Chapter 656: A New Chapter in the History of Astronautics!
Chapter 656: A New Chapter in the History of Astronautics!
At this moment, whether it was the space center 380,000 kilometers away, or the hundreds of millions of viewers squatting in front of their mobile phones, computers, and televisions watching the live broadcast, they all burst into violent cheers!
Countless people hugged each other, celebrated, and burst into tears.
And they succeeded!
Successfully landed on the moon and successfully stood on another planet!
Everyone was celebrating, including Chen Dong and Liu Yang, who were standing in front of the lunar module at the moment, and their hearts were filled with pride, pride, excitement, excitement and other emotions.
They, one step further, will make history!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Dong, who was standing in front, slowly paved the ramp for landing to the moon, and leaned on the railing, he walked towards the moon step by step.
When his feet touched the moon dust, he felt that his heartbeat had reached its limit, and the excitement in his heart was like a rough wave, which could not be calmed.
And following him, Liu Yang looked at the vast gray moon, his eyes were even redder, and he sniffed hard to keep the tears from falling.
The moon, the planet where countless people's hearts and dreams are placed, they have arrived!
On the other side, the earth Jinling, a subordinate space base.
When watching the two astronauts walk out of the Lanyue lunar module and really stand on the starry sky and that land, the entire general control center erupted in the most violent cheers.
Some people raised their fists and waved their fists in celebration, some people hugged their companions excitedly and rejoiced, and some people were already in tears.
At this moment, they, together with the astronauts who stood 380,000 kilometers away, wrote history and opened a new chapter in China's aerospace history.
Standing in front of the commander-in-chief, looking at the two astronauts who had already set foot on the moon, Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face, excited, excited, proud, and a little envious.
This is not only a major chapter in China's aerospace history, but also a new breakthrough in the history of human aerospace.
He hopes that this technology will mature as soon as possible, and that he can set foot on another planet in the near future, just like them.
On the side, standing beside Xu Chuan, Academician Chang Huaxiang, who served as the technical director of the Xinghai Research Institute/Aerospace Research Institute, had two tears on his wrinkled and furrowed face.
Looking at the image of the astronaut walking on the moon that was transmitted back in real time, his vision was already blurred. The figure of a middle-aged man quietly appeared in his pupils, smiling brightly at him.
That was his mentor, what he was like when he was young, and the mentor who guided him all his life after he was admitted to graduate school.
"Mentor, do you see that? Our space shuttle has not only restarted, but it has also stood on the bright moon. β
Looking at the vague figure, Chang Huaxiang muttered to himself, a little choked.
He still remembers that his mentor's greatest wish is to one day send the astronauts of his motherland to that bright moon. Now, after decades of reincarnation, this wish has been fulfilled in his hands.
At the same time, on the other side, in the live broadcast room of the moon landing project, hundreds of millions of viewers who watched the live broadcast reached the peak of their emotions at this moment, and everyone was celebrating and congratulating
[,,,! γ
γPunch in!γ A day that made history, and I had the honor to witness! γ
[Motherland cow pen! Kawajin is awesome! Successful moon landing! γ
[It's really not easy to get this far! This is the most exciting news I've heard this year! γ
[It's also the liver's hair loss, I have some ssr out of the liver, but people have a liver out of the sea of stars... γ
[When the youth is strong, the country is strong! ] Kudos to the Motherland! γ
What about Chang'e? What about the Moon Rabbit? Come out and take two steps to meet your fellow citizens! γ
[Hahahaha, now we're going to plant rice on the moon!! γ
[The battle is online: "Fake, all fake, the live broadcast was also filmed by us in the studio, how can we have the strength to go to the moon, don't believe it." βγ
At the moment of the successful moon landing, major platforms and media sent congratulatory messages that had already been prepared.
The successful manned landing on the moon is undoubtedly the most celebrated event of the year!
