Great Country Academician

With the successful launch of the three space shuttles, Hanhai, Xinghai and Fuyao, the mission of the ground command center has been completed in stages.

The rest is to complete the docking with the materials transported by other aerospace companies in low-Earth orbit and go to the moon.

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

With his family, he returned to the villa at the foot of Zijin Mountain from Xiashu, waiting for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It can be regarded as a quiet place in the hustle and bustle, and a reunion in the busyness.

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

In the living room, Xu Xiao held half a watermelon, ate it with a spoon, and turned on the big TV that was rarely turned on throughout the year.

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

Digging a large spoonful of watermelon, Xu Xiao puffed his cheeks and asked curiously while eating.

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

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

Neither Musk, the U.S. Department of Commerce, nor the gentlemen in Congress are likely to agree.

Xu Chuan casually replied: "It was exchanged for the foreign authorization of lithium-sulfur batteries."

Hearing this answer, Xu Xiao suddenly understood.

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

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

Musk will not suffer much loss if he loses Neuralink, but if Tesla goes down, it can be said to be a devastating blow to his career.

After chatting for a while, Xu Xiao held the watermelon in his hand, his black eyes rolled around for a while, smiled slyly, and stretched out his hand to poke Xu Chuan's arm.

"Brother, tell me the truth. How far have you and Sister Jiaxin developed?"

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

Xu Xiao was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "There are no other girls in your life except Sister Jiaxin. And besides family, have you allowed anyone else to come here? If I remember correctly, it seems that only Sister Jiaxin has come to this villa."

Xu Chuan glanced at her and said: "Did you forget the last birthday?"

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

This is indeed true, although many people came here for the last birthday.

But besides family, the only one who stayed here overnight was the senior sister.

Including Zheng Hai and medical assistant Tang Sijia, neither of them lived in this villa.

Xu Chuan let out a long sigh and said, "What do you know, little kid?"

Xu Xiao immediately retorted, "Brother, I'm already 25, how can I be a child!"

"Besides, I'm a girl, so what? Do you know more about girls than me?"

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 a relationship yet, right? Aren't you asexual?"

"Or"

"Do you like boys? Are you gay?"

While she was talking, she seriously speculated, "I think my speculation makes sense. It seems that there are really few girls around you, but there are a lot of boys, such as Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Lin Feng."

Xu Chuan was a little crazy. He picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it over, saying, "You've read too many fuwen novels. What are you guessing all day long? I'm a normal person, okay?"

Xu Xiao stuck out his tongue and skipped the topic.

But to be honest, from the perspective of her younger sister, if that senior sister Jiaxin had not become her sister-in-law, she might not have a sister-in-law.

With her brother's personality, he might really do something like never getting married and focusing on academic research.

On the other side, in the deep space of more than 100,000 kilometers, three silver-white space shuttles dragged blue-white tail flames and sailed towards the silver-gray planet.

If the journey of dozens of hours were placed on the earth, it would indeed be called far away.

But in the vast and boundless deep space of the universe, it can be said to be within reach.

With the correction of one command after another, the silver-gray planet gradually came into the eyes of the people on the space shuttle.

Slow down, enter orbit, orbit around, and reduce altitude.

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

On the moon, above the Aitken Basin in Antarctica, with the adjustment of the orbit of the space shuttle, the Xinghai high-speed passed over the moon outpost scientific research station base.

Then, a prism-shaped landing module was slowly dropped from the high-altitude orbital sand trench, and slowly fell on the silvery white lunar soil along the calculated orbit, stirring up rolling lunar dust.

In the lunar module, with the help of another astronaut, Xi Hongwen unfastened the nylon buckle that fixed his body, slowly controlled his body and stood up.

Before him, the astronaut leading the team had already opened the hatch and walked out.

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

He walked out of the lunar module steadily along the gangway of the lunar module. When he stepped on the ground, he felt a dreamy feeling.

"How does it feel?"

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

"It's hard to imagine."

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

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

At that time, for them, landing on the moon was still a distant term, and they would never think that they would be able to leave the earth before the age of forty.

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

If nothing unexpected happens, he is the first physicist who has received 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 in this mission, he was the only physicist.

The others were either engineers, biologists, material scientists, etc.

At present, there is basically only one scholar and one engineer in each field. In addition to the personnel stationed at the lunar outpost research station, there are almost three personnel in each research field.

Jiang Xinlin smiled and said, "If you don't feel unwell, then start working. The lunar rover at the base will be here soon. We have to take down the materials and equipment carried by the lunar module before then, and then transport them together."

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