Earth Era

Chapter 116: Wreckage

The journey to the moon has officially begun. Perhaps at this moment, the name Houyi has its most appropriate meaning.

The spacecraft has been maintaining real-time information communication with the ground control base. Any details about the Hou Yi spacecraft will be sent to the earth for the reference of the controllers. With the full cooperation of ground controllers and astronauts, the Houyi spacecraft has been operating normally without any accidents. After about nine hours, the Houyi spacecraft, which had accelerated to a sufficient speed, finally broke free from the earth's gravitational field and began to set off to the moon in a parabolic orbit.

This process continued for another two days. After two days, the Houyi spacecraft successfully entered orbit around the moon. After that, the spacecraft will continuously adjust its orbit during the orbit, and the lander will be released after the orbit is adjusted properly. There will also be two astronauts landing on the moon, and the other astronaut will stay in the Houyi spacecraft.

During the continuous orbiting process, the Houyi spacecraft once again tried to call the moon base, but as before, the moon base still did not respond. In the images about the moon base taken by the Houyi spacecraft, people can clearly see that the moon base is still quietly dormant on the lunar land, still keeping the light, and at the same time no damage can be seen from the outside. So it was determined that the moon base had not suffered any damage during this period of time. Strong solar storm eruptions did not affect it. This undoubtedly helped to increase Zhao Huasheng's chances of survival.

At this moment, the head of state and Li Wei even had this idea in their minds: "Perhaps... it's just that the strong solar storm damaged the communication equipment of the moon base, so the moon base has not responded to the call from the earth. Maybe... After the astronauts entered the moon base, Watson has already prepared a table of meals, waiting to entertain friends from home from afar?"

"If the solar civilization is finally terminated and Watson is still alive, then the plasma life form that monitors and controls him probably has no threat to him. Watson should finally be able to express what he wants The ones who hindered it were spoken out. Human society’s misunderstanding of Watson will be eliminated, and Watson can finally get the honor he deserves.”

After a six-and-a-half-hour orbital journey, the Houyi spacecraft was finally in place. The two astronauts responsible for the landing had already entered the landing module an hour before and were ready, so at this moment the hatch under the Houyi spacecraft opened, and the landing module left the mother body through this exit. Start slowing down. Losing enough speed to orbit the moon, it began to fall under the influence of the moon's gravity. in the process of falling. Orbit adjustment devices and satellite navigation devices have been functioning, guiding it to the correct landing site.

The reflective rocket was opened, and the strong airflow blew up the dust on the lunar surface. Amidst the haze, the landing module finally landed on the lunar surface successfully. The originally scheduled landing location was a place 500 meters away from the moon base, but there was still a little error in this landing. The place where the landing module finally landed was 1,300 meters away from the lunar base.

This distance can be reached by walking. So the two astronauts in heavy spacesuits climbed down the ladder from the landing module and walked towards the moon base together.

The spacesuits of the two astronauts are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and video recording equipment. These devices will transmit the sounds and pictures they have collected to the lunar satellite in real time. The satellites around the moon will transmit these signals to the earth, and then display them on the terminal display screen and present them to people.

At this moment, there is a thick darkness on the display screen in front of Li Wei. In front of this thick darkness is the moon base that still emits light, and below are two beams of lampposts. It was the light spot reflected by the searchlight on the space suit.

Looking at this picture, Li Wei felt as if she was standing on the moon and walking forward. I am no longer far away from the truth and the final outcome of the matter, it is waiting for Li Wei a little more than a kilometer ahead, waiting for people to uncover it. But Li Wei suddenly lost all her courage at this moment. Li Wei was afraid. I was afraid that after the moon base was opened, what I saw would be Zhao Huasheng's body.

But the astronauts will not stop their steps because of Li Wei's worry. They continued to advance on the moon, and finally came to the isolation hatch of the moon base.

