Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 91 Here I come

This was the method the aerospace experts told Jiang Yang about to send him to the moon, despite his lack of any aerospace experience or professional training.

After Jiang Yang is launched into space, another experienced and well-trained astronaut who has also been successfully launched into space will come over and dock with the spacecraft carrying Jiang Yang. All supplies, fuel, and the astronaut himself will be transferred to the spacecraft carrying Jiang Yang, and that astronaut will be responsible for all subsequent operations.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Yang didn't need to do anything; he just needed to wait quietly.

And now, astronaut Li Hui has arrived.

"Jiang Yang received it."

Through the external camera, Jiang Yang saw that the spaceship was still slowly approaching him. When the distance was only a dozen meters, it briefly emitted gas, and then the two spaceships came to a standstill.

At this moment, both sides are orbiting the Earth side by side at a speed of more than ten kilometers per second.

The spaceship's hatch opened, and a figure wearing a bulky, mechanical spacesuit emerged.

He was tied to a rope, the other end of which was attached to the spaceship.

After exiting the cabin, he nimbly climbed to the top of his spaceship, removed the cover, carefully took out the modularly manufactured fuel block, pushed off with his feet, and floated lightly towards Jiang Yang's spaceship.

At this moment, Jiang Yang heard a slight hissing sound, as if there was gas flowing.

The sound was quite noticeable at first, but it quickly faded and eventually disappeared. At the same time, some of the previously dented areas on the mechanical spacesuit bulged up.

Jiang Yang knew that the cabin had been evacuated to a vacuum.

The ship suddenly shook. Through the external camera, Jiang Yang saw that Li Hui had grabbed onto a protrusion on his spaceship and secured himself there.

The hatch slowly opened, and Li Hui threw the fuel block in directly.

Ignoring Jiang Yang, who was hovering motionless in mid-air, Li Hui gripped the safety rope and slowly returned to his spaceship.

This time, the supplies he brought were oxygen, food, and drinking water.

Through the external camera, Jiang Yang quietly watched Li Hui, who was constantly busy going back and forth, his heart always in his throat.

Space travel, especially extravehicular activity (EVA) missions, is extremely dangerous.

Even under normal circumstances, with thorough preparations, one must be extremely cautious, let alone in this situation where everything is so rushed.

If Li Hui is not careful, or if there is any accident, he could be trapped in this vast space, and the Earth side would have no way to rescue him and could only watch him die.

Such immense mental pressure and such a meticulously crafted task would have caused an ordinary person to collapse long ago.

But at this moment, Li Hui acted as if he were doing something ordinary. Every movement was smooth and fluid, and the whole task seemed unremarkable and without any difficulty. Jiang Yang couldn't help but feel that "I could do it too."

After several such trips, the spaceship was completely emptied, while the spaceship Jiang Yang was on had extra fuel, enough to transport more payloads to the moon, as well as enough oxygen, water, and food to sustain the two of them.

After transferring the last batch of supplies, Li Hui finally entered the zero-gravity cabin and firmly closed the spaceship door.

Meanwhile, the other spaceship, under remote control from Earth, used its last bit of fuel to activate its reverse thrust and slowly disappeared into the vast expanse of space, clearing its path.

"Reporting to Earth, reporting to Comrade Jiang Yang, I have completed the mission of transferring supplies."

"Earth received."

Li Hui skillfully pressed a few buttons inside the spaceship. A moment later, the hissing sound of airflow reached Jiang Yang's ears again, and the raised parts of the mechanical spacesuit sank back down.

Jiang Yang knew that the cabin was under pressure again. Li Hui first took off his helmet, carefully removed his bulky mechanical spacesuit piece by piece, and then came to Jiang Yang and removed his spacesuit piece by piece as well.

Freed from the constraints of his spacesuit, Jiang Yang finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if his soul had finally found freedom: "Thank you for your help."

"Comrade Jiang Yang, you're too kind. I will escort you for the rest of the voyage."

"it is good."

With one more person, the already cramped cabin became even more crowded. But having freed himself from the constraints of the spacesuit, Jiang Yang actually felt a bit more relaxed.

For the rest of the time, Jiang Yang became a spectator.

He watched as Li Hui checked various readings every now and then, constantly exchanging professional questions with the Earth team, receiving instructions and executing related operations.

A thought suddenly popped into Jiang Yang's mind: "This is indeed very complicated, and it cannot be mastered in a short time."

About two more hours later, Li Hui looked at Jiang Yang and said, "We need to change course now."

"it is good."

Jiang Yang grabbed the handle and floated to the bottom of the cabin to secure himself.

A moment later, the cabin suddenly shook, and a faint sense of gravity enveloped his entire body.

The hem of clothing, arms, and other parts that were originally "floating" as if in water were suddenly pressed down to the floor.

The gravity lasted for less than a minute before disappearing, and Jiang Yang's body began to float again.

Li Hui got up, quickly checked some parameters, and then breathed a sigh of relief, reporting to the Earth side: "The first orbital change has been completed."

"Earth received, wish you a safe journey."

Li Hui looked at Jiang Yang again: "All we need to do now is wait."

Jiang Yang nodded silently.

He knew that the spaceship had now entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit and had truly embarked on its journey to the moon.

He looked up at the Earth captured by the external camera on the screen and saw that the Earth seemed to have shrunk a little.

At this stage, every second that passes, the distance between myself and the Earth increases by more than ten kilometers.

He stayed in the cabin like that, sleeping when he was tired, eating when he was hungry, and staring at the earth in a daze when he was awake.

Anyway, Li Hui handles all the operations inside the cabin, so there's no need for me to do it myself.

So he clearly watched the Earth get smaller and smaller, from occupying the entire field of vision to becoming a millstone, then a basketball, a football, and finally the size of a volleyball.

The external camera gradually shifted its orientation.

Then a massive planet that occupied half the field of view, with a clearly visible gray-white surface and numerous impact craters and ring mountains, appeared on the screen.

Looking at this enormous planet, a thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Yang's mind.

"Moon, I'm here..."
