The three Excavators as they appear on Moon.

The Excavator is a giant mining machine. They are bucket-wheel excavators. They feature as interactive obstacles in the Zombies map Moon. They also make background appearances in the campaign level "Vorkuta" and the multiplayer map, Radiation in Call of Duty: Black Ops. They also make background appearances in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and in the mission "Down the Rabbit Hole" and Special Ops mission Black Ice in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. In Call of Duty: Ghosts the multiplayer map Behemoth is set on a giant excavator.

Moon

Three excavators appear in Moon: Pi, Epsilon and Omicron, each with their own control panel in the starting room. Periodically after turning the power on, a warning will play out in the beginning of a round telling that an excavator is about to breach an area of the station. The player will have four minutes (with rapid subsequent warnings in between) to use the Hacker on the panels in the starting room that control the excavators. The excavator can be seen slowly advancing towards the station, and if the correct panel (which glows green) is not hacked in time, it will breach into its assigned area, removing all oxygen and artificial gravity in that part of the map. The terminal can still be hacked afterwards, though oxygen and gravity will not be restored. Of the three excavator terminals in the spawn room, only Omicron is on the left side. Pi and Epsilon are together on the right side of the spawn room. All three terminals are very close to doors, making them easier to hack without oxygen in the spawn room.

The excavator can kill players as well if they come into contact with it. When the wheel is descending on the spot, it will kill any players without Juggernog immediately, though players with Juggernog can withstand the damage for a short time (similar to electric traps in earlier maps). When killed this way, the player cannot be revived and they will spawn next round. The player can also be downed by running into the wheel when it is already down, though this time the players can be revived.

Each excavator is assigned to a specific area:

Excavator Pi will breach Tunnel Six, blocking off the door closest to the power room and making it impossible to buy an M16 (or the Kuda in the Black Ops III version) or ammo for it.
Excavator Omicron will breach Tunnel Eleven, blocking off the second door from starting room and making it impossible to buy a PM63 (or the Pharo in the Black Ops III version) or ammo for it.
Excavator Epsilon will breach the Biodome, making the Gravity Lifts less hazardous as the player can no longer receive fall damage due to low gravity.

Allowing Excavator Pi to breach Tunnel Six and removing it is essential to completing Cryogenic Slumber Party and furthermore Richtofen's Grand Scheme and Big Bang Theory. This is because Excavator Pi breach's spawns in the Black Egg.

Achievements/Trophies

One Giant Leap (5 / Bronze Trophy ) - In Moon, become trapped in the Receiving Area and free yourself through resurrection in co-op. (Requires Excavators Pi and Omicron to be blocking off the Receiving/Starting Area from the rest of the map and activates the Easter Egg song Nightmare.)
Ground Control (10 / Bronze Trophy ) - In Moon, prevent each excavator from breaching the base in one game.
Cryogenic Slumber Party (75 / Silver Trophy ) - In Moon, complete Richtofen's Grand Scheme.
Big Bang Theory - (100) - In Moon, gain sweet, sweet, revenge.

Trivia

The name of each excavator on Moon is a letter from the Greek alphabet.
The stands the control panels are on have symbols for each excavator, an Ε (Epsilon), Ο (Omicron), and Π (Pi). The Ε is mistakenly placed on the control panel for Omicron, and the Ο is misplaced on Epsilon's control panel.
- This is not present in the Black Ops III version of the map.
Once an excavator has breached and then been hacked, it will come back in an interesting way: it will breach 30 seconds ahead of time. The player must wait until the full, normal countdown to finish before hacking it; otherwise, there will be an invisible drill that will kill them and cannot be hacked.
Killing an Astronaut Zombie will change the pattern of the excavator's activation.
Throwing a QED at the excavator will deactivate it in rare circumstances.

Moon Easter Egg Steps - Zombies Chronicles (DLC 5)

Posted in black ops 3

Black Ops 3 Zombies Chronicles includes a remastered version for one of the most infamous Treyarch maps of all time - Moon! In this guide you'll find a complete step by step walkthrough for the Moon Easter Egg, including both the original and any remastered Easter Eggs. As always, this is a text guide with explanatory steps and detailed screenshots to guide you through.

Concluding the Black Ops 1 zombies era, Moon substantially changed the course of history for the original four characters and led to the decimation of Earth and the birth of what would later become the first map of Black Ops 2 i.e. Tranzit. The Moon map released on Aug 23rd 2011, proceeding the Shangri-La map that launched two months prior.

Originally being the largest map in terms of playable area, Moon contains a number of unique additions such as: the Wave Gun, a dual wield ray gun style weapon; the Quantum Entanglement Device; the Hacker Device, which bypasses elements around the map; and the PES, a wearable helmet that provides oxygen for the player in low oxygen areas.

The official names for this Easter Egg are "Cryogenic Slumber Party" and "Big Bang Theory".

About the EE

Originally, the first half of the EE called Cryogenic Slumber Party was possible SOLO (steps 1- 6 below). The second half called Big Bang Theory was multiplayer only. Players will be pleased to know that in Zombies Chronicles the entire Moon EE is possible SOLO.

