Chapter 103 The Moon Mining Project is Ready to Start
United States.
Houston Ground Command Center.
The moment I heard the sound from Mars, there was thunderous applause from the entire Houston command center!
"God bless Milijah!"
Looking at a scientific researcher standing up in front of him and applauded hard, Professor Chris's eyes burst into tears and muttered to himself.
A relaxed smile appeared on Director Malton's face.
His position as director has been saved!
Professor Chris slowly stretched out his right hand and pressed a gesture in the air.
The noisy applause and discussion at the Houston Command Center gradually stopped, and each researcher's face turned slightly red, and the eyes of Chris looking at him were flashing with excitement.
When the Houston command center was completely quiet, Professor Chris swallowed slightly, reached out to pick up the microphone, turned on the radio switch and whispered: "Houston received it! Congratulations! You are the heroes of Miligan!"
"Now, I announce that I will start the out-of-cabin operation!"
Perhaps because of being too excited, Professor Chris's voice was a bit hoarse.
But even so, the nearly ten minutes of conversation between Andrew and Professor Chris spread throughout the United States in that moment!
...
"The United States will never give up! The Pathfinder Plan has been successfully implemented and has now successfully landed on the Utopian Plain!"
"Greetings from Mars! The United States has created history once again!"
"A small step from the United States, a big step from mankind!"
"The United States will eventually rise again!"
At the moment when the Pathfinder series successfully landed on Mars, all newspapers rushed to print out the newspaper of the day!
The overwhelming news instantly submerges every American!
As President Albert said that day: "I don't allow any American to not know this news!"
At the moment when the news was reported, countless American citizens spontaneously rushed to the streets and began to celebrate this historic moment!
The Twitter server was down due to this incident!
"Hahahaha! I know! Sometimes if they don't force a nasa, they don't know how much ability they have!"
“God is with Miligan!”
"Xia Kingdom is still landing on the moon now? Hahahaha, by the time their Moon Palace plan is implemented, our American free flag has already filled every inch of Mars' land!"
"How can the Feilong Riding Face lose?!! Tell me, how can I lose!!"
"I announce that the United States won this space race!"
"I announce your announcement is valid!"
“…”
...
Meanwhile, Mars, the Utopian plain.
The door of the Pathfinder 1 landing compartment slowly opened, and three astronauts walked down the gangway along the gangway.
For the first time, human footprints appeared on the red Mars surface.
"Let's go, we're going to speed up." Andrew looked up at the sky, then looked down at the time on his wristwatch, and said in a deep voice: "It's going to be dark in a few hours."
As the planet with the highest similarity between Earth in the solar system, the duration of a day on Mars is almost the same as that on Earth, and it is about 40 minutes longer.
"It should be too late today, right?"
Bruno roughly estimated the time and whispered in the team's radio channel: "It will take at least ten hours to unfold and build the Mars cabin."
Andrew frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Joey beside him: "Joey, how long can the materials in the landing cabin last?"
Joy thought for a few seconds and responded quickly: "If we count the consumption of our out-of-cabin operation, there is about two days left in the oxygen margin."
"That is to say..." Andrew's face changed slightly, "If we want to ensure safety, we must complete the construction of the Mars pole before nightfall tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid that's the case."
Hearing Joey's answer, Andrew felt heavy in his heart.
It seems that time is abundant, but due to the limitations of spacesuits, they need to replenish oxygen every three hours of work, and then count the time spent on the road...
"That's it."
After a brief thought, Andrew quickly issued an order: "Bruno, then I will install the Mars cabins 1 and 2 first, Joey, you will be responsible for installing the air circulation module and power supply module!"
The American Mars cabin consists of five circular tower-shaped capsules.
Among them, the No. 1 cabin is the most critical, which has a large amount of scientific research equipment, and even the main control computer is in the No. 1 cabin.
The second cabin is an astronaut residence cabin, the third cabin is a warehouse, the fourth cabin is a Mars planting unit, and the fifth cabin is an airlock cabin.
By then, several astronauts will try to plant some crops on Mars to verify the possibility of future colonization of Mars.www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
For easy installation, the Mars cabin has the function of self-expanding.
What the astronauts need to do is to install various functional modules and precision instruments after the Mars capsule is successfully deployed.
...
At the same time, Xiaguo First Laboratory.
In just two months, a large factory was built next to the laboratory.
Unlike ordinary factories, there is no worker inside these factories, only rows of flexible robotic hands and various mechanical processing equipment.
Lu Yongchang stood at the door of a factory, looking at the scene inside the factory, a hint of amaze flashed in his eyes.
Manipulators flexibly grasp the workpieces on the tracks and operate the machine tool to quickly process them into various parts.
"Although I have watched this scene many times, I still feel unrealistic..."
Fang Xu's sigh came from the side: "I never thought that one day, all production tasks could be handed over to the computer."
"If this scene is spread... I guess many workers will be laid off, right?"
Lu Yongchang chuckled and slowly shook his head: "It's not so exaggerating."
"At the same time, so many processing equipment have basically reached the limit of zero."
"If you want to expand it to the whole country... you have to at least need a computer with hundreds of millions of quantum bits."
Fang Xu was silent for a while and said again: "According to the current progress, the first batch of lunar automatic mining equipment should be almost completed, right?"
Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked at the camera at the entrance of the factory: "Zero?"
The next second, an electronic synthesizer that was not much different from a real person's voice started: "Professor, it is expected to take another 20 hours and 36 minutes."
The moment he heard the expected time, Lu Yongchang's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Brother Xu, let Bai Yixuan and the others prepare and officially launch the lunar mining plan the day after tomorrow!"
Before Fang Xu could reply, Zero spoke again: "Professor, there is a news I think you should be interested."
"What?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
Chapter completed!
