Our live Moon broadcast is also coming to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stay tuned to CCTV News Website for more information on the Moon landing, and besides, CCAV13 will broadcast the operation footage of the ’U-Tu’ space station around the clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the bright moonlight, radiating luminosity contends for brilliance, let us all remember this great day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin gave a final wave to the camera and then returned to the landing module to sleep... Well, not really, although they did indeed need some rest, there was still much to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn III was expected to stay on the Moon for 24 to 48 hours and, barring any accidents, it would break the 22-hour record of the Apollo 17 mission, becoming the longest human lunar mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the camera and broadcast equipment were turned off, they first had to let out the long-held No. 14.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, No. 14 didn’t look much different from them, just a bit taller, limbs not swollen from pressurization, making it appear more proportionate, and slightly slimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they released it from the cabin wall, No. 14 jumped straight down from the hatch doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action startled both of them, but it quickly proved that their worries were unnecessary, No. 14 had read the Explorer’s attitude data and was far more familiar with the Moon’s gravitational environment than they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the astronauts whose movements were slowed down, No. 14 moved agilely like a gibbon in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the robot’s movements soon became sluggish and stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, this VR’s detail is too rich, almost indistinguishable from the naked eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Ding? (!)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Jihua had been peering at the screen for several hours, and now he finally had the chance to operate No. 14.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was floating in the command cabin, wearing a rigid vest connected to a metal rod to control his spatial position, with sensory VR equipment on his head and limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remote controlling from less than 100 kilometers in height, the delay was actually tolerable, especially in the Moon’s low-gravity environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what is this now? Remote Moon landing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mutual exploration between the two astronauts and the robot for several minutes, Zhang Zhiguang looked at No. 14, now possessed by Ding Jihua, and if you said it was really old Ding inside, he’d believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, now that Old Ding is here, we’ve got a branch down here too, we can hold the first meeting on the Moon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang made a light joke, and then the three of them continued to work during the time before their rest, mainly to move equipment and prepare for the next EVA experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ding Jihua’s help, the work became much easier, especially since No. 14’s body didn’t need rest or fear injury and moved more freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This didn’t take too much time; everything was completed in just over 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space agency had planned for the astronauts to rest at 23:00. The equipment moved out and the experiments scheduled for tomorrow, and the remaining time would be used for—terrain exploration, dropping off the lunar rover and happily claiming territory for Cold Palace No.1 Base, and checking for anything special that needed attention on their home turf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Explorer 9 brought by the lander, there were two lunar rovers in total, which could cruise over the Moon’s desolate surface for a little over an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before going free, Zhang Zhiguang suddenly remembered something when he looked at the time displayed on the HUD.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now 21:39, should Artemis II have already landed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hasn’t there been any news from the ground, they should let us know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Command Center, has Artemis II landed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the ground, we have no accurate news, over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They didn’t land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The latest from NACA is that operation of Artemis II was suspended due to an undisclosed reason, nothing else has been said, and Blue Moon can no longer be seen by the public;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>also, our satellites did not capture them landing in the designated area, the situation is still unclear, please proceed with the mission as planned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there is no reason for the ground control to proactively put their own astronauts at risk for the Yankees, this is the Moon after all, a place where inattention can prevent return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, now that NACA is keeping information tightly sealed and the outside world is clueless, any reckless action would be improper; it’s better to wait for them to voluntarily disclose more information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eleven countries that attended the Huayin meeting were the first to know there was a problem with Artemis, slightly more than what NACA disclosed, but that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Russia was the first to call the hotline, asking John if they were in any trouble and offering help with rescue, but the latter coldly stated that NACA was handling the situation and it was not a fatal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In China... a subtle warning had been given before the launch, so the official stance now was \"not aware,\" and unless NACA spoke up, they would act as if this never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment they had a breather, every spacecraft in lunar orbit with detecting capabilities started desperately searching for any trace of Artemis II, through heat signatures, radio signals—there was always a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artemis II’s intended landing site was 35 kilometers from Dawn III and satellites had already scanned the area with cameras, finding no trace of a landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the ground speculated the most likely scenario was a return to orbit, and it was very likely there was a serious communication malfunction, as long as there were no fatalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re not there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang shook his head, 35 kilometers wasn’t far for them, just add external power to the lunar rover, and they could look it over in half an hour – he had even thought about greeting them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Jihua: \"How about I take No. 14 for a run later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, if the satellites didn’t find any landing traces, they’re probably still up there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiguang gave up the idea and started planning a route on the HUD instead. The visor was fitted with gesture recognition provided by Huawei, easy to use, and served well as holographic navigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condition of Dawn Two Lunar Rover was also good, so he decided that the two rovers would head in opposite directions, surveying the terrain within a three-kilometer radius, covering an area of about 30 square kilometers, close enough that even if a rover broke down, they could walk back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Fang Lin formed one team, and Ding Jihua and Explorer 9 formed another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mounting some simple detection equipment and beacons, the two lunar rovers set off in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although an astronaut was driving, Zhang Zhiguang still kept the speed around 20 kilometers per hour—the Moon’s soil was far less firm than Earth’s due to gravity, and it was possible to suddenly fall into a pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area they were scouting was essentially the largest plain near the impact craters; anything larger would mean venturing into the craters, but those terrains were unfavorable for transporting materials and had to be ruled out for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the planned scale of construction for Cold Palace No.1 Base was fairly limited; the real massive investment was intended for Cold Palace No.2 Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And its location was exactly where New Yuan had planned to mine.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.445Z",1,"novelbin.me","9674f2b8c63f582f8d4a7deead9d442d775278f4031717ab97311dd5b6d0d3be","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-447","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-445",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