For the Big Bang Theory, one player in the group must be Richtofen and in the original Black Ops 1 game players had to complete the Shangri-La and Call of the Dead EE first before the Focusing Stone and Golden Rod would appear. In the remastered version, the player who is Richtofen starts with the Focusing Stone in his inventory, whether other EE's have been completed or not.

Before starting an EE attempt, learn the layout of the map carefully, paying particular attention to the location of the control panel rooms, the 6th mining tunnel and the pyramid room . During the EE you will need to use all of the games new additions including the Hacking Device, PES, Quantum Entanglement Device and Wave Gun, in addition to the returning Gersch Device.

Original EE - All Steps

1. Play Simon Says

Buy your way through the map until you reach the outside area with the four computer terminals side by side. Interact with the terminals to start a game of Simon says.

Watch carefully for the sequence of colours that flash on the screen, then repeat the sequence back by interacting with the terminals one by one. For this puzzle the key is:

Left terminal - Red
Middle left - Green
Middle right - Blue
Right - Yellow

Example: If the screen flashes red, green, yellow, blue, you will need to press the terminals in the order: left, middle left, right, middle right or 1, 2, 4, 3 if you prefer to name them that way.

To signify this step was done correctly all screens will flash green.

2. Hack the terminals

Pick up the Hacking Device from one of the small lab rooms, on one of the three floors of the moon base. Commonly found on shelf, barrel or desk. Look for the yellow leaflet for clues, there seems to be about 5 spawn locations.

Once you have the device, find the four panels on the wall (2nd floor). It costs 500 points to hack and this starts a countdown event. See image above for the button's appearance.

Now quickly find and hack four green terminals (see image above) which are also spread across the three floors. The terminals are easy to spot thanks to their bright green colours but you must be quick to get this done in SOLO. See image above.

Finally, now that you have hacked the terminals, go to the 2nd floor again and press each of the wall buttons (x 4) to complete this step. These black buttons are all on the same wall. The lights should stay on to signify this has been done correctly.

3. Wait for Excavator to breach Tunnel 6

There are several hazardous diggers that activate at random times, causing decompression in the mining tunnels.

For this step we need to wait for the Pi Excavator to activate and breach tunnel 6 (purple tunnel). You will know when Pi is active thanks to the computer audio announcer. Just wait for the final audio confirmation to confirm "Active decompression in tunnel 6".

Now go inside the moon base control room (starting area) and use the Hacking Device to turn off the excavator using the terminal (shown in image above).

4. Move the Focusing Stone

For this step you will need the Wave Gun, the new Wonder Weapon that was introduced in Moon. It's a box weapon so repeatedly spin the mystery box until the weapon is yours. You will also need a large number of points to open many doors and be ready to switch between PES and Hacking Device to progress.

Ok, the excavator has spawned something in tunnel 6 which surprisingly is the Focusing Stone from Shangri-La. This stone ball is located beside one of the tunnel doors with green lights. Walk up to the stone and repeatedly melee the stone (or sometimes shoot it) to move it from place to place until eventually the stone gets stuck on a satellite dish on the ceiling of an adjacent room.

Use the Wave Gun to shoot the ball down from above and continue its journey onwards. Follow the floating ball carefully, opening doors and watching if it gets stuck anywhere. Shoot or melee again and again until the ball finally rests at the base of the pyramid.

A cannister will rise out of the base of the pyramid, ready for the next step.

5. Fill the pyramid canister

In traditional Treyarch fashion it's time to fill the canister with zombie souls by simply killing 25 x zombies in close proximity to the pyramid. Once complete, character dialogue will play to confirm that a switch is available and this step is finished.

6. Use switch to release Samantha

Simply flick the switch on the wall opposite the cannister and watch in awe as the pyramid opens up and Samantha floats into the air. Classic Treyarch zombies music plays and you have now successfully completed the Cryogenic Slumber Party Easter Egg.

All players receive a Death Machine whilst the player who is Richtofen now receives all 8 perks.

For now the SOLO part of the Easter Egg is done and ONLY multiplayer teams can continue to achieve the Big Bang Theory.

7. Get the plates

This is the first step of the Big Bang Theory EE.

Go to Area 51 (starting area) and stand to the right of the Speed Cola machine, Look over the edge and outside the map. Throw frags or semtex to drop the plates off the racks behind the Speed Cola machine. Next, use the Gersch Device (box weapon) to suck in the parts (see image above) and deliver them to the teleporter..

Teleport to the moon base, face the Quick Revive machine, the parts are on the floor to the left. Use the Quantum Entanglement Device to pick them up and deliver them to the computer in the same room (opposite side from Quick Revive). A special drop will appear in front of Quick Revive (much like a double points).

Touch it and an audio cue will say "Bonus Points!"

8. Find the wire/pipe

Next up, find the wire which is in the same vicinity as the three rooms where you found the Hacking Device and hacked the terminals. The wire is tricky to find but is usually on the floor, near the cabinets, stairwell or tight against other objects. There is also one cheeky spot outside, near the Mule Kick machine.

Just press X/Square to pick it up.

