Chapter 666: Landing on the Moon
"I didn't have time to take a picture. It was so fast. Just when I was about to take out my phone to take a picture, it flashed by! Human spacecraft can never reach such speed!"
"Check today's space launch records to see if there are any close ones. If there are, then it's a human spacecraft . If not... then it might really be an alien spacecraft!"
After all, it is a space mission to the moon, and it is not easy to hide completely.
Among those who saw traces of the Shenniao aerospace fighter, a small number of them successfully filmed the flight process of the aerospace fighter and sent these pictures and videos to the Internet, which aroused discussion among some people.
Words like "UFO" and "unidentified flying object" have always been very easy to attract people's attention.
However, a very small number of people are able to keenly discover some details that are difficult for ordinary people to find from the limited information.
Bao Changping, a well-known science blogger, published his analysis of the matter on his personal homepage.
"From the information I have received, this so-called UFO is very likely our Shenniao aerospace fighter. You can first take a look at the state of the Shenniao when it is flying in the sky."
As he spoke, Bao Changping found some clips of the Shenniao's previous mission in the video.
After comparing these clips, I did find many similarities.
"As you can see, no matter from the appearance, flight characteristics, flight speed and other factors of the aircraft, it is very similar to the Shenniao space fighter. With such limited information, I cannot conclude with 100% certainty that this is the Shenniao space fighter. However, compared to the speculation that this is an alien aircraft, this speculation is definitely more likely."
In the video, Bao Changping did not give too much explanation about the matter.
What was even more unexpected was that Bao Changping deleted the video shortly after it was released, and no trace of it could even be found on the Internet.
The related entries also quickly disappeared.
…
After more than two days of flight, the Shenniao aerospