Chapter 540 Worst case scenario

"Lunar rover No. 3 suddenly lost its signal!"

Xu You was also surprised when he heard the news.

Because the main mission of the Lunar Rover 3 is to explore the far side of the moon.

Although there are many uncertainties on the far side of the moon, the Lunar Rover 3 has performed very well since landing on the moon, and there have been no accidents due to the far side of the moon exploration mission.

Xu You quickly recovered his emotions and asked calmly:

"Is it the reason of the Lunar Rover 3 itself or the reason of the relay satellite?"

Here, communication technology on the back of the moon is involved.

Because the back side of the moon always faces away from the earth, normally electromagnetic waves cannot be transmitted to the earth through the moon.

The method we use is signal relay satellite.

By launching an artificial satellite near the moon, it functions as a relay station to achieve the purpose of information transmission.

In this way, no matter where our lunar rover is, we can achieve barrier-free information transmission.

"Professor Xu, there is no problem with our relay satellite. It seems that the Lunar Rover 3 itself suddenly encountered some problem."

Xu You turned his eyes and immediately thought of the most likely reason.

Interference from electromagnetic radiation.

Since the far side of the moon is not blocked by the earth, the intensity of electromagnetic radiation is about three hundred times that of the earth's surface.

Under strong electromagnetic interference, a brief interruption of the signal is not an unexpected situation.

"Always pay attention to the Lunar Rover 3. If you receive a signal, tell me immediately."

"Okay, Professor Xu."

Since the signal from Lunar Rover No. 3 cannot be received, it is impossible to carry out any artificial control of Lunar Rover No. 3.

At this point, all we can do is wait for the signal to recover.

What everyone didn't expect was that one day had passed and the Lunar Rover 3 still had not recovered its signal.

This news made everyone start to worry about the Lunar Rover 3.

Xu You realized that the problem was more serious than imagined, and quickly found the information before the No. 3 Lunar Rover lost contact and started researching it.

"Um?"

After carefully examining all the data, Xu You discovered.

Before the Lunar Rover 3 lost its signal, in a very short period of time, the Lunar Rover 3 detected a sharp change in the intensity of the surrounding electromagnetic radiation.

"Sure enough, it's a problem of electromagnetic radiation!"

This is a problem that Xu You cannot deal with at present. In areas where electromagnetic radiation intensity is too high, it is difficult to complete long-distance signal transmission.

These overly powerful electromagnetic radiation will also have varying degrees of impact on various tests of Golden Rabbit-1, and may even cause Golden Rabbit-1 to lose its direction judgment.

"What special substances exist in this area?"

Thinking of those mysterious reports from Sam Space Agency, Xu You felt more and more chills running down his spine.

Perhaps, the secrets existing on the moon are far more complicated than Xu You estimated.

At this time, Xu You had already thought of the worst case scenario.

That means that the Lunar Rover 3 will lose contact forever and will never receive the signal from the Lunar Rover 3 again.

Losing a lunar rover is a very heavy loss for us.

However, in comparison, this is much easier to bear than the dangers faced by human astronauts.

The lunar rover can be rebuilt once it is gone, but the life of an astronaut is only once.

Xu You couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't let astronauts go to the back of the moon to perform any tasks easily.

If astronauts lose contact on the moon, everyone's level of worry will be completely different.

Seeing Xu You's silence, Lin Shi advised:

"Teacher, actually things might not be that bad. Maybe the Lunar Rover 3 just went to an area with no signal and did not encounter any danger. Maybe when will it resume signal transmission."

"Well, I hope so."

At this point, Xu You did not dare to let the other lunar rovers turn around and go to the area where the No. 3 lunar rover lost contact.

Before knowing the specific situation, if another lunar rover loses contact, the impact on lunar exploration will be too huge.

…………

A few days have passed, and the Lunar Rover 3 still has not restored the signal connection.

There are two main guesses as to why the Lunar Rover 3 lost its signal.

The first is that the Lunar Rover 3 traveled to an area with very serious electromagnetic interference, and the scope of this area is not small.

This situation is relatively better, because even so, the Lunar Rover 3 will still perform its tasks as usual, and most of its basic functions will not be greatly affected.

The second situation is that the signal system of Lunar Rover 3 has been damaged, or even has some more serious faults.

If this is the case, the Lunar Rover 3 will no longer be able to continue its lunar exploration mission.

Fortunately, we have launched a total of four lunar rovers this time. Even if an accident occurs to one of the lunar rovers, the lunar exploration mission can still continue.

At this time, Sam Space Agency contacted Xu You again and urged Xu You to deliver rocket accessories.

This time, Xu You didn't delay at all.

"Commander Johnson, we have completed the testing of the accessories to ensure that they can help the space launch system solve the problem of liquid hydrogen fuel leakage. I wonder if you want us to mail it to you, or if you want to send someone to pick it up?"

Johnson thought for a moment and replied:

"It's better to trouble Professor Xu You to arrange for it to be mailed over. It's best to do it as quickly as possible and to protect the accessories the most closely. We at Sam Space Agency will pay for all the costs involved."

"Of course, you will definitely need to pay for the expenses." Xu You said with a smile.

Xu Youdu did not pursue the cost of accessories.

If Sam Space Agency is not even willing to pay for the postage, then Xu You will not help Sam Space Agency pay for it.

"Professor Xu You, our Sam Space Agency will also pay an additional fee to thank Professor Xu You for his help."

"This is unnecessary. If you are willing, just pay the fee directly to our National Space Administration."

Xu You didn't want to collect this fee in his own name. If others knew about it, it would be hard to explain.

"Okay, Professor Xu You, we will follow your instructions."

At this time, Xu You suddenly added:

"By the way, Commander Johnson. In order to better understand the performance of the space launch system after replacing accessories, I hope to get the synchronized data of this launch to help you solve some possible follow-up problems and let the space launch system

Can be better optimized.”

After hearing what Xu You said, Johnson hesitated.
