When the "successful launch of the cargo compartment" announcing victory crossed a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers and reached the ground command center, a deafening cheer broke out in the command tower.

People hugged each other and high-fived each other in celebration of this hard-won victory.

Standing in front of the console, Director Li of the Bureau of Science and Industry moved slightly, and his wrinkled face was full of tears at some point.

"We succeeded......"

I saw that on the big screen in front of me, the silver-white core module of the Moon Palace was floating steadily over the moon, and the distance between it and Xiangrui was gradually lengthening.

Also looking at the exciting picture on the big screen, Lu Zhou showed a relieved smile on his face, his shoulders that had been tense and began to stiffen a little finally relaxed, nodded and said.

"yes...... We did it! ”

From today onwards, the Moon Palace will serve as the starting point for Huaguo on the moon, and Huaguo's spacecraft and space engineering equipment will also continue to penetrate the moon's orbit and lunar surface in the near future as the moon continues to deepen......

Reporters from major media were invited to a special conference room, where the spokesperson sent by the Bureau of Science and Industry, and professionals sent by participating companies such as Aviation Science Group and Star Technology answered questions from reporters from major media.

At the same time, the hustle and bustle inside the launch tower did not stop.

Although the mission belonging to the Xiangrui has ended, for the staff of the ground command center, their mission has only just begun.

Including the navigation of the Xiangrui homecoming, including the remote control of the Yuegong space station, all had to be carried out by the ground commanders.

After standing in the control tower for a while, Lu Zhou did not disturb their work anymore and left the ground command center.

Just as he was walking through the launch runway and towards the entrance of the launch center, he happened to see a young reporter holding a microphone and interviewing the ground staff who had just completed the runway clearance.

After seeing Lu Zhou, the reporter's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the microphone and walked over quickly with the photographer behind her.

"Hello, we are CCTV reporters, are you Professor Lu?"

Lu Zhou, who was in a good mood, smiled and replied, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”

"Do you have time now? I'd like to ask you a few questions on behalf of the national audience waiting in front of the television. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "As long as I can answer." ”

Showing a Peugeot smile, the reporter's sister handed out the microphone and asked in a nice voice: "We all know that at present, Star Technology has become the most advanced space launch enterprise in China and even in the entire Asian region, can Professor Lu easily disclose that Star Technology will consider expanding its business field to space station construction or satellite design in the next step?" ”

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and spoke.

"I won't consider it for the time being, my positioning of the Star Science and Technology Space Launch Project Department is to build an interplanetary high-speed railway, and the launch project may be expanded from the moon to Mars or even more distant galaxies in the future, but the core business and main technology research and development direction will still focus on the development and improvement of spacecraft. For example, we have a project that we are working on, which falls into this category......"

As soon as she heard this, the reporter's eyes suddenly lit up.

A keen sense of professional smell tells her that big news is waiting for her.

So, without any hesitation, she immediately stretched out the microphone in her hand and asked with restraint of excitement in her tone.

"What exactly is the project? Can you please tell us about it? ”

Do you want to put the news out at this time?

Lu Zhou thought for a while, had an idea in his heart, and spoke.

"Considering that the demand for future launches on the Moon will be more than 1,000 tons, we are considering the creation of a corridor between the geosynchronous orbit and the Moon that can be used for the movement of materials between the Earth and the Moon, as well as ......"

The reporter's young lady asked excitedly: "And?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled and continued: "Also, it is convenient for us to send more people who are interested in the moon to the moon. ”

……

On the day that the Yuegong successfully entered orbit, it was 7 p.m. Beijing time.

CCTV's news broadcast officially announced the news of the successful orbit of the Moon Palace.

At the same time, with the lifting of the time limit for news secrecy, the major media that have participated in the press conference of the Bureau of Science and Industry have also followed suit to announce the relevant interview content to the public.

After the announcement of the successful orbit of the Moon Palace, Huaguo's feat in the lunar orbit once again shocked the world.

Since the Cold War, rocket launch technology has advanced with each passing day, the radius of activity of extraterrestrial planet probes has reached new highs, and the number of satellites and space junk orbiting the Earth has been increasing exponentially.

However, even so, no country can really build a space station weighing tens of tons into lunar orbit. Because this is not only a test of high-thrust rockets and satellite launch technology, but also a huge test of satellite control technology.

After all, the mass of the Moon is uneven, and the Moon's gravitational pull is too small compared to that of planets. Satellites orbiting the Moon will be more affected by the gravitational pull of other planets and even stars.

Under the influence of these two factors, it is difficult for spacecraft operating in lunar orbit to maintain the same orbit for a long time, and they must actively change their orbits according to the changes in the gravitational environment in order to be able to operate stably for a long time.

Most circumlunar exploration satellites have a fairly short lifespan, and they are usually thrown away when they run out. However, the Yuegong space station, which costs tens of billions of dollars, is obviously impossible to throw away when it runs out like ordinary moon-circumferential satellites, and the service life of a single space station is at least more than 20 years.

It can be seen that even with excellent propulsion technology, if there is no equally excellent control technology as an aid, the space station in the sky will be like a strong cripple, and no matter how good the physical exercise is, it will not be able to live like a normal person.

Fortunately, with Star Technology and Jinling Advanced Research Institute, Huaguo has gone further than other countries in electric propulsion technology.

The Lunemiya space station, which is equipped with an electric propulsion system that can provide stable and continuous thrust, has relatively much lower requirements for the control system.

Of course, even so, the Hangke Group has paid a lot of price for doing this.

The entire multi-meter-long core cabin almost concentrates the most advanced technology of the two giants of aviation science and aerospace, especially the main control computer, which is designed by the design team of "Shenwei" Taihu Light from the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center.

It is not only the technological crystallization of Huaguo's aerospace industry, but it is not an exaggeration to call it the crystallization of the entire Huaguo science and technology!

At the same time, in addition to the report on the news itself, the news network spent a whole episode reporting on the entire Moon Palace Project in front of and behind the scenes, and released a video about ten minutes long at the end of the program.

During the last manned landing on the moon, due to insufficient preparation, it was not possible to broadcast the live broadcast in real time to people waiting in front of televisions, mobile phones, and computer screens.

And this time, it's different from the last time.

Xiangrui, who upgraded the communication system, not only used the redundant communication resources to send back the high-definition photos of the Yuegong, but also recorded the entire process from the Yuegong to the orbit with the camera.

When this video was edited by professionals and released on news programs and online social media, the heat of related topics was completely detonated......
