Rebirth of a technological power - Chapter 274 Manned Landing on Mars (2)

Chang’e 1 space shuttle.

Has switched to automatic cruise mode.

Practice has proven that the reliability of the automatic cruise mode is even better than manual operation.

Time passed by minute by second, and the blue planet behind them gradually moved away from them.

In this way, with the longing for the New World and the longing for a better future, the Chang’e 1 space shuttle left the synchronous orbit and sailed into the dark deep space, flying towards the fiery red planet.

As the Chang’e-1 space shuttle successfully left the Earth-Moon system, it carried ten astronauts and scientific researchers to Mars hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

The whole of China and the whole world are boiling.

This is the first time humans have left the Earth-Moon system.

It is also the pioneer of mankind’s first scientific expedition team sent to a planet beyond the earth.

In an interview with the media, CNSA stated that CNSA will build a lunar orbiting space station next year and is now soliciting names for the lunar orbiting space station from the whole society.

Not only that, CNSA also stated that the first batch of international astronauts from the Tiangong Space Station will fly to the Tiangong Space Station on a space shuttle after the Spring Festival next year.

There is no doubt that this is a declaration to CNSA’s status and influence in the world’s aerospace field.

If you can do something that your opponent can’t do, and do what they can do, it is undoubtedly the best proof of victory.

At this moment, CNSA seems to have become the light of mankind!

After all, the Tiangong Space Station is the only space station in orbit in the world today, and its scale has surpassed the International Space Station that was built for 20 years, becoming the largest space station in human history.

Guanghan Palace Scientific Research Station is the first scientific research station established on the moon on Earth. It is of unparalleled significance for studying the moon, detecting the moon, and developing the moon.

Now, even the lunar orbiting space station needs to be established.

Once the lunar orbiting space station is built, it will have an absolute advantage in the exploration of the moon. To put it bluntly, this has left all space agencies far behind.

In today’s general environment, it seems that some good-sounding news is born every day, and it seems that new technologies are born every day.

This can’t help but give people the illusion of being in the future.

In fact, this is not entirely an illusion.

The aerospace field is booming, and a large amount of funds have flowed into the research field. Major universities have opened majors related to outer space exploration and resource development, and related research topics have entered the green light lane for rapid approval. These changes are all visible.

The dividends brought by technological progress in the aerospace field, and other technical fields besides aerospace, are also growing at a rate that is usually unimaginable.

The most obvious one is probably the medical industry!

Various advanced technologies have been applied in the field of medical devices, and various advanced medical equipment have been developed, making many diseases that were previously considered terminal illnesses no longer incurable.

The technical content of diapers has been greatly improved, a lot higher.

Some things that are difficult to manufacture on the earth can be manufactured in the super weightless state of space and the low gravity state of the moon.

Some technologies that can be called black technologies have been born one after another.

In the past, contact with the Earth in space was very costly.

But now, astronauts can video chat with their families at will.

Quantum communication satellites make it possible to connect to the Internet through satellites in any corner of the world, even if there is no base station.

Moreover, the speed of satellite Internet is quite fast.

The satellite networking business alone is enough for China Mobile and Telecom to conquer cities and territories in the global communications field.

In European and American countries, it is not easy to access the Internet everywhere. In many rural areas, it is actually not convenient to access the Internet.

Not to mention mountainous areas.

Now, even in the Arctic, even in the Antarctic, even in the Amazon forest, satellite networking can be easily carried out.

Cai Jin watched the live broadcast of the Chang’e-1 space shuttle launch and felt that the distance between planets was too far.

Even with the Chang’e space shuttle, it has to be calculated in months!

If Mars is far away from the Earth, it will even take three months!

It takes half a year to go back and forth!

Originally, Cai Jin felt that the Chang’e space shuttle was already very advanced and sufficient.

But now, he feels that this performance is simply not enough in the face of the vast and infinite universe.

To be honest, Cai Jin also has a dream of stars and sea in his heart.

