Chapter 817 Things I Never Thought of

With the smooth launch of the three space shuttles Hanhai, Xinghai and Fuyao, the tasks of the ground command center were also completed in stages.

All that's left is to complete docking with materials transported by other aerospace companies in low-Earth orbit and then head to the moon.

For Xu Chuan, his overall planning work has been completed, and it is enough to leave the moon landing work to the Xiashu Space Center.

I took my family with me from Xia Shu back to the villa at the foot of Purple Mountain, waiting for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was a quiet moment amidst the hustle and bustle, and I was looking forward to a reunion amidst the busyness.

In the past two days, Xu Chuan did not go to Xinghai Research Institute. He stayed at home with his parents and handled the work at hand remotely.

In the living room, Xu Xiao was holding half a watermelon, eating it with a spoon, and turning on a large TV that was rarely turned on once a year.

"Brother, come to think of it, why did Musk sell Neuralink brain-computer interface company to you?"

After digging out a big spoonful of watermelon, Xu Xiao puffed out his cheeks and asked curiously while eating.

Neuralink's research on brain-computer interface technology is among the best in the world.

Generally speaking, it is basically impossible for such high-tech companies to leave the United States.

Neither Musk, nor American businessmen, nor the men in Congress are likely to agree.

Xu Chuan replied casually: "It was replaced with a foreign authorized lithium-sulfur battery."

After hearing this answer, Xu Xiao suddenly understood.

Compared with Neuralink brain-computer interface company, Tesla is one of its main sources of funding.

Without lithium-sulfur batteries, Tesla will not be able to keep up with the times, and selling a brain-computer interface company will not be able to solve the problem.

Losing Neuralink Musk will not be a big loss, but if Tesla fails, it can be said to be a devastating blow to his career.

After chatting for a while, Xu Xiaojiang held the watermelon in his hand, his dark eyes rolled around for a while, then he smiled slyly and reached out to poke Xu Chuan's arm.

"Brother, tell me honestly, where are you and Sister Jiaxin now?"

Xu Chuan glared at her angrily: "Little girl Pianzi, what are you thinking about all day long?"

Xu Xiao was not afraid at all, and said cheerfully: "Except for Sister Jiaxin, there are no other girls in your life. And besides family members, have you ever allowed anyone else to come here? If I remember correctly, this villa seems to

Only Sister Jiaxin has been here."

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said, "Did you forget your last birthday?"

Xu Xiao said with a smile: "That doesn't count, it can only be said to be a public celebration, and besides Sister Jiaxin, no one else can stay here overnight."

This is indeed true, although many people came here during my last birthday.

But apart from family members, the only ones staying here to spend the night were the seniors.

Neither Zheng Hai nor medical assistant Tang Sijia has lived in this villa.

Xu Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Children, what do you know?"

Xu Xiao immediately retorted: "Brother, I'm already twenty-five, okay, how can I be a kid!"

"Besides, I am also a girl, okay. Why, is it possible that you understand girls better?"

After a pause, Xu Xiao looked at his brother with a strange expression and said, "Brother, if I remember correctly, you haven't been in love yet, right? Could it be that you are asexual?"

"Or...."

"You like men? Are you gay?"

While talking, she also speculated seriously: "I think my speculation is very reasonable. There don't seem to be many girls around you, but there are a lot of boys, such as Brother Zheng, such as Senior Brother Lin Feng...

.”

Xu Chuan went a little crazy. He picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it at it, saying, "You have read too many Yafu novels. You are making blind guesses all day long. Brother, I am a normal person, okay?"

Xu Xiao stuck out his tongue and skipped the topic.

But to be honest, looking at her brother from the perspective of a younger sister, if senior Jiaxin didn't become her sister-in-law, she might not have a sister-in-law at all.

With her brother's character, it is really possible for her to never marry and focus on academic research.

...

On the other side, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away in the deep sky, three silver-white space shuttles dragged their blue-white tail flames and sailed towards the silver-gray planet.

A trip of dozens of hours would indeed be considered far away on Earth.

But placed in the vast and vast deep space of the universe, it can be said to be a very close distance.

As the instructions were revised one after another, the silver-grey planet gradually came into the eyes of everyone on the space shuttle.

Decelerating, entering orbit, orbiting, lowering altitude...

After a series of processes, the three space shuttles have entered the polar launch orbit.

On the lunar surface, over the Aitken Basin in Antarctica, along with the adjustment of the space shuttle's orbit, Xinghai passed over the base of the lunar outpost scientific research station at high speed.

Subsequently, a pyramid-shaped landing module was slowly dropped from the high-altitude orbital trench, and slowly fell on the silver-white lunar soil along the calculated trajectory, kicking up billowing lunar dust.

In the lunar module, with the assistance of another astronaut, Xi Hongwen unlocked the nylon lock that fixed his body, slowly controlled his body and stood up.

In front of him, the astronaut leading the team had already opened the hatch and walked outside.

Following closely behind, Xi Hongwen took a deep breath of the oxygen supplied in his space suit and took the first step toward the outside of the cabin.

Along the ramp of the lunar module, he steadily walked out of the lunar module. The moment he set his feet on the ground, his whole person felt like a dream.

"How does it feel?"

Standing next to him, the astronaut Jiang Xinlin who led the team asked with a smile, and his voice was transmitted to Xi Hongwen's ears through the headset.

"It's unimaginable."

Through the high-strength tempered glass mask, Xi Hongwen glanced at the scenery on the moon and replied with emotion.

To be honest, a few years ago, he never thought that one day he would be able to set foot on the moon. After all, he was just a scholar engaged in physics research.

At that time, for them, landing on the moon was still an unreachable term, and they would not have thought that they would be able to walk off the earth before they were forty years old.

But now, he has stood on the moon with his feet on the ground, which is something he has never thought of.

Not surprisingly, he was the first physicist to receive formal astronaut training and set foot on the moon.

Although the two first-generation spacecraft carried a total of more than a dozen engineers and scholars on this mission, he was the only physicist.

Others are either engineers, biologists, materials scientists, etc.

With the current configuration, there is basically only one scholar and one engineer in each field. In addition to the personnel stationed at the lunar outpost scientific research station, there are almost three people in each research field.

Jiang Xinlin smiled and said: "If you don't feel unwell, let's start working. The lunar rover from the base will be here in a moment. Before then, we have to remove all the materials and equipment carried by the lunar module.

, and then transport them together."

Hearing this, Xi Hongwen nodded vigorously and responded with a little excitement: "Okay."
