Chapter 722 The Forgotten Man
The situation in Blue Star has undergone earth-shaking changes due to the outbreak of the Yellowstone Volcano by chance.
This drastic change is naturally of great concern to humans inside Blue Star, which is closely related to everyone's future after all.
However, many people have forgotten that in this world, in addition to the people on the ground, there are also those floating in the "heavenly".
Moon, storm ocean.
Outpost 2 base.
The four astronauts had stopped a lot of work at this time, and they couldn't stop. Phillips and Baru, who had originally planned to return to Blue Star to rest in January, must not be able to go back now.
Jack Nipton, who only came to the moon in October, could stay on the moon for a longer time.
But the four of them were in a good mood at this time. They felt that they had been abandoned. The feeling of cheating was simply terrible.
When he was planning to leave this ghost place happily, he woke up and Noah surrendered. Several space cities in Nasa were shrouded in volcanic ash.
If the space age is mature and can be self-reliant, the local area will be disintegrated and they can also build their own new country in space.
But now, Nasa's aerospace technology is not up or down, and can reach space and land on the moon. It is impossible to live on the moon for a long time, and the moon base cannot be self-sufficient.
The West China Space Administration is now very scared because they just planned to launch a manned spacecraft to the moon in January and settle in the Alpine base.
If it was launched more than ten days in advance, the two astronauts would probably call MMP.
Inside Outpost 2.
Phillips had just completed contact with the Houston Space City, and Baru, who was standing by, couldn't wait: "What should I do? What does the headquarters say?"
"The headquarters said there was no way, but it has negotiated with the Federal Space Administration. It also suggested that if an emergency occurs, we can contact Guanghangong City directly."
"Where are those Mars?" Jack asked nervously.
Phillips replied with a strange expression: "The headquarters said it can be destroyed all of it because the federal government also has relevant samples and does not need samples from our side."
"Wang Defa?" Jack was furious and angry: "Do you mean the Federation also has samples?"
"Yes, the Federation does have samples." Phillips was actually very surprised.
None of them knew about this. In fact, this was the instructions given by Noah to ask Nasa to conceal the truth about part of the Mars fungus (Fenghuo fungus) from the astronauts.
Jack and Nepton, who were kept in the dark, looked at each other and showed a hint of loss.
They did not expect that the Mars fungus had been obtained by the Federation, and they wanted to persuade Nasa headquarters to completely destroy all Mars samples to avoid this dangerous creature falling into the hands of the Federation.
Thinking about it now, it’s just that I’m just being self-indulgent.
The Federation does not care about the destruction of the Mars fungus of Outpost 2, and even wishes it to be destroyed. After all, this kind of thing is really troublesome to deal with.
Even in a subvacuum environment like the moon, once the Mars fungus is leaked, it is difficult to completely remove it if the specific leakage range is not known.
After all, this thing has too strong survivability and can easily lurk in the lunar soil and stay dormant until a suitable breeding environment appears.
Jack and Nepton were both lost for a while, while Phillips and Baru were worried at this time.
Because they have been on the moon for 197 days, although there are records of astronauts living in the sky for about 10 months on the International Space Station, the situation is different now.
Nasa's headquarters is in a semi-shutdown state, and it is expected that Nasa will launch a spacecraft to pick them up back to the Blue Star. There is basically no hope in a short period of time.
This is a very helpless realistic problem.
Although the Expeditionary Force is gradually advancing into Texas, some of the facilities of the space city covered with volcanic ash have been damaged. According to Nasa's own assessment, it is difficult for the four large space cities in North America to resume normal use within half a year.
In another half a year, Phillips and Baru will live on the moon for more than 12 months.
Moreover, the base also faces another problem, that is, the supply problem. According to the plan formulated by Nasa, the supply of Outpost 2 will be replenished together during this astronaut shift change.
But no one can do it better than God can do it, Noah will kill himself.
Now the food supply in Outpost 2 can only be maintained for about 156 days for four people, that is, a little over five months.
Nasa cannot return to normal within half a year, not to mention that this so-called half a year is calculated at the fastest speed. If there is any accident in the middle, the time will have to be further delayed.
There is not enough food, this is the second problem at present.
Baru spread his hands and said, "We should probably contact Guanghan Palace. After all, from the perspective of the inheritance relationship of international law, theoretically we are now citizens of the Federation."
"..." Phillips could not refute it, because it was a beaver.
After all, Noah will surrender voluntarily, and the Federation also accepted the surrender of Noah's Society, which means that the Federation will legally inherit everything from Noah's Society.
The Moon's Outpost 2 base and astronauts such as Phillips will automatically inherit their ownership by the Federation when Noah announces his surrender.
Even if the Outpost 2 base does not want to admit it, there is no way, because this is the fact, a norm recognized by international law.
Unless the Federation voluntarily abandons Outpost 2, Outpost 2 will have no reason to leave the Federation. This is why a small number of cities in North America will be regarded as rebels after announcing their separation from the Federation.
Because the Federation legally inherited the Noah Society, its act of dispatching expedition forces was not an illegal invasion, which was called regaining lost land and suppressing rebellion.
Of course, Phillips and others have some self-knowledge. In the lunar realm of life, they can only rely on the Federation now, otherwise they will have to die.
Phillips opened the public channel and used the radio broadcast system to send a call to the Federal Moon Zone.
At the Changong Space Station in the lunar orbit, a call signal was soon received from Outpost 2. At this time, the person in charge of the Changong Space Station was Li Yunguang, who came to take turns to the table in October.
He remembered this when he heard the correspondent's report.
Cai Xin, the deputy base director in charge of scientific research, said with a smile: "I almost forgot if they don't call. By the way, the ownership of Outpost 2 should be ours, right?"
"With that being said, there is a Florus fungus on it, and it needs to be handled with caution." Li Yunguang said with a headache.
Cai Xin suggested: "That's not simple. Just ask them to destroy all the samples of the Florus fungus in Outpost 2 on the spot, and then send a spacecraft to take the people to Guanghan Palace City for one month in isolation, and then arrange for the spacecraft to send them back to Blue Star."
"That's all." Li Yunguang picked up the communicator:
"Xiao Du, you reply to the astronauts of Outpost 2 and ask them to destroy all samples of the Fructus fungus as soon as possible, and then we will send a spacecraft to pick them up."
"Okay." Communication officer Xiao Du immediately replied to the side of Outpost 2.
Outpost 2.
Phillips and others who received the reply did not hesitate to directly start the destruction system prepared before and destroy all samples of the fluorescent fungi.
