"Everyone has worked hard in the past few days, but today has also come to the most critical time of this launch mission, I hope everyone can cheer up the spirit of twelve points and fight until the last second."

December 1, 2026, Changhai Space Launch Center.

Zhao Hongyu, as the commander-in-chief in the command and control hall, encouraged all the engineering personnel present.

In the past few days after the successful launch of the Long March 10, everyone spent most of their time in the hall, and the time to rest can be said to be only a handful.

But no one dared to relax in the slightest.

Although the Long March 10 successfully completed its mission, the lunar lander has not yet reached the moon.

And today is the day when the lunar lander landed.

Since the mission only transports the lunar rover and the quantum repeater, there is no lunar soil collection and return trip, which means that as long as the lander successfully lands on the lunar surface, it marks the complete launch of the mission.

At present, Zhao Hongyu's heart is also much more relaxed, especially those previous worries have all disappeared.

After all, most of the new generation rockets will accidentally appear in the process of going to the predetermined orbit when they are launched for the first time, and they will crash due to unexpected conditions before they even fly for a few seconds.

Since the Long March 10 has passed this link safely, it shows that the technology of the Long March 10 is quite mature.

With this result, even if there is a problem on the lunar rover's side, the far-reaching value of this launch can be preserved.

In fact, even if he doesn't mention such a sentence, everyone will definitely not slack off at the last moment.

Hearing this word of encouragement, he immediately expressed his voice in unison: "Please rest assured, commander." ”

After speaking, he focused on the screen in front of him and returned to work.

Zhao Hongyu was naturally very satisfied with this, and sat on his chair and nodded frequently.

Zhou Mingwei, who listened to all this conversation in his ears, looked at Xu Yun beside him at this time, and after noticing that his expression was not turbulent, he couldn't help but take the initiative to talk.

"How?"

"Are you worried?"

"At present, the lander is operating normally in orbit, and there should be no problems with a smooth landing."

He was well aware that after the lander reached the lunar surface, it would also face the launch of the lunar rover and the opening of the quantum repeater, which would allow it to establish a connection with the large repeater on the ground.

If there is any problem in the middle, it will affect the progress of the manned lunar landing project in the future.

After all, with such a long distance on the surface of the moon, it is difficult to investigate and solve the problem if it really appears.

As the person in charge of the quantum repeater and lunar rover project, it is normal for Xu Yun to be a little nervous at the moment, and it is precisely because of this that he deliberately opened his mouth in the hope of appeasing Xu Yun's mood.

But he soon realized that he was overthinking.

Because I saw Xu Yun slowly turn his head in the next second, and explained in a more puzzled tone.

"I'm not worried."

"As long as your lander is functioning properly, there will be no problems with the lunar rover and the quantum repeater."

Zhou Mingwei was also embarrassed when he heard this, thinking about how he had forgotten Xu Yun's usual performance, how could such a confident and confident genius scientist be nervous at this time.

On the contrary, because of this sentence, he was a little apprehensive.

Although the lander landing is basically 100% stable at this time, it is not a 100% guarantee.

It is important to know that the environment and terrain of the lunar surface are very complex, and the lander needs to scan the lower part during the landing process, automatically adjust the landing attitude and land in a gentle and safe area as much as possible.

It's no different from lunar garbage.

The thought stayed here, and Zhou Mingwei didn't care about talking, and hurriedly put all his attention on the screen.

Xu Yun naturally knew Zhou Mingwei's mental journey, but he didn't say much.

Anyway, whether it is the Long March 10 or the lander, he is very confident.

The successful launch of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle is already the best proof of this.

It is worth mentioning that at the same time, he also contacted the quantum computer cloud platform of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the large-scale repeater on the ground in charge of Pan Xiaozhi in advance.

At present, the large repeater on the ground has been deployed, and it is waiting for the repeater on the lunar surface to turn on to receive quantum signals.

