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

"Mr. Spokesperson, were you the instigator of the izakaya smashing incident in Edo Prefecture?"

spokesman:……

As an external spokesperson, Zhang Lin told himself that the first quality of this profession is calmness, but this question still made him silent.

"...This is a fallacy, next person."

The next person to stand up was the one leading the reporter: "Mr. Zhang, please tell me why you rejected the Royal Physical Society of China's space station cooperation request?"

Zhang Lin: "This is because there are differences in the specific content of the cooperation. It is inconvenient to disclose the details. You can ask the Royal Society of Physics, next."

CNN reporter: "Recently, Lucia stated that it would open up free investment rights in 3 million square kilometers of multiple fields in the Far East. At the same time, there is news that there will be Lucia astronauts on the Dawn 6 mission. Is this a secret deal?"

You said you had a secret agreement!

"This is completely malicious speculation full of conspiracy. Please refer to the official content for everything, next one!"

"..."

After finally dealing with a bunch of messy reporters, Zhang Lin was resting backstage when suddenly a colleague ran in and threw a stack of newly printed manuscripts on the table.

"Brother Zhang, something big happened!"

Zhang Lin quickly glanced at the manuscript and instantly felt that his blood pressure was rising infinitely.

"Damn it! Are these people crazy!"

The content of the first page of the manuscript is very simple. It is the news just sent by Edo TV. The title is:

"Edo Electric Power Company said its sewage storage tanks have reached their limits and will have to consider discharging them directly into the sea."

…

Aitken Basin, about 1.4 kilometers outside the Qom crater.

JPL operates the Isis-1 lunar rover and conducts another 1.2-meter depth sampling drilling at the 17th sampling point.

In more than three months, the Isis-1 lunar rover explored more than half of the Qom impact crater, found shallow ice in more than 50% of the sampling points, and relied on detection equipment to map out A rough distribution map of the ice area.

This result is extremely exciting for NACA. Even if you don't compete with the Chinese for territory in the impact crater, you can still find enough water resources in the area more than ten kilometers outside. This is really good news.

It's just that Isis's capabilities are still too limited. Everything done on the moon is much slower than on the earth. Not only does it only take half the working time, but the work efficiency is also relatively low due to the size of the equipment.

For example, every drilling operation takes as little as 40 minutes for a distance of only 1 meter. It is not surprising that it takes two hours to drill hard moon rock.

Boris, who was on duty today, had prepared coffee and desserts early. Controlling extraterrestrial robots is a job that requires patience, which he happened to have.

Being the peaceful engineer that he is... "shit!", a low curse caught Boris's attention.

"They are coming again! (They are coming again)"

Before he could say anything, the young technical engineer said something nightmarish.

Boris's face immediately darkened and he looked at the big screen on the wall.

There was a burst of smoke in the black and white vision of the Isis, which was undoubtedly the annoying spider driving the robot to harass again.

"Is this Ami's detector? It's square and square, why is it parked here?"

At an altitude of more than 20 kilometers above Isis, Hu Dong held the remote controller and saw the stunned Isis No. 1.

Meng Senlin: "Hey! Look down there, they're taking samples."

Hu Dong: "Ah, are you here to steal soil from our territory?"

Meng Senlin quickly looked at the live broadcast camera and confirmed that it was turned off before saying:

"Calm down, calm down, Old Hu, we haven't planted any flags yet, and international conventions say no land is allowed."

Hu Dong: "So what if we occupy it? From now on, we have to surround this area with barbed wire and have robots patrol it day and night. This is our property! Every particle of moon dust is not unnecessary!"

Meng Senlin: "..."

Sure enough, Lu Ziye was from a private aerospace background. If their boss heard such "treasonous" words, they might give him a thumbs-up "well said".

It is now May 31, and Tempest has stayed on the moon for two days beyond its scheduled stay.

