Great Country Academician

In the lounge, the air was quiet.

The three astronauts sat in different positions to recharge their batteries. In one hour, they should board the plane and complete their mission.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling for a long time, Zhai Zhigang, who was the commander of the astronaut team for this manned lunar landing, opened his eyes and looked at his two teammates.

"Are you all ready?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Dong, who was sorting out the aerospace training in his mind, opened his eyes, looked at Zhai Zhigang, and grinned: "Of course!"

On the side, Liu Yang also nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Looking at the two team members, Zhai Zhigang took a deep breath and continued: "This mission is completely different from the past. The mission we are going to carry out ends on the moon. No one knows what it is like 380,000 kilometers away. Yes, I don’t know if I can come back from this mission, the risk factor.”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yang sitting opposite: "Don't think about it, I won't quit anyway!"

After a slight pause, she continued: "No matter what, I will be the first Chinese female astronaut to land on the moon!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yang sighed slightly in his heart.

In this new generation of space race, the reason why NASA scheduled the launch of the Artemis spacecraft three days ago and sent a woman among the four astronauts was not just to seize the opportunity. Competing for a host of other firsts, such as the first woman to set foot on the moon, also plays a role.

Originally, this opportunity should have belonged to her. She was supposed to be the first woman to land on the moon in the world, but unfortunately, she was preempted by NASA in the end.

But it’s pretty cool to be the first Chinese woman to set foot on the moon!

There was no way she would let this opportunity go. There were substitutes outside looking at her eagerly, and they were not the only ones receiving training.

On the side, Chen Dong also smiled and said: "Captain, there is no need for you to say such things. I can sit here today, but many people outside are envious of this opportunity."

Hearing this, Zhai Zhigang nodded and gave no further advice.

Before becoming astronauts, everyone was born in the Air Force. Not to mention other things, at least their will is absolutely strong enough.

Landing on the moon and leaving the footprints of China and Chinese civilization on the moon is their mission!

No matter how dangerous the whole process is, no matter how much effort it takes, and no matter whether it costs their lives, they will never back down!

At this moment, the bell rang in the lounge.

Hearing the sound, Zhai Zhigang took a deep breath, stood up calmly, and led the team outside.

Under the starry sky, move forward bravely!

It's their turn!

At the space center, on the wide runway, the huge Xinghai stayed quietly on the ground.

The long, narrow and spacious boarding ramp was slowly and steadily docked towards the space shuttle's boarding gate under the control of automated equipment.

Next to the spacious launch site, CTV's live camera truck immediately handed over the lens, and three astronauts were seen walking from the ramp to the space shuttle.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yutong, who hosted the live broadcast, had excitement on her face. She held the microphone and quickly introduced:

"Dear viewers, the three astronauts boarding the plane from the gangway are the three astronauts of this manned moon landing project. They are Zhai Zhigang, Chen Dong, and Liu Yang!"

"According to our previous interview with the staff at the Space Base of the Xinghai Academy of Aerospace Research, this moon landing will be officially launched in an hour, and the end target will be the 'Chang'e 3 lander' and the 'Yutu lunar rover' The surrounding area that has been explored has a beautiful name, 'Guanghan Palace'."

In the live broadcast room, the atmosphere became high again.

Watching the boarding screen on their TVs, mobile phones and computers, netizens in front of the screens also became excited.

[Go, go, go! Give it to me! 】

【Moon! I am coming! 】

[Zhai Zhigang, Chen Dong, Liu Yang, and Ma Ye are all top astronauts who have ever served as commanders and navigators! 】

[Hello everyone, actually... I am Chang'e, and I am waiting for you on the moon! 】

[Rabbit, stay here and don’t move around. I’ll plant an orange tree for you first!]

[Shit, I think I saw the God of Sichuan? He seemed to be watching the astronauts board the plane! 】

[Where, where, where? 】

[On the side of the gangway, on the second floor, next to the glass, is that the God of Sichuan? 】

Discussions continued in the live broadcast room. After watching the three astronauts board the plane, some keen viewers noticed Xu Chuan who was standing on the second floor platform watching the astronauts board the plane.

Standing next to the spacious launch site, the photographer in charge of controlling the camera car didn't know whether he had received instructions from CTV or had a tacit understanding. He quickly controlled the camera car and pointed the lens at the second floor.

