Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 6 Guanghan Palace

Everything is going in a good direction.

Soon, the transport boat ended its acceleration phase and the engine shut down.The transport craft will then drift toward the moon with inertia. After reaching a predetermined distance, it will turn the direction of the engine to slow down, and then dock and dock with the Queqiao transfer station in lunar orbit.

Yue Yuan will change transportation there again.

Yes, it is so troublesome. With the current level of human technology, although it is possible to land a transport ship directly on the moon, the nuclear fission used in this thing has too high a radiation risk, so it is basically only used in space.

Shenzhou space plane, Tiangong Space Station, Queqiao transfer station, Yutu shuttle vehicle, Guanghan Palace lunar base, Yue Yuan relied on creations that have been turned from myths into reality by technology to reach the moon.

Guanghan Palace is not a palace, but the name of a base composed of a cluster of multi-height buildings located on the moon. The entire site is called Guanghan Palace Base, but people generally like to call it Guanghan Palace.

Maybe it's the beautiful vision of the moon in my heart that's causing trouble.

After experiencing a set of safety procedures and sterilization, Yue Yuan and his party of four got on the moon rover and headed non-stop towards the target person.

The lunar rover is electric and comes with its own solar charging panel and, of course, a wired charging socket.The car is larger than ordinary cars, and it doesn't feel crowded when carrying four people.

Due to the frequent traffic of vehicles, a smooth road has been formed from the landing site to Guanghan Palace. Not long after, the lunar rover passed a fork in the road. To the right was the Artemis Base. The lunar rover turned a corner here. Drive left.

Although the locations of the bases are different, the landing and landing areas are shared.

Soon, the Guanghan Palace complex came into Yue Yuan's sight.

The entire Guanghan Palace is located inside a huge lunar crater. Looking from a distance, one can see solar panels distributed in a circular array on the periphery, while interconnected arc-shaped buildings are located in the middle.In the space between the building and the solar panels, there are also pot-lid-shaped radars scattered at random.

Yue Yuan's lunar rover drove into the base through the U-shaped entrance of the solar panel. He did not get off the vehicle outside the building. The lunar rover drove directly into the protruding building at the front.

This is the lunar rover parking room.

Yue Yuan saw that after the lunar rover entered, the outer hatch at the back closed automatically, and then an airlock door slowly closed amidst the sound of voice announcements.

Yue Yuan is familiar with this process. The next step is to inflate the parking space to balance the air pressure. After the inflation is completed, he can open the door and get out of the car. At this time, the airlock door leading to the main building of the base will open.

If you are traveling on a lunar rover, this process will be reversed.

It's the same as the astronauts who went out of the spacecraft in the last century, except that their space suits were replaced by lunar rovers.

It happened to be off-duty time. After wandering around the base, Yue Yuan and his team finally found Dr. Yi, who had made an appointment in advance.

Dr. Yi's name is Yi Kai. He has a doctorate in biogenetics and cell dynamics. He is an academician of the Institute of Biological Genetics and the president of the Society of Cell Biology. He is currently the leader of the moon base's genetic recombination research team.

When Yue Yuan found him, he had just come out of the laboratory.

"Dr. Yi, I finally found you." Seeing the doctor with half-white hair, Yue Yuan took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face.

"You are Young Master Yue"

Dr. Yi Kai's face looked confused for a while, but then his eyes widened and turned into a look of surprise and realization.

Seeing that Yi Kai almost shouted, Yue Yuan quickly put his index finger on his lips, interrupted his words, and said, "Dr. Yi, please take a step to speak."

"As it should be." Yi Kai held up the frame on the bridge of his nose, nodded, and made a gesture of invitation.Obviously, he had received notification from his superiors in advance and knew some general information.

This reaction probably came from not expecting Yue Yuan to come in person.

Sure enough, as soon as the two came to the meeting room together, Yi Kai said with a smile: "I didn't expect Major General Yue to come in person. Yi is really flattered. To be honest, I planned to leave for Callisto tomorrow."

