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

How to rescue an astronaut trapped in a deep pit?

In fact, the method is very simple, just a rope is enough.

Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin, who had been prepared for a long time, have been taking half-hour rest breaks in the past few hours to ensure their strength. Various tools that can be used are placed on the lunar rover and fully charged. After receiving the order, We were out of the cabin and ready to go in 10 minutes.

There is a 15-meter extravehicular activity safety belt on Dawn 3, which can be used to drag the two astronauts up without any problem. The trouble is to rescue Victor from under the rubble.

In the end, the task was handed over to Explorer 9. Zhang Zhiguang decided to let it go down first to dig up the gravel. If it didn't work, he would go down himself.

The straight-line distance from the Shuguang-3 landing site to the Blue Moon crash site is only 7 kilometers. The past route is about 15 kilometers, and the lunar rover can reach it in half an hour.

However, Zhang Zhiguang still controlled his speed because he was driving at night, and he met 14 on the edge of the hill 20 minutes later.

The two lunar rovers traveled along the proven safe route one after the other and soon arrived at the location.

Zhang Zhiguang saw the horrific traces produced after the "Blue Moon" made an emergency landing, especially the cave that was smashed through. It was at least ten meters in diameter and looked like the remains of a tunnel from ancient times.

Fang Lin carefully walked to the edge of the hole with a super-bright flashlight modified from the lander's searchlight, and turned on the light to shine inward. The strong light illuminated the space below as bright as day.

Koch and Victor, who were calmly recovering their strength and cooperating with the rescue, were startled, but immediately understood that rescue was really coming.

"America astronauts, are you okay?"

Victor was about to burst into tears when he said an extremely clichéd "how are you".

"Crab crab, nest wormwood fruit."

"...thank you, you're welcome."

Zhang Zhiguang used the light to carefully observe the environment below and found that the broken ground itself should be relatively weak. The place where he was standing was still very thick and should not collapse again.

The ground, which watched their real-time video alone, finally obtained completely clear photos of the accident scene, and handed over the screened part to the Joint Venture.

Claire finally saw the two astronauts completely. Victor was pressed by the gravel and only his head was exposed, but he still stubbornly stretched out his finger to make an OK gesture.

He immediately asked to speak to the two astronauts. Academician She agreed to the proposal considering that the rescue environment survey and preparations were still being carried out.

Dawn 3's radio communication channel was briefly connected to the Alliance Network.

"Victor, Christina, this is Claire Borden, how are you doing?"

Koch: "I'm fine now, but my strength is a little exhausted, but Victor..."

"Your Excellency, the first thing I want to do when I come back is kick Jeff Bezos's ass."

"..."

Victor expressed his resentment in a unique way, but then the quality of the astronaut prevailed, and he immediately began to briefly describe the current situation and the emergency landing experience.

Claire was very happy when she heard that Victor decisively chose to abandon most of the fuel and make an emergency landing after the engine stopped once. If he had not done so and tried to re-enter orbit, the lander would have probably exploded on the spot. Victor was finally The most correct decision was made in times of danger.

The various malfunctions that occurred in the lander were even more frightening. Claire couldn't even imagine why so many problems could occur. Any one of them would be a dangerous factor affecting life and death.

After exchanging technical issues, John, who couldn't wait for a long time, connected with the two astronauts. John assured them on the phone that he would bring them home safely, and believed that they still completed the moon landing mission, which was all Aramco's fault. Heroes receive special recognition.

While they were communicating enthusiastically on the phone, Zhang Zhiguang had already found a place to fix the safety rope and was tying the other end to Explorer 9.

After confirming that the rope buckle was firmly tied, 14 walked to the blind corner of the camera and grabbed the safety rope.

Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin found a safe place to stand. The geology here was unstable and there was no need for robots to put humans at risk. 14 took most of the risks for them.

Under one-sixth gravity, the mass that Explorer 9 has to bear is only 80 kilograms, which 14 can fully cope with.

So from Koch's perspective, an oversized mechanical spider hung on a white safety rope and dropped along the wall little by little, just like a real spider, and then gently hooked onto the wreckage of "Blue Moon".

"Ms. Koch, can you unbuckle your seatbelt down there and let the robot go see if it can pry the rock apart."

"I'll go right away!"

The call with Houston was terminated at this time. Koch climbed up carefully and took several minutes to untie the safety rope. The free Explorer 9 quickly and flexibly climbed to the place where Victor was buried, and started to live. Observe.

Of course, this was still controlled remotely by 14. It quickly found the most critical large rock holding Victor down. As long as Victor was moved away, he could climb out on his own.

It transmitted the automatically judged rock force point analysis back to the ground. Engineers from the base's robot development team checked and found no problems, choosing to trust the AI's judgment.

After Koch was asked to stand farther away, the explorer easily lifted the rock twice as heavy as himself on his hind legs. Victor, who was pressed down, climbed forward decisively. Other gravels were not suitable for him. There was another problem, and he crawled out in a few moments.

The center of the Federal Reserve cheered. Now the two astronauts are only one step away from escape.