When the moon base was built, no encryption program was added. So the engineers quickly issued an opening command, and the door of the isolation cabin slowly opened. After the two astronauts entered the isolation chamber, they closed the door again. And press the command of inflation and pressurization. As a result, the isolation compartment was quickly filled with air. Then the hatch on the other side opened and the two astronauts walked through. Entered the interior of the moon base.

The air detection instrument shows the oxygen content here, and the analysis results show that the air here is suitable for breathing. But the two astronauts did not take off their spacesuits. Because no one knows what happened in the moon base and what the situation is like at the moment, the spacesuit can provide protection for the astronauts and help the astronauts resist the dangers that may exist in the dark.

The moon base is brightly lit, and the atmosphere here is completely different from that on the dark lunar land. But Li Wei's mood became more and more tense. Because Li Wei knew that the truth was right in front of her eyes, and the truth was about to be revealed.

"We are probably in the equipment maintenance area now. We will go to the living area to try to find Zhao Huasheng. If we can't find it, we will go to the following areas in order to search..."

The astronauts walked forward while talking. At the same time, the call system was turned on. So the pre-recorded voice was played and began to echo in the moon base: "Watson...Zhao Huasheng...can you hear it? If you can hear it, please answer us...we all care about you situation……"

Astronauts are constantly advancing. They first came to the living area. Entered the bedroom prepared for Zhao Huasheng. The astronauts checked in the bedroom and saw the quilt still wrapped in plastic, as well as some other unopened equipment and living facilities.

"We are in Zhao Huasheng's bedroom... But it seems that he has never used this bedroom. Everything here is brand new, and there is no trace of being used." The two astronauts said, "There is no room here. Any information of value. Our next step is to go to the restaurant and kitchen area."

The picture on the display device is constantly changing as the two astronauts move around. Leaving the bedroom, a hallway leads to the dining and kitchen area.

“We found some signs of use here, a little bit of food waste in here. But it’s degraded and seems to have been there for a long time. Just to be clear, there’s not a lot of food waste , and there are very few traces of use of kitchen equipment. It is basically certain that Zhao Huasheng has not used it too many times."

"We will go to the leisure area to take a look next...Okay, we have arrived at the leisure area. The equipment here also has no traces of use. It seems that Zhao Huasheng has never been here or used it."

"We are now on the way to the scientific research area. If possible, we hope to retrieve some surveillance video from there to find out what happened here."

The hearts of the head of state and Li Wei are sinking continuously, sinking into the bottomless abyss. There is a very simple logic, that is, if Zhao Huasheng has been alive, it is impossible for Zhao Huasheng not to leave traces in the moon base. Perhaps it is better if the equipment in the leisure area has not been used, and it is understandable that the living area and bedroom have not been used. After all, no one here stipulates that Zhao Huasheng must go to sleep in the bedroom, but the kitchen and dining area There are only a few traces of use that are not easy to explain. After all, Zhao Huasheng can sleep elsewhere, but it is impossible to make food without using the kitchen.

Could it be... Zhao Huasheng is dead? Already dead when something happened to the sun? It seems... Only the inference that Zhao Huasheng died long ago can reasonably explain everything that happened here.

"From the equipment in the scientific research area, we can retrieve the surveillance video of the moon base during this period, and hope that those equipment have not been damaged." An astronaut said, "The air detection equipment detected that there seemed to be It contains some strange things, like dust, but more like the ashes generated by the burning of some organic matter. Ground control base, can you help us analyze what is in the air?"

Before the ground controller could answer, an astronaut exclaimed: "Oh my God! What is this? What's wrong with this?"

Because of the angle, the camera on the astronaut did not capture the front view.

This exclamation made Li Wei's heart tighten suddenly.

"What the hell...what happened?!" Li Wei clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth tightly.

The astronaut's body moved, and he adjusted the shooting angle of the camera, so the people in the control hall saw the picture ahead.

It was a black wreck that probably maintained the appearance of a human body. (to be continued ~^~)
