"It's really cold here."

Looking at the outside temperature value projected on the helmet on a piece of grey moon soil, the young man in heavy spacesuit said with some emotion.

"Oh, can I freeze you in a spacesuit?"

Walking beside him is the captain of the engineering team of yuemian scientific research station, whose name is Wu Gang. People in the engineering team usually tease him about whether he came to cut trees on the moon or not, while he teases himself that he is the head contractor on the moon.

In fact, there is only one engineering team in the whole scientific research station.

All the things dropped from the Moon Palace are unloaded, installed and deployed by them.

He went to repair the solar array, and he went to repair the monthly collision. It can be said that the artificial facilities on the whole lunar surface were all built with the space construction equipment operated by the engineers of the engineering team, "brick by brick".

As for the engineer next to him, Xu Chengli, who was recently assigned to the team, is said to be a master's degree in aerospace engineering from Jinling University.

Due to the close cooperation between Jinling University and the Institute of higher learning in the research and development of aerospace technology, this resume is very popular in the aerospace industry, so that Wu Gang can't understand why he came to this place where the bird doesn't shit.

"I just said it casually. Don't get excited."

Listening to the voice from the communication channel, Xu Chengli smiled a little embarrassed.

Because he has just arrived here, he always feels that everything is novel, so many teammates feel that he is a little talkative. But most of the time, he didn't feel it, but regarded it as an advantage.

After all, it's very difficult to hear a little voice on the silent moon. He always felt that if he didn't say a little more, he would not have to go mad one day.

However, Captain Wu did not seem to agree.

"You said too much."

Seeing that he seems to be hated, Xu Chengli's face shows a helpless smile.

"Well, I will control myself to talk less nonsense Well, when I was on the earth, I didn't say so much. "

“…… The last words you said are superfluous. "

They walked on for a while and stopped on a flat ground.

After stepping on the ground and confirming that the lunar soil is solid enough, Wu Gang reached out and took down the navigation beacon from the backpack, skillfully set the effect parameters, and then inserted it steadily on the ground.

So far, their work has come to an end. The rest is to wait for the cargo ship to drop the lander, dismantle and dismantle the cargo on it, and make the correct deployment.

So they stood on the desolate field, waiting for the arrival of the goods quietly.

As time went by, Xu Chengli and others began to be bored, and hesitated to talk about something, Wu Gang suddenly said.

"You are only twenty-five."

Seeing that the captain actually took the initiative to talk to himself, Xu Chengli quickly replied.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Wu Gang: "why do you come to such a place?"

"Do you still need to ask? The salary is high. The salary of the same type of work is three times that of the ground. Moreover, they also manage to eat and live, and work hard. Half a year's rotation, three months' rest, the only thing that bothers me a bit is that the network delay is too high, the communication bandwidth is limited, and No nightclubs are a bit boring. And you? "

Wu Gang was silent for a while, as if hesitating to answer the question.

But when he saw the expectant look, he sighed and said.

"For the same reason as you But I'm different from you. I have a family to support, two children to go to school, and a mortgage to pay One piece of advice is that young people should not waste their good youth in such a place. These jobs are for people like us. "

Xu Chengli frowned: "how can we say it's a waste? Don't you think it's cool to work on the moon? "

Cool?

What is that?

Hearing this, Wu Gangming was stunned.

Young people nowadays, are they all thinking that way?

He felt that he was not only about to lose pace with the times, but also seemed to be a little out of line with the young people's ideas.

In his view, at least, there is no more fun here than a bare grey land and a lot of beautiful craters.

"You don't want to talk about girlfriends?"

"It's boring. I'm tired of it. I'm still comfortable. I'll go wherever I want. Why bother myself. By the way, as soon as you say this, I think of another good thing about working here. At least when I come here, no one urges me to marry. Ha ha. "

With a hearty smile, Xu Chengli looked up at the deep, dark sky in the sky, and suddenly said with emotion, "every time I look up at this sky, I always think that the fate of an individual is insignificant in front of the universe. Don't say that there is no throne to inherit, even if there is, in front of him, what is it? "Wu Gang took a look at him.

