The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 351: Elope with Chang'e and officially land on the moon

In May 1969, at the Astronaut Training Center in the suburbs of Beijing, today was the day for astronaut selection. Many pilots from major military regions across the country gathered here.

For example, Gong Jicai, Shen Guanmian, Chu Guangliang, Li Shengming, Feng Changfu, Yin Zhongyu, Li Minwei, Zhang Han, Pan Qianjin and Guan Xiuyu all came.

As pilots of the JY9 fighter, there is no doubt that they are all very good pilots.

However, when they come here to participate in the selection, they are not 100% sure to be selected, just because the selection requirements for astronauts are too high.

In particular, they have extremely high tolerance and pressure resistance to the space environment, and astronauts also need to have profound knowledge and superb skills.

In short, no matter which ace pilot he is, he has no confidence in winning and can pass this selection.

"What a pervert"

Yin Zhongshou followed the troops and walked into the astronaut training center. When he saw all the items for astronaut selection, he couldn't help but gasped.

"Nonsense, before we just flew into the sky, but now we want to go to heaven, can it be the same?"

Feng Changfu rolled his eyes and changed his voice:

"But let's not talk about it yet. With such strict selection conditions, it seems that I won't be able to pass."

For a poor student, Feng Changfu knew that he wanted to pass the selection test and had almost no ideas.

Gong Jicai, Chu Guangliang, and Pan Jinjin were also discussing separately, and the wonder and awe in their eyes were reflected in the conversation.

"Everyone gather!"

The head of the astronaut training center is the newcomer Xuan Yuanlun. He joined the army late and only made some achievements in the Liberation War and the Peninsula battlefield.

However, he performed very well in the subsequent Nishiyama Pass War, especially his talent in learning new drone tactics.

Since he absorbed new knowledge relatively quickly, Xuan Yuanlun was called over to participate in all the new weapons that came out.

In the recent selection of the head of the astronaut training center, he was also recommended by his leader, and after some assessment, he was finally selected.

As the person in charge, he is already familiar with the entire training process.

And now it is necessary to select 30 people from these thousands of pilots as official astronauts, and 50 people as alternate astronauts.

Yes, astronaut candidate.

Logically speaking, thirty people are enough. After all, two to three years of training among these thirty people is enough to select one to three astronauts who can go to space.

However, Chen Guohua is very clear that the future is the space era, and the demand for astronauts will naturally not decrease.

Therefore, from the beginning, Chen Guohua formulated a relatively rigorous astronaut training plan and subsequent training plan.

He even put forward opinions on the pilot training plan: one is to expand the scale of pilots, and the other is to ensure the quality of pilots.

Only when the pilot base is large enough can enough outstanding astronauts be selected from it.

In fact, there is no shortage of outstanding talents such as military kings in the army, but the requirements for astronauts are all-round and blind. The best and most suitable astronauts must be selected from the most elite team of pilots, not from the military. Choose among kings.

Many military kings are only very strong in one or a few of their skills, but they are not powerful in all aspects. Soldier kings also have shortcomings, and astronauts cannot have shortcomings.

After Xuan Yuanlun explained the general selection process, with an order, the selection officially began.

The entire selection process lasts for one and a half months, because it requires not only various written examinations, but also physical examinations and other assessments.

Although these pilots had already gone through some tests before becoming pilots, they had to do it all over again now.

The most troublesome written test for Feng Changfu was said to be failed, but in fact he was very serious when answering, and most of the many answers on the answer sheet were correct.

This shows that he is usually very serious.

After all, as the test pilot and pilot of the Yaoyao-9, he had had several contacts with Chen Guohua a few years ago, and had been given advice by the latter several times.

In fact, not only Feng Changfu, but also Gong Jicai and other J-65 fighter pilots and H- bomber pilots were basically mentioned by Chen Guohua.

Therefore, the selection process for these pilots was actually quite easy.

On the other hand, the other pilots were relatively nervous.

There are also many outstanding pilots who have just become pilots. They are also in the examination room, scratching their heads and thinking hard.

Before the establishment of the Yaoyao-9 fighter jet project, only about 1,000 mainland pilots died.

