Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“It's cold in here. ”

On a dusty moonland, looking at the external temperature values projected on the helmet, a young man in a thick costume said with some emotion.

“Oh, can I freeze you in a suit? ”

Walking next to him was the captain of the engineering team at the Lunar Science Examination Station named Wu Gang. People in the engineering team routinely tweaked him, did he come to the moon to chop trees, and he himself tweaked himself as a contractor on the moon?

And indeed, there is only one engineering team in the entire station.

Everything that was thrown from the Moon Palace was unloaded, installed and deployed by them.

He repaired the solar array. He also repaired the lunar collision machine. It can be said that the entire lunar artificial facilities were built by him with the engineers of the engineering team, operating the space construction equipment, “brick by brick".

As for the one next to him at this moment, he is the engineer recently assigned to the team, Xu Chengli, who is said to have graduated from Jinling University with a master's degree in space engineering.

Because of the close cooperation between Jinling University and the Institute of Higher Studies in the research and development of space technology, this resume can be considered very fragrant in the space industry, so much so that Wu Gang doesn't understand why he came to such a bird-free place.

“I'm just saying, don't get excited. ”

Listen to the sound coming from the communication channel, Xu Chengli laughed with some embarrassment.

Because he just got here, he always found everything so novel that many of his teammates thought he had something to say. Many times, however, he himself did not feel it, but saw it as an advantage.

After all, on this silent moon, it is too difficult to hear a little human voice. He always felt that if he didn't say a little more, he wouldn't be held up one day.

However, the captain did not seem to agree.

“You talk too much. ”

Seeing herself seemed hated, Xu Chengli's face revealed a helpless smile.

“Well, I'll control myself to cut the crap... hey, actually, when I'm on Earth, I don't talk that much. ”

“… that sentence behind you is superfluous. ”

They continued to walk for a while and stopped on a flat ground.

After stepping on the ground with his foot and confirming that the lunar soil was strong enough, Wu Gang reached out and removed the navigation beacon from the backpack, skillfully set the efficiency parameters, and then inserted it firmly into the ground.

Until then, their work has been suspended, with the remainder waiting for the cargo ship to throw down the landing deck, then dismantle the cargo on top and deploy it correctly.

The two men stood in the deserted wilderness quietly awaiting the arrival of the cargo.

Time went by, just when Xu Chengli and others had begun to get bored, and hesitated to talk about something, Wu Gang suddenly said.

“You're only 25. ”

Seeing the captain actually spoke to himself, Xu Chengli hastily answered.

“Yeah, what's up? ”

Wu Gang: “Why come to this place? ”

“Do you have to ask? Wages are high, the same type of pay is three times higher than on the ground. And eat and stay, and work is not very intense. Six months of rotation, three months of rest, the only thing that annoys me a little is the high internet latency, limited bandwidth, and... no nightclubs a little boring. And you?”

Wu Gang was silent for a while and seemed hesitant to answer the question.

But he finally sighed and said when he saw the look he was looking forward to.

“The reason is like you… but I'm not quite like you either. I have a family to support, two kids to go to school, and a mortgage to repay... a piece of advice, young people still don't waste great youth in places like this. These jobs are for people like us. ”

Xu Chengli frowned: “How can you say it's a waste? Don't you think it's cool to work on the moon? ”

Cool?

What the hell is that?

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang was obviously slightly stunned.

Is that what young people think today?

He felt he was not only dying to keep up with the times, but seemed a little out of keeping up with the young people's ideas.

At least, in his view, there is no more fun here than a bare gray land and a circle of mountains with no sense of beauty.

“You don't want to talk about girlfriends? ”

“It's boring, I'm tired already, I'm still comfortable alone, I can go wherever I want, why bother myself. By the way, when you say this, I just remembered one good thing about working here, at least nobody hastens to get married when they get here, haha. ”

Laughing softly, Xu Chengli looked up at the deep, dark space in the sky and said with emotion, "Every time I look up at the sky, I think that the fate of the individual in front of the universe is insignificant. Don't say there's no heir to the throne. If there is, what does it count in front of him? ”

Wu Gang glanced at him.

