Chapter 1126: Lunar rover successfully lifted off

The first thousand and fifty-four chapters of the moon rover
Everything is proceeding according to the plan we set before. The reason why that probe didn't fly to the moon's orbit was that we designed it before, and that was to make it fly past the moon. "
Zhao Zhongyao said that this female reporter from Country M blushed a bit. She quickly corrected her words: "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, I don't know much about the'lunar probe' you launched before. Please understand."
"Okay, don't talk about the previous things anymore, you should still ask about the'Lunar 2'we are launching now." Zhao Zhongyao looked at the female reporter again and said.
"Okay, then I will ask, what is the difference between the Lunar 2 probe you are about to launch this time and the Lunar One probe you launched earlier. This time the Lunar Two probe launched , What's the effect."
This female reporter, looking at the questions she asked, made Zhao Zhongyao a little unhappy. She immediately changed the subject again.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to the words of the female reporter, and he smiled and said: "The purpose of the Lunar 2 probe launched by China this time is to find a suitable landing site for the next lunar landing plan. Yes, it is necessary to conduct a survey on the surface of the moon. Although the moon is only more than 380,000 kilometers away from us, our human probes have not yet flown to the moon.
Last time, the "Lunar One" probe launched by China, although it reached the moon. But it didn't make a landing, it just became a ‘satellite’ on the moon. Orbiting around the moon, I took some topographical photos of the moon's surface.
And the ‘Lunar Rover’ probe we are going to launch this time. It can be said to be very different from the last "Satellite Probe". The former is just a ‘satellite’. The latter is a ‘car’. It can be said that the two are not the same thing at all.
Although, we can call them all ‘lunar probes’. Their functions and systems are completely different. The former just needs to fly around the moon. The latter is to land on the surface of the moon and conduct field surveys on the surface of the moon. "
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, these reporters were taking notes seriously. After all, these problems. It may be what these reporters all want to know.
After Zhao Zhongyao said these things, he motioned to the female reporter again and asked some other questions, and he answered them all together.
This female reporter now looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked: "Mr. Zhao, can you answer me, the'Lunar Rover Probe' you are going to launch this time and the'Moon Landing Plan' you are going to carry out in the future? 'Is there any necessary connection between them! When do you plan to carry out the'moon landing plan'?"
Zhao Zhongyao listened to the words of this female reporter from country M, and said with a smile: "The'Lunar Rover Probe' we are going to launch this time is closely related to the plan to land on the moon in the future. Yes. Said that this lunar rover is the prototype of the lander for the "manned moon landing" we will launch in the future. In the future, the lander in the "moon landing plan" we will design must also learn from this design. 'Lunar Rover Probe.' So, this time the launch mission of the'Lunar Rover Probe' can be said to be directly related to our future'Moon Landing Plan'.
As for when we are going to carry out the ‘moon landing plan’. This is hard to say. Space exploration is a very risky job. If everything goes well, we may start the'moon landing plan' after three years. But if it doesn't go well, it may be five or six years later. I dare not say a specific time for this matter now. "
Zhao Zhongyao knows that the aerospace industry is an important indicator of a country's technological level. But the aerospace industry is also the most dangerous and difficult thing. It's not that you can succeed casually. Every space launch mission is faced with huge risks.
Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee that every launch mission will be a complete success. Under such unknown circumstances, no one can determine a specific time for the launch of the'Moon Probe' in the future.
Although Zhao Zhongyao is an extremely smart man, he can't tell a specific time for landing on the moon. All this is unpredictable.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, the female reporter from country M nodded again, and then sat down. She stopped asking. Let others ask.
In the following period, Zhao Zhongyao asked some domestic reporters to ask some more questions. He also answered one by one.
An hour passed quickly. Now is the time to launch the Lunar Rover. Zhao Zhongyao returned to his job. He is about to start commanding the launch mission of the'lunar rover' this time.
Originally, Zhao Zhongyao felt a bit difficult for the launch mission this time. After all, this time it is to land the'lunar rover' on the lunar surface. This is much more difficult than the last launch of the'lunar probe'. After all, the last ‘lunar probe’. Just launch it nearby and fly around the moon.
But this time the "Lunar Rover Probe" to be launched. That is not only to fly to the moon. It is also necessary to land on the surface of the moon, which of course adds a lot of difficulty.
But Zhao Zhongyao knew that they had made adequate preparations this time. This time, it must be successful. Many reporters are on the scene now. This time the launch mission is also in the form of live broadcast.
If such a launch mission fails, it will ruin China's reputation in the aerospace field! Because the launch failed once. It will soon be known to everyone in the world who is following this launch mission of China. China's launch mission this time failed.
And Country M has now completed the'manned space experiment'. Under such circumstances, if China cannot launch this'lunar rover probe' onto the moon. In other words, if the launch mission fails this time, it will make the leaders of country M very happy, and they will feel that China's technological strength is not very good. Their country M is likely to catch up with China.
Under such circumstances, this time China’s "Lunar Rover Probe" launch mission must be successful, or else China’s reputation will be lost.
