Chapter 207: The Moon Landing in China (Modern Times)
In 2019, after a long political struggle, China finally launched its long-planned moon landing program. This plan is a state-level secret, and everything is kept secret from the outside world except for the participants, even the moon landing date. The spacecraft that landed on the moon was named "Lunar Expedition III.", which was the third classified spacecraft carried out by China on the moon.
The launch base of the rocket is located in the desert that is inaccessible, and the usual research is located under the desert. It's hard to imagine how Huaxia managed to build a huge spaceship research base under this quicksand. Scientists here have been isolated for several years for the moon landing.
Today is the day of the Chinese moon landing. This is news that was just released half a month ago, and the heat of public opinion and the surprise of mankind have not yet completely passed. This moon landing also attracted the attention of the whole world. Because this is the second real moon landing of human beings, because this time Huaxia landed on the moon with a team of nine astronauts, and the whole world was amazed by the great courage and strong science and technology.
In fact, the Huaxia authorities originally planned to secretly land on the moon, but the news accidentally leaked, so they could only hurriedly announce the plan. But fortunately, it is only the moon landing plan, coupled with the international influence of China over the years, this plan has not been opposed by the international community.
At 10:10 a.m. in the capital of China, it is the time for the "Moonless III" to land on the moon.
"Boom" accompanied by a huge sound and dust in the sky, "Running to the Moon III" with more than a billion Chinese people, with thousands of years of Chinese dreams, flew into the blue sky, flew to the moon, the legendary planet inhabited by the most beautiful woman in the world, Chang'e.
After nearly four days of flight, accompanied by the cheers over the entire China, the spacecraft finally landed on the moon, and half of China's thousands of years of dream was finally realized.
Next, there is a historic scene, the Chinese people, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the descendants of the dragon, are finally going to set foot on this planet that China has looked up to for tens of thousands of years.
"All the astronauts are in place, ready to go to the moon." Even the most calm of orders, the hosts of this moon landing program couldn't help but be so excited when they saw the picture on the screen that they were almost speechless. He finally completed this step, and all these years of hard work and fatigue have been worth it.
"Ready, please instruct." said the captain of the astronauts. At this moment, the nine of them have been prepared, and all the instruments are ready.
"Prepare to open the hatch and go to the moon."
The hatch moved, and under the excitement of hundreds of millions of people, the appearance of the moon finally appeared in front of everyone. The spacecraft lowered the walking aisle, and the nine astronauts, led by the captain, walked off the spacecraft step by step. Every step they take is very cautious and excited, every step they take embodies the hard work of countless people, and every step they take carries the dreams of hundreds of millions of people in China, with the dreams of thousands of years in China.
The moon, we are here. This is the idea in the hearts of every Chinese person at this moment.
When the astronauts stepped on the moon for the first time, the land of China resounded with excited cheers and earth-shattering applause. This is a historic moment, Huaxia finally set foot on the moon.
"We succeeded, we succeeded." At this moment, the personnel in the control room and the research room were all hugged together excitedly, they turned their backs on their families, and their countless days and nights of persistence finally succeeded.
After the initial excitement, the real test is finally about to begin. The moon landing was just the first step, and the next step was to start exploring the moon.
There are many contents of exploration, including collecting lunar soil samples, probing lunar landforms, detecting whether there is water on the moon, and so on.
Of course, the first and most important step is for Huaxia to plant the national flag here. Huaxia has been here, and will conquer here.
Next, they start collecting soil samples. Soil samples are not collected all at once, but a little bit is collected from each place, including all kinds of rocks.
This seems simple, but on the moon, where the gravitational pull is only one-sixth of the earth's, it is not easy to do, and each step takes a long time, just like in slow motion in the movie. But even so, the humans on the ground still couldn't take their eyes off it, as if it were the most beautiful picture.
The Chinese moon landing has been preparing for a long, long time, so their ambition is not only to collect samples near the land, they want to explore the moon on a large scale, they want to find things that other countries have not discovered. Some people even joked that they would not find the ancestor of Huaxia on the moon, the woman who has been beautiful for thousands of years, Chang'e.
Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are night and night. After landing on the moon, these astronauts truly experienced the loneliness and coldness of the moon. If someone really lives on this, even the gods will go crazy.
