Chapter 66: Enjoy the Victory
Zhang Heng glanced at Armstrong beside him out of the corner of his eye, and found that the latter was looking at the deep valley in front of him intently, as if he hadn't noticed the sudden voice in the communication channel, and the ground control center in Houston on the other side did not react at all to the invasion of the line.
Zhang Heng realized that this voice was likely to be heard only by himself.
"You need to make a choice, you only have 19 seconds of fuel left." The voice reminded.
Zhang Heng looked down again, the surface there was very rugged, not suitable for landing, but the deep valley opposite also looked full of danger, and Zhang Heng didn't know what was behind the deep valley, whether it was still undulating.
If he didn't know the exact amount of fuel left, he would prefer to gamble here, but now with the hint of that mysterious voice, Zhang Heng finally made up his mind and manipulated the lunar rover to fly to the deep valley.
"Very brave choice, you still have 13 seconds of fuel, 640 feet above the ground."
The voice in the communication channel continued, and at the same time told him all the parameter data that Zhang Heng needed most, and also let Zhang Heng regain control of the current situation of the Eagle after losing the dashboard.
The lunar module is getting closer and closer to the deep valley, and if someone else is replaced, it is likely to question Zhang Heng's decision at this time, but Commander Armstrong remained silent, he decided to trust the pilot's judgment.
The program alarm sounded again, the red alarm light flashed, and the rapid alarm sound sounded extremely harsh, Armstrong simply turned off all the alarm systems to avoid Zhang Heng being disturbed again.
The altitude of the lunar module was gradually decreasing, and they were now above the huge deep valley, from which they could only see darkness, like a huge mouth, waiting to eat.
ββ¦β¦ 7 seconds of fuel remaining, 315 feet above the ground. β
Because there is not much fuel, Zhang Heng did not ignite continuously, but chose to glide for a distance and ignite once, the gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, even if there is not enough power, the Eagle will not fall immediately.
But now they are getting closer and closer to the deep valley under their feet, but fortunately, when there are still 5 seconds of fuel, Zhang Heng finally saw the other side of the deep valley, from here it looks very flat, it is an excellent place to land.
So now the question remains of whether they have enough fuel to get there.
Zhang Heng visually inspected that they were still about 1.7 kilometers away from there, and it would take another minute and a half at the current speed, and they were only less than 50 feet above the ground, basically almost at the same level as the rock wall of the deep valley.
Zhang Heng had to consume another two seconds of precious fuel to increase the taxiing altitude of the lunar module.
The rest of the fuel he had to leave for attitude adjustment and deceleration when he landed, so it was pretty much the last fuel he could use.
The lunar module glided silently over the deep valley like a shadow.
"32 feet ......"
Zhang Heng's hand holding the joystick was also a little cold, and in the end, the lunar module almost grazed the opposite rock wall and flew over the deep valley.
The distance between the lunar module and the ground was less than 15 feet, and Zhang Heng couldn't help but be happy about this, so he controlled the lunar module to drift forward for a short distance, and then immediately entered the landing procedure.
When he used up the last second of fuel, the Eagle's four load-bearing legs landed firmly on the surface of the moon.
"Houston, this is the Jinghai base, and the Eagle has landed safely." Armstrong said into the communicator, his voice barely changing.
There was a cheer from the ground control center in Houston, and everyone was frantically waving everything they could get their hands on.
They have every reason to be excited, because this is the first time in human history that someone has successfully landed on the moon!
NASA has paid too much for this day, those doubts and pressures from the outside world, = the race at the same time, when this moment really comes, everyone has a feeling of tears.
Zhang Heng also breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that this was just a game, but at this moment he still had a strong feeling of being in history.
"Congratulations, a perfect landing, you can hit 10 points." The voice in the communicator said, "It's going to be my favorite part soon, and Neil Armstrong next to you will say my favorite sentence, which is one of my favorite episodes in all of human history."
"It's unbelievable, isn't it, until 500 years ago, the vast majority of people still believed that the earth was flat, and now you are standing here, on the moon 300,000 kilometers away, there is no oxygen here, but you can still breathe with the spacesuits on your body, science and technology have changed everyone's way of life and even cognition, although there are still some people who believe that the earth is flat, and they also held a party in North Carolina not long ago, but it doesn't matter, the brain is a good thing, you can't expect everyone to have itβ¦β¦ The point is, technology is really fantastic, isn't it? β
"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Heng frowned and said, "Our encounter in Area 51 was not accidental, right, why did you enter our dungeon, are you a player, what is the purpose of finding me?" β
From the first sentence of that voice, Zhang Heng heard that the other party was the guy he met before who claimed to be Einstein, which also explained why the Bluetooth headset he gave to Zhang Heng suddenly turned on by itself.
Zhang Heng didn't know Einstein's origin and identity, but judging from the situation when the two met for the first time, at least the other party had no ill will towards him, and this time Einstein also gave him a lot of help in the moon landing.
The latter only smiled when he heard this, "Times are different, four hundred years ago they could burn Giordano Bruno to death with a fire to prevent him from spreading heliocentrism, but now our time has come, and those old guys are becoming weaker and weaker every day, they are not willing to be forgotten by the times, and they want to use this game to regain their former glory, but we all know that this is just a lie they use to numb themselves."
"They have already lost, and they have lost a lot, as far as I know, some of them are not even alive as a dog now, sadly, they should have taken matters into their own hands hundreds of years ago, and perhaps they could have maintained the last decency - natural selection, survival of the fittest, Darwin said a long time ago, victory always belongs to the latecomers, so my advice is, choose your side carefully, you don't want to board a leaky Titanic, the surface of the gorgeous robes may also be covered with lice, I like you, We'll meet again if nothing else, and finally, enjoy the win, not everyone can stand on the moon with Armstrong. β
