The moon is in chaos.

Administrative bureaucrats are working hard to calm the emotions of the civilians and tell them that everything will be fine. Although no one knows where the future is, this big planet is undoubtedly everyone's new home. Before the situation worsens, the best way is to stay calm, at least your life safety is not threatened.

Military people entered the scientific research area and received popular science education from the scientist team in the auditorium and situation predictions.

"We all know that light years are not commonly used in interstellar travel." Zhang Bolin stood on the podium, speaking in English. He was deeply grateful that he returned to the moon a few days before such a major change occurred and continued to engage in lunar research.

According to the legal logic of the Anglo-American legal system, intentional homicide is the result of the crime. If no one is killed, then there is no criminal fact. As for human experiments... the jury believes that Zhang Bolin's behavior does not constitute the basic element of the experiment, it lacks broadness, non-targeting and repetitiveness, so it is just a "act that lacks consideration."

As a result, Zhang Bolin was acquitted and continued to perform the employment contract signed with the US government.

"We often use AU," said Zhang Berlin. "It is equal to the average distance between the earth and the sun. The value currently used is 149,597,870,691±30 meters. That is 149,597,871 kilometers, or 92,955,807 miles. It is about 8.317 light minutes, or 499 light seconds."

Duda sat among the officers and found that many people were taking notes.

——But, it’s all my business! I just want to know where we went and whether we could go home!

Duda admires those who can calmly take notes, and can still be so easy to learn in this situation.

"How many AUs are we from the Earth now? Or whatever unit you say!" A irritable American military officer couldn't help but shout.

Who is in the mood to take a science class? What everyone is more concerned about is a real problem!

"This is the foundation of knowledge," Zhang Bolin ignored the man's arrogant attitude at all. "The principle of the jump is to energize matter and reorganize matter after passing through the medium. The energy loss in the process is filled by the medium. This medium may be the space of the universe or the energy attached to the object itself, which cannot be determined by our technology. But no matter what, this jump has an upper and lower limit."

"That is, can scientists find our location?" Lieutenant General O'Neil asked.

"Of course!" Zhang Bolin said confidently, "If we calculate the mass of the moon about 7350 megatons, E=mc2... Even if we fly at the speed of light, it will require a positive infinity of energy, which is enough to cause space to collapse to form a black hole. I'm not sure if there is a black hole behind us now... but our actual operating distance should be..."

"Your idea is completely unsupported!" The questioning came first from the scientist team, Zheng Ran. He stood on the podium and grabbed the microphone: "What is the need for the lunar people to move such a huge base? Now it should be the time for the soldiers. Let them calculate the coverage radius of the lunar base, and the end point must be on the radius extension line."

The military staff swept away the drowsy and sluggishness just now and began to make calculations. If calculated based on the cruising radius of the Tang-level class, the moon base can cover the maximum spherical space of an AU. The key point of this calculation is that the moon is a mothership.

If the moon is a base that is one level higher than the mothership and can accommodate more motherships, then it is unknown how many times its combat radius can be expanded.

"From the simulation program, it is very likely that the moon is a mothership." Zheng Ran said, "Then this jump point is likely to be 1.5AU."

"1.5AU? Not even the solar system is out? Does the moon want to move its butt and observe the Earth or other planets in another position?" Zhang Bolin angrily took back the microphone, "Okay, I admit that I can't speculate on the end, but the upper limit is very clear. We cannot fly out 50,000 light-years within four and a half hours. That is the radius of the Milky Way, which means we won't fly out of the Milky Way."

"How will this conclusion help us in our current situation?" Yang Xi asked.

"The farthest star body that humans can observe is 13.2 billion light-years. As long as we do not fly out of the Milky Way, we have mature star maps that identify our locations. We will find ways to go home to provide information." Zheng Ran replied.

"I really don't know who is the chief scientist of this base." Zhang Bolin said to Zheng Ran very dissatisfiedly.

"I don't know either." Zheng Ran dispelled his offensive lightly, "but I don't mind helping."

"Two gentlemen!" General O'Neil stood up, "It's not the time to argue. We have to think about how we pull it back if the moon stays at the edge of the solar system!"

This is the problem.

Du Da doubted whether Zheng Ran would use lunar DNA cell specimens to imitate a biochemical person - if the technology in science fiction can be realized, even so, it is not guaranteed that the biochemical person can hold a meeting on the moon... If it really stops at the edge of the solar system, then how many years will it take for him to drive Princess Pingyang home?

The reality is very sad. Princess Pingyang, as the fastest aircraft that humans can use, has a combat radius of only 1AU and the farthest cruise radius will not exceed 3AU. Even if she flies desperately, she will never fly back to Earth.

"If you want to go home, it is impossible to rely on our own technology." Zhang Bolin said, "There is only light industry on the moon, and the only heavy industry is the large spacecraft dock. Monitoring shows that it has been completely damaged during the jump." In order to facilitate material transportation, loading and unloading, the dock is built on the surface of the moon. During the jump, the entire surface seems to have been cleaned.

This loss certainly makes people feel heartbroken, but it makes people feel gratified that the crater on the surface of the moon was not affected, which means that a large amount of helium 3 and other resources are still preserved.

"Then now we have to consider another question." General O'Neil said, "Can the moon support human life for a long time, even for generations."

"The atmosphere required for life maintenance is free of food and water." Zheng Ran said, "The experimental seeds brought by the earth mature very quickly, and we can quickly meet the staple food needs of two million people, but we lack protein and fat."

"What is the concept of Qique?" Yang Xi frowned.

"There are only three types of mammals available for consumption, each of which is fifty pairs." Zheng Ran said, "The experimental white rats are large, but most people probably cannot eat them."

"This is bad news. In the future when we are unknown, we can only eat vegetarians." Zhang Bolin smiled. "It's good news for me, I'm a vegetarian."

"What should I do if sewers, garbage disposal?" asked a Russian colonel.

"In terms of domestic sewage, we have been using the Lunar Man's system." A Russian scientist said directly without waiting for others to finish the translation, "I once dumped small floating balls into the drainage pipe, but they did not appear in any visible water sources, so it is impossible to determine where the water will eventually be discharged. As for domestic waste, there are two medium-sized waste incinerators on the edge of each residential area, and the exhaust gas will be purified by the lunar system."

After listening to him, Duda felt that he was a person with a broad mind. In addition to briefly thinking of his parents, he quickly told himself: there is no problem with food, drink, defecation, clothing, housing and transportation, so it seems that he will not live a very painful life here.

——What’s more! There is Tao Jiu!

Duda remembered Tao Jiu who was on duty in the monitoring room, and a sweet feeling appeared in her heart.

The meeting continued, and administrative bureaucrats who had no way to understand the information came to the scientific research area, hoping to participate in the meeting.

A strange scene appeared: the officers and scientists showed completely different reactions.

Scientists believe that administrative personnel should know all information so that they can appease the people and further ensure the stability of the lunar base.

But the soldiers think that it is not the time. After learning the truth, two million people are likely to have extreme behaviors and seriously undermine social security. In this case, the army should temporarily control the situation and let the people gradually accept the reality.

The first internal debate on the moon base was born.

Scientists accused the military of greed for power and intended for military dictatorship.

The three parties are rarely united, believing that the military should assume this responsibility, and reminding scientists that the bureaucracy is the enemy of scientific research. Apart from using stupid reasons to deduct scientific research funds and urge scientific research results, I have never done anything else good.

Some scientists agree with this, while others believe that once military dictatorship is a problem, it will also cause such a problem. And military dictatorship will lead to the suppression of ideas... When saying this, the American scientist directly turned his distrustful eyes to Yang Xi.
