Chapter 545 Countdown to Manned Moon Landing

On December 2024, 12, the capital ushered in the first heavy snowfall.

The heavy snow is flying, the sky and the earth are the same color, only snow is white!

Except for the snow removal on the main traffic arteries, other secondary roads and streets are blocked by heavy snow. People will choose to go out unless it is necessary, and others choose to stay at home.

Qin Yuanqing looked outside, the outside was covered in silver, there was thick snow, the branches were bent by the heavy snow, and the house was covered in heavy snow.

The children wore thick down jackets and had a great time playing snowball fights and making snowmen outside, while the adults watched from the sidelines and let the children have a good time.

Qin Yuanqing smiled.

Since he resigned from Mizuki's administrative position, his wife felt more and more inconvenient to live and work in the Shahe campus, so she slowly moved back to her home in the HD district. This year, she even returned the allocated villa in the Shahe campus to the school. .

Qin Yuanqing would not be unaccustomed to living in Lanhuayu'an. Thinking back to when he bought this villa, it cost a total of more than three million yuan, but now it has increased by ten times!
This is a major trend in the past ten years. With the development of the national economy, housing prices are also rising. It is impossible for houses to be like cabbage prices. They can be bought and sold at will. Look at other countries in the world, or housing prices Very high, or the house price is cheap but the related taxes are heavy, and the whole set is not cheap.

If you want to spend a little money to live in a good house and the surrounding supporting resources are good, it can only be said that you are thinking too much!
There has never been a free lunch in this world!
Looking at the goose-feather-like snowflakes floating in the sky, Qin Yuanqing's thoughts could not help but drift to the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, and he didn't know how the launch work there was preparing for the countdown to the manned moon landing project.

After decades of construction, there are 5 Huaxia Satellite Launch Centers, namely Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, Wenchang Launch Center and Huaxia Oriental Spaceport.

Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is one of the launch test bases for scientific satellites, technology test satellites and carrier rockets. It is the earliest and largest comprehensive missile and satellite launch center in China, as well as the only manned space launch site in China.The launch center covers an area of ​​about 2800 square kilometers. The surrounding terrain is flat and sparsely populated. It has an inland and desert climate. It is dry and rainless all year round. The spring and autumn are short, and the winter and summer are long. , The sunshine time is long, and there are about 300 days a year for launching tests.

The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center was founded in 1967. In 1968, the first medium-range launch vehicle designed and manufactured by Huaxia was successfully launched from this launch center.The launch center is more of an international commercial launch.

Xichang Satellite Launch Center was founded in 1970. It is a space launch base mainly responsible for launching satellites in geosynchronous orbit. It is responsible for the test launch and application launch tasks of communication, broadcasting, and meteorological satellites. The series of satellites of the Beidou navigation system are located in this launch center. The launch was also a relatively well-known launch center in China.

The Wenchang Satellite Launch Center is the southernmost of the Huaxia launch centers, with a dimension of about 19°30″. It is the latest launch center to be built. The launch center is built to adapt to the sustainable development strategy of China's aerospace industry and meet the needs of the new generation. Non-toxic, non-polluting carrier rockets and new spacecraft launch missions. It mainly undertakes the launch missions of spacecraft such as geosynchronous orbit satellites, large-mass polar orbit satellites, large-tonnage space stations and deep space exploration satellites. In recent years, the milestone Launch missions are basically carried out at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center. For example, in June 2016, the Long March 6 carrier rocket newly developed by Huaxia Manned Space Engineering to launch a cargo spacecraft was ignited at this launch center. For example, in November 2016 Yuehuaxia's new generation of large-scale transport rocket "Long March 11" was also launched for the first time at the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, and later lunar probes "Chang'e [-]" and "Chang'e [-]" were also launched at the launch center.

This year's "Long March NO.15" carrier rocket, a super-heavy carrier rocket that shocked the world, was successfully ignited and launched here three times in a row. It will prepare a series of quantum communication satellites, navigation satellites, and core modules for the manned moon landing project. Send to the earth-moon orbit, orbit around the moon, and the expected landing point of the manned moon landing.

On January 2025, 1, the first manned moon landing will proceed as planned. This is a milestone step taken by Huaxia after the completion of the lunar exploration project'circling','falling', and'returning'. Huaxia has come to this step , we can see how much progress China has made in the aerospace field over the past 22 years.

