Chapter 358 Under normal circumstances, slow work can produce fine work

The tone of the Grand Commander's Think Tank is very heavy, after all, they are all promoted by the Grand Commander, and if they don't perform well, the Grand Commander can let them go with a word.

If you leave, you will naturally have no money to take, and you will not have the identity of a think tank.

So as he spoke, the think tank used a killer weapon!

"Or are you just worse than Navigator? The equipment you built doesn't work? ”

"If you admit it, then I'll immediately go to the leading student of the Great Unification and ask him to give you a month of grace!"

Well, don't say anything, work hard.

It was under this urging that the engineers did the best they could.

After simulation tests, the state of the national team lunar module is much better than the state of the lunar landing equipment a few decades ago, and it was successful a few decades ago, and of course it is now...... Should...... It almost succeeded.

Engineers also know that there is a thing called luck in the world.

The original moon landing was a success, but all kinds of small problems during the mission have not been broken, and there is a little big accident, that is, the end of the complete failure of the mission.

As for why Navigator Space's equipment can be lifted into space with so little testing, and it succeeds time and time again, they really don't know.

Probably...... Times have really changed.

The "Navigator" of the Navigator Company is known all over the world, perhaps because he has developed an epoch-making method of designing and manufacturing spacecraft.

Unfortunately, there is no exchange between the two countries in this regard, and if they could exchange and learn those things, there would not have been this hasty launch.

So they hope that this time, Lady Luck will be on their side.

Anyway, after the launch, they can only keep an eye on it all the time to make sure that there are small problems that are solved in a timely manner, and that there are big problems...... Let the astronauts hurry to escape.

The National Team lunar module and orbital module are in a hurry, but the Orion manned spacecraft is not in a hurry, and it has undergone sufficient safety tests, so even if the lunar module and orbital module have problems, the Orion manned spacecraft can bring the astronauts back.

Their flight process is different from Tianxia's, they are not stingy with live broadcasts, not only do live broadcasts once a day, but NASA will also release a variety of related videos during the period, which is very lively.

Although there is not much news about the moon released by Tianxia, there is a lot of information on the earth.

The astronauts who will be stationed on the lunar space station are engaged in acclimatization training in the Tiangong space station, and from time to time they will release some videos and information.

The approved number of permanent residents of the Tiangong space station is three, and only when the shift is handed over will there be six people in a short period of time, but this time will not exceed two days, and this time they will stay for a week, which is quite interesting.

At this time, it seems that the space station is a little small.

Tianxia needs a bigger space station!

The other thing is the unboxing video of the things brought back from the moon.

Lunar soil or something, because I got some back before, and now it's even more direct to a ton, which is not unusual, so I'll open the box and let everyone see the shape of the moon rock.

This time, the astronauts collected a lot of large moon rocks, and the mass of the largest moon rock exceeded 100 kilograms!

On the moon, it weighs less than 20 kilograms, and astronauts in hard-powered spacesuits carry it and go.

In Earth orbit, it weighs only 0 kilograms, and the astronauts push it and float away.

And on Earth, scientists need to take it out with a crane.

That scene was extremely interesting.

And moon ice.

People have only seen it in gray, dark, unevenly lit places, and they have never seen it in a spacious and bright cryogenic laboratory.

This time I can let them take a good look.

Those minerals can also be seen, which are basically similar to the minerals on the earth, iron, aluminum, phosphorus, rare earths and the like, which are not rare things.

In particular, Tianxia is still a big country in rare earth resources, and the price of cabbage was sold out at the beginning, and it was controlled later.

That's it, you will send a message on both sides, and I will send a message later, on the evening of March 30 local time, Merriken's vehicle reached the moon and successfully slowed down and cut into the orbit around the moon.

At this stage, the engineers and scientists involved in the project were relieved that at least the first phase had been successful.

There are also people who have only participated in this stage who have completely relaxed, they have passed, and the rest, whether it is good or bad, has nothing to do with them.

They will stay in lunar orbit for two days, check the status of the lunar module, and then use the telescope in the orbital module to observe the landing site, combined with the data given by the orbiting satellite, to determine the most accurate landing site.

The confirmed landing site is at Clark Crater, a crater two circles larger than the Pollid crater where Tianxia landed, with a diameter of 74 kilometers, also located near the South Pole, 300 kilometers in a straight line from Pollid's crater.

The crater is so big that it is impossible to land casually, and after a long period of research, the space agency has delineated several more suitable landing sites, but the specific landing at that precise location still requires the astronauts to observe it themselves, and then decide after discussing it with the space agency.

This process will not be disclosed, only the exact location of the final landing will be disclosed.

The inspection of the lunar module is also very important, and the astronauts also know how the lunar module came to be, and they know that it is a rush product, so they inspect it very carefully.

Not to mention inspecting every detail of the interior of the lunar module, even the exterior was inspected in an extravehicular spacesuit.

However, it is really dangerous to walk outside the moon orbit, so only a few delicate equipment are checked, and simple mechanical structures such as landing legs can be looked at a little.

Eventually, they decided on a landing site.

The people who landed on the moon were also chosen, Commander Joseph and Geologist Alimi.

Deputy Commander Irimura remained on track.

Joseph is a dark-skinned mixed-race male, Emily is a light-skinned mixed-race female, and Irimura is a yellow-brown thin-skinned minority mixed-race.

I have to admire Merriken's talent selection skills, just three people can do it so fairly.

When Joseph and Alimi were ready, they broke away from the orbital module with the blessing of Irimura Daichi and landed on the moon.

The ground command center, the orbital module and the cockpit of the lunar module, people in the three places are all paying close attention to all kinds of data.

The audience also stared at the screen tightly, not letting go of a single detail.

The landing was attended by a well-known Hollywood cameraman, and his team followed up from the time the camera was installed, striving for the perfect angle of the live broadcast.

Don't say it, although the real-time picture quality is not as clear as the Navigator's live broadcast, it is clear enough, coupled with the deep skills of the photographer, the audience really feels like watching a movie!

As the lunar module got closer and closer to the landing site, all kinds of data were normal, and the engineers relaxed little by little.

"Open the landing gear."

"Maybe it's really the times that have changed, and slow work is no longer suitable for the current situation, so we might as well ...... next time"

"Prepare to land."

"3, 2, turn off the engine, click ......"

As soon as this crisp sound came out, two people in the lunar module were stunned for a moment.

"Camera shutter?"

"No, where did you get the camera here?"

Then they felt that the ship was a little crooked.

"Could it be that the landing place is the same as the landing place of the Moon Palace-2, uneven?"

Then, they became more and more crooked.

Joseph and Emily suddenly looked at each other, and both saw the panic in each other's eyes.

"Oops!!"
