Technology Bigshot Chapter 300: : Back of the Moon]
Ren Hong just reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Sean Victor and Elon Musk, far away from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA. It was already 1:29 a.m. local time, but the vast majority of the entire air force base had not slept.
At 1:37 a.m. local time, the launch site of the entire air force base was illuminated by firelight, and a launch vehicle slowly lifted into the sky. This rocket carried up to 47 tons of cargo worth 6.9 billion US dollars, and there was not a single astronaut. , the delivered materials have the google logo impressively. It is worth mentioning that it will not be docked with the only space station currently in orbit. After arriving at the high-altitude parking orbit of the earth, it will go straight to the moon after readjusting and setting a course after a circle.
The fourth day. The 15th China-US Entrepreneurs Roundtable has been successfully concluded, Ren Hong is still staying in the United States, and the Chinese representative will remain in the United States for up to four days after the summit. The current head of the company, Larry Page, returned to the company headquarters for the first time.
……
As early as 14 days ago, the sensational Google p sun landing plan successfully entered the far side of the moon 14 days ago. Humans once again set foot on this planet and left new footprints back to the earth.
At this moment, the moon is in orbit.
On the orbiting platform, there are four members of the google spacecraft that is orbiting the moon. The others are on the far side of the moon at this moment. Those astronauts are pioneering the establishment of outposts on the far side of the moon.
The google spacecraft orbiting the moon is the fifth-generation spacecraft "Dragon-5b" spacecraft provided by SpaceX. In fact, he led the investment in the company twice during the company's development, and has been following the investment every time the company raises money. It can be said that he is one of the major shareholders.
Outer space is dark, out of reach and as if within reach, without the shield of the earth's atmosphere, the galaxies scattered in the sky are unobstructed, and the colors of the major galaxies are all introduced into the eyes, in the overwhelming darkness It is so beautiful in it. Inside the spacecraft, a member of the crew watched the outer space through the spacecraft's window cabin and was amazed, "It's extremely beautiful, but it's extremely dangerous."
His name is Cock. Tykovic, he is an Egyptian-American. To be precise, his other identity is one of the top linguists in the world today. He has worked at Google for eight years. He also joined the plan.
"Honestly, Arihand, I never thought in my life that I'd be able to step into space, or even land on the moon, in my lifetime. I've entered the pyramids of Egypt, deciphered Mayan secrets, and even touched many numbers. The pictures, texts and unsolved mysteries left behind ten thousand years ago, but I never thought that there really are aliens in this world, and even I might... No, I'm about to decipher the language of aliens, oh, I God." He said to himself, getting more and more excited, "Arihand, when can we officially land on the moon, when can we go and see..." The excited Corker said, He took out a picture, which was a mysterious unnatural hook that was photographed, "...When will you go and see what's in that glass window."
"Wait for the rover to arrive. We can't walk past the outpost, and the oxygen supply won't allow us to go one-third of the way beyond our destination," Arihand replied.
In the cabin, a muscular astronaut was controlling the instruments and equipment. Hearing the words, he said to himself: "Compared to finding those **** aliens, I am more concerned that there is only one left here. When will the supplies come for the next three days? The outpost below has food for another day for them to eat. Ha! Potatoes can’t be grown on the moon.”
"Haha~! You mean the old movie "The Martian"? Too many bugs."
There were bursts of laughter in the spaceship, and these people looked relaxed.
"Cork, how does life in space feel like?" Astronaut Clark chats.
"Except for the extreme discomfort of the acceleration, the rest is good, very good, this will definitely be the most unforgettable journey in my life." Corker said, I saw him take out a generation of drinks, squeeze out a pile of liquid, suddenly Suspended in front of him as a liquid sphere, the pale blue liquid formed the most complete sphere in space, and Cork's mouth approached and inhaled.
"Ha, I'm getting more and more skilled." Arihand laughed when he saw this.
"It's called survival instinct." Cork smiled, then closed the drink bag and put it aside.
"Okay, our supplies are here." The astronaut Clark in the driver's seat said, and immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the seat. "Androni, take over control of the spacecraft."
When he heard this, Corker moved his body and floated to another window hatch. He looked out the window and saw the approaching man-made celestial body. Although it was the size of an ant, it could already be seen with the naked eye. It's slowing down.
"Remember, Corker! Sit tight and don't fiddle with the instrument. It's best not to touch any button." The astronaut, already in his spacesuit, turned around as he walked to another hatch. Looking at Cork, said.
He smiled and stopped talking nonsense. He walked to the other end of the hatch, closed the hatch, and the air pressure in the closed independent cabin plummeted. After a while, astronaut Clark opened another hatch, a cable Buckled the lower abdomen, and then slowly floated out of the spacecraft and entered the spacewalk. He was outside the spaceship, staring straight ahead. At this moment, far in the direction of the spaceship's flanks, he could already see with the naked eye that the supply cabin from the earth was flying toward the spaceship.
"Oh, that's a big guy, enough to feed us for four or five months," he muttered as he looked at the supply bay.
"Actually, one-third of the rover, one-third of the fuel supply, and one-third of the other probes." Androni's laughter sounded in his communicator.
"And what about the food?" Clark asked.
"Eat? Haha, it's no longer light, it should be a little bit by the way." Androni replied.
"Damn, wish I had a bottle of Taiping Island wine by the way." Clark.
"Ha! Just kidding, this time the subsistence supply is enough for seven of us for 20 days, but you don't have a drop of the wine you want, let alone Taiping Island wine, you want to drink it back to Earth."
For a while, as time went on, the supply module got closer and closer, Clark also put away his leisure mentality, "Prepare to rendezvous and docking, if there is a problem, the docking fails, and we all have to freeze and starve to death on the moon. "
This is definitely not a joke. Everyone immediately calmed down when they heard it. Cork also remained silent, quietly looking at the approaching supply cabin outside the window cabin.
The supply module is actually divided into two parts, in which the rover is loaded in a separate compartment, which will eventually separate and send the rover to the lunar surface, the outpost where the far side of the moon is located.
Clark came to the docking hatch. At this moment, the supply cabin and the google dragon spacecraft were in a state of relative flight. The docking hatch of the supply cabin and the spacecraft was slowly approaching, and Clark on the side held his breath. Watching, controlling.
"Docking completed." Androni said, staring at the display panel.
"Okay, everyone, you can worry about food for next month." Clark chuckled, and there was a sparse cheer from the spacecraft.
At this moment, Clark, who was spacewalking, came to another hatch of the supply cabin, and opened the hatch to enter the cabin, only to see that he pulled the cable to separate from himself, "Androni, retract the cable. "
"Understood."
The entrance to the outer cabin of the supply cabin was closed. Clark looked at the display device and made sure the air pressure was stable. After a while, he put on his helmet, opened the inner cabin door and walked in. After looking around, he shouted in the communicator. Said: "I need someone to come and count the materials, equipment, and test the lunar rover. The No. 3 module will leave the spacecraft in 5 hours and be sent to the lunar surface outpost. Alihand, you should also prepare, in 7 hours you guys will land on the moon."
"I've been preparing for half a month, just wait for this moment!"
