The situation in the space agency conference room in Murakan could not affect the moon, at least not at all before their lunar landing ships landed on the moon.

On the way, geologist Peng Zizhen took the lead, and he was driving a tank truck to hold ice cubes behind the lunar rover.

Lin Yang followed behind, and a simple cart was hanging behind the lunar rover she was driving. Oh, it was not even a cart, and there were no boards on it. In order to reduce weight, it was just a welded rack.

The shelf has four small wheels, the ones that are powerless are all dragged, and there are many tools and boxes on it.

Both cars were rushing at a speed of 32 kilometers per hour. If the fenders on the wheels had not restricted the raised lunar soil, the forest ocean walking behind would have been shrouded in the high raised lunar soil and moon dust.

Originally they shouldn't drive so fast, because you have to be careful when driving in the original place, because you don't know where it looks fine. In fact, there is only a thin structure on the top, and the bottom is a bottomless fault.

When the vehicle rushed up all at once, it was likely to turn into archaeological ruins and human lunar monuments.

However, the road they took was a proven road. The lunar rover wanted to find water, so they needed to attack everywhere. In ten months, they had already wadeed several safe routes between Moon Palace II and the shadow area.

If this is really the first time I take this route, the two will stop and stop according to the path exploration agreement, and the leads will change people every once in a while.

In fact, Peng Zizhen, who was leading the way, has wanted to stop the car countless times. As a geologist, before he even conducted geological investigations, he put sandbags for several hours first.

Ah Fu joked that it was also a geological investigation, but he didn't recognize it in his heart, so it was a geological investigation that was considered a ball.

Now that he was walking along the way, he was also observing the surroundings while driving, and found many excellent inspection points. He wished he got out of the car and took a geological hammer to knock on the stone. Unfortunately, it was not possible. Their mission this time was to enter the shadow area to retrieve the ice cubes.

Even if you can, it is best to figure out the ice reserves there at once.

At a high speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, they maneuver in a meteorite crater with a diameter of only 60 kilometers. In a short while, they arrived at the edge of the permanent shadow area not far from the base.

According to the multiple ruts there, 20 meters ahead is the "entry".

The two of them gradually slowed down and stopped here. Peng Zizhen came over to help Lin Yang move the box down and then began to assemble a device.

A thing called "Solar Capture and Reflection Tracking Device".

"Zizhen, you can set up the shelf first." Lin Yang said with a box.

"Okay, Sister Lin."

Upon hearing this, Peng Zizhen picked up the bracket, first used a laser leveling device and a shovel to sort out a small piece of flat ground, then opened the bracket and placed it in the middle.

The two of them took out the battery, turned the head, smart controller, etc., and all installed it.

Finally, Peng Zizhen opened a box, took out a few smooth metal lenses and put them together, and installed them on the steering head on the top of the bracket.

"Okay, Zizhen, you put the beacon on your lunar rover and let's test it."

Lin Yang activated the device, and the telescopic metal rods facing the metal mirror began to rise, and finally fixed it at ten meters high. Then the solar panels on both sides of the bracket also stood up, automatically adjusting the direction and angle, and setting out the most suitable solar energy acquisition angle.

Because the beacon tracking signal has not been activated, the metal reflector above does not adjust the exact angle, but is slowly rotating.

Peng Zizhen installed the beacon and turned on it, "It's OK, Sister Lin."

"Um."

Lin Yang responded, watching the metal lenses start looking for the beacon, and the reflected light column swept past the two of them, gradually shining on the lunar rover where the beacon was located, and then stabilized.

"Haha, it's done, Sister Lin, the solar energy acquisition rate of my car has increased!"

Seeing the increase in the intensity and energy conversion data received by the lunar rover, Peng Zizhen jumped happily.

As the first wave of astronauts to enter the lunar base in human history, it can be said that their every move is part of the experiment and represents a verification project of a solution.

If this device can meet the experimental requirements, it will be greatly reduced to mine water ice ore, and they can even use the easiest method to directly establish a refining center here.

"Don't be too happy too early," Lin Yang, as the deputy commander, said: "You get in the car and move to the shadow area and we need more comparison data."

"Okay, Sister Lin."

Peng Zizhen took the order to stand in the driver's seat and operated the handle to drive his lunar rover forward. Because of the accuracy of the beacon and the flexibility of the lens turning head, the tracking of the light source has always been stable and there is no big fluctuation.

Entering the permanent shadow area, even if the searchlight of the rover is not turned on, there is some light around it.

First, because the reflective lenses are relatively large and the reflected light source area is also large, some light will pass through the vehicle structure and the surroundings and project onto the moon surface. Second, some smooth surfaces of the lunar rover will reflect light, which can also make the surroundings slightly brighter.

Entering the shadow area, there is no original sunlight, only the light flashed by the mirror. In addition, Peng Zizhen may block some light when driving the vehicle, but overall, at least 60% of the solar panels receive light, and the energy conversion rate is OK.

With the added large battery, the modified lunar rover is more than enough to reach the power-free lunar rover.

If you want to go deeper, it may not work. The height of the light reflector is limited and the surface curvature of the moon is large. If the vehicle goes down a slope or pit, it will not be exposed.

However, this is enough. As long as you pass the test and verify, it is proved that this solution is available, a larger device will be made on the ground and a more professional light receiving device will be built. Sooner or later, humans will be unobstructed in the permanent shadow area.

"The test is completed and the device can be used."

Lin Yang checked the reflection function system and said: "Zizhen, then follow the plan. There are three tasks: one is to drag out the dead moon rover, the second is to collect ice, and the third is to confirm the impact of reflected light on the permanent shadow area."

"We have enough time and the task will be carried out according to the plan. Don't be impatient and keep communicating with me, the base, and the ground command center at all times. If you have any questions, ask. Do you understand?"

"clear."

In the shadow area, the searchlight of the rover has been turned on, and his eyes are firmly looking at the darkness in the depths, and he said.

The vehicle advances according to the ruts that were pressed out before, and the mirror surface outside rotates. The reflected light column pierces the darkness like a sharp sword, providing inexhaustible energy to the lunar rover, and providing heat to astronauts and lunar rovers to reduce energy consumption.

According to the plan, Lin Yang and others were on the edge of the shadow area, just like the previous grouping plan, leaving rescue power and carrying out other tasks by the way.

Lin Yang took care of the reflective equipment and then reported the situation to the ground command center.

The ground command center can see data, hear the full communication of astronauts, and even see everything from the perspective of the camera in the space suit. However, some things still need to be reported by the astronauts themselves and confirmed.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, Peng Zizhen has driven the lunar rover into the permanent shadow area."

"The specular reflection device was initially proven to be effective, with stable reflected ray tracing, high energy conversion rate, and continuous supply of electricity."

"The results in the later stage are to be observed..."
