Super technology leader

Logically, the accident of the National Team shouldn't have affected Pioneer's equipment, so it shouldn't have been related to Pioneer. But that's not how things are calculated.

No matter how humans squabble on Earth, in outer space, they are collectively referred to as "humans" and "Earthlings." Moreover, to prevent humans from fighting in outer space, international organizations have created various space-related agreements.

Therefore, according to the obligations stipulated in some agreements, if the United States is a contracting party and it's in trouble this time, other contracting parties are obliged to lend a helping hand.

Especially Tianxia, whose base is only 347 kilometers in a straight line from the incident location.

But coincidentally, the United States withdrew from the group in the past few years. It is not a contracting party to the "Outer Space Treaty," and it has not even signed the more binding and well-known "Space Constitution," let alone other space agreements.

This is interesting because, according to legal principles, other countries are not obliged to help.

Of course, there is also humanitarianism in this world, as well as private transactions, and the display of strength and the magnanimity of a great power.

"In this way, out of humanitarianism and in accordance with the still-valid space regulations, send these things to the American Aerospace Agency and let them take measures as soon as possible. If necessary, they can contact us."

Tang Chao tapped his fingers on the table alternately, thought for a while, and continued, "Contact the Tianxia Aerospace Administration, and at the same time, let our ground command center prepare. If the situation is very critical, we may have to participate in an interstellar rescue."

"If there is an accident involving humans in outer space, the aerospace facilities and astronauts of any nearby country must provide assistance. At the same time, this is a good time for us to improve our international reputation…"

"Wait, there's no need to notify the Aerospace Agency. They have already contacted me… Lao Zhang, you go and notify the command center to prepare first."

"Okay." Zhang Liyan hurriedly left the office.

Tang Chao answered the phone, and it was indeed Zhao Li on the other end.

While talking, he turned on the monitor on his desk, logged into his account, and began to retrieve satellite resources in lunar orbit.

"Hello, yes, I already know."

"Yes, I think so too. Then you let Cheng Dong and the others prepare first, and I will fully cooperate here."

"The satellites in orbit will be watching at any time. I am already planning the route. You negotiate first, and as soon as there is definite news…"

Tang Chao didn't know whether Deep Blue Origin regretted it, but he had already started preparing with the Aerospace Agency.

The American Aerospace Agency is now in a state of anxiety. They have also confirmed the situation.

The images they obtained themselves, the images provided by the Tianxia Aerospace Administration, and the images provided by Pioneer all showed that the National Team's lunar module was lying quietly at the landing site.

Among them, the images provided by Pioneer were the clearest. It could be roughly seen that the lunar module's displacement was not serious. It didn't seem like it had crashed down hard and then rushed for a distance. It looked more like it had fallen over in place.

If that's the case…

"I hope the lunar module is okay."

"I hope the people are okay."

In the American Aerospace Command Center, many people were praying.

The senior officials of the Aerospace Agency were all in the conference room. Director Jim put down the phone and said to everyone, "Okay, they agreed. They will meet in the form of a video conference immediately."

The people in the conference room knew what he was talking about. While breathing a sigh of relief, they felt a little helpless.

There was no way. They had lost contact with the lunar module for more than an hour. The orbital module turned around to observe the landing site once and then went away. Fortunately, Pioneer was quite helpful and could provide observation images from different angles, but real-time.

Moreover, judging from the relatively clear images provided by Pioneer, the state of the lunar module was not good. The direction it was tilted was exactly where the solar panels were pressed underneath.

It's unknown whether it's broken or not, but the power supply of the lunar module must have been affected. If the lunar module's power storage system was not damaged, it could still provide 48 hours of power.

Two days, at the latest, they had to find a way, no, they had to reach the landing point in two days to rescue the two astronauts!

They didn't have this ability. The only usable lunar module was lying flat, and the other two were semi-finished products. Other countries couldn't be relied on, but Pioneer's Benyue was parked in orbit, and it was said that the fuel was almost filled.

It seemed just right to fly to the moon in two days.

Of course, that was the most optimistic situation, only the solar panel equipment was damaged, but other equipment was fine.

No one knew what the real situation was now.

"Director, the video signals from Tianxia Aerospace Administration and Pioneer Aerospace Company have been connected."

"Quick, switch to the big screen!" Jim said quickly.

"Yes."

As soon as the voice fell, the figures of Tang Chao and Director Zhang of Tianxia Aerospace Administration appeared on the big screen in the conference room. They were also in the conference room.

Because the matter was relatively urgent, Jim went straight to the topic after expressing his gratitude.

Although the location information of lunar spacecraft is public, some internal data is absolutely confidential, so he first talked about the current situation.

Two days was just their most optimistic estimate. As for how long the astronauts could last, they didn't know at all.

Anyway, the sooner the better. The sooner they arrived there, the greater the chance of survival for the astronauts.

However, there was a biggest problem, that is, they didn't even know whether the astronauts were alive or not. The most optimistic estimate was that they would survive for two days, and the most pessimistic estimate was that the astronauts were already dead.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a big problem.

It is very dangerous for humans to jump from the height of three or four floors on Earth. If the angle is good enough, it may just be a fracture. If the angle is not good, they may die.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But the moon is different. Its gravity is low enough. Jumping from the same height, the probability of survival is quite high. If you are lucky, you will not even be injured.

The astronauts in the lunar module probably fell with the lunar module from the same height, and the Aerospace Agency knew that this thing was rushed, so they let the astronauts do a good job of protection when landing.

According to this collapse, survival should be no problem.

It's just that if the astronauts are still alive, why don't they come out of the cabin?

Just as they were talking, Pioneer suddenly came with news, Tang Chao said: "Everyone, the latest news, two astronauts are out of the cabin."

While speaking, he uploaded the video.

Turning the video to the big screen, the images of Tang Chao and Director Zhang moved to the side, and people could vaguely see two groups of constantly moving white objects crawling out of the collapsed manned module.

The original ten-meter-high exit was only two meters away from the lunar surface because of the fall.

Although no details could be seen, people immediately determined that they were two astronauts.

Then, they saw them jump two steps to the middle of the lunar module.

"They should go to check the antenna…"

The engineer who participated in the manufacturing work knew what they were going to do at a glance. Before he could finish a sentence, someone shouted: "Communication is restored!!"

"Quick, connect it!" Jim also shouted.

"Sizzle sizzle ~ Rescue, rescue, command ~ sizzle ~ center, Dazhi, can you hear me? Over."

Hearing this call for help, the people in the conference room were about to cheer, but were immediately suppressed by the director.

How can there be time for you to cheer at such an emergency, and even some people are about to hug and kiss, what are you doing, do you think this is filming a movie?

"Joseph, this is the command center, I am Jim, how is your situation now?"

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly after hearing Jim ask this question.

"Sizzle sizzle ~ The signal is not very good, because the antenna of the lunar module ~ sizzle ~ is broken, I can only ~ sizzle sizzle sizzle ~ hold it up to find a satellite."

"The lunar module ~ sizzle ~ fell, there are cracks in the manned module, the oxygen tank ~ sizzle sizzle sizzle ~ the oxygen tank is also broken, we used tape to repair it, but they are still leaking, according to estimates, we only have 20 hours of oxygen left…"

The more the lunar astronaut reported, the colder the hearts of the people in the conference room.

This is much worse than they estimated!

20 hours…