“If everyone thinks so, we're already extinct. ”

“Sooner or later... I mean, standing at the height of time.” Looking at the electronic clock marked in the upper right corner of the transparent surface, Xu Chengli said impatiently, "Speaking of time, don't the people on the Lunar Palace have any idea of time? When exactly will our cargo arrive, and we've been waiting here for a while. ”

“Probably a little unexpected," Wu Gang frowned, glancing at the time counter on the helmet, "but it shouldn't be serious, at least no additional notice was sent from Headquarters. ”

Xu Chengli: “By the way, what was sent this time? ”

“Sample DR-111 Active Substance… I don't know much, let's not worry about the excess stuff, it's enough to do the work at hand... ”

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Chengli raised his head and looked over in the direction where Captain Wu's gaze pointed.

Suddenly a glittering green dot burst into the deep, dark sky.

As if it were a merchant ship coming from a distant world, the green spot gradually approached, flashing at special frequencies, gradually approaching the area visible to the naked eye of two people.

That shadow is getting bigger and closer.

Eventually, the broad chassis hit the surface of the moon steadily, lifting the rolling dust of the moon.

“Start working. ”

Shooting Xu Chengli's shoulder, Wu Gang walked in front and took the lead towards the silver and white landing compartment with the green light flashing over it.

“You're late. ”

Looking at the astronaut walking down from the landing deck, Wu Gang lifted his right hand and docked it twice on the side of the helmet, connecting his signal to his own communication channel.

“… it took a while to revise the track. To introduce myself, my name is Yang Xingyu,” As I coughed, I reached out and erased the dust from the mask, and the astronaut walking down from the landing bay explained, "Recently we are replacing the navigation system, nothing about stability, just wait a while. ”

Xu Chengli asked curiosity: "Change the navigation system? ”

“Yes, all of our computing services have recently been handed over to Starsea One, and you've probably heard of the world's first quantum computer. ”

Wu Gang frowned and said, "Is it okay to hold on to such a high delay? ”

“Delay is not a problem, and this part of the problem is said to be covered by an algorithm. And for a while, Sky Technologies will install an extension on the Moon Palace, and that will solve the problem perfectly. ”

Saying that the astronaut photographed the landing deck next to him, he continued, "That's the thing, I'll leave the deployment to you... I'm a bio-engineer, I don't know much about this. Can you contact Captain Ma for me if it's not too much trouble? I remember he was in charge here at Coco Station. ”

“He's already on his way," Wu Gang said, looking at the landing deck, "if it's convenient... can you reveal what this thing is? ”

“Nothing inconvenient, you will soon know anyway," Reached out on the wrist-mounted computer on his left arm, Dr. Yang selected the data to be transmitted and clicked on the send button.

As the progress bars were read, a project brief of about 200 words soon appeared on the mask of Wu Gang's astronaut helmet.

“DR-111 Active Substance… Metabolite Purification Project in Low Gravity Environments… Is This Thing-”

“Looks like you've guessed," Dr. Yang laughed and continued, "If the project goes well, it's not a problem to migrate to the moon on a large scale. ”

“Come on,” Wu Gang smiled slightly, pointing his index finger twice on the wrist-mounted computer in his left arm, turning off the project brief, “Except for some retarded person, who would come to this place where birds don't shit? ”

“Hey, what do you mean?” Xu Chengli said with dissatisfaction, "Am I insane? ”

Wu Gang returned to him with a “isn't it” look, then said expressionlessly.

“Cut the crap, you're still on probation. If you don't want to get hit with a C, get to work. ”

Upon hearing this, the young man suddenly shrugged and walked silently to the landing deck with the tools.

Looking at the young man's back with a smile, Dr. Yang said, "You can't say that. In addition to the meticulousness in front of you, there are poems and distances. Now all you see is bare land and bird-free mountains, but if you look more than a decade from now, I'm sure you'll miss the landscapes that have gone far. ”

Wu Gang: “You mean after I retired? ”

“I feel the same whether I retire or not. ”

Oh, I hope you can say that when you stay here for a month.

After looking at this Dr. Yang, Wu Gang smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He shook his head and went to work with the tools.
