Chapter 727: Space planting unit deployment

The moon landing is only the first step.
真正 For researchers who send astronauts to the moon, what really matters is what happens after they land on the moon.
Some of the materials in the lunar module were loaded on the lunar rover. Nie Yan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, skillfully started the engine, carrying Liu Wen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, toward the crater closest to the landing point. Drive past.
Looking at the craters that are stacked in the distance, and looking back at the blue planet, Liu Wenwen couldn't help sighing.
"This moon is really desolate."
"Yes."
没有 There was no more communication between the two along the way.
Until the lunar rover stopped next to a crater, Liu Wenwen got out of the car and glanced nearby, and found a pole made of some unknown material, standing abruptly on the open space near the crater.
"that area is……"
"Presumably American flagpoles. It is said that they used nylon flags woven in the early days. Most of these flags were damaged by the cosmic rays. It is estimated that there is a pole left ... open the action recorder."
正文 Liu Liu's face showed a clear expression.
当然 The damage effect of cosmic rays on nylon materials without special treatment is of course clear. After all, how to say that his education is probably the highest among the three astronauts. I am afraid that it is not only the nylon materials that are being eroded, it is estimated that even the pole is most likely to be brittle by the solar wind at this moment.
"It's already open. When I leave the landing module, I will open it."
He flipped a flag from the lunar rover and nodded his head toward Nie Yan.
"Really? That's good."
He looked at Nie Yan, carrying a flagpole on his shoulder, and walking slowly towards the center of the crater, Liu Wenwen said.
"What about ours?"
"Of course we have learned their lessons. As long as they are not hit by a meteorite, even if this red flag has been set up here for a hundred years, it is perfectly fine."
I waved the bright red flag, and then forcefully inserted it on the barren moon soil, and unfolded the fixing triangle bracket.
Looking at the flag that flowed like blood, a smile drew from the corner of Nie's mouth, raised his arm and wiped the moon dust on the mask, "This is the first step ... sooner or later one day, we will It penetrates the entire moon. "
Although it is just a very ordinary word, I do not know why, at the moment of hearing, Liu Wenwen, who was not far away, felt that the blood in his heart was rolling and his heart was surging.
Recalling my vision of the future when I chose such a professional ...
I recalled the vow I had taken when I signed up for the astronaut selection ...
"The moon is too small."
He looked back at Liu Wen who suddenly spoke, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Oh?"
He stared at the blue planet in the sky, Liu Wen smiled and continued to talk.
"The moon alone is boring. Sooner or later, we will insert this flag into the world outside the Kuiper Belt."
Hearing this sentence, Nie Yaner smiled, turned and walked in the direction of the lunar rover.
"Well, let's stop chatting and start working."
They are not here for tourism.
插 Putting the flag on this land is only the first step.
Besides that, there are many things waiting for them to do.
Uh ...
Time on the moon is precious.
The food, fresh water, and oxygen reserves in the Lunar Lunar Module are only enough to maintain two astronauts on the moon's surface for 48 hours, while each extra-vehicular activity only lasts 4-6 hours. Except for returning to the lunar module for resupply, eating and drinking Lasa, and other time spent meeting physiological needs, the time left for them to perform tasks is not very generous.
After 插 completing the flag insertion, the two continued to get in the car, and after driving a distance along the edge of the crater, they stopped in a relatively flat area near the ridge.
According to computer analysis, this area is less likely to be visited by meteorites.
Although it is a statistical probability, it still has some reference value.
After stopping the lunar rover, Liu Wenwen took the infrared beacon from the car as he had operated countless times during training, placed it on a flat ground, and then returned to the lunar rover to evacuate the area.
Soon, in a 127-minute orbit, a black square object separated from the Xiangrui, dragged a weak counter-jet flame, and slowly landed on the surface of the moon under the gravitational pull of the moon, agitating the dust.
After waiting for the flying moon dust to drift away, the lunar rover returned to this area.
After getting out of the car, Liu Wenwen pulled a special interface data cable from the space suit and connected it to the device.
Soon, a line of progress bar appeared on the screen connected to the arm.
As the progress bar completed, a simple control interface quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
"... Here is the Lunar Scientific Research Team. The planting unit has been successfully deployed and the device has started normally."
After a brief current sound, Nie Yun's voice came from the communication screen.
"Check the condition of the specimen."
"Roger that."
The total space planting unit covers an area of ​​15 square meters, and it looks quite spacious after deployment.
The core components are divided into two parts, most of which are planting cabins, which are used to cultivate five easy-to-cultivate crops such as potatoes and carrots, and a small part is a breeding cabin, which is located at the corner of the planting unit and contains ten mice.
Six of them, one male, one female, two groups of two, and the remaining four "single rats" were sterilized and lived in single rooms separated by metal fences.
As long as the electricity is continuously supplied, the gas circulation system can continue to work. As for fresh water and food, they will be sufficient for a year of survival without increasing the amount. If it is confirmed that the creature is dead, the whole device will start the freezing device, and freeze the death experiment to prevent its decay.
As for a longer time ...
I actually do n’t need that.
太空 This space planting unit is only an experimental model to test whether it is possible to plant crops on the surface of the moon to achieve self-sufficiency in space colonies and the effects of organisms on health under long-term low-gravity environments.
As long as one of these mice can survive for more than three months, the entire experiment is not a failure.
After starting the diagnostic procedure of the planting unit, Liu Wenwen's first thing was to check the health status of the mice.
Perhaps it was because they couldn't adapt to the gravity environment of outer space. A few white mice seemed quite debilitated, but fortunately they were still alive and they could respond to some external movements.
正文 Liu text is not sure if they can survive tenaciously, but still prayed silently for these little lives who dedicated themselves to science.
After confirming that the specimens are in good condition, he finally checked the operation status of the planting unit, and then took out the data connected to his arm and reported the situation to Nie Yun on the Xiangrui.
"... Here is the scientific research team of the moon face. All the specimens in the planting unit are alive. The pressure, temperature, and carbon-oxygen balance are at the standard level. No abnormalities are found ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Good job! Ready to start a mission . "
"Roger that."
I completed the deployment of the space planting unit, and the next step was to collect lunar soil.
For a long time, the lunar soil and lunar meteorite specimens preserved by the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been collected by remote-control detectors. This kind of lunar soil geotechnical specimen collected by astronauts is the first time for China.
Looking at the gray mountains and the moon, the text of Liu Wen, who was holding the sampling spade, was shining.
For him who once worked at the Center for Lunar and Planetary Science Research, it is too clear how valuable these things are.
Alas, this is not accurate enough. The value of these things cannot be measured with money.
If it wasn't for carrying limited weight, he would have liked to dig this area all over.
"Hurry to work, time is limited," put a set of powdery moon dust into the special sample bag, Nie Yan glanced at the positioner on his arm, "the next sampling point is a crater two kilometers away, We move faster. "
He returned from excitement, Liu Wenwen fixed himself with a hook on his waist, and then knocked on the ring-shaped mountain with an iron cymbal.
"I understand!"