At that time, it will be connected with the quantum computer cloud platform to truly realize the coverage of the quantum communication network.

Lay the foundation for the next lava tube cave moon base construction.

And just when everyone on the side of the control and command center was going all out, the number of people online in the live broadcast room, which had been broadcast live for several days, began to soar with a huge number.

After witnessing the successful ignition and take-off of the new generation of Long March 10 manned launch vehicle, everyone also wants to witness the use of the new generation of lunar rover again.

Although the number of people is somewhat lower than when the rocket was launched a few days ago, the heat is still sweeping the whole network.

But if you want to say who is the most excited in the live broadcast room, it is the person who insists on sticking to the live broadcast room for a few days and does not quit.

Because I was so excited to see the long ten ignition take off, I promised to see the lunar rover in the live broadcast room before it was broadcast, and there were quite a few of them.

In the back, even the live broadcast room bubbled repeatedly, and someone recognized it.

In an instant, a barrage storm was triggered.

"I'm finally going to land on the moon, do you know how I survived these six days?"

"Fierce man!"

"Don't tell me that you've been guarding the live broadcast room."

"Take a group photo."

"I don't know what the Yutu-3 lunar rover looks like, so I don't think it has been announced."

"I'm quite surprised to talk about this, and it seems to be keeping it a secret."

"This is even more exciting, as a new generation of lunar rover, it will definitely be more powerful."

……

Previously, because the lunar rover plan designed by Xu Yun replaced Zhang Feng's original plan, and the time was relatively tight, this led to the subsequent announcement of the new generation of lunar rover.

This makes everyone full of curiosity about Yutu No. 3 and wants to see the specific appearance.

As for netizens' curiosity about the new generation of lunar rover, the personnel in the control and command hall are naturally unclear at this moment.

Because now it has finally come to the most critical time.

The lander is about to officially land.

"Reached above the pre-selected area on the front of the Moon."

"Go to hover mode."

"Begin to implement the drop in momentum."

……

"Turn to slow descent mode."

"Posture correction."

……

"Landing on the moon!"

Accompanied by the instructions of the engineering personnel in the hall, when the last four words sounded, there was a burst of warm applause.

Through the camera footage of the lander, the combination can be seen to land smoothly on the surface of the moon.

Meanwhile.

The barrage in the live broadcast room also quickly swiped the screen.

"Awesome."

"It worked."

"What about the lunar rover, I want to see the Jade Rabbit."

"When the lunar rover will be released, the image should change greatly."

"Sit back and wait for the Jade Rabbit."

In the control command hall, Zhao Hongyu, who was sitting in the command position, finally relaxed completely at this moment.

From the launch of the Long Ten to the successful landing of the lander today, his spirit can be said to be tense.

I am afraid that the failure of the launch mission will have a bad impact on the aerospace project.

Fortunately, it has been going very well so far.

As for the next time, it is naturally Xu Yun's turn to carry out the following command operations.

He didn't hesitate in this matter, and immediately looked at Xu Yun next to him and said with a smile: "The next command will be handed over to you Xu Yuan, I believe that this time will definitely be a happy ending." ”

"I think so." Xu Yun nodded in response, also smiling.

Although all the pressure has come to him now, his face has always remained calm, without any worries or worries.

Because he is confident in his masterpiece.

After answering Zhao Hongyu, Xu Yun stood up and came to the back of the main console engineers.

Start giving follow-up instructions.

"Prepare to release the Yutu-3 lunar rover."

"Release successful." The engineer did not talk nonsense at all, and immediately implemented the operation after receiving the instruction.

Soon, with the successful launch of the Yutu-3 lunar rover and the successful deployment of solar panels, the progress of the mission has taken a big step forward.

However, because the quantum communication network is not yet covered, the audience can only see a general picture of the lunar rover.

And it doesn't look very clear.

For this ancestral secret picture quality, although everyone was disappointed, they didn't say much.

After all, everything that is familiar can't be more familiar.

