Technology Bigshot Chapter 303: : Expansion]


"Haha! Then I should be extremely honored! ...8 cans of liquid nitrogen, 4 cans of liquid oxygen, 10 cans of liquid water, 2 bags of genetically modified seed plants, wow! It grows ten times faster than regular plants? … ... Ang~! Mark is growing potatoes on Mars, and we're growing sprouts on the moon? Hey~! How many oxygen molecules does this thing provide? I think I'm lucky if I don't grab oxygen from me."

"Maybe one can save your life, mate. It's also a blessing to have plants to accompany you. After ten days, these seeds can meet the oxygen needs of 1.7 people and provide a lot of food."

"Really?"

Twenty minutes later, all the supplies in the airborne module were counted and sent to the trailer. The two entered the rover, filled with air, and took off their helmets and breathed greedily.

A short while later, the lunar rover was driving on the lunar surface with an unpowered trailer loaded with supplies.

"When is the next supply of supplies?" asked Arnold in the co-pilot.

"Not surprisingly, it will be 20 days later. These living supplies are only enough for 20 days, but for the third time, 5 new members will be delivered."

"Huh? To the late Armstrong!"

It took almost three hours to get to the airborne module, but with the lunar rover, the return time was much faster, the road was not difficult to walk, and the speed was fast enough, and it only took about 50 minutes to arrive Outpost.

When he returned, Blair was already waiting outside the outpost in his space suit.

"Welcome back." Blair laughed, then looked at Barry who got out of the car, "You drive to pick them up, the coordinates have been given to you. Arnold, you and I are responsible for building the inflatable space capsule. Get up and connect to the outpost base, there must be new space before they arrive."

Barry leaves the outpost again with the rover. Arnold and Blair also worked intensively under the light source provided by spotlights.

“Where is the inflatable capsule?”

"Uh, let me think about it, like at the bottom of the trailer."

"The bottom? Don't you know we'll be using it right away?" Blair turned to look at Arnold, a look of wanting to beat someone undisguised.

In desperation, after clearing all the supplies on the trailer, he found the inflatable space capsule, and Blair pondered: "You take these two pieces to the interface at the other end of the outpost, and connect them. ."

"What are you kidding? I can't lift it by myself."

"Isn't there a trailer? Stupid! No help!"

"That makes me look like a donkey."

Blair shuts up for a moment, finding that talking too much can make him lose control of his emotions.

There are seven space habitation capsules produced by Bigelow Aerospace. The two placed the ungassed capsules at the docking ports on both sides of the center of the outpost. At this time, they began to inject nitrogen into the capsules. , the inflatable space capsule is rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally becomes a capsule-shaped expansion with a ring shape at the interface. The cradle clenched the lunar surface, and oxygen was poured into it, mirroring the air in the cabin with the Earth.

After the first section was docked, the second section began to be docked. Repeatedly, the two finally completed the expansion of the living space of the outpost in 35 minutes.

The outpost was originally only 21 cubic meters, and each inflatable capsule can add an additional 19 cubic meters. With the seven inflatable capsules provided by Bigelow Aerospace, the space of the entire outpost base has been expanded several times. , the total space capacity also reached 154 cubic meters.

Looking down at the lunar base from the sky looks like a cross lying flat on the lunar surface. Shortly after the two of Blair set up the space facilities, the lunar rover has returned to the base, but the two of them are still setting up the solar electromagnetic plate.

"Wow, these are my footprints." Cork, who had just jumped out of the car, said in amazement at the footsteps illuminated by the lights. Immediately after he took a step, everyone walked like a rabbit, jumping on the moon's surface, walking on the surface of the moon under one-sixth the gravity of the earth, and Cork felt very strange.

Arihand looked at the outpost base in front of him and muttered to himself, "We will live here for a long time."

"How long?" Cork asked rhetorically when he just came to him.

Arihand looked sideways at him and said, "Until we reveal the secret of the 'glass window'. The specific time? The xp day plan is over." He immediately opened the outer cabin door and entered the outpost, and said at the same time: "Everything we use here is smashed out of dollars, including breathing oxygen and other facilities, and a kilogram of materials is transported from the earth to here at a minimum cost of 150,000 dollars. The budget of the xpday plan is 54 billion dollars. , but the budget is still very tight. Our owner is not the money monster of the xlous company. Although alphabet is also very rich, it cannot allow the plan costing more than 50 billion US dollars to achieve nothing.”

"So..." said Cork, who followed behind his ass.

Arihand hung up the space suit and grabbed a glass of juice to drink, "...so, we have to produce results as soon as possible so that Page and the board of directors on Earth have high hopes for us. The money can be spent. "Go up..." He raised his right hand slowly upwards, "Although alphabet is not richer than that monster xlous, alphabet is not a master who lacks money. So, we have to set off tomorrow to have a look. That 'glass'."

……

11 hours later.

"Cock, get up! We've got to go." Arihand was already in his spacesuit.

"It's still dark," Corker said.

"Dawn? That's 128 hours later, get up!"

"ok! ok! ok! Wait five minutes for me."

In the rover, there are a total of four people, Barry is in charge of driving, Arnold takes on the role of bodyguard in response to emergencies, and the other two are Alihand and Cork.

"The 'glass window' is 50 kilometers away, bypassing this crater, in this low-lying area..." Arihand pointed to the map and said, a plate of Cork was still eating a hamburger, watching intently Looking at the map, the four of them gathered together.

“The journey may be a little bumpy, but our rover is adequate for the road conditions on the moon, and it takes about three and a half hours to reach the destination,” Barry said.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high. It's a good time to steal chickens and dogs. Oh no, there is no wind on the moon, but it doesn't matter." Arnold said with a smile.

"Shut your stinky mouth, you're taking the most oxygen here," Barry growled.

Arrihand shrugs and puts away the map. The lunar rover engine started, and it drove out of the outpost base and went straight to the destination 50 kilometers away.
