Vol 2 Chapter 123: On the fourth moon

In the vast universe, the distance between the earth and the moon is insignificant.
But even this insignificant distance is still very far away for human beings, and even the most advanced spacecraft will take several hours to complete.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on June 24, 2021.
On the 'Houyi' spacecraft, the captain of the moon landing team, Li Haiyang, woke up from his sleep, and he has deliberately trained for a long time, so the biological clock will automatically wake him up at the end.
Looking at the time, it was 2 minutes before the scheduled time. He did not disturb the sleep of his teammates and looked forward.
In the field of vision, the moon is already very large, and it is clear with the naked eye.
The moon indicates that there is no moon palace in the mythical story, and Chang'e and the little white rabbit are naturally impossible. As for Wu Gang who cut the osmanthus tree, he naturally cannot find it.
On the contrary, the moon ’s indication is very desolate. There are large and small potholes formed by the impact of meteorites everywhere. Some craters are very large, even forming huge basins. Some craters are very small and very small Formed by the impact of meteorite.
Barren, dull, without any color, this is the original appearance of the moon.
Looking back towards the earth, the earth has become very small at this time, as if a bright disc lay across the void, the blue light makes it look like a pearl, very dazzling Eye-catching.
"Om ~ hum ~"
At this moment, there was a sound in the spacecraft, and the alarm clock set to wake up the astronauts was set.
"Ground number after ground call ~ Ground number after ground call ~ Please answer ~"
Soon, the voice headset worn by Li Haiyang also heard the voice of the ground control command center liaison.
"Houyi received ~ Houyi received ~"
"Request instructions ~"
Li Haiyang looked around at his teammates. At this time, he had already woken up from sleep, and began to look at the moon and look back at the direction of the earth with great energy.
"The spacecraft begins to slow down after 5 minutes ~ The spacecraft begins to slow down after 5 minutes ~"
"Received ~ The ship will slow down after 5 minutes ~"
Li Haiyang repeated each other's words, and then everyone on the ship became nervous.
Everyone knows that when the spacecraft arrives on the moon, whether it can be captured by the moon ’s gravity is a very important step, which directly affects the success or failure of the manned moon landing plan.
Here at the Ground Control Command Center, scientists and engineers are also busy. The detailed information about the spacecraft is constantly updated, and the supercomputer is constantly performing simulations to ensure that it can smoothly decelerate to a speed that can be captured by the moon's gravity. Into the moon's orbit.
Through the cameras installed inside and outside the spacecraft, the ground control command center can also clearly see everything inside and outside the spacecraft.
Everything went very smoothly ~
The spacecraft and astronauts are in very good condition. As long as they can successfully enter the moon orbit, the manned landing on the moon can basically be declared a success. After all, the anti-gravity spacecraft's powerful ability can land on the moon. It's a piece of cake.
After 5 minutes, the deceleration engines on the two spacecraft began to decelerate. The deceleration engines also used fuel injection propulsion engines, but the installation direction was in the opposite direction.
With the start of the deceleration engine, in front of the spacecraft, a bright tail flame began to lengthen, become brighter, and the speed of the spacecraft began to gradually decrease.
As the moon gets closer, the speed of the spacecraft decreases.
After half an hour, the moon was close at hand, and at this time, everything on the moon could be seen clearly without any tools.
The air indicated by the moon is very thin. Yes, the moon indicates that there is still air, but it does not even have one billionth of the earth ’s air. The moon ’s gravity is too small to the indicated air.
The air shown by the moon is too thin to be any different from air without air and without the protection of the atmosphere. The moon shows that everything can be seen clearly in space.
It is precisely because there is no air protection that no matter how large or small a meteorite hits the moon, it can leave large or small impact craters on the moon.
The earth is fortunate. As the satellite of the earth, the moon is like a shield. It has defended the earth from the unknown number of bullets from the starry universe. The pitted surface above the moon is the best proof.
Without the moon, life on Earth could be destroyed again and again under the impact of extraterrestrial meteorite.
Of course, the earth ’s own thick atmosphere is also a layer of umbrella. Small meteorites rub and burn with the atmosphere. When they actually land on the earth, the mass is much smaller and much smaller. As long as it is not a particularly large meteorite, it will not form the earth. Too much threat.
Under the dual protection of the moon and the atmosphere, this is the cradle of life on Earth.
