At this time, the ground control center received a message sent by Chang'e-1 two seconds ago.
"I've started to slow down."
Following the statement in the electronic voice, all the staff looked nervously at the data on the big screen.
The moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the Blue Star, so if Chang'e-1 wants to land, it must slow down enough to be captured by the moon.
However, the method of decelerating Chang'e-1 is what the project team members who discussed the lunar landing said before. A reverse deceleration engine is installed on the front of the fuselage.
That's why Chang'e 1 needs the Long March 5 to carry it to the sky. Otherwise, it would be nonsense to fly this kind of power structure on a planet with dense air like Blue Star. Otherwise, Chang'e 1's power system can fly out of Blue Star on its own. .
About an hour later, Chang'e-1 has decelerated to 5 kilometers per second. At the same time, the moon in the live broadcast is getting bigger and bigger, and the image is very clear.
"I'm in lunar orbit."
After sending a message to the control center, Chang'e-1 did not wait for orders, but began to adjust its flight attitude and steadily entered the lunar gravity capture range.
This is a delicate job, and you may be thrown out if you don't pay attention.
At this time, ordinary spacecraft will start to worry about whether the energy they carry can satisfy the problem of continuing operations. Therefore, the controller of Chang'e 1 has the right to make decisions on the fly without giving orders from the ground.
Otherwise, it would take three seconds for the information to be transmitted back and forth. At this time, a millisecond-level error may cause the orbit to fail, so Chang'e-1 will not wait for delayed command information.
However, the energy carried by Chang'e-1 is still very abundant for the time being, but it is best to use it sparingly, because this is related to the initial energy supply after landing.
At the same time, on Blue Star's side, a group of aerospace scientists began to conduct on-site interpretation and popularize science about every step and every link. The most critical link - landing was about to come.
At this time, Chang'e-1, which had entered the orbit, began to adjust its posture. The two tail flames behind the butt were precisely controlled to output power. As the picture on the moon became clearer and clearer, when the speed and altitude decreased to a certain level, At that time, Chang'e-1 ejected a small landing module.
At this time, the live broadcast camera turned to the first-person view of this small landing module, completely losing the perspective of Chang'e-1.
All the melon-eating people had no time to pay attention to this strange behavior. They just stared at the picture on the screen getting closer and closer to the ground.
The landing module gradually lowered its altitude, and suddenly four blue flames were ejected from below, and a cloud of dust was brought up from the moon's surface. As the landing module got closer and closer to the ground, until the base was about to contact the ground, the speed was almost When it reaches zero, the engine is completely shut down.
The landing module landed steadily on a seemingly flat ground, but of course there was another burst of dust.
It was only then that all the melon-eaters let out a gentle breath. Then when a rover slowly drove out of the landing module, everyone who was paying attention to the scene knew that it was safe this time.
"Dear viewers, the Yutu-1 probe rover has perfectly set foot in the pre-set area. Everything is running well. We descendants of Yan and Huang have now taken a historic step!"
The CCTV reporter in charge of commentary was also very excited at this time.
And Quanlan Star was completely boiling at this moment. At this point, not to mention the missing Chang'e-1, when this probe vehicle drove smoothly on the lunar surface, it already represented the success of this lunar landing. It worked.
However, ordinary melon-eating people may have subconsciously ignored the big guy Chang'e-1, but it is impossible for the decision-makers of other Blue Star players to forget it.
Both Benjamin and Vladimir looked solemnly as they listened to a group of experts speculating for them on what a large aircraft with sufficient fuel and no need to worry about air resistance, weighing more than two hundred tons, could do.
But a group of people couldn't figure out why China didn't just let Chang'e-1 land after much thought.
It is said that they all have this strength, and there is no problem in carrying out manned moon landing. However, Chang'e 1 has just disappeared, and China also deliberately downplays the existence of Chang'e 1. Now all the melon-eating people in Blue Star have His attention shifted to Jade Rabbit No. 1.
It’s impossible that Chang’e 1, a thing of more than 200 tons, is just to send a Yutu 1 to the moon, right?
This is totally a loss-making business!
The Legion and Gongshuzi on Chang'e 1 didn't know that a group of people were worried about him. At this time, Chang'e 1 also began to land like the previous landing module, and it landed in an almost hard landing.
In the Procellarum region of the moon, the huge fuselage of Chang'e-1 slowly lowered its height, and the front and rear engines began to adjust the flame injection angle. In order to better resist the moon's gravity, the landing gear under the fuselage has been lowered. , a dozen huge tires were stretched out.
When the tires were about to make contact with the ground, Legion completely shut down the engine.
Boom——
There was a huge noise. Compared with the landing module that landed steadily, Chang'e-1 felt very bumpy. Fortunately, neither Legion nor Gongshuzi were carbon-based creatures, otherwise their internal organs would be shattered by this moment.
At this moment, Chang'e-1 finally landed. Well, it was not very successful. It could only be regarded as passing.
It would be nonsense to expect that there would be no problems at all for such a behemoth to land on such a "dirt road" that has not been smoothed. However, this is also in the calculations of the Legion and the Ascension Space Launch Center, as long as there are no problems with important parts. .
With a click, the hatch rose, and a one-meter-eight-meter-tall robot walked out of the hatch. A layer of metal skin was attached to its entire body, completely hiding all its joints.
A metallic foot stepped onto the soft ground. At this moment, the core robot controlled by the legion finally revealed its true face.
This is roughly the same body layout as the group of Luo Tianyi in Siberia, except that the head is removed and three pairs of arms are added. It looks very weird, but it is very satisfactory to the legion. After all, the number of arms determines his work efficiency, and he doesn’t need such a thing as a brain.
At this moment, his mission has just begun.
"Chang'e-1 has been inspected and the damage level is 12%...
Report damage to Ascension Space Launch Center. . .
The energy systems of the five thorium-based molten salt reactors were not damaged due to perfect protection measures. . .
The landing gear was severely damaged. . .
23% of the photovoltaic power generation equipment was damaged, and the remaining 76,531 square meters of photovoltaic power generation panels can work normally. . .
Three construction vehicles were damaged, but seven are still usable. . .
The parts of the 'Technician' level humanoid robot were not damaged due to perfect protection measures. . .
The reserve chips of each model are not damaged due to complete protection measures. . .
All types of production equipment parts were not damaged due to complete protective measures. . .
Send mission request to commander. . . "
At this time, another robot came out of Chang'e-1. Compared with the Legion, it was thinner. It was 1.7 meters tall, had no head, and also had four pairs of arms.
"Command center, command center, this is Gongshuzi. I have left the warehouse and feel good.
Request that construction of the Moon Palace base begin now. "
Six seconds later, both Gongshuzi and Legion received a message.
"It is agreed that the construction of the Moon Palace Base will begin now."
