On the lunar orbit hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. 数十万公里之外的月球轨道上。 From Moon Palace number space station not far away, near six silver-white installment of frustum shape, abandons from the magpie bridge number belly hold, crashes to go toward the lunar terrain. 距离月宫号空间站不远处,一座六边棱台状的银白色装置,从鹊桥号的机腹货舱扔下,向着月球表面坠落而去。 Several months ago, in Jinling Higher Research institute then UN many research agencies, mined the research and development of equipment to conduct the project to the lunar terrain automation. 早在数个月前,金陵高等研究院便联合国内多家研究机构,对月球表面自动化开采设备的研发进行了立项。 Now, this/should project has made certain progress. But this value 300 million rmb named „pioneer” the installment, is one of the project research results, is mainly responsible to containing the moon rocks of titanium ore conducts beginning mines. 如今,该项目已经取得了一定的进展。而这台价值3亿rmb的名为“开拓者”的装置,便是该项目的研究成果之一,主要负责对富含钛矿的月岩进行初开采。 If this/should equipment deploys successfully, and can successfully work. The next lunar orbit construction committee will consider to continue to deploy the automated vacuum in the lunar surface to consume the arc melting installment, the titanium ore that will mine processes the titanium spindle even is the titanium alloy, to fill the structural material demand of some Moon Palace number second phase as well as lunar surface research facility. 如果该设备部署成功,并且能够成功工作的话。下一步月球轨道施工委员会将会考虑在月面上继续部署自动化真空自耗电弧熔炼装置,将开采的钛矿加工成钛锭甚至是钛合金,以填补一部分月宫号二期工程以及月面研究设施的结构材料需求。 Under the hauling and inertia function of orbit insertion, the silver-white frustum shape equipment was close to the lunar surface slowly. 在月球引力的牵引以及惯性的作用下,银白色的棱台状设备缓缓接近了月面。 As it is getting more and more near with the distance of Moon, guarded two staff as well as magpie bridge number the pilots in Moon Palace number, the look on face also tightened as if by prior agreement. 而随着它与月球的距离越来越近,驻守在月宫号中的两名工作人员以及鹊桥号上的飞行员,脸上的神色也是不约而同地绷紧了起来。 „Hit...... 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1...... land from the bottom successfully!” “撞击倒数……五、四、三、二、一……着陆成功！” „Launches the steady rest!” “展开固定支架！” In flash that silver-white frustum and lunar surface contact, the dusky Moon dust shoots up to the sky under the hit of mining equipment. 在那银白色的棱台与月面接触的一瞬间,灰蒙蒙的月球尘在采矿设备的撞击下冲天而起。 Side the installment fixed foot rest opens rapidly, like four clasps, stubbornly spike in the moon rocks of under foot. 装置侧面的固定脚架迅速打开,像四只钩子一样,死死地钉入了脚下的月岩中。 Previously does not dare to stare at the two Moon Palace number staff of screen laxly, at this moment relaxes finally, after applauding mutually celebrated simply, immediately returns to the duty. 先前一刻也不敢松懈地盯着屏幕的两名月宫号工作人员,此刻总算是松了口气,互相击掌简单地庆祝之后,立刻回到了任务中。 „Here is the Moon Palace number, lunar surface automation mining equipment experiment has landed successfully, request next instruction.” “这里是月宫号,月面自动化采矿设备实验型已经着陆成功,请求下一步指示。” „Here is the ground command center, congratulates you to complete the task, now please inspect the location state of lunar surface automation mining equipment, if did not confirm exceptionally, please start the next test subject after ten minutes.” “这里是地面指挥中心,恭喜你们完成任务,现在请检查月面自动化采矿设备的部署情况,如果确认没有异常,请在十分钟之后开始下一项测试科目。” „Receives.” “收到。” Proficiently completed all checkout items, determined that after the installment has deployed is successful, in the Moon Palace number staff immediately press down the button of starter. 熟练地完成了所有的检测项目,确定装置已经部署成功之后,月宫号上的工作人员立刻按下了启动装置的按钮。 Almost presses down the same time of button, automatic mining installs the top signal light to glitter slightly, probably in response Moon Palace number summon, crawled the giant beast in lunar surface to move like one. 