UGB Chapter 142 Interstellar Broadcast On The Moon!
Chapter 142 Interstellar Broadcast On The Moon!
At nine o'clock in the morning of July 6, outside Yanjing City.
At this time, in a large open space, Blue Star's first true starship "Galaxy One" is preparing to set sail.
If in the past, spacecraft launches were still a relatively mysterious thing, requiring special launch sites and near the equator.
Now, the Dragon Country has a very mature technology for interstellar navigation, and it can be launched at any time and place.
In the past, the speed of the launch vehicle was certain, and the lower the latitude of the launch site, the greater the rotation speed of the blue star, so that the orbital speed of the spacecraft could be larger, and the rotational energy of the blue star could be used to the greatest extent.
However, after the use of anti-gravity technology at this time, the Starship "Galaxy One" of the Dragon Kingdom has no restrictions on the launch site at all, and even directly chooses to board and set sail in an open venue outside Yanjing City.
The mission of "Galaxy One" is not only to explore the moon, but also to unveil the mystery of interstellar navigation for all Dragon Countrymen, and even make interstellar navigation popular, well known and accepted by the public, and pave the way for future interstellar migration.
Therefore, unlike the previous spacecraft launches, which can only be watched on TV, this time outside the site where "Galaxy One" set sail, a large number of ordinary people came to watch and cheer
Galaxy One is 180 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is a product of two eras compared with previous spacecraft.
Because in the past, although the manned spacecraft of various countries looked huge, in fact, the manned spacecraft part was only about ten meters long, and the rest were all transport rockets and fuel loading parts.
But the length and width of "Galaxy One" are the main part of the real manned vehicle.
At this moment, the inside of "Galaxy One" has been filled with a series of materials such as space planting units, experimental mining machines, and exploration vehicles.
Outside the spacecraft, ordinary people who came to watch 150 held up red banners and various support cards, like a grand star-chasing scene.
It's just that this time the star everyone is chasing is not a star, but the first manned moon landing in the Dragon Country and the technology superstar "Galaxy One" who embarked on an interstellar journey!
Inside the venue, Li Qiu is visiting the Starship with a group of military and government leaders.
Since the starship set sail in Yanjing City for the first time, there were many leaders who rushed over to watch this time, and everyone was also very interested in this exploration trip.
"Chief Engineer Li, do we have to send 20 people up at once on the first manned moon landing?"
"Only eight of them are astronauts, the others are experts and scholars, and there are even two ordinary people representatives."
The government leader asked with a little concern.
The planetary base construction plan was just announced before the Lunar New Year in the Dragon Kingdom, so this manned lunar landing has attracted a lot of attention around the world.
Coupled with the fact that so many ordinary people were sent to this lunar exploration trip, he was really worried.
Or to put it another way, this lunar exploration operation of the Dragon Kingdom can only succeed, not fail.
"To the moon and not so far from the planet, they go up and take a look around and put the test equipment there, and the people can come back, you don't need to worry."
"And Galaxy One is designed with a coaxial rotation simulation gravity device, even untrained ordinary people can adapt to this interstellar voyage."
"In addition, the reason why I agreed to send two more representative ordinary people to go up is to unveil the mystery of interstellar navigation and let every ordinary person adapt to such a life and future (BBAI)."
Li Qiu explains.
The reason why he agreed to let ordinary people land on the moon was not to show off to other countries how powerful the Dragon Country's space strength was.
It's about narrowing the distance between the universe and ordinary people.
After all, it won't be many years before many people in the Dragon Country will also step into the cosmic galaxy and carry out interstellar voyages.
If we don't step up propaganda now, when most people are resistant or worried about danger, how will the interstellar development and colonization program unfold?
"Well, you have this confidence!"
The government leader nodded silently.
Li Qiu is the commander-in-chief of the planetary base operation, and he does not mix the specific arrangements involved.
As long as Li Qiu has this confidence, he is relieved!
At 9:55, all the lunar landing personnel were ready, and they came to the "Galaxy One" to wave goodbye to everyone.
At the same time, almost all Shenguang in the world gathered outside Yanjing City to follow the latest progress of the Dragon Country lunar landing operation through live broadcast or satellite footage.
Looking at these mighty twenty-person lunar landing personnel in spacesuits, the eyes of everyone in the world were stunned.
The Dragon Kingdom is really too bold, just one moon landing, actually sent so many people?
