"Our technology is not necessarily much worse than theirs. It is not difficult to build a lunar base as long as the financial aspects are in place, not to mention that we cannot make any concessions in terms of lunar resources."

Nibisen sat in the command and control hall of the Kendini Launch Center, looking at the information screen in front of him with confidence.

After several days of flight, the Orion spacecraft successfully delivered the lunar lander to orbit around the moon.

The lunar lander successfully landed in the predetermined area.

After more than half a century, I landed on the moon again, and I finally felt better.

After regaining his confidence, he also began to think about the moon base.

The resources on the earth are limited. With the development of human civilization, it is inevitable to turn our attention to other planets.

The moon is rich in helium-3 resources, which can be used to manufacture nuclear fusion reactors to generate clean energy. Its value to mankind is self-evident.

Today, there is no final conclusion on the ownership of lunar resources. After all, no one can develop lunar resources.

But with the birth of the first lunar base, the situation has changed somewhat.

According to the development speed of the other side, it takes such a short time to build a lunar base inside a lava tube cave. With Xu Yun, a genius scientist who is known as the most gifted scientist in human civilization, as the chief designer, it may not take long. Can have the ability to develop lunar resources.

By then, lunar resources will have nothing to do with them.

They have no reason to ask for the resources that others are exploiting, so who can't do it themselves?

What's more, based on the current trend, nothing will change at all.

In this case, all you can do is keep up.

Build your own moon base as soon as possible.

In this way, there may be the possibility of cooperation in the future.

Jointly develop lunar resources.

At this moment, Musk, who was sitting next to him, sneered. Although he didn't say anything specific, the look of disgust in his eyes became more intense.

My heart is filled with the desire to complain.

No one knows better than him the difficulty of building a lunar base, which cannot be solved with sufficient funds.

Without mastering advanced technology, there is no way to build a lunar base.

So Nibisen's dream is good, but it may not be realized for a long time in the future.

Sometimes he doesn't even know where the other person's confidence comes from.

During this period of time, he was thinking a lot about the moon base.

Even the focus on starships is down a notch.

Mainly from the establishment of the Mars plan to today's vigorous development of starships in order to send people to Mars, he just wants to realize his dream of immigrating to Mars.

But now this dream is still out of reach.

However, the appearance of Xu Yun was a change, which made him both love and hate him.

After Xu Yun participated in the moon landing plan, he quickly designed and built a lunar base, which suddenly raised the world's top aerospace technology to several levels.

At first, he wanted to recruit the other party, but who would have thought that the identities of both parties would change so quickly.

To this day, it makes him feel that maybe Xu Yun is the one who can realize his dream.

Of course I thought so in my heart, but didn't say a word.

Just look at the home screen.

Anyway, after this mission is over, the cooperation between his Space Exploration Technology Company and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will officially come to an end. The subsequent issue of how the lunar resources belong to him has nothing to do with him.

Who have their company focused on Mars.

But Nibisen didn't seem to notice Musk's expression, and then he actively turned away and said: "If we continue to cooperate in building a lunar base, how sure do you think we can be?" Obviously he still wants to continue working with space exploration technology. companies cooperate.

"The certainty is very small, and it will take a long time." Musk told the truth directly.

If he wants to emigrate to Mars, he must continue to research starships.

But there is no extra energy to focus on the moon.

This time I am willing to cooperate with the other party to land on the moon because I simply want to show my strength.

By the way, it proves to Xu Yun who is the best stage for development.

Unfortunately, the actual effect is not very satisfactory.

So no matter what Nibison said, he couldn't agree.

That is to say, because of the identity of the other party, I just responded with a few hypocritical words.

Nibisen had just gained confidence because of his successful moon landing, but when he heard these words, his heart suddenly became cold.

Once upon a time, they always maintained technological leadership in various fields, but now they are hampered by their backward technology. Although they are very unwilling to do so, they have no good solution.

So far, there has been no progress even in the research of space-based weapons, let alone the construction of a second lunar base.

After being lost in thought, he paused for a few seconds, wondering what he thought of, and then continued to speak.

"If we can use the other party's moon base, then our construction may be much easier."

And when this sentence reached Musk's ears, he couldn't suppress his temper at all. Even though he couldn't help but remind him: "With the current situation and relationship, I can't find anyone willing to cooperate with us." reason."

"I remember that Chief Nibison publicly questioned the other party's moon base at the press conference a few days ago." The last sentence was specifically addressed to Nibison.

At a press conference a few days ago, Nibisen publicly questioned mankind's first lunar base when asked.

It is said that this base still has many problems and cannot meet the three-month residence and scientific experiment tasks of astronauts.

The astronauts should be allowed to return as soon as possible.

Although neither the other party nor Xu Yun responded to this matter, it is undoubtedly worsening the relationship between the two parties.

He was speechless about this at the time.

Now that things have developed to this point, and Nibisen is thinking about using the other party's moon base, he can only say that he only wants good things every day.

