Chapter 662: Bravely Accepting the Mission
As he spoke, Xu You and the leaders of the Academy of Aerospace began to discuss in the conference room.
Before this, astronauts had no experience in underground exploration on the moon, largely due to safety considerations and, of course, issues with space suits.
Existing space suits can protect against the harsh environment on the moon, but they are not suitable for tasks such as underground exploration.
Therefore, the Space Academy had to redesign a space suit to adapt to the exploration mission underground on the moon.
"I will be responsible for the main design work of the new version of the space suit. In addition to the mission of the space suit, I have another request."
"Academician Xu, please speak."
"I hope that Lu Zhiyao and I can participate in professional astronaut training. We both have a good physical foundation and I believe we can pass the professional astronaut assessment soon. If possible, I hope to go to the moon with Lu Zhiyao and participate in the exploration of the black holes on the moon."
In fact, no one has figured out one question, which is why Xu You brought Lu Zhiyao to the Academy of Aerospace this time.
After listening to Xu You's request, everyone finally understood the reason.
"Academician Xu, since you have made your decision, we will definitely respect your opinion. But... can Mr. Lu's body withstand such high-intensity training?"
"Don't worry, Lu Zhiyao and I usually do a lot of professional training, and our physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people."
Seeing this, Lu Zhiyao also said: "If I cannot pass the test after training, I will automatically withdraw."
After hearing what Lu Zhiyao said, no one had any more objections.
… …
In the following period of time, Xu You focused his main energy on the design of new space suits and the training of astronauts.
Xu You has always been good at designing space suits, and it is not even a challenge for him.
Xu You had also learned about the astronaut training mission before.
It can be said that much of the physical training that Xu You and Lu Zhiyao usually do is specially designed for their future careers as astronauts.
Of course, many of these training programs are completely inaccessible to Xu You under normal circumstances.
For example, aerospace training programs include a lot of wilderness survival training.
In theory, astronauts do not engage in wilderness survival when carrying out space missions.
But the reason why the Academy of Space Technology set up such a training program is that there may be a certain landing point deviation when the spacecraft returns.
Originally, the landing locations of spacecraft are mostly relatively remote locations, surrounded by sparsely populated wilderness, and there may even be some ferocious wild beasts.
Therefore, the ability to survive in the wild is an essential quality for astronauts.
Even when astronauts travel into space, they must carry weapons such as pistols to fight against some ferocious wild beasts at critical moments.
Fortunately, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao have already developed a certain foundation in many aspects, and both of them have strong learning abilities.
After a period of training, both of them successfully passed the assessment and became qualified astronauts.
After completing the assessment, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao both felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"These days of training feel like the most fulfilling period of my life. I never thought that one day I would be able to master so many skills," said Lu Zhiyao.
During this period, they mastered skills including but not limited to: how to stay hydrated in the desert, how to make a fire to keep warm in the snow, how to set up a tent in the jungle, etc.
Xu You and Lu Zhiyao's shooting, swimming and other skills have also reached the level of professional athletes.
They even mastered several foreign languages besides , especially Soviet Chinese, which they must be familiar with.
After all, the Soviet Union is the largest country on the blue planet. If any unexpected situation occurs when the spacecraft returns, the possibility of landing in the Soviet Union is very high.
The completion of Xu You and Lu Zhiyao's training marked that their landing on the moon had entered the final stage.
At this time, the new space suit that Xu You participated in designing had completed processing, testing and other work, and was sent to the moon by an aerospace fighter.
An astronaut on the moon bravely accepted the mission to explore the black hole.
He knew that this mission was dangerous, but he still did not hesitate.
Before going down, the astronaut made all preparations.
Due to the special nature of this mission, it will not be announced to the public and there will be no live broadcast process.
Before the mission began, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao also came to the control center of the Academy of Space Technology, ready to watch this lunar underground exploration mission carefully.
This is the first time that human astronauts have traveled underground on the moon. No matter what happens next, Xu You hopes to gain valuable experience from this mission to help him complete the next mission.
Although Lu Zhiyao was unlikely to go down, she was watching the scene on the screen as carefully as Xu You.
If something unexpected really happens later, Lu Zhiyao will have to persuade Xu You.
When it was time to start the mission, the astronaut, wearing a new version of the space suit, came to the entrance of the black hole.
Next to the astronaut, there were two Gophers, which served as the astronaut's assistants and dived into the black hole with him.
The Mole can use its powerful climbing ability to help astronauts complete various actions in the hole.
In this way, the astronauts moved down the rope little by little, and under the guidance of the Gopher, they dived into the black hole.
Under the illumination of the Gopher, the originally pitch-black hole became filled with light.
"So far, everything is very normal." Xu Youxin said.
Xu You's attention was not only on the screen, but also on the space suit and the various data measured by the Mole.
Judging from the initial exploration, this mission was no different from the previous dive by the Gopher alone.
This at least proves that the black holes will not cause any rejection reaction due to the entry of living things.
But in subsequent missions, the danger level will gradually increase.
Because no obvious electromagnetic waves from the moon's interior can be detected at the entrance of the cave, it is impossible to determine whether these electromagnetic waves will change due to the entry of astronauts.
As the astronauts went deeper, a prompt came from the control center.
