Chapter 507: Scars Revealed Once Again

Over long distances, even at the speed of light, propagation cannot be completed instantly.

The time it takes for the signal to travel back and forth is one to two seconds.

At this time, apart from issuing macro-level commands to the spacecraft, the staff in the control room had nothing else to do.

Everything depends on whether the entire flight control system can stand the test.

Xu You quietly looked at the images on the screen and the real-time data transmitted, his expression appearing calm and determined.

Xu You has full confidence in the entire project and will not allow any mistakes.

Although Xu You did not participate in all the core work, during the testing phase, Xu You had strictly checked all parts.

Xu You needs to ensure that this mission must be successful even if he encounters the most extreme and harshest conditions.

"The spacecraft successfully entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit!"

After continuous acceleration, the spacecraft finally completed the orbital crossing, and warm applause was heard again in the entire control room.

Although we have had experience in successfully transferring the Earth-Moon orbit when launching lunar probes before.

But after all, the two missions are not at the same level in terms of carrying capacity.

When the carrying capacity increases several times, the difficulty of the task also increases exponentially.

"Now you can see that our spacecraft has successfully entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. This means that the spacecraft is constantly overcoming the Earth's gravity and starting to fly toward the moon. Next, the spacecraft will gradually be captured by the moon, brake and slow down, and finally enter the lunar orbit."

As the mission got closer and closer to success, the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the screen became more and more excited.

Even though the live broadcast has lasted for several hours, everyone is still unwilling to miss every detail and hopes to continue watching until the moment the spacecraft successfully enters the lunar orbit.

At this time, the screen simultaneously displays images from multiple different angles, allowing the audience to observe the dynamics of the spacecraft from all angles.

Watching the spacecraft approaching the lunar orbit little by little, everyone's excitement is about to reach its peak.

"The spacecraft successfully entered lunar orbit!"

Following the staff's announcement, the warmest applause rang out in the entire control room.

This time, everyone finally doesn’t have to worry anymore and can celebrate the success of the mission with peace of mind.

Although Xu You did not applaud as excitedly as the others.

But at this time, Xu You also nodded vigorously, his heart filled with excitement.

The success of this mission indicates that the Zhengtu-9 rocket has successfully passed the rigorous test, and the entire aircraft control system has performed perfectly as everyone expected.

Our astronauts are getting closer and closer to actually landing on the moon.

…

The news of the successful launch of ZT-9 immediately made headlines around the world.

"Huaxia has successfully launched a heavy-duty carrier rocket, the Zhengtu-9, with a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of up to 150 tons, marking a key step in their lunar landing project!"

"A perfect rocket launch. China's aerospace technology has become a model for the whole world!"

"Is it a foregone conclusion? China will become the first country in the 21st century to achieve a manned lunar landing!"

For a time, the focus of discussion among people all over the world was on the successful launch of the Zhengtu-9 and the manned lunar landing that would take place soon.

The previous failure of the SAM rocket launch was in stark contrast to this.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. The results of Journey 9 once again opened Sam's scars.

"Why, why can the rabbit's rocket be launched so smoothly, but ours can't!"

After the white-haired old man learned the news, he complained angrily in his palace.

What made him even more angry was that Sam had several valuable moon landing experiences decades ago.

In contrast, Rabbit started almost from scratch and achieved technological progress step by step.

If even the aerospace field is surpassed by rabbits.

Then Sam will once again be badly defeated in the technological competition with the rabbit.

"Sir, the reason for the failure of the last rocket launch has been found."

At this time, a man came up and told the old man the news.

"Oh? Have we found the wreckage of our rocket?"

"No, not yet. But we conducted more rigorous testing on the rocket, and during the test, we perfectly reproduced the same failure. After simulation by the simulation model, it is indeed exactly the same as the last failure."

"Then why didn't we check this fault before?"

"This fault will only occur under extreme conditions, and it is difficult to detect it through conventional tests. In addition, because the launch time is advanced, some tests for extreme conditions have to be omitted."

The old man felt complicated when he heard the news.

He can be said to be the instigator of the advance of the launch plan.

However, if they do not improve their progress quickly, they will easily be overtaken by the rabbits and lose their dominance in the aerospace field.

This was a huge blow to Sam.

No matter what, we must do our best to maintain the advantages we have gained over the past few decades.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Now that we've found the cause, it's better than not finding it . Before they successfully land on the moon, everything is still unknown."

After a pause, the old man continued, "By the way, what did Xu You and Johnson talk about last time?"

"According to Johnson, Xu You provided an analysis of the reasons why our rocket launch failed."

The old man was stunned when he heard this.

"Analysis? How did he analyze it? We haven't even released the video of the whole process to the public. How could they analyze it faster than us?"

"But... sir, the facts prove that Xu You's analysis is completely correct."

Hearing this, the old man was stunned and sat in the chair motionless.

"Xu You... is truly a rare genius in the world. It's a pity that he is not a Sam..."

…

After the successful launch of the first launch mission of Zhengtu-9, Xu You quickly came out of his excitement.

A successful launch is far from the time to celebrate thoroughly.

Next, there is still a lot of work waiting for them to solve.

Xu You carefully analyzed the data sent back by the spacecraft.
