Chapter 776 Prospects for Space Tourism

As time passed, the Galaxy rocket flew into space, and the Houyi spacecraft successfully entered orbit.

When the command center broadcast this message, everyone in the command hall and the viewers watching the live broadcast outside spontaneously applauded.

The applause was thunderous, almost lifting the roof off.

At the same time, numerous cameras captured this scene perfectly.

The rocket launch was successful and the spacecraft entered orbit, which means that the lunar landing has entered its second step.

Although there are still steps such as logging in and returning later.

But this is a moon landing!
It has been many years since the world has carried out a space mission like this.

Even the once-successful Bald Eagle Federation seems to have forgotten this point in recent years.

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Yang Anchao, the chief commander, and other professionals remained on edge.

Because they know very well that this is just the beginning.

It could even be said that, given GalaxySpace's capabilities, successfully launching the rocket was to be expected.

It would be surprising if problems arose.

Even though this Galaxy Rocket is larger in scale and more dangerous.

The next steps are the most important.

Because Wang Donglai was the only astronaut on the entire Houyi spacecraft.

If even the slightest accident were to occur, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this point, aside from a very small number of people who hoped the mission would fail so that Wang Donglai would remain in space, most Chinese people hoped that Wang Donglai could successfully land on the moon and then return.

This is an idea based on a simple moral compass.

This is also a small reward brought about by what Wang Donglai has done over the years.

To land on the moon, it's impossible for a rocket to launch and the spacecraft to immediately head straight for the moon at full speed.

First, it needs to fly around the moon, and then find a suitable time and place to land.

Even the return trip requires the time to be confirmed in advance.

The space environment is, after all, different from that on Earth.

As an artificial intelligence, Nuwa had already calculated all of this.

This mission will slowly approach the lunar surface, then orbit the moon for four days before landing near the Lava Pipe Base No. 1 in a lunar crater.

This is also the base that the previous lunar probes discovered on the moon that is suitable for human construction and habitation.

Now that the base location has been found, Wang Donglai naturally doesn't need to choose a random place to land.

The right way is to land here directly and then slowly build a base.

Before the moon landing, Wang Donglai had already communicated with the higher authorities.

Following this successful lunar landing, all subsequent lunar missions will land here, pooling national resources to build the lunar base as soon as possible.

Once this base is completed, the country can immediately ramp up its efforts and send in more supplies and personnel.

When it comes to construction speed, China really isn't afraid of anyone.

Using this lunar base as a springboard, we can quickly grasp and apply the value of the moon.

The Houyi spacecraft has entered orbit, and the rest is quite simple.

Wang Donglai was also on the road in front of the camera, communicating with the ground.

This footage was also released.

Once here, apart from professionals who need to keep a close eye on Wang Donglai in space orbit, the rest of the netizens quickly lost interest.

After all, there was nothing in their field of vision.

Only when we land on the moon four days later will today's grand occasion be repeated.

……

Bald Eagle Federation.

Even though it's late at night.

The lights at the Pentagon, NASA, and other key locations of the Bald Eagle remain as bright as ever.

Without a doubt, it's all because of GalaxySpace's manned lunar landing experiment.

As the rocket was launched, countless people were viciously cursing it, hoping it would explode as soon as it took off.

To deliver a severe blow to China's confidence, and incidentally get rid of a troublesome scientist as well.

However, things did not happen according to their expectations.

Not only was the rocket successfully launched, but it also showcased a wave of advanced aerospace technology to the world.

For example, there's recyclable technology; we saw Galaxy Aerospace successfully recover a third-stage rocket.

Many NASA officials gritted their teeth and their eyes turned red.

"This is blatant plagiarism!"

"They copied our ideas and put them into practice!"

"Damn it, why didn't it explode? I thought if it exploded at this moment, it would be an unparalleled fireworks show."

"This is truly unacceptable!"

"I think it's absolutely necessary for us to just blow it up right now!"

