Chapter 423: Gu Lu's Impact Crater
Chapter 423
The probe slowly descended towards the crater.
The distance is getting closer.
1000 meters!
800 meters!
500 meters!
Although everyone didn't have much hope for this landing, at this moment, their hearts were still inexplicably pinched.
Some people even can't bear to see such a cruel scene and close their eyes.
The probe is getting closer to the crater.
β¦β¦ 300 meters!
200 meters!
100 meters!
A few seconds later, the probe was less than a hundred meters away from the crater.
From everyone's current angle, it is impossible to see if the probe is descending directly in the center of the impact crater.
But roughly estimate.
Everyone was pleased to find that even if the position of the probe was off, it did not deviate too much.
That means......
There is a real possibility of a successful landing of the probe!
By this time, the speed at which the probe had landed had been reduced to an extremely low number.
The probe continues to fall.
90m, 80m, 50m, 30m......
Everyone held their breath and stared at the big screen in front of them.
Their hearts were pounding.
Looking at the Chang'e-4 probe, which was getting closer and closer to the impact crater, a voice sounded in everyone's minds at the same time.
"It must be successful!"
Gu Lu stood up, clasping his hands tightly, the expression on his face tense.
"The blessing of the European Emperor BUFF, don't let me down!"
Gu Lu was shouting in his heart.
10 meters, 5 meters, 1 meter!
In the big screen, the Chang'e-4 probe fell heavily in the impact crater.
Large clouds of smoke and dust were stirred up.
The whole picture on the big screen is gray.
A few seconds later.
The smoke and dust dissipate.
What appeared in front of everyone was the picture of the huge body of the Chang'e-4 probe steadily parked in the impact crater.
Inside the entire command center.
After a second of silence, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers.
"We succeeded, we succeeded!!"
"I'm not dreaming, we're in a desperate situation!!"
"No, no, I'm excited about a heart attack!!"
"Professor Gu, such a strong man, I suddenly feel like I'm in love!"
There was jubilation in the command crowd.
Everyone was filled with joy.
Originally, everyone didn't have much hope for the successful landing of the probe, but they never thought about it, and the result gave them a big surprise.
The hero of all this is that man, Gu Lu!
And what about Gu Lu at this time?
Gu Lu put his hands in his pockets, and the expression on his face was extremely relaxed.
It worked!
Su Xi's blessing BUFF is not in vain.
During the entire lunar landing process, every stage of the probe was within Gu Lu's expectations, and there were no accidents.
Although the probe was in orbit around the moon, it was very unlucky to be directly hit by space debris and destroyed two engines.
But a blessing in misfortune.
The probe eventually landed successfully on the far side of the moon.
Even if there are too many difficulties in this process, there may be a lot of luck.
But the results were good.
The Chang'e-4 probe landed on the far side of the Moon.
It is about to open a new chapter in the mileage of Huaguo's lunar exploration!
Just when Gu Lu was feeling a lot of emotion, someone suddenly hugged him behind his back.
Before Gu Lu could react, his brain was still in a state of complete confusion.
On one side, a bunch of people rushed out to surround Gu Lu.
Then, Gu Lu was lifted up by everyone and thrown into the sky with all his might.
Catch it, throw it again!
Throw it up, catch it again!
The height of the ceiling in the command center is not high, about less than three meters.
So every time he threw it, Gu Lu could feel the feeling that the tip of his nose was about to touch the ceiling.
Really......
Brush shoulders with death.
Wu Zheng's side, while smiling and looking at the crowd over there with a relaxed expression, bowed his head and said to the assistant beside him.
"Report on the current status of the Chang'e-4 probe?"
"Yes!" the assistant nodded, reporting one by one, "except for the two engines, the rest of the Chang'e-4 probe is still operating. β
"All the scientific payload instruments in the probe are not damaged and can be used normally!"
"The Yutu-2 lunar rover is undamaged and can go out of the capsule at any time to carry out exploration missions!"
"The signal reception system is normal, and the signal delay is four minutes and thirteen seconds!"
"The thermal control system is normal, the detector temperature is ......"
The assistant reported to Wu Zheng the current status of the probe.
This landing can be described as quite successful.
With the exception of the two engines, which have been destroyed, all components of the probe are normal.
The Yutu-2 lunar rover, which is responsible for the survey of the far side of the moon, can also go out of the capsule to carry out the mission at any time.
After hearing the assistant's report, the last big stone in Wu Zheng's heart fell to the ground.
Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project.
After two years and three months of hardship, it was still a success!
But the process was not so smooth.
Especially in the last half hour.
The mood of the entire Chang'e-4 project team is like a roller coaster.
From great joy to great sorrow.
Then from great sorrow to great joy.
Wu Zheng looked at Gu Lu, who was constantly thrown up and down by everyone not far away, with a happy smile on his face.
"Gu Lu, I'm glad to have you!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The importance of Gu Lu in this lunar exploration project is self-evident.
So to speak.
If only there was no Gu Lu.
Now the Chang'e-4 lunar exploration project can be officially declared a failure!
Because no one can design a completely new set of operating instructions in just seventy-two seconds.
Except for Gu Lu!
Everyone present knew that.
After today.
Gu Lu's name will be forever engraved in the milestones of China's aerospace history.
And along with this seventy-two second myth, it has been recited from generation to generation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yenjing time, December 26, 6:12:46.
The Chang'e-4 probe has successfully landed on the far side of the Moon.
The leaders of the China Space Agency quickly rushed to the command center after the news of the successful landing of the probe.
The first to push the door in was Director Zhou of the Space Agency.
This Director Zhou is the direct person in charge of Huaguo's lunar exploration program.
To put it simply, it is Wu Zheng's boss.
The previous Chang'e-1, Chang'e-2 and Chang'e-3 projects were all carried out under the leadership of Director Zhou.
"Succeeded?" As soon as he pushed the door in, Director Zhou walked up to Wu Zheng and asked impatiently.
Wu Zheng nodded heavily, the joy on his face couldn't be hidden, "It's successful!"
"Hahaha, good, good!" Director Zhou laughed and patted Wu Zheng on the shoulder.
"Professor Gu, I want to meet this great hero!" Director Zhou searched around.
Everyone pushed Gu Lu in front of Director Zhou.
Director Zhou shook hands with Gu Lu with a smile, "Professor Gu, thank you so much." I already know what happened on the way here. β
"On behalf of all the personnel of the China Space Agency, I would like to express my gratitude to you, Professor Gu!"
"Moreover, our space agency has officially applied to the International Astronomical Union to name the impact crater where the Chang'e-4 probe officially landedββ"
"Gu Lu impact crater!"