However, after the fighter jet project was established, under Chen Guohua's suggestion, the scale and number of pilots selected were expanded a lot.

In 1962, the Yaoyao-9 fighter project was initiated, and it was from this time that the pilot team began to expand.

It is now 1969. After seven years, the pilot team has become extremely large.

Therefore, most pilots who meet the requirements are recommended to come to the astronaut training center in Beijing to participate in the selection.

This time, there were thousands of pilots, which was completely beyond Chen Guohua's expectation.

However, the more people who come, the better.

In addition to the written examination items, you also need to participate in basic physical examination and clinical medicine selection, as well as psychological function selection, special endurance test, etc.

Although no one failed in the basic physical examination, some people were kicked out of the selection team in the clinical medicine selection.

The entire clinical medicine selection process lasts for one month, which is also the longest project in the entire selection process.

All pilots participating in the selection are required to undergo a detailed examination of all parts of the body and organs to see if there are any problems.

Regarding this, we have to thank Chen Guohua for his foresight.

If it weren't for him, Zhenhua Research Institute would not have developed such relevant medical equipment. Without so many auxiliary medical equipment, it might be a bit troublesome to conduct various examinations now.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not a panacea, and it all depends on the doctor’s own subjective judgment, which may not be accurate.

After all, Chinese medicine practitioners are human beings and may be biased.

However, this kind of favoritism is very difficult for others to detect except the doctor himself.

But medical equipment is completely different. This thing is real data and cannot be deceived.

What's more important is that all tests are recorded. If someone is showing favoritism, if a problem occurs during the entire training process, it is bound to trace the source and find the initiator.

The selection of astronauts is related to the national space station project. This is a super project. Not only do many people pay attention to it, but the leaders above often ask about it.

Therefore, if anyone is found to be showing favoritism in this matter, the consequences will be disastrous.

Kang Jimin has been undergoing examinations in the hospital for more than half a month, and he doesn't know whether he has passed the examination or not.

Anyway, there were originally eight other pilots living in the same dormitory with him, but now there are only four left.

It can almost be said that the clinical medicine selection project is the project that eliminates the most people, no one.

"Hey, where is Zhang Xiru? Why didn't he come back today?"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Kang Jimin found that there was another person missing in the dormitory, and he was suddenly surprised.

In fact, four people had already left. Logically speaking, Kang Jimin's reaction should be relatively calm.

But looking at the empty dormitory, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.

"He was traced by the authorities today. His grandfather died of a genetic disease such as cardiovascular disease. Although he himself was not found to have such a disease, he was also judged to have failed the assessment."

Wang Jiqiang, who was sitting on the corner of the bed, said something that immediately made Kang Jimin feel cold in his heart.

Good guy, is this too strict?
Just because Zhang Xiru’s grandfather has a genetic disease like cardiovascular disease, he is not even qualified to participate in subsequent selections?

It’s so perverted!

Ning Shuping on the other side also sighed:
"It's such a pity for Zhang Xiru. His other projects are very good. You don't know that he has a very high IQ and an excellent learning ability. He is still a college graduate in 1961. It's a pity that he You can’t even pass this test.”

The three people in the dormitory sighed almost at the same time.

However, the three of them just chatted briefly and immediately began to prepare for the subsequent selection.

In the next bedroom, Feng Changfu was also chatting with Gong Jicai.

"Lao Gong, now that Lao Li and Lao Zhang have been cleared, we are the only ones left in this dormitory. You have to hold on. I feel like I won't be able to pass tomorrow's test, you know?"

Feng Changfu complained about today's test to track down hereditary diseases. Many people were kicked out of the team because of this.

Needless to say, in this era it is difficult to find some information from the past, and transportation is not very convenient, so it is very difficult to investigate.

However, no matter how difficult it is, nothing can stop those who are determined.

So if you want to investigate clearly, you just need to spend time.

The selection of thousands of people has targeted pilots from various regions from the very beginning. Each pilot will have several teams to go to the pilot's hometown, school, old unit and other places to investigate everything about the pilot's past.

