Lin Qi did not make any overly complicated choices. He first explored the area on the near side around the landing site, searched for a suitable location to establish a base, marked it, and then went to explore the Moon's Backside.
The Pioneers used the most advanced solar cells available, but even the most advanced solar cells could only function for about an hour and thirty minutes.
After that time, it would fall into a dormant state due to insufficient power, until a new light source shone on its solar panels.
Generally speaking, if it did not go to the Moon's Backside, sunlight would be shining on it most of the time.
