Chapter 209 Looking Up At The Starry Sky For Thousands Of Years, Congratulations To Xia Guo's A
12 o'clock noon.
The whole country is paying attention to the latest progress of manned moon landing.
At this time, the moon in the field of vision is already so huge that it can be seen clearly with the eyes.
On the moon, there is no Guanghan Immortal Palace in myths and stories, there is no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit, only barrenness, silence, and craters.
"Attention everyone! Start slowing down in 5 minutes!"
After hearing the sound.
All the astronauts on the Yinhe 1 moon landing spacecraft began to get nervous.
When the spacecraft arrives at the moon, whether it can be captured by the moon's gravity is a very critical step, which is directly related to the success or failure of Xia Guo's manned moon landing plan.
In the ground control center.
Scientists and engineers use artificial intelligence and quantum computers to continuously conduct simulations to ensure that the spacecraft can smoothly decelerate, be captured by the moon's gravity, and enter the lunar orbit smoothly.
five minutes later.
The ion engine on the spacecraft began to slow down.
As the speed decreases, the moon is already close at hand.
12:20.
The Yinhe 1 lunar landing spacecraft successfully entered the lunar orbit.
Everyone in the ground control command center couldn't help cheering.
They all know that as long as they enter the lunar orbit, it means a successful landing on the moon.
above the moon.
The Yinhe 1 lunar landing spacecraft did not land on the moon immediately, but constantly adjusted its orbit at 370°.
At the same time, the hatch of the spacecraft opened slowly, and satellites were released one by one.
These satellites, including communication satellites, scientific satellites, military satellites, weather satellites, resource satellites, interstellar satellites, laser satellites, navigation satellites, reconnaissance satellites, lunar satellites, medical satellites, quantum satellites, etc., constitute a huge lunar satellite network.
The existence of anti-gravity spacecraft makes launching satellites as simple as eating and drinking water, and rockets are no longer needed.
The formation of the lunar satellite network can play the roles of positioning, communication, reconnaissance, exploration, temperature measurement, etc., which is very important for the establishment of a lunar base.
13 o'clock in the afternoon.
The exciting moment has finally arrived.
Countless office workers in the country go to work openly to catch fish and watch the live broadcast of the moon landing.
With the order from the ground command center.
The Yinhe-1 lunar landing satellite swooped down from the lunar orbit towards the lunar north pole.

Zhuang Xiaoying is interviewing a lunar scientist.
She asked: "Professor Huo, may I ask where we landed, is there any particularity?"
"Of course there is!"
Professor Huo replied: "The polar regions of the moon are the most suitable regions for building lunar bases.
The lunar base is built in the lunar pole area, which can make better use of solar energy resources.
Day and night on our planet alternate every 12 hours.
On the moon, day and night alternate every 15 days.
If the base is built in the polar region, there is no need to worry about energy issues.
Zhuang Xiaoying asked again: "Besides energy, is there any consideration for us to choose the location at the North Pole of the Moon?"
Professor Huo Kepu said: "There are three main considerations.
First, the north pole region of the moon is a strategically important area.
According to international rules, the ball belongs to all mankind.
Adhering to the principle of first-come-first-served, the North Pole region of the moon will become an enclave of Xia Kingdom.
Any individual or country that wants to enter this area needs to go through the diplomatic application channel.
Second, there is water ice in the north polar region of the moon.
After we establish a lunar base here, we can start mining water resources.
If the water resources are completely resolved, it is no longer a luxury to immigrate to the moon in the future.
Third, there is a huge lava tube in the north polar region of the moon, which can also be called a lava cave.
In the early days of the moon, volcanic activity was active and magma flowed, forming many underground lava caves.
There has been no geological movement on the moon for a long time now, so the lava caves in ancient times have been preserved to this day.
When we explored the moon before, we found a lava cave with a very large underground area and a stable structure.
It has a maximum length of 40 kilometers and a width of nearly 300 meters, which is enough for us to build a space base and even accommodate 1 million people to work and live here.
In addition, because the lava cave is located relatively deep underground, it can withstand various secondary radiation from the universe, cosmic meteorite collisions, and huge temperature changes. "
Hear Professor Huo's popular science.
Not only Zhuang Xiaoying understood.
The audience in front of the TV and the netizens in the live broadcast room all understand (cfai) the various benefits of choosing the North Pole for the moon base.
The eyes of the whole world are watching.
The Yinhe-1 lunar landing spacecraft slowly landed on the surface of the lunar North Pole.
The spaceship is so light that it doesn't seem to have any weight.
At this point, the screen stops changing.
F.
The most exciting moment has come!
At this time, the 24 astronauts in the spacecraft were all fully dressed and stood at the hatch door, ready to land on the moon at any time.
As the earth command center came the order to land on the moon.
The hatch was slowly opened.
The sun shines in from outside.
Without the weakening of the atmosphere, the sunlight on the moon is very dazzling.
Fortunately, the astronauts are all wearing spacesuits and are not afraid of sunlight.
Soon, the camera switched to the camera outside the lunar spacecraft.
The camera is aimed at the position of the hatch.
I saw 24 astronauts walking down one by one.
When they held the five-star red flag in their hands and erected it on the lunar soil, the entire Xia Kingdom was completely boiling, and everyone screamed and cheered.
at the same time.
The major cities in the Xia Kingdom have already fallen into a sea of cheers.
Countless balloons rose into the sky to celebrate this historic moment!
Astronauts landed on the moon.
Three thousand galactic space intelligent robots swarmed out.
They moved out the various materials carried by the Yinhe 1 lunar landing spacecraft, went to the lava cave, and built the lunar base in an orderly manner.
In the holographic screen.
With tears in her eyes, Zhuang Xiaoying choked with sobs and said: "Our Xia Kingdom's manned spaceflight industry has achieved unprecedented achievements, and it has written a magnificent poem of Zhenguo's continuous self-improvement.
Manned landing on the moon is a great achievement that has not been achieved by the Xia Kingdom's five thousand years of civilization.
And pass in front of Chang'e Gate, and reach the middle reaches of the Jade Emperor Palace!
We did it!
Xia Guo did it!
From now on, Xia Guohui will continue to carry out incomprehensible exploration and pursuit in the high-tech field of aerospace industry..."
on the internet.
Netizens sang and danced, with gongs and drums blaring.
"Tears! Our generation of Chinese children has climbed into the vast starry sky that our ancestors have looked up to for thousands of years!"
"The sons and daughters of the Xia Kingdom are so ambitious, walk in the rich river sky, and pay tribute to all the aerospace heroes of the Xia Kingdom!"
"Congratulations to the Yinhe 1 moon landing spacecraft! Congratulations to Xia Guo's aerospace industry!"
"It's awesome! I'm proud of our country from the bottom of my heart!"
After Zhuang Xiaoying calmed down.
She continued: "In the past, rockets sent supplies to the sky, which cost a lot of money.
The cost of each rocket can easily be hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars.
In addition to the high cost, the safety is also relatively low.
Then add space transportation and equipment maintenance costs.
The overall expenditure in the aerospace field can be called astronomical.
But... from now on, we have the Galaxy 1 moon landing spacecraft.
It can go back and forth between the earth and the moon continuously, and the cost of spaceflight will become cheaper and cheaper.
From now on, Xia will develop emerging industries such as space energy, space agriculture, space industry, space commerce, space medical treatment, moon mining, and interstellar mining, and move towards the real sea of stars!".