For example, right now, when Feng Changfu was chatting, a team of ten people rushed to his hometown far away.

In addition to the folks in his hometown, as well as primary school teachers, middle school teachers, etc., almost everyone who has had contact with Feng Changfu will be questioned one by one and investigated thoroughly.

At the intelligence organization office at the entrance of the village, several women and young men gathered together to chat. They were all complaining about the ten-man team that had recently come to question Feng Changfu.

"Old Feng's family is really miserable. Didn't the young rich man become a pilot? Why do we need to go through a political review now?"

"Who knows if he has committed a crime? It's not like you don't know, but the trouble was very fierce in the past two years."

"I guess he must have been a deserter. Otherwise, why would I ask such detailed questions? Yesterday, they asked me about some things about Feng Changfu's grandparents in the past. They specifically asked about inheritance or diseases. Anyway, it was nothing. The good thing I have to say is that Feng Changfu got exposed."

Three women in one drama, let alone more than three women here?
"Aunt Zhang, you're talking nonsense. Brother Feng didn't just expose something. I heard it was about astronaut selection."

"Ermatai, what do you know? Do you know what an astronaut is?"

Just when Aunt Zhang was about to use her authority as an adult to put pressure on Ermatai, at this time, several comrades came from a distance.

They are all team members who came to investigate Feng Changfu's past history.

Seeing them coming, Aunt Zhang and others immediately fell silent.

On the other hand, these comrades, after coming here, talked with Aunt Zhang and others about what it means to be an astronaut.

After they left, Aunt Zhang, Er Mitai and the other villagers were all in a panic.

Good guy, Feng Changfu used to fly a plane and soar in the sky, but now he wants to fly a rocket into space?
Everyone doesn’t know what space is, but the comrade just said that it is a place higher than the sky.

And it is possible to go to the moon in the future.

hiss!
The old Feng family is going to have a 'god'.

Although these superstitions are no longer talked about, the news that Feng Changfu was going to the moon soon spread in the village.

Not only Feng Changfu, but also Kang Jimin, Ning Shuping, Wang Jiqiang and others, their hometowns have already spread rumors that they want to go to heaven and run away to the moon to elope with Chang'e.

It’s simply outrageous to open the door for outrageous things. It’s so outrageous.

However, people like Kang Jimin and others came from rural areas. Many farmers in this era were almost illiterate.

Although there were several literacy education programs in the 1950s, the effect was limited to that time. Later, many farmers returned all the dozens or hundreds of words they had learned to their teachers.

Therefore, at this time, many farmers spread the outrageous rumor that Kang Jimin and the others were going to the moon to elope with Chang'e.

If Kang Jimin and the others knew that in the eyes of their hometown people, they were already men who could fly to heaven and the moon, how would they feel?

Of course, they are still participating in the selection. They will be anxious every day when they are free. They also need to prepare for the subsequent selection. They are also very busy and have no time to think about other things.

Soon, the clinical medicine selection project finally came to an end.

A whole month was simply too long to be imagined.

Then came other selection events, and at the end there was a special endurance selection, which made Kang Jimin and Feng Changfu even more ecstatic.

Through examination at this stage, people with organ diseases or dysfunctions can be excluded, people with mental and intellectual deficiencies can be found, and people with poor endurance and over-sensitivity to special factors can be found.

After passing all the selection tests, eighty people including Kang Jimin, Feng Changfu, Ning Shuping, Wang Jiqiang, Yin Zhongshou, and Pan Qianjin passed.

Since only eighty men were needed in total, all the others were sent home.

Judging from the results, the passing rate of JY9 fighter pilots is still very high.

"Congratulations on passing the selection test. You passed the selection, which means you are stronger than other pilots."

Standing in front of Kang Jimin and the other astronaut reservists, when Xuan Yuanlun spoke, he used the clichéd words in the army.

But these clichéd words are inexplicably comforting.

"However, don't be too happy. Passing the selection is just the beginning of your nightmare. Next, you will need to undergo high-intensity training in multiple projects, which you have never had before when you were a pilot."

