Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Time soon came to 12:30 in the afternoon. The five astronauts, wearing space suits and helmets, walked into the aerospace airport. As they walked, they waved to the crowd and the camera, which triggered cheers and applause at the scene. In order to increase the live broadcast effect and respond to the enthusiasm of the audience, a special astronaut speech session was arranged before boarding. Xie Duanyang, the commander of this moon landing trip, expressed his views on behalf of the five astronauts.

Speaking of Xie Duanyang, his resume is also legendary. Xie Duanyang was one of the first batch of astronauts trained by the government. He had excellent physical fitness, top theoretical knowledge, and first-class operation level. During his time in the astronaut corps, he had served as a backup astronaut for the Shenzhou series of spacecraft many times. However, he was always unlucky and never became a formal astronaut and entered space on the Shenzhou spacecraft. Later, the second and third generations of astronauts rose rapidly, and Xie Duanyang gradually got older, and it was not even his turn to serve as a backup astronaut.

I thought I would miss the chance to go into space in this life. Who would have thought that the turning point of fate would come unexpectedly. This year, Ruida Aerospace Company was established, launched the manned space program, and began to recruit astronauts. Seeing that there was no hope of entering space, Xie Duanyang decisively resigned from the astronaut corps and went to Ruida Aerospace Company to apply for a job, becoming the first official astronaut of Ruida Aerospace, numbered 001. After the successful development of the space plane of Ruida Aerospace Company, Xie Duanyang drove the space plane into space for the first time. His long-cherished wish came true in one day, and he was really full of emotion.

After that, Xie Duanyang flew space planes into space many times to carry out tasks such as satellite launch, space station construction, and material transportation. This time, Ruida Aerospace cooperated with the national team to carry out manned lunar landing. The first batch of five astronauts included three from Ruida Aerospace Company and two from the official astronaut brigade. In order to deepen mutual understanding and facilitate cooperation between the two sides, the selection of the commander is quite critical. Xie Duanyang, who had been in the official astronaut brigade for many years and personally trained many astronauts from Ruida Aerospace, is undoubtedly the best candidate for the commander of this manned lunar landing project.

Facing the cameras from many media outlets across the country and even around the world, the middle-aged Xie Duanyang remained calm and spoke steadily and forcefully, "Dear audience, dear netizens, dear journalist friends, good afternoon! I am Xie Duanyang, the commander of this manned lunar landing project. On behalf of all the astronauts on this trip, I swear to drive carefully and work hard..."

Time is precious. Xie Duanyang's speech lasted only five minutes before it ended. The audience burst into warm applause again. Then the astronauts and ground crew handed over the space shuttle. Xie Duanyang led all the astronauts to board the Chang'e space shuttle along the gangway. The ground crew removed the gangway and cleared all items around the space shuttle, preparing for takeoff.

At 1 p.m., Xie Duanyang sent a takeoff request to the flight control center. "Calling the flight control center, calling the flight control center, this is the Chang'e space shuttle. I have made all the preparations and applied for takeoff."

"The flight control center has received the news. The weather in the airspace near Ruida Aerospace City is good. The wind speed is level 3, which meets the requirements. We have permission to take off!"

After receiving the reply, Xie Duanyang immediately started the anti-gravity engine, gradually increasing the thrust, and exceeding a certain threshold. The take-off weight of the aerospace plane reached hundreds of tons and flew up silently. The second-generation anti-gravity engine has been comprehensively improved in structure and function. The tail flame is almost invisible when starting, and the annoying noise is removed, and the efficiency of power conversion has been greatly improved. Of course, any change has its two sides. After the second-generation anti-gravity engine was replaced, the moon-landing aerospace plane took off silently, lacking some of the big rockets and high-power engines, and the earth-shaking momentum when starting, which is a bit worse in appearance.

