I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 450: Settled colonists
Remember [novelmao.com] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The entire moon colonization plan is divided into three steps.
In order to show the public the aerospace strength of the Star Ring Trade, the entire colonial process will be followed live on the official website for 24 hours.
The first rocket to be launched on the moon is named Xinghuan No. 4, which is the largest carrier rocket in the Xinghuan trade. As a rocket used for landing on the moon, unlike other rockets in the Star Ring series, it adopts a three-stage propulsion mode similar to a normal rocket. As the starting rocket, it will carry the tools, materials, some daily necessities and two pilots for the colonists to build the base.
Kerwin and other staff at the space launch center have been preparing for too long for this day.
In the launch center, not only the staff, but also the journalists from various planes and three-dimensional media, observers from the United Nations Space Department, the United States, France, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and other countries, and the directors of the Future Group Changjiang morning.
When the order to ignite was issued, the dense fog quickly spread from the launch site under the eyes of everyone. Carrying a long track, Xinghuan 4 carried the hope and pride of the people of the new country and flew into the blue sky.
The moon landing is a long waiting process.
After the rocket is launched, it does not fly to the moon in a straight line, but also undergoes several orbit changes in the middle.
Xinghuan 4 first entered the standby orbit, which is a circular orbit around the earth, where the spacecraft operates like a satellite. The two pilots carried out various inspections on the spacecraft, confirmed that all equipment was normal, and then decided whether to proceed to the moon. If there is a problem, return to Earth and cancel the launch.
Everyone ’s heart mentioned his throat, his eyes locked on the holographic screen directly in front of him, and the green dot surrounding the earth.
After a few hours of waiting, the “All is OK.” feedback came from the standby track.
Kelvin sighed relievedly, wiped the sweat from his palm, and ordered quietly.
“Everything is normal for Xinghuan 4 and head towards the moon!”
“… received.”
After receiving the order from the ground command center, “Xinghuan 4” ran in standby orbit for a week and a half, the three-stage rocket ignited again, seized the opportunity, and entered the moon orbit at a speed of nearly 11 kilometers per second.
So far, the entire launch plan has been more than half successful.
Kerwin was relieved and wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
He did n’t do any strenuous work, but he felt soaked.
Reporters from major media have stepped forward, carrying cameras and microphones to interview him. But he just waved his hand, gave the opportunity to speak to his assistant, and walked toward the lounge.
“Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, so far, the launch process has been smooth. If no accidents occur in the next sixty hours, you will become the second country in the world to successfully send humans to the moon. “” When he came to Jiang Chen, Henry, a special observer of the United Nations, extended his hand with a smile.
Since Xinghuan Trading launched the first rocket, he has been stationed on the island of Kero because of the frequent space activities of the new country. At first, he was still quite complaining about this, but Jiang Chen offered him delicious and delicious food here, and he couldn’t say anything to complain about. Over the past two years, people have gained a lot of weight, and he is used to living in a new country.
After the completion of the city of Penglai, he simply bought a house on it, and he planned not to return to New York after he retired and settled here directly.
It can be said that he watched the new country’s spaceflight go from the beginning to the step of manned landing on the moon. Putting aside his position, he is heartily happy for the Xinghuan Trade.
“Borrow your good words.” Jiang Chen said with a smile, glanced at the reporters whose front view broke through the bodyguard interception, and then went on to say, “Let’s eat something together, from morning till now I have a grain Did not enter. “
“Me too.” Henry said with a smile, and walked to the cafeteria with Jiang Chen.
Because there are many foreign guests, the staff of the cafeteria also performed a superb meal with a superb performance. Jiang Chen saw people from the US delegation sitting in the corner, chewing on the pork chops, fried shrimp and ham while talking about the launch of the Star Ring Trade today.
Obviously, they were shocked that the launch of the Star Ring Trade was so smooth.
Although they successfully sent people from the earth to the moon in the 1960s, they only managed to do so from the failed Apollo 1 to the 11th. How much sweat, sacrifice, and budget they have paid for is only clear to them NASA themselves.
However, the most difficult obstacles to landing on the moon were so easily overtaken by Xinghuan Trading, which shocked them and was deeply frustrated.
Perhaps, as officials of the Ministry of Defense revealed to them, the Star Ring Trade has already led the United States in missile technology, and the launch vehicle is just another manifestation of this technological advantage.
After running out of dinner, Jiang Chen met with representatives of the United States, France, China, Russia, and Britain. Regardless of their positions, they also congratulated him first. But at the same time, these representatives from various countries also inquired about the next steps of Xinghuan Trade.
Jiang Chen spoke outspokenly.
As for content that involves corporate secrets, Jiang Chen asked no matter what the other party was, and never revealed half a point.
Until ten o’clock, journalists from major media still hovered in the reception hall of the launch center. Without spending time on these reporters, Jiang Chen came to the dormitory arranged for him by the staff. He will stay on this island for several days until the entire launch mission is completed.
How can he miss this moment of witnessing history?
The representatives of other countries thought the same, and they pushed away the hotels arranged by Xinghuan Trading for them and asked the staff to arrange dormitories for them. Even if the accommodation environment is simpler, no one complains.
The next day, “Star Ring 4” shuttled through the dark space, the three-stage rocket had been extinguished, and the speed was getting slower. When traveling to the middle of the earth-moon transfer orbit, the speed has dropped to 3 kilometers per second,
On the third day, the “Xinghuan 4” three-stage rocket reignited and entered the moon-capturing orbit.
At this time, “Star Ring 4” has reached the point closest to the moon,
However, it did not immediately start landing. At this time, its speed is quite fast, and it needs to adjust the phase on the elliptical orbit several times, from the 12-hour orbit to the 127-minute orbit, before it can start landing.
The ground command center and the astronauts on the rocket also ushered in the most critical moment before landing!
If the speed of the rocket is not well controlled at this time, a careless rocket can easily get out of orbit, and the remaining fuel is not enough to correct the orbit. The end result is that the rocket becomes uncontrolled “space junk”. Astronauts can only lie in the dormant warehouse, wait for many years after the technical conditions allow, and then be picked up by future generations to end dormancy.
Fortunately, the accident did not happen.
According to the orbit calculated by the quantum computer, Xinghuan 4 successfully hit the scheduled lunar landing point.
It took sixty-seven hours.
The moment the moon dust rose, all the staff including Kerwin, as well as the observers of the United Nations Space Department and the United States, France, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom, could not help but throw their fists and applaud Cheers for it.
Even if they have different nationalities, at this moment, they are as a human being, looking at the first step of human beings towards the galaxy. (To be continued.)