"Actually, it stands to reason that as you are the first batch of students at the Astronaut Training Center, I shouldn't tell you this at such a happy moment, but our time is very tight and our mission is very, very important, so everything is kept simple. , we need to spend more time on training projects.”

"Next, you will know your training schedule and training projects. Here, there is no distinction between men and women. Everyone has the same requirements."

"So, the five female pilots in the team, you must be mentally prepared."

The five female pilots Guan Xiuyu, Li Funing, Xin Yue, Yao Xueling and Wu Xin who were named suddenly felt their hearts tightening.

Although they are both strong women, they already behaved like male pilots before becoming pilots.

However, now that he is an astronaut, his status is different and his requirements are also very different.

Of course, they were nervous inside, but on the surface, their faces remained normal and they didn't show it.

In terms of psychological quality, they are not much different from male astronauts like Kang Jimin.

In fact, every reserve astronaut who can stand here is an extremely powerful pilot, and his psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people.

After beating Yao Xueling and the other five, Xuan Yuanlun began to read out the next arrangements.

When Kang Jimin and Guan Xiuyu learned about the required training items and the training time of two and a half years, the expressions of all the reserve astronauts changed.

Weightless training, aircraft flight training, overweight training, physical training, basic theoretical training, centrifuge training, blood redistribution, swivel chair training, emergency life-saving training, space science experiment training, etc.

Either you have heard of all the training items, or you have never heard of them at all, but no matter which one, the requirements are very abnormal.

In short, this is not a training that ordinary people can successfully complete.

A total of eighty reserve astronauts still need to work hard in the following training.

Because after two and a half years, the astronauts who can actually go to space will be selected from these 80 people. As for the other reserve personnel who have not been selected, they will not retire.

Anyway, once you enter the astronaut training center, unless you encounter any special circumstances, you will basically stay in this unit.

Two and a half years of training, it was a devilish life.

Almost everyone felt nervous. They were looking forward to and excited about the future training life, but also afraid and nervous. Their moods were very complicated. Not to mention the psychological activities of Kang Jimin and the other reservist astronauts, Chen Guohua was in the laboratory at this time, telling researchers about the related technologies of the urine recovery system.

"We all know that it is very, very difficult to obtain water resources in space four hundred kilometers away from us. It is impossible to obtain water resources as easily as we can on the ground, so we have a complete water resource cycle. Reusing systems is very important, and this is one of the key technologies we must overcome.”

Chen Guohua actually didn't need to tell them how important these water resources were, but the urine recycling system was a bit difficult to talk about after all.

There are many technical difficulties in the entire set of technologies. In the final testing phase, researchers need to personally test the system they developed to see what the results are.

Therefore, if the researcher cannot pass the test in his mind, it will be difficult.

Of course, the most important thing is that the astronauts themselves must pass the test in their hearts.

"As the most critical regenerative life support system of the core module, converting wastes such as carbon dioxide, urine, and water vapor emitted by astronauts into drinking water, oxygen and other substances is a technical difficulty that we need to improve and tackle next."

"For the technical information on the urine recovery system, you can take a look at the set of information I sent you before. I believe all of you here have read it, so I won't go into details here."

"This system has many difficulties in technical details, and we need to solve them one by one. Here I will explain in detail the difficulties I think you may encounter."

When Chen Guohua took the initiative to mention these technologies, everyone listened carefully.

After the launch of the space station project, Chen Guohua has been running in various major projects. The only thing that he doesn't need to worry about much is the rocket project.

Qian Xuesen, the former number one person in mainland science, has incredible knowledge in rocketry.

What's more, the technical information Chen Guohua provided was detailed enough that Qian Xuesen could almost just copy it and reproduce it.

Because of this, Chen Guohua has peace of mind and Qian Xuesen doesn't need to worry too much.

But in addition to other projects besides rocket projects, Chen Guohua is busy with many more projects.

For example, the urine recovery system currently being solved is quite complex.

Many times, if you observe carefully, you will know that you can often see urine scaling on the toilet wall in the bathroom. When the calcium loss is too fast, the urine scaling problem will be more serious, and heating will aggravate the problem.

Therefore, from the beginning, Chen Guohua had determined the technical direction of low-pressure distillation based on the characteristics of space station urine and wastewater.

