Chapter 777 Successful Moon Landing: Witnessing History Together

Moon.

As the closest planet to Earth, its status needs no further explanation.

The moon may not appear very large from Earth.

However, in space, its size is by no means small.

With a radius of approximately 1,800 kilometers, landing on the moon is both difficult and easy, depending on the circumstances.

Chinese culture spans five thousand years, boasting a long and rich history, and the moon holds an extremely high position in traditional culture.

Ever since the Federal Republic of America landed on the moon, the Chinese people have been wondering when we will be able to land on the moon.

This idea has always been buried in the hearts of the Chinese people.

However, at that time, the country was poor and weak, and its economic and technological strength was insufficient.

Especially in aerospace technology, even if you pay money to join international space organizations, you're still looked down upon.

Finally, in a fit of anger, he rolled up his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and silently focused on developing the business.

After decades of development, they have gone from almost nothing to developing their own rockets, satellites, and space stations.

Even though GalaxySpace is currently attempting a lunar landing, it is a private company.

This has not affected the sense of pride among the Chinese people in the slightest.

December 28th.

The Houyi spacecraft has been orbiting the moon for three days.

All the necessary preparations have been completed, and the technical parameters have been collected.

During this period, Wang Donglai would contact ground personnel every day to conduct live broadcasts across the entire internet.

During the live stream, Wang Donglai was very relaxed.

They discussed a wide range of topics, and even connected with netizens online to exchange ideas and communicate.

This action made Wang Donglai's live stream extremely attractive.

It's important to know that Wang Donglai carries too many accolades and titles.

He is admired by countless young people both domestically and internationally on the internet.

Although Wang Donglai has always kept a low profile and has not promoted himself like Jack Ma, he has never done so.

However, his online reputation is no less than that of Jack Ma.

It even has better popularity, buzz, and reputation.

There is a reason for this.

Pinduoduo offers a better shopping experience than Taotian Group, with higher-quality express delivery services, and Galaxy Technology provides better employee benefits than Jackmai.

Wang Donglai's management style is more humane, which is why he has gained more goodwill.

Because of the moon landing the next day, everyone who cared about Wang Donglai became extremely nervous.

When faced with such a big event and such high risks, it's impossible not to be nervous.

After all, Wang Donglai was their relative, or their most important benefactor.

This is also true for the executives at Galaxy Technologies.

It is precisely because of the title of Galaxy Technology that their business has been able to develop so smoothly.

They dared not imagine what Galaxy Technology would face if something happened to Wang Donglai.

However, at this point, no matter how worried everyone was, there was nothing they could do but pray that everything would go smoothly for Wang Donglai.

The aerospace system, as well as many related leaders, are also worried about this.

That night, too many people couldn't sleep.

the next day.

Before the official moon landing, the entire internet once again promoted the live broadcast, making the moon landing a live broadcast across the entire network.

The number of people paying attention to it exceeded five million in a very short period of time.

Keep in mind that at this point, there weren't many truly valuable clips in the live stream.

CCTV is also broadcasting the news live.

This is true both online and on television.

Even local authorities are conducting related interviews and reports, and footage of the Houyi spacecraft can be seen playing in numerous public places.

Among those watching these videos were students, office workers, the elderly, and children, but without exception, their eyes held a hint of pride and joy as they gazed at the live stream.

At this moment, it can be said that the whole country is united in its efforts to ensure the success of this lunar landing!

Time passed by minute by minute.

The Houyi spacecraft is getting closer and closer to the moon.

Yang Anchao's heart was pounding in the command center.

His position as commander-in-chief cannot be entirely relied upon.

In this lunar landing experiment, he was ostensibly the commander-in-chief, but in reality, he was just an assistant.

Wang Donglai was the one who truly held the initiative.

He's in charge of things like rocket launches.

However, the timing of when the spacecraft will deploy its lander for landing is determined before the spacecraft launches.

Even if an accident occurs in space, Wang Dong will be responsible for changing the plan.

