Chapter 1161 Craters
Chapter 1161 Crater
Now the lunar rover has spread its wings. It has woken up and is starting to prepare to move its body.
After the lunar rover deployed a pair of solar panels, it began to move. It first slowly drove from the middle of the "petals" to the lunar surface, and finally set foot on the soft soil on the lunar surface.
After that, the lunar rover began to move forward. Now for Zhao Zhongyao, the lunar rover's driving route is just random. Because he doesn't know where he wants the lunar rover to go now.
It's just that Zhao Zhongyao had known about this place before. The reason why he chose to land at this place was because the last time the 'Moon-1' flew over the moon, it took some photos of the moon.
From these photos, Zhao Zhongyao discovered that there was a place that was very flat and very large. He felt that this place was very suitable for a lunar rover to land on the moon, and it could also be used for activities near the moon.
Although the lunar rover designed by Zhao Zhongyao can also 'cross mountains and ridges', in order to ensure the safety of the lunar rover, the area where Zhao Zhongyao allowed the lunar rover to move is still relatively flat and open.
place.
The lunar rover has started working now. It has been driving forward on the surface of the moon. The speed is not very fast. After all, the lunar rover is on the moon mainly to detect the terrain. It is not to measure its driving speed.
Political Commissar Yang now sees that the lunar rover has started to move smoothly on the lunar surface, and he is also very happy. After all, it can be said that everything has gone smoothly so far!
Besides, Hans and Jack, who were far away in country M, saw that the lunar rover was moving forward smoothly, and they were sincerely happy for Zhao Zhongyao.
"Haha, that's great. This kid Zhao Zhongyao is really talented. Jack, look, how easy it is for the lunar rover designed by others to travel on the surface of the moon." Hans looked at the moving lunar rover on the TV screen.
He was also very happy.
"Yes! Zhao Zhongyao is a genius, and the lunar rover he designed is so awesome. It travels very smoothly on the lunar surface, which is also the pride of all of us." After hearing what Hans said, Jack agreed.
One sentence.
Hans and Jack are now looking at the lunar rover on the TV screen, feeling very happy in their hearts. They no longer want to think about how to compete with Zhao Zhongyao. They just want to watch the live TV broadcast here easily.
!
Besides, Zhao Zhongyao was also very happy. Everything went well, which of course made him feel happy.
It’s just that the day on the moon has passed soon. It’s time for the lunar rover to enter nighttime. Now it’s time to make the lunar rover hide among the ‘petals’ and put it into a dormant state.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao quickly sent an instruction to the lunar rover, allowing the lunar rover to return to his 'home'. The four 'petals' closed together again, protecting the lunar rover again.
.
After doing all this, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and said: "There is nothing to do now. Let me answer the questions you asked before!"
Upon hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Political Commissar Yang said in confusion: "What question did I ask?"
"Don't you want to know why the lunar rover can't work at night?" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang again and said.
"Yes! I forgot about this question! Now that our lunar rover has started to sleep, would you like to talk about this question?" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
"That's right. Since there is no air on the surface of the moon, the temperature during the day is very high, about more than 100 degrees! And the temperature at night is very low, about more than 100 degrees below zero.
The lunar rover is made entirely of metal products. There is no problem with its resistance to high temperatures. However, there is a problem with its resistance to low temperatures. If you work at night, some of the lubricating fluid on the lunar rover may freeze.
, if that were the case, the lunar rover would not be able to work at all.
Also, when the lunar rover works, it uses energy. The energy source of the lunar rover is mainly the energy generated by the solar panels. At night, there is no sunlight. The solar panels are
Unable to work, the lunar rover cannot continuously provide energy supply. In this case, the lunar rover cannot work for a long time at night. Although there are power storage facilities on the lunar rover. But if the lunar rover works at night, it will
It is very easy to malfunction and very unsafe.
So, in order to extend the working time of the lunar rover on the moon, we just have to 'care' for it. Don't let it work at night. We want it to go home and sleep like ordinary humans."
When Zhao Zhongyao explained this, Political Commissar Yang understood why the lunar rover could not work at night.
"Oh, that's it! Why do you have to make the lunar rover work during the day? It turns out it's to extend the service life of the lunar rover!" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
"Yes, that's it. It is not easy for us to launch a lunar rover to the moon. Of course we must try to let it stay on the moon for as long as possible." Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Okay, is there nothing going on now? Can we take a rest?" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
"Yes, we can take a break. When it becomes daytime on the lunar surface where the lunar rover is located, let's let the lunar rover start working!" Zhao Zhongyao said again.
In this way, everyone took a temporary rest. The location of the lunar rover will last only four or five hours after one night. After four or five hours, the lunar surface where the lunar rover is located will become
It's daytime.
Four or five hours passed quickly. Zhao Zhongyao and everyone returned to work. Political Commissar Yang was also very curious and wanted to see what interesting things would happen when the lunar rover officially started working.
.
"Zhongyao, is it already daytime on the moon's surface now? Can we let the lunar rover start its formal work?" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
"That's right, now let's let the lunar rover start its formal work." After Zhao Zhongyao said that, he fired the command to the 'petals' just like yesterday. The 'petals' soon 'bloomed'.