Otherwise, there will be no manned moon landing at this time!
Now that there is only the last month left, the topic of manned moon landing in the whole society continues to heat up. No matter whether it is a mess in the entertainment circle or a big news happening in the world, it will not shake the manned moon landing. News, major media continue to take this opportunity to launch special articles on the history of human spaceflight, universal knowledge of the universe, and moon knowledge, making people more enthusiastic about the moon and the universe.

After all, it has been 52 years, a full half a century, since the legendary last manned landing on the moon.

When the United States announced the launch of the manned moon landing program a few years ago, people thought that it had launched a total of 7 manned moon landing spacecraft half a century ago. Except for the failure of "Apollo" 13, the remaining 6 Both times were a complete success. A total of 12 astronauts successfully landed on the moon and stayed on the moon for nearly 300 hours.Then its manned moon landing program will definitely be successful this time. After all, so many years ago, the technology of the United States has also made great progress, and the technology is even higher. As a result, it was unexpected that the whole world enjoyed the most grand fireworks in history together.

But now, Huaxia has launched a manned moon landing plan, which makes people see hope again.After all, in recent years, Huaxia's lunar exploration project "Chang'e" series of lunar probes has achieved remarkable results in successive battles.

If even its manned moon landing fails, then other countries will no longer have the courage to carry out manned moon landing plans.

Therefore, scientists and officials from all walks of life in various countries have paid great attention to this manned moon landing.

Qin Yuanqing asked the artificial intelligence to turn on the holographic projection, and then it was as if he was in the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center. He saw a huge and very huge rocket standing on the launch pad, waiting to be launched at any time.

Obviously, the manned moon landing project is still carried out as planned and has not changed.

With the previous three launch experiences of the 'Long March NO.15' super-heavy carrier rocket, Qin Yuanqing has full confidence in the 'Long March NO.15' carrier rocket that he led a group of people to build, and believes that this manned moon landing will be able to achieve success. A complete success.

Moreover, this manned moon landing is not only more symbolic than practical, but also carries many scientific research tasks, such as building a preliminary scientific research base, such as experimenting with plasma engines, although the five astronauts will only stay on the moon Three days, but they will need to complete nearly a hundred scientific research tasks in these three days.

As for lunar soil, China no longer needs it. The previous lunar exploration project brought back a large amount of lunar soil, enough for researchers to study.

Qin Yuanqing also used artificial intelligence to check the world's response to China's manned moon landing. Obviously, overseas people have very complicated feelings about China's manned moon landing. Fan.Some people are full of expectations, looking forward to the complete success of China's manned moon landing. Once successful, the world's aerospace industry will usher in a milestone node, opening the beginning of mankind's conquest of the moon.

And some people are already fantasizing that human beings have entered the era of interstellar immigration, developing planets and colonizing life planets in spaceships and space battleships.

In recent years, as human spaceflight activities have become more frequent, the interstellar science fiction market has become more and more popular in film and television works and literary works. There are many movies and TV dramas featuring Chinese people as the protagonists traveling to and exploring life planets in outer space.

"In the future, manned landing on the moon will become a daily routine, and I will also go to the moon to see this special planet!" Qin Yuanqing thought to himself.

The moon is very special. Many scientists believe that a large part of the reason why life on the earth can continue to this day should be attributed to the moon, because it is the existence of the moon that helps the earth block many waves from the universe. Huge meteorites, that is to say, the existence of the moon is equivalent to adding a shield outside the earth to block various meteorites from the universe. Otherwise, the earth will at least experience the same mass extinction as the dinosaur era many times.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the moon is the greatest gift from the universe to the earth!
Although the earth has been increasing its exploration of outer space in recent years, so far, no signs of life have been found in the entire solar system. It seems that the entire solar system has only one living planet like the earth. Even if the probe landed on Mars, it did not exist on Mars Find any signs of life, or proof that life once existed on Mars.

And various studies vaguely point to the fact that the earth can give birth to life, a big reason is because of the presence of the moon, and it is the moon that provides great help for the birth of life on the earth!

Qin Yuanqing is not sure if this statement is correct, but he always has a premonition that the moon is very special, as if it always has a unique attraction that attracts his attention.

However, in China, going to and from the moon has not been normalized, Qin Yuanqing will not joke about his life and go to the moon.

Really, China can't afford such a big loss!
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Qin Yuanqing still understands this truth.Qin Yuanqing will only enter the moon to see what is so special about the moon and why there are myths and legends about the moon all over the world, especially the special status of the moon in Chinese myths and legends, only if he is sure that he is safe enough!