All he could do, and all he had to do, was cooperate well with Wang Donglai.

Even so, Yang Anchao was still extremely grateful to Wang Donglai.

Without Wang Donglai, he would never have had such an opportunity.

There are just too many people in the aerospace system, not to mention the ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the leadership. It would be quite an achievement for these old guys to make any progress at all.

The next steps need to be handed over to young people to train them.

Logically speaking, this is the right thing to do.

However, emotionally, Yang Anchao was still somewhat unwilling.

At GalaxySpace, he found his value.

Even if it was just a collaborative effort, his contributions to this space mission cannot be denied.

"The lunar mission has officially begun!"

"Landing module launched!"

As Yang Anchao calmly read out the orders in the command hall.

The Houyi spaceship in the picture has changed dramatically.

A landing module slowly detached from the spacecraft, gradually accelerated, escaped its original orbit, and headed towards the moon.

There is actually another technical challenge in this manned lunar landing.

That is to record this space mission in a comprehensive way, which requires loading hundreds of shots.

For example, the separation of the landing module from the spacecraft at this moment would be impossible to record without prior preparation.

Fortunately, Wang Donglai had already confirmed this with Nuwa at the beginning of the design process, so this scene could be clearly recorded and presented to the national audience.

There is clearly no sound in the video.

But to everyone else, it sounded like a hissing sound and the pounding of their hearts.

In the scene, the landing module is like a brave and fearless warrior, charging towards the enemy.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Compared to the size of the moon, the landing module was negligible.

Furthermore, the landing module is not very large. If a problem were to occur at this time, it would not only mean the failure of this manned lunar landing mission, but also that Wang Donglai would be trapped in space.

Such a price is one that no one can afford.

At that moment, many leaders couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

We shouldn't have agreed to let Wang Donglai go to the moon; the risk was just too great.

These thoughts flashed through the leader's mind. But the most important thing next was the outcome of the moon landing.

At this moment, footage of the landing module was also transmitted.

All that could be seen was Wang Donglai, dressed in a spacesuit, waving and greeting the camera from inside the landing module.

This scene brought a long sigh of relief to countless people.

Even as the rapidly falling spacecraft shook, causing some shaky footage, the camera still managed to capture the moment.

However, they could all see that Wang Donglai looked relaxed and did not show much discomfort.

Just like astronauts returning to Earth, the lunar lander needs a certain speed to escape the gravitational pull of gravity in order to land on the moon.

The technical principles are the same, but the risks are different.

After all, the lunar environment is different, and the gravity is only one-seventh that of Earth.

Furthermore, China did not engage in any exchange or cooperation with the United States regarding lunar landing technology. These crucial data were collected on the moon by lunar probes and then sent back to China.

Therefore, no one dares to say whether the technology is truly reliable or not.

As the lunar module drew closer to the moon, images of the moon were shown to the entire nation.

The surface was uneven and pitted, with no green vegetation whatsoever.

Even through the lens, you can feel a sense of desolation.

For a time, this shattered the illusions many Chinese people had about the moon.

Although I knew long ago that there could not be any humans on the moon, and there would be no lunar palace or anything like that.

However, when the real-life moon, so legendary in mythology, is presented to the public, some disappointment is inevitable.

Of course, such emotions only last for a moment.

"Is this the moon? It's so desolate!"

"My illusions have been shattered. I thought there really was Chang'e up there."

"If these things really existed, they would have been spotted by telescopes long ago."

"Seriously, what's the point of going through all that trouble to get up to such a desolate moon?"

"Exactly, wouldn't it be better to use the aerospace funding for poverty alleviation and do more valuable things?"

"No wonder the Bald Eagle Federation didn't want to go up again after they went up; it was a complete waste of money."

"Where did this idiot come from upstairs? Does the Bald Eagle Federation not want to go to the moon? They don't have the technology anymore, okay? Besides, the moon may not be valuable now, but who can guarantee it won't be in the future? Closing the country off once is enough. Doing it again would be ridiculous."