Let’s not talk about whether important facilities like the lunar base will allow astronauts from other countries to enter. Just for the development rights of lunar resources, it is unlikely to create a rival for itself.

After all, if they build a second lunar base, they will inevitably compete for lunar resources in the future.

Nibisen is still brooding about space-based weapons. Even if he knows that what he did is wrong, he will never take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

Nibisen soon lost interest and immediately changed the topic and focused on the astronauts who had already left the cabin.

"When will they return?"

When asked, Musk replied: "There are not many tasks this time except sample collection and regular detection. Soon the astronauts will return to the lander to ignite and launch into the Orion spacecraft." He did not deliberately perfunctory because of the unpleasantness just now.

Unlike the astronauts from the opposite side who live directly in the lunar base, their astronauts can only rely on extravehicular space suits.

So stay outside for a long time.

But since so many resources have been spent to send people here, they must provide some value.

Therefore, sample sampling for scientific detection is a necessary task.

However, the time consumed will not be too big.

As time passed, and as the astronauts completed their missions one after another and were about to return home, Nibisen, Musk and the others were still sitting in the command and control hall.

…

Hagrid is an outstanding astronaut of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He is undoubtedly very lucky to be selected to participate in restarting the moon landing program.

After all, many astronauts cannot wait for the opportunity to land on the moon, and even if they participate in this plan, they have to stay in the cabin.

For example, his partner this time.

After successfully completing the required tasks, he returned to the lander, but his mood was still difficult to calm down.

Still a little immersed in the feelings just now.

But after seeing the teammates in the cabin, he couldn't bear it.

and sympathy.

As both astronauts, he knew the other person's mood very well at this moment.

They have obviously landed on the surface of the moon, but they are so close that they can only stay in the cabin.

This is indeed a pity.

Unfortunately, it is a pity that these regulations must be strictly implemented.

The purpose of leaving personnel in the cabin is to deal with emergencies. If an accident occurs to teammates outside, he will be needed to find a way to rescue him at that time.

If everyone leaves the cabin, the risk will also increase significantly.

The environment outside the earth has absolutely no room for carelessness.

It is worth mentioning that Hagrid did not offer any comfort. He just said something quite official after closing the hatch.

"Prepare to return."

He knew very well that this kind of occasion was not the place to talk. The most important thing to do was to ensure the safety of the mission and to leave and return to Earth smoothly before talking about other things.

Otherwise, you will be irresponsible for your partner's life.

Because in outer space, even a small mistake may have very serious consequences.

This restart of the moon landing plan is going very smoothly, and Hagrid also regards these as the result of more mature technology.

So I didn't think much about it.

But when he was about to restart the lander, he found that there was no response to the command input.

The lander was still parked on the moon without any movement.

"What's going on? Why is there no response to the input ignition command?"

Encountering this situation for the first time, a question mark suddenly appeared in Hagrid's mind.

Some don't quite understand.

But as outstanding astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, they have naturally been taught.

No matter what happens, you need to stay calm.

After taking two deep breaths in a row, Hagrid regained his composure and was ready to try again.

As for the failure of the first command, he attributed it to the failure of his own command input.

But as the saying goes, the more you fear, the more likely it is. The thing that worries astronauts the most happened.

The command input is still wrong.

There is no way for the lunar lander to lift off.

To put it simply, he lost control of the lander.

And such a thing is already a very serious aerospace accident.

Because they can't go back.

"The lander has a malfunction and cannot ignite and start."

Hagrid still tried his best to remain calm, and after reporting all relevant situations to the command and control center, he waited patiently.

After all, there is nothing he can do right now.

As for the other astronaut, he could not maintain his composure at this moment.

If he hadn't been wearing a helmet visor, the nervous expression on his face would have definitely leaked out.

Mainly because it was my first time to carry out a space mission. Apart from having no relevant experience, I had never encountered such an unexpected accident. To be honest, if it were other people with low psychological quality, I am afraid that they would have no idea what to do. .

From this aspect, we can also see more clearly why the composition of astronauts is composed of veterans leading newcomers.

In fact, not only the two astronauts, but also the personnel at the Earth Launch Center were also completely busy.

In addition to speeding up the movements of his hands, a solemn look appeared on his face.

To put it bluntly, if an accident occurs on the moon, there is a high probability that there will be no hope of rescue.

"How could this happen? Your Space Exploration Technology Company must give me an explanation."

Nibisen said with an unhappy face. He never expected that something like this would happen at the last moment, especially when he thought of what he had said before, he felt like he had been slapped in the face.

Originally, during this period, because of the lunar base and space-based weapons, they had become a background wall, and their authority in all aspects of the world was suppressed.

If there is news at this time that something goes wrong with the plan to restart the moon landing, it will really be a shame.

So he will never allow this to happen.

The thought stayed in his mind, and almost without waiting for Nibisen to respond, he immediately shouted to the people in the hall: "Hurry up and cut off the live broadcast."