几乎是按下按钮的同一时间,自动采矿装置顶部的信号灯微微闪烁,像是在响应月宫号的召唤似的,如同一只匍匐在月面上的巨兽般动了。 The bottom alloying plate opens slowly, the gigantic drill bit stretches out, place stubbornly spike in Moon Soil. 底部的合金板缓缓开启,紧接着硕大的钻头从中伸出,死死的地钉入了月壤之中。 As the drill bit starts to revolve, and downward advancement, prevented to be separated the innumerable fragments in the front titaniferous moon rocks quickly. After processing of spiral-shaped broken ore pipeline, from installing the side discharge hole gushes out. 随着钻头开始旋转,并且向下推进,阻挡在前方的含钛月岩很快被割裂成了无数碎片。在通过一个螺旋状的碎矿管道的处理之后,从装置侧面的出料口涌出。 After the necessary smelting installment deploys, the discharge hole of entire automated mining installment, will connect through the special pipeline and smelting installment, will feed in the smelting furnace under the transporting of caterpillar band, will realize the complete automatic production. 等到配套的熔炼装置部署之后,整个自动化采矿装置的出料口,会通过特殊的管道与熔炼装置连接,在履带的搬运下送进熔炼炉之内,实现完全的自动化生产。 The titaniferous moon rocks that however the present words, mine also can only pile here, therefore after confirming the equipment can succeed the operation, does not need to open. 不过现在的话,开采出来的含钛月岩也只能就这么堆在这里,因此在确认装置可以成功运行之后,也就没必要一直开着了。 „Installment starts successfully, the running status is good.” “装置启动成功,运行状态良好。” „Makes it stop.” “让它停下吧。” „Receives.” “收到。” As the drill bit stops slowly, and received in the abdomen of mining installment, the ore of disruption also no longer gushes out from the discharge hole. 随着钻头缓缓停下,并且收入了采矿装置的腹中,碎裂的矿石也不再从出料口涌出。 The Moon dust that however because the low gravity ring boundary on Moon, that flies upwards everywhere has not actually fallen decides. 不过由于月球上的低重力环境,那四处飞扬的月球尘却是迟迟没有落定。 Stands by the porthole of Moon Palace number living cabin, looks at the lunar surface that dust are flying upwards from afar, Johnson opens mouth, on the face wrote all over shock. 站在月宫号生活舱的舷窗旁边,远远地望着那片尘土飞扬的月面,约翰逊张了张嘴,脸上写满了震撼。 „What God...... are these China people doing to Moon?” “上帝……那些华国人在对月球干些什么？” No one replied him. 没有人回答他。 Because stands in his nearby Jones, the expression on this little while face is not calmer than him many. 因为站在他旁边的琼斯,这会儿脸上的表情并不比他淡定多少。 She only saw the China person to throw anything to get down from the spacecraft, hiking up that then the billowing Moon dust then blocked the sky, looking like hit by the missile was the same. 她只看见华国人从航天器上扔了个什么东西下去,然后滚滚的月球尘便遮天蔽日的飘起,就像是被导弹击中了一样。 „Do they...... test the weapon on Moon?” “他们……是在月球上测试武器吗？” Silent some little time, as until the movement of slowly space station, that piece vanishes by „work site that” the Moon dust covers in his field of vision, the sound that he thought aloud probably said one. 沉默了好一会儿,直到随着空间站的缓缓移动,那片被月球尘覆盖的“工地”消失在他的视野之中,他才像是自言自语的声音说了一句。 „...... Does not hope.” “……但愿不是吧。” Theoretically is impossible, the peace development and using the outer space resources are the agreement that various countries reach, the experts in all countries in the world on this space station, in addition on Earth also some innumerable astronomic stations lens to here. 理论上来讲是不可能的,和平开发并利用外层空间资源是各国达成的共识,世界各国的专家都在这空间站上,再加上地球上还有无数天文观测站将镜头对着这边。 If the China person plans to test the weapon on Moon, they were certainly insane. 如果华国人打算在月球上测试武器,那他们一定是疯了。 Johnson likes to believe, they are the plan construct anything in the lunar terrain, like that planter unit that they deployed a while ago. 约翰逊更愿意相信,他们是打算在月球表面建造些什么,就像他们前段时间部署的那个种植单元一样。 Looked around team leader one eyes, Jones asked with some worry sounds: „Said when...... we can go home?” 看了旁边的队长一眼,琼斯用有些担心地声音问道:“说起来……我们什么时候才能回家？” Johnson shakes the head: „Does not know.” 