On the contrary, there are many people who call on professionals in related fields, hoping to interpret this picture and analyze the upgrade and functions of Yutu 3 through the information on the picture.

Mainly, even if the photos are blurry, you can see that compared with the previous generation of Yutu 2 lunar rover, the new generation of Yutu 3 lunar rover has obviously undergone very big changes.

"Is this the new generation of lunar rover, it's really changed."

"It's too blurry."

"Sure enough, it's a familiar ancestral secret picture quality."

"Which big guy will analyze what this lunar rover can do."

"It feels amazing."

"Is the live stream over?"

The Yutu-3 lunar rover has been successfully launched, so the next step is to use the robotic arm to remove the quantum repeater and turn it on.

Although quantum repeaters are currently directly exposed to the lunar environment, there is no way to do it.

When the construction of the lava tube cave lunar base is completed, the quantum repeater will naturally be properly placed.

Fortunately, for this quantum repeater on the moon, Xu Yun has strengthened it on the original basis, which can ensure that it will not be affected by the harsh environment such as the huge temperature difference of radiation on the lunar surface.

However, since the quantum repeater has not yet been announced, and the new lunar landing plan has not been released to the public, the live broadcast has to be temporarily suspended.

After the mission is completely completed, we will discuss when a new lunar landing plan will be announced to the world.

Although this made the audience a little disappointed, it was relatively intense.

After all, the launch mission has been a complete success, and this is something to be happy and excited about.

In the following time, Xu Yun naturally did not delay, and then asked the engineer to start the preset program in the Yutu-3 lunar rover.

Perform an unloading and power-on operation on the quantum repeater.

Although the lunar rover has not yet been connected to the deep sea with quantum computers and strong artificial intelligence, the built-in intelligent program capabilities are also not low, which is enough to carry out the exploration mission of the lunar lava tube cave normally.

It's just less efficient.

In the face of such a trivial matter as turning on the quantum repeater, it is even less of a problem to operate.

With the attention of all the engineering staff, the Yutu-3 lunar rover successfully unloaded the quantum repeater and started up successfully using a robotic arm.

The large-scale repeater on the ground, which has been docked with the command and control hall, and the quantum computer cloud platform of the Academy of Sciences, also quickly gave exciting answers.

"The ground-based large repeater successfully received the quantum entanglement signal."

"A quantum computer is connected."

As the repetition of the command sounded from the screen, the hall once again burst into long-lasting applause.

At this moment, the artificial intelligence deep sea supported by quantum computers and huge servers has successfully connected to the Yutu-3 lunar rover, which can directly execute instructions to the equipment on the moon.

The lunar surface data detected by the key lunar rover will also be transmitted back to the ground for analysis without delay.

I don't know how many times its efficiency has increased.

"There is a picture."

"The camera footage of the Jade Rabbit 3 has been transmitted."

Soon, when a surprise sounded, everyone was stunned to find that the real-time shooting of the Yutu-3 camera appeared on the main screen, and the environment of the moon was clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes for the first time.

It gives you the feeling of controlling a remote-controlled car and exploring everywhere.

Although Zhao Hongyu and Zhou Mingwei had known the content of the project for a long time, they were still shocked to see this effect with their own eyes.

The whole person was a little distracted, and whispered softly in a trance.

"It's too clear, after so many years of studying astronautics, it's the first time I've seen such a moon."

"It's fascinating!"

"It's beautiful."

Xu Yun heard the familiar voice in his ears, and his face was suddenly full of smiles, and he was very happy in his heart.

Seeing that your efforts have led to such achievements shows that all the previous efforts have been worth it.

However, although the current launch mission has been successfully completed, it is the beginning of the manned lunar landing program, and in addition to carrying out multiple launch missions, it is also responsible for the construction of the lunar base.

In a sense, it's a long game.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun walked over to Zhou Mingwei and said, "Our next task is still very heavy, Academician Zhou, the next step is to let the lunar rover detect the appropriate location and size of the lava pipe cave as soon as possible." There was no nervousness on his face when he said this.

