Chapter 262 Life on the Moon
Working on the space station is very hard. Although you can communicate with the ground in real time and with your family, the feeling of loneliness is still hard to avoid.

Moreover, the space station is a very closed environment. The space is small and various equipment is running all the time. The noise alone is very troublesome to the astronauts.

The same goes for the moon.

Even because of the physical distance, the difficulty is much more.

Many people think that working on the moon is very romantic, but only the stationed astronauts know the hardships.

Fortunately, the astronauts have undergone rigorous training and are determined, and there are still many astronauts who are good at rectification and can enliven the atmosphere.

For example, old comrade Nie Zhiming.

The northeast dialect he spoke directly misled the other two, and his stand-up comics were also sneaky.

Liu Dong and Sun Lili knocked on stones outside for five hours, and he said, "Come here, what gift do you bring?" He directly amused them and relieved a lot of their fatigue.

Sun Lili gave him the box directly, and then stepped on the limiter to fix the feet of the spacesuit. The intelligent robotic arm above automatically fixed the two fixed points on the shoulder, and the spacesuit stood firmly.

Liu Dong opened the survival backpack on her back for her, then she leaned back and got out of her upper body, supported the shoulders of the spacesuit with both hands and exerted light force, only one-sixth of the earth's gravity made her legs jump out easily.

"Whoo~"

After she came out, she smiled and said, "Brother Nie, this is a moon rock souvenir that we collected with great difficulty. It is very precious."

"Good guy, moon rock souvenir, that's too precious!"

Nie Zhiming was very "surprised" holding the box, and then said: "I went out to grab a handful of soil, and it was only a handful of moon soil."

At this time, Sun Lili also opened the life-support backpack for Liu Dong. After he came out, he smiled and said, "Hahaha, brother Nie, you can put this here and this here."

The three of them laughed for a while, and the atmosphere relaxed completely.

Since landing on the moon in mid-July, they have been here for almost three months. In two days, the lunar spacecraft will transport the lunar soil and rock samples collected during this period back to Earth, and then load them into the moon. Come back with some supplies.

The reason for the three-month wait is that Practical Technology and the space agency have to figure out the orbital refueling technology.

And wait until December, the last Long March 12 rocket that was supposed to carry out Fanxing's first manned mission to the moon, will send another lunar module.

The reason for sending it again is because they found something good in the crater next to it.

water molecule!
Yes, the camera of the lunar rover has not captured the exact ice, but the detection module has found water molecules, so even if no water ice is formed, as long as the lunar soil in the crater can "squeeze out water", the place is still excellent. Base construction location.

So the three astronauts work very energetically every day.

When they came to the living area on the second floor, "Sister Chang'e" had already prepared lunch for them.

"Sister Chang'e" is actually the intelligent assistance system in the outpost, but because its voice is female, Sun Lili called it "Sister Chang'e".

After all, as the only woman on the moon, many people also call her "Chang'e" or "Moon Goddess".

The second "female" on the moon is naturally "Chang'e's sister".

As an intelligent assistance system produced by Practical Technology, since it is installed in the lunar module of the outpost, it can naturally help the astronauts complete various tasks, including "cooking".

It is said to be cooking, but it is actually heating all kinds of soft or hard canned food.

It can control the robotic arm to complete the "cooking" process according to the menu or preferences formulated by the astronauts.

It is always a good mood to take off the heavy space suit and walk in the warm, bright and sturdy survival module in the cabin suit.

The moon's gravity is very small, only one-sixth of that of the earth, but it is this one-sixth that makes it different from the completely weightless space.

The weightless environment is very novel to tourists, but it is not so friendly to astronauts who live and work for a long time, and it can even be said that it is not friendly at all.

Staying in a weightless environment for a long time will make people uncomfortable, and there are too many restrictions on eating in a weightless environment, so although the gravity on the moon is very small, it also allows them to experience a precious sense of "down-to-earth" and let them know Where is down, where is up.

Sitting on a chair now is just sitting on a chair, and it will not be the situation in space where "sitting is equal to not sitting, and it is more uncomfortable".

With gravity, although it is a little smaller, it can also make them eat a little more normally.

They can even hold a bowl and eat noodles with chopsticks.

The more the eating process resembles the earth, the more it can relieve their anxiety.

They have been here for almost three months. Compared with the astronauts in the starry space station, the effect of the "earth-like" eating environment is very obvious.

Nie Zhiming took out a bag of heated beef fried noodles, took out a disposable paper bowl, opened the bag and shook it downwards, and the fried noodles were poured into the bowl.

Put the bag into the garbage bag, then pick up the chopsticks and stir the fried noodles on the plate. After a few strokes, a plate of steaming beef fried noodles appeared.

Although there are many steps, and there are bags and bowls and chopsticks, it is full of ritual.

People on earth work and live on the moon for a long time, so there is still a sense of ritual.

In addition, there are bags and bowls and chopsticks. In fact, they are a test mission for the first batch of members. After three months of testing, the food supplies on the moon can be directly stored in bowls.

When the time comes, heat it up and eat it directly in a bowl.

As long as the movement is slightly smaller when using and eating, the movement is not so wide, after all, the gravity of the moon is still small.

Next to them, Liu Dong and Sun Lili were also fiddling with their staple food. At this time, the table was already full of food, and there were plenty of dishes and soups.

In addition to the staple foods of the other two astronauts, red bean rice and assorted fried rice, there are red braised pork chops, shredded pepper and potatoes, beef soup with cabbage and canned assorted fruits.

Both Nie Zhiming and Liu Dong have participated in manned space missions, and they have eaten all these dishes. Although Sun Lili has not participated in manned space missions, she also experienced the feeling of eating in space during this mission to the moon.

Eating in space and eating on the moon are really two states.

So when they landed on the moon for their first meal, they looked at each other and suddenly they all laughed.

“It feels so good to sit on a chair and eat with chopsticks!”

"Yes, in space, you always eat with a bag. It's not like now. It feels similar to being on the earth."

"Yeah, I can drink soup with a bowl, it's cool!"

"This part has to be filmed, and we have to show the three guys over there at the space station."

"Hahaha, brother Nie, you are too hurt."

"It's really too bad, but I like it, Brother Nie, put on a pose, I'll take the picture..."

Yes, Fanxing has 6 astronauts in space, 3 in earth orbit, and 3 on the moon. They are like employees sent by the head office to work in other places. If there is a comparison...there will be harm.

Hmph, is it amazing that the communication delay between the space station and the ground is low? We can still drink soup with a bowl!

The three of us had a great time eating that meal.

After eating, the garbage produced is processed, compressed and put into a special bag, and then the garbage produced in the body is processed, compressed and put into a special bag, and then brought back to the earth for research.

After a short rest, they will start working again.
