Chapter 108: landing on the moon

readx(); In endless reverie, Zhao Huasheng spent his first night in the Skylab. Perhaps knowing that there are too many monitoring devices here, it is really inconvenient to talk, and the plasma lifeform is rarely silent. During this period of time, it has not talked to Zhao Huasheng. However, the slight itching sensation on the skin of the head has been reminding Zhao Huasheng that the plasma lifeform has always been by his side, never left, never left for a moment.

Zhao Huasheng can rest, while the rest of the astronauts never rest. They cooperated with each other, and under the command and cooperation of ground staff, they transported the materials stored in the Skylab to the "Houyi" spacecraft in batches. They were busy for a few hours to complete all this, and then they took a short rest for a while, and the journey to the moon officially began.

The Houyi spacecraft can probably be regarded as the first real spacecraft in human history. It's not the same as the Crimson Heart spacecraft, which is a one-off -- not just the Crimson Heart spacecraft, all the spacecraft that humans have launched before are one-offs, all because they have to execute It is specially customized for a certain task and will be discarded after it is used once and a specific task is completed. The Houyi spacecraft can be reused. It can be parked in the spacecraft port of the Skylab for maintenance and inspection, and it can also complete the mission of manned trips to the moon.

It's entirely built for space travel, which means it doesn't land on the planet's surface. But the existence of Skylab solves this problem. The Skylab serves as a transit station, a bridge connecting the Houyi spacecraft and the surface of the earth.

At this moment, Zhao Huasheng and three astronauts came to the Houyi spacecraft. The astronauts were nervously manipulating various instruments and proofreading various data, while Zhao Huasheng silently tied himself to the seat with his seat belt again. After communicating with the ground staff, a blazing white flame was ejected from the rear of the Houyi spacecraft. Driven by this flame, it slowly left the port in the Skylab and stepped into the into space.

It already has a speed of up to seven kilometers per second, which means that it only needs a little more acceleration to break free of the Earth's gravitational field. So the huge Skylab was left behind by the Houyi spacecraft. And finally disappeared below the horizon. disappeared without a trace. But after a while, Skylab rose from the horizon in front of him again, and was overtaken by the Houyi spacecraft once again.

The Houyi spacecraft is accelerating around the earth. This time will last for about two days, within these two days. Its orbit will become increasingly flat, and it will eventually break free of Earth's gravitational field at apogee. Run to the moon.

At this moment, it has reached the most critical moment to break free from the earth's gravitational field. The distance between its apogee and the earth is more than 10,000 kilometers, and the bright lights above the earth cannot be clearly seen from here. Earth is bright on one side and dark on the other. The dark side blends in with the dark cosmic background and looks a little blurry. As a result, only half of it remained, and it was suspended in space like half a milky white mooncake.

"It has successfully broken free from the Earth's gravitational field, and the spacecraft's relative speed to the moon is 5.2 kilometers per second. We will reach the moon in about a day." An astronaut said to Zhao Huasheng.

Zhao Huasheng just nodded and did not answer. At this moment, the spacecraft has entered the inertial navigation stage. In addition to the necessary orbital fine-tuning, the spacecraft no longer needs to perform violent acceleration and deceleration. So Zhao Huasheng also unbuckled his seat belt and floated in the cabin.

The earth has been quietly suspended behind the spacecraft. There was no movement. It was shrinking at a rate imperceptible to the naked eye, until it seemed to be the size of a discus before stopping. By that time, the moon will be here.

Contrary to the ever-shrinking Earth, the Moon is constantly expanding. The bridge that maintains these two different changes is the Houyi spacecraft that is flying at high speed.

The dark and deep universe, the dazzling sun, the beautiful earth, and the quiet moon constitute all the world that Zhao Huasheng can see. Time continued to pass in this silence. After Zhao Huasheng had another sleep and rest, the moon seemed to be bigger than the sun.

At this moment, there are still 60,000 kilometers from the moon. Long before this distance, the Houyi spacecraft had already started to decelerate in preparation for entering the lunar orbit. At that time, the Houyi spacecraft will revolve around the moon at a speed of 1.5 kilometers per second, and the landing module will bring those materials, as well as Zhao Huasheng and several astronauts to the land of the moon.

