Chapter 433 Lunar Codex ([-])

2020 6 Month 2 Day.

Peking time, 8:20 am.

Zhu Gang was woken up by the alarm clock. At this time, the space station was like daytime, and the rural environment simulated by the holographic projection made people feel as if they had returned to Blue Star. Inside Blue Star's own home.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and tidying up his appearance, Zhu Gang began to eat.

In the master control cabin of the lunar space station, the shift was also completed. Ma Wu took over the power of commander-in-chief and began to prepare for landing on the moon.

After eating, Zhu Gang looked at the time on his wristband, and it was only 9:11. He quickly checked his spacesuit and personal equipment, and after confirming that everything was fine, he came to the Qinglong-class spaceship.

The pilot Chang An, the correspondent Song Quansheng, and the maintenance technician Fang Haibo also entered the cockpit of the Qinglong-class spacecraft one after another.

At this time, there are still about 24 minutes before they land on the moon, and the live broadcast of this moon landing is also continuing on the Internet.

Chang An and Zhu Gang are looking at the landing area this time. The area where they landed on the moon this time is near the south pole of the moon.

The specific location is on the front of the moon, in the Kravis crater about 300-480 kilometers north of the South Pole.

Kravis crater is located near the south pole on the front of the moon, with a diameter of about 240 kilometers from east to west and 150 kilometers from north to south. It is elliptical and has a total area of ​​about 3 square kilometers.

Its southwest is the Sinar crater, the south is the Brancanas crater, the southeast is the Grumberger crater, the northeast is the Magnus crater, and the northwest is the Dragon Fruit Crater.

The reason why we chose to land near the south pole is because there may be solid water resources near the south pole of the moon. Many resources in space seem to be very abundant, but in fact due to the expansion of the distance scale, the relative abundance will be lowered.

Water resources are very important for permanent bases on the lunar surface. If water resources can be mined on the moon, they don't need to transport water resources from Blue Star.

On June 2020, 6, at 2:[-] a.m. Beijing time.

"Escape from the lunar space station."

"Departure success."

Chang An activated the main engine and dived towards the lunar surface, while Zhu Gang operated the auxiliary engine and carefully corrected their orbits.

Since the gravitational force of the moon is only about one-sixth of that of the blue star, it cannot retain a thick atmosphere at all. Its atmosphere is very thin and has very little impact on the landing of the spacecraft.

After starting the main engine, Chang An turned off the main engine, because the spacecraft can then rely on inertia and the gravity of the moon to go to the ground, and only need to use the auxiliary engine to correct the direction from time to time.

[240...210...54...] This is the distance between the spacecraft and the lunar surface. Chang An saw that he had entered within 50 kilometers, and immediately activated the deceleration braking system.

If the landing speed is too fast, it may damage the spacecraft, he must slow the spacecraft, and can only use the auxiliary engine to slow down. The airbag is suspended.

"Entering the landing phase, preparing to land."

Everyone became tense, the altitude of the spacecraft was dropping rapidly, and it was getting closer and closer to the surface of the moon.

At a distance of 5 kilometers from the lunar surface, the auxiliary engine decelerated this time, suppressing the speed of the spacecraft to only about 50 meters per second.

drop!When the height reached about 20 meters from the ground, the buffer airbag exploded instantly, some moon dust was stirred up by the sudden landing, and the spacecraft landed smoothly on the surface of the moon.

Crackling... Inside the lunar space station, Ma Wu, Qin Hailu and others applauded and congratulated the spacecraft for successfully landing on the moon.

After three seconds.

Kaohsiung Aerospace City and Bazhong Aerospace City also burst into thunderous applause.

Then the whole world knew that the Space Development Committee had successfully landed on the moon.

……

"Huh!" Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, the moment of landing is the most dangerous moment, now that he has successfully landed, he can finally let go of his hanging heart.

Zhu Gang activated the buffer airbag recovery system, retracted the airbag that popped up just now, and then quickly checked each system: "Chang team, all systems are normal."

"Okay, let's get ready to leave the cabin!"

"The moon dust outside has not completely settled yet, we will leave the cabin later." Zhu Gang reminded.

Chang An nodded.

Taking advantage of this free time, the four interacted with Blue Star's audience.

Outside the spacecraft, there was silence at this time. This is the first time since the sixth moon landing by Apollo in December 1972, after 12 years, humans have stepped on the moon again.

This time, the Space Development Committee’s moon landing was different from the Apollo moon landing. Due to technical problems in the Apollo moon landing project, it was still difficult for humans to establish a permanent base on the moon at that time.

This time will be the time for humans to officially conquer the moon, and it is also time to develop the moon.

At 12:13, after Chang An, Zhu Gang and others simply ate some fast food and nutritious food, they were ready to leave the warehouse.

"Let's go." Ma Wu came to the airtight hatch and pressed the switch.

drop!Nourish!The hatch opened slowly.

The outside was endless gray and pitch black. Chang An was the first to set foot on the land of the moon, followed by Zhu Gang, while Fang Haibo and Song Quansheng stayed behind on the spaceship.

"We are here! We are back!" Chang An said to all mankind through the live broadcast system, and the second sentence was a tribute to Apollo's moon landing.

"I announce the official establishment of the Dongfanghong Moon Base." Zhu Gang continued. The name of the base is to commemorate Dongtang's first artificial satellite.

After the two interacted with the audience for a while, they began to prepare for other work. Chang An and Fang Haibo were responsible for installing the cabins of the base, while Zhu Gang was responsible for collecting some soil samples.

Several people were busy until 17:30 in the afternoon before returning to the spacecraft to rest. At this time, one of the cabins of Dongfanghong base had been installed, and there was another one left.

After eating, Zhu Gang lay quietly in the lounge.

[Honey, are you okay? You have successfully landed on the moon, have you seen it? I am very honored to be the first Tang people to land on the moon.

I collected a lot of lunar soil and minerals today, and these things will be sent back to Blue Star in a few days. I specially prepared a piece of moon rock for you.

Don't worry, this is allowed by the regulations. You must get better as soon as possible. I hope that when I return to Blue Star, I can see a white and fat tranquility.

Rest early and don't watch the live broadcast often. After all, the holographic bracelet has a certain amount of radiation. I am very good on the moon, so you don't have to worry about me. ——Brother Pig Flying to the Moon]

In the ward of Shanghai Life Science Hospital.

Lin Tranquility, who had just eaten a little porridge, was a little pleasantly surprised when she saw the email sent by Zhu Gang. These days, Zhu Gang's email has become an indispensable part of her life.

Lin Tranquility put down the holographic bracelet and walked to the window. The sunset in the evening made people intoxicated, but Crescent Moon hadn't come out yet.

"Are you thinking about Brother Gangzi again?" Lin Ningxin put a bag of fruit on the bedside table.

"He sent me an email today, saying that he would send me a moon rock." Lin Tranquility said happily.

"I'm so envious." Lin Ningxin said while peeling the apple.

"I'm relieved that he's all right." Lin Tranquility returned to the hospital bed.

The 36-kilometer distance between the blue star and the moon did not stop the thin red line between the two.
