Chapter 131, The Moon Landing (Part II)
"Good evening audience friends, it is now 18 o'clock in China time, China's first manned lunar landing activity has been carried out to the most critical part, the link of landing on the moon, the Houyi aerospace aircraft responsible for the manned landing on the moon has completed the final supply of energy and compressed air in the Moon Palace space station, and is about to land on the moon."
All the domestic TV stations in China are broadcasting live this manned moon landing activity at this time, especially now that it has entered the final link, it can be said that the eyes of the entire Chinese people and even the world have been focused and waiting silently.
On the moon side, the "Houyi" aerospace plane has been replaced with new batteries and compressed air, and two of the nine astronauts have stayed at the "Moon Palace" space station and will not land on the moon and are responsible for receiving them, and the remaining seven astronauts have all entered the "Houyi" aerospace plane and are ready to land on the moon at any time.
At the planned landing site in the stormy ocean region on the moon, a large number of unmanned spacecraft have landed here in advance, and one lunar engineering vehicle after another is busy on it, making final preparations to prepare for the arrival of the "Houyi" aerospace aircraft.
"Moonshot!"
Here in the Earth Command Center, an order was transmitted to the moon at the speed of light, and Nan Junpeng, who received the order, gave the order without hesitation, and all the people in the entire Huaxia began to become nervous.
The "Houyi" space plane slowly flew away from the Moon Palace space station, first orbiting in the lunar orbit, while adjusting the orbit, speed and angle, when the computer calculated the most perfect time, the space plane flew to the moon like a duck diving.
"Start the deceleration engine!"
Getting closer and closer to the ground, Nan Junpeng looked at the increasingly huge surface of the moon in his field of vision, and ordered to start the deceleration engine, and then the operation of the "Houyi" aerospace aircraft was all handed over to the computer, and the computer was asked to control the power of the front and rear engines, combined with the gravity of the moon and the weight of the aerospace aircraft at this time.
The speed of the aerospace aircraft continues to decrease, and the front and rear tail flames are very accurate in power output under the control of the computer, which not only ensures that the aerospace aircraft can fly slowly, but also keeps decreasing in speed and altitude, getting closer and closer to the ground of the moon, and the engines installed in the front and rear begin to adjust the direction again, slightly downward, so that it can better resist the gravity of the moon.
"Whew!"
The moon storm ocean booking landing site, the powerful engine tail flame will blow up the surface of the moon dust, accompanied by dust, the "Houyi" aerospace aircraft slowly moved in the air very close to the ground, while moving, the speed and altitude of the aerospace aircraft are slowly decreasing, until the huge tires of the aerospace aircraft completely touch the lunar ground, the engine is completely shut down, and the aerospace aircraft very safely landed on the steel platform that has been built by the unmanned lunar engineering vehicle in advance.
"Whew!"
Until this moment, all the people breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the aerospace plane is a behemoth, descending from space at a rapid speed, even on the earth it needs a long runway, if you want to land smoothly on the moon, it is not enough to have a reverse deceleration engine.
It is also necessary to lay a platform on the surface of the moon with thick steel plates in advance, so that the aerospace aircraft will not sink into the mud on the surface of the moon, and when returning later, the astronauts will drive the engineering vehicle along the current platform laid with steel plates to continue to lay the runway.
To park the huge space plane on a small platform laid in advance, everything has to be calculated very accurately, and with a slight error, once the space plane is stuck in the dirt of the moon, it will be difficult to come out again.
In fact, the insurance method is to use the method of Eagle Sauce when he landed on the moon, and use a jet spacecraft to land on the moon, which will be very safe, but then it is obviously impossible to carry a lot of materials to the moon, and don't think about building a lunar base.
Obviously, Huaxia will not just be satisfied with landing on the moon, but also build a lunar base on the moon in one fell swoop, or the kind of permanent and long-term lunar base manned, so it needs to use a behemoth such as an aerospace plane, which may be very difficult and risky for the first time, but it will be very convenient in the future.
As long as the runway is laid with steel plates on the moon, it will be very easy, safe and fast to travel to and from the moon in the future, and there will be no need for highly precise operations like the first time.
"Turn on the self-test program, the detection status is perfect, and there is no loss!"
After Nan Junpeng heard such a voice, the whole person breathed a heavy sigh of relief, at this time, the "Houyi" aerospace plane had landed safely, and it was perfect, everything was running according to the pre-set program.