The moment came seven hours later. The Houyi spacecraft successfully entered the orbit of the moon and began to revolve around the moon at a stable angle and speed. After it moved to a suitable place, Zhao Huasheng and the two astronauts who followed him put on space suits and entered the landing module. The remaining astronaut will stay in the Houyi spacecraft and be responsible for the operation and control of the Houyi spacecraft.

The landing module also has its own fuel. After leaving the Houyi spacecraft, the landing module began to decelerate. As it decelerated, it began to spiral close to the lunar surface in a parabolic shape. After a few laps around the moon, the recoil rocket at the bottom of the landing module opened, reducing the speed of the landing module again, so the landing module stopped firmly on the moon.

Before the landing module landed on the moon, Zhao Huasheng had already felt the gravity of the moon, but the previous feeling was not so real. It was a kind of feeling like staying in the water, feeling light and light all over, as if you could fly up if you were not careful.

"Sorry, there was a slight deviation in the attitude control system of the landing module during the landing process. We did not land at the predetermined location, but landed at a place ten kilometers away from the lunar base." An astronaut said to Zhao Huasheng, " But it doesn't matter, please rest assured, the astronauts who stayed at the lunar base have already arrived in the lunar rover, and they will arrive soon."

"Okay." Zhao Huasheng nodded, and then said, "Can we leave here now?"

"Okay." The astronaut said, stretched out his hand to operate inside the landing module a few times, and the hatch opened. Zhao Huasheng got up and walked out of the landing capsule along the ladder. The two astronauts behind them also followed, so the three of them stood on the ground on the surface of the moon.

It was dark, dark, and there was no visible light source other than the glow of the searchlights above the suit. But because of this, the starry sky here appears to be more thorough, like a large black gemstone dotted with many bright pearls.

The Earth is on the far side of the moon, so the Earth cannot be seen at the moment. The vague connection between Zhao Huasheng's heart and the earth has never been cut off. Zhao Huasheng knew that there were countless compatriots living on the star not far away, where he came from and always belonged there.

Zhao Huasheng lowered his head, and the light of the searchlight shone on the surface of the moon. The surface of the moon is all gray dust, but the dust here is rough, not round at all, but angular. This is very different from what is on Earth. Because the dust and gravel on the earth cannot keep their edges and corners for a long time under the impact of water and air currents, as well as the friction between them.

The dust here is very thick, and if you step on it, you can sink a few centimeters deep, but the space here is so thorough that you can't even see the beam of light appearing in the air when the searchlight shines out. Because the light column appears because of the dust existing in the air and the scattering of the gas, but there is nothing on the moon, so naturally there is no scattering.

Here is eternal cold and darkness. In the thousands of years of human history, no one has ever set foot here, not even robots. But it's always been here, no matter what drastic changes have taken place on the planet adjacent to it. If there is no accident, the situation here will always exist like this, forever.

Zhao Huasheng tried to take two steps on the moon, but the incompatibility of gravity caused Zhao Huasheng to stumble and almost fell. Zhao Huasheng was a little more careful, carefully moving his steps here~www.readwn.com~ and leaving a long series of footprints behind him. If there is no external influence, these footprints will exist for at least millions of years.

All around was darkness like water, so thick that people couldn't help but feel depressed in their hearts. At the same time, the person living here is helpless, because no matter what kind of predicament he encounters, no one will come to help him.

And Zhao Huasheng will survive in this darkness as thick as water, and will never have the chance to return.

Zhao Huasheng didn't go too far, but just circled around the landing module, and then began to wait.

While Zhao Huasheng was waiting, the other two astronauts were also busy, unloading the materials carried in the landing module, and then stacking them aside. After waiting for a while, Zhao Huasheng saw two beams of light suddenly shot out from the darkness ahead. Zhao Huasheng took a closer look and saw two tractor-like vehicles driving over crookedly.

Zhao Huasheng knew that it was the two astronauts left behind at the lunar base who came to greet him. (To be continued~www.readwn.com~ home! The only website:
