Chapter 1 136 Asteroids
However, the distance between the earth and the moon is 384,000 kilometers. The height of several hundred kilometers. Relative to the distance between the earth and the moon, there is not even a fraction.
However, the probe has to fly over hundreds of thousands of kilometers, which requires the probe to fly at a very fast initial speed. As long as any object is within the sphere of influence of the earth, it will be restricted by the gravity of the earth. It is difficult to escape the of the earth.
For a probe launched by humans to fly away from the earth, it must have a speed faster than that of the first universe. The speed of this first universe is 7.9 kilometers per second. This speed is the speed of the satellite around the earth.
If the probe wants to fly from the earth to the depths of space, it needs a speed faster than this 7.9 kilometers per second. Only after exceeding this speed can the probe fly away from the earth and fly into the depths of the universe.
And how do the detectors achieve a speed that exceeds the speed of the first universe. Then, after the probe enters the satellite orbit of the earth, it must first become a satellite of the earth. Then after flying around the earth. With the help of thrust rockets, the speed of the probe is made to exceed the first cosmic speed, so that the probe can fly away from the earth's orbit and fly to the depths of the universe.
This lunar probe launched by China now uses this principle. This lunar probe first flew around the earth for a time, and was affected by the gravity of the earth, and its speed was increased. Therefore, it can fly away from the earth and then fly to the depths of the universe. Of course, when the probe is flying in the earth's orbit, it also needs some external force. If only by the gravity of the earth. The probe will only reach the first cosmic speed, and then it will fly around the earth at a constant speed, becoming an artificial satellite of the earth.
Only when the probe continuously gets some external acceleration during its flight around the earth, will it gain a greater speed and be able to get rid of the gravity of the earth and fly to the depths of the universe.
The lunar probe launched by China this time has now successfully entered the earth's long-distance orbit. Is revolving around the earth. Its speed is constantly accelerating. After a few hours, the probe can fly away from the earth and start flying towards the moon.
Zhao Zhongyao and other researchers were also very nervous. After all, this is a critical time. If the probe cannot accelerate in time when it is flying around the earth, it will be difficult for it to fly away from the earth and fly to the moon.
So, at this time, everyone must be very careful. Continuously monitor the movement of the probe in space. When it is necessary to increase the speed of the detector, it is necessary to develop a command to the detector to let the detector's own engine start to work, and then generate thrust to help the detector increase the flight speed.
Just like that, after a few more hours. With the efforts of Zhao Zhongyao and other researchers. This lunar probe finally obtained an acceleration that exceeded the speed of the first universe, and then broke away from the gravitational restraint of the earth and began to fly in the direction of the moon.
At this point, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The command center also burst into applause.
Zhao Zhongyao was also a little relieved. He began to study how the probe could smoothly enter the moon's satellite orbit when it flies near the moon.
It takes about three days for this probe to fly from the earth to the moon. During this period of time, there will generally be no problems.
Because the probe almost flies in a vacuum after entering the outer space. As long as it does not encounter some small celestial bodies, the probe will fly at a very high speed in space at a constant speed.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao stopped monitoring the big screen temporarily. He entrusted this work to ordinary researchers. Although, now the probe will always be advancing at a very high speed in space at a constant speed. However, there will be some problems if you don't keep the balance.
First of all, space is not empty. In space, there will be many star particles. These small celestial bodies are scattered throughout the solar system. If a human probe is flying in space, if it encounters such a small celestial body, then the probe will be finished. After all, human detectors are all high-tech things. Although good quality materials are also used. But as long as it encounters some small celestial bodies, it will also damage the detector, and then let the detector be scrapped in space.
Such a situation is unlikely to happen. But we cannot take it lightly. Because, once this happens, all the previous efforts will be wiped out!
Zhao Zhongyao now delegates this task to a few ordinary researchers. And he wants to study what happens after the probe flies to the moon to cut into the moon's orbit. Then it became a moon of the moon.
Now this lunar probe is flying towards the moon at a very high speed. The first day can be said to be very smooth. The probe flew for 100,000 kilometers in space. During this period, nothing happened. I didn't see any small celestial bodies.
Only when the next day came, there was a little accident. After the probe flew for 150,000 kilometers, a small black spot appeared in front of the probe. After that, this little black spot got bigger and bigger.
When everyone saw what it looked like, they were shocked. Because this little black spot turned out to be an asteroid.
This asteroid, on the big screen, looks like an interstellar dust. At the time, no one cared. I also thought, just such an interstellar dust, what counts.
But when the interstellar dust flew next to the probe, everyone was shocked. Because this little dust is really big. Compared with human detectors, this little dust is really a huge monster.
Because this little dust is actually as big as a hill. Now it can only be said that this little dust is an asteroid. It's just that this is a wandering asteroid. There is no fixed orbit, just wandering in the solar system.
After this happened, it frightened the two scientific researchers who were monitoring the detector. After all, such a large asteroid could crash the probe at any time.
