parallel world.
"Good evening, dear viewers, I am the host Du Dan. This is 18:26 on September 21, 2028, Xiadu time. In one hour, our White Rabbit 9 manned spacecraft will land on the back of the moon. time……"
"The three astronauts have made preparations for landing. This will be our country's first manned landing on the moon. Lock the live broadcast room so that all of us can witness this historic moment together..."
The manned moon landing is a milestone node that has attracted the attention of people across the country.
Elderly people sit in front of the TV and never take their eyes away.
Young people are holding their mobile phones, watching live broadcasts on the Internet, and reading comments at the same time.
"What do you think they should do if they don't find the flag of the Indian state after they go to the moon?!"
"... Miyinbang landed on the front side of the moon back then. This time we landed on the back side of the moon. This is an area that no human has ever set foot on..."
Daxia's manned moon landing symbolizes mankind's next step into the universe. Not only the people of this country are paying attention, but people from all over the world are also watching the live broadcast.
Miyinbang’s Internet is also full of comments.
"The Daxia manned moon landing plan will definitely fail. After all, even we failed four years ago, how could they succeed?!"
"According to me, their current live broadcast was probably shot in a video studio..."
An hour flies by.
With the attention of people around the world, White Rabbit 9 successfully landed on the lunar surface with the landing module.
"Success!!!"
"At 19:29:33 on September 21, 2028, let us remember this moment..."
The whole country cheered.
Even people from other countries were filled with emotion when they saw this scene.
"I smashed a hole. Did you see it? There is a hole under the support of the spaceship. This is different from when Miyinbang landed..."
"Let me just say that Mi Yinbang filmed it in a video studio..."
"Hey, now let's talk about who is real and who is fake?!"
Netizens were very excited.
The host's voice also had a hint of trembling, "Friends from the audience, our astronaut heroes, they are about to step off the spacecraft..."
In the picture, three astronauts were dressed neatly, standing at the door of the cabin, waving to the camera, and slowly turning the door.
"Click~~!"
The hatch opened, and just when everyone's eyes widened, they wanted to follow the astronaut's lens and take a look at the surface of the moon.
The live broadcast is interrupted!
"The live broadcast, why is it gone?!"
"What's going on?!!"
Netizens are furious. There is no content at the critical moment. Who can bear this?
After waiting for a few seconds, the screen continued. Host Du Dan sat upright and reported: "Viewers, due to interference from cosmic electromagnetic waves, our live broadcast signal has been interrupted..."
"Now, let us relive the exciting moment when White Rabbit 1 entered the lunar orbit..."
The host's impassioned voice remained the same, but the screen in the live broadcast room changed to the record of White Rabbit 1 flying over the moon for the first time more than ten years ago.
"The signal between the moon and the earth is delayed by a few seconds. Do you think it's possible that they captured something that they can't show us?"
"Damn it, we can't really take photos of aliens, can we?!"
Netizens felt that there must be something fishy behind this, and maybe something confidential had been captured, so the authorities deliberately disconnected the connection.
But at Daxia Space Agency, all staff are very nervous at the moment.
"White Rabbit No. 9, this is the Earth. If you hear me, please answer! If you hear me, please answer!"
After calling for many times in a row, only a rustling sound came out, and no one responded.
"General Engineer Yang, there is no news!!" a communications staff member reported anxiously.
Chief Engineer Yang frowned and said quickly: "Switch to the X-band and transmit the signal!"
"yes!"
The technicians in the operations team quickly began switching communication methods.
"Beep~beep~beep~" Multiple sets of radio waves were emitted in succession, but no other sounds appeared on the screen.
"White Rabbit No. 9 did not respond!"
Chief Engineer Yang had an ominous premonition in his heart and quickly asked: "Is it possible that it encountered low temperatures and used 64QAM modulation to transmit low-rate signals?"
This is a set of transmission signal equipment designed to cope with the low temperature of the lunar night. The peak rate is limited and only simple communication can be carried out.
The operation team took action again, and after some operations.
"Dip~dip~dip~"
"Still no response..."
Chief Engineer Yang frowned. This was the first time he encountered this situation.
The assistant on the side was also worried. He rolled his eyes and said quickly: "General Manager Yang, how about letting Yue-Queqiao No. 3 contact White Rabbit No. 9?"
"Then switch to No. 3!"
This time, the lunar landing site was chosen on the back side of the moon. Communications from the earth cannot be directly contacted and can only be relayed through satellites on the moon.
For this moon landing plan, the space agency specially selected the date to ensure that at least two communication satellites could maintain contact with White Rabbit 9 at the same time.
Yue-Queqiao 3 is an alternative satellite that is far away from the landing site. After a burst of operations by technicians, another set of signals was quickly launched.
"Dip~dip~dip~"
The stable frequency made everyone present feel anxious.
"what on earth is it?!"
Chief Engineer Yang quickly looked at the senior technical team members and asked about the situation.
"There are many possibilities for signal obstruction, but we have calculated in advance that there will be no electromagnetic interference from neutron stars at the landing site..."
"If the astronauts didn't turn off the communication on their own initiative, then there was an accident in the landing module..."
Chief Engineer Yang narrowed his eyes. After thinking of this possibility, he quickly said: "Using UHF ultra-high frequency 415MHz to transmit signals..."
"Dip~dip~dip~"
The same sound sounded again, but this time, the entire space agency was completely silent.
Shock was written on everyone's face.
After a long while, Chief Engineer Yang looked at the operating team and said angrily: "I asked you to use UHF to transmit signals, didn't you hear it?!"
The staff of the operation team carefully checked the equipment before stammering: "Mr. Yang, we sent it correctly, we just sent it using UHF..."
The UHF of the White Rabbit uses a 5dBi antenna and only has an uplink channel. Although it cannot be used for conventional communication, it is a technical means that can verify whether the equipment is intact.
"What happened to the landing module?!"
"It won't explode, right?!"
The signal could not be transmitted, and no one knew what happened to the landing module.
Chief Engineer Yang took a deep breath. He had not forgotten that the whole country and even the whole world were watching this moon landing.
"How long will it take for the nearest detection satellite to observe the moon landing site?!"
"The closest one will arrive in half an hour. That time was originally planned for the astronauts to raise their heads and say hello to the people across the country..."
"This was originally a very interesting link. The Earth - exploration satellite - communication satellite - White Rabbit - astronauts, the extended directions just formed a five-pointed star, but now... I just hope they are still alive!"
