At 8:12 p.m., the rocket launch entered a ten-minute countdown.

Through the screen of the command and control hall, you can see that the three astronauts in the cabin are making final preparations with serious expressions.

Imagine the upcoming trip to the moon in your mind.

Nie Shengdong, as the commander of this time, has many aerospace experiences, and is the calmest of the three.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of audiences from all walks of life around the world, ten minutes passed quickly.

The sound of a command was heard in the hall.

"A ten-second countdown."

"Nine."

"Eight."

……

"Two."

"One."

"Ignition."

……

"Take off."

The Long March 10 has already flown many missions, and this time it will not disappoint.

As a huge tongue of fire erupted from the tail of the rocket, the arrow body suddenly began to rise rapidly under the action of strong thrust, and from a distance, it looked like a spear piercing into the sky.

With an indomitable momentum.

Some people who came to Changhai to watch the rocket launch on the spot also burst into warm applause and cheers after seeing this scene.

We are proud of the successful launch of the Long March 10 manned launch vehicle.

More importantly, everyone knows that this launch also carries China's dream of flying to the moon for thousands of years.

——

"Booster separation."

"Fairing detachment."

……

"Arrow ship separation."

In the command and control hall, Xu Yun listened to the broadcast in his ears, until the manned spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket body and opened the sailboard, his face finally relaxed.

Even Zhou Mingwei, who was beside him, also sighed.

At least so far, the rocket launch mission has been successfully completed, and there has been no problem.

"The next docking of the manned spacecraft and the lunar lander, with our latest intelligent technology and experience, there is no need to worry about anything, and in the end it depends on whether they can live on the moon smoothly."

Zhou Mingwei looked at the screen in front of him, and said this to Xu Yun with a little emotion.

The docking of spacecraft is no longer a problem, relying on quantum communication networks and artificial intelligence, it is completely possible to complete the docking of spacecraft on its own.

It doesn't even take the astronauts in the spacecraft to do anything.

In the past, astronauts often shouldered great pressure and responsibility when performing such docking tasks.

It is necessary to cooperate with the docking work of the spacecraft.

If you make a mistake, the entire task will fail.

But now astronauts only need to manually open the hatch from the inside after the docking is complete.

Access to the lunar lander by a manned spacecraft.

"With more confidence in our Yuegong-1, our astronauts will definitely be able to live on the moon smoothly for three months."

Xu Yun turned to look at Zhou Mingwei when he heard the sound, and responded lightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

How could he be worried about his masterpiece.

What's more, according to the reserve of Yuegong-1, the three astronauts can theoretically live on the moon for half a year, but considering that the base has just been built and it is the first time for humans to move in, the final time is set at three months.

So in his opinion, Zhou Mingwei's worries are completely unnecessary.

And Zhou Mingwei didn't know this, but at his age, it was inevitable that he would suffer some gains and losses before he saw the results with his own eyes.

After listening to Zhou Mingwei's answer, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

After a slight pause of two seconds, he said: "I must believe in the base designed by your Xu Yuan, but this heart just can't be put down." "It's all about feelings.

Xu Yun understood that this situation was the softness of Zhou Mingwei's heart, for fear that something bad would happen.

So he was very understanding.

Anyway, when the whole project has been carried out here, even if you worry, you can't worry about it for a few days.

"Don't worry, you'll get a good night's sleep in a few days."

smiled and said to Zhou Mingwei again, and then focused on the screen in front of him.

Although the whole process has been mastered so far, the more important the moment, the more careless it is, after all, this is still related to the lives and safety of the three outstanding astronauts, and Xu Yun will never make such a mistake.

For the rest of the day, until the lander landed on the moon, he would be in the command and control hall.

Even if he doesn't need to do anything in the end.

But this is his responsibility as commander-in-chief.

It is also for dealing with emergencies.

Once the spacecraft leaves Earth, anything can happen.

We must not fight a battle for which we are unprepared.

At this moment, the lunar lander has already been waiting for the rendezvous in orbit around the moon, which has attracted countless viewers in the live broadcast room.

About three days.

Riding the spacecraft of Nie Shengdong and other three astronauts, it successfully entered the orbit around the moon from low earth orbit, echoing the lunar surface that has been re-orbited.

At this time, the next step is to start docking.

Astronauts also need to change their means of transportation to the moon and land on a lunar lander.

As predicted by the command and control hall, under the precise positioning of quantum communication, the docking was completed only with the ability of artificial intelligence in the deep sea, and when Nie Shengdong opened the hatch, the three of them also successfully entered the lunar lander from the manned spacecraft.

Next, the docked spacecraft will continue to fly in orbit until it enters the airspace above the range of the Yuegong-1 base.

At that time, the lunar lander will also separate from the spacecraft again and carry astronauts to the lunar surface.

Because the astronauts are going to carry out scientific experiments on the lunar base, they do not need to mine lunar soil for the time being, and the landing area in this case must also be near the base.

Otherwise, if the range is too far, the astronauts' extravehicular spacesuits alone will not be able to reach the base at all.

You must know that the Yutu-3 lunar rover has an active range of only about ten kilometers around.

With the smooth docking of the two spacecraft, the live broadcast room was also lively again.

Everyone knows that astronauts are about to land on the moon.

In order to express his feelings, the number of barrages is beyond words.

"The docking was successful."

"I knew it wasn't going to be difficult."

"Looking forward to it!"

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling on the bed again."

"Musk's spacecraft was also launched just now, and nothing seems to have happened."

"Who's looking at them now?"

"Whether or not they can restart the moon landing program, nothing will change now."

"Unless they can also build a lunar base."

……

In the quickly refreshed barrage, there is another thing that the audience mentioned.

That's SpaceX, which just launched its own spacecraft straight to the moon.

It's a pity that no matter how successful it is, it is just to eat the benefits of the ancestors, and there is no other use except to pay tribute.

Unless they also build a lunar base for human civilization.

Of course, this is not possible.

Obviously it represents that mankind is going to the moon, but not many people are playing in the huge live broadcast room, looking at the entire aerospace history and subsequent changes, it is enough to be called its first encounter.

Everyone's attention was focused on the Lunar Overseer's live broadcast room.

In the past, let alone landing on the moon, even the launch of an ordinary spacecraft experimental mission would attract a large number of people.

But now it's going to be a second moon landing, and no one is paying attention.

It can only be said that the construction of Moon Palace No. 1 is really an inverted frieze.

That's it.

As time passed, when the combination of the lunar lander and the manned spacecraft successfully reached the area above Yuegong-1, the lunar lander carrying the three astronauts separated again.

And quickly fell to the surface of the moon with engine power.

Rao is Xu Yun was confident, and he couldn't help but sweat at this time.

I didn't dare to take my eyes off the picture the whole time.

As for the audience in the live broadcast room, not to mention, it is almost in my throat.

I'm afraid that something will happen in the end.

Fortunately, what everyone was worried about did not happen, and when the lunar lander was about to land on the lunar surface, its own engine was successfully ignited and started, and the landing speed was slowed down with a force in the opposite direction.

Eventually, the silver-gray lunar lander landed on the lunar surface.

It is worth mentioning that as early as today, before the docking of the two spacecraft, two lunar rovers had already set off from the base.

Go to the approximate coordinate location where the lunar lander landed.

Due to various conditions, the lunar lander could not land near the lunar base of the lava tube cave, so it had to choose a suitable area nearby.

But even if it's only a few kilometers away, astronauts can't walk on two legs.

Therefore, the Yutu-3 lunar rover for transportation is indispensable.

Almost as soon as the lunar lander landed, the rover moved over and waited patiently.

Although the three astronauts were already very close to the lunar soil at this time, they could not immediately walk out of the capsule.

It is necessary to confirm that the physical condition of the astronauts meets the requirements in the command and control hall before they can wear extravehicular spacesuits and walk out of the capsule.

"Moon report, Commander Nie Dongsheng asks to get out of the capsule!"

After so many days of boring space flight, now that he has finally reached the moon, Nie Dongsheng, even as an astronaut of the older generation, can't control the excitement and excitement in his heart.

In this state of mind, I can't stay there.

So almost immediately, he reported to the command center and applied to leave the cabin now.

"From the establishment of the space agency to the present, after so many years of joint efforts of two generations of astronauts, we have finally waited for this day to come." Zhou Mingwei heard Nie Dongsheng's voice, and past memories began to flash in his mind, so that the whole person was a little emotional.

Because he was refused to participate in the International Space Station experiment, he decided to build his own space station.

So far, the first lunar base of human civilization has been built, and a manned landing on the moon has been realized.

It can be said that the dream of flying to the moon for thousands of years has finally come true today.

Although Xu Yun is not an astronaut, he also understands Nie Dongsheng's feelings very well at this moment.

Even he thinks it's him on the moon at the moment.

So after determining that all indicators were in line with the exit data, Xu Yun no longer hesitated to do anything, and immediately issued an exit order as the commander-in-chief.

"Permission to go out of the cabin."

Nie Dongsheng, who was far away in the lunar lander, received an order to forcibly suppress the strong joy in his heart and quickly calm down again.

After this is done, the preparation of the cabin begins.

As for the other two astronauts, they also began to prepare.

Later, he will follow Nie Dongsheng out of the cabin.

As the minutes ticked by, everyone felt that these few minutes were so slow.

It wasn't until Nie Dongsheng, who was wearing an extravehicular spacesuit, put his hand on the door of the lander that everyone quickly held their breath, and they didn't even dare to blink at this important moment.

I'm afraid of missing this historical moment.

At this time, it is no exaggeration to say that the number of domestic netizens online in the live broadcast room alone is as high as hundreds of millions.

But the number of barrages in the live broadcast room is very small.

Everyone's spirits were highly stressed.

It was as if the moment was when they themselves were about to step on the surface of the moon.

Soon, as Nie Dongsheng successfully opened the hatch, the environment on the surface of the moon finally came into view.

And this time it's no longer a camera shot.

In the face of this sudden visual impact, Nie Dongsheng was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, and then took a firm step over the steps of the lander and stepped on the lunar soil.

After many years, humans have once again left footprints on the moon.

Then, when Nie Dongsheng stepped on the lunar soil with both feet, he took a deep breath and reported to the command center.

"Moon Report."

"I'm out of the cabin and feeling good."

With these eight words coming out, it was like a lit fuse, completely pushing everyone's emotions to a peak.

The barrage, which was originally a few, broke out on a large scale in an instant.

Everyone's mood was extremely excited.

"The magic capital is out of the cabin, and it feels good."

"Yangcheng sent a congratulatory message!"

"A congratulatory message from Jingzhou City!"

"The first person to step on the lunar soil was the left foot, as you know."

"I'm so excited, this day has finally arrived, and we have to celebrate today."

"This is by no means the end of our space program."

"I was so excited just now, I beat up my brother, may I ask you guys that I did the right thing?"

"The dream of landing on the moon for a thousand years, when the dream comes true."

"I really want to go to the moon and jump twice, I don't know if I have a chance in this life."

Meanwhile.

Overseas people are also very excited when they see this scene.

While expressing his congratulations, he did not forget to compare the lunar landing plans of SpaceX and NASA, and expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

"It's a miracle that they actually did!"

"We should be proud."

"It's unimaginable that we've achieved extraterrestrial habitation this year, and Xu is simply God's favorite."

"It's a small step for the individual, a giant leap for humanity."

"I really don't know what our space agency is doing, and it hasn't been re-landed on the moon until now."

"Why don't we have our own moon base."

……

Regarding the massive heat in the live broadcast room, Nie Dongsheng, who was already walking on the surface of the moon at the moment, naturally didn't know, and the whole person was completely immersed in this feeling completely different from the earth.

Of course, he didn't forget that he still had to carry out the mission.

As soon as the other two astronauts in the lunar lander were out of the capsule, the three of them began to act.

First of all, two Yutu-3 lunar rovers are nearby, which can be used as their means of transportation to the lunar base.

But before they can do that, they need to unload something from the lunar lander and transport it to the lunar base.

The Yutu-3 lunar rover was designed to have a large carrying capacity, but there is no problem with carrying two astronauts, and what is unloaded from the lunar lander is not worth mentioning.

It didn't take long for everything to be loaded with the help of the rover's robotic arm.

Then the three of them got on the rover and went home.

Return to man's home on the moon.

The rover is completely controlled by artificial intelligence on the ground in the deep sea, and there is no need for astronauts to control it on the way back.

Thus, this gives the astronauts enough time to enjoy the view of the moon's surface.

Although the moon is full of gray and dead silence unlike the vitality of the earth, it is still full of great attraction for first-time humans.

Nie Dongsheng's extravehicular spacesuit on them can last for eight hours.

Enough for them to reach the lunar base during this time.

There's nothing to worry about.

In addition, in the next three months, in addition to conducting scientific experiments in the lunar base, they can also rely on spacesuits to conduct sampling research outside the base.

After a period of travel, Nie Dongsheng and the three of them finally saw this moon base built without relying on manpower.

Looking through the mask of the spacesuit, one can already imagine the shock of this project, even though the surface of the moon is exposed to the base shelter module.

Although they usually have to do various trainings, because they have to live in the lunar base for a period of time, they have also seen the construction process of this lunar base.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a miracle.

At this time, they naturally did not delay outside, and immediately walked towards the entrance after getting off the lunar rover.

"After a long journey, we're finally home now."

Through the communication equipment in the spacesuit, Nie Dongsheng said this solemnly to the two team members, and then opened the hatch and entered the base.

Although the gravitational pull of the Moon is not comparable to that of the Earth, living on a lunar base is still a different feeling from being on a space station.

This requires Nie Dongsheng and them to adapt as soon as possible.

As for the rest of the time, after they change back into their cabin suits, they will officially report to the command center at the lunar base.

It can be said that this project has come to an end temporarily.

However, the development of lunar resources is still a serious problem, and it still needs to be continuously developed in technology.

And just when the moon base finally gained some popularity, Musk Nibison and others, who were far away at the Kendini launch center overseas, looked a little gloomy and terrifying.

Seeing with his own eyes that the project Xu Yun was in charge of had entered a new level, the frustration in his heart became more and more serious.

He was confident that his starship represented the top in the world, so he wanted to invite Xu Yun to join the alliance.

But now, compared with the No. 1 base of the Moon Palace that Xu Yun is in charge of, he can't even see the parking lights.

Now he finally understands that Xu Yun said that staying in the aerospace office is indeed a more suitable stage.

"Looks like I don't have a chance to convince the other party!"

At this time, Musk looked at the live broadcast room where the number of people online was still growing, and finally turned a thousand words into this emotion.

But compared to his admission of defeat, Nibison, who is the head of the Aeronautics and Space Agency, is a little reluctant to accept this fact, and the thought of his two important projects being smashed in his hands makes his heart uncontrollably angry.

It can only be said that in terms of space-based weapons and manned moon landings, he will definitely not reveal them like this.