For thousands of years, countless Chinese compatriots living in this land have looked up at the moon overhead, Chang'e, Moon Rabbit, Cinnamon, Guanghan Palace Jinse, Silent Night Thoughts, Looking at the Moon Huaiyuan, Water Tune Song Head. Countless myths and poems convey people's beautiful yearning and longing for the moon.
And climbing on that bright moon is the wish and dream of countless people. Not only astronauts, but also the long-cherished wish and desire of all Chinese compatriots.
It's just that the tragic history before the founding of the People's Republic of China made their scientific and technological development lagging behind other countries for a time. Especially in top scientific research fields such as aerospace, the gap is even more obvious.
Whether it's aero engines or space engines, they're always catching up with other countries.
However, today, after Xinghai successfully sent three astronauts to the moon, it even achieved a dreamlike miracle of being the last to arrive first.
There is no doubt that on the road of electric propulsion, they have successfully achieved corner overtaking, reversed the backward situation in the past, and stood at the top of the world pyramid.
On the other side, the capital.
In the resettlement community of experts and professors of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, Academician Zhu Senyuan, an academician and expert in aerospace science and technology, one of the two major aerospace giants in China, is sitting on the sofa watching TV.
And the TV picture is the manned lunar landing project event broadcast live by CTV.
When he saw the two astronauts who slowly opened and stepped out of the lunar module to the moon, his heart, which had been lifting, was finally soothed.
As the designer of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket engine technology, and as the chief engineer of the aerospace group, it is his lifelong dream to send the lunar module belonging to the motherland to the moon and watch the astronauts of the motherland imprint the country's footprints on that piece of lunar soil.
Now, seeing that this dream has come true, although he did not create it himself, he does not have many regrets in his heart.
Some are satisfied, longing, and yearning for a broader future and the sea of stars.
Electric propulsion!
This path, which was once abandoned by almost everyone in the field of astronautics, was realized on that space shuttle!
Not only did he carry three astronauts to the moon, but it also opened up a new path for the aerospace field.
This is a road to a more distant future, a more open dream, a more brilliant galaxy, which can carry the human desire for space, but also carry a new space poem!
On the side, sitting on the sofa, living in the same community, and being an expert of the aerospace group, Academician Qu Mingcheng, who looked at the live broadcast on TV, said faintly:
"I really didn't expect them to actually do it."
Looking at the two astronauts who stepped on the moon, his heart was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions at this moment.
There is the joy and excitement of the successful manned landing on the moon, the same expectation for the future as Zhu Senyuan, and the loss and regret that the traditional chemical fuel carrier rocket is about to withdraw from the stage of the aerospace field.
He is the chief designer of the Long March rocket series, the famous Long March 5, and the Long March 9, a heavy-duty launch vehicle that has been designed and manufactured and is ready for production.
However, it is foreseeable that both the Long March 5 and the Chang 9, which is ready for production, will soon withdraw from the aerospace stage in the future.
Although this is not the whole denial, chemical fuel rockets are also needed for both the delivery of supplies to low earth orbit and the field of defense.
After all, technology cannot be replaced so quickly, just as the steam engine was invented hundreds of years ago, and it did not immediately replace the horse-drawn carriage, and the horse-drawn carriage still survived for a long time.
However, there is no doubt that with the development of the times and the optimization of electric propulsion system technology, it is foreseeable that chemical fuel rocket technology will gradually withdraw from the stage of aerospace.
Although it will not disappear, Qu Mingcheng still feels melancholy and lost for the end of the chemical-fueled launch vehicle.
It's not just something he's studied all his life, it's also the will that underpins his beliefs.