After an hour of warm-up, the number of online viewers in the official live broadcast room of Ruida Aerospace officially exceeded 30 million. In order to improve everyone's viewing experience and avoid lag, the staff has limited the barrage. Ordinary viewers can send one barrage or one message every ten minutes, and VIP users are slightly better, with one message every five minutes. Despite this, every time the live broadcast reaches a critical moment, dense barrages pop up all at once, almost covering the entire live broadcast screen.

"The take-off process of this space plane is so smooth. It weighs hundreds of tons and it flies up so smoothly. If you don't know, you might think it's an inflatable model."

"There was no gushing tail flame, no water vapor in the sky, and no deafening engine noise. The takeoff of Chang'e was too trifling and the viewing experience was extremely poor."

"The second-generation anti-gravity engine looks like this when it takes off. There is no noise, no tail flame, and everything is silent. Isn't that great? Look at how calm and elegant the Chang'e takes off. The heavy-lift launch vehicles in the past could not do this with such ease."

"I was thinking, if we replace our 20 Ji with this kind of anti-gravity engine, can we take off and land vertically and directly board an aircraft carrier?"

"I remember seeing a photo of a Type 20 equipped with a first-generation anti-gravity engine on the Internet. It can take off and land vertically, hover, and cruise like a toy. I wonder if it's in service with the troops now?"

"The 20 Ji equipped with anti-gravity engines can not only board aircraft carriers, but also amphibious assault ships. All carrier-based aircraft are stealth and heavy. The combat power is unimaginable."

"Who knows how long it will take Chang'e to reach the moon? I can't wait any longer."

"This time, the Chang'e spacecraft has sufficient power and adopts a direct flight plan, which will reach the vicinity of the moon in about 48 hours. This saves at least 24 hours compared to the Apollo series of spacecraft that circled the earth several times to accelerate, then entered the earth-moon transfer orbit and headed for the moon." "Today, there are a lot of white clouds in the airspace near Ruida Space City. Chang'e flew into the white clouds so quickly that ground cameras could not capture it."

"Don't worry. If you can't take photos from the ground, you can still use the drone's perspective. If you can't take photos from the drone, you can still use the onboard camera's first-person perspective. If that doesn't work, don't we have the animation demonstration to show the flight status of the aerospace plane? That's enough."

Unlike launch vehicles, it takes a much longer time for aerospace planes to enter space, and Chang'e is no exception. Xie Duanyang piloted Chang'e and flew quickly for an hour before breaking through the atmosphere, getting rid of gravity, and entering space. After the auxiliary engine was turned on and the orbit was corrected, Chang'e directly entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit, with five engines fully fired and flew to the moon at full speed.

When Chang'e successfully entered space and began to fly to the moon, hundreds of people in the flight control center stood up and gave warm applause. Whether they were from Ruida Aerospace or the official manned spaceflight office, they were no longer differentiated from each other. Everyone hugged, applauded, and cheered, and the scene became a sea of ​​joy.

The takeoff and space phase has passed, and the next step is the long moon-flight phase, which lasts up to 48 hours. During this period, the official live broadcast room will be open all the time, showing some beautiful space scenes taken by Chang'e, or demonstration animations of Chang'e flying to the moon. As time went on, the number of people online in the live broadcast room dropped rapidly, from 200 million at its peak, to million, million, and by midnight, the number had dropped to million. When the sun rises and a new day arrives, the number of people online in the live broadcast room gradually rises back to around million. During the two days of flying to the moon, the popularity of the live broadcast room has remained at a high level, firmly occupying the first place on the live broadcast popularity list of the Kuaipai platform.

In comparison, TV stations have much more precious time and cannot broadcast live all the time. On the day Chang'e took off, CCTV-1 broadcast live for seven hours, and ended the live broadcast after Chang'e entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. CCTV-10 broadcast live for a longer time, a full ten hours, and there were some interviews at the end, which were also related to the manned lunar mission. The next live broadcast will be the day when Chang'e lands on the moon.

