Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 556 Temporary Lunar Base
"Wow--"

Everyone looked up and saw their hometown, which was nearly 400,000 kilometers away.

The view of Earth from the Moon is vastly different from the view of the Moon from Earth. They can even see the layers of clouds, continents, oceans, and even forests and deserts on Earth.

"How beautiful!" exclaimed one of the female astronauts.

Another male engineer took out a camera and began recording his daily work. The first shot he took was of his hometown in the distance.

Yun Yang didn't disturb their visit, because he was looking around himself.

However, he recovered much faster than the astronauts. He released his flying sword, swept it across the moon, and the sword plowed out a flat area of ​​several thousand square meters on the lunar surface.

Then he patted the gourd, and a series of containers were released, lined up one by one according to their numbers, almost forming a container camp.

"This is the place we agreed to set up camp before," Yun Yang said to Professor Wang, who was leading the group. "Do you need me to help you clear out a flat area for your settlement?"

Professor Wang stared at the flat area in front of him where the shipping containers were placed and fell silent.

A man next to him reached up and covered his forehead, but could only cover it with his helmet. "We even brought a suspension frame."

The lunar surface is uneven, so they certainly wouldn't spend their time and energy leveling it, and terraforming the moon wasn't their top priority.

Therefore, the construction of lunar bases is basically based on suspended designs similar to scientific research stations.

Professor Wang thought for a moment and nodded, "Building a base on flat land would be much more convenient, so I'll have to trouble Daoist Yunyang."

"It's nothing." Yun Yang waved his hand. "Could you circle the approximate sizes of the temporary and official bases for me?"

So some astronauts opened containers one through three to unload the cargo, while Professor Wang led Yunyang to mark out two areas of land nearby.

Before the astronauts had finished unloading the cargo, Yunyang had already leveled the ground.

Everyone, "..."

Then they saw Yun Yang wave his hand, and the remaining goods in the container flew out one by one and were placed around the temporary base.

"You handle the details. If you need any help, just let me know," Yun Yang said with a smile.

With Yunyang's help, the temporary base, which would normally take ten hours to build, was completed in just one hour.

Moreover, although it is called a temporary base, the area is actually quite large. After all, it needs to meet the rest and living needs of thirty astronauts, isolate them from the extreme lunar environment, and also have basic oxygen production, power generation, scientific research, and subsequent construction capabilities.

The living quarters alone are larger than the Great Luo Palace that Gu Zhao built before, and a large area is covered with solar photovoltaic panels, which reflect light under the sun.

The area of ​​this building is large enough for people on Earth to observe them.

……

Yandu, the aerospace base.

"Signal established! Temporary lunar base construction complete!"

On the large screen, the exterior of the temporary lunar base was displayed, along with images of dozens of astronauts and Yun Yang.

As soon as the operator at the aerospace base made the announcement, enthusiastic applause rang out throughout the base's main hall.

Academician Li stood behind the operator, looking at the big screen with a face full of satisfaction and envy.

The satellite staff next to them cut out a section on the left side of the large screen, displaying high-definition satellite images of the lunar surface.

"Not only the temporary lunar base, but also the solar photovoltaic panels have been installed, the power supply for the temporary base has been guaranteed, and all subsequent work is ready."

"That was fast!" someone exclaimed. "Master Yunyang helped," a staff member said with a smile.

"The temporary lunar base requests a call!" the operator said.

Dean Li put on the headset and announced, "Connect!"

The next moment, Dean Li and the relevant personnel heard a hissing sound of electricity, followed by Professor Wang's excited voice.

"Calling Yandu Space Base! I have arrived on the moon and, with the help of Daoist Yunyang, have completed the construction of the temporary lunar base, thus completing the mission ahead of schedule!"

"Received from Yandu Aerospace Base. Thank you for your hard work!"

A clear and excited female voice came through the headset, "We didn't work hard at all, we were just bystanders, at most we lent a hand."

The staff at the space base all looked on with envy.

What does it mean to win without effort? This is what it means to win without effort!

Without having to endure the pressure of acceleration and deceleration during a spacecraft ride, and without having to suffer the physical torment of a long journey, they arrived at the moon so easily.

Although the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth, it is still present and far less harmful to the body than the near-total weightlessness of the Tiangong space station. Moreover, the official base has a dedicated gravity chamber.

In theory, they could stay on the moon for far longer than on the Tiangong space station.

"It's still quite a distance from here to the Moon Palace, so we can't get there for now. But we plan to make a special trip to the Moon Palace to offer incense after the lunar base is completed."

Professor Wang said with a smile, "Now that we've arrived on the moon, we should at least pay our respects to the Moon Goddess Chang'e and the Moon Goddess."

Dean Li shook his head and chuckled, but this was something they had already discussed beforehand.

……

After the call ended, the astronauts at the temporary base began preparing dinner. Professor Wang invited Yunyang to join them, and Yunyang, not being polite and genuinely curious, followed them back to the temporary base.

Although it carries the word "temporary," the technology of the temporary base is by no means low. The base cabin and the space capsule of the Tiangong space station are actually the same thing.

The multi-layered sealing, independent space, connected to the oxygen generation room, and various high-tech equipment dazzled Yunyang.

Then he saw the dinner the astronauts had prepared.

"Wow, they even have barbecue?"

"Grilled chicken wings, grilled steak, grilled corn, grilled chives," someone introduced. "In a microgravity environment, the grilled food is tender and retains moisture, becoming crispy and fragrant. This is an excellent taste that has been verified on the Tiangong space station."

"It's a pity that although the moon's gravity is not as strong as Earth's, it is still stronger than that of the space station. I wonder if it can still retain some of the flavor of the barbecue on the space station." Someone said with a hint of regret.

"You're getting a good deal and then acting innocent. Don't let the people at the space base on Earth hear you," someone nearby joked.

Then they heard the voices of ground-based aerospace base staff in their earpieces, "Brother, we can hear it. The base's monitoring is running in real time. I know you're just showing off, but please stop."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Professor Wang came in from the side and said, "Keeping this anecdote is not only of scientific value, but also of great commemorative significance."

What is its commemorative significance?

"Of course, it's to commemorate the taste they can never experience on Earth!"