9. Connect the wire and use the Golden Rod

Go back to the Quick Revive room and go to the computer on the opposite side of the room where the plates were moved to by the Quantum Entanglement Device. Stand to the side and press X/Square to place the wire and connect the computer to the device.

Next, have the player who is Richtofen place the Golden Rod between the two plates on the device.

10. Power the device

Get Richtofen to stand in front of the device and press X/Square repeatedly to power the rod. Several audio dialogue quotes will play between the button pressing. Keep pressing and listening whilst Maxis and Richtofen have a conversation. At the end get Richtofen to pick up the Golden Rod between the plates.

Eventually this step concludes with Richtofen saying "it's mine, finally it's mine!" in a crazy voice.

11. Fill the pyramid canisters again

Go back to the Pyramid room and interact with the circular base of the Pyramid. Four additional canisters will rise up from the corners of the Pyramid.

Kill zombies in close proximity to fill each of the canisters. Approximately 25 zombies per cannister so a total of 100 zombies is needed here.

During this phase Richtofen will say some crazy stuff, almost demon like in nature.

12. Place the Golden Rod

Now that the canisters are full, place the Golden Rod into the circular relic base of the pyramid. Enjoy a moment of classic zombie storyline between Samantha and Richtofen as they trade souls.

Maxis will conclude by broadcasting the following message: "Greetings, if you are receiving this message it means that Richtofen has entered the device. If you free me, I will help you minimize the damage that he will inevitably cause".

13. Play Simon Says

Play three games of Simon Says using the same computer terminals from step 1. It's much harder this time so use a piece of paper if necessary.

14. Get the Focusing Stone from pyramid

Go back to the pyramid and throw the Quantum Entanglement Device at the circular base to retrieve the Focusing Stone. Notice how the stone disappears from the base.

15. Launch the rockets

Throw the Gersch Device at the Focusing Stone which is resting to the side of the Simon Says area, at the end of the yellow railings (see image above).

Maxis will say "Launch protocol initiated" and three rockets will take off in the sky. Watch from a distance as the destruction of Earth takes place and Maxis laughs in the background.

Congratulations you have completed the Big Bang Theory Easter Egg!! All players receive all 8 perks as a reward.

Lunar "excavator" developed by RSC Energia // Watching

A new lunar excavator has been developed in Russia. That was the name of the machine created by engineers and developers of RSC Energia.

Energia Rocket and Space Corporation (RKK) has developed an engineering lunar machine, which should remove large stones, cut relief elements, loosen them, and also for other purposes. It is reported by TASS.

"The engineering lunar machine has a supporting frame, chassis, control panel and control units, equipment for construction and earthmoving purposes, as well as caterpillar-wheel modules," the message says.

As specified, the moon machine will have a built-in boom with an excavator bucket, as well as a dozer blade. In addition, the device will be equipped with a ripper, racks with handrails, stand-alone portable consoles. It is also planned to place a platform for an astronaut.

The cosmonaut himself will move vertically on the moon machine. “If the need arises, the astronaut can get rid of the spacesuit boots, then descend to the ground with a portable remote control and from there he controls the process of soil development,” the publication specifies.

Also, the moon machine will have to clear the site using a bulldozer blade, loosen the soil with the traction force of the machine, and also dig with an excavator.

Unsuccessful start

The moon is the center of gravity of any state that has space potential. Russia is no exception. The lunar program in the USSR officially began in 1964. The entire development process was accompanied by insufficient funding and inconsistency in actions. As a result, the desired results were not achieved. Therefore, at the present time it is important to catch up.

Breakthrough excavator

RRK Energia, after long development, was able to patent a new invention. It can be called an excavator, designed specifically to work on the moon. The following goals are set for him: removal of large stones, cutting off various parts of the microrelief, dripping, loosening the soil and other actions.

Equipment

profile.ru

This moon machine will work thanks to a supporting truss frame. On one side there will be an excavator bucket and a dozer blade. On the other side, it provides for the installation of special handrails, a soil baking powder and a control panel. Movement on the surface will be carried out thanks to track-wheel modules, which, depending on the tasks, can be transformed into wheel propellers and flooring.

The vehicle will have a special platform for the astronaut. Approaching the unit, he can easily join it with the help of magnetic clamps and special mounts for boots. A person will be able to work with the relief of the Moon, being on the machine itself, as well as remotely. This opportunity will be given to him by a portable control panel.

Lunar program of our time

In August 2022, Roscosmos plans to launch the Luna-25 spacecraft from the Vostochny cosmodrome. On the surface of the Earth's satellite, it will work for a whole year. During this time, he will study the surface of the lunar soil and assess the frozen water available there. Scientists are trying with all their might to find a way to get a source of water on the moon with the aim of a long stay on it for a person in the future.

Stages

poembook.ru

The conquest of the Moon is designed for several decades:

Until 2028 - it is planned to carefully evaluate the Earth's satellite and select a suitable place for the construction of a scientific base.
Until 2030 – development of flights to lunar orbit with further landing of cosmonauts.
Until 2040 - the creation of an appropriate infrastructure for the optimal stay of people.

These dates are not final and may be subject to change.
