I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Serev's meaning was very clear: the purpose of the Huayin Treaty Organization was so lofty that the other 11 members together were not as effective as they were on their own, and they could not do anything without Huayin.

In this case, you should give full play to your own advantages and be more aggressive during negotiations. If you don't take advantage of this moment to make a deal, you will simply miss the opportunity.

What's more, now that China has the crushing advantage of heavy-duty reusable rockets, it should race as much as possible in space before other countries have this technology.

The superior picked up the report briefly summarized by the two people and read it, and made some decisions in his mind.

…

July 4th, four o'clock in the morning.

"Start braking!"

The ground command center issued instructions to Shuguang 3. There were more than 100 staff here at this time, and they did not slow down at all because of the dark sky. From time to time, people in a hurry could be seen entering and leaving the gate.

The commander-in-chief, Academician She, and the chief designer of Chang Shi, Yun Hongjun, sat in the center of the hall, wearing headphones and staring at the screen intently.

On the big screen at the front, the Dawn 3 in the simulation animation has been captured by the moon's gravity and is decelerating.

The three astronauts were all firmly fixed in their seats at this time, and their eyes unconsciously looked out through the portholes, although there was nothing outside.

At this time, the position they arrived at happened to be 5,400 kilometers away from the dark side of the moon. Without the sunlight, most of the moon was integrated into the darkness, and only a little bit of light could be seen.

69 hours have passed since departure.

The mass of the Dawn spacecraft (deep space) is as high as 22.6 tons, the mass of the lander is 25 tons, and the combination with a total weight of 47.6 tons entered the lunar orbit, surpassing the Apollo spacecraft carried by the Saturn V.

Zhang Zhiguang's breathing was so light that he couldn't even feel it. Fortunately, he couldn't see the moon now, otherwise his attention would have been drawn to it.

The arrival time was about an hour earlier than expected. He and Fang Lin both slept for almost six hours before waking up at three o'clock, and were in very good spirits.

Ding Jihua, who stayed behind on the lunar orbit, had not slept and had been working intermittently for 8 hours, but he was in good condition.

It decelerated and braked several times. During the second deceleration and braking, Shuguang-3 finally saw daylight on the moon.

At this time, the distance is still relatively far, and the details of the lunar surface are not yet clear. Only whitish gray can be seen, and a few areas are brighter, which may be due to the fact that it is rich in metal.

During the two-hour deceleration and braking process, Shuguang-3's communication with the ground was quite stable, thanks to the "Queqiao" at the Lagrange point and several other "Layer" satellites in orbit. can ensure smooth communication.

At 6:21 a.m., Shuguang-3 completed its final deceleration and entered an elliptical orbit of 89 kilometers at peri-lunar point and 140 kilometers at far-lunar point. Now it only takes them two hours to fly around the moon. It only takes an hour to cross the sunny side illuminated by the sun.

Zhang Zhiguang confirmed that the other two people were still wearing seat belts, and slightly activated the RCS to deflect the spacecraft 15 degrees, with the largest porthole facing the lunar surface.

Now, he could see the craters clearly.

"Report to the command center, Dawn has entered orbit, the spacecraft is in good condition, and the personnel's vital signs are good. It's over!"

Hearing these words from the astronaut's mouth, Academician She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the microphone and said:

"Shuguang, please establish communication with the Black Rabbit space station as planned."

In order to reduce unnecessary risks, Shuguang-3 will not dock with the space station until the moon landing is completed. The two astronauts who landed on the moon first docked in the ascender to the spacecraft to complete the transfer, and then threw away the ascender to dock. The space station will leave on a spacecraft after completing a few days of observation experiments.

At this time, they still need to establish stable communication with the space station first. "Wutu" is equipped with the latest generation comprehensive navigation system provided by Xinyuan. Together with unmanned detectors at various landing sites on the lunar surface and satellites in lunar orbit, it can Precisely guiding the Dawn spacecraft for automatic rendezvous and docking will be important later.

This work was supposed to be done by Ding Jihua, but Zhang Zhiguang asked him to take a break and asked Fang Lin to check the lander.

In fact, according to the original plan, the spacecraft must orbit the moon for at least 24 hours before landing on the moon, but rapid landing is also a training subject, and this time the space agency decided to complete the landing operation today.

Because just when Dawn-3 was decelerating and braking, NACA also sent out photos of the moon taken by Artemis 2, which was almost more than an hour later than Dawn-3 in terms of time and angle.

More than an hour is nothing here. It would take two or three hours just to check the lander.

Therefore, the Shuguang-3 crew adopted a rotational rest method. Ding Jihua, who had a lighter task, worked longer hours, allowing the other two lunar landing astronauts to get sufficient rest.

While they were making preparations, Lin Jucai finally arrived at the command center.

After glancing at the orbital parameters on the screen, he slowly walked to sit down next to Academician She, and at the same time put down a bag of coffee.

Academician She: "I don't drink this stuff. It's too bitter. Besides, I don't feel sleepy even when I'm old."

Lin Ju: "I bought it at a milk tea shop. It has more sugar than coffee powder."

Yun Hongjun next to him picked up a glass and drank it without any surprise:

"We don't grind the stuff we buy from outside. The little girl who buys it can't drink bitter coffee. The sugar my daughter bought for me is too sweet."

Academician She felt relieved and took a sip. The sugar and calories made her feel much better.

"Has the landing time been determined? In the afternoon or evening?"

"If everything goes well, it will be around 16:00 in the afternoon. The astronauts will have to rest for a while, and an announcement will be made at 9 or 10 o'clock."

Lin Ju nodded, this should be much faster than Artemis II.

Although they didn't know that "Blue Moon" was still waiting for four astronauts to repair it, the Orion spacecraft had to first dock with the "Gateway" space station for follow-up work. This process alone would take at least three or four hours. In addition, Dawn 3 arrived faster, so it was not a problem to lead Artemis 2.

Therefore, even if it is launched at the same time, the integrated spacecraft Shuguang 3 will have more advantages.

Academician She stood up and moved his body, while talking to Lin Ju about the Huayin Conference:

"Did you know that late last night, our superiors asked us a lot of questions and planned to make some further changes to the treaty.

Your Serev is a capable man, and he was easily convinced. "

Lin Ju hurriedly shook his head: "He only provided technical consultation in the past. It's not you and me who really make the decision. What's more, space is about strength. Either you have technology or money. We have both, so we can make some choices. very natural."

"That represents a more serious confrontation."

"It sounds like you objected when the Tianmu 2 mission was discussed."
