Zhang Heng glanced at Armstrong next to him out of the corner of his eye, and found that the latter was looking at the deep valley in front of him with all his concentration. He seemed not to have noticed the sudden voice in the communication channel, and on the other side was the ground control center in Houston. , and there was no reaction that the line was invaded.
Zhang Heng realized that this sound was probably only heard by himself.
"You need to make a choice. You only have 19 seconds of fuel left." The voice reminded.
Zhang Heng looked down again. The ground there was very rugged and not suitable for landing. However, the deep valley opposite looked equally dangerous, and Zhang Heng didn't know what was behind the deep valley and whether it was still ups and downs.
If he didn't know the exact remaining amount of fuel, he would be more inclined to take a gamble here. However, now with the prompt from the mysterious voice, Zhang Heng finally made up his mind and controlled the lunar rover to fly towards the deep valley.
"A very brave choice. You have 13 seconds of fuel left and are 640 feet above the ground."
The voice in the communication channel continued, and at the same time told him all the parameter data Zhang Heng needed most, allowing Zhang Heng to regain control of the current situation of the Eagle after losing the instrument panel.
The lunar module was getting closer and closer to the chasm. Anyone else would probably question Zhang Heng's decision at this time. However, Commander Armstrong remained silent. He decided to trust the pilot's judgment.
The program alarm sounded again, the red alarm light flashed, and the rapid alarm sound was particularly harsh. Armstrong simply turned off all alarm systems to prevent Zhang Heng from being disturbed again.
The altitude of the lunar module is gradually decreasing, and they are now above the huge valley. Looking down from here, they can only see a darkness, like a huge mouth, waiting to eat.
"...7 seconds fuel remaining, 315 feet above ground level."
Because there was not much fuel, Zhang Heng did not ignite continuously, but chose to ignite once after gliding for a certain distance. The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth that of the earth. Even if there is not enough power, the Eagle will not fall immediately.
But now they were getting closer and closer to the deep valley at their feet. Fortunately, with 5 seconds of fuel left, Zhang Heng finally saw the other side of the deep valley. From here, the terrain there was very flat, making it an excellent place to land.
So now it's just a matter of whether they have enough fuel to get there.
Zhang Heng made a visual inspection and found that they were still about 1.7 kilometers away from there. At the current speed, it would take another minute and a half, and their height from the ground was already less than 50 feet. They were basically close to the rock wall of the deep valley. Even.
Zhang Heng had to spend another two seconds of precious fuel to increase the taxiing height of the lunar module.
He needed the remaining fuel to adjust his attitude and slow down during landing, so this was almost the last fuel he could use.
The lunar module glided silently over the deep valley, like a shadow.
"32 feet..."
Zhang Heng's hand holding the joystick was also a little cold. In the end, the lunar module almost touched the opposite rock wall and flew across the deep valley.
The distance between the lunar module and the ground was less than 15 feet. Zhang Heng could not be happy about this and controlled the lunar module to drift forward a short distance, and then immediately entered the landing procedure.
When he used up the last second of fuel, the Eagle's four load-bearing legs landed steadily on the moon's surface.
"Houston, this is Tranquility Base, and the Eagle has landed safely." Armstrong said to the communicator, his voice barely changing.
There was a burst of cheers from the ground control center in Houston, and everyone was frantically waving everything they could get their hands on.
They had every reason to be excited, because this was the first time in human history that someone had successfully landed on the moon!
NASA has paid so much for this day. The doubts and pressure from the outside world = a race against time. When this moment really comes, everyone has a feeling of tears in their eyes.
Zhang Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that this was just a game, he still had a strong feeling of being in history at this moment.
"Congratulations, a perfect landing, you can score 10 points." The voice in the communicator said, "I will soon enter my favorite part. Neil Armstrong next to you will tell me my favorite part. My favorite sentence, even if placed in the entire history of mankind, this is still one of my favorite fragments.
"It's unbelievable, isn't it? Until 500 years ago, most people believed that the earth was flat, and now you are standing here, on the moon 300,000 kilometers away, with no oxygen here, but relying on your body You can still breathe in the space suit. Science and technology have changed everyone’s lifestyle and even cognition. Although some people still believe that the earth is flat. They held a party in North Carolina not long ago, but this is not important. The brain is a good thing, and you can’t expect everyone to have it…The point is, technology is really great, isn’t it?”
"Who are you?" Zhang Heng frowned, "Our encounter in Area 51 was not an accident, right? Why can you enter our copy? Are you a player? What is the purpose of finding me?"
From the first words spoken by that voice, Zhang Heng recognized that the other person was the guy he met before who called himself Einstein. This also explained why the Bluetooth headset he gave to Zhang Heng suddenly turned on by itself. .
Zhang Heng didn't know Einstein's origin and identity. However, judging from the situation when the two met for the first time, at least the other party did not have any ill intentions towards him. And this time Einstein also gave him the same kindness during the moon landing. He helped a lot.
The latter just smiled when he heard this, "Times have changed. Four hundred years ago, they could burn Giordano Bruno to death to prevent him from spreading heliocentric theory everywhere, but now our time has come, those old guys They are becoming weaker and weaker every day. They are not willing to be forgotten by the times, and they also want to use this game to regain their past glory, but we all know that this is just a lie they use to numb themselves.
"They have already lost, and they were completely defeated. As far as I know, some of them are now even worse than a dog. It's sad. They should have killed themselves hundreds of years ago. Maybe they can still survive. Decent - natural selection, survival of the fittest, Darwin has long said that victory always belongs to the late comers, so my suggestion is, choose your camp carefully, you don’t want to board a road that is leaking everywhere Titanic, there may be lice under the gorgeous robe. I like you. If nothing else happens, we will meet again. Finally, enjoy this victory. Not everyone can stand with Armstrong. On the moon."