Yes.

This time the restart of the moon landing plan was broadcast live.

Although the live broadcast picture is not as good as that in the Lunar Overwatch live broadcast room, it has also attracted a certain number of fans.

If this accident was broadcast live, it would be really embarrassing and embarrassing to grandma's house.

Fortunately, when they first discovered that something was wrong, the staff in the hall had already made various preparations, so they immediately took action as soon as they heard Nibisen's voice.

Although everyone's enthusiasm and demands have been on the lunar base recently, the astronauts have returned to the lunar base after all. Even if the Lunar Oversight live broadcast room has multiple camera angles, it is really boring to continue watching.

Therefore, many people have focused on the restart of the moon landing plan responsible for the Space Exploration Technology Company.

This also results in a large number of online viewers.

Perhaps it is far less popular than the moon base live broadcast, but the speed of spread is absolutely unimaginable.

Originally, this was a very good thing, at least letting more people know about their achievements in aerospace technology, but who would have thought that something would happen.

Especially being seen by so many people.

In this case, he really had no other better option except to stop the live broadcast in time.

However, this undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among the audience in the live broadcast room, and the barrage exploded in an instant.

Some domestic netizens who came here specifically to watch the live broadcast even criticized it verbally and in writing. After all, the Lunar Overwatch live broadcast room has been live broadcasting for a year.

There was no interruption in the middle.

Like here, the plan to restart the moon landing was not over yet, but the live broadcast was cut off without saying a word.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like you are deliberately playing tricks on others.

As a result, the number of comments in the live broadcast room skyrocketed instantly, and everyone was questioning the reason for discontinuing the live broadcast.

"Why did you stop the live broadcast suddenly? This is just the critical moment."

"What the hell are you doing, are you trying to trick people?"

"The astronauts have just returned to the lander. No matter how you look at it, there is no need to turn off the live broadcast at this time. We should really learn from the other side on this point. Their Lunar Supervisor live broadcast room has never been closed."

"This is completely unnecessary. It has been live broadcast until this point, and there is no point in turning it off."

"Forget it, I'll go back to the Lunar Supervisor live broadcast room."

"I always feel that the situation is not that simple. Could it be that there was an accident?"

"If there is an accident, it will be very interesting. A few days ago, this guy Nibisen publicly questioned our lunar base, and now they have a problem with their own spacecraft."

"At least give me an explanation of what's going on!"

…

The audience's questioning in the live broadcast room continued, but Nibisen did not dare to give any explanation.

Even if someone guessed something, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

At the same time, Musk was quite worried when faced with Nibisen's questioning.

At the beginning of the launch mission, a fault with the lander was discovered during inspection. In order to solve the fault, the launch was delayed for three days.

So much so that it lags behind the opponent in terms of progress.

However, he thought that there would be no problems after troubleshooting, but he did not expect that a serious accident would occur again.

While he was thinking of a solution, the company's technical officer Ter Blanc, who was also in the hall, had temporarily taken over the command.

Remotely guide astronaut Hagrid to operate.

"Please don't panic. Next, the command center will help you conduct a comprehensive inspection and troubleshooting of the lander system. In addition, please cooperate with us in some aspects during the inspection."

"Understood." Hearing the voice coming from the communicator, Hagrid responded in a deep voice.

that's all.

In the following time, the command and control center will conduct a comprehensive review of the lander system to troubleshoot the problem.

It's just that the final result is gloomy.

Looking at the results of the investigation, Treblanc hesitated for a moment before walking quickly towards Nibison and his boss.

As soon as he arrived, before he had time to report, Nibisen's urgent voice sounded in his ears.

"How is the condition of the lander? Can the fault be rectified?"

"The inspection is very unsatisfactory. At present, in addition to the engine being unable to ignite and start smoothly, the hatch cannot be opened normally from the inside."

"Whether it is remote command or two astronauts doing it manually, they cannot meet the standards to repair the fault."

As Terblanco told all these situations, the hearts of the two Nibisen suddenly sank to the bottom. They really didn't expect that this accident would be so serious.

Because this already means that the two astronauts cannot return to Earth.

Even if the spacecraft is re-launched now, it is still a situation where water far away cannot save the fire nearby.

If the influence of the mission failure on the world is reduced, the consequences will be barely acceptable, but the loss of two outstanding astronauts is really heartbreaking.

Nibisen obviously couldn't accept this result, so he asked again unwillingly:

"Is there no other solution?"

After hearing this, Terblanke just shook his head and did not speak.

But just as the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly depressing, Musk, who was next to him, seemed to have thought of something and quickly spoke out his solution.

"We have another method available to us, which is to immediately request assistance from the aviation office opposite to allow their lunar base to temporarily receive our two astronauts."

As soon as these words came out, the project leaders, including Nibisen, immediately fell into deep thought, weighing the possibility of the success of this solution.
