Rebirth of a technological power

Chapter 178 Landing on the Moon

Finally, it’s 9:00 Beijing time.

This was also the time when almost everyone in the world could watch the live broadcast of the moon landing.

Witnessed by viewers watching the live broadcast around the world, the huge space shuttle flew towards the moon.

During this period, all the various satellites orbiting the moon have been released.

There is a time delay between the Earth and the Moon.

But no one cares about this time delay.

The space shuttle is constantly decreasing in altitude and flying, and its speed is also decreasing.

Although this kind of moon landing will take more time, it will also allow everyone to see more of the moon.

Compared with the vitality of the earth, the moon appears desolate, with craters clearly visible.

"Dear viewers, our 'Chang'e' is about to arrive on the moon. We can clearly see the surface of the moon through the pictures. The exciting moment is about to come. We are finally going to land on the moon!"

An exciting moment is coming. In front of the TV and in the live broadcast room, more than 3 billion people around the world are paying attention to this matter.

"Moon, here we come."

"Chang'e, we are here!"

"Moon Rabbit, here we come!"

"Fairy Chang'e, Zhu Bajie is here!"

In the live broadcast room, comments like this are flooding the screen.

The speed continues to decrease, and has dropped to less than 500 km/h.

It is only 1,000 meters above the surface of the moon.

Finally, when we reached the planned landing site, the altitude was only 300 meters.

Powerful thrusters resist the moon's gravity.

Compared with the gravity of the earth, the moon's gravity is only one-sixth of the earth's. It does not require all engines to be fully turned on. Only a part of the engines is needed to make the huge 'Chang'e' fly as lightly as a weightless feather. Land vertically.

Choose this place because the geological conditions are better and not too soft.

What the audience saw was that the moon was extremely desolate and lifeless. It seemed like a void frozen in time. Everything was the same as it was tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even a few decades ago. Same as millions of years ago.

Desolation, vastness, silence, and dead silence are not at all like what is written in fairy tales. There is nothing here except gravels of all sizes.

"Dear viewers in front of the TV and in the live broadcast room, the place where the 'Chang'e' landed is the Mare Prosolis, and the Mare Prosolis is" the expert is introducing.

The so-called lunar maria does not refer to the real ocean on the moon. It is called a sea because in the field of vision of early observers, these areas were darker. When it was impossible to observe clearly at the time, according to the understanding of the earth , these areas are named seas, lakes, bays, etc., and some are also called moon marshes.

Later, with the advancement of science and technology, people gradually realized that these areas were actually relatively low-lying areas on the moon, and they were vast and broad plain areas on the moon.

There are 22 recognized maria on the moon, most of which are located on the side facing the Earth.

The Oceanus Procellarum is the largest of the lunar seas, covering five million square kilometers, which is larger than half of our country.

The resources in the Procellarum area are extremely rich. Not only does it contain a large amount of ilmenite, but the iron ore resources contained in the lunar basalt alone exceed 100 trillion tons, and they are basically high-grade iron ore, which can be easily exploded. Iron ore resources on earth.

In addition to iron ore, copper, aluminum, magnesium, gold, silver, manganese, etc. are extremely rich in various resources. It is definitely a natural treasure house.

Of course, the truly valuable resources on the moon are rare earths and he3.

The importance of rare earths is self-evident. It is an indispensable resource for modern electronic technology, military technology, etc. It is also extremely expensive. The various rare elements contained in it are necessities for modern technology.

As a strategic resource, rare earth reserves on the earth are very rare. The proven reserves of the entire earth are only 130 million tons. However, the rare earth resources on the moon exceed 100 billion tons, which is several times the reserves on the earth. hundred times.

He3 is the most ideal material for nuclear fusion. It can release powerful energy during nuclear fusion without causing any radiation hazards.

It is considered by scientists to be the most important and ideal energy source in future technology, but its reserves on the earth are very rare, and they are all in the vast ocean, making it difficult to mine at all.

But on the moon, the reserves of he3 are astonishing. The entire earth has less than one ton of he3, but the reserves on the moon exceed one million tons. It is hailed by scientists as the energy bank for future human navigation of the universe.

If you want to develop lunar resources in the future, you must first occupy the area with the richest resources and the largest area on the moon!

"Earth Command Center, Earth Command Center~~"

"Chang'e has landed successfully, Chang'e has landed successfully!"

"Everything is fine, everything is fine!"

"Ask for instructions, ask for instructions!"

"According to plan, execute as planned!"

Afterwards, the astronauts put on their space suits and quickly checked their space suits and equipment in preparation for landing on the moon.

Under the gaze of everyone, the hatch of the Chang'e slowly opened.

Astronaut Liu Yang was the first to step out of the hatch. Then, recorded by a high-definition camera and watched by more than three billion people on Earth, she gently stepped on the lunar soil, leaving a clear footprint on it. .

"Wow~~"

In the ground command center, after seeing the footprints left by Liu Yang, everyone in the entire hall stood up excitedly, waves of applause continued, and many people couldn't help but hug the people around them.

"yeah!"

Cheers instantly spread to every corner of China, and waves of applause quickly spread to every corner in the blink of an eye.

Today, many people choose to stay in front of the TV at home, some go to coffee shops, and some places even play it directly on the TV for customers to watch.

Looking at the picture on the screen, I straightened my chest proudly and couldn't help but cheer and applaud.

In each live broadcast room, flowers and firecrackers exploded, various gifts made the live broadcast room bloom colorfully, and various congratulatory messages flashed on the screen.

After many years, China finally landed on the moon.

Although we are not the first to land on the moon, for us, this is already a huge progress in history. It is a moment that is always worth writing into history. It is also a milestone in China's journey to the stars and the sea.

Liu Yang held a red flag, raised it high, and waved it, announcing that we had finally arrived on the moon.

Then he walked to a place not far from Chang'e, inserted the red flag into the ground, and saluted deeply.

"Reporting to the motherland, astronaut Liu Yang has landed on the moon!"