Zhou Mingwei was also pulled back to reality by Xu Yun's words, although he knew that the burden on his shoulders was still very heavy, but as soon as he saw the real-time picture of the moon on the screen, he suddenly had no pressure.

"With you to help me solve the problem of the quantum communication network between the Earth and the Moon, we will definitely have no problem with the rest."

"I think I'll be able to bombard the lava tube caverns soon."

"I'm really looking forward to that day!" Zhao Hongyu couldn't help but sigh when he listened to the conversation between the two.

Xu Yun knew that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Mingwei said, and with the backing of quantum computers and artificial intelligence, it would not take long to determine the location of the suitable lava pipe cave.

At that time, it will be necessary to launch a manned spacecraft equipped with a modified drilling device into orbit around the moon, and bombard the lava pipe cavity through a precision launch drilling device to make a hole.

At the same time, more Yutu-3 lunar rovers will be transported to clean up the lava tube caverns after the bombardment.

Ensure the precise landing of the base core module.

These processes may seem complex and technically challenging, but Xu Yun has already optimized the solution, so as long as the manufacturing is carried out step by step, the first lunar base is expected to be completed within two years.

At that time, astronauts can be officially sent to the moon and live on a lunar base.

Compared with these things that are still far away, there is another thing that makes Xu Yun quite curious at the moment, that is, when the new manned lunar landing program will be officially announced.

After all, if the Long March 10 is launched frequently, it will definitely attract the attention of the outside world.

It is certainly not possible to come up with an excuse to deal with it.

Since the moon landing plan and the expected time were announced in advance, the new plan should also be announced.

Moreover, the successful completion of this launch mission is enough to prove that we have the strength to complete the new plan.

Besides, this is also something that makes the Chinese people proud.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun didn't put the matter in his heart, and asked Zhou Mingwei directly.

"Academician Zhou, now that the Chang 10 has been successfully launched, is it almost time to announce the new lunar landing program?"

"The Space Office has already thought about this matter, and will officially hold a press conference when we go back, summarizing the successful launch of the Long March 10 and announcing our new manned lunar landing program." Zhou Mingwei didn't sell anything in this matter, and directly answered with a hearty smile.

got the answer to this matter in this way, and then Xu Yun didn't say anything more.

I just thought that when the new plan was officially announced, I could pay a little attention to it.

Because it is certain that when this plan comes out, it will definitely attract the attention of all regions of the world, and I am afraid that many people will even think that they are crazy to choose to build a lunar base.

……

In the next few days, netizens were still immersed in the fun of digging and analyzing the Yutu-3 lunar rover, and even many professionals published videos to express their views.

It has become a network-wide solicitation activity.

However, for some people's analysis, many netizens think it is impossible.

I think that with the current level of aerospace technology, it should not be possible to develop that kind of lunar rover.

In the end, I felt that although the appearance of the new generation of lunar rover has changed greatly, there should not be many changes in the actual function.

And it is worth mentioning that they have no idea at the moment that an even more shocking news is waiting for them at the moment.

Just as Zhou Mingwei said, after leading the team back to the Manned Space Engineering Office, a plenary discussion meeting was held soon after, and it was decided to officially announce the new manned lunar landing program.

As the time passed minute by minute, and soon came to mid-December, the Manned Space Engineering Office held a press conference to summarize the launch of the Long 10.

Zhou Mingwei, who was the main attendee at the press conference, answered the reporter about the early launch of the Chang 10 research and development, and then announced the adjustment of the original lunar landing program on behalf of the Manned Space Engineering Office.

It was decided to give priority to the construction of a lava tube cave lunar base, and then to land a man on the moon for a short-term lunar habitation expedition.

As soon as this news was reported, it was like dropping a bombshell on the Internet, and it quickly aroused heated discussions from all walks of life around the world.
