Vol 2 Chapter 1007: Drive into the crater

These real-time images will be broadcast live immediately after simple processing. And this also allowed the outsiders to watch the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover on the moon for the first time in a live broadcast.

　　 Seeing that the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover slowly drove up the small "crater" slightly raised on the edge of this small crater, looked for a pass, and then slowly drove down from here.

The inner crater edge of the crater is relatively steep, so the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover does not travel directly downwards, but uses an oblique downward travel method, as much as possible. Control the speed of the car.

　　 Fortunately, the **** is not high, only 20 to 30 meters, so the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover quickly descended into the crater.

This crater is another situation. Because it is a new impact crater, the dust has not yet settled, so it is relatively soft, so the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover travels slowly on it. .

　　 This crater of more than 100 meters is not all platforms. The deeper it goes to the center, the deeper it is, and there is a small bulge at the center. I don’t know if it is the core of the asteroid or the rock and soil splashed by the impact of the asteroid.

　　 This location is good, right here. Zhang Qutong, who has been paying close attention to the movement of the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol vehicle, nodded and said after watching the images and data information transmitted by the high-definition surveillance camera and various sensors.

　　 When other researchers saw this, they stared at the image data for a while and nodded in agreement.

　　 Let's go here. As Zhang Qutong determined the drilling point, the ground telemetry control center sent instructions and the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover began to travel to the designated drilling point, and then controlled the robotic arm to replace the drill bit and start the drill bit.

　　 But things didn't seem to go as smoothly as they had imagined. The drill bit went deep into the ground for a while, seeing the rising dust widely, but never saw the pit.

　　 No, the soil is too soft, it's like digging a hole in a pile of loose sand, and it's buried in the sand just after it's been drilled. A technical expert frowned, staring at the big screen.

　　 Then what should I do? Zhang Qutong couldn't help but worried and asked.

　　 Shi Zhaoping stared at the surveillance video that was transmitted back for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Stop it now. It will be useless to continue."

　　 Hearing Shi Zhaoping's words, the ground remote control personnel immediately sent a plan, and the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover also stopped the drilling mission.

　　 "Since the lunar soil is soft, let's not explore the pit, and just press down the lunar soil and geological environment probe through the robotic arm." Shi Zhaoping frowned for a while and then proposed a solution.

　　 Can this work? An expert asked.

Shi Zhaoping smiled and said: "This is the best and most trouble-free method so far. If it doesn't work anymore, then we can only change the robotic arm to a shovel, dig the pit, and then put the lunar soil and geology on the moon. Load the environmental probe in and fill it with soil."

　　When they heard Shi Zhaoping's words, everyone nodded. Shi Zhaoping's last plan seemed good, but it was too time-consuming and laborious. It was the last choice. Of course, there is another option, which is to abandon the installation of detectors here, but this also means that they will provide an excellent opportunity to collect relevant data in such a special terrain environment at one time.

　　 Use manual control instead. Seeing the crowd nodded, Shi Zhaoping immediately issued instructions.

　　 Under the control of ground personnel, the large and one small mechanical arms on the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover began to work together.

　　 First, the large robotic arm took out a lunar and geological environment probe from the vehicle shelf, and then handed it over to the small robotic arm to hold it, while the large robotic arm pressed it from the top.

　　 As the large robotic arm gradually exerted force, I saw this lunar soil and geological environment probe slowly piercing into the lunar soil and getting deeper and deeper.

　　 After pressing to the proper depth, the large robotic arm immediately stopped to complete the task of placing the lunar soil and geological environment probe this time.

　　 The next step is to activate the lunar soil and geological environment probe. After pressing just now, it is not clear whether this probe will be damaged.

Under the gaze of everyone, as the order was issued, the lunar lunar and geological environment probe began to activate. In between, it first stretched out the solar panel to unfold, and then stretched out the communication antenna, the top of the probe The indicator light also flickered slowly and regularly.

　　Flap, pop...

　　 There was a burst of warm applause in the Xinyuehu Aerospace Command and Control Hall. Shi Zhaoping, who had been serious, had a smile on his face, and immediately signaled everyone to continue to work.

The next step is to collect lunar soil and lunar rock samples. Compared to the first time, this time under the advice of experts, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover did not choose to collect lunar soil at one point. Moon rock samples, but chose to collect soil samples from different locations throughout the crater. Including the outside of the crater, the edge of the crater, the point inside the crater, and the center of the crater.

After collecting the relevant lunar soil and moon rock samples, next, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover will drive into the center of this crater. They want to detect and collect. Lunar soil and lunar rock samples located in the uplift part of the crater center.

　　 At the same time, the previous lunar lunar soil and geological environment probe, which was pressed into the lunar soil dust layer and started working, also started to work, and transmitted back the first set of data.

　　 It can be seen that the temperature of the lunar soil here has increased significantly compared to the first one. The soft soil seems to be conducive to temperature maintenance. A research expert said with a smile looking at the data.

The previous expert put forward a different argument and said: "I think this is because it is suddenly softer, which causes the direct sunlight to enter, so the temperature is too high. In contrast, the moon at the previous drilling site The soil is relatively compact and has a better insulation against temperature, so the temperature is relatively low."

　　 Hearing what this expert said, the other experts present nodded involuntarily.

　　 While the experts were discussing, the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar patrol rover had driven into the middle of the crater, and pointed the high-definition optical image sensor and high-definition surveillance camera at the raised brown object.

　　 does not seem to be the lunar soil, it should be the nucleus of an asteroid. An expert excitedly put forward his opinion.

　　 The texture is very hard, it should be the nucleus, which is really great. Another expert affirmed.

　　 Hearing the words of these two experts, the other experts also showed excitement. In their opinion, this is no longer a star core, but a piece of gold, no, it should be a diamond, it is a priceless treasure.
