Luckily, the officials had anticipated this and disabled comments to prevent the live chat from crashing, while several other YouTubers’ rooms lagged severely due to not disabling comments in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited voices could also be heard from the street outside the hotel, making one’s blood boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, please prepare some snacks and send a portion to all the rooms upstairs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Ikki had to shout twice to get the innkeeper’s attention. Reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the computer and thinking about the external cabin activities that wouldn’t start for at least an hour, he quickly got ready to prepare the snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto hurried outside to a box and dialed a phone number:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moshi moshi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A younger voice came from the other end:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moshi moshi, this is Inoue Junji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junji, how is the preparation going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, Yamamoto. It’s not just you; we’ve contacted others, dozens of them, over ten thousand people in total, all thanks to your support for Representative Nakayama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all for the service to the country... Are you sure the police can’t make it in time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, these are just minor issues. Just follow our plan, and all will be well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more talk, I’m still busy here. Remember to bring them downstairs ’after that,’ there will be a truck waiting under the hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Ikki ended the call, cast a cautious glance around, then hurried back into the hotel to go upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn III, Full Moon Lander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After re-pressurizing the cabin and being forced to rest for 20 minutes, Fang Lin was the first to get up, fetched two large bags of food while looking through the porthole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly 7 hours of intense work, both of their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to eat well to regain their strength and adapt to the Moon’s gravity before performing the extravehicular activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lin habitually tossed the large vacuum-sealed bag in the air, and Zhang Zhiguang instinctively stretched out his hand to catch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the vacuum bag landing on the floor reached their ears through both the soles of their feet and the air; Zhang Zhiguang was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what had happened, and they both burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first unlocked the buckle behind his ears, then rotated the helmet with some force, and pulled it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure difference inside and outside the visor made a \"beng\" sound as the rushing air hit Zhang Zhiguang’s forehead, sweeping away the fine beads of sweat while also bringing refreshing coolness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature of the spacesuit was a comfortable 24 degrees Celsius, while inside the cabin it was only 18 degrees. The sweat was entirely due to lingering tension that had yet to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath before carefully picking up the vacuum bag from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adaptation was indeed necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither zero gravity nor the standard gravity of 1G, both states to which he had become completely accustomed, was like the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In zero gravity, one loses perception of weight, while under one-sixth gravity it is easy to misjudge, leading to exerting too much force or losing balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang couldn’t wait to unwrap the package, a meal he had chosen himself on Earth. Along with him to the moon were 10 kilograms of personal items, a small privilege of lunar astronauts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lin had already started on his own selection of aspic and mustard green braised rice, curiously watching what Zhang Zhiguang was eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was zhajiangmian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang savored a bite of the steaming noodles. The food storage box had started heating up upon landing, and now the contents were just right to eat hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gravity actually had its advantages. Now, he could use chopsticks to eat instead of having to squeeze out little bits at a time to avoid crumbs floating away, which took away much of the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Commander, I’ve detected your body surface temperature is slightly high, would you like me to adjust the temperature?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of 14 abruptly sounded from above to the left, having been silent for 20 minutes on the ceiling, thus signaling its presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, thank you. The current temperature is quite suitable. I’ll take you down in a moment,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank you. I have just connected to Dawn 2 and to both the Explorer 9 robot and De Lu Moon Rover through the lander’s antenna. Would you like me to guide them over?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, how far are they from us now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[750 meters. They will be here soon as they are in good condition and have ample battery. ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Zhang Zhiguang gave an order:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have them come over and stand by to assist in our work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Order confirmed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lin watched with interest at 14, hanging somewhat comically from the ceiling, while not forgetting to take another bite of fried rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang big brother, I think 14 could already replace us. Explorer 9 comes over like a hound when called,\" he commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s because you haven’t been to New Yuan’s base yet... They have even more advanced stuff there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More advanced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat now. Chew more for better digestion. We will be outside the cabin for at least two or three hours, so better not have any accidents,\" Zhang Zhiguang instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two astronauts were resting and eating, Explorer 9 robot, now connected with 14, maneuvered \"De Lu\" away from underneath the solar panels of Dawn 2 Lander, into the shadow, and towards Dawn III less than a kilometer away, relying on the thoroughly explored map for navigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two minutes later, in the live feed still within view of the lander’s external camera, a small black dot wrapped in a cloud of dust approached rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows how many people thought of aliens for a moment, making the otherwise dull wait extremely gripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant spider robot controlled the rover to rush to the front of the lander’s hatch, stopping below it. The kicked-up moon dust took quite a while to settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before seeing the first footprint, billions of viewers saw the skid marks of Explorer 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of continuous high-intensity use, it had lost its original silver-grey sheen, the surface marred with scratches and stains, while moving and transporting moon soil had pitted its limbs. Though it appeared old and worn, it resembled a native of this place more than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It unplugged its forelimb from \"De Lu\"’s data port and, still agilely, jumped down to the front of the lander, lowered its body and contracted its limbs, completely hiding in the shadow beneath the lander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, temperatures on the lunar surface reached 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, and prolonged exposure to the sun accelerated the aging of components; it had learned to seek shelter in shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ju watched this scene and suddenly remembered the country dogs from his childhood that liked to lie at the bedroom door to sleep. It was roughly the same, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the live broadcast data relayed through \"Laurel\" by New Yuan, online numbers had skyrocketed by 15% within one minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should reward Explorer 9 with an extra chicken leg and, when it’s time for retirement, consider bringing it back to Earth for a pension plan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1393,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.445Z",1,"novelbin.me","79ec53370f38f2538990cdcac057cd0195881f3fb7dff6b60b08b61e277255cb","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-441","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-439",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
