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

For viewers around the world now watching the moon landing, they were actually quite busy too.

In the past few hours, they had to watch the Dawn 3 live broadcast for a while, and then refresh the Artemis 2 live broadcast room every once in a while, for fear that they would miss some unique and big scene.

But now, most of their attention is focused on Shuguang-3. After all, the latter is going to land on the moon in a few minutes.

The background music of the CCAV live broadcast has disappeared at some point, and now the audio and video that the audience can see is the same as that of Explorer 9.

The latter lay prone in the shadows below the lander, and then received an order from No. 14 to let it roll away.

The camera outside the lander now represents the eyes of more than five billion people around the world.

Seven minutes after the studio host issued the announcement to exit the cabin, the gangway under the cabin door began to unfold.

The gangway is divided into upper and lower parts, with a total of 11 levels in total. This is because the split design makes the hatch relatively high. Fortunately, it is also equipped with handrails, so be careful not to cause the astronauts to fall.

Inside the landing cabin, Zhang Zhiguang stood in front of the cabin door and kept making stepping movements.

He has roughly mastered the essentials of action under the current gravity, and he should not fall down in front of the whole world.

Looking at the air pressure in the cabin, it is indeed red 0. The cabin door is opened inward to prevent the air from being blown out with the astronauts when the door is opened.

He finally nodded to Fang Lin, who was standing on the other side of the door facing him, and then pulled down the golden opaque compartment inside the mask.

The handle inside the cabin door is grasped by hands separated by thick composite materials on both sides, and starts to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. It takes a total of one and a half rotations. If there is an air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cabin, the mechanical lock is not released, etc. They can't turn.

Zhang Zhiguang spent more than ten seconds to confirm that the hatch was opened in place, and then gently pulled it inward.

The gray desert looks like an overexposed old photo without any bright colors.

The hatch was easier to open than expected, and Zhang Zhiguang saw the vast desert plain at a glance.

Although he had seen it countless times on the screen, even though there was no life here, and even though there was nothing on the ground except dust and scattered small stones, he still stood there stunned for a moment.

But only for a moment.

People on Earth saw the dark shadow that appeared after the hatch under the camera opened, and then saw Zhang Zhiguang's right hand reaching out to grab the right armrest, followed by the life-support backpack on the back of the space suit.

He faced the lander and walked step by step to the last step, holding on to the handrail.

Zhang Zhiguang carefully raised his right foot and turned his body around, grabbing the handrail as if before jumping into a swimming pool, and observed the ground under his feet at a close distance that he had never seen in more than 40 years.

The moment they exited the cabin, their audio had also been connected to the live broadcast signal.

"Dongliang, can you see me?"

Fang Lin stood in front of the cabin door and said loudly on the radio:

"I saw you standing on the last gangway."

Zhang Zhiguang: "The landing leg sank into the ground about 10 centimeters, and I was standing 15 centimeters away from the lunar surface.

I saw sand, no, not like sand, more like rough metal particles, so rough and dense that I thought I might step in them. "

Fang Lin: "On your left is Explorer 9. It has stood up."

Explorer 9 does not have an AI that can think freely and can only do things according to orders. Obviously, 14 is controlling it.

Now it has stood up and moved carefully to the left front of Zhang Zhiguang, using a photoelectric detector to look at the creature representing the highest authority in the code.

It took Zhang Zhiguang 10 minutes from opening the hatch to the last step.

He had obviously rested sufficiently, but his breathing was still getting heavier.

"I'm going to the moon."

After saying this, Zhang Zhiguang raised his right foot and gently placed it on the moon under the gangway, and then pressed it hard.

This step made him fully aware of the solidity of the lunar soil under his feet. He left the armrest with both hands and stepped out with his left foot. Then he carefully raised his right foot and saw a very clear oversized footprint.

He looked up at the middle of the lander:

"My first step on the moon represents thousands of working people. This proves that the power and wisdom of working people are endless."

At 20:06 in the evening on July 4, 2017, 44 years, four months and seven days after the last human left the moon, humans landed on the moon again.

…

[Event: Space Race.

The event node has been updated: One of the participating parties used the Long March 10 rocket to send the integrated spacecraft into the lunar orbit, completing a lunar landing and an extravehicular walk.

Since some participating parties have completed the moon landing mission, statistics for the first phase of this event will be stopped before December 31, 2017;

Note: This event will greatly promote human space exploration in the long run. As one of the driving forces, the base will receive corresponding rewards after the end of the first phase;

The base has not yet conducted a successful manned moon landing, please complete it as soon as possible. 】

In the ground command center, the system's prompt tone was almost drowned out by the cheers here.

A large group of staff behind Lin Ju stood up excitedly and clapped and cheered as hard as they could in their lives. These sounds were also recorded by the microphone and played in the live broadcast.

Academician She did not stop cheering, and waited for a minute for the scene to quickly quiet down before picking up the microphone:

"Dongyao, your heart rate exceeds 70, adjust your body condition slightly, and then continue the walking task;

Good luck to you, over. "

"Dongyao understands!"

After Zhang Zhiguang answered the question, he calmed his breathing and walked to the side of Explorer 9. It felt amazing to stand with such an alien creature.

"You can come down to the cave. Do you remember the posture I just performed? Don't move too fast."

Fang Lin then started to go down the gangway like Zhang Zhiguang, moving slowly on the steps like a clumsy bear, and it took him three or four minutes to reach the ground.

To be honest, although the spacesuit I wear now is heavier than during extravehicular activities, precisely because there is a little gravity, I am not so constrained when I move, and it is very easy to do the movements.

It seemed a bit troublesome to lift his legs to walk, because it required human strength to assist the sole of the foot to fall, so he tried to stand on tiptoe and jump forward.

Just by exerting force on his toes, his whole body jumped up almost 30 centimeters and landed one meter away.

With a slightly heavy breathing, he stood up and raised his head:

“Look down at the bright moon and raise your head to think about your hometown;

Now I can turn Li Bai's poem upside down. "

After saying this, the audio between the two and the live broadcast was turned off. Zhang Zhiguang said with a smile:

"Our Aramco counterparts should also be landing. In fact, today is more meaningful for them."

"What's the point?"

"The day we set off was chosen by choice, but the day we landed happened to coincide with their national day, which was Independence Day."

"Ah, I forgot this!"