Naturally, this is advanced technology in biological hard drives.

If it weren't for Chen Guohua's temporary inability to come up with more advanced space station core module technology, otherwise, there would be no need for the old technology of low-pressure distillation.

In the biological hard disk, there is not much technology related to urine distillation and recovery.

Among the oldest versions of urine recovery technology: in ground experiments, crystallization will form in pipes, valves, radiators, etc., causing system blockage.

Therefore, after many tests, adsorption was used to decalcify the urine before entering the system to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

This version was undoubtedly abandoned by Chen Guohua.

Chen Guohua will definitely not want any design that causes inconvenience to astronauts.

However, more advanced technologies have been developed, which also means that Chen Guohua is relatively worried about researchers' ability to understand and manufacture this technology.

Although issues such as materials and technology are relatively simple for Chen Guohua.

But he is not a participant in the hands-on manufacturing and development of this part of the system, so it is really difficult to say whether the system can really pass strict technical testing after it is manufactured.

After all, the entire system is quite complex. On the premise of ensuring that the functions can operate normally, it also needs to ensure the longevity of the equipment and high-reliability operation and other complex technical problems.

It is not as simple as described in the simple technical information.

These technologies include oxygen regeneration systems, wastewater regeneration systems, atmospheric pressure and composition control, cabin temperature and humidity control, and sanitation and waste management.

The wastewater regeneration system includes three subsystems: condensate collection, urine treatment and water treatment.

Through these subsystems, the space station can achieve 100% regeneration of water resources on the station.

For example, the water and wastewater regeneration system includes the recovery of condensed water, treatment of waste urine and water purification.

The condensed water generated by cooling and dehumidification is recycled, and water can also be recovered from urine.

The treatment and recycling of urine is an important part of the aerospace life support system, and it is also a relatively complex and important part of the wastewater treatment process.

As we all know, urine contains up to 95% water, 3.5% organic matter and 1.5% inorganic salts.

The treatment of urine usually includes pre-treatment, material recovery and post-treatment. Pre-treatment mainly completes the collection of urine, the addition of pre-treatment agents and the separation of gas and liquid phases.

The pretreatment agent is added to prevent the ammonia released from the hydrolysis of urea in urine from polluting the air, and the post-treatment is to further purify the water recovered from the urine to make it meet drinking water standards.

The treated water also needs to undergo microbial testing, which is very important! ! !

In the space station project led by Chen Guohua, the water purified by the water treatment subsystem in the urine recovery system not only meets drinking water standards, but even exceeds the sanitary standards for domestic drinking water and astronaut drinking water sanitary standards, and can be used in aerospace Cleaning and oxygen production needs of staff.

Astronauts sample the water every month and conduct microbial testing to ensure the water in space is clean.

In the general understanding of the scientific community, living microorganisms need to be in contact with aqueous solutions in time and space in order to metabolize.

While microbial contamination on Earth cannot be completely eliminated, it can be controlled and mitigated over the long term.

Because astronauts need to live for a long time on the space station, analyzing microorganisms in the water is crucial.

In order to provide astronauts with a more comfortable and safe living environment, Chen Guohua also came up with an artificial ecosystem composed of plants, animals and microorganisms.

Therefore, the urine recycling and processing system can also be upgraded in later projects of the space station, so that it can recycle nutrients in urine and use them for plant growth.

This not only ensures the normal growth of plants, but also enables the recycling of materials within the system, thereby reducing the ground supplies required for long-term space activities.

Reducing the space station's dependence on the ground is also what Chen Guohua looks forward to most about the space station project.

Although the rocket technology used by Chen Guohua is very powerful, each launch requires a large amount of funds, which are all expenses.

If possible, each time the materials are launched into space, the weight of water resources and other related materials can be reduced, which means that more other materials can be carried to the space station.

Of course, this is the long-term goal of the space station. For the time being, it is more practical to solve the current technical problems first.

Other researchers in the same small project team as the urine recovery system technical team, after seeing that Chen Guohua was about to finish his work, also came to him with information.