He hopes that one day, he can look around the solar system and even go outside the solar system to see if there are any planets with life.

Cai Jin doesn’t know whether there are any living planets in the entire universe. It is estimated that no one in the entire world can give a definite answer.

Cai Jin feels that there is a high probability!

According to research by astronomers, the diameter of the Milky Way alone is between 100,000 and 180,000 light-years. Stars like the sun have 100 to 400 billion stars and a large number of star clusters, nebulae, and various types of interstellar matter. Gas and interstellar dust.

In such a large galaxy, it makes no sense that the Earth in the solar system is a living planet, while other galaxies have no living planets.

As for the entire universe, there are almost 200 billion galaxies.

How could there be only one living planet in the entire universe, the Earth?

Even if there is only one living planet like the Earth in a galaxy, there are still 200 billion living planets in the entire universe.

And it’s impossible for these living planets to all lag behind the earth, right?

Cai Jin is very happy to see the success of CNSA’s journey to Mars.

He hoped that this would be a solid step for China to step into the sea of ​​stars.

But he also realized that it would take a full seven years for an aircraft of the Chang’e level to fly out of the solar system.

Even if it reaches the edge of the solar system and then returns, it will take a full 14 years!

How many 14 years can there be in life!

It’s okay to do unmanned flight tests, but it’s simply impossible to actually take action.

To make the Chang’e space shuttle fly faster and farther, there are two problems that cannot be avoided.

One is a stronger engine and stronger energy source. Nuclear batteries are simply not enough to support it. What is needed is controllable nuclear fusion!

Without mastering controllable nuclear fusion technology, it would be impossible for human beings to leave the solar system at all, and would only be able to circle around in the solar system.

One is the need for stronger materials.

The faster the speed, the greater the force of the collision with the microcelestial body, which requires more powerful materials to make the collision less likely to threaten the aircraft, or in other words, requires an energy defense.

Cai Jin submitted several robots to CNSA and completed CNSA’s scientific research tasks.

As for the CNSA order, Cai Jin didn’t care at all.

Because the order contract is really not enough for Cai Jin to fill his teeth.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

At this time, the whole world is watching the live broadcast, and the number of viewers of the live broadcast this time is much higher than when it was launched.

Because, the Chang’e-1 space shuttle finally arrived on Mars.

This month, the Chang’e-1 space shuttle has always been the focus of people’s attention.

Any entertainment gossip star has far less attention than the Chang’e 1 space shuttle.

Chang’e-1 space shuttle has new projects every day, such as space lectures, space walks, etc.

When we were on earth, humans were actually two-dimensional beings. Only when we entered space did humans evolve from two-dimensional life to three-dimensional life.

The deeper you understand the universe, the more insignificant you will feel, and the more you will be in awe of the universe.

In this month, mankind has gained a deeper understanding of the universe and stars in the history of mankind.

Once upon a time, interstellar navigation and interstellar colonization seemed out of reach, as if they only existed in science fiction works.

But now, the footsteps are clearly visible.

At this time, in the deep space 118.7 million kilometers away from the earth, a silver-white space shuttle was slowly advancing.

Although with the distant sun and the nearby fiery red planet as the background, it seems that it is moving slowly as slowly as a snail, but in fact its speed at this moment has reached nearly four kilometers per second.

If it was much faster than this before, it would reach this speed after decelerating and be captured by the Mars gravity system!

The Earth’s first cosmic speed is 7.9 kilometers per second, and the volume, mass, and radius of Mars are much smaller than the Earth’s. The first cosmic speed is naturally not as good as the Earth’s first cosmic speed.

The first cosmic speed of Mars is 3.72 kilometers/second!

Floating in the cabin, staring at the fiery red planet outside the porthole for a long time, everyone smiled in victory.

This is the first time humans on Earth have entered Mars orbit.

“We have finally arrived on Mars!” A smile of victory appeared on Liu Yang’s lips.

