Moon.

Southwest of Storm Ocean, near Kepler Crater.

The Outpost 2 base established by NASA is carrying out a series of work with difficulty.

Baru headed to the abandoned Outpost 1. He stood in front of the outpost 1 door. After entering the pass code, the air-tight cabin door slowly opened.

At this time, he took a step and walked into the airtight traffic cabin. However, Baru did not start the established airtight pressurization procedure, but opened another hatch door on the inside.

As the inner cabin door opened, due to air pressure problems, the gas in the living cabin rushed outwards. The pressure-losing impact at that moment even made Baru feel a little unstable. Fortunately, he grabbed the handlebar in the cabin in advance.

After a few seconds, the gas in the living compartment was completely lost and turned into a subvacuum environment.

The reason why it is not conducive to the capsule gas here is mainly because it is unsafe.

More than eight months have passed since the nuclear leak at the Outpost 1 base. As the water circulation system in the cabin was contaminated by radioactive materials, the radioactive concentration inside the cabin rose rapidly and the items inside were constantly polluted.

Now the things inside the living compartment are more or less contaminated with radioactive substances, or after being irradiated with neutrons of radioactive substances, they transform into new radioactive substances.

Although there will not be too much radioactive material in the newly transformed space, the things in the living space will definitely not be used anymore.

The other is the bodies of Wade and Hawk. After more than eight months of decay and fermentation, they must have released a large amount of gas into the living compartment.

These gases are not only very smelly, but also very dangerous.

Many people have seen "Whale Explosion" in documentaries. At this time, the situation in the living cabin is comparable to the situation in the body of a dead whale.

The sealing of the capsule is unquestionable. After the death of two astronauts, the bacteria in their bodies will quickly reproduce, decompose organic matter in the corpse, and release a large amount of gas.

If it is an open open environment, these gases are not worth worrying about.

However, the small space in the space capsule is sealed, which makes these gases unable to be released and will continue to accumulate inside.

Therefore, the first time Baru came here was to "ventilate and breathe" here and release the internal gas.

After releasing internal gas, Baru walked into the living compartment. The situation of living compartment 1 did not change much. Before he went to the moon, he had seen the internal situation of Outpost 1 at the simulation base in Houston Space City.

But the situation that really embarrassed him was Living Cabin 2.

When you walk into the interior of the living compartment 2, what comes into view is a corpse with juice flowing, and the body is bound in the space suit.

Even though he was wearing a space suit, the scene was still very disgusting. Then he thought of Hawke and Wade, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

He, Hawke and Wade, are both NASA's astronauts, and have trained and lived together, and there is still some friendship.

Unexpectedly, he had to restrain his corpses for the two of them today. The indescribable mood was very complicated.

What's more, at this moment, Baru is also one of the NASA Moon Expeditionary Forces. Seeing his colleague die tragically on the moon, he will inevitably bring him into his body.

Take a deep breath.

Baru packed up his mood, took out two sets of out-of-cabin spacesuits from the warehouse, and put Wade and Hawke's bodies into the out-of-cabin spacesuits.

After putting on the helmet of the space suit, he silently stared at what was in front of him, but in the end he didn't say anything sensational. He just saluted and pulled Hawke's body out of the cabin.

About 50 meters away from the outpost 1, the body was placed aside. Baru took out the shovel inside the outpost 1, and pressed against the sun, and began to dig a hole hard.

More than three hours later.

A big pit that can accommodate two people appeared in front of Baru, with the sand and soil just dug out on the side.

He pushed Wade and Hawke into the pit together, together with the spacesuits outside the cabin, and then rested for a while, then landed the dug sand and soil back into the pit.

Finally, this place became a small landblock.

He inserted the sand shovel in front of the small earth bun, then took out the nameplate with the names of the two people engraved, and tied the nameplate to the shovel stick with iron wire.

"Rest in peace! May God bless you!"

Baru was about to leave, but remembered another thing. He returned to the electric car and took out a small box from his backpack. This was what Wade and Hawke's family asked him to send it.

He opened the small box, which contained a family portrait of Wade and his wife, two children, as well as a family portrait of Hawke and his family, and two letters.

Back before returning to the cemetery, Baru buried the small box.

In front of the cemetery, Baru stood for a long time, but was silent again. Finally, he said silently in his heart:

"Goodbye! May heaven have no outer space."

He returned to base No. 1, took out some convenient scientific instruments from the scientific research cabin 3 and placed them in the rear bucket of the electric vehicle.

After 11 hours of busyness, Baru finally completed this mission and returned to the base of Outpost 2 with scientific instruments worth hundreds of millions of meters.

While driving, Baru returned the same road, he contacted David at the base of Outpost 2.

"David, I've finished the first phase of work and am now preparing to return."

After a while, David's reply came from the communicator.

"OK, by the way, those scientific instruments are not contaminated by radioactive materials, right?"

After gently turning the steering wheel, Baru replied: "No, I have tested it with a radiation detector, and there is no problem."

Regarding the scientific research chamber 3 of Outpost 1, NASA actually knows the situation. Since the previous nuclear leakage was launched in the scientific research chamber 2, the problem of nuclear contamination is because of the water circulation system of the living chamber.

Since the scientific research cabin 3 was temporarily sealed from the beginning, it naturally did not be contaminated. As long as the water circulation system of the scientific research cabin 3 is not opened, the radioactive substances can be ensured that they will not leak into it.

The electric car was driving slowly on the dry and hot Moon Sea Plain, at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour.

Although it can be faster, Baru is very cautious. This place is not native to Blue Star. If there is a car accident, it will be difficult to even ask for help.

Cherish your life and stay away from racing.

Baru didn't want to die on the moon. It took about twenty minutes before returning to the base of Outpost 2, 8.4 kilometers away.

After returning to the base, I felt a little relaxed.

It's around eight o'clock in the evening.

The three of them, who had been busy all day, took off their heavy space suits, wore the space suits in the cabin, chatting while having dinner.

At this time, it was still sunny outside the cabin.

David, who was heating the dishes, said, "I heard that the Xizhou Space Administration has established a base in the northwest part of the Yunhai."

"Sea of ​​clouds? It's quite far from us." Baru said, taking a sip of coffee.

Phillips, who was gnawing on the cucumber, shook his head: "It's not far away, at least it's much closer than going to Hongwan, but can Xizhou keep up now?"

After pressing the heating button, David turned his head and said, "It was an unmanned base with only three space capsules, but the reaction of the other neighbor was very fierce."

Another neighbor, Phillips and Baru naturally knew who it was, and Baru asked curiously: "What did they do? Did they use laser cannons and knock down the spacecraft?"

"How is that possible?" David shook his head and smiled: "They only built 11 strongholds in the northeast of the sea of ​​clouds in about 11 days."

Phillips was startled: "11 strongholds in 11 days? Oh my god! This is too big, right?"

"Their strongholds are composed of at least three space capsules. Now the northeastern part of the Yunhai are occupied by the other party." David spread his hands helplessly.

For a moment, all three of them fell silent.

This gap is indeed very large.

NASA has been doing its best for more than eight months and has sent 15 space capsules, three astronauts, and enough three astronauts to the moon for 8 months of living supplies.

It took the other party just 11 days to lay 11 strongholds on the moon.

This kind of gap makes people unable to raise the courage to confront each other.
Chapter completed!
