actually quite busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past few hours, they had to first keep an eye on the live broadcast of Dawn III, and then refresh the live broadcast room of Artemis II every once in a while, for fear of missing out on some unique major scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at present, most of their attention was focused on Dawn III, after all, it was going to land on the moon in a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The background music of the CCAV live broadcast had disappeared without anyone realizing when, and now what the viewers could see and hear was consistent with that of Explorer 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was lying in the shadow below the lander, and then received the command from 14 to roll away a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That camera outside the lander now represented the eyes of over five billion people worldwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven minutes after the studio host announced the exit from the cabin, the ladder below the hatch began to unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ladder was divided into upper and lower sections, totaling 11 steps, because the split design made the hatch relatively high, but fortunately, it was also equipped with handrails, and with a bit of care, it would not let the astronaut fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the landing module, Zhang Zhiguang stood in front of the hatch, continuously practicing stepping movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had roughly grasped the essentials of movement under the current gravity, and should not take a fall in front of the whole world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the cabin pressure again, it had indeed reached a red zero, the hatch opened inwards to avoid the risk of being blown out with the astronaut if the air was not fully purged while opening the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he nodded to Fang Lin who was standing on the other side of the door facing him, and then he pulled down the gold opaque partition inside his visor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handles inside the hatch were each held by thickly gloved hands on both sides, starting to rotate counterclockwise, requiring a total of one and a half turns, and if there was any air pressure difference or mechanical locks unengaged, it would be impossible to turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang took a dozen seconds to confirm that the hatch was open and then gently pulled it inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray and white wilderness appeared like an overexposed old photograph, devoid of any bright colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch opened more easily than expected, and Zhang Zhiguang saw the vast desert plains at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had already seen this scene countless times on screens, although it was devoid of life, and although there was nothing on the ground but dust and scattered pebbles, he still stood there frozen for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People on Earth saw a dark shadow emerge as the cabin door opened in the camera’s view, and then Zhang Zhiguang’s right hand reached out to grasp the right handrail, followed by the life support backpack on the back of his space suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the lander, he grabbed the handrail and stepped down to the last rung of the ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang carefully lifted his right foot and turned his body, gripping the handrails like one about to dive into a pool, observing the ground beneath him with an unprecedented closeness in over forty years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment he exited the cabin, their audio had also been connected to the live broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"02, can you see me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the hatch, Fang Lin spoke loudly into the radio:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see you, you’re standing on the last step of the ladder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang: \"The landing legs have sunk about 10 centimeters into the ground, and I’m standing about 15 centimeters above the moon’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see sand, no, not like sand, more like rough metal particles, very coarse and dense, I think there’s a possibility I might step into it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Lin: \"To your left is Explorer 9, it’s already stood up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explorer 9 had no AI capable of free thought and only acted according to commands, clearly controlled by 14 at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had stood up and carefully moved to the front-left of Zhang Zhiguang, observing with its photoelectric detector the being represented in the code as having the highest authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Zhang Zhiguang 10 minutes to go from opening the hatch to the last step on the ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having rested thoroughly, his breathing was still getting heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m about to set foot on the Moon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Zhang Zhiguang lifted his right foot and gently placed it on the lunar surface below the ladder, then pressed down firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This step made him fully aware of how solid the Moon soil beneath his feet was; he let go of the handrail with both hands, stepped forward with his left foot, and then carefully lifted his right foot, observing a very clear, oversized footprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up towards the middle of the lander:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My first step on the Moon represents the countless workers, proving that the power and wisdom of the working people are boundless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On July 4, 2017, at 8:06 PM, 44 years, 4 months, and 7 days after the last human left the Moon, humankind once again set foot on the Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Event: Space Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Event node updated: One of the competing parties used the CZ-10 rocket to send a monolithic spacecraft into lunar orbit, completing a moon landing operation and an extravehicular walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the competing parties has completed the moon landing mission, the first phase of this event will stop counting before December 31, 2017;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: In the long run, this event will have a significant promotion effect on the human space exploration cause, and the base, as one of the driving forces, will receive corresponding rewards after the end of the first phase;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base has not yet conducted a successful manned moon landing, please complete as soon as possible.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the ground control center, the system’s alert tones were almost drowned out by the cheers here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large group of staff behind Lin Ju stood up excitedly, clapping and cheering with all their might, their voices also captured by the microphone and broadcast in the live feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Academician She did not stop the cheering; he waited for a minute until the scene quickly quieted down before picking up the microphone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"01, your heart rate has exceeded 70, adjust your physical condition slightly, then continue with the walking task;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good luck to you all, over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"01, understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After responding to ground control, Zhang Zhiguang steadied his breathing and walked over to Explorer 9, feeling strange standing next to such an alien structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can come down now, 02. Do you remember the stance I was in? Don’t move too fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Fang Lin start descending the ladder in the manner of Zhang Zhiguang, moving slowly on the steps like a clumsy bear, taking three or four minutes to reach the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even though the spacesuit worn now is heavier than during EVA, the slight gravity actually made movement less restrictive and quite effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that lifting legs to walk seemed a bit troublesome because it required one’s own strength to assist foot descent, so he tried to tip-toe forward in a small hop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just tensing the toes, his entire body leaped up nearly 30 centimeters, landing about a meter away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With somewhat labored breathing, he steadied himself and then raised his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gazing down at the bright Moon, looking up in contemplation of my hometown;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now I can reverse Li Bai’s poem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, the audio to the live broadcast was turned off, and Zhang Zhiguang said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our American colleagues should be landing soon too, actually today holds more significance for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What significance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The day we set off was chosen deliberately, but the day we landed just happened to coincide with their national holiday, Independence Day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I had forgotten about that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1343,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.445Z",1,"novelbin.me","41a45eba8b8c42047767b9df3b40efec6174cb44e4d30810ff080af1ddff8ec4","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-443","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-441",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
