Chapter 272 Live broadcast of the moon landing(1/2)
"At an altitude of 35,000 kilometers, it is about to enter the Tiangong space station."
In the ground station control center, Xu Lei and others, who had been waiting for more than an hour, suddenly focused their attention after hearing the car status report from the communicator.
at the same time.
The astronauts stationed in the space station are also paying attention to the trajectory of the space elevator.
When the space elevator enters the final distance, the speed gradually decreases, and finally slowly climbs to the terminal platform in the middle of the space station.
It stopped steadily.
"Tiangong report."
"The space elevator has successfully entered the station. I am astronaut Nie Huamao. We are unloading the cargo!"
The report from the space station arrived at the Dentian Island control center, and the material removal and unloading work of the space elevator officially began.
The mechanical arm on Tiangong transports cargo into the space station under the control of astronauts. At the same time, the space robots in the car are also controlled to leave the cabin. Next, they will cooperate with the astronauts to complete their missions.
So far, the first operational test of the space elevator has been a complete success, which indicates that the cost of going to space in the future will drop from tens of millions to hundreds of millions to a few thousand yuan.
The value is absolutely immeasurable.
The personnel in the Dengtian Island control center who had paid close attention to the whole process could finally relax their tense bodies at this time.
"It's done." Wu Chuping, who suddenly felt exhausted after relaxing, still said this softly at this time, without concealing the excitement and excitement on his face.
Xu Lei turned around, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I declare that the space elevator operation test was a complete success!"
"We made it!"
As Xu Lei finished speaking, the engineers in the control center cheered loudly, happy that they had completed the first engineering miracle in the history of human development.
The warm cheers lasted for more than ten seconds before Xu Lei raised his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard these past two days. Let's take a good rest and recharge our batteries. There is still a tough battle waiting for us next."
Where are we?" As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Chuping next to him: "Commander Wu must be very sleepy, so it's better to go and rest quickly."
"You may not be able to fall asleep now, and besides, you have been staring here much longer than me." Wu Chuping said in a hearty voice.
Of course, this sentence is not wrong.
In order to ensure that the main body of the space elevator was successfully spliced and that there were no problems in the first operational test, so as not to affect this rare opportunity to increase its influence, Xu Lei almost launched the rocket from the transport cable in Changhai without sleeping much.
My physical condition is indeed quite exhausted at this moment.
But as Wu Chuping said, if you are extremely excited, you may not be able to sleep at all.
However, when Xu Lei was about to change his mind and solve the problem of hunger first, Wu Chuping's voice rang in his ears again.
"Academician Xu."
"Now that the space elevator has successfully passed the test, is it time for our moon landing plan to start?"
When Xu Lei heard the word moon landing, his heart suddenly moved.
He knew that the space agency had now completed the seven-person Shenzhou spacecraft, as well as the Yutu lunar module and the life capsule that allowed astronauts to temporarily stay on the moon.
Now that the space elevator has been successfully completed, it can be said that everything is ready to start.
And with the efficient and powerful transportation capabilities of the space elevator, the construction of a lunar base can be directly carried out even for the first moon landing.
After all, they had already launched a probe to the moon before, basically determined the construction area of the base, and ensured that the underground resources would be very rich.
Another point is that Mars has also revealed in the past few days that the plan to conquer the moon will be officially launched soon. In this case, the domestic moon landing mission must be carried out as quickly as possible.
Xu Lei's mind was running at high speed and he quickly came up with a plan.
He is undoubtedly very supportive of the moon landing, so why would he expect to gain influence through the live broadcast of the moon landing?
Since Wu Chuping took the initiative to bring it up at this time, it would be better to finalize the time first, and then start preparations.
"Then let's set it on the 10th. I believe people are almost impatient to wait." Xu Lei pretended to think and then gave a time.
Wu Chuping nodded directly and said: "I will inform you later. After dedicating so many years of youth to the aerospace industry, we can finally realize our longing and dream of landing on the moon."
In the eyes of overseas forces, manned landing on the moon is to develop lunar resources and prepare for entering space for future battlefields. However, in the hearts of Chinese people, it contains a beautiful yearning, which can even be said to be an obsession.
The two are completely different.
And just when the time for manned moon landing was finalized in Xu Lei and Wu Chuping's mouth, the world's longest live broadcast, which lasted for more than 300 days, finally came to an end. However, despite the live broadcast for such a long time, the audience still felt that they were still unfinished.
I felt that I had no choice but to switch to major domestic video platform websites.
Edit and upload some live broadcast footage, and create second editions to meet the needs of the audience.
In addition, media organizations such as China News Service and People's Daily reported on the space elevator immediately and released a large number of internal high-definition pictures, and the discussion of the topic skyrocketed.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you don't mention the space elevator when chatting online, it is equivalent to having just connected to the Internet at home.