In addition to the personnel, what is even more shocking is the "Galaxy One" that does not need to be propelled by any rocket device.
Looking at the "Galaxy One" covering an area of about eight acres, everyone knows what a real starship is!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but be curious about the progress and results of the Dragon Country's "Planetary Base Project".
But before everyone could think about it, all the astronauts involved in the operation had landed in the cabin of the starship.
As the hatch closes, the environmental control system opens, and everyone in the spacesuit in the cabin fastens their seat belts and is ready.
"Everyone is ready, the lunar exploration journey has set sail!"
Galaxy One driver Chen Jian said to everyone.
After speaking, he rotated the button to activate the nuclear fusion device in the spacecraft.
Then, as he pressed one button after another, huge amounts of energy gushed out in the fusion reactor, driving the anti-gravity ring chamber and the variable-cycle engine to start at full power.
Galaxy One is like a hovering battleship, hovering at an altitude of about 100 meters in the air for about a minute, and then immediately flying towards the outside of the atmosphere.
"Doesn't this require a countdown and various ritual preparations?"
"I just bought two bottles of water at a high price from a vendor and drank it constantly, just to moisten my throat and wait for the countdown to shout!"
At this time, all the ordinary people who came to watch the launch ceremony of Galaxy One looked confused.
They are also preparing to count down the Galaxy One together, why did this spacecraft fly away directly without a word?
Li Qiu also noticed the puzzled looks of several leaders in his peers at this time, and he smiled slightly.
"Galaxy One does not need rocket boost, so there is no such thing as ignition."
"As for the countdown to sailing, I also don't think it's necessary, after all, future interstellar voyages are just commonplace."
"In order to make everyone think that interstellar navigation is actually very simple, just like taking a taxi and flying in daily life, so I directly canceled the grand ceremony.
Li Qiu looked at the bewildered crowd outside the venue and explained to the leader with a smile.
"You... For the sake of interstellar migration, it is really unscrupulous, actually subtly infiltrating and changing everyone's concepts............."
The leader also laughed and quipped with Li Qiu.
However, Li Qiu obviously did not have time to stay with the leader, and after a few more conversations, he hurried back to the command center to contact the Yuanwang ship.
Because the starry sky navigation of Galaxy One also requires the distant looking ship to provide blue star navigation command.
"This is the ground command center, Galaxy One, please report your situation."
Inside the command room, Li Qiu commanded.
"Ground command center, this is Galaxy One, the current altitude is 23 kilometers, the equipment is operating normally, there is no abnormal situation....."
Inside Galaxy One, the driver's report voice was immediately heard.
"Very good, keep in touch at any time, Yuanwang No. 7 and the ground command center will provide navigation services for you at any time!"
Li Qiu said.
As soon as Li Qiu finished speaking, the leading group that had observed the entire field came to the command room again.
"Chief Engineer Li, I just forgot to ask you, how long will it take for our Galaxy One to reach the moon?"
The leader asked Li Qiu.
"In about six hours, they'll be on the moon."
"At that time, after Galaxy One prepares, it will bring us a lunar version of the news network, you can pay more attention at that time."
Li Qiu replied.
"To the moon in six hours?"
"I remember that the beautiful country was in the Apollo program, didn't it go to the moon for many hours?"
"And in the selection of ordinary people to go to the moon, you specially selected the hookup host Kang Shuai as one of the representatives of ordinary people, just to open an interstellar version of the news network?"
The leader asked in shock.
This surprise came too suddenly, something he had never expected before.
"It's normal, after all, we are nuclear fusion propulsion in space."
"Traditional spacecraft spacecraft are only sent to the outside of the earth by rockets, and the rest are all floating in space, and chemical dye propulsion is only 5KM per second in space.
"But controlled fusion propulsion is different, nuclear fusion energy density is very high, can discharge fusion products backwards, and the speed of discharge can even reach at least 20,000 kilometers per second."
"But because the current technology is not too mature, it will only take us six hours to reach the moon!"
Li Qiu explains.
"Chief Engineer Li, your project team has given me another big surprise!"
"Arrive at the moon in six hours, and still have to broadcast the first interstellar news hookup on the moon, have you done a good job while publicizing?"
The leader asked Li Qiu full of surprise.
"Just after Galaxy One set sail, the technicians on our side and the personnel in charge of publicity have already docked with the Tongzhi of the propaganda port."
Li Qiu said.
