Chapter 1340: A Lonely Trip
Boom! The carrier rocket spewed out a blazing torrent, full of the eyes of all mankind, and rose into the air!
The moment the Kunpeng left the ground, Yang Chongyan's hands trembled, and he suddenly got up!
This crucial second can make the difference between life and death! How many rockets have accidents at the moment of ignition, and there are countless such tragedies in the history of aerospace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, the ignition was successfully completed, and in more than ten seconds, the carrier rocket had already flown to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
More and more people stood up in the front row, staring intently at the real-time images transmitted from the light curtain, and for those who were familiar with the project at the scene, it was a dangerous period before the spacecraft broke away from the rocket!
More than two minutes later, the rocket safely penetrated the atmosphere, the first stage fairing of the main rocket separated, and the second and third stage rockets were successfully launched......
The Kunpeng forced its way away from the Earth's gravitational pull, turned away from the Sun, and accelerated its leap in the direction of Mars......
A few minutes later, the spacecraft flew over the Tiangong space station, and half an hour later, it basically broke away from the gravitational constraints of the earth and entered the vast universe, the two-stage rocket engine was turned off, and the contracted solar panels slowly opened, replacing fuel with solar power, and entering deep space!
So far, the launch of the Kunpeng has been a complete success, cheers and applause sounded in the Jiuquan ground control room, and countless people shed tears, shaking hands and hugging each other!
This moment deserves to be celebrated by all mankind!
Kunpeng has taken a solid step towards Mars, and the dream has begun.
"In a blink of an eye, it's two worlds......" Yang Chongyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, he was happy, and at the same time proud and reluctant, the children went to Mars, what they did was greater and more meaningful than their ancestors!
"You'll be back safe. Looking at the astronauts who were gradually getting used to the inside of the spacecraft, Wen Wanting couldn't help muttering, this sentence happened to be heard by Yang Bihui on the side, she couldn't help but glance at Wen Wanting more, who is that "you"?
The whole world was cheering and celebrating the successful launch of the spacecraft, and inside the Kunpeng cabin, Scott, who had already taken action, sent the first video to Earth.
"Hello, this is Kunpeng, I'm Captain Scott, we're flying to Mars, please remember to follow our landing in seven months. ”
Several other astronauts, Yelena, Charlie, and Mendes, are also waving hello to the people on Earth and speaking their hearts.
"Greetings to you guys, remember me, I am the daughter of the Volga, Elena. A flying kiss, coupled with a seductive wink, made men all over the world fall in love with it.
"Hi, I'm Charlie, and I want to say above all else, Sam, Irph, your son, is already in the sky, this time to Mars, waiting for me to come back. Charlie holds a necklace and kisses the pendant that hangs from it, and in the pendant is an elderly couple smiling kindly at the camera.
Mendes raised his hand and saluted, his greeting short and forceful: "Royal Griffin Regiment Colonel Mendes salutes Her Majesty!"
"Ladies, what do you have to say?" Scott pointed the video camera at Sui Tang and Po Jun.
The two of them were still nested in the cabin, and I don't know if their bodies had not yet adapted to the overweight and weightlessness of this spatial transformation.
In front of the camera, Sui Tang made a victory gesture towards the camera and said softly: "It feels amazing to be an astronaut, and I look forward to meeting the Martians." ”
Pojun moved slightly, and saluted a military salute: "Please rest assured that the motherland will complete the task!"
Everyone echoed to Earth, Scott smiled slightly, and finally concluded: "The Kunpeng is running smoothly, after an hour, we will turn off the video transmission, fans who follow the Kunpeng can listen to the audio broadcast, and we will also transmit some interesting images from time to time, thank you all for your enthusiasm and prayers, over." ”
To save energy, the real-time video transmission will be shut down for the next seven months, barring unforeseen circumstances, until it enters the Martian gravitational sphere.
As the live broadcast on Earth comes to an end, the Jiuquan launch center is still full of engineers from all over the world, who will shoulder the monitoring and feedback, and remotely direct the Kunpeng's long interstellar journey.
At the same time, astronomical telescopes around the world have also started tracking observations to see the Kunpeng off its mother Earth and into the starry sky of the universe.
The astronauts on the spacecraft gradually adjusted their mentality and took the initiative to adapt to exploring outer space travel.
As the captain, Scott quickly got into working order, checking the ship's metrics and data, turning on the travel logging, adjusting the audio broadcast channel, and experimenting with radio and analog signal outputs.
Several veteran astronauts have also begun to work on a step-by-step basis, having been trained for seven or eight months before the launch and already familiar with the workflow, whose first task is to check the safety inside the spacecraft and check the compartments one by one.
Po Jun is the most idle one, according to the previous plan, there was no job for the sixth person, this position was originally done by Ye Fanlai, but now she is replaced, and she just happened to be nothing.
Flying in weightlessness, full of fun and novelty, breaking the army free floating in the cabin, like a fish in water, although she has not undergone special training, but her extremely high personal quality and rich experience, let herself quickly adapt to the special environment of outer space.
An hour later, the live view of the spacecraft's interior was cut off, leaving only audio transmission and radio communications, the ship's left and right engines were turned off at the same time, and the spacecraft was powered by solar batteries, moving smoothly towards Mars at a second cosmic speed.
"Aha, girls, it's time to party!" Without live TV, Charlie immediately returned to his cynical nature, put on headphones, listened to rock music, and floated around the cabin in a space suit, wiggling his body.
Mendez smiled and slid into the back of the cabin, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to prepare afternoon tea and see what food is available." ”
Even when the British travel in space, they will never forget their afternoon tea.
"Hey, do you need my help?" said Yelena as she approached Breaker and addressed her teammate with a friendly inquiry.
"Thanks, I'm fine. Broken Jun leaned against the side of the window, staring at the dark cosmic starry sky outside.
Yelena shrugged her shoulders, feeling that the woman was a little strange, as if she was out of shape.
Sui Tang is already sorting out the monitoring data, and the first thing she has to do is to detect the presence of viruses in outer space along the way.
The change of day and night is almost not felt in space, and everyone has entertainment for all in addition to their daily work. Charlie is an avid musician, Mendes is a chef and a chef, Elena performs a variety of difficult yoga poses in her spare time around the cabin, Captain Scott spends his leisure time reading the Bible, and Sui Tang focuses on his studies and never leaves his work.
Only Po Jun is always alone, and after getting familiar with the weightless environment, most of the time he is looking out of the deep window in a daze......
In the first month, the mainstream media around the world on Earth were still regularly broadcasting all kinds of news and old news about the Mars operation, but by the second month, this global heat had been reduced by half, and only the six countries involved in the interstellar operation were still sparing no effort to publicize and broadcast......
In another space, Ye Fan and the women who smuggled onto the boat were enjoying a paradise-like life.
In a place near the best spiritual vein, several brand-new small wooden buildings have been built, and the huge windmill power generation house more than ten miles away is turning rapidly, and the endless supply of electricity ensures the operation of all living facilities, and there is still surplus.
"Ye, I've succeeded in building the foundation!" A coquettish voice came from a distance outside the house, and Zhao Ling'er, who was sitting on the sofa playing a video game, was attracted to attention, and as soon as he turned his head, he heard a metallic sound coming from the TV!
“k.o!”
"Hahaha...... Little junior sister, you lost again, come on, punish you for another drink!" Ye Fan pinched the gamepad and laughed, stretching his waist to get up.
"It's so annoying, this time it doesn't count, let's do it again!"
"Not coming, not coming, when is it? Haven't arrived at Mars yet?" Ye Fan raised his wrist and looked at the date, "Well, it's been more than half a year, it's almost there, don't play! I'll see if there's any movement outside......"
