Super technology leader

"Super HD is just awesome, amazing!"

"The little shovel in super HD is even cuter, I'll definitely buy a figure if they release one!"

"It's a pity that there was no lunar rover this time. If there was a lunar rover, we could have had a two-rover photo shoot."

"The grabber scooped five times in total. How much lunar soil did it get? Is it 500 grams?"

"I don't know, but the competition requires the sample weight to exceed 100 grams. 'Kan Yue-1' definitely exceeded that, at least 3 or 400 grams."

"I found my name, haha, it's so clear. Mom, I've landed on the moon!!"

"Now there's only the last step left, waiting for the returner to land safely. By the way, when does the returner re-enter?"

"Tomorrow at 1 PM, Dongfeng Landing Site, the same place where the experimental return capsule of the new generation manned spacecraft landed last time."

"Hehehe, I didn't expect the test launch to be a direct success. This is too awesome. What are the other participating teams supposed to do?"

"Who cares about them? It's their fault for not having good technology. Now 'Kan Yue-1' just needs to hold on for a little bit longer. Once it lands safely, we'll get tens of millions of dollars."

"This design, manufacturing, and launch process must have cost more than that little bonus. The key is the subsequent lunar landing contract with the Americans, but with the current situation, will the Americans fulfill their promise?"

"Holy crap, now that you mention it, this situation is a bit delicate..."

It was indeed quite delicate, and many people had thought of this.

Especially the major private aerospace companies and the American government, they were the most embarrassed.

Originally, almost everyone thought that the top few places in this competition would be taken by the teams from the major private aerospace companies. After all, they had the strongest strength, and they had been researching lunar landing equipment for a long time. In at most a year, they could conduct lunar landing tests.

Even with the later emergence of "Simon Transportation," this large team, affiliated with Simon Space Transportation and formed by the merger of several small teams, was not considered a threat.

Although Simon was full of confidence, not many people were optimistic about them.

They combined too late.

Even if they didn't consider the later usage and only created a lunar landing device specifically for the competition, it would still take a year.

In the best-case scenario, their lunar landing device could be manufactured at the same time as those of the major companies, but they didn't have a rocket.

If they wanted to launch, they would have to go to those major companies.

Private aerospace companies in other countries had plans to develop large-payload rockets, but none of them could be realized in a year.

Around the same time, the American major company teams also wanted to launch and win rankings. What do you think they would choose?

And Tang Chao's "Canxing Lunar Landing Department" team had a similar, or even worse, initial situation.

In the beginning, his team was just regarded as a way to adjust the atmosphere of the competition.

The review staff also thought so. They were quite happy when they approved it at the time, feeling that they had provided an extra highlight for the competition.

[A group of game players with lunar landing dreams!]

When they came, they might demonstrate how to land on the moon in the game.

Perhaps they could also make demonstration videos for those teams that really had the ability to land on the moon, which would also be a good path.

Hahaha.

But later, with the performance of the "Canxing Lunar Landing Department," they didn't find it funny anymore.

The detailed plan was approved.

The on-site meeting was attended.

Some technologies were verified.

The promotional video was filmed.

As Tang Chao's team displayed more and more technologies and parts, and the rocket and probe were forming very quickly, and finally even their huge factory appeared, they could no longer laugh.

The review staff felt that they seemed to have dug a pit for themselves, no, they had dug a big pit for all the competition teams.

Even if the "Canxing Lunar Landing Department" was a European team, or even a Sakura Country or Mao Xiong team, they would have accepted it. After all, these countries had cooperation with the United States in international space.

However, this team belonged to Tianxia.

The United States had specifically promulgated a clause prohibiting the American Aerospace Agency from engaging in any form of cooperation with Tianxia. Scientists at the American Aerospace Agency had opposed it, believing that only cooperation could better develop space.

But their opposition was ineffective, and the clause eventually took effect.

Perhaps in the beginning, Tianxia really didn't have the strength and qualifications to cooperate with the United States. Any cooperation would result in the United States losing and Tianxia gaining. But later, Tianxia's development became faster and faster, and its aerospace technology also developed in a decent manner. Even if it wasn't particularly advanced, it was close.

But at this time, the United States had completely regarded Tianxia as an opponent and was even less likely to cooperate, at least not in the short term.

The Lunar Grand Prix was still a competition, and people from all over the world could participate, including private companies from Tianxia.

But the United States' return to the moon, or even the manned return to the moon, must not allow a Tianxia company to get the contract.

In the current situation, no one hopes for the failure of Kan Yue-1's return more than the official American institutions.

If it failed, it would naturally be excellent for them, and they wouldn't have to find an excuse to renege on their previous promise.

Although they had gone back on their word many times, and their words were like farts.

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!

But if possible, they would still boast about their ability to keep their word, even if they only kept it once out of ten times, their confidence would increase tenfold when bragging.

"Fail, fail, it must fail!"

Unfortunately, under the attention of the world, the re-entering Kan Yue-1 returner was quickly captured by radar, and then the search and rescue team rushed to the scene with the Tang Chao team, the journalist team, and the Lunar Grand Prix team as soon as possible.

The infrared image of the return was directly connected to the live broadcast. In the black and gray sky, there was only that white light, dragging a long, straight tail flame, with unparalleled momentum, easily reminding people of a meteorite entering the atmosphere.

Facts proved that it was not a meteorite, but a controllable landing device.

Then came the helicopter's picture. Everyone watched as the returner opened its parachute and landed steadily at the Dongfeng Landing Site.

Then Tang Chao and others arrived by car, and the super-clear live broadcast screen went online again.

Since there were no super-precise instruments or astronauts in the return capsule, only some soil and beacons, its landing program was quite violent in order to reduce weight.

When Tang Chao and others arrived, the staff on the helicopter had already put away the parachute, waiting only for the Star Navigator Company's opening personnel to open the capsule.

The return capsule was very small, only a little bigger than an aluminum pot for cooking at home. In the sight of all the live broadcast viewers and the Lunar Grand Prix on-site review staff, the hatch of the return capsule was opened, and a sealed metal can the size of a canned bottle was taken out.

It was full of lunar soil!

At that moment, except for a small number of people, everyone gave warm applause.

Even the viewers watching the live broadcast applauded unconsciously.

Of course, the barrage could not stop.

[Awesome, this is definitely a prize for opening the capsule. As soon as the hatch is opened, the first prize is in hand.]

[Hahaha, what you said is not accurate, it is recommended to change it to 'prize for opening the can', so that it is smooth.]

Some were excited, and some were not excited, or even unhappy, such as the "small number of people", namely the Lunar Grand Prix officials, the American Aerospace Agency officials, and the American officials.

Of course, this "official" refers to some politicians in charge, not those scientists.

Most of the relevant scientists and engineers who knew and followed this matter sent questions to express their congratulations, calling it another milestone in human aerospace history.

Tang Chao got the lunar soil here, but the live broadcast did not end. They planned to go to the nearest research institute to verify the authenticity of these lunar soils in the presence of live viewers and Grand Prix officials.

Then, without any objection, win the first place in this competition!

On the other side, three anxious officials have started an online meeting.

Now they have no illusions, the lunar soil must be real, so they need to start from other places to block the possibility of this Tianxia team getting the American lunar landing order.

The American lunar landing plan must not be entrusted to Tianxia!

Thanks to Otaku's Confusion, SAS Special Forces, a bunch of bubbles floating up, and seeing the ordinary for the reward, thank you~