"Audience friends, the Houyi Aerospace Aircraft has landed in the pre-set area very perfectly, everything is running well, the exciting moment will come soon, and soon our descendants of Yan and Huang will also take a historic step."
On the TV station, the host in charge of the commentary seemed very excited, and in the picture at this time, the 7 astronauts who landed on the moon had put on their spacesuits again and came to the hatch, and waved their hands to the camera.
The eyes of the whole world are also staring at TV at this time, especially the Chinese around the world, whether at home or abroad, the picture in the TV begins to switch to the surface of the moon outside the aerospace plane, which is very desolate.
"Humph!"
A mechanical sound came slowly, here at the landing gate, the hatch slowly opened, the sun's rays shone in, Nan Junpeng, as the captain of this time, was the first to lead the team out of the aerospace plane and stepped onto the top of the moon.
The picture of the TV station turned around, facing the exit of the aerospace plane, and when Nan Junpeng walked out gently and stepped on the moon, the Chinese people all over the world instantly cheered.
We have been backward for a hundred years, invaded, denied, and isolated, but at this moment, the descendants of Yan and Huang can proudly announce to the whole world that our descendants of Yan and Huang have always been the best nation on the earth, and in the 21st century, we have finally landed on the moon and landed on this planet outside the earth.
One by one, Li Yang, Xiao Mingguang, Yu Haitian, Lan Yu, Ouyang Hao, Liu Qi, and the other six astronauts stepped out of the space plane one by one and landed on the moon.
They stepped out of the steel plate of the space plane, and one person stepped on the moon with a footprint, seven footprints lined up, and became the same footprints left by Armstrong when he landed on the moon, which will be permanently recorded in the history textbook.
Li Yang jumped on the moon, like a rabbit, and he found that jumping on the moon was easier than walking, because wearing a thick spacesuit, it was very difficult to walk, but it was easier to jump; Xiao Mingguang set up a lunar rover and left a line of imprints on the moon; Yu Haitian lifted a big rock very easily, a strong man, the gravity of the moon is only 1/6 of the earth, and an adult can lift hundreds of pounds of objects on the moon casually...... The astronauts who landed on the moon expressed their joy to the world in front of a television set.
However, soon, the seven astronauts began to work intensively, and the lunar rover, which had been launched to the moon in advance, had already driven towards the space plane automatically.
Behind the huge aerospace plane, the hatch slowly opens, which is full of all kinds of materials, there are alloy steel plates used to lay the runway, which are very light, but the strength is very high, the pressure resistance is strong, and they are all realized have been strictly planned and designed, and they are very used for handling and assembly.
Of course, more materials are used to build a lunar base, and all the materials have been strictly calculated in advance, and there are automatic handling equipment in the aerospace aircraft to continuously carry these materials out one by one in order.
At this time, seven astronauts, including Nan Junpeng and Li Yang, drove a lunar engineering vehicle, constantly going back and forth to the back of the aerospace plane, and controlling the engineering vehicle to transport pieces of alloy steel plates to be spliced, all of which had been repeatedly trained countless times in advance.
Soon, in the area directly in front of the aerospace aircraft, a runway completely paved with alloy steel plates gradually took shape, not too long, only less than 100 meters, and only 30 meters wide, such a runway is enough for the aerospace plane to take off, at least it is not a problem to go back.
After the construction of the runway was completed, the seven people returned to the space plane, rested for half an hour, ate something to replenish their energy, and then soon returned to the surface of the moon again, driving engineering vehicles and starting to build the lunar base.
The construction of the lunar base is also all made of standard alloy steel, which is all strictly calculated in advance, and when it is inlaid together, it is like a whole piece, and there will never be the slightest air running out, and the thermal insulation performance is very good, which is enough to ensure the temperature inside the lunar base.
On an open ground, the lunar rover leveled the ground and continued to drive piles at one point after another, and soon after the piles were laid, the steel pipes used to support the load were inserted into it and stood up.
Then it is like playing with building blocks, a piece of alloy steel plate was transported, first laid on the ground, and then constantly laid on it, 7 astronauts were constantly busy, busy for more than 10 hours, a man-made house, all made of alloy steel plate paved house appeared on the surface of the moon.
The moon base is basically formed, everything has been trained countless times in advance, and the cooperation of 7 people is also very tacit, of course, everything is strictly calculated by the computer, and the order, position and so on of each steel plate are meticulous.
