I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

While Boeing and Rocketdyne were struggling, Isis 1 was moving steadily towards the Qom Crater.

Isis 1 changed from a Mars probe to a lunar probe in a short period of time. Although the launch process was smooth, there were still some problems with acclimatization.

The first is the most troublesome temperature issue. Isis 1 is not afraid of freezing. The low temperatures of the moon and Mars are within its initial tolerance range. At worst, it can just sleep.

But there are some troubles with high temperatures. A lunar day lasts 28 days, and 14 days of the lunar day requires direct exposure to solar radiation without any attenuation, which can directly exceed 100 degrees.

Solar power panels cannot work properly at this temperature, so the suitable working time for the detector is the time period when the temperature is acceptable during the "dawn" and "dusk" periods when day and moon alternate. It won't work if it's too cold, and it won't work if it's too hot. no.

The Explorer series relies on its flexible mobility and huge battery reserves to extend its working time on moonlit nights, but Isis 1 cannot.

The power of the isotope battery is only enough to maintain the activity of electronic components, so every bit of time that can be used to utilize solar energy must be cherished.

The JPL team carefully calculated the appropriate activity window. Fortunately, Isis 1 moved quickly enough and is now less than five kilometers away from the Qom impact crater.

Isis-1 has also conducted several sample drillings in succession. Although no actual ice layer was drilled, ice cubes scattered under the lunar soil were also found. JPL speculated that they may be left by the impact of ice meteorites, and may also be the formation of the moon. Did the ice at that time come from a huge ice meteorite?

NACA's lunar geologists are not responsible for the construction, and they are not required to go to the Qom Crater to compete with CASA for territory. There is a place outside the crater where there is little activity by explorer robots, and there is probably a very shallow ice layer. It took a little detour and passed.

When the time comes, let Isis "occupy a position" here. CASA will not let explorers drag Isis 1 to a place where it can't get sunlight and "freeze it to death."

Since the working location was changed from Mars to the moon, Isis 1 was able to send back stable images instead of static pictures. Although there was a delay, it was much more comfortable to control.

Scott is now the driver of Curiosity and Isis 1. It monitors the movement of the probe. This is a boring process that requires concentration. Isis 1 is currently at its maximum speed. If it falls into a pit, it will Sorry, but staring at the empty and desolate lunar surface is really boring.

But Isis One soon stopped being boring.

To the front and left of its direction, in the shadow under the crater, Explorer 7 is driving "Lu01" at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

Its high-speed processing chip flexibly controls the lunar rover to run over the lunar soil composed of broken particles like a wild horse. The lunar soil is thrown high and backward by the rubber wheels, flying high under low gravity like a ball. A sudden white tornado.

It is not moving aimlessly. The two "Laurel" resource exploration satellites that happen to pass overhead are tracking the signals sent by LRO to Isis 1 in real time, and then provide navigation to Explorer 7 through simple radio triangulation. The latter went to welcome guests from afar.

The error of the triangulation method is not small. Fortunately, the landing point of Isis 1 is public. With a little calculation, the direction of movement can be locked, and it is not difficult to find it.

Scott stared at the screen in a daze for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses and found a white blurry shadow approaching quickly.

"Aliens!"

The staff nearby also discovered this change and couldn't help but exclaimed, and then the JPL control center went into chaos.

Scott was also numb all over, and the approaching object was shrouded in surging white "fog", making it difficult to see what it was, adding a sense of mystery.

What should I do, are they really aliens? Does NACA have an alien contact plan?

In the panic, "White Shadow" slowly reduced its speed and changed direction to align with the still advancing Isis 1. The slender limbs of the "alien" and the outline of the lunar rover gradually became visible on the screen. .

…

The drizzle was misty, and the dense raindrops hit the surface of the hydrophobic material of the black jacket and slid down along the folds.

Lin Ju pressed his hands against his thighs and bowed solemnly.

Comrade Lao Lin moved to another place. The cemetery used to be for burials, but now he has moved the urns to the cemetery.

It's cleaner here and the environment is quite good, so you won't be disturbed by others.

Of course, another factor is that burning paper is prohibited in cemeteries, so Lao Lin’s photos can avoid the disaster of fire...

"Mr. Lin, it's raining heavily."

The woman's clear voice sounded nearby, and then with the sound of heels touching the ground, the black umbrella moved to Lin Ju's head, covering the rain that had begun to intensify.

Lin Ju nodded without changing his expression, and at the same time regretted why he didn't bring an extra assistant.

The assistant brought from the base was working at the Aviation Development Committee. Two guards stood at the intersection of the cemetery, with only one "staff member" from the cemetery beside them.

Such a beautiful and elegant cemetery "staff"? You just happened to add a WeChat account for cemetery maintenance?

Lin Ju moved his eyes away from the curve of the other person's body and walked quickly towards the guard. The capital was too dangerous.

Every time I come to the capital, I can meet all kinds of women. Even passers-by can often see the stunning ones. Isn’t this woman’s popularity ridiculously good?

Of course not. Whenever Lin Ju is in the capital for business, he can be seen in various scientific research institutions or offices, young female interns who happen to be here for internship, women who meet his father and bump into him inadvertently, women who are unskilled due to temporary secondments and often come to ask questions. Work situation assistant...

It’s not that Huazhizhaozhan is a seducing character at first glance. They all have legitimate reasons and serious work, and there is no deliberate element. At most, they are all kinds of artificial coincidences.

Many of them were nephews and nephews within the Aviation Development Committee, and the arrangements were actually made spontaneously by the older generation, but it still made Lin Ju a little overwhelmed.

There is no way, except for Lin Ju, most of the base's top brass have been "stable", and a few are making progress. Only the most important one can't see any progress.

Two and a half years have passed, and Lin Ju is now twenty-five years old...

In fact, he himself doesn't just want to be single, but he never has that heart-beating feeling. He is already in such a position, so he won't give up?

Should I just go find my girlfriend from the original world line? They had just met and decided not long before the time travel. Although they got together because of many years of loneliness, they were not mutually exclusive after all?

Thinking about it carefully, she is now... graduating from her senior year of high school in two months?

Forget it, forget it, you can't force this kind of thing, and it may not necessarily lead to good results.

Lin Ju, who was sitting in the back seat, was thinking wildly and suddenly asked Lao Liu, who had not been replaced by the female driver:

"Lao Liu, what do you think of robot wives? If a robot can wash clothes, cook and mop the floor for you, does that mean you can stop looking for a girlfriend?"

Old Liu, who was in his forties, was stunned and replied:

"That's good. You don't have to watch my mother... Ahem, I often watch videos on the Internet. They all say that no one will get married in the future. Living with a robot will save worry and effort, but it will take at least several decades. ?

Besides, who will have children if no one gets married? "

Lin Ju automatically ignored the last sentence and began to seriously think about his life steward plan...that is, the No. 2 robot project.

In what age are you still having traditional love?
