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

"beep--"

The camera beeped, and the green indicator light began to flash regularly.

This is the internal camera of the Shuguang-3 command module. At the same time as it transmits images back to the earth, there is also the camera on the outside of the spacecraft. It has been adjusted to include the lander and the moon.

Audiences who pay a little attention to aerospace are already very familiar with the lunar surface. They saw it once in the Chang'e series mission last year, once in the Shuguang-2 mission, and once in last month's Tianmu-1 mission around the moon. The views from the back and front have long been viewed.

But people's interest in the moon has not diminished at all, at least for now, they never get tired of watching it.

From the perspective of the camera inside the cabin, Zhang Zhiguang and Fang Lin, who had already put on the "Feitian III" and semi-hard-shell extravehicular activity spacesuits, were crowded in a corner of the command module, which seemed a little crowded.

On the chests of the two people, the exquisite golden embroidered Dawn III mission badge is extremely conspicuous against the white background.

They did not interact in low-Earth orbit because of the live broadcast, but focused on their tasks.

Ding Jihua moved the camera slightly, moving the field of view to near the docking port, and then the two bloated astronauts in the picture carefully entered the lander feet first, almost completely covering the interior of the lander.

Robot No. 14 is fixed on the other side of the camera's field of view, completely invisible from the current angle.

Just the simple act of entering the lander took nearly ten minutes.

This is already very fast, and the three astronauts have all been on the space station and have rich experience in practicing in the zero-gravity state. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand that in zero-gravity, it seems to be free from restraint, but in fact it exists all the time. limit.

The change in momentum caused by any action will always cause something and will never be eliminated by gravity. You must be light when you act, but you must control your strength.

Fang Lin is now very grateful to Robot 14. Although the latter has never had a gravity-free experience, it has been programmed to adapt much faster than humans. Normally, it takes 2 to 3 hours for in-cabin inspection work. 14 is a "person" "In the cabin, they are as agile as jellyfish in the ocean, completing complex mechanical inspections quickly and accurately, which greatly reduces their work intensity.

He took inventory of the supplies for the last time: necessary food and water, two emergency rescue kits, electric folding flagpoles, sculptures... they were all complete, and he had memorized the list.

"Brother Zhang, how long do we have?"

"Let me see..." Zhang Zhiguang pressed his wrist, and the HUD on the mask showed the arrival time of the descent point, which was 82 minutes away.

This is the first time humans have landed on the far side of the moon and the South Pole. Not only did Shuguang-3 have to wait for the spacecraft to pass through the Qom impact crater before decelerating, it also had to land when there was sunlight on the far side of the moon. Otherwise, there would be only darkness on the live TV broadcast. , it is also not conducive to manually confirm the observation point.

This requires finding a window of overlap between the orbit of the moon and the rotation of the spacecraft. Fortunately, there are not many such opportunities, and there are several opportunities.

Twenty minutes after entering the lander, Zhang Zhiguang was ready to drain the air inside.

The docking door was slowly closed by Ding Jihua. He took one last look at their faces. There was no fear or worry, just a fearless determination.

Although their radio audio is not broadcast live, Ding Jihua still said nothing and just raised his hand in salute.

The two people in the lander did not speak, and responded with a silent salute. Audiences across the country and the world saw this scene.

They are still active duty soldiers and chose to complete the most complex communication in their own way.

The live broadcast screen switched to mainly outside the cabin. The next stage is to wait for separation.

Ground command center.

Of course Lin Ju could see the footage inside the cabin. He directly picked up the microphone and spoke to the two astronauts:

"Dawn Dawn, No. 14 is now connected to the lander computer. If you encounter a situation that requires manual correction later, don't worry about it. After switching modes, the joystick commands will still have higher priority."

"Dawn understands."

Lin Ju was a little worried that something might happen to robot No. 14. After all, it was a temporary modification. Although it was fine in theory, it was not as professionally designed as No. 1.

Especially for the walking and attitude control systems under zero gravity and low gravity, although in theory it can be run with a supercomputer simulation, it is difficult to say whether there will be problems in practice.

Fortunately, the AI ​​it is equipped with is a self-learning model. As long as there are no major failures and the database can correct errors by itself, there should be no big problem.

"Mr. She, how are the ratings data now?"

Academician She held out three fingers:

"According to statistics from the first ten minutes of broadcasting, the global TV viewing volume is about 3 billion."

"so much!"

"Online live broadcasts and secondary broadcasts are not included in the statistics! Although the repetition rate is very high, I estimate that it should exceed 4 billion."

What is the concept of 4 billion? There are only so many people in almost the entire Asia. Even if we put it in the world, they already account for more than half of the total population of 7.5 billion.

To be bolder, there may be up to 5 billion people.

After all, it is no longer the 1970s when television could only be popularized in developed areas. The Internet, which has only emerged a few years ago, and the satellite TV that has become popular in the new century have almost covered the world, and anyone can watch live broadcasts with the slightest conditions.

"Then it would be much more profitable if we took some advertising fees. No, I have to re-select the advertisers for the Tianmu-2 mission."

"Aren't you making enough money? You printed advertisements on your space suits!"

Speaking of advertisements, Academician She remembered that a few days ago, Xinyuan asked for the spacesuit of Tianmu-2, and then began to print advertising icons on the surface.

Zhang Yingming got the best position by exchanging part of his equity in Douyin and TikTok. The mission badge on his chest is the advertising pattern. The second advertiser is Xinan Automobile. His son successfully got the naming rights of the lunar rover.

Unlike the space agency's "Delu", the lunar rover of the Tianmu-2 mission is still open although it is limited by the capabilities of the lander, but its speed and obstacle surmounting capabilities have been partially improved. It was jointly developed by the base and Xin'an.

The most important point is that Xinan found a way to use memory alloy to create an extremely thin folding car shell, which can reveal the car shell after the lunar rover is unfolded, making it generally look more like a convertible sports car.

Its naming directly uses the XC series, skipping the unreleased model and positioning it as the XC10, which is XCX. Like "Delu", it takes the name of a good horse as "Red Rabbit".

The XCX model with a similar appearance has been disclosed to the public but the model has not been disclosed. It is waiting for Deng Lei to launch the lunar rover and hold a press conference and accept reservations at the same time.

Of course, there are many locations where advertising can be sold, and each location is expensive.

This kind of advertising method that is difficult to replicate by the space agency will directly bring huge profits to Xinyuan, making Academician She extremely envious.

Advertising alone can recoup part of the funds. If the space agency can do the same, it will probably be much smoother when the plan is approved, right?