On the side, Academician Zhu Senyuan smiled and asked, "Do you remember what your dream is?" β
"Dreams?" Hearing this question, Qu Mingcheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Probably because I saw that our aerospace technology surpassed that of the United States and achieved a manned landing on the moon." β
Zhu Senyuan smiled, pointed to the live broadcast on the TV station, and said, "Isn't it realized now?" β
After a slight pause, he turned his head to look at the TV and continued: "Although the two of us did not enter the same batch of aerospace science and technology back then, if I remember correctly, Lao Qu Ling seems to be three or four years older than me, right?" β
"Well, it seems to be about the same." Qu Mingcheng nodded and replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Senyuan seemed to fall into memory, and after a pause, he continued: "Although we were not the first to enter aerospace science and technology, we are surprisingly consistent in our dreams and consensus. β
"At that time, we were all riveted and wanted to overturn the country, but after working hard all our lives, we found that we had been catching up with each other's pace."
"Although it can be said that whether it is the Long March series you designed or the liquid oxygen propulsion I researched, it can be said that it is at the forefront of the world, but there is still a long way to go before it is the top."
"Sometimes I even wonder if I will ever see a space rocket surpass the United States in my life. After all, I am in my seventies and almost eighty, and even if I can live to be ninety years old, I will only be in ten years. β
After a pause, he came out of his memories, looked at Qu Mingcheng and smiled, and continued: "But now, you see, our space shuttle has already done the work of sending astronauts to the moon, even before the later departure of the United States. β
Qu Mingcheng said expressionlessly: "But this is not our credit. β
Zhu Senyuan laughed and said, "What's the difference? We are all for the better development of the country, is there any difference between achieving it in the hands of you and me and realizing it in his hands? β
"Lao Qu, don't be able to pass the level in your heart. Think about it, whether you can't let go of the chemical fuel rocket, or the little thing you are holding in your hand. β
"Our country is progressing, science is developing, and there will always be a successor to replace us. Thankfully, among those who came after us, they took up the burden and did better than we did! β
After some thoughtful words, Qu Mingcheng fell into silence.
In this aerospace project, although aerospace science and technology have made a lot of contributions, they have been in an auxiliary position almost all the time.
As a veteran aerospace group, he is indeed very unwilling.
If it weren't for the above meaning, it would not be impossible for aerospace science and technology to compete with the Xinghai Research Institute.
It's just that he can't let go of the chemical fuel rocket, or the little thing he is holding in his hand?
At the same time, the other side.
Rice country, Washington state.
In one of NASA's offices, the roar of an elderly person can be heard clearly in the hallway through a thick door.
"Shit, are you a bunch of shit?"
"Why is there such a crisis on the moon, and why are our astronauts still trapped in the lunar module!"
"Damn rubbish! How did you make a promise? Who told me that this moon landing will definitely bring us new honors"
Looking at Mr. President, who was angry, several people standing in the office lowered their heads and were silent, for fear that they would attract attention if they didn't pay attention.
Especially NASA's Director Bill Carlson, his face is even more embarrassed, and his face is almost splashed with spittle.
He couldn't help but curse the idiot expert a hundred times in his heart again.
Damn fool, if it weren't for his advice, such an accident wouldn't have happened today, and if it weren't for the intervention of that ** secretary, he wouldn't have carried out such a risky job as landing on the moon ahead of schedule.
It's good now, it's his turn to carry the pot of NND, damn waste, it's more than enough to succeed!
Taking a deep breath, Bill Nelson stood up and explained under the cold gaze of the old gentleman: "There is a certain risk of landing on the moon early, but no one expected such a situation. β
"This time, the gravity of the Aitken Basin at the south pole of the moon where we landed was unevenly distributed, and the Artemis lunar module was placed in a large area of gravity, coupled with the increase in altitude, which caused the retarding engine to fail to achieve the desired effect, and damaged a landing gear during landing, which triggered a chain reaction"
Standing opposite, the elderly president stared at him and interrupted coldly: "I don't need to listen to these explanations, I just want to know how to bring our astronauts back from the 380,000 kilometers far away moon now!" β
Ps: Thank you for the big guy Hua Ruonan 10,000 points reward, thank you big guy, these two days to add more to the big guy