"I think our investment in the aerospace field is simply not enough, and we should continue to expand the scale."

at last.

When the lunar module descended to within 20 kilometers of the lunar surface, its engines started instantly.

This altitude was precisely calculated by Wa. Starting the engine at this time would generate enough thrust to safely send the landing module to the lunar surface.

Starting too early will waste fuel and increase the risk of having to return.

If the launch is delayed, or if there is insufficient altitude or thrust, the landing module will become a cannonball and crash directly onto the lunar surface.

Of course, there are many things to calculate here.

For example, position, angle, engine power, etc.

Any problem could lead to the failure of the moon landing.

This is why China has been delaying its manned lunar landing experiment.

Only after the technology matures and we have a greater sense of certainty can we proceed.

Otherwise, if the experiment fails right away, the consequences would be unbearable for them.

When the engine started, the staff in the ground control center stared wide-eyed at the screen.

At this moment, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of affecting the landing module.

This landing module carries too much.

Days are like years.

Those short ten minutes felt like a dozen hours.

As a violent tremor came from the screen, everyone's hearts trembled along with it.

Because everyone knew that this meant the landing module had landed on the lunar surface.

In other words, from a narrow perspective, the moon landing was a success.

However, no applause broke out at this moment.

Because no one knows the specifics of Wang Donglai's situation inside the landing pod.

If Wang Donglai is safe and sound and can even step out of the landing module and leave footprints on the lunar surface, then that would truly be a successful moon landing.

They didn't keep us waiting long.

The signal was reconnected, and Wang Donglai appeared in the shot.

At this moment, Wang Donglai's face lost its usual calmness and became slightly agitated.

In this life and the next, this is his first time on the moon, and he is also the first Chinese person to come here.

"Gentlemen, let's witness this great moment together through my lens!"

As he spoke, Wang Donglai turned on the camera on his spacesuit helmet.

The live stream camera on Earth also switched to a different viewpoint, showing the helmet camera that Wang Donglai had just turned on.

After speaking, Wang Donglai began operating the landing module.

According to the procedure, the lunar rover should first drive out of the landing module and collect data from the outside before Wang Donglai walks out of the landing module.

Click!

The landing module slowly opened its gaps, and the lunar rover started moving, driving out from inside the landing module.

In an instant, another camera view appeared on the ground, this time from the lunar rover.

The lunar rover started, but at a slow speed.

The slowly moving images also stirred the blood of countless Chinese viewers.

Those with impatient temperaments even wished they could stick their hands into the frame and push the lunar rover to speed up.

The technologies carried on the lunar rover were all developed with confidence by Galaxy Technology.

It can collect surrounding data in the shortest possible time, including key data such as wind speed, temperature, humidity, and radiation.

These data are also extremely important.

Because the surface of the moon is not like Earth, which has a protective layer.

The moon's surface faces the universe directly, and it encounters numerous dangers.

Leaving aside cosmic rays themselves, the temperature difference on the moon is also extremely large.

Not to mention cosmic storms.

Allowing the lunar rover to attempt the test first is not excessive caution, but rather a matter of course.

Time passes slowly.

The number of viewers watching the live stream did not decrease; on the contrary, it continued to grow.

After the lunar rover transmitted the specific data, Wang Donglai prepared to exit the lunar module from inside the landing module.

"Today, I am able to land on the moon because I have 1.4 billion people standing behind me. It is your support that has enabled GalaxySpace to achieve this."

"Now let's unveil the true face of the moon!"

After saying that, Wang Donglai leaned out of the opening of the landing module.

Step by step, Wang Donglai slowly and carefully placed his feet on the surface of the moon.

Seeing the clear footprint on the lunar surface, netizens on Earth watching the live broadcast of the moon landing were immediately thrilled.

"We made it!"

The moon landing was a success!
In that instant, the country became a sea of ​​revelry, filled with cheers and joyful celebrations.