"Director Chen, I would like to ask about the ingredients in this rinse-free hair washing technology."

"Yes, yes, Director Chen, I really don't understand this no-gargle brushing method."

All the technical researchers are like the star-chasers of later generations, unable to move around Chen Guohua.

Chen Guohua was almost surrounded and unable to move, and they had many problems. The key was that they were all gay.

At least here are some lesbians!
Excessive!

In response to their questions, Chen Guohua explained them one by one.

Water resources are so important in space, so Chen Guohua has come up with various methods to help astronauts save water resources in the space station.

Under normal circumstances, adults need to consume about 2,000 milliliters of water per day, which includes water intake from drinking water and food.

According to relevant medical and nutritional research, the appropriate drinking water intake standard for residents is that the human body needs to consume 1,500 ml to 1,700 ml of water every day.

Considering the special environment of the space station, each astronaut needs at least 1,500 milliliters of water per day, which does not include sanitary water and water for equipment provided for the life support system.

When a rocket is launched from the ground, the water resources transported each time will not be particularly large.

Therefore, in the core module, the astronauts' water reserve and urine recovery system, as well as other water-saving measures, are very important.

In a word, all materials entering the space station are rationed and cannot be supplied without limit.

Every astronaut needs to go to the space station and the living materials they need are quantitative standards and cannot exceed too much.

Therefore, Chen Guohua has many things to consider.

Time is precious, but it is also the most ruthless. While Chen Guohua was busy, July was already here before he knew it.

The two eldest children at home have already gone on summer vacation. When it is time for summer vacation, Chen Wei and Chen Si are talking about going to the zoo, climbing mountains, visiting the Summer Palace, going to the countryside to play with their friends in Majiafen, etc.

They still have a lot of extracurricular activities.

Chen Guohua was very busy, so naturally he didn't have time to accompany them everywhere.

Therefore, Chen Gonglu and Yun Wanshang took their children out most of the time, including the little guy Chen Xiangqian, the children of Chen Guohua's sixth and seventh sisters, and the children of Chen Xiaoyue and Lu Jiaxi.

In short, if a group of brats get together, it will definitely be very lively.

Even in a year or two, it will be even more lively.

After all, the two little guys, Chen Xi and Chen An, are already over three years old. In a year or two, they will be four or five years old, and they will be even more naughty and mischievous.

After the time entered July, Chen Guohua thought it was only early summer, but he did not expect that midsummer was already less than half over.

Just because Chen Guohua spends most of his time in an air-conditioned laboratory, even if he gets in a car, it is still air-conditioned.

The first batch of off-road vehicles produced by the BAIC factory had been replaced by another more advanced car.

The main reason is that Chen Guohua's safety is more important, so the cars are of a very high safety level, with bulletproof glass produced by military industrial companies and bulletproof cars made of super-strong alloy steel plates throughout the car.

It can be said that the entire car embodies a lot of the technological crystallization of Zhenhua Research Institute.

Bulletproofing is one of the most important features of this car, and there are naturally many functional attributes that increase comfort, such as air conditioning and heating.

Anyway, these are money-making projects developed by the BAIC manufacturing plant or China Resources, so adding them to your own car is just standard equipment.

Although in many major matters, Chen Guohua's decision-making power is not complete. More often, he needs to obey the management of his superiors.

But when it comes to transportation such as cars and airplanes, Chen Guohua's standards are not low at all.

If he hadn't been unwilling to move out of Cuihua Hutong, his family would have moved to a better place by now.

In the Zhenhua Research Institute, in the director's office, before Chen Guohua could sit down, Qiu Zongyue, who followed him in, informed him of the news.

The North American Aerospace Industries will launch the Saturn V three days later. This time, they will send Apollo 11 to the moon and attempt to land on the moon for the first time.

After Chen Guohua saw the news, his expression was quite complicated.

In that time and space of later generations, many people suspected that North America did not send the Apollo spacecraft to the moon at all, thinking that it was a deceptive scene shot by the Aerospace Industry Bureau and Hollywood.

In fact, this is just the self-pleasure of those ignorant bloggers.

