Fortunately, Jiang Ling, who had lost her good roommate, did not feel sad for too long. The spatial positioning training that had been in a paused state began again. The flexible screens that filled the entire room flashed a few times, and the irregular starry sky immediately formed an interesting pattern.
"Look under our feet, that blue bead must be the Earth!" someone in the crowd shouted.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw a planet about the size of a ping-pong ball, with six thin filaments visible along its equator. They were like spider webs wrapped around the corners of their old home, and only where the sunlight shone could they reflect metallic specks of light.
Not far from this sapphire bead, there is a bright silver celestial body of the same size. It now appears to be relatively stationary with the Earth, but that is just an illusion.
On the straight line connecting the two spheres, there is a golden bead emitting light and heat. It is not difficult for people to guess its true identity, but its apparent size is the same as the previous two. This rare sight has probably not been seen by anyone with their own eyes.
There were quite a number of astronomy enthusiasts in the crowd, and one of them, an astrophysicist, gave a crucial answer: "If my calculations are correct, we should be 1.38 million kilometers away from the Earth, right in the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, and the position of Mars is right there." She pointed to a wall.
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing and could vaguely find a dim, rusty-colored light among a group of stars, but no one could be sure that what they saw was the true appearance of Mars.
"Why are we here?" someone questioned. "I remember the documentation saying we should be relatively safe once we leave lunar orbit. Did they place us here because they've learned of other possible threats?"
"I think it might be the lunar missiles that caused the trouble. I heard in 1952 when we intercepted ground-to-ground missiles that some of the missiles were not aimed at the earth, but at the other side, away from the earth. Where those things went is unknown, and we no longer had the ability to track them more accurately at that time." A veteran from the strategic anti-missile force recalled.
"That should be the asteroid belt. I guess they are going to interfere with and destroy the fragile gravitational balance of the asteroid belt, so as to create countless hypersonic meteorites, thereby suppressing the extraterrestrial exploration of the entire solar system. Moon people, my God, this is... How short-sighted and anti-human!" Someone put forward his own opinion.
"So, there are still enemies on the moon?" asked a petite female comrade.
"Shortly before the war, Country M and Country E launched a batch of supplies. If the population of Moscow Sea Station and Zhi Sea Station dropped sharply - at least to half of the original population, then they could survive until the end of their lives." An informed person replied.
"What about our site?" someone else asked.
"Our work focus is not on the lunar research station. We knew 30 years ago that vegetables cannot be grown on the moon. Therefore, at that time, only engineers occasionally went to the moon to inspect the automated helium-3 mining unmanned system. The war broke out around Labor Day. You know our automation technology is not vegetarian... In short, no Z countryman was left behind by Chang'e to eat moon cakes." Someone was still in the mood to joke.
