The launch plan remains the same!

The Moon Palace will enter the lunar orbit at the end of the month!

After the clarification news of Hangke Group was released, the voice of heated discussion instantly swept through the internal and external networks like a wave.

There is no fault with the Tsukinomiya!

Unsolvable design flaws are rumors!

The people who had previously frantically ridiculed Hua Guo on Twitter for not being able to measure themselves and actually hit the moon orbit with their ideas on the moon orbit were like being slapped in the face, and their faces turned purple in pain.

ridiculed people for a long time, but it turned out that the whole thing was an oolong.

There are no problems with the core module at all, and there are no changes to the launch plan at the end of the month.

There are also those show hosts who ridiculed the cooling system of the Moon Palace on talk shows and compared it to an oven, which is also embarrassing.

Originally, they had already planned to play this meme until next month, but now it seems that the draft of the show's lines has to be revised again.

In addition to these people, the last person to get off the stage is probably the New York Times.

Although the media in the free world does not need to be disciplined, this suspected "oolong" incident still caused a lot of damage to the credibility of the New York Times.

After all, they were the ones who got the news out in the first place.

And also put this fake news in the headlines......

The building of the New York Times.

Duke, who was severely criticized by his boss, left the general manager's office with an embarrassed face and returned to his office.

In his office, Camille was sitting on the couch with trepidation, fidgeting and looking from side to side.

The silence lasted for a long time, and looking at the Duke-in-chief who was silent, Camille hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke cautiously.

"We don't need to be so pessimistic...... This time things are a little strange, maybe they're just bluffing. ”

It is also possible that in order to stabilize the mood of the people, the Chinese authorities instructed the Hangke Group and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other research institutions to jointly issue a statement to "refute the rumors", intending to wait until public opinion cools down before cold treatment.

After all, this kind of thing is not without precedent.

Having worked as a foreign correspondent in Beijing for more than a year, Camille knows China well......

Pinching his sour eyebrows, Duke glanced at Camille with a tired look on his face and said impatiently.

"It's almost the end of the month, what's in it for them to bluff?"

Hearing this, Camille was speechless for a moment.

Yes, it's the end of the month soon.

No matter how stubborn they are, there is not enough time left for them to solve the problem.

Instead of looking at the dumbfounded Camille, Duke cast his eyes out the window and squinted at the dark clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

“…… We can only hope for the BFR rocket, which is tens of millions of kilometers away, and that the successful landing of the life support unit will divert attention and make them forget about it as soon as possible. ”

A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes, and Camille said tentatively in a soliciting tone.

"I think the news of the Moon Palace could be followed up, if-"

Without waiting for Camille to finish, Duke interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"If there's good news, let's talk about it...... I'm referring to the good news for us. ”

Camille swallowed and nodded nervously.

"Okay."

She didn't dare to mention the office affairs anymore, and the assistant's affairs were even more impossible......

Looking at the anxious editor-in-chief Duke, she knew that she was in a very awkward situation at the moment, so she wisely chose to remain silent.

At the same time, she also prayed silently in her heart.

Hopefully, the Chinese are bluffing......

If the Moon Palace is indeed successfully launched, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the New York Times.

Not only will consumers be dissatisfied, but also peers will see it as a laughing stock in the press.

After all, they put the "rumors" of the "Moon Palace" involving a breakdown in the headlines......

Thinking of this, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and opened the mailbox to take a look.

From yesterday morning until now, she has been waiting for a message from her informant in Huaguo, but she can't wait for that person's email.

It seems that something is wrong with her informant.

I don't know why, but the ominous prophecy in her heart is getting stronger and stronger......

……

The turmoil of public opinion did not stop immediately, but as the source of incitement to right and wrong was stifled by the relevant departments with strong measures, the heat of the topic gradually decreased.

In this way, time passed day by day, and soon the end of the month was approaching.

Whether it is the Hangke Group, which is responsible for the construction of the Moon Palace, or the Star Technology, which is responsible for the launch mission, they have not broken their promises.

In a voice of surprise and disbelief, Renren Daily and other official media published photos of the Yuegong loaded into the belly cargo hold of the plane almost simultaneously on multimedia platforms such as newspapers and official WeChat.

After the photo was released, the comment area of related news was immediately swiped by excited netizens.

[, who said last time that the Moon Palace couldn't go up, and came out to be beaten. 】

[The cost of rumor-mongering is so low that I almost thought that our space station had to be photographed by the trolls' keyboards.] 】

[Follow Professor Lu and you're done! ] (Tooth Tooth) (Tooth Tooth)

[I guess in a few days some people will definitely say that although the Moon Palace has gone up, it is still a weak chicken compared to the Dawn, or it is actually a large satellite or something. (funny) (funny)】

[Our journey is the sea of stars!] (fist) (fist) (fist)】

【……】

In anticipation of the people of the whole country, the time finally arrived on the day of the launch.

Almost all the media OB trucks in the country drove to the launch site.

Even media outlets that did not have permission to cover the news drove their OB vans to the outskirts of Jinling City, where they watched from a distance outside the checkpoint on the blockaded road through special camera equipment.

In this way, under the expectation of all people, carrying the ambition of Huaguo's lunar orbit construction, the Xiangrui launched dragged a brilliant arc of light, slowly rose from the runway, flew into the blue sky, and finally disappeared at the end of the sky.

Standing in the conning tower, looking at the Xiangrui that had disappeared into the sky, Lu Zhou narrowed his eyes, turned his head sideways and asked Hou Guang, who was standing next to him.

"How long will it take for the Earth-Moon Transfer Orbital Transportation System to come online?"

Hou Guang hesitated slightly, and said seriously.

"We've just finished proving the technology...... Even if the propulsion system on the Xiangrui is used, it will have to wait until next year at the earliest. ”

"Next year, ah......" Looking at the busy ground crew on the runway outside the control tower, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and then continued to ask, "What about the Xiaguang?" ”

Hou Guang: "Originally, I planned to experiment at the end of the month, but I caught up with the launch plan of the Moon Palace, so it was postponed for a week. ”

Lu Zhou: "So, the next test flight is a week away?" ”

Hou Guang nodded, "Yes." ”

Lu Zhou nodded, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a smile.

If the Xiaguang can successfully test fly, the electric propulsion system will rise to a new height in terms of handling performance.

Seeing that the seedlings cultivated by himself were moving from germination to maturity, Lu Zhou was deeply gratified.

His efforts have always borne fruit.

All this work has been in vain......
