1. A two-way twin-axial connector module of a receptacle for transporting liquefied gas, comprising:
a male connector connected to an end portion of a transferring pipe incorporating a first supply line for supplying liquefied gas and a first return line for retrieving the vaporized gas, including a pair of male bayonets formed to protrude and surround protruding portions of the first supply line and the first return line, respectively, which are formed to protrude outward through the end portion of the transferring pipe; and
a female connector incorporating a second supply line for supplying liquefied gas and a second return line for retrieving the vaporized gas, to be connected to a supply source for supplying liquefied gas or a storage tank for storing liquefied gas, including a pair of female bayonets concavely formed and connecting with the second supply line and the second return line, respectively,
wherein the female connector is equipped with a cylinder valve unit installed at an end portion of the pair of female bayonets so that the cylinder valve unit can elastically move forward and backward by contact with the pair of male bayonets, and selectively connects the first supply line and the first return line on the pair of male bayonets and the second supply line and the second return line on the pair of female bayonets according to forward and backward movement of the cylinder valve unit.
