Chapter 1: "Asterisk"
In 2025, the Wenchang Launch Center, the eyes of people all over the world are focused here!
At 19:50 Beijing time, the "Star Alien" spacecraft carrying an astronaut was preparing to launch under the boiling expectations of the world.
This space mission is the world's first high-definition live broadcast landing by a moon lander from the first perspective.
At this time, all CCTV channels are displaying the same picture.
According to the data, 5 billion people around the world are in front of the screen at this moment, nervously and excitedly looking forward to the arrival of the greatest moment in human history!
"Hello everyone, brothers from all over the country and all over the world! First of all, thank you for your support to Professor Ding Beihai's moon landing program! The host was dressed in a suit, standing 3 kilometers away from the "Xingwai" spacecraft, he helped the frame of his glasses in Phnom Penh, and said righteously, "The "Xingwai" will be lifted off on time at 20:00, and the pilot Li Wei will have a first-person perspective and an interactive session of up to 1 hour, do you want to observe the moon up close? Do you want to see the moon with your own eyes? Let's wait and see! ”
In front of the screen, listening to the host's impassioned words, every inhabitant of the earth is boiling with enthusiasm.
This spacecraft, named "Star Alien", is the latest generation of spacecraft developed by the cooperation of the world's top scientists.
"Xingwai" is the first manned nuclear-powered spacecraft, it does not need a huge volume to carry a large weight of fossil fuels, mainly deuterium, tritium as nuclear fusion energy, clean and powerful!
Although the size of the "Star Alien" spacecraft is only the size of a basketball court, it can instantly increase the acceleration of the spacecraft to the escape velocity of the earth.
When Professor Ding Beihai and other professors from other countries designed the lunar landing program, they also had a more important task, that is, to establish a lunar self-circulation ecosystem.
This is also the reason why there is only one space hero in this lunar landing program. In addition, there are two fully intelligent robot nannies, who are responsible for Li Wei's daily life and the construction of the base after the moon landing.
At 19:59 Beijing time, the countdown to the moon landing was displayed on the screens of almost all televisions, computers, mobile phones, tablets, and watches around the world.
People all stared at the ever-changing Arabic numerals in front of them with wide eyes:
“10…… 9…… 8…… 7…… 6…… 5……”
The host turned around and stared in the direction of the "Star Bug" with the people of the globe.
“4……”
In the aerospace control room, all the technicians and scientific research experts are watching their screens closely, for fear of even the slightest accident.
“3……”
All the audience members were already holding their breath, their eyes wide open, and they were staring closely at every move of the "Star Horn"!
“2……”
At this time, the ignition device in the engine compartment was fully in place, and the president had already placed his index finger directly above the ignition button.
“1……”
At the end of the countdown, accompanied by the exclamation of people around the world, Professor Ding Beihai shouted the last two words: "Ignition - fire - "
The entire "Star Outer Ship" accelerated extremely and dragged its long blue tail.
The spacecraft looked like a meteor in the dark night of the Northern Hemisphere, and soon turned into a little bit of light in the boundless darkness.
The "Star Outer Star" soon broke out of the atmosphere and entered the Earth-Moon orbit.
The screen in front of everyone's eyes has also been transferred to the first perspective of astronaut Li Wei!
"Wow! Dad, is this the universe? A freckled little boy stared curiously at the endless darkness, his eyes blinking like the stars around him.
"Yes, my dear." A yellow-haired man next to him stretched out his thick arm and put his arm around the boy's shoulder, "There is no atmosphere in outer space, and darkness is everywhere. ”
"It's amazing!"
……
It will take 24 hours for the spacecraft to reach the moon, and then slow down by reversing kinetic energy.
The whole flight process should have been endless loneliness and loneliness, but Li Wei was able to communicate with the command room on the ground, and even respond to the comments and replies after the selection.
Although time is slower than ten seconds in information transmission, this does not stop human curiosity about space at all.
"Dear Mr. Li, how do you feel now?"
After reading this message, Li Wei looked at himself with a smile, and the camera also saw that Li Wei's legs had actually left the seat.
"Now I feel like I'm a feather, or even lighter." Li Wei stretched out his hand and gently pushed it on the wall cabin, and his whole body was flying in reverse at a uniform speed.
Li Wei locked the camera on his feet in flight and explained: "At this time, the spacecraft has accelerated to escape speed and is flying at a constant speed, without any gravity and drag in the entire vacuum, so if there is no interference, I can fly like this forever......"
Humans have learned this knowledge in science books for a long time, but it is still amazing to see it today.
"Mr. Li, is there a mission to explore extraterrestrial life in this mission to the moon?"
After Li Wei finished reading, he pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, we have been exploring extraterrestrial civilizations for many years, and we have not made any progress so far, but I always firmly believe that extraterrestrial life exists, but at present, we can't contact it. What's more, until today, mankind has just taken the first step towards building an extraterrestrial base! ”
Li Wei also answered the subsequent questions one by one, most of the people who watched the live broadcast were tired, but there were still hundreds of millions of people who stayed up late to interact with Li Wei with the mood of exploration.
The Star Outer soon came to the vicinity of the moon and began to slow down with thrust reverse.
Due to the excessive acceleration, Li Wei has integrated his body into the maintenance compartment and waited for him to wake up after landing.
Everything went even more smoothly than imagined, the "Star Alien" successfully landed, and Li Wei, on behalf of the first perspective of all mankind, is about to set foot on the planet closest to mankind and explore the mysteries of the moon.
At this time, the people who had already been sleeping, the people who were working, and even the students who were in class stopped what they were doing and stared at Li Wei's every move with full attention.
After a puff of white smoke, the landing bay slowly opened, and Li Wei took the first step of the spacecraft.
"......"
Suddenly, the picture turned into a snowflake.
Everyone was taken aback.
I can't see the picture, I can only hear Li Wei's voice.
"Who are you...... I am a friendly messenger of the earth...... Excuse me...... 呲呲...... Beep! ”