"We absolutely cannot allow it to actually land on the moon, as this would pose a huge threat to our technological leadership."

"Let's act now, we can't wait for them to return!"

"If we don't curb their development, we will lose our future!"

"No, not in the future, but we are already facing challenges now."

The successful launch of the Galaxy rocket and the orbital insertion of the Houyi spacecraft caused many Bald Eagle Federation officials to lose their minds.

Among those who have reached this position, there may be some who are not very skilled, but they are definitely not stupid.

Regardless of their usual arguments, at this moment, their thoughts were aligned.

That means we absolutely cannot just watch China's aerospace science and technology continue to develop.

As Old Dong listened to the suggestions from the officials below, a confident smile appeared on his face.

"I have already said that no one understands China better than me, and no one understands aerospace better than me."

"If we take action now, I believe China must be well prepared."

"Don't forget, we haven't lost communication channels with China yet. Perhaps they are already on guard against us right now."

"If you think we can have a conflict with China at this time, then I would say you have a problem with your intelligence."

"China is not a small country. We must take this opponent seriously and not let our guard down."

"Moreover, interfering with China's aerospace signals is a huge undertaking, and our technicians are still working overtime."

"Taking action now offers no guarantee of success."

Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, Old Dong's tone immediately became more enthusiastic.

"However, as the person who understands China best in the great Bald Eagle Federation, I know that if we do not make any statement at this important moment, it will arouse their suspicion even more."

"Therefore, I will use satellites in space to keep a close eye on the movements of Chinese spacecraft."

With Old Dong's orders and authorization, the countless satellites controlled by the Bald Eagle Federation underwent immediate changes.

Such changes have naturally attracted attention domestically.

"Pay close attention, remain vigilant at all times, increase the frequency of communication between the two sides, and ensure that the Bald Eagle Federation does not do anything foolish."

"If necessary, take preventative measures!" These were the only two orders given regarding the changes to the Bald Eagle Federation's satellites in space.

……

Galaxy Rocket Launch Center.

After the spacecraft successfully entered orbit, there was almost no danger left. The next step was to see how it would land on the moon.

Therefore, the executives of Galaxy Technology and Wang Donglai's family members also took a break at this moment.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they haven't done anything; in this short period of time, none of them have had a proper rest.

Only now, seeing that everything is going smoothly with the spaceship, have I managed to regain my composure.

Of course, there were also many cameras set up inside the spaceship.

If it's an official website, these shots cannot be turned off.

However, because it was developed in-house, Wang Donglai was able to control the lens's on/off switch.

this day.

The entire domestic internet was completely dominated by Galaxy Aerospace.

No matter which platform you click on, it's the same; netizens are actively and enthusiastically discussing related topics.

After all, this is just too much of a topic of discussion.

The world's richest man, an astronaut, the leader of China's first manned lunar landing experiment, and a private aerospace company...

When these things are put together, the resulting chemical reaction is enormous.

In addition to a large number of positive topics, there are also quite a few negative ones.

For example, some people are stirring up trouble and putting pressure on the aerospace system, asking why Galaxy Aerospace, a private company, can achieve manned lunar landings while their professional teams have been slow to make any moves.

Why did GalaxySpace suddenly accelerate its manned lunar landing program when the timeline had been clearly agreed upon, without involving the two major aerospace groups?

What roles did the two major aerospace groups play in this manned lunar landing experiment?
Such problems are not uncommon on online platforms.

These kinds of rhetoric-setting questions, if they were asked normally, might cause quite a stir.

But that's not possible now.

Because most people were caught up in the excitement of the spacecraft successfully entering orbit, and were looking forward to the subsequent lunar flyby and landing.

Therefore, they are simply unwilling to think about these issues.

For employees of Galaxy Technology, it's like their boss has become an astronaut and gone to the moon.

Such behavior undoubtedly makes employees of all companies under Galaxy Technology proud.

Of course, Galaxy Technology also treated its employees well.