At this time, Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin took the rope from 14's hand and walked to the entrance of the cave. The latter quickly slipped behind the hill and gave the credit to his human superior.

"Victor, are you still in good health? We are going to pull you up."

"Of course, I'm still a bully, and ladies first."

Victor wanted to pat his chest, but gave up the decision considering that the space suit had already malfunctioned once.

Knowing that every second is a risk, he immediately fastened Koch firmly with a safety rope. When he was about to lift his hand, he found that the explorer had already taken the lead and lifted Koch up like a princess.

"Hey, should we bring this little guy up later? He is my big savior."

"No, just let it stay here. Its heavy weight may cause risks again. We still have many explorers. It can explore the cave here in the future. This is a new mission."

Victor glanced at Explorer 9 with disappointment and wanted to touch its big photodetector eye, but the robot nimbly dodged it.

"..."

Koch was quickly pulled to the entrance of the cave by two astronauts. When Fang Lin grabbed her hand and dragged her to the ground, the first female astronaut to set foot on the lunar surface almost cried with excitement.

Her request to continue participating in the rescue was rejected by Zhang Zhiguang, and then she began to lower the rope again, and it took a few more minutes to pull Victor up.

Under the light of the searchlight, the bodies of the two Aramco astronauts were very dirty due to moon dust, and Victor's life-support backpack was visibly deformed. Obviously, they were not in good condition.

Without too many words of thanks, the best choice for the four of them now is to return to the lander as soon as possible. Zhang Zhiguang simply packed up and was ready to hit the road.

He shared a lunar rover with Koch, and another with Fang Lin and Victor.

While Victor was chatting with Fang Lin with emotion, Koch suddenly raised his question:

"Was Fang the first astronaut to find us? Why do I feel that his voice has changed a lot, and he seems to be thinner when I see him."

Zhang Zhiguang: "Ah? Really? It should be that you were trapped for too long and your memory was a little confused."

Koch: "No, no, no, no, the style of his mask has also changed, and the searchlight on his chest is gone."

Zhang Zhiguang: "I brought this to you at that time. He and I searched separately, and he found you first."

Fang Lin: "Are you talking about me? Miss Koch, you were shining a light on me back then, and you almost blinded me."

Koch: "But then I saw that your arms and torso were much thinner than they are now."

Fang Lin: "That's because of the light factor, and you are too tired and need to rest. There is no need to chat while driving. The driving is irregular and the relatives shed tears."

"..."

Koch had to temporarily put aside her doubts. In fact, it was because she was still nervous and a little scared.

However, in her memory, although Fang Lin's voice sounded young, the accent really didn't match. Could it be that her memory was really blurred? It's not impossible.

Maybe he really needed a rest, and Koch did feel a surge of sleepiness, and finally looked back at the crash site.

Then she locked eyes with 14, who stood up from behind the hill and prepared to drag the big spider up.

14, who had extremely keen senses, immediately rolled back and hid, but Koch saw the familiar green light, and the active infrared headlights were now turned off.

Koch was almost certain that it was "him", and there was no mistaking the thin white outline dimly illuminated by the green light.

However, "he" disappeared in a flash. Two Chinese astronauts were in the car one after the other. It was impossible for Shuguang-3 to secretly sneak three people to the moon. So who was the fifth "person" on the moon? who?

Why did Fang Lin admit that he was another person, why was "he" willing to save him, and why did no one see the flaw?

She suddenly remembered the Apollo 11 mission. In fact, Buzz Aldrin was the first person scheduled to leave the cabin.

In fact, at that time, the Apollo program also had an important task, which was to verify whether God really existed by the Communist Party and the Holy See. Baz prepared the Holy Communion (a ritual) in the lunar module and planned to read the Bible to the world. Later, the silver wine cup used in his communion became a collection of the common quarter meeting.

Could it be that……

Koch never believed that what he saw was an illusion, and there were only two astronauts on Dawn 3. The possible results were chilling.

Thinking carefully about it, there were many doubts at that time. The "person" was wearing a traditional space suit in the Shuguang 3 style, so why did the limbs not expand due to air pressure but instead look wrinkled? This doesn't make sense at all.

Why can they be found in extremely hidden potholes where communications are severely interfered with? And it's still late at night, so even Earth is in trouble.

The way "he" spoke was also relatively cold, giving the impression that he was far away and didn't want to communicate, but Fang Lin didn't seem to be such a person.

And there's more... After becoming suspicious, Koch immediately thought of countless doubts and became increasingly frightened.

There are only two answers: theology and aliens.

But it can also control the minds of astronauts and even Earth personnel to collectively tamper with memories...

Koch now desperately wants to escape from the moon and even develops a fear of it.

Even old Internet rumors about the Third Reich escaping to the moon to establish a secret base began to ferment in her mind, thinking that she must have encountered supernatural phenomena.

Zhang Zhiguang had no idea what horrible things Koch on the right was thinking, let alone that an excellent astronaut was hesitating whether to convert to theism or alien surveillance theory.
