Reaching the first cosmic velocity, that is, the orbital velocity of the Earth, the Giant B3 rocket first orbited the Earth, and then accelerated again and deorbited.

Subsequently, the Luna 1 spacecraft separated from the launch vehicle, adjusted its course and attitude, and taxied to the vicinity of the moon to start braking, and was finally captured by the moon's gravity, orbiting the moon, and gradually lowering its orbit......

……

As of the launch of the Lunar Strike 1 spacecraft, more than 50 years have passed since the last manned landing on the moon.

The main reason why no country has been on the moon again for so long is that it is too expensive to land people on the moon.

The Apollo program cost a total of $25.5 billion and lasted 11 years, when the annual GDP of the United States was less than a trillion, and now it is more than 20 trillion.

Roughly speaking, this amount of money is equivalent to at least $600 billion. One can imagine what kind of financial pressure the U.S. government was under at that time.

So after boarding it a few times, the United States decisively abandoned the pit. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, which had no competitive pressure, never paid attention to the moon landing program again.

There are lessons from the past, and the latecomers have also invested more rationally in lunar exploration, and there has been no crazy money-burning situation like the space race.

It was not until the rapid rise of the Vientiane Space Exploration Company that mankind finally made a new breakthrough in the field of lunar exploration, and the lunar attack project came into being.

Of course, even with today's state of technology, the moon landing is still a huge and expensive project, especially since the goal is to build a lunar base, which is a step further than the original moon landing.

The Vientiane Group, which has strong financial resources, also has to pull its belt for this reason, and on weekdays, it is unprecedentedly frugal.

……

As we all know, the Moon always faces only one side of the Earth due to tidal locking. And the other side of it is the so-called "far side of the moon" that has been rumored to be very evil.

Although it is not as mysterious and bizarre as some people say, the situation on the far side of the moon is indeed a little more troublesome than the front.

First of all, people on the far side of the Moon will not be able to communicate with the Earth due to always having their backs to the Earth.

Secondly, the far side of the moon also faces more meteorites, because without the protection of the atmosphere, meteorites will fall regardless of their size.

This also results in a dense crater on the far side of the moon, which is not suitable as a landing site.

The topography on the front side of the moon is much better, with many open plains known as the "Moon Sea", including the place where American astronaut Neil Alden Armstrong took a giant step towards human civilization, the "Quiet Sea", also translated as "Quiet Sea".

The landing site chosen on the 1st is another famous moon sea "Chenghai", also known as the "Clear Sea".

This "Chenghai" is also Warcraft...... No, it was the landing site of the lunar probe Luna-21 launched by the Soviet Union and the manned spacecraft Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 launched by the United States.

Chenghai is located in the north-central part of the front of the moon, adjacent to Jinghai, with an area of about 310,000 square kilometers, equivalent to two Ludong provinces.

Shortly after the lunar spacecraft was captured by the moon's gravity, the landing procedure was initiated, and the working fluid was sprayed as it fell, and the recoil was decelerated.

The 30-meter-high moon-attacking spacecraft finally landed smoothly somewhere in the southern part of Chenghai, lying on the ground horizontally, raising a burst of moon dust.

Once attached to the machine, it is not only difficult to remove, but also increases the probability of equipment failure, which is the first problem that spacecraft has to face after landing on the lunar surface.

The moon-raiding spacecraft quietly stopped in the silent Chenghai.

A moment later, the hatch opened, and Lin Han and his party of four walked out of the spaceship wearing heavy spacesuits and looked around.

The two astronauts announced by the Vientiane Space Exploration Company, one is named Lu Jian and the other is Liang Wenshan, both in their thirties, from the Chinese Air Force.

Of course, they are also excellent engineers, one graduated from the National Defense University of Science and Technology with a major in electrical engineering, and the other graduated from Beihang University with a major in automation.

However, the protagonists of this trip are obviously not them - Lin Han and Luo Xuan are walking side by side in front, staring at everything around them in amazement.

"This is the ...... of the moon"
