After a day's work, Ye Han returned to the dormitory. When the door opened, he saw Bai Xiaoting waiting at home, having a video chat with Professor Qin who was far away on earth.
"Back!" Bai Xiaoting came over happily.
The day after the spaceship arrived, Bai Xiaoting threw herself into intense work and lived a fulfilling life, leaving early and returning late. However, no matter how busy she was, she didn't have as many things as Ye Han, so she came home from get off work first every day, like an ordinary person. A common little wife is waiting for her husband to come back.
Ye Han showed a happy smile on his face, sat on the chair and said hello to Professor Qin. Bai Xiaoting sat beside him gently, twisted her body and squeezed into Ye Han's arms, and Ye Han hugged her shoulders.
It feels good to have someone waiting at home.
Professor Qin asked curiously: "Ye Han, is there any news from your place?"
"There is no news, but there is a bit of old news."
"Tell me about it." Professor Qin was not picky at all.
He didn't know the details of the Beiyuezhou base, but he knew that there were many secrets on the moon, and Ye Han had to talk about what he could.
Ye Han filtered the recent news in his mind: "The international base opened the crater a few days ago..."
"I've heard about this too, does it have a big impact?" Professor Qin asked.
"It's okay. They are several months late. They have just left the crater. We have already sent the exploration team to the cold sea." Ye Han said.
"Lenghai?" Professor Qin didn't know much about the geography of the moon.
"Well, that's what it is. When you look at the moon during the full moon, the top is the North Pole, and a little lower there is a ribbon-like thing. The small area on the far right of the ribbon is the cold sea."
"Oh... Americans can't reach Lenghai yet?" Professor Qin didn't understand at all, but he couldn't stop asking more questions, so he simply memorized the word first and looked up the information later.
"We can't get there for the time being. If they can walk a few steps to the edge of the base, that's good. They won't be able to get out in three or two months!" Ye Han said confidently.
Confidence comes from strength, and no one is afraid of Beiyuezhou base on the moon.
The Lenghai exploration team consists of three large lunar rovers, carrying enough supply air for one and a half months. They will go all the way southeast, bypass several craters, and reach Lenghai through the plain area between the ringed mountains. They will conduct a period of research on Lenghai.
Twenty days of scientific research.
The results of the inspection will determine whether Beiyuezhou opens a second branch base in Lenghai!
Regarding the construction of the sub-base, both Beiyuezhou and the ground are very cautious.
Ice water can only be found at the two poles of the moon. Without water, there will be no oxygen. Therefore, whether to open a sub-base in the lunar sea has been subject to fierce debate.
Professor Qin was very happy: "That's great. If you ask me, Americans shouldn't be allowed to go to the moon!"
Ye Han grinned helplessly and didn't answer.
The reasons behind this are too complicated to explain. Even if he explains clearly, he may not be able to convince Mr. Qin, so he should not talk so much.
The old man still wanted to ask about things on the moon, but Ye Han interrupted him: "Grandpa, how is the situation in the north?"
"It's still like that, it's just a day at a time. I prepared early today and the situation is much better than last year, but it's not a problem to keep going like this all the time!" When the northern defense line was mentioned, the old professor sighed.
"Hey, time flies so fast, it's been more than two years in the blink of an eye." Ye Han said.
It has been exactly two years since the Jinghu Incident broke out. The country has experienced numerous crises in the past two years. Now the Chinese people have become accustomed to the attacks of giant insects, and the situation has gradually stabilized. Even if we encounter giant insects, it does not look like an insect plague.
I was as panicked as I was when the outbreak first occurred, because fewer and fewer people were killed by the giant insect.
Professor Qin's eyes widened: "Xiaoting has already been seduced by you, how can you not hurry up?"
"Grandpa!" Bai Xiaoting stamped her feet, "What did you say!"
"Okay, if I don't tell you, you won't be admitted to the female university!"
"You still said that!"
The topic was finally no longer heavy. Ye Han said hello and walked out of the screen, got into the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out, the video had ended.
Ye Han fluttered and threw himself on the bed: "Why didn't you say anything?"
"It's time." Bai Xiaoting sighed, "It's time for grandpa to rest."
Ye Han patted the bed beside him: "Beauty, come here!"
Bai Xiaoting rolled her eyes and lay down next to Ye Han obediently. She complained: "I've been here for several days, and you leave early and come back late every day without a trace. Are you really that busy?"
Ye Han smiled bitterly: "I came back early because of you. Before you came, I was even later than this. I was even busy except for eating and sleeping."
"What are you busy with?" Bai Xiaoting asked dissatisfiedly.
"There are a lot of things going on, let's just say these few days, the engineering team has started digging hole No. 7, and Lao Gao is too busy. Can I not go over and help?"
"Isn't it enough for you to take care of your military team's affairs? Why don't you also take care of other people's engineering team's affairs?"
"I'm just an idle person. If you don't grab my bag, who's bag will you grab?" Ye Han sighed, "Let's give it a few days. It'll be fine in a few days."
Bai Xiaoting hit Ye Han with her head: "Didn't you say that everything is ready? Why dig again?"
Holes 1 to 6 each have their own uses, covering various aspects such as agriculture, scientific experiments, smelting, separation, mechanical processing and energy. According to the construction plan, if any area needs to expand production capacity, it will continue to dig underground instead of
Dig a new hole.
Ye Han smiled and explained: "Cave No. 7 is an airport."
"Airport? Isn't there one?"
"That one is temporary." Ye Han said, "This one is permanent, indoors, similar to an airport on the ground."
"Can we return to Earth?"
"No way, you are thinking too much."
"Isn't it an airport? What is an airport without flights?"
Ye Han couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "How can we have the conditions to open flights now? This is a cargo airport!"
Bai Xiaoting blinked curiously: "Freight? Where to transport it? We are short of everything here, so we have to send things back?"
"It's not sending things back, it's sending things to the lunar orbit." Ye Han explained patiently, "You think the base is all on the ground?"
"Want to go to heaven if you're not on the ground?"
"If you don't think about it, you just go to heaven." Ye Han said, "Our base is divided into two parts: the ground and outer space. Now the ground part is almost complete. From now on, we will slowly increase production capacity. It is time to build an airport."
"What about outer space?" Bai Xiaoting was surprised, "What is that part about outer space?"
"It's an orbital factory!" Ye Han said, "Even if the moon's gravity is small, we can't build warships on the ground. It's not just tens or hundreds of tons. The displacement is thousands of tons. What do you think about such a heavy lump of iron?
