With the current technological level on Earth, launching rockets or spacecraft into space is still very difficult.

To ensure success, a lot of time must be spent on preparation. Apart from other things, just calculating the orbit and selecting the launch date is a troublesome matter that requires a lot of computing resources.

Of course, the more intuitive consumption is still reflected in the materials and funds.

Calculated in billions of units, if the requirement of "manned" is attached, the expenses will have to double.

Let's put it this way, if the cost of research and development and experiments is not particularly high, even so high that small countries with average economic conditions cannot afford it, the number of countries that have mastered aerospace technology will not be so few that they can be counted on one's fingers, only China, the United States, Russia and a few others.

What does this situation mean?

It means that other planets and satellites in the solar system, including the moon, are virgin land that has never been developed by humans.

"Huh?!"

"Sir, I found something." While bending down and reaching out to pick up the suspicious object on the ground, Leo Fitz excitedly connected the signal and shouted to Coulson not far away: "You will never guess what I found."

"I'll come right over." Coulson agreed, squatted slightly, and rushed over from a hundred meters away with several big jumps.

The communicator carried in the space suit, the signal must be transferred through the spacecraft. The conversation between Leo Fitz and Coulson naturally fell into the ears of the second and third groups of people who had not yet disembarked.

With a bit of curiosity, Shi Xiaolei also put on a respirator, got off the ship and walked to the position of the two.

The white space suits worn by others did not look very conspicuous in the gray and white background. Only Shi Xiaolei looked very eye-catching-not because he was too burly and felt that it was a bit wasteful to make a space suit specifically for himself, so he did not let Stark do it. It was because when he was teleported to the depths of the universe, Shi Xiaolei had already made himself a few breathing masks. With that stuff, combined with his body that was far more resistant to cosmic ray radiation and temperature changes than ordinary people, it was enough for him to adapt to the environment on the surface of most planets.

To put it bluntly, his only reliance on the space suit was oxygen supply. If this demand could be guaranteed by other means, Shi Xiaolei would not have to wear a space suit.

For example, now, Shi Xiaolei was wearing a casual outfit.

The red coat specially selected for a good start looked very conspicuous on the gray and white moon. Even Connor, Skye and others who had already played, noticed Shi Xiaolei's actions at the first time.

In this way, whether it was the first batch of people who did not hear the cabin broadcast, or those who followed Shi Xiaolei down the ship and heard the two conversations between Coulson and Leo Fitz through the cabin broadcast, everyone went to where the two were.

"What's so amazing?" Shi Xiaolei came up to Coulson with two big jumps and patted his shoulder.

"A can." Coulson turned around and handed the thing in his hand to Shi Xiaolei: "Coca-Cola."

"......."

"It looks like someone is joking, right?" Coulson shrugged: "Like you, I can't figure out why it's here."

"Could it be left by the people who landed on the moon?" Skye, who came closer, raised his hand and made a guess: "Didn't they plant a flag on the moon? It's not hard to understand to leave a can of Coca-Cola behind, right? I remember reading an article before, saying that Coca-Cola was once supplied to all soldiers as military supplies during World War II. At some point, they even valued Coke more than guns and ammunition."

The implication is that Coke is also one of the representative objects of American characteristics, and its significance is equivalent to the national flag.

"No, no, no, you're wrong." Leo Fitz objected.

"What's the reason?" Looking at Leo Fitz, Skye spread his hands: "Besides my guess, what other reasons can explain it?"

"I don't know why it appeared here, but I'm sure it was not brought by the passengers of Apollo 11." Leo Fitz analyzed with a little excitement: "First of all, the aerospace technology of that era was still very primitive. Armstrong and others sitting in the lunar module were wearing fully enclosed spacesuits. I mean, even in the cabin, they had to wear spacesuits and couldn't take off their helmets like we did in the spacecraft just now."

"You can't drink through the helmet, why bring this thing? Step back, if it was really brought here for commemorative significance, why would they open it, Pour out the drink inside? Besides, it is not reasonable to just leave it here after pouring it out. The flag was taken back, so why not take the can back? Wouldn't it be better to put it in a museum for display? Who would know if it was left here? "

"Finally, from a technical point of view... I still say that with the technology of that era, it is questionable whether the mission can be guaranteed to succeed. For safety reasons, Armstrong and his team would never bring something that would waste the takeoff load unnecessarily."

He said a lot of things in a very eloquent way, and his analysis was well-organized... Objectively speaking, Leo Fitz's words are still quite meaningful for reference.

It's just...

"Doesn't this have a production date?" Holding up the empty can, Kangna attracted everyone's attention.

Turning around to look, the bottom of the jar that Kang Na showed was indeed marked with a line of small black characters.

"I don't know what year Apollo 11 was launched, but I'm sure it was definitely not launched this year." Shi Xiaolei laughed silently: "November 2000... Wow, how old is this jar? It’s younger than we thought.”

While talking, Shi Xiaolei already had some guesses about the origin of this can.

Although Shi Xiaolei's expression at this time could not be seen clearly through the hood and mask, Coulson still noticed a hint of it from his tone.

"Locke, have you thought of anything?"

"The origin of this thing may be related to some of your director's old friends." As he spoke, Shi Xiaolei took back the empty can from Kangna's hand and threw it to Coulson: "Keep it, and wait until we get back. You can take it and ask Fury. As for whether he will answer your question, haha, it doesn’t count, it depends on his mood.”
