Chapter 424: NASA's Response
Chapter 424
Name a lunar location after yourself.
That's a great honor.
To know......
At present, there are 18 geographical locations on the moon named after Chinese people.
Including impact craters, moon creeks, satellite craters, etc.
Moreover.
These eighteen Chinese names are all taken from ancient Chinese myths and legends or historical celebrities.
At present, there is no lunar location that is named after modern people.
And this time, the exception appeared.
Gu Lu's role in the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project is already worthy of the Chinese Space Administration's application to the International Astronomical Union to name the impact crater after Gu Lu!
Let the Chang'e-4 probe impact crater become the nineteenth geographical entity officially named after the Chinese.
At the same time, it is also the first lunar impact crater named after a modern man!
After getting this news, Gu Lu's mood was of course quite happy.
He naturally understood the meaning of this 'Gu Lu Impact Crater'.
Gu Lu impact crater, this is a name that will definitely be imprinted in the annals of China's aerospace history.
And his name will be remembered by generations with the continuous development of China's aerospace industry.
"Thinking about it like this, it seems very good!" Gu Lu was in a very good mood.
At the beginning, Gu Lu designed a new set of instructions, just to save the Chang'e-4 probe, which was about to crash, and did not have any utilitarian thoughts.
But now......
With such a big benefit in front of him, Gu Lu would not refuse.
If it's money or something, Gu Lu can still shirk it with righteous words.
But that's ...... Celebrity annals!
Such a big temptation.
Gu Lu really couldn't refuse.
In the command center, Gu Lu and Director Zhou exchanged a few words of greeting.
"Does Professor Gu have the idea of joining our China National Space Administration?" In the end, Director Zhou inevitably expressed his intention to Gu Lu to solicit.
As the department that coordinates China's aerospace industry, the China Space Administration is of course not short of talents.
But there are some outstanding talents like Gu Lu, of course, they are not too few.
Meantime.
Director Zhou also has a love for Gu Lu.
In Director Zhou's view, a talent like Gu Lu, as long as he is cultivated for a while, can become an independent existence.
If you can solicit it, then you naturally have to solicit it.
But Gu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still refused, "Director Zhou, to be honest, I am not very proficient in the field of aerospace, you recruited me, I still need to learn everything from scratch, which is not in line with your original intention." β
Director Zhou nodded, smiling in a hehehe, "Professor Gu, what you said is right, it is true that I am a little ill-considered. β
Director Zhou knew that Gu Lu was shirking, so he didn't break it, and then spoke, "However, if our space bureau encounters any trouble next time, please ask Professor Gu to come over and help, Professor Gu must not refuse!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Gu Lu nodded repeatedly.
The conversation between Gu Lu and Director Zhou ended in a rather friendly atmosphere.
After Director Zhou left the command center, Gu Luzhan's body shook, but fortunately he was held by Wu Zheng on the side, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
"Gu Lu, are you okay?" Wu Zheng asked with concern.
Gu Lu's face turned pale and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm just too tired." β
Eyes have not been closed for 36 consecutive hours.
And more than five of them are still in the presence of high mental tension.
Plus the side effects of the liver-popping drug.
Gu Lu's tough body still couldn't hold on.
"I'll take you to the hospital. Wu Zheng was very uneasy when he saw Gu Luxu's inadequateness.
"No, I don't. Gu Lu stood up strongly, "You can just let someone send me back to school, and I'll just lie at home for a day." β
"No need for a driver, I'll send you back!" Wu Zheng directly hugged Gu Lu without refusal, and the two walked out of the command center.
............
Seven o'clock in the morning.
The morning news everywhere all reported the same news.
"At about 6:12 this morning, China's fourth lunar probe, the Chang'e-4 probe, successfully landed on the Gulu impact crater on the far side of the moon, opening a new chapter in China's lunar exploration program!"
It is reported that Chang'e-4 has completed the first soft landing on the far side of the moon in the history of the world. β
"The scientific mission of Chang'e-4 is mainly to carry out low-frequency radio astronomical observation and research on the far side of the Moon, to carry out the detection and research of the morphology, mineral composition and shallow structure of the lunar surface of the patrol area on the far side of the Moon, and to carry out experimental research on the lunar environment such as neutron radiation dose and neutral atoms on the far side of the Moon. β
"We learned from the China National Space Administration that the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project was not so smooth, but with the joint efforts of all the personnel of the lunar exploration project team, the successful landing of the probe was finally achieved!"
"Below, we have asked the frontline reporters to bring us the latest reports......"
Chang'e-4 successfully landed on the far side of the moon!
This news, whether it is the news or the newspapers, is all reported!
And many professionals have analyzed the significance of the successful landing of Chang'e-4.
In a very short period of time, the news spread rapidly.
One Chinese after another learned the exciting news of the successful landing of the probe.
Bib on the neck.
#嫦ε¨₯εε·ηιζηθι’#θΏδΈθ―ι’, it quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list at an incredible speed.
"Strong, I'm a great Huaxia!"
"Hahaha, for the first time in the world, our country is finally ahead of that group of Mi people again!"
"At this rate, our country's astronauts will soon land on the moon!"
"What is it to go to the moon, our goal is - to conquer the galaxy and defeat the Trisolarans!"
"On the far side of the moon, what a picture of what is going on, I really want to see it. β
"Let's go to the official blog of the China Space Agency, where the world's first close-up image of the moon's back has been announced!"
............
There was a lot of talk around the neck.
The folk astronomy enthusiast forum exploded.
And internationally.
Countries have reacted one after another.
United States, NASA Headquarters.
A man in a dark green military uniform stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, standing was a man in a suit with a mustache.
"Is the news true?" asked the man in military uniform after a few seconds of silence.
The mustache nodded, "It should be true." The China Space Agency has released their photographs of the far side of the moon that have many similarities with the ones in our database. β
"Where did they drop the probe?"
"Gu Lu hit the crater. β
"Gu Lu impact crater, this name is a bit unfamiliar!" The man in military uniform shook his head, not dwelling on these, "When will our next moon landing program be scheduled?"
"August 2024. β
"Advance to 2023! I think it's time to remind the Chinese people who is the boss in the aerospace field!"
