#363 - Lying flat on the moon

"Ru Cun Dazhi, this is the command center, have you spotted the National Team's lunar module? Over."

Inside the orbital module connected to the Orion spacecraft, Ru Cun Dazhi adjusted the telescope's angle, trying to see what was happening at the National Team's landing site.

Unfortunately, after rotating a full circle, the angle was too wide, and the crater wall blocked his view, making it impossible to see anything.

"Command center, this is the orbital module. I've theoretically reached the farthest observation point, but the lunar crater's rim is blocking my view. I can't see anything at all. Over."

After saying that, he peered into the telescope again.

The command center was anxious and worried, but his emotions were much more complex, including worry, anxiety, shock, and lingering fear.

Fortunately, he was just a minority astronaut.

Fortunately, he didn't get the lunar landing spot.

If he had gotten the lunar landing spot, he would be the one whose life or death was uncertain.

A little over an hour ago, the National Team's module separated from the orbital module and descended towards the planned landing site. He first watched the National Team's module move away from the porthole, and then watched them gradually descend on the tracking device until the orbital module rotated to the far side of the moon and he couldn't see them at all.

Now there are many satellites in lunar orbit, so there will be no more situations where contact is lost when orbiting to the far side of the moon. As soon as the scheduled landing time passed, he was ready with congratulatory messages, but he only heard the commander's quality triple play of "Shit", "Fuck", and "Bitch", and then communication was cut off.

The last word should have been directed at Emily because, through internal communication, even he found Emily's screams piercing.

But he could understand. Something extremely dangerous and terrible must have happened to make Emily lose her mind. After all, even the usually calm commander was swearing up a storm.

Immediately afterward, the ground command center contacted him, saying that ground contact was lost and asking him to confirm. Confirmation from both sides meant there was no escape.

At that time, the positions of the detection satellites they had access to were not good. Ru Cun Dazhi's orbital module was relatively close and should be the first to rotate around and see the scene.

As for Tian Xia and the Maozi, they didn't want to ask for help yet.

What if it was just a small problem?

It would be too embarrassing to ask for help for a small problem.

If the matter was big enough that they couldn't solve it themselves, it wouldn't be too late to request assistance.

After all, the old Rescue Agreement, which is still in effect, stipulates that contracting parties have an obligation to provide as much assistance as possible to astronauts who have suffered accidents and to safely return them to the country of registration of the spacecraft.

Oh, right, speaking of this, the Space Agency command center needs to check the records. Their president is a 'withdrawal maniac.' They need to see if America is still in this 'group'.

If they have withdrawn from the group and have not signed this agreement, then they are not contracting parties to the agreement.

The agreement only applies to contracting parties. After all, only those who have signed the agreement will abide by it.

In fact, other countries with equipment in lunar orbit participate in every lunar exploration or landing mission. Although the equipment belongs to the launching country, who would they turn to if it collided with equipment from other countries?

Since location information must be made public, it's better to see a little more.

For example, if the equipment of a certain country fails, other countries will jump out to testify: "Yes, it did fail."

And attach images of the scene taken by their own detection satellites.

Of course, this all happens after the country concerned has spoken out. Before the country concerned has issued a formal statement, other countries will not express any opinions.

Currently, the organization with the most satellites in lunar orbit is Pathfinder Aerospace, so it is also 'fully participating' in this American lunar landing. Moreover, Pathfinder's detection satellites are very advanced, and the images they capture are clearer. It was the first to obtain videos and photos of the landing site of the American National Team's lunar module.

Such a major event must be notified to senior management, so Tang Chao was the first to know.

"Good heavens, is it just lying on the ground? Do we know the reason yet?"

Tang Chao asked Zhang Liyan, the general manager of the aerospace company, as he looked at the pictures and the video of the moment it fell.

Zhang Liyan was originally a rocket engineer. He was fine as a technical person, but he was not suitable as a manager, especially a senior administrative manager.

However, Pathfinder Company is not the same as other companies. Although it is divided into companies, some companies are basically managed by the group headquarters.

Pathfinder Aerospace is like that.

Moreover, aerospace doesn't have to worry about orders at all. Basically, it directly cooperates with the National Space Administration, and then it engages in its own aerospace plans. Therefore, this person is said to be the general manager, but he is actually a technical person, a 'general manager' in charge of technology.

Detailed management matters are managed by various assistants, and the general direction is resolved by Tang Chao, Chen Jing, or meetings.

The team tracking the American lunar landing reported the information to him, and he reported it to Tang Chao as soon as possible. Now, listening to Tang Chao say this, he explained: "Yes, it's just lying on the ground. The specific situation is not yet known, and there is no news from the American side."

"However, we made some guesses, and there are three relatively large probabilities. One is that there is a problem with the landing gear, the second is that it landed on a slope like Moon Palace II, and the third is that it was unlucky and may have landed on a crack."

"The first is the most likely because the National Team's lunar module is a rush job, so this is very likely."

"Hmm."

Tang Chao listened without commenting and didn't say anything.

What's new is that the first novel is published on the 6th, 9th, and 9th books!

Old Zhang is right. These three situations are very likely, and the biggest guess is basically true.

The problem with the landing gear is a technical problem, just like the original Yutu lunar rover. It wasn't designed well, and its mobility was crippled before it went far.

Although America has landed on the moon many times before and has experience, it is also possible that the experience is the cause of the disaster.

The original lunar module was only a dozen tons, while the National Team's lunar module exceeds thirty tons. It is possible that they did not consider certain issues when designing it with reference to the old lunar module.

Plus rushing work...

Now landing and colliding, click, broken, is also possible.

As for the situation of landing on a slope, Pathfinder is naturally very familiar with it. After all, as Lao Zhang said, Moon Palace II landed on a slope.

It's just that Moon Palace II is relatively sturdy, and the slope is small, so it's not a big problem. It can be regarded as a safe landing, and the length of the support can be adjusted slightly.

The height of the National Team's lunar module really can't handle a slightly higher slope.

As for the last crack, if it really falls on it, it's really unlucky.

Tian Xia Aerospace Bureau and Pathfinder have more than ten lunar rovers wandering on the surface of the moon, and some geological conditions have long been clear. Although the core of the moon is silent, the 'relics' it left behind are not few, and many cracks are one of them.

But it's not that easy to really fall on it.

Of course, if the National Team really happened to land on a crack, it would be normal to fall down, and it might overlap with the first possibility.

Stuck in the crack, then tilted, the landing gear supported it, and finally overwhelmed, click~

The height-to-diameter ratio of the National Team's lunar module is indeed a big problem. It is outrageous and has become the target of attacks by opponents competing for orders.

If it hadn't been for a flash of inspiration to turn the stairs into an elevator, and then do some private tricks, they would not have won this spot.

But now, I don't know if they regret taking this spot.