"If everyone thinks so with you, we'll be extinct."

"Sooner or later I mean standing at the height of time. " Looking at the electronic clock printed on the upper right corner of the transparent surface, Xu Chengli said impatiently, "when it comes to time, do those people on the Moon Palace have no idea of time? We have been waiting here for a long time for our goods to arrive. "

"Maybe something unexpected happened," Wu Gang said with a frown after glancing at the time counter on the helmet, "but it shouldn't be serious. At least the headquarters didn't send any additional notice."

Xu Chengli: "say, what was sent this time?"

"Sample entry dr-111 active substance I don't know much. Let's leave the rest of the work alone. It's enough to do a good job Here we are. "

At the moment when the voice fell, Xu Chengli raised his head and looked in the direction that Captain Wu's line of sight pointed to.

I saw a flickering green dot in the deep dark space.

Like a merchant ship from a distant world, the green dot gradually approached, flickering at a special frequency, and gradually approached the area visible to the naked eyes of the two people.

The shadow is getting bigger and closer.

In the end, the broad chassis hit the surface of the moon steadily, setting off the rolling moon dust.

"It's time to work."

After patting Xu Chengli on the shoulder, Wu Gang walked in front of him and walked towards the silver white landing capsule with the green light flashing on its head.

"You are late."

Looking at the astronaut walking down from the landing module, Wu Gang raised his right hand and nodded twice on the side of the helmet to connect his signal to his communication channel.

“…… It took a while to fix the track. To introduce myself, my name is Yang Xingyu, "explained the astronaut who came down from the landing module while coughing and reached out to wipe off the dust on the mask." recently we are replacing the navigation system, which is not stable in all aspects. It will be good after this period of time. "

"Change the navigation system?" Xu asked

"Yes, all our computing services have been handed over to xinghai-1 recently. You should have heard about the world's first quantum computer."

Wu Gang frowned and said, "is that ok with such a high delay?"

"Delay is not a problem. The problems caused by this part are said to be covered by algorithms. And some time later, star technology will install an extension for us on the Moon Palace, and this problem will be solved perfectly. "

Then the astronaut took a picture of the landing module next to him and went on to say, "this is the thing. The deployment work will be handed over to you I'm engaged in bioengineering. I don't know much about it. Can you contact the horse captain for me if you don't have any trouble? I remember he was in charge of the scientific research station. "

"He's on his way," Wu Gang said after looking at the lander. "If it's convenient Can you tell me what this thing is? "

"It's not inconvenient. You'll know it soon anyway." he reached out and clicked on the wrist computer in his left arm. Dr. Yang selected the data to be transmitted and clicked the send button.

After reading the progress bar, a 200 word project briefing was soon presented on the mask of Wu Gang's astronaut helmet.

"Dr-111 active substance Metabolite purification project in low gravity environment Is it - "

" it seems that you have guessed, "Dr. Yang continued with a smile," if the project goes well, it is not a problem that there may be large-scale migration to the moon. "

"Come on," Wu Gang smiled faintly, his index finger clicked twice on the wrist computer in his left arm, and turned off the project briefing. "Except for some people with abnormal brain, who will come to this kind of place where the bird doesn't shit?"

"Hello, what do you mean?" Xu Chengli said discontentedly, "is my brain abnormal?"

Wu Gang returned a look of "isn't it?" and then said without expression.

"Cut the crap. You are still on probation. If you don't want to get a C, go to work."

On hearing this, the young man immediately counseled and went to the landing module without saying a word with his tools.

Looking at the young man's back with a smile, Dr. Yang said, "you can't say that. Life is not only about living in front of you, but also about poetry and distance. What you see now is only the bare land and the circular mountain where birds do not shit. But if you look at it in more than ten years, I believe you will miss these distant landscapes. "

Wu Gang: "you mean after I retire?"

"I think it's the same whether I retire or not."

Ha ha, I hope you can say something like this when you stay here for a month.

At the sight of Dr. Yang, Wu Gang smiled faintly, said nothing, shook his head and carried the tools to work.
