Five Hundred and Sixty Seventh Gossip
After finishing the day's work, Ye Han returned to the dormitory. As soon as the door opened, he saw Bai Xiaoting waiting at home, making a video call with Professor Qin who was far away on Earth.
"I'm back!" Bai Xiaoting happily greeted her.
On the second day after the spaceship arrived, Bai Xiaoting devoted herself to intense work and lived a fulfilling life of going out early and returning late. However, no matter how busy she was, she didn't have as many things as Ye Han, so she got off work and went home first every day, like an ordinary Tong's little wife waited for her husband to come back.
With a happy smile on Ye Han's face, he sat on the chair and greeted Professor Qin. Bai Xiaoting sat beside him tenderly, twisted her body and squeezed into Ye Han's arms, and Ye Han hugged her shoulders.
It's nice to have someone waiting at home.
Professor Qin asked curiously: "Ye Han, is there any news from your place?"
"No news, but some old news."
"Tell me." Professor Qin was not picky at all.
He doesn't know the details of the Beiyuezhou base, but he knows that there are many confidential things on the moon, so Ye Han must choose what he can say.
Ye Han filtered the news he heard recently in his heart: "A few days ago, the international base opened up the crater..."
"I've also heard about this, does it have a big impact?" Professor Qin asked.
"It's okay, they are several months late, and we have just left the crater, and we have already sent the exploration team to the cold sea." Ye Han said.
"Cold sea?" Professor Qin didn't know much about the geography of the moon.
"Uh, that's what it is. When you look at the moon when it's full, the top is the North Pole, and there's something like a streamer a little below. The rightmost part of the streamer is the cold sea."
"Oh...the Americans haven't reached Leng Hai yet?" Professor Qin didn't understand at all, but he couldn't hold back his old face and asked more questions, so he simply memorized this word first, and looked up the information later.
"I can't get there for the time being. It's good if they can walk a few steps near the base, and they won't be able to get out in a few months!" Ye Han said confidently.
Confidence comes from strength, and no one in the Beiyuezhou base will be afraid on the moon.
The cold sea exploration team is composed of three large lunar rovers, and the air they carry is enough for one and a half months. They will head southeast all the way, bypass several craters, and reach the cold sea through the plains between the ring mountains. Twenty-day scientific expedition.
The results of the investigation will determine whether Beiyuezhou will open a second sub-base in Lenghai!
Regarding the construction of the sub-base, both Beiyuezhou and the ground are very cautious.
Ice water can only be found at the two poles on the moon. Without water, there would be no oxygen. Therefore, whether to open sub-bases in the lunar sea has been under intense debate.
Professor Qin was very happy: "That's great, if you want me to say, Yankees shouldn't be allowed to go to the moon!"
Ye Han grinned helplessly and didn't answer.
The reasons for this are too complicated to explain. Even if he makes it clear, he may not be able to convince Mr. Qin, so it's better not to talk so much.
The old man still wanted to inquire about things on the moon, but was distracted by Ye Han: "Grandpa, how is the situation in the north?"
"It's still the same. It's a good day. Today's preparations are early, and the situation is much better than last year, but it's not a problem to hold on like this!" Speaking of the northern defense line, the old professor sighed.
"Hey, time flies so fast, it's been more than two years in a blink of an eye." Ye Han said.
It has been two full years since the Jinghu incident broke out. The country has experienced countless crises in the past two years. Now the people of the country have become accustomed to the attacks of giant insects, and the situation has gradually stabilized. Even if they encounter giant insects, it is not like a plague of insects. I was as panicked as I was when the outbreak just broke out, because fewer and fewer people were killed by the giant worm.
This is not only the case in China, but also in foreign countries. Humans and insects are roughly evenly matched. To use the clichés in the official media, this is called a strategic stalemate. As long as the aliens do not make trouble, humans will be able to eliminate the giant insects sooner or later.
Professor Qin stared: "Xiao Ting let you go, can you not hurry up?"
"Grandpa!" Bai Xiaoting stomped her feet, "What are you talking about!"
"Okay, I won't say anything, the female university is not allowed to stay!"
"You still say!"
The topic was finally no longer heavy, Ye Han greeted and walked out of the screen,
I got into the bathroom and took a shower, and when I got out, the video was over.
Ye Han swooped and threw himself on the bed: "Why don't you say anything?"
"It's time." Bai Xiaoting sighed, "Grandpa should rest."
Ye Han patted the bed beside him: "Beauty, come on!"
Bai Xiaoting rolled her eyes, and lay obediently beside Ye Han, but complained: "I have been here for several days, and you leave early and return late every day without seeing anyone, are you really so busy?"
Ye Han smiled wryly: "I came back early because of you. Before you came, it was later than this, and I was even busy except eating and sleeping."
"What are you up to?" Bai Xiaoting asked dissatisfied.
"There's a lot to do. Let's just say these few days. The engineering team has started digging the No. 7 hole. Lao Gao is too busy. Can I go to help?"
"Don't you just take care of the affairs of your military team? Also take care of the affairs of other people's engineering teams?"
"I'm the only idler. If you don't grab my bag, whose bag will you grab?" Ye Han sighed, "It will be a few days, and it will be fine in a few days."
Bai Xiaoting arched Ye Han with her head: "Didn't you say it's all there? Why are you digging again?"
Caves 1 to 6 have their own uses, covering various aspects such as agriculture, scientific experiments, smelting, separation, mechanical processing and energy. According to the construction plan, if any area needs to expand its production capacity, it will continue to dig underground instead of digging a new hole.
Ye Han smiled and explained: "The seventh hole is the airport."
"Airport? Isn't there one?"
"That one is temporary." Ye Han said, "This one is permanent, indoors, similar to an airport on the ground."
"Can you go back to Earth?"
"How can you, you think too much."
"Isn't it an airport? What is an airport called if there are no flights?"
Ye Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while: "How can there be any conditions for flying now? This is a cargo airport!"
Bai Xiaoting blinked curiously: "Freight? Where are we going? We are short of everything here, so we have to send things back?"
"It's not sending things back, it's sending things in orbit around the moon." Ye Han explained patiently, "You think all the bases are on the ground?"
"Would you like to go to heaven if you're not on the ground?"
"It's not thinking, it's going to heaven." Ye Han said, "Our base is divided into two parts, the ground and the outer space. Now the ground part is almost done, and we will gradually increase production capacity in the future. It's time to build an airport."
"What about outer space?" Bai Xiaoting was surprised, "What is the outer space?"
"Orbital factory!" Ye Han said, "Even if the moon's gravity is small, you can't build warships on the ground. That's not tens of hundreds of tons. How to send it to heaven?"