What does it mean to be flattered? Yue Yuan rolled his eyes, looked at this doctor who was nearly seventy years old but still very strong, and said: "Don't say such flattery. I heard that you can usually That's not the case." "Hahaha!" Yi Kai smiled heartily, pulled the chair next to him, and slowly leaned his body against it, then looked at the standing Yue Yuan with a raised brow, and continued: "That depends too. Man, Major General Yue is able to organize the Callisto base so impressively at such a young age. He is also one of the leaders in the new era and deserves a few words of flattery from me."

Uh. Why did you change from Yi to me?

Yue Yuan heard that this old man was from the last century and hibernated twice for unknown reasons. This was intriguing, because there was a strict review mechanism for the use of hibernation, and not just anyone could hibernate.

What's more amazing is that after waking up from hibernation, he still relies on his excellent ability to stand firmly in the field of cutting-edge science, and he is a reinforcement for the future.

This information is not on his resume, but Yue Yuan calculated that Yi Kai should be the legendary post-[-]s generation. After all, hibernation technology only matured in the second half of the last century.

By law, hibernation time is not included in age statistics.

"Doctor is very refreshing, but it is better to explain some things in advance. Do you know that after going to Callisto, I don't know how long it will be before I return to Earth," Yue Yuan reminded.

He knew that people in the last century had a very strong attachment to their homeland, and would return their ashes to the earth when they died, so he reminded him, after all, if he went there, he might actually leave his ashes there for the rest of his life. .

But after saying that, Yue Yuan felt a little strange. He was obviously here to pick up Yi Kai to go to Callisto, but he was persuaded to leave. Moreover, he was actually from the last century.

"Dia, uh" Yi Kai habitually spit out some kind of mantra of his time. He didn't have the self-consciousness of a seventy-year-old man at all, but he immediately reacted: "Um, wherever the country needs it, go wherever it is. Besides, if you can It’s really a dream to go to Callisto, the forefront of exploring the universe.”

"That would be great, but before that I hope that the doctor will take a good look at these. If there is no problem, I will ask Pi Te to bring over the official documents and sign them later." Yue Yuan took out an internal mobile phone from behind, and then lit it up He clicked a few times on the screen and handed it to Yi Kai.

As for the contents of the confidentiality agreement, when Yi Kai heard what Yue Yuan said, he knew the approximate contents of the phone. After all, he had signed many of these.

Different projects have different confidentiality levels, and he still knows this.However, when he looked at the content casually, his expression was solemn.

After a while, Yi Kai, who was shaking his beard and carefully reading the content, looked up at Yue Yuan, only to find that the latter had walked to the window of the meeting room at some point and didn't know what he was looking at.

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?" Yi Kai murmured.

He didn't expect that the project he was going to participate in this time was actually top-secret, and it was the kind that was particularly emphasized, that is, the confidentiality period was not 20 years, but lifelong.

Yue Yuan's ears were sensitive, so he heard it. He turned around and said with a smile: "It's not an exaggeration, it's normal operation."

"project."

"I can't tell you the content of the project until Callisto. How is it going? Do you want to go?"

"Go, cliff. Uh, I have to go!"

"Pack your things and leave on time at 07:30 tonight."

Seeing that Yi Kai was so straightforward and determined, Yue Yuan didn't waste any time and immediately decided on the itinerary.

In fact, if he hadn't seen in the information that Yi Kai was quite senior, he wouldn't have come down to pick him up in person. Anyway, the appointment had already arrived, so he could just go back to Callisto and the others.

It's just that this project is a bit special.It is really related to him, and he must be involved in it, so Yue Yuan thinks it is better to meet the main person in charge of the project first.

After all, although he didn't mind giving out the serum for research, it would always be much more psychologically comfortable to give it to someone he knew better.

This simple meeting made Yue Yuan have a good impression of the future project leader. Although he was old, he was a sweet-tempered person.

Yi Kai, who had been notified earlier, quickly finished the last chores and followed Yue Yuan neatly on the road to Callisto.