On the second floor, in front of the glass on the boarding side of the gangway, after watching the three astronauts complete boarding, Xu Chuan was about to turn around and leave when he saw the camera lens facing him.

Smiling and waving to the camera, which could be regarded as saying hello to the audience in the live broadcast room, he turned and walked towards the main control center.

Little did he know that this greeting immediately caused huge waves in the live broadcast room.

【Fuck! It’s really the God of Sichuan! 】

[The old man even said hello to us! 】

[Hahahaha, I just said it, at such a young age, still standing there watching the astronauts go to heaven, he must be the God of Sichuan! 】

[Awesome, when will CTV give us a live interview with Sichuan God? 】

[I heard that Sichuan God doesn’t have a girlfriend yet, for the sake of the country’s fertility plan! I voluntarily sign up! 】

【Me me me! I can too! 】

[You guys upstairs are overthinking. Do you think God of Sichuan can’t find a girlfriend? No, he likes Blue Friend! 】

【Then I can! (ov)ノ】

【? ? ? ? 】

On the other side, the main control center.

After Zhai Zhigang and other three astronauts boarded the space shuttle, the connection between Xinghai and the general control center was quickly established.

"Xinghai! Call Xinghai, this is the general control center."

"Roger, this is the Xinghai."

"Please complete the inspection according to the manual and report the situation!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhai Zhigang and his teammates quickly checked the overall condition of the Xinghai according to the take-off manual.

"The Xinghai is currently in good condition and we are ready!"

"Wait for instructions!"

"yes!"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Zhai Zhigang took a deep breath and stared at the beating electronic clock on the dashboard. Every time the numbers changed, it was like his heartbeat.

Slowly, the time has reached eleven thirty.

In the headphones, the voice of the control center sounded again.

"This is the general control center. The current aerospace work is ready to be completed. Please Xinghai work according to the established instructions!"

"receive!"

After a quick report, Zhai Zhigang turned his head and glanced at Chen Dong, who was sitting in the passenger seat. They looked at each other and nodded. After confirming that the other party was fully prepared, he reached out and pressed the round red button. button.

At this moment, with the heating of the ICRF antenna, the small reactor placed in the core cabin woke up from its slumber.

With the operation of the small reactor, the critical point has been reached. The external power input is cut off, the fusion reactor current cycle is established, and the magnetic fluid generator set is quickly converted into a huge supply of electrical energy to all parts of the space shuttle, and begins to be deployed at the tail of the Xinghai. The aerospace engine delivers huge amounts of energy.

Time passed bit by bit, and when the output of the small reactor stabilized, a narrow red-purple flame lit up at the tail of the Xinghai.

In this late night, this bright light was particularly bright, swaying behind the Xinghai, making it look like a phoenix, which aroused the admiration of countless netizens.

On the runway, inside the Xinghai cockpit, looking at the steadily rising data on the instrument panel and screen, Zhai Zhigang took a deep breath, reached out and tapped the side of the spacesuit helmet, and said in a clear voice:

"Call the control center. This is the Xinghai. The fusion device has been ignited successfully and the aerospace engine is operating normally. All preparations are in place and ready to take off! Request instructions."

In the headset, a young voice came clearly.

"This is the control center. The moon landing project will start on time in three minutes according to the instructions! Please prepare Xinghai!"

"receive!"

Three minutes was not long. While Zhai Zhigang was silently waiting for the countdown in the headset, he held the joystick tightly with one hand and rested his hand on the engine's power propulsion device.

Although normally, both takeoff and return would be completed under the control of the intelligent flight control system, he was still ready to accept everything.

"10."

"9."

"8."

"."

"3."

"2."

"1."

"Xinghai, set sail!"

As the order was issued, under the command and control of the control center and onboard supercomputer, the output power of the small reactor increased rapidly. Energy as majestic as the sea poured out of the small fusion reactor and turned into the driving force that propelled the space shuttle forward.

The purple-red tail flame continued to lengthen, and a short time passed. The Xinghai, which stayed on the wide and straight runway, began to move forward.

The huge fuselage carries the mission and continues to accelerate forward, and the speed becomes faster and faster.

When the critical point is reached, the beautiful Xinghai is like a phoenix, its tail feathers blooming with brilliant colors in the sky, swaying gently in the wind, injecting a touch of poetry into this quiet world, and also placing people's trust in it. The vision for a better future.

PS: There will be more in the afternoon, please give me a monthly pass.
