Chapter 87 - Chapter 87 The Flagpole Left Behind by the United States

"Huh...that's good."

Standing on the command platform, Lv Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your report time is two minutes later than expected. What happened?"

The corners of Bai Yixiuan's eyes twitched slightly.

What's going on?

How should he answer this?!

Delayed because of the rock-paper-scissors game?

"Ahem..." Bai Yixuan coughed lightly, his eyes full of embarrassment, "Professor Lu, we were just discussing who would be the first to get off the plane."

Lu Yongchang: "…"

"How are you doing?"

Lu Yongchang changed the subject and did not ask about the details of the discussion.

Bai Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone suddenly became serious: "Report! The three astronauts are in good condition! They can leave the cabin at any time to carry out the moon landing mission!"

"Okay! Go according to the plan!"

Bai Yixiuan took a deep breath and was the first to unbuckle his seat belt.

"Everyone, we should prepare to leave the cabin!"

Half an hour later.

The three astronauts, wearing space suits, slowly entered the pressurized cabin at the bottom of the Xuannv-1 cabin.

As Bai Yixiuan pressed the switch, a clear prompt sound rang out in the helmets of the three people.

"Pressure balancing..."

"Pressure balanced!"

As the prompt sounded, the pressurized cabin had already become a vacuum state.

Bai Yixuan winked at Xia Wanyi who was standing beside him and said softly, "Wanyi, it's your turn!"

When Xia Wanyi heard the captain's order, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

The first Xia citizen to land on the moon, the first human woman to land on the moon!

These two titles were like stimulants that constantly stimulated her nerves.

She swallowed slightly and licked her slightly dry lips with her tongue.

Then, she took a step forward and held the circular handle of the door connecting the pressure cabin to the outside world with both hands.

She exerted a little force with her hands and the hatch moved.

As the hatch slowly opened, a silver-white gangway was slowly lowered.

At the same time, a green working indicator light lit up on a camera installed on the gangway.

The camera lens moved slowly, faithfully recording Xia Wanyi's every move.

Each frame of the picture is compiled and transformed into an electromagnetic wave signal, which is transmitted to the earth 400,000 kilometers away at the speed of light.

Ground command center.

Looking at the slightly blurry transmission images on the screen, every researcher's heart was lifted high!

Lu Yongchang swallowed slightly and clenched his fists tightly. He must not fail!

Xia Wanyi did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

A few minutes later, her feet stepped firmly on the gravel and dusty surface of the moon, leaving a deep footprint on it!

When she waved a bright red flag in her hand towards the camera, the entire command center, no, the entire Xia country was boiling!

"Success! We succeeded!"

Cao Liangcai, who was standing by, reached out and patted Lu Yongchang on the back: "Hahaha! Good job, kid!"

"We have finally caught up with the United States!"

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yongchang's mouth, and he said to himself: "Catch up?"

"Just catching up is not enough!"

Xiaguo News Weibo account immediately released the article that had already been edited!

"Warm congratulations to the Xia Kingdom's Xuannv-1 for its successful moon landing!"

As all three astronauts stepped onto the lunar surface, the camera stopped working.

The following content is not suitable for live broadcast!

"What should we do with this red flag?"

Xia Wanyi waved the red flag in her hand and asked softly through the radio.

Hearing Xia Wanyi's question, Hong Fan subconsciously turned his head and looked around.

It's desolate.

The ground was covered with gravel and fine dust.

Suddenly, a strange scenery attracted his attention.

"What's that pole?"

As Hong Fan spoke, he pointed into the distance.

Bai Yixuan took a quick look, frowned, and whispered, "It should be someone from the United States who stayed here, right?"

"I remember this is the landing site of Apollo 11."

"After so many years, the flag must have turned to ashes long ago due to the ravages of cosmic rays and solar winds."

Hong Fan suddenly understood.

"I see! Then our flag..."

Bai Yixuan chuckled: "Don't worry, Professor Lu has already considered this issue."

"As long as our red flag is not hit by a meteorite, it can be preserved for at least a few hundred years."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shrugged and added: "Of course, I am talking about the situation where there is no abnormality in the sun."

"As for where to plant our flag..." Bai Yixuan's eyes revealed a sly smile, "Why not plant it next to the American flagpole so that we can make a comparison!"

Hong Fan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Why don't you just pull out the US flagpole? Anyway, the flagpole has been almost eroded by the solar wind..."

As he spoke, Hong Fan walked quickly towards the flagpole left by the United States.

"No!" Bai Yixuan's tone suddenly became more serious. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Hong Fan's arm, saying in a deep voice, "No matter what, this is a symbolic sign in the development of human civilization. We must have basic respect for it!"

Hong Fan was slightly stunned.

He had never seen Bai Yixiuan so serious before.

The next moment, Bai Yixuan shrugged: "This is what Professor Lu told me. He anticipated this scene before taking off."

"That does make sense to me. Let's plant our flag next to it!"

Hong Fan: "…"

Looking at the bright red flag in front of him, Bai Yixiuan was a little absent-minded: "Sooner or later, we will plant this red flag all over the solar system!"

"That's too small!" Hong Fan laughed and joked, "What's the point of the solar system? According to Professor Lu's Heavenly Palace plan, our red flag can at least fill the entire Milky Way!"

A group of scientific researchers at the ground command center returned to their seats after a brief celebration.

Next comes the most important part of the entire moon landing plan!

"Bai Yixuan, you are responsible for collecting lunar soil and lunar rock samples!"

"Hong Fan, you drive the lunar rover to the target location to collect samples!"

"Xia Wanyi, you stay with Hong Fan to prevent any accidents!"

Lu Yongchang issued orders one after another with a serious expression.

Hearing the voice coming from the headphones, the expressions of the three astronauts suddenly became serious.

Next, all they have to do is to prepare for the next Moon Palace project.

In addition to setting up a complete communication environment for the moon, they need to carry out simple sampling work and make a secondary confirmation of the resource richness of the selected area.
