Chapter 603 The second manned moon landing (3)

2027, December 31, the last day of 2027, tomorrow the calendar will turn to the year 2028.

In the past, boys and girls would spend this special day together in a hotel, and people would be busy taking a three-day New Year's Day holiday.

But today, it is different. People are watching the live broadcast of the launch of the Chang'e 2 spacecraft. Under the cameras of the media, the huge body of the Long March 15 carrier rocket, as well as the rocket that has been carried on the Long March 15 carrier rocket 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft.

Even if they had watched the live broadcast of the previous 'Chang'e' spacecraft and followed the whole process, this time the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft still attracted the attention of the whole people. This is the charm of manned spaceflight, as long as it is a manned moon landing or Manned landing on Mars is something that I never tire of watching. Every time I watch it, my blood boils, as if I am witnessing history.

As the commander of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, Liu Yang led the astronauts to take the oath, and then the six astronauts entered the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft with the courage to move forward, waiting for the launch of the Long March 15 carrier rocket Countdown.

At the same time, at this moment, the land, sea, air and space monitoring systems were all activated, ready to escort the Chang'e 2 spacecraft.

It even uses some advanced weather control systems to ensure that the weather is always good during the launch period.

Qin Yuanqing was not at the Wenchang launch center, but at the CNSA command center in Beijing, where information from all parties was also gathered.

From the big screen, Qin Yuanqing could even see pieces of space debris, scientific research stations located across the ocean, warships galloping on the ocean, and high-power radars turned on to track targets. .

A manned lunar landing project of great significance such as the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft requires all means to be escorted to ensure its smooth launch, rather than being affected by some unnatural environmental factors, causing the mission to fail and suffer huge losses. .

Even if it is monitored that other satellites are obstructing the trajectory of the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft, the laser cannon will be fired immediately to destroy the spacecraft blocking the way.

This is a globally recognized principle. No one can interfere with other countries' space activities or hinder the development of human space technology.

Qin Yuanqing was also silently waiting for the final countdown at this time. More than 200 engineers in the command center were monitoring everything at any time through the Internet and the Internet of Things. Artificial intelligence and quantum computers were all escorting the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft. .

"Countdown to 20 minutes"

"The weather and climate are normal, and the wind speed is normal."

"No suspicious targets found, the space is normal!"

"The Long March 15 carrier rocket is normal!"

"The 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft is normal!"

"."

"Countdown to 10 minutes"

"."

"Countdown to 5 minutes"

"Countdown to 4 minutes"

"Countdown to 3 minutes"

"Countdown to 2 minutes"

Finally, the one-minute countdown came, and the stopwatch started to enter from minute to minute on the screen of the command center and the live broadcast screen. Everyone held their breath, even if they had to urinate urgently, for fear of missing this historic scene.

From the Wenchang Launch Center to the whole of China, to the whole of Asia and the whole world, every corner of the world is watching the live broadcast of this launch.

In the past, this kind of launch would not be broadcast live, but the video would be played after the launch was successful. After all, there are various risks, some of which are confidential.

But later, this kind of live broadcast of space activities became more and more common, so much so that even the Chang'e 2 spacecraft used live broadcast to carry out the manned moon landing, so that people all over the world could feast their eyes on the prosperous era of space.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1 fire!"

As the command center issued the ignition command, the engine of the Long March 15 carrier rocket started to ignite, flames ejected, and then generated huge thrust. Smoke spread to all directions. The rocket took off, faster and faster, and soon it was Breaking the speed of sound.

"Wenchang Launch Center, launch is normal!"

"Infrared monitoring, normal!"

"Radar tracking, normal!"

"Pacific Scientific Research Station, monitoring is normal!"

"."

Finally, 175 seconds after launch, the booster separated.

When the booster separation was successful, engineers at the Wenchang Launch Center and the Beijing Ground Command Center couldn't help but applaud, and the audience watching the live broadcast couldn't help but applaud with excitement.

Everyone knows that booster separation is a very important link.

"Tianlian-2 Star 01 is tracking normally."

"The tracking at Ludao Station is normal!"

"Tongguling station tracking is normal!"

"."

When the rocket is launched for 295 seconds, the fairing is thrown away. Every engineer is highly focused and does not dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Afterwards, it was seen that the booster landed smoothly in the calculated booster landing area, and the salvage ships waiting nearby would salvage it as soon as possible to prevent it from falling into the hands of other countries and the technology being broken by others.

Soon, 486 seconds after the rocket was launched, the second-stage engine started working and the first and second stages separated. The separation of the first and second levels is also a symbol.