Under the expectation of all, two days passed quickly. The Chang'e space shuttle has approached the moon and successfully entered the lunar orbit. The next step is naturally the moon landing, which is also the most critical link of manned lunar landing. Success or failure depends on this one move. The live broadcast of CCTV-1 and CCTV-10 was opened again. The number of online users in the official live broadcast room of Ruida Aerospace has soared again, even breaking the previous high and reaching 40 million. In addition to domestic netizens, there are also some foreign netizens watching the live broadcast this time, which can be seen from the English or Russian barrage that pops up from time to time in the live broadcast room.

At 10 a.m., the moon landing process started, and the auxiliary engine was turned on to slow down Chang'e and adjust its flight attitude and direction. As a result, Chang'e's flight speed continued to decrease, and its altitude from the lunar surface also continued to decrease. The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth, and there is no atmosphere, so Chang'e's moon landing process is actually safer than landing on the earth.

In CCTV's live broadcast room, the host and invited experts are introducing the location of the moon landing:
"Like the Earth, the Moon also has a South Pole, and the terrain is also complex and the environment is harsh. So why did we choose the South Pole as the landing point for manned lunar landing?"

"There are some highlands at the lunar south pole with very good lighting conditions. They may be covered by sunlight for 70 to 80 percent of the year. We call them Everday Peaks. These places are very conducive to scientific exploration. Another benefit is that there are some permanent shadow pits in the lunar south pole. There is no sunlight in these permanent shadow pits all year round. Scientists believe that there may be water ice in these places. For this reason, the lunar south pole is a very valuable and attractive lunar landing target. It can provide humans with more scientific knowledge and exploration opportunities, as well as resources and energy. Therefore, countries around the world have set their sights on this new "golden zone" and tried to gain the upper hand and advantage in this field."

"Now all countries in the world regard the South Pole of the Moon as a focal area for exploration. According to our understanding, in the future, there will be multiple missions from many countries such as the United States, the island country, the big goose, and India that will land in the South Pole area. Therefore, it can be said that the South Pole of the Moon will become more and more crowded, and more and more exploration modules will be working in this place."

"The landing site of the Chang'e space shuttle is in the Aitken Basin, the largest basin in the lunar south pole. The early exploration by the Kaituo probe has proven that there is a large amount of water ice at the bottom of the Aitken Basin, which is very suitable as the construction site for China's first lunar base, and also the first lunar base for mankind."

"You just said that there are many permanently shadowed craters in the south pole of the moon. The Aitken Basin is located in the permanently shadowed area due to the terrain. The sun is invisible here all year round and the temperature is very low. Conventional solar power generation facilities cannot be used. So how can astronauts solve the energy problem when they stay in the lunar base for a long time after landing on the moon?"

"Our space shuttle is powered by three Ark reactors. The lunar base that has been initially built is currently powered by a large nuclear battery, which may be replaced by a small fusion power station in the future. The Ark reactor is a micro fusion reactor developed by Reda Technology. It uses cold fusion technology, which is quite advanced and safe. It is now widely used in space shuttles, commercial space stations, and flying cars. The only drawback of the Ark reactor is that it is expensive and not suitable for large-scale popularization.

A nuclear battery is a device that uses the huge heat generated by the decay of isotopes to directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. It is also called a radioactive isotope battery. Isotopes that can be used as nuclear batteries generally have strong radioactivity, so nuclear batteries have certain safety risks and cannot be used in daily scenarios. In the field of aerospace, the application of nuclear batteries has a long history and is very common. For example, the Voyager 1 probe launched by the United States in the last century, and the Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers launched a few years ago, all use nuclear batteries for power supply. "

Half an hour later, Chang'e had arrived above the lunar South Pole. Its relative speed with the lunar surface had been reduced to zero. It was only with the anti-gravity engine that it was able to overcome the lunar gravity and hover over the Aitken Basin, making the final adjustment to its landing point. The Chang'e spacecraft's ground detection camera clearly captured detailed ground images of the Aitken Basin, which were transmitted back to Earth via satellite communication links and presented to hundreds of millions of viewers. A huge shadow almost covered the entire basin. (End of this chapter)