The spacecraft continued to decelerate. By around 4 o'clock, the speed of the spacecraft had been reduced to a speed of 2 kilometers per second, which was enough to be easily captured by the gravity of the moon.
"Hoo ~"
Li Haiyang took a deep breath and looked at the huge moon outside.
At this time, the Earth Control Command Center had given him the authority of the spacecraft, and the distance between the earth and the moon was nearly 400,000 kilometers. It took 1.3 seconds for the electromagnetic waves to travel at the speed of light, and 2.6 seconds for one round trip.
This seemingly insignificant time difference is likely to cause fatal errors.
Therefore, at this time, the control of the spacecraft is in the hands of the astronauts on the spacecraft, and they need to make timely judgments based on their previous training experience to smoothly fly the spacecraft into the moon orbit.
Li Haiyang carefully drove the spacecraft slowly approaching the moon. Soon, the spacecraft was captured by the moon's gravity very smoothly, and began to enter the orbit around the moon, flying continuously around the moon.
Immediately afterwards, the spacecraft Chang'e also entered the moon's orbit very smoothly, and began to continue to orbit in the moon's orbit.
"Houyi calls on the ground, Houyi calls on the ground and smoothly enters the moon orbit ~"
"Chang'e calls on the ground, Chang'e calls on the ground and smoothly enters the moon orbit ~"
When the news that the two spacecraft successfully entered the lunar orbit was transmitted back to the ground control command center, the entire ground control command center could not help cheering.
Qin Yi, who had been doing nothing, could not help but stand up with the crowd and began to applaud continuously.
It entered the lunar orbit very smoothly, which basically means that there is no problem with this landing. The next step is to wait for time. Once the time is up, the spacecraft will fly into the moon, and the descendants of Yan and Huang will set foot on this magical land.
When the spacecraft reached the lunar orbit at about 4 o'clock, the real moon landing time was at 6 o'clock, and there were 2 hours in the middle to be busy.
Nine astronauts are busy in the Houyi spacecraft flying on the moon's orbit.
The orbit of the spacecraft is constantly being adjusted, and at the same time, the hatches of the spacecraft are slowly opened, and satellites are continuously released, and a moon global positioning system is soon established on the side of the moon.
With a large anti-gravity spacecraft, launching a satellite is really no different from eating. It is simple and there is no trace of difficulty. Setting up a lunar positioning system is just a matter of launching dozens of satellites.
The establishment of the lunar global positioning system is also for subsequent plans. These satellites can not only be used for positioning, but also for communication. In the future, bases, mining bases, lunar factories, etc. on the moon will need this positioning and communication system.
Of course, the communication satellites, resource exploration satellites, and so on that have been launched in advance on the moon side, and even several unmanned spacecraft filled with materials that have been launched in advance.
These spacecrafts are ordinary spacecrafts, not anti-gravity spacecrafts, which are filled with various materials ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At that time, the two spaceships will unload the materials in the spacecraft to the moon and indicate , You can fly into space to transport these supplies.
To build a permanent base, the materials needed are still too huge, and someone needs to be stationed for a long time in the future. Therefore, the materials are also prepared as much as possible.
Of course, this is also limited to the case of an anti-gravity spacecraft. If there is no anti-gravity spacecraft, everything must be carefully calculated, it would not be so luxurious, and a spaceship will be filled and launched in advance.
The two spaceships on the moon side are constantly busy.
On the earth's side, Huaxia has also come to work. On this day, almost all enterprises, units, etc. have to work half an hour in advance, leaving time for everyone to watch the live broadcast of the manned moon landing.
This is a great moment for the entire country and also for the grandchildren of Yan and Huang. 1.4 billion people across the country and overseas Chinese and Chinese compatriots witnessed this great moment.
The company and the factory leave early, and the school ends early. Even if the time is the most tense, the high school senior who will soon enter the college entrance examination. At this time, he also put down his pen and books and sat in front of the TV to watch the manned moon landing. Holy moment.
From the leaders of the country to the ordinary people, everyone stopped their busy work.
Adults hold ignorant children and are very patient and proud to tell their children what the moon is and what it means to carry a man on the moon. When these children grow up, they will understand that the power of this country and national pride will be Deep into the bone marrow and soul.
The overseas Chinese gathered together, set the wine, and waited for the moment to celebrate.