We're given three days off, paid leave.

Employees of companies like Xinghuo Express, Pinhaofan, and Galaxy Aerospace, who are unable to take time off due to the nature of their work, have all been given compensation of triple their wages for these three days.

……

Deep city.

Grandpa Ren turned off the tablet, placed it aside, and sighed deeply, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! You can't deny getting old!"

As a veteran in the domestic business world, Mr. Ren has seen all kinds of geniuses.

There are technical geniuses, R&D geniuses, marketing geniuses, and so on.

But this was the first time in all these years that he had met someone like Wang Donglai.

Each time, Wang Donglai updates his rating.

Over the years of working with Galaxy Technology, Chrysanthemum has learned a lot from them and improved many of its products.

At the same time, they also witnessed the rise of a super giant.

Many employees of Chrysanthemum Technology chose to switch jobs after contacting Galaxy Technology.

If it were any other company, Taiwan would have taken action long ago.

But when it comes to Galaxy Technology, even a chrysanthemum is acceptable.

Because Galaxy Technology offers better compensation and faster technological updates.

Although it's hard to admit, Galaxy Technology's R&D capabilities have surpassed those of Chrysanthemum.

In certain areas, Galaxy Technology is a global leader.

For example, artificial intelligence technology, or biomedical technology.

When Mr. Ren heard Galaxy Aerospace's official announcement that it would conduct a manned lunar landing experiment, he had a bold guess in his mind that this experiment might be successful.

After watching today's live broadcast, Mr. Ren had no more doubts about the manned lunar landing.

Because, in Wang Donglai's eyes during the live broadcast just now, he saw an expression of extreme confidence.

Mr. Ren trusted his own judgment, so he believed that Galaxy Aerospace's manned lunar landing mission was entirely successful.

After expressing his feelings, Old Master Ren thought of his eldest daughter and couldn't help but sigh.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his mood soured.

However, at that moment, a bold idea suddenly flashed through Old Master Ren's mind.

My gaze instinctively fell on the tablet, which was currently playing a live broadcast of the Houyi spaceship.

……

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

At noon, Wang Donglai also turned on his camera, connected it to the ground, and started a live broadcast across the entire network.

On camera, Wang Donglai began his explanation.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Donglai, an astronaut on this manned lunar landing mission."

"Now I will take you on a tour of the Houyi spacecraft, which was jointly developed by GalaxySpace and two major aerospace groups."

"We received support from two major aerospace groups during the design and manufacturing of the spacecraft, and I would like to express my gratitude to them publicly."

"Now that the thanks are over, I'll introduce the spaceship's functions and some of its equipment..."

"As we all know, the moon has been in our sight since ancient times. Over the past few thousand years, countless people have dreamed of flying to the moon."

"If all goes well, I will be the first modern Chinese to set foot on the moon."

Wang Donglai introduced the equipment in the spaceship's space while chatting casually.

This would not have been possible with older communication technologies.

However, with quantum communication technology, it can be done.

Wang Donglai did not want to do the same thing as the national team, such as holding science classes or similar programs in space.

These programs are meaningful, but he doesn't think they're that important.

"GalaxySpace has been trying to reduce the cost of spaceflight, and next year we will launch commercial space tourism activities."

"Our rocket launch technology is already very advanced. To date, we have successfully launched 25 times with a 100% success rate."

"The space station we are building in space will also be open to the public later."

"Customers can fully appreciate the unique environment of space inside the space station. I believe this will be a unique and unforgettable experience."

“We even accept proposal ceremonies held on the space station, giving the newlyweds a unique and meaningful ceremony.”

"All profits earned from these projects will be used for the research and development of aerospace technology."

"Galaxy Aerospace hopes that one day, we can facilitate tourism between Earth and the Moon, allowing more people to travel to the Moon and experience space."

"Technological development should benefit everyone. Galaxy Technology will always uphold this principle, providing everyone with a better experience and bringing more products."
