After a period of mobilization activities, the entire Ascension Space Launch Center and observation points around the world became busy.
All preliminary preparations for Chang'e 1 and Long March 5 were inspected repeatedly and multiple times.
According to the detailed lunar landing information provided by Yingjiang, the landing site has been selected. It is an area with gentle terrain and relatively sufficient resources in the lunar equatorial region. The lighting conditions are very good, which is conducive to the initial acquisition of solar energy.
In a conference room, on a huge screen, a picture of a simulated aircraft login was continuously played. It looked like a jet-powered landing method.
"We must next develop a new type of aircraft that is safe and reliable and can travel to and from the moon and the blue star multiple times."
"Yes, the environment on the moon cannot be compared with Blue Star. All kinds of infrastructure here are very complete. If you want to get back on the moon, you have to rely on the aircraft itself."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry. After the 'observation station' is established, various infrastructures on the moon will be completed, and it will be much easier to travel back and forth by then."
"This is exactly what you think, you can't wait to eat it ready-made!
In the future, we will not only develop a moon. The development of various other outer space planets will be based on this data. We are preparing for the future. Although a lot of work seems to be a waste, it will allow us to maximize our potential. Various problems have been discovered to a certain extent. We have temporarily bypassed these problems, but they will still appear in front of us in the future! "
In the conference room, the topics discussed by the members of the project team were obviously not just lunar exploration. It can be concluded from their conversations that they are also preparing for long-term development of the moon this time.
But other issues aside, the issue of the aircraft's round trip was the first to be brought to the table. After all, no matter how it is developed and how many mines are mined from the moon, it will eventually be sent back to Blue Star. If they can't do this, even if they can Building a Death Star fortress on the moon is a waste of time.
But there is a new difficulty. The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of the blue star. In addition, there is no air. It is easy for various aircraft to take off, but landing is very confusing. You must plan a super route. Long runways use friction or reaction forces to slow down and land.
"So, we have to design a cheap aircraft for large-scale transportation. The spacecraft is too expensive. Besides, we don't need to send people up for the time being. Various design indicators have been greatly relaxed. There is no need to consider such many."
"Just add an engine for reverse deceleration!"
"Nonsense! This will destroy the overall fuselage layout of the aircraft!"
"What the hell are you talking nonsense about? The moon doesn't even have air, so there's no need to consider air resistance. It's just a ridiculous fuselage layout."
"Then how are you going to land on Blue Star? If you add a reverse engine and fly at high speed in Blue Star's atmosphere, it will definitely explode!"
"..."
After a group of people discussed this issue for a long time, they found that the main problem was not a bunch of things on the moon, but how to make the aircraft successfully land on the blue star from space.
The relevant discussion quickly reached Chen Yi, and he was scratching his head about this issue.
It is very difficult to transport resources between stars, which requires very advanced aerospace technology. Although the development of aerospace technology in this world is a bit ahead of his previous life, it is precisely because of his existence that it has caused a very embarrassing situation. Case.
Well, China now has the ability to carry out large-scale construction on alien planets, but it can only salivate at the various precious resources on alien planets, which it can see but cannot eat. . .
However, this kind of thing cannot be solved in a short time. You still need to take your time.
. . .
"Hello friends in front of the TV, I am Luo Li, a reporter from CCTV's Ascension Space Center in Xinneiya Island. You can see behind me. This giant space plane named Chang'e 1 is the The protagonist who was used to land on the moon for the first time has one minute left and our country’s first unmanned lunar exploration activity will take the exam!”
During the entire live broadcast, from Tianmen Square in the Forbidden City in Yanjing, to the magical city of Lujiazui, to the display screens on skyscrapers on the streets of Hong Kong Island, as well as in all homes in the mainland, all TV stations in the entire mainland were broadcasting the scene of this moment live.
"Enter thirty seconds countdown!"
"Twenty-nine, twenty-eight... Fifteen..." As the countdown got closer and closer, all the viewers who were paying attention to this scene became nervous.
Don’t be nervous. Looking at the giant bird-like figure of Chang’e-1, although many people are complaining that this “detector” is a bit too big. Visual inspection definitely weighs more than two hundred tons. Let’s look at the Long March. Number 5’s slender figure looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
"The ten-second countdown begins!
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, launch! "
With the sound of launch, the staff pressed the button simultaneously, and the Long March 5 sprayed out a huge flame in front of everyone's eyes. It slowly separated from the launch pad and rose into the sky carrying Chang'e 1, which was even larger than it. .
The ground workers also began to enter into orderly and intense work.
"The rocket is working normally and has entered the reserved position!"
"Abandon the escape tower and separate the booster; separate the first-stage rocket and abandon the fairing; ignite the second-stage rocket and prepare for the separation of the rocket ship!"
"The first-stage rocket successfully entered the recovery orbit!"
"The second-stage rocket begins to separate, the separation is successful, and Chang'e-1 is launched!"
When the Long March 5 and Chang'e 1 flew out of the dense atmosphere and reached an altitude of 150 kilometers, the two began to separate.
Chang'e-1's engine slowly started, blue flames spurted out from behind its butt, and it began to adjust its posture. .
The aviation center showed a specific picture. Chang'e-1 has entered space. At this time, it is constantly cooperating with the ground control center to adjust its orbit and speed, preparing to start heading for the moon.
"I'm done adjusting!"
In the control center, an electronic sound echoed in the hall. Chang'e-1 continued to fly around the blue star and accelerated with the help of gravity. The speed was getting faster and faster. At this time, the initial speed had reached 21 kilometers per second.
"Set off!"
After giving the order, Chang'e-1 turned around, left its original orbit and ran towards the moon. During the next process, Chang'e-1 continued to accelerate, reaching a speed of 45 kilometers per hour after half an hour. , it would take less than three hours to reach the moon.
But that's not how it works out. After all, Chang'e-1 can't directly make a close and intense contact with the moon at the fastest speed, so including the time for deceleration and adjustment, it will take about five hours.
During the neutral flight of Chang'e-1, all the melon-eaters at Blue Star were greatly frightened, and they began to complain in their hearts again.
Is this really a detector?
Some people believe that this thing is an aerospace plane!
However, no one came to answer their questions at this time. Two hours later, the live broadcast from Chang'e 1 showed that the moon was big and round, and even the bumpy surface could be seen.
As a result, the attention of the melon-eaters was replaced by the novelty of being able to observe the moon up close.