Under the protection of the 'petals', the lunar rover was intact. Everything was still the same as before. When Zhao Zhongyao sent the awakening command to the lunar rover again, the lunar rover returned from the 'petals'
I came down from home and stepped onto the soft soil on the moon's surface again.
The lunar rover started working again. Political Commissar Yang and Zhao Zhongyao both looked at the large surveillance screen, wanting to see what new things would happen during the next trip of the lunar rover.
Although Zhao Zhongyao also expected that there would be some strange new things, he felt that there might not be anything new. After all, they had already observed it with the 'Moon-1' before. This large area is still relatively small.
It's flat and there won't be anything out of the ordinary.
It's just that Political Commissar Yang just wants to see something strange. After all, his curiosity is still very strong now, and he just wants to see what the moon looks like. Is it very different from the earth.
So, Political Commissar Yang first asked Zhao Zhongyao: "Zhongyao, do you think our lunar rover will encounter something strange today? Is there something magical on the surface of the moon?"
After hearing what Political Commissar Yang said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said: "Haha, if I guess correctly, this large area is very flat. It can be said to be equivalent to the prairie on our earth.
There won’t be anything magical. It’ll just be endless ground.”
"Ah, that's true! That's really meaningless." After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Political Commissar Yang felt that it really didn't mean much. If he just looked at the lunar rover like this, moving aimlessly on the surface of the moon, it would be so boring.
It really doesn't make much sense.
"What's wrong, Political Commissar Yang, do you have to let our lunar rover see something strange?" Zhao Zhongyao said again after hearing what Political Commissar Yang said.
"Yes! There must be some magical things on the surface of the moon! We can't launch a lunar rover probe with all the hard work, but in the end, we didn't see anything magical!" Political Commissar Yang
His curiosity was very great. After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, he said with some regret.
After hearing what Political Commissar Yang said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said: "Hey, Political Commissar Yang, although we used the 'Moon-1' satellite probe to take some photos of the lunar surface, those were only a few meters above the moon.
Taken from an altitude of 100 kilometers.
The ground range of each of these photos is within several thousand kilometers. In such a large range, it is naturally difficult to see some details. So, whether there is anything magical in this place, it is also
It's hard to say.
It’s just that I feel that there won’t be any magical things on the moon. It’s just a silent world. Except for some craters and some big rocks, there won’t be anything magical.”
Although Zhao Zhongyao said this, he only comforted Political Commissar Yang. He still felt that there was nothing magical on the surface of the moon. There were just some craters and some huge rocks.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't read it anymore. I'd better go and take a rest! It's already night now, so I'd better take a rest first. If there's anything good to watch, just wake me up. If there's nothing good, wake me up.
If so, then I’ll go to bed first.”
As soon as Political Commissar Yang heard Zhao Zhongyao say that nothing magical would appear, he had no intention of watching. After all, he just wanted to see some magical things! But Zhao Zhongyao's words made him immediately
I started to feel sleepy. After all, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"Okay, then Political Commissar Yang, you can go to bed first! I will watch for a while. If there is nothing abnormal after a while, I will let someone else replace me. I also want to take a rest."
After Zhao Zhongyao and Political Commissar Yang agreed, Political Commissar Yang went to his bedroom to rest. Zhao Zhongyao was still looking at the big surveillance screen patiently.
It's just that the current lunar rover is just driving on a very flat lunar surface. The front is flat and there is almost nothing to see. It only occasionally encounters some huge rocks. But there is nothing unusual about these rocks. Naturally
It cannot attract Zhao Zhongyao's attention.
"Hey, it's really meaningless, I might as well go to sleep!" Zhao Zhongyao now also has the same idea as Political Commissar Yang. Since the lunar rover is just moving aimlessly on the surface of the moon, what's the point of staring at it?
.It’s better to sleep under the quilt!
But just when Zhao Zhongyao felt that it was not interesting, a huge thing finally appeared in the lens in front of the lunar rover, which made him feel a little energetic.
"What is this? Is it a big mountain?" Zhao Zhongyao saw that in the lens of the lunar rover, a huge round mountain range appeared. At first glance, it felt like a big mountain.
But when Zhao Zhongyao took a closer look, he knew that this was not a big mountain, but a huge crater. After all, seeing craters is the most common thing on the moon. This is not as good as on the earth.
Seeing a crater is not an easy thing.
After all, the earth's surface has undergone great changes, and only some giant ancient impact craters will leave some traces. And some small impact craters are difficult to leave any traces on the surface of the ground.
But it's different on the surface of the moon. On the surface of the moon, let alone huge craters, even small craters can be preserved for a long time.
It can be said that the moon is like a huge crater museum. Here, you can see all kinds of craters. All the craters remain the same as they were when they hit the moon. It can be said that there are millions of them
Nothing has changed over time. Unless a new meteorite hits the original crater, otherwise nothing will change.
When Zhao Zhongyao felt that the mountain that appeared in front was a huge crater, he was not very interested.
It's just that this crater is really very big. From a distance, it looks like a big mountain. The circumference of the whole mountain must be tens of kilometers. The height of this big mountain is also several hundred meters.
From this angle of the lunar rover, we can only see the general shape and outline of this big mountain. What does the entire crater look like? What does the crater look like inside? It cannot be seen now. Because the lunar rover
