a spacecraft landed on the moon under satellite monitoring. After the spacecraft landed, more than ten astronauts from the United States stepped out of the spacecraft and began to sort out the construction equipment that had been delivered to the moon in advance.
Later that day, Beidou sent a congratulatory message to the United States on the other side of the ocean. Due to political considerations, the temporary base also sent a congratulatory message to the International Base Pioneer Group. The two sides established direct contact. No matter how you look at it, it was an excellent start.
With aliens like a big stone weighing on human beings, the possibility of the two bases falling out is very small. At most, they will hate each other and never interact with each other until death.
On the same day, Kongtian-5 was finally launched into space, and three days later, Kongtian-5 arrived at the moon.
Due to the start of construction of the international base, the arrival of Kongtian-5 seemed to have some symbolic meaning. All the astronauts who were off work ran to the landing site to wait to pick up people.
Ye Han's mission is to monitor the international base, but at this time, unless the international base deliberately lowers the spacecraft to the temporary base, there is no way to come over, so there is no need to stay at home all day watching satellite monitoring images, he might as well follow the landing
Join in the fun.
A group of idle astronauts waited for half an hour half a kilometer away from the landing site. Kongtian-5, with its butts burning, finally descended from the sky. When it was about to land, the fire stream ejected by the retro rocket suddenly increased a bit.
, held the spacecraft in the air briefly, and then the spacecraft successfully landed on the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, whether inside or outside the spacecraft.
Gao Kai immediately brought people close to the spacecraft, and the news of the spacecraft's successful landing was reported to the command center along with the radio waves.
By the time the newly arrived astronauts got out of the spacecraft, Gao Kai had already brought people on board the spacecraft, removed the fixing bolts of the functional cabins, and placed the two functional cabins firmly on the ground.
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh, more than two months is not a long time, but the changes in the base are not small. When Kongtian No. 1 landed, how could they get such treatment?
Gao Kai took advantage of the break to dismantle the functional module and walked under the spacecraft to contact the new astronauts. After a brief chat, Gao Kai was suddenly stunned, and then shouted on the radio: "Ye Han, come here!"
"Here we come!" Ye Han turned over and jumped from the top of the spacecraft, not caring about the height of nearly ten meters.
The gravity of the moon is low. Jumping from a height of twelve meters is only equivalent to a height of two meters on the earth. If there is not so much weight on the body, a vertical height of twenty or thirty meters is not a big deal.
The acceleration of gravity was too low, and the falling Ye Han was as light as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Until Ye Han landed on the ground, his falling speed was not much faster: "What's the matter?"
"There is a functional cabin that I need you to sign for." Gao Kai said in a strange tone.
"Sign for the function cabin? Me?" Ye Han was extremely surprised.
"It's you, hurry up, don't waste time!"
Ye Han walked over in confusion: "What are you signing for?"
"Military group equipment." Gao Kai pointed to a newly unloaded functional cabin and said.
Ye Han always felt that something was wrong: "How about sending this cabin back to the base first?"
"This is the property of your military group, you have the final say." Gao Kai teased.
"Then send it back to the base first... Why didn't I receive any news?" Ye Han asked in surprise.
"Why else? Keep it a secret!" Gao Kai said casually.
Several new astronauts nodded together, and Ye Han couldn't help but ask: "What is inside?"
"We don't know either." A newly arrived astronaut said, "The command center arranged it and said it can be handed over directly to the military team."
Ye Han nodded thoughtfully: "No matter what it is, let's finish dismantling the functional cabin first."
His curiosity has reached its limit, but since the ground has not told the astronauts what is in the cabin, there must be a reason for doing so. It is definitely not a good idea to open the functional cabin in public. Even if you return to the base, it is best to open the cabin.
Stay away.
There are definitely more than one or two astronauts with strong curiosity, but everyone is from the military, and no one understands the confidentiality regulations.
Ten minutes later, each team withdrew its troops and returned to the camp. When Ye Han returned to Base No. 1, the functional module had been placed outside the base, and the power and other things were connected.
Ye Han skillfully opened the hidden compartment outside the functional cabin and started the functional cabin. The functional cabin immediately unfolded like a living cabin. The engineering vehicle quickly rushed over and buried the unfolded living cabin with lunar soil.
After opening the airlock and entering the functional cabin, the lighting equipment in the cabin automatically lit up and the air-tight door closed behind him. Ye Han turned around and was shocked to see a tall and majestic power armor standing in the cabin.
Powered armor, actually powered armor! The joy of regaining it suddenly flooded Ye Han like a flood that broke a bank.