At the same time, the popularity of the space elevator on the Internet is not bad at all. After seeing the successful operation of the future technology space elevator with their own eyes, they have long forgotten their own moon landing mission a few months ago.
Almost all of them are discussing the awesomeness of the space elevator.
He was envious of Yan State for having such a super project, and believed that the hope for the future development of human civilization must lie in the East.
But as the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried.
Hayden and Marsen, who originally watched the live broadcast and waited for the future technology space elevator project to make a fool of themselves, found out that the operation test had finally been successfully passed. They only felt that their cheeks had been slapped several times, and they were so hot.
Feeling distressed.
No one thought that the cable synthesized by future technology in a short period of time would be so powerful that it could successfully operate the space elevator.
And there doesn't seem to be any problem.
This alone is enough to prove the awesomeness of the cable material.
Even if they are reluctant to admit that they have made serious mistakes in their judgment, they cannot change the fact that what has happened now.
The whole person temporarily entered a sluggish state, staring blankly at the live broadcast that had long since disappeared.
"How could this be true? It is impossible to develop materials for space elevator cables. Is it possible that the material level of future technology has far exceeded this era?"
A variety of slightly chaotic thoughts flashed rapidly in Marsen's mind, making him seem mentally confused and unable to accept the result.
If before he regarded his company as an ordinary building and compared future technology to a skyscraper, now he truly understands that future technology has already reached the height of space.
Skyscrapers may still have a chance to catch up, but the vast starry sky is completely out of reach.
When he wanted to understand this fact, the last bit of strength in Masen's body seemed to be taken away, and his whole body collapsed on the sofa like a deflated rubber ball.
There was no longer any fighting spirit in his eyes.
On the other hand, after Hayden's eyes gradually regained clarity, he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the commander-in-chief was right to prepare two execution plans. I will go to Washington to report the situation immediately." After that, he said no more. He hesitated and hurriedly walked outside.
But when he reached the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped again.
"You'd better be prepared, I'm afraid our cooperation will be suspended." Hayden turned around again and reminded Marsen.
Of course, Marsne also knows what this sentence means.
At present, Future Technology's space elevator is successfully operating, which is equivalent to pressing the accelerator button for the development of its own aerospace industry. I believe that soon the forces in the aerospace business will find Yanfang and Future Technology to seek cooperation. If they want to make their second If the package is successfully implemented and successfully bound to the space elevator, then it will definitely not cooperate with its own space exploration technology company again.
However, he knew exactly what the situation would be like, but he couldn't do anything to change it.
…
The main body splicing task of the space elevator ended successfully, and Xu Lei also spent a few days of uniquely comfortable days on the Sky Island.
Every day, they would either take Cheng Fei, Gu Sanlin Xingtong and the others to the beach on the edge of the island to catch the sea, or they would take a boat directly to the sea to catch seafood. If you don't know, you might think that you have booked a private island for vacation here.
Mainly, Binjiang City has a special geographical location. It takes 700 to 800 kilometers to travel to the nearest seaside, making it very inconvenient to travel back and forth.
So Xu Lei had never been there when he was in Binjiang City.
Now that I finally have the opportunity to live on the island, I must enjoy it to the fullest.
Moreover, you must know that the sea environment in the north does not have the sunny beaches near the equator. It is no exaggeration to say that they are completely two different oceans.
Fortunately, Xingtong's body has special muscle and skin tissue materials, so it is no problem even if she swims in sea water, so I can safely take her out to sea.
In fact, Xu Lei had thought about returning to Binjiang City at the beginning. After all, with a space elevator, landing on the moon would definitely go smoothly. In addition, the quantum relay station has already entered space. He can always grasp the latest situation and give command wherever he is.
But later, considering that the entire moon landing would be broadcast live this time, I decided to stay on Landing Island for a few more days.
Who allowed him to control his consciousness and enter the hall of the Science and Technology Museum to check his influence, and he became more and more fond of this way of increasing his influence.
After all, he is still only 300,000 yuan away from unlocking new exhibits.
——
Monday, October 5th.
The space agency officially released a description of the moon landing mission. The announcement stated that in five days, four astronauts will be dispatched to enter the Tiangong Space Station via a space elevator, and then separate from the Shenzhou spacecraft and rush to the moon.
In addition to normal moon landings, astronauts will also live and build temporary bases on the lunar surface.
As soon as this news came out, the country was instantly enveloped in surprise.
People only feel unprecedented excitement and excitement, and under the leadership of Future Technology and officials, various institutions and companies have announced that the holiday will be extended by one week.
Let everyone watch this moon landing event with peace of mind.
Because the announcement also pointed out at the end that the lunar landing mission will be broadcast live from multiple perspectives, and it has been confirmed by future technology.
