This star is going to the moon

Chapter 432 Satellite Internet Communication Amidst Natural Disasters and Earthquakes: The Heavy-Duty Powered Exoskeleton Team Prepares for Airdrop!

After the two Mars rovers left the lander, it was natural to take "working photos," since Lu Yun had been involved in this process ever since he joined the Chang'e 5 mission.

In the previous life, Lu Yun did not participate in the development of the mini lunar rover, so Chang'e 5 did not actually have any "working photos".

Only Chang'e 3, 4, 6, and Tianwen 1 took "working photos".

(A classic photo of the Tianwen-1 lander and the Mars rover)

With Lu Yun's participation this time, the group photo session of Tianwen-1 was even more exciting, featuring not only the classic group photo of the lander and the large Mars rover, but also a group photo of the lander and the small Mars rover.

And a group photo of the large and small Mars rovers.

(I photoshopped a "family photo" from another image; there isn't actually a photo with this angle and number of images. The smaller one is "Hot Wheels.")
These photos have delighted netizens.

[Haha, I suddenly realized how adorable the "Nezha" Mars rover is; the raised camera looks like a robot's head.]

[The photo lacks reliable reference points and the angle is incorrect. In reality, the "Nezha" Mars rover's "head" is 1.9 meters tall, its solar panel wingspan exceeds 3 meters, and it weighs a whopping 240 kilograms!]

Wow, what a super strong guy!

The "Hot Wheels" Mars rover looks like a microwave oven with a selfie stick and six wheels.

[Your descriptions are so vivid! We now have two Mars rovers, the same number as the Americans, while other countries don't have a single one.]

It seems we're only ahead of the Americans; neither Europe nor Russia have Mars rovers?

[Originally, Europe and Russia collaborated on the ExoMars rover, which was initially planned for launch ten years ago. However, it was repeatedly delayed, first to 2016, then to 2018. Later, they even planned to form a "Mars exploration quartet" with China, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates for a launch in 2020, but it was ultimately postponed to 2022.]

Based on the information I have, this project might be delayed until 2024 or 2025.

Goodness, are Europe and Russia really this bad?

It seems the Russians really do have a knack for messing with Mars. They ruined our "Yinghuo" Mars probe, allowing India to snatch Asia's first Mars exploration mission.

Fortunately, those things are in the past, and we have still managed to reach the level of "second in the world overall," and we are the first country in the world to successfully complete the "orbiting, landing, and roving" Mars exploration missions in one go.

Hopefully, the two Mars rovers working together will uncover some valuable information...

The scientific objectives of the Tianwen-1 mission are to study the morphology and geological structure of Mars, the characteristics of Martian surface soil and the distribution of water ice, the composition of Martian surface materials, the Martian atmospheric ionosphere and surface climate and environmental characteristics, and the Martian physical field and internal structure.

Orbiters can only explore at altitudes of a few hundred kilometers, landers can only explore in place, and only rovers can conduct surface exploration.

The Chinese team built two Mars rovers at once, so they can explore in two different directions.

The large Mars rover should head southwest. Along this route, it can observe the parachute and aerodynamic shield, as well as the heat-insulating base further away.

Scientists want to know about the impact and thermal friction they experience as they pass through the Martian atmosphere, in order to provide more accurate data for future Mars exploration.

The small Mars rover will head northeast to gain access to a wider exploration range.

Of course, this also expands the scope of Chinese activities on Mars.

While the Chinese-made Mars rover was expanding its territory on Mars, Chinese people on Earth were greeted with another bombshell entertainment news story.

May 20th is also known as "520," so a romance movie called "I Want Us to Be Together" is being released today.

However, this movie isn't the key point; the key point is that Chen Sicheng and Tong Liya divorced.

The topic immediately went viral on social media.

After all, Chen Sicheng is a very talented commercial film director. His "Detective Chinatown" trilogy has grossed nearly 100 billion yuan at the box office!

Although both "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" have grossed over 60 billion yuan and have sequels, they haven't truly become a series yet, so they haven't surpassed the trilogy "Detective Chinatown".

This made Director Chen quite famous.

Tong Liya is a famous and well-known female celebrity.

Wow, they really know how to pick a date. [Divorced on May 20th, no need to remember the date for divorce anniversaries anymore.]

[Haha, it's easier to remember a wedding anniversary on May 20th, but what's the point of commemorating a divorce?]

[But why did they get divorced? They seemed like a perfect match before.]

I don't know, there have been too many divorces in the entertainment industry in the past two years. That's just how it is in the entertainment industry.

At this time, although Yunnan is located in the southwestern border of the country, with the advancement of the national "village-to-village" project, most places have access to roads and the Internet, so many people are surfing the Internet and eating melons.

At nine o'clock in the evening, some people were just starting their nightlife, while others were preparing to go to bed, when suddenly their cell phones and TVs sounded earthquake alarms.

Then they felt the house shake.

It doesn’t seem like it!

"earthquake!"

"Run!"

"Don't run around, watch your step!"

"It's only a magnitude 4 earthquake, thankfully, don't panic!"

"It's best to get out of here quickly, just in case there are bigger ones behind us."

"You're right, let me get something."

"Don't take it, let's go outside first..."

Nature is ruthless, and its power cannot be stopped by human effort; once it starts moving, it can cause landslides and earthquakes.

The earthquake was not strong at first, but it quickly rose to magnitude 6!
People couldn't stand still, animals ran around wildly, and houses shook noticeably!
Ordinary houses were damaged and collapsed, sturdy buildings developed cracks, door and window components were damaged, and roads were displaced!

Most importantly, the Yunnan region is mountainous, and some mountains have experienced collapses and landslides.

People in the city can gather together to encourage each other, but the situation in some mountain villages is dangerous.

"We're doomed! The internet's down, there's no cell phone signal, the road's collapsed, and we can't contact the outside world!"

"It's okay, it's okay. My phone has satellite communication. I'll make a call first, and then you can use it to let me know you're safe. It's just that the battery is almost dead. Does anyone have a power bank?"

"I have it! Mine is fully charged!"

"Great!"

Other mountain villages don't have such mobile phones, but they do have "Starry Sky" internet constellation receivers and emergency charging kits that were just delivered to the village committee a few days ago!
"Don't rush, everyone. Let's go to the village committee first to connect to the Wi-Fi and let our relatives and friends know we're safe!"

"Village chief, Erwa's house has collapsed! Quickly organize people to rescue him!"

"Hey, Lao Zhao, where's your bulldozer?"

"It's on the other side of the bridge, but the bridge collapsed and we can't get across!"

"It's hopeless, we can't dig this out by hand. I wonder when the firefighters and the People's Liberation Army will arrive..."

The local authorities activated a Level II emergency response immediately after the earthquake, and emergency rescue teams and fire brigades from the surrounding area drove to the epicenter with "Starry Sky" receivers.

But Yunnan is mountainous, and they knew that some roads were definitely destroyed and people might have to walk across them.

Fortunately, the fire department has several powered exoskeletons, which can be considered a kind of small mechanical device if they can travel over mountains and valleys to reach the scene.

At the same time, at a military airfield!

A heavy-duty powered exoskeleton brigade, which was originally scheduled to conduct nighttime parachute training, canceled the training mission, loaded some disaster relief supplies onto a transport plane, and then urgently flew towards the epicenter!
