Chapter 4 Ring Mountains
Time waits for no one!
Country M's technological level is more advanced than theirs. Once they land on the back of the moon, they may soon catch up with them. When the time comes, with three people against ten people, they have no chance of winning.
Not to mention that they didn’t bring any weapons for use in space.
The lunar rover moved forward slowly, and they were getting closer and closer to the crater mountain. After Nangong Yue became familiar with the lunar rover, she continued to accelerate. After more than an hour, the lunar rover finally arrived at the foot of the crater.
The seven-kilometer journey took more than an hour. The speed of this lunar car was actually not very fast, but it was still a little faster than walking.
Nangong Yue immediately began to set up the communication device. He said: "In two hours, the space capsule will pass over our heads again."
Han Xu knew that Nangong Yue was using the liaison device to provide the space capsule with precise coordinates, so that the space capsule could successfully airdrop the supply capsule.
The supply module is a facility similar to the lunar module. Han Xu and others can enter it, take off their spacesuits, eat, drink, sleep and use the toilet.
But there is also a difference between the supply module and the lunar module, that is, the supply module has no propellers and no extra space to store fuel, so when they leave in the lunar module, the supply module can only be abandoned here.
After the contactor is set up, two micro solar panels are deployed, and they will continue to provide power to the contactor.
Han Xu still remembered the contents of the operation manual. Now, it is time for the three of them to climb the mountain.
This double-ring mountain range is divided into an inner ring and an outer ring. The height of the outer ring is approximately between 3,000 meters and 3,500 meters. In other words, they have to climb at least 3,000 meters to reach the top of the mountain.
p>
Such a height is not a problem for professional climbers at all, but that is on the earth, and this is the moon.
On the moon, they all wear bulky spacesuits. It is impossible to take off their spacesuits directly in a vacuum environment to eat and drink, nor can they just find a place to set up a tent to rest.
The only advantage of being on the moon is that the gravity here is only one-seventh of the gravity of the earth, which makes it easier for them to climb mountains.
But there is a serious problem before them, and that is oxygen content.
Han Xu looked at the oxygen content of his spacesuit and found that it was only 65%. He immediately asked: "Should we wait for the space capsule to pass above our heads, or should we climb the mountain first?"
Han Xu knew very well that in space, the oxygen content in the spacesuit is the most important value. Here, if you can't do it, don't exercise, because exercise will increase the consumption of oxygen. If they climb the mountain first, they are likely to suffer from oxygen consumption.
Let's die here.
Of course Nangong Yue also understood this truth, but he frowned and said: "We must climb the mountain first. Time is tight. We must make good use of the 48 hours we have ahead."
People from country M are probably already on their way, and they must not waste time here.
Chu Fei said: "Now, the space capsule should have circled the front side of the moon. Only when the space capsule reaches the back side can we get in touch with it."
Han Xu felt very puzzled: "What is on the back side of the moon, and why can't the signals on the front and back be connected?"
At the same time, Han Xu also felt that his chest was very hot. He could clearly feel that it was his amulet that was getting hot. At this moment, he also vaguely realized that something was wrong with his amulet.
But Han Xu couldn't check it. He couldn't take off his spacesuit in such an environment.
Han Xu started climbing with Nangong Yue. The process of climbing the crater was easier than Han Xu imagined. They were almost "flying" and could jump one or two meters high with a single leap.
It seems that Nangong Yue's decision is correct, Han Xu thought in his heart.
It only took them an hour to reach the top of the outer crater, which was much faster than professional mountaineers. After all, the impact of the difference in gravity was huge, and all three of them had undergone long-term physical training.

Therefore, after Han Xu and the others got used to the low gravity environment of the moon, climbing this outer crater would not be a problem.
The three of them stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire moon and earth. The craters one after another came into their sight, and the huge moon rocks like giants stood on the earth.
This was an extremely magnificent scene that shocked them so much that they even temporarily forgot that they still had a mission.
The eyes of Han Xu and the three of them were shining with light, as if they were moved by this scenery. They were silent for a long time under this scenery before they came back to their senses.
Only then did they realize that now was not the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
"Come to your senses, we are not here for a trip!"
Nangong Yue's words brought them back to their senses, and then they turned around and looked at the inner ring mountain that was completely hidden in the shadows.
With his naked eyes alone, Han Xu couldn't see what was in the Inner Ring Mountain. It was completely hidden in the darkness, and the darkness would make people feel a sense of boundless fear in their hearts for a long time.
"Ancient smell." Nangong Yue twitched her nose, seeming to smell something.
But this is the surface of the moon, a vacuum environment, there is no air, and it is impossible to spread the smell.
Chu Fei stared closely at the darkness in the inner mountain. She felt a little congested in her heart, and there seemed to be a depression filling her heart.
Han Xu didn't feel this way, he just felt that the amulet was very hot.
"Go back and get ready. We will set off for the inner ring tomorrow." Nangong Yue gave the order, and the three of them began to return.
Rest is necessary. No matter how tight the time is, you must ensure adequate sleep.
As soon as the three people came down the mountain and reached the foot of the mountain, the space capsule appeared above their heads, and then the supply capsule was airdropped. The space capsule has the most advanced artificial intelligence system currently, so after receiving the signal from the liaison device,
The capsule's artificial intelligence aimed at the positioning sent by the communicator and airdropped the supply capsule.
With a "boom", the supply module landed on the lunar surface, and the coordinate error from the coordinates given by the liaison device was only 44 meters.
The three people immediately arrived in front of this small supply cabin, and then entered the airlock of the supply cabin one by one. After a simple inflating, the three people were finally embraced by the air, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.<
/p>
They immediately entered the supply cabin. Nangong Yue took off her helmet first, and then took a deep breath.
Han Xu also took off his helmet and space suit, but he did not rush to check the amulet on his chest. Instead, like Nangong Yue and Chu Fei, he first ate, drank, and took turns going to the toilet.
Afterwards, they returned to their respective beds. Han Xu immediately closed the curtains on the bed, and then took out the amulet from his collar. The moment he took out the amulet, Han Xu was surprised to find that there was
Chapter completed!