"Attention to all departments, now the countdown to launch begins."
Zhao Zhongyao checked his watch and saw that the launch window was up. Immediately, everyone is notified to enter the launch state.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, all scientific researchers became nervous. Immediately set out to complete the work to be done.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Ignite!"
Zhao Zhongyao repeated the ten numbers he had counted before. When he talked about ignition, he pressed a green button on the console next to him.
The giant ‘Flying 3’ carrier rocket in front of the launch pad. After getting the instruction to ‘ignite’. The conductive device at the bottom of the rocket is activated. Soon a huge flame burst out from the bottom of the rocket.
Under the huge thrust of the engine of the high-thrust rocket, this fifty-ton rocket slowly began to lift off. It was very slow at first. But very quickly, he accelerated into the sky.
Although this large thrust rocket weighs fifty tons. However, the important role of this rocket is only to send the "lunar probe" mounted on the top of the rocket to thousands of kilometers of outer space of the earth.
After this rocket sends the'Moon Probe' to the outer space of the Earth. It is considered to have completed the task. The wreckage of the rocket will become a piece of space junk, floating around in space. If it is possible to enter a low-Earth orbit of the earth, it will become an ‘artificial satellite’. Then it has been flying around the earth.
When the high-power "Feitian-3" carrier rocket sent the "Lunar Probe" to the outer space of the earth. The rest of the long journey will be done by the'lunar probe' itself.
This time, the "Lunar Rover Probe" designed by Zhao Zhongyao used its own small nuclear engine to work during the flight. In other words, when this'lunar probe' flew to the outer space of the earth, it got rid of the shackles of the rocket, and then began to fly to the moon on its own.
During the flight, the lunar rover mainly relies on the power provided by its own nuclear power engine to fly. Nuclear-powered engines can work for a long time. Therefore, when the lunar probe flies to the moon, there is no need to worry about insufficient fuel.
In fact, after the probe enters space, there is no air. As long as it is given an initial speed, he will keep flying at a constant speed. Of course, if you want to accelerate it, or change its flying direction, you have to activate the power device on it, and then give it an external force to let it move forward according to its own ideas.
Everything is going well now, and this ‘lunar rover probe’ has already flown into the outer space of the earth. The booster rocket on the probe started, allowing the probe to obtain a large initial velocity.
Then the booster rocket temporarily stopped operating. The lunar rover probe began to fly at a constant speed in space.
At this time, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. After all, in the next two days. The lunar rover probe is just a high-speed uniform flight mode, roaming in space.
"Okay, our first launch was successful."
As soon as Zhao Zhongyao saw the lunar rover probe they launched, it began to roam steadily in space. He also feels that he can relax temporarily.
"Papa! Papa! Papa!---"
After Zhao Zhongyao said these words, the command center burst into applause. After all, everyone knows that their first step has been successfully completed.
"Political Commissar Yang, our first step has been successfully completed. Now there is nothing wrong. We are just waiting for the'Lunar Rover Probe' to fly to the moon. It takes two days to fly to reach the moon. . We can just relax now."
Zhao Zhongyao now looked at Political Commissar Yang and said these things. After all, Political Commissar Yang is his leader, and he has to report back to the leader in time, what is the situation of the'lunar rover probe' currently flying in the sky.
"Okay, is the beginning of this time going smoothly! It seems that we can successfully complete the launch mission of the Lunar Rover Probe this time." Political Commissar Yang also seemed very happy after hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said.
"Yes, we started this time very smoothly. If nothing is always the case, then our Lunar Rover Probe will be able to fly near the moon at this time the day after tomorrow." Zhao Zhongyao listened. Political Commissar Yang also said with a smile.
"Hey, Zhongyao, the last time we launched the Lunar Satellite Probe. But we experienced two accidents! I don't know if this time, will we encounter the same situation again? Things like planetary comets."
Political Commissar Yang thought of the last time the "Lunar Satellite Probe" launched in space, it encountered an asteroid and a small comet. He was also a little worried about the "lunar rover probe" launched this time. After all, this kind of thing is still possible in space.
After Zhao Zhongyao listened to Political Commissar Yang, he smiled and said, "Commissar Yang, it doesn't matter, this is not something that can be encountered casually. Last time, we met. It is the same as winning a lottery ticket. Even if it happens once in a while, it is impossible to hit it several times!"
Zhao Zhongyao knew that there were many asteroids and small comets in space. But these things are insignificant in the vast space. It is not easy to meet one.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Political Commissar Yang was a little relieved. He knew that as long as the'Lunar Rover Probe' was in space, there would not be any asteroids and small comets. The "Lunar Rover Probe" can fly to the vicinity of the moon smoothly.
"Zhongyao, so to speak, we don't have to worry about anything now. We can sit back and relax." Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
"Political Commissar Yang, what you said makes sense. However, you can sit back and relax. But we scientific researchers, we can't sit back and relax. At best, we can be less nervous. We can't relax too much."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that although there was nothing in space. But if you stay in space for a long time, you may encounter some strange things. Space is definitely not an empty place. There are many things that we humans do not know yet.