In fact, North America is really awesome. It actually sent Apollo 11 to the moon. The famous astronaut Armstrong was indeed the first human to set foot on the moon.

"Leader, do you still think our moon landing plan has any chance of winning now?"

Without waiting for Qiu Zongyue to answer, Chen Guohua continued:

"Actually, it's not just our moon landing plan that doesn't work, even Moscow can't do it either."

Of course, there is a more applicable saying in Moscow: If you don’t seek death, you won’t die!

They launched two parallel projects, competed for resources, and held each other back. As a result, not to mention Moscow, which was originally weak in terms of health, was naturally overtaken by Washington and then surpassed.

After all, before rendezvous and docking, Moscow is always one step ahead of Washington.

As a result, they made one mistake after another, and in the end they were completely surpassed by Washington.

This is the typical outcome of not dying or not dying.

While Chen Guohua and Qiu Zongyue were chatting, far away in North America, at the launch site of the Aviation Industry Administration, the Saturn V was ready.

The Saturn V launch vehicle is a super-heavy multi-stage liquid fuel launch vehicle developed and used by the North American Aerospace Industries Administration in the two sky programs of the Apollo program and the Skylab program.

It is divided into three stages in total. The first stage uses a liquid oxygen/kerosene propellant engine with a total thrust of 3,400 tons.

Well, just this stage of the rocket engine is far superior to the Long March signal rocket that Chen Guohua used before.

Of course, one is a large launch vehicle and the other is a medium-sized launch vehicle. The former needs to send the spacecraft to the moon, while the latter only needs to send the space capsule into space four hundred kilometers away.

Therefore, the two are not the same at all.

But to say that the rocket with the most powerful thrust, in this era, it has to be the Moskva Energia launch vehicle that "brings miracles with great force".

The Energia launch vehicle is a super-heavy launch vehicle. Even in later generations, this rocket still maintains the world record for the strongest carrying capacity.

In the entire Apollo program, the Saturn V launch vehicle can be said to be the single project with the most funding.

In 1966, in this year alone, US$1.2 billion was allocated to the Saturn V, which can be said to be a super gold-eating beast.

This is just for the Saturn V. The Apollo moon landing program allocated 25.5 billion US dollars. This is just the allocation for Eagle Sauce, not counting other private companies participating in this project.

The time has come to July 16, which is the day when the Saturn V was launched.

On this day, not only the mainland is paying attention, but Moscow is also paying attention.

In the Kremlin office, Bandrovsky looked at the TV pictures relayed by the satellite and thought to himself: The launch failed, let’s set off fireworks!
As the squad leader, Brezhnev watched the TV screen expressionlessly, but in his heart he was also praying that its launch would fail.

At the North American Launch Center, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who had passed all inspections, sat in the cockpit of the Apollo 11 spacecraft with a calm expression.

Why aren't they nervous?

Because they have already flown around the moon twice and once around the Earth, it can be said that they have very rich flying experience, even more experienced than the astronauts in Moscow.

With all the procedures in place, although no more tests were conducted, the Saturn V was launched and took off.

Everyone who was paying attention to this scene was staring at the Saturn V launch vehicle, watching the rocket spray long flames and shoot straight into the sky.

It worked!
Looking at this scene, you can see that there are no technical problems with the Saturn V launch vehicle.

"Fuck, why didn't they explode?"

On the outskirts of Beijing, at the Astronaut Training Center, during lunch time, astronauts like Kang Jimin also saw the scene of the Saturn V launch.

Only by knowing yourself and yourself can you win every battle.

So astronauts like Kang Jimin and Feng Changfu can watch these news.

"How about you go do some damage?"

Hearing Wang Jiqiang's words, Yin Zhongshou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said.

With the destruction of farts, do you really think that NAIA is a vegetarian?
The Saturn V third stage rocket stalled, sending the Apollo spacecraft into a low-altitude parking orbit around the Earth.

The spacecraft will not be sent into the Earth-Moon transition orbit until the third-stage rocket ignites and accelerates for the second time.

"Is it really possible to land on the moon?" Qiu Zongyue murmured to himself in a low voice.

PS: Please vote for me!