The living supplies are completely sufficient. In fact, it doesn't matter even if they are gone. They can go back faster than they came. They can return to the earth in more than ten hours. Their bodies can fully bear the two starvations. At worst, they can be managed by computers.

Someone orbiting the moon is much more important than imagined. The seven people have not been idle in the past ten days. They are full of various experiments and observation projects. Now they plan to go back after celebrating Children's Day for the children on earth.

Unlike the Advance, the quality of life on the Storm is indeed much lower. The astronauts who have been in space for 32 days have adapted to this kind of life and have begun to turn various tasks into habits.

Hu Dong and Meng Senlin's project today is to check the work progress of several robots in the Qom impact crater. Four robots are now "released" to continuously explore the surrounding area, and the other four are collecting valuable samples from various parts and bringing them back to the impact crater. The pit is waiting to be taken away when someone lands.

The two "Delu" lunar rovers are very useful. In more than a month, more than 400 kilograms of samples have been piled near the expected landing site, and they have been placed in this order.

However, one of the Lu's wheels crashed during Yutu 3's autonomous driving and was scrapped. Therefore, the ground-limited Lu's maximum driving speed for the next two months was only 25km/h, which was in sync with the new national standard.

Hu Dong remotely controlled Explorer 7 to drive the lunar rover to find the nearby Isis, and circled it twice, raising a large cloud of dust.

JPL immediately understood that the Explorer series robots were controlling the lunar rover. In the past three months, they have figured out the rules of these robots:

Although the space agency's Yutu 3 will come to "watch", it will only stay at a distance for a while and then leave. The Xinyuan explorers will "tease" Isis without caring about their lifespan. Although there are no harmful actions, they are very harmful. Annoying.

Both parties have a tacit agreement not to make these frequent "encounters" public, but NACA has always kept them in mind and will fight back when able.

After checking in on Isis daily, Meng Senlin left to test the reactor. Hu Dong immediately turned his chair and faced the direction where someone might come.

The cameras in the Storm's cabin are generally not connected to the ground at all times. This is due to Xinyuan's suggestion to reduce the pressure on astronauts, so the cabin images are offline when nothing happens.

Hu Dong quickly entered a series of instructions, then left the position as if nothing had happened, and lay down by the porthole to observe the lunar surface with an astronomical telescope as usual - everyone knew this habit of his.

He adjusted the lens according to the position he had calculated long ago, and he would be able to see it in about two minutes.

At the same time, Qianjunbang-1 in low-Earth orbit slowly used particle thrusters to raise its orbit to 450 kilometers over three months, and after that, it quietly announced that it had "lost contact". The base did not think that anyone would Go seriously look for a "test weight".

Now Qianjunbang-1 is constantly fine-tuning its lens to point it in the direction of the moon from a distance.

This is an ultra-long-range attack test of 380,000 kilometers. The purpose is to obtain the scattering degree and effective damage distance of ultra-long-range lasers.

Such a long distance, coupled with the difference in speed between the two, means the attack window is less than 1 second.

The target location was provided by Explorer 2. It has now been officially "accidentally scrapped" and has found a remote place to use its last remaining heat to make a contribution.

One of the several microsatellites released by the Storm was from a cooperative university and was equipped with an infrared remote sensing module. It can judge the power of the attack based on extremely weak temperature changes at the target location.

The distance and difficulty of the attack were too great. Hu Dong secretly spent more than ten days completing the preparation and correction work, and now everything is almost done.

He skillfully found the reference objects in the eyepiece, looked at his watch, counted 15 silently, and then quickly magnified the eyepiece.

The picture in his eyes immediately began to move at high speed. The moment the familiar position appeared, a light blue glare briefly appeared in the eyepiece, flashing past like an hallucination.

In low-Earth orbit, the heat dissipation system of Qianjunbang No. 1 worked hard to cool down the gas activator and at the same time entered a silent state again.

The 79th space laser test, completed.

There will be more in the evening