As the first female astronaut among Chinese astronauts to go into space, the first astronaut to land on the moon, and now the first commander to carry out a manned landing on Mars, her name is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese spaceflight. It will be recorded in the history of world spaceflight.

Even if she retires after returning to Earth, she will have no regrets.

Later, through the robot, Liu Yang and others took photos of the fiery red planet, and then took a group photo together with the fiery red planet as the background.

This will be an extremely precious commemorative photo of their lives.

“Beijing, Beijing, this is the Chang’e-1 space shuttle, we have arrived in Mars orbit!” Liu Yang contacted the earth.

Even with quantum communication, there is still an obvious information delay.

“Jingcheng received it! Jingcheng received it!”

This conversation spread throughout the world immediately, and people from all corners of the world couldn’t help but cheer.

This is the end point of the Chang’e-1 space shuttle’s journey.

It will also be a new starting point for human civilization to move towards the stars!

This is not only a victory for China’s aerospace industry, but also a victory for the world’s aerospace industry.

After getting in touch with the Earth Command Center, Liu Yang began to implement the original plan.

After the Chang’e-1 space shuttle arrives in Mars orbit, it will not land on Mars immediately, but will first change the orbit of Mars.

After all, before, there was no one around.

But now it is when there are people.

For an hour, various experiments were carried out in Mars orbit.

“The current orbital altitude is 316.7 kilometers and we will reach the target airspace in 5 minutes! We will land on Mars!” Liu Yang looked very calm.

Subsequently, the Chang’e-1 space shuttle began to fly toward the Martian atmosphere.

I saw the Chang’e-1 space shuttle falling towards the thin atmosphere of Mars, and finally turned into a point and disappeared at the edge of the Martian atmosphere.

Everyone knows that the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than the atmosphere of Earth!

The Chang’e-1 space shuttle flew like a parabola, with its speed and altitude constantly decreasing.

Finally, the Chang’e-1 space shuttle slowly landed on a natural flat rock.

This is the chosen place to land on Mars!

This area is an excellent place to land on Mars. It has a low altitude and is like a large plain.

Here, according to scientists, it was likely that it was once home to an ancient lake-delta system.

This system may have captured and preserved information about the Red Planet’s evolution – evidence of ancient life if it ever existed.

And if there is water on Mars, it is most likely to exist on this plain.

If evidence of the existence of water can be found here, then it may be possible to discover that life exists on Mars, or that life existed in the past.

The discussion among humans on Earth about the possibility of life on Mars has always been ongoing.

The reason why it is believed that there is life on Mars is not only because Mars is in the same solar system and relatively close in distance, but also because Mars is in the habitable zone like the Earth.

Some scientists even believe that it would be a miracle if there was no life on Mars.

Due to the positions of the Earth and Mars in the solar system, the Earth and Mars have actually shared the material in the universe for billions of years.

It makes no sense that Earth has given birth to life, but Mars has never given birth to life.

At this time, everyone in the world saw the scene of Mars.

A thousand miles away!

What you see is a fiery red land!

The scene of the earth seen at this time is not much different from everyone’s perception of it.

The Martian land outside the cabin is vast and vast without any signs of life, but it gives people a sense of desolation that comes from the soul!

Mysterious, desolate.

Not only the people in the cabin, but also the audience watching the live broadcast, all have a strong sense of shock when looking at the scene of Mars!

At this time, the people in the cabin began to line up one by one in the originally planned order, preparing to leave the cabin.

The family members of the crew were extremely excited watching the live broadcast!

Famous in history!

Leave a name through the ages!

This is something that many people long for!

And now it is about to be completed by my own relatives.

As Liu Yang went down the gangway and landed on Mars, the first record of human beings landing on Mars was born.

Its significance even exceeds that of the first astronaut to land on the moon.

After all, manned landing on Mars is not the same as manned landing on the moon.

The distance between the two is hundreds of times different!

Naturally, this scene is enough to be recorded in world history, becoming a deed that people have to learn from childhood, and will continue to appear in their respective film and television works.