"Mr. Zhao, it's not good. An asteroid appeared on the path in front of the probe. What can we do now?" A young researcher among the two researchers looked at the situation and felt a little helpless. , Quickly report to Zhao Zhongyao.
Zhao Zhongyao is still studying how the probe can merge smoothly after reaching the moon. But he hasn't studied this issue well yet! The detector here is in trouble again.
Although Zhao Zhongyao had done a lot of research work before. He knows that this time the lunar probe will definitely be able to enter the lunar orbit. But in order to be 100% successful, more accurate calculations must be made.
Therefore, after the successful launch of the probe, Zhao Zhongyao still used the three days of the probe flying in space to make further calculations and corrections.
Zhao Zhongyao originally thought that there should be no problems in these three days. Because once the probe is free from the of the earth, it can continue to move at a very high speed in space at a constant speed without any problems. After all, space is an empty place. The probe can fly at high speed in space without any problems.
On the first day, it went smoothly. Originally, Zhao Zhongyao thought that the next two days would be very smooth. As long as the third day, when the probe flies to the moon, it can smoothly merge into the moon's satellite orbit, then the launch mission of the probe will be successfully completed this time.
However, he couldn't think of it. On the second day, there was a problem with this detector.
"What's going on, you can make it clear. What's the problem with our detector?" Looking at the panicked young scientific researcher, Zhao Zhongyao couldn't help but became nervous.
"Mr. Zhao, you should go and take a look! A huge monster appeared on the flight path of the probe." The young scientific researcher didn't know how to explain it to Zhao Zhongyao. He just said casually.
"Okay, let's go together." After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he hurriedly came to the big screen of the command center with the young scientific researcher.
Once in front of the big screen, Zhao Zhongyao saw at a glance that there was an asteroid on the flight path of the probe. This asteroid is an irregular cone as a whole. It's like a hill floating in space.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zhongyao coming, another scientific researcher also watched his report nervously: "Zhao, look at it, our probe is only a few thousand kilometers away from this asteroid. Maybe in a few minutes, we will hit this asteroid."
When Zhao Zhongyao saw this situation, he also felt a bit tricky. However, he has always been a calm and calm person. As soon as he encountered this situation, he immediately thought about what he should do.
Besides, this time the probe launch mission is also a live broadcast mission. Now it is not just all the scientific researchers in the command center who have seen this scene. The space experts from all over the world, all the news media and some astronomy enthusiasts who are following the launch mission of China's lunar probe are all paying attention to this launch mission of China's lunar probe.
As soon as I saw this. Everyone is nervous. After all, no one wants to see that China’s lunar probe launch mission this time has failed again.
But there are some people who are very happy now. After all, they just want to make China's lunar probe launch mission to fail this time. In this way, they can gloat.
These people, of course, are some space experts from country M and some news media reporters. They just want to see jokes now!
Of course, there are two guys Hans and Jack. These two guys want to see jokes now too!
After the failure of the last manned spaceflight experiment in country M. Jack was dismissed by his superiors. Of course, it can also be said that he retired early. He is the same as Hans now. It's just a retiree. I don’t care about country M’s aerospace industry anymore.
The tall leader of Jack was also demoted. However, he was clever and asked for instructions from his superiors, saying that he would make up for it. To personally serve as the leader of the Luoshanji military base. I want to continue to complete the work that Jack did not complete.
After listening to the tall leader's words, the superiors felt that they made sense. Now that Jack has been removed, another leader must be arranged. In this way, this tall leader named David became the new leader of the Luoshan Ji Military Industrial Base.
Now Jack and Hans are two people, it can be said that they have become leisurely people. No power. The two ended up at ease.
When Jack was removed from his post, he often went to Hans. Now the two people no longer need to be busy and arguing about the manned spaceflight of country M. The two of them can now have nothing to talk and chat, and they can also go fishing together.
But after all, they are people who have retired from the aerospace industry of country M. The two of them still often pay attention to some aerospace undertakings in their own country and abroad.
Especially the aerospace industry of China, that is also the focus of their attention. The two are now watching China's lunar probe launch experiment.
When the two of them saw that China's lunar probe encountered a problem in space, they were also a little happy. After all, it was his opponent who had a problem. Then of course the two of them are also somewhat gloating.
Although both of them were due to the aerospace business of country M, the leader retired early. But it is impossible for the two of them to blame their own leaders for this. It is also impossible to move towards China's aerospace industry because of this. After all, they are the people of country M. The two of them are also going to their country from beginning to end.
"Haha, Hans, look, there is a problem with the detector launched by China this time. They must fail again." When Jack saw the problem with China's detector from the live TV broadcast, he Immediately smiled at Hans and said.
Of course Hans saw this thing too. But he knew that Zhao Zhongyao was an extremely powerful character. This time the moon probe was also designed by him himself. Others may not be able to solve this problem now, but Zhao Zhongyao must have a way to solve it.
However, Hans also hoped that Zhao Zhongyao could not solve this problem well and damaged the Chinese probe in space. In that case, China's lunar probe launch mission would have failed again.