Finally, the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft entered the geosynchronous orbit. In the next time, the 'Chang'e 2' spacecraft will accelerate the orbit and then perform an orbit change to enter the Earth-moon migration orbit.

The solar power sail of the "Chang'e 2" spacecraft is opened to provide the electrical energy required by the spacecraft, and the plasma engine begins to work, constantly accelerating the "Chang'e 2".

Unfortunately, after entering space, the action of the plasma engine was no longer broadcast live to the outside world. The only people who could obtain the information were units and people with authority within China, and even the Chinese media could not get it live.

This is a check on advanced technology to prevent others from obtaining advanced technology, crossing the river by stroking the rabbit's head, and realizing the possibility of overtaking in corners.

All fields in China have gone through this process, so they naturally know how to carry out technical protection.

Therefore, even if it is a live broadcast, it is also a live broadcast of the situation of the astronauts inside the Chang'e 2 spacecraft, such as the astronauts reporting on the situation of the spacecraft, greeting the audience, and even making video calls with their families, etc.

As for plasma engines and anti-gravity devices, they will not appear in the live broadcast.

Qin Yuanqing paid attention to the operation of the 'plasma engine' at all times, and pieces of data kept appearing on his computer.

"After ten minutes, turn off the live video, start the anti-gravity device, and conduct the gravity control experiment of the anti-gravity device!" Qin Yuanqing said.

Suddenly, ten minutes later, there were no videos about the spacecraft in the live broadcast. They were replaced by aerospace experts’ review explanations and the popularization of the significance of aerospace, or advertising time, such as the world’s most advanced diapers, which were developed from space-specific technologies. , such as space biscuits, space dumplings, etc.

In the command center, Qin Yuanqing issued the order to activate the anti-gravity device. As the astronauts operated, the gravity value in the command module began to appear.

"Jingcheng, Jingcheng, has felt the gravity!"

"The capital of Beijing, the gravity is about the same as the surface of the moon!"

"We won't float. When our feet hit the ground, we feel the same as when we hit the surface of the earth!"

At this time, the gravity display in the cockpit was 1G, which meant the same gravity as the earth's surface.

Next, the test will be repeated to determine when and how much gravity is best for astronauts. This needs to be studied and will also provide a basis for the next manned lunar landing and space activities.

Qin Yuanqing can develop anti-gravity devices, but he has no way to do this and can only leave it to astronauts.

At the same time, the thrust of the plasma engine will be tested comprehensively. As for the spacecraft's engine fuel, more fuel will be saved.

Although the Chang'e 2 spacecraft is carrying out manned moon landing, it is also testing a number of technologies and has carried out a number of scientific research tasks.

Even in the future, when the spacecraft takes off from the earth, it will not be possible to ensure that the astronauts in the cockpit are always in the most comfortable state, which is what CNSA will study next.

Qin Yuanqing began to process the data. In the next few years, a system will be gradually developed so that anti-gravity can always make the gravity of the cockpit the most comfortable. This will be beneficial to the health of astronauts and extend the career life of astronauts. .

"Academician Qin, the current monitoring data shows that the Chang'e 2 spacecraft is operating normally and will reach the lunar orbit early tomorrow morning!" the commander-in-chief of the manned lunar landing project said to Qin Yuanqing.

"Well, report any situation to me as soon as possible, including the astronaut's physical condition!" Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The Wenchang Launch Center successfully completed the launch mission. The staff there can have a good rest, but not here. There are still many things going on here. Pay attention to the dynamics of the spacecraft at all times, and be in touch with each other at all times. Astronauts make contact.

In this case, even if something happens, measures can be taken to deal with it as soon as possible.

For example, in this process, if a disaster occurs in the command module, the astronauts can enter the lunar module immediately, then separate the lunar module and the command module, activate the backup communication system of the lunar module, and then get in touch with the ground command center.

As long as the three capsules do not explode at the same time, the astronauts can have a chance to save themselves. As long as there is a certain amount of time, the earth can launch another spacecraft for space rescue and try its best to rescue the astronauts.

"Okay, if anything happens, I'll tell you as soon as possible!" said the commander-in-chief of the manned lunar landing project.

Qin Yuanqing began to pay attention to the huge amount of data. His brain was running rapidly and he was constantly analyzing the data. Even if the data sent back every moment was very large, Qin Yuanqing would be able to detect it immediately if there was any abnormality in the data.

The system may not be able to detect it immediately, but the data is very honest. Through data analysis, he can detect abnormalities in advance. This is equivalent to adding a fire protection line to the Chang'e 2 spacecraft.