约翰逊摇了摇头:“不知道。” „That safe? Recently how unable to see others.” “那泰维呢？怎么最近都看不到他人了。” Johnson silent a while, opens the mouth to continue to say. 约翰逊沉默了一会儿,开口继续说道。 „His that side possibly had/left a condition.” “他那边可能出了点状况。” „I heard...... on him to infect the fearful sparks/Mars virus probably. We also......” thought of any dreadful matter, a Jones's complexion paleness. “我听说……他身上好像感染了可怕的火星病毒。难道我们也……”想到了什么可怕的事情,琼斯的脸色一片苍白。 Looked at eye own teammate, although the mood is agitated, but Johnson spoke thoughtlessly to comfort one. 看了眼自己的队友,虽然心情烦躁,但约翰逊还是随口安慰了一句。 „Relax, here is gathering the entire world topest biology expert, the peaceful dimention is we, finally is well.” “放心,这里聚集着全世界最顶尖的生物学专家,无论是泰维还是我们,最终都会平安无事的。” Although that said that but his 1 bottom does not have at heart. 虽然话是这么说着,但他的心里一点底也没有。 Previously he through the Moon Palace number communications device reported the safe time to the North American People, with nasa has conducted the short exchange. 先前他通过月宫号的通讯装置向北美民众报平安的时候,与nasa进行过短暂的交流。 Fortunately, the China person has not prevented him to learn that the truth, in the exchange of Chief nasa during, he had basically understood a general idea the beginning to end of matter. 幸运的是,华国人并没有阻止他获知事情的真相,在与nasa局长的交流之中,他基本上已经将事情的始末了解了个大概。 Simple, is lodging a vitality extremely tenacious sparks/Mars bacteria on their bodies, but this bacteria possibly has the influence that is hard to estimate to the ecosystem of Earth. Therefore they were isolated temporarily on the space station, after a period of time will be shifted to the lunar terrain research facility places. 简单的来说,在他们的身上寄宿着一种生命力极其顽强的火星细菌,而这种细菌可能对地球的生态系统造成难以预估的影响。所以他们暂时被隔离在了空间站上,过段时间之后会被转移到月球表面的研究设施进行安置。 What as for their final results can be, if this bacteria were proven is invincible, even the world's topest biologist is still at a loss, how they will be handled finally? Johnson cannot even think toward the deep place. 至于他们最终的结局会是什么,而如果这种细菌被证明是不可战胜,即使是世界最顶尖的生物学家也束手无策,他们最终又会被怎样处置？约翰逊甚至不敢往深处去想。 Perhaps sacrifices the life by them on own initiative, is the best solution, even he can feel indistinctly when Chief Casson when with he conducts the telephone conversation, there has suggested itself. 或许由他们三个人主动献出生命,是最好的解决方法,甚至于他都能够隐隐约约感觉到,卡森局长在与他进行通话时,有这么暗示过自己。 However, one time of life thing to anybody, what kind of glory no matter this back contains, gives up on own initiative easier said than done? 然而,生命这东西对任何人来说都只有一次,不管这背后蕴含着怎样的荣耀,主动放弃谈何容易呢？ At this time, the cabin door of living cabin opened suddenly. 就在这时候,生活舱的舱门忽然打开了。 Previously to that Researcher China who they checked, accompanied by two astronauts, floated in the living cabin, stood firm before two people. 先前给他们做检查的那名华国研究员,在两名宇航员的陪同下,飘进了生活舱内,站定在了两人身前。 Johnson subconsciously anxious, but relaxes to ask quickly. 约翰逊下意识地紧张了一下,不过很快放松下来问道。 „What matter? Did the research have the progress?” “什么事？研究有进展了吗？” When asked that these words, Johnson had not reported any hope, after all arrived in the Moon Palace number altogether also only to pass several days of the international experts, can find to solve the problem in such a short time the plan is really difficult. 在问出这句话的时候,约翰逊原本是没报任何希望的,毕竟从国际专家们抵达月宫号总共也就只过去了几天的时间而已,能在如此短的时间里找到解决问题的方案实在是太难了。 However, Zhao stretch/leisurely Xuan's words, actually came as a surprise to his. 然而,赵舒轩的话,却是出乎了他的意料。 „Slightly a little.” “稍微有一点。” Looks that on the face wrote all over surprised Johnson, Zhao stretch/leisurely Xuan stopped the moment, continued to say with the serious tone, „to confirm our here suspicions, I needed you to coordinate us to conduct some experiments.” 看着脸上写满惊讶的约翰逊,赵舒轩停顿了片刻,用严肃的语气继续说道,“为了验证我们这边的猜想,我需要你们配合我们进行一些实验。”