Although the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, it is still vast for humans. Obviously, it is not possible to rely on foot, and the Huaxia Space Agency has also been prepared for a long time, and they have prepared three space vehicles. The three space vehicles cost up to $300 million, and each one is equipped with extreme horsepower and can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour. And the various supporting facilities on it are no less than a small spaceship, full of various detectors, trackers and radars.
Three space vehicles, one in front and two behind, set off at the same time. Now that the basic samples have been collected, they are now going to start exploring the lunar surface, as well as collecting special samples.
The vast surface of the moon, against the backdrop of space, is particularly beautiful, this is the invisible beauty on the earth, the deep and lonely reveal infinite mystery, especially the endless universe behind the moon, without the obstruction of the atmosphere, it looks more intuitive, the stars in the sky, you can even see it moving.
The surface of the moon is cratered, and the speed of the three vehicles is not fast. After traveling for an hour or so, they came across a huge crater, in which there were still meteorites. Space cars aren't just cars, they can fly. In the face of meteorites, they naturally do not miss it.
After collecting the meteorite fragments, they moved on. Finally, they saw mountains and rivers on the moon, high and low, peaks like blades, like dragons, compared with the earth's mountains or delicate, or majestic, the mountains of the moon, there is more of a vast breath, but there is also a cold silence and desolation.
"It's spectacular." The people in the control room sighed one after another. The current moon, even if it is the most ordinary piece of soil, is a rare treasure in their eyes.
"Ready to cross." The control room gave another order. It's not beyond their limits, and they can keep pushing.
"Roger, Yutu No. 1 receive." Said the astronaut captain.
"Ready to climb, ready to climb, please reply when you receive, reply when you receive it, it's over."
"Yutu No. 2 received, Yutu No. 2 received."
"Yutu No. 3 received, Yutu No. 3 received."
"Forward."
With an order, the three space vehicles began their journey over the mountain. Yes, over the mountain, how can this experience be missed, and the space car was designed with this layer in mind. Even if it doesn't work in the end, there is still a way to fly.
There was no sound on the moon, and the three space vehicles moved quietly and quietly. This mountain is flatter than expected, and the mountain is solid, so it is relatively easy to climb.
When they crossed the mountain range, they didn't expect that there were still mountains behind them, and there were layers of human traces, as if they were defending something.
"Keep going." The chief executor has a hunch that what will come back will give them a huge surprise.
In this way, the three space vehicles continued to climb over the mountains. Because of the steeper and steeper slopes, and in order to save energy, the three cars were combined to form a triangle pattern and continue towards the interior of the mountains.
"CEO, we're over the safe side." At this time, the monitoring personnel in the control room said.
"What, how far away." The CEO asked.
"Less than three thousand meters." The monitor said.
The CEO frowned, based on the current terrain, they would be at least four thousand meters away from the center of the mountains. But now that they are still very close, they are really unwilling to give up.
"Is there a way to increase the scope of security." The CEO asked.
"No, we have to move the ship to increase the safety range, and we may run out of fuel."
"What happens when you get out of the safe range, and what is the maximum propulsion range." The CEO asked again.
"Out of the safe range will affect the astronaut's contact with the spacecraft, the maximum propulsion range is two kilometers, and further away may cut off the connection, there will also be a shortage of energy, if you count 30% of the flight range." Another monitor said.
The CEO was lost in thought, it doesn't matter if it's in a normal place. It's just a few kilometers away, and even if you cut off the connection, you can go back the way you came, but this is an unexpected change on the moon. If everything is cut off and lost, it will be very troublesome, of course, this is not the most critical, if the space vehicle runs out of fuel, then not only will this moon landing be wasted, but these astronauts will also be mortal.
No matter which consequence it takes, no one person can bear it, and besides, this is still under the eyes of the whole world, and there can be no problems with this moon landing. Even if the probability is very low, if it can be prevented, it must be prevented to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"We don't have the possibility of another test." The CEO asked.
"No, it's too far away, we don't have enough energy."
At this moment, the entire control room fell into deep thought, no one wanted to give up this time the detection, but reality did not allow it, what were they going to do.
"Dial-home, call-home, please instruct, please instruct, done." The astronaut captain asked.
After much thought, the CEO said, "Go back where you are." ”
It's a difficult decision, but it has to be made.
"Why, we're going to get to our destination soon, we can't give up, CEO." Said the astronaut captain.
"No, this time it's risky, we can't take any chances." The CEO said.
