Chapter 145 Driving a Moon Rover on Earth

Moon Palace 2 stood firmly on the surface of the moon.

Of course, it's a bit crooked.

Its landing place is still Polyd crater, which is the same as the landing place of Kanyue II, but the two are 26 kilometers apart.

Not far from them is the permanent shadow zone. According to the Tianxia Space Agency, there should be a large amount of water resources in this crater, which is stored in a solid form just underground.

In those permanent shadow areas, there may even be water ice on the lunar surface, which is not hidden in the ground. You don't need to break the lunar surface to dig it. You can knock it off with a hammer and take it back for processing into domestic water and rocket fuel.

Of course, these are still uncertain, and more data and information are needed.

Two devices landed here for this.

However, human beings have too little knowledge of the moon. The data shows that it should be a flat ground, but there is a 10-degree slope.

Fortunately, the overall situation is indeed flat. If the angle is larger, the landing of the Moon Palace 2 will be dangerous.

In fact, the landing of Kanyue 2 is not smooth, but it does not need to be occupied by people, and it is also small in size, basically does not affect the use, and can put two lunar rover into shape.

"Moongong-2" is different. It is very tall and requires people to live in it. There are also many precision instruments to ensure that researchers can directly perform experiments on the moon, so the tilt cannot be tolerated.

Fortunately, this issue was taken into account when "Moongong No. 2" was designed, so the landing brackets can be lifted and lowered separately.

At the ground command center, they just cheered for a while, and then continued to work. They just landed smoothly, and their mission was not completed.

"Unfold the solar panels."

There is a battery on the Moon Palace II. After all, the Polyd Crater where it is located has only 80% of the sunshine rate, and 20% of the time is in the dark. When converted into earth time, it is 27 days and a moon day and night, and more than 5 days need to be supported by batteries. Through the darkness.

The batteries are rechargeable batteries. Solar panels charge them during the day. In theory, four astronauts can consume full power for one week.

It can be used for 10 days after entering the general energy saving mode.

Entering the general... Well, entering the extreme energy-saving mode, that is, only guaranteeing the survival of the astronauts, the stored electricity can last up to 3 weeks.

Using the electricity in the battery, the camera broadcasted the unfolding picture of the solar panel back to the ground and broadcast it live.

Just to ensure safety and success, this kind of unmanned equipment is slow to do anything, very slow, and it takes more than ten minutes to unfold several large solar panels.

The command hall definitely needs to be staring all the way, but the audience watching the live broadcast may not like it. Fortunately, there are many cameras on the "Moongong No. 2", allowing the audience to look at other places.

For example, watching the beautiful earth from the moon is a live broadcast.

Admire the eight small cars hanging on the bulkhead, and all of them will be put down for a walk on the moon.

Looking at the door of the Moon Palace 2 from a relatively biased angle, this is where the astronauts will leave the cabin in the future.

Looking at the moon outside from the porthole, it is quiet and desolate, but it is the hope of mankind to go into deep space.

You can even look at the internal structure of Moon Palace II.

Because it was in the confidential stage before, it was a new load that was suddenly announced, so the various structures have not been announced to the outside world.

It just so happens that now it has landed on the moon, let you take a look.

The internal structure of the manned spacecraft and the space station has never been kept secret, at least part of it is not kept secret. Naturally, there is no need to cover the interior of the Moon Palace 2 from people watching.

When the internal structure of the live broadcast, the layman also watched the excitement, and the barrage was constantly sent out, and the insiders were staring at it, even the barrage was blocked.

[This bed is better than the steel frame bed in our school dormitory, I'm sour.

[Wow, the private bathroom is better than the house I rented. I am also sour.

[This porthole is so big, you can see the scenery outside clearly.

[What's so beautiful? It's so gray and bald. It's a waste to make such a big porthole, and it's dangerous. A meteorite will explode.

[Here again, the loquat in your yard is mature, so let your dad pick it for you.

[I feel that the experimental area is so practical, the equipment is very advanced, more advanced than our school laboratory.

[It's awesome, it's great, I want to live in it too.

[Hey, wake up, the foreman asked you to move bricks.

[I don’t know if Navigator will establish its own astronaut department and recruit scientific researchers?

[Actually, I would like to know that the Moon Palace 2 is owned by Navigator, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration bought it?

[The solar panels are all unfolded, and the camera is cut again. Is this about to start?

Ten minutes later, the solar panels were deployed, and the auxiliary system on the Moon Palace 2 went online. The balance was adjusted first, and then the data of each system was tested, and all were normal.

Since people are still unoccupied, some systems and equipment that require the cooperation of astronauts are not easy to test, so there is one last thing left.

Release the lunar rover.

Eight!

After completing this project, the Moon Palace 2 test mission was considered a complete success.

Under the witness of all the live broadcast viewers, eight lunar rover hung outside the bulkhead were put down one after another, and then they also unfolded their solar panels, turned on all the equipment, raised their cameras and probes, and started to walk far away .

Just now, the Moon Palace 2 has done a detailed scan of the surrounding ground. There are no big pits or big rocks, so the eight lunar rover can be driven a little faster.

When they reached a position, they turned around and took pictures of the Moon Palace 2.

Eight cars and eight directions, the returned photos were processed and quickly assembled into a panoramic photo.

Now there are two panoramic photos.

One is a panoramic photo of the landing site taken centered on the Moon Palace II.

One is a panoramic view of Lunar Palace No. 2 with eight lunar rover as the base point.

The audience who watched it were very enjoyable.

Then, six unmanned lunar rover drove slowly towards different targets designated by engineers and scientists, and there were two remaining, but the pictures were shown on two simple consoles.

There are not many things on the console, only a joystick, a few buttons and a full-key keyboard, but the pictures on their screens are not simple.

On the upper right corner of the screen are written "7 cars" and "8 cars" respectively, corresponding to the two lunar rover that are not performing missions.

[Fuck, no, this is going to drive a car on the moon on the earth?

[The signal transmission between the earth and the moon is delayed for several seconds, can it be controlled by the fast train?

[No, you can drive in this situation?

[Moon rover is so precious, don't play this kind of ah, overturn or damage one, how much does it cost?

[This is actually not a question of money. If one breaks a car, all tasks are delayed.

[Wait, did you forget that they released a few cars at once? This is just now.

[This...it's so special, right. Eight cars were released at once, and two were used for driving tests. It didn't seem to be too... wasteful.

[Gan, there are more cars and you can do whatever you want!

Lunar rover is really rare on the moon. Before last year, there were only seven lunar rover on the moon.

Including Bai Xiong's two unmanned vehicles, Merrican's three manned lunar rover, and Tianxia's two unmanned vehicles.

Meriken’s manned lunar rover is a one-time use. After driving several times, it will be useless to wait for their people to return to the earth. They are considered to be lost on the moon.

Only Tianxia’s Yutu-2 unmanned lunar rover is still in operation.

Last year, the private aerospace company of Meriken cooperated with the private aerospace team of Sakura Country to give away one. The number of lunar rover on the moon became eight, and two were in operation.

Then on Kanyue 2 this year, 2 vehicles were given away at once, turning into 10 lunar rover vehicles and 4 vehicles in operation.

Now, the Moon Palace II has completely reorganized 8 vehicles, which directly brings the number of lunar rover on the moon to 18, of which Navigator Company accounts for 10.

The number of lunar rover in operation soared to 12, of which the Navigator accounted for 10.

Gan!

A fierce batch!

In retrospect, the audience saw that the Navigator was going to use two lunar rover to test the manual control, they just wanted to say, "Go ahead! Drive faster!"

They have never seen a lunar rover on the earth, it must be very exciting!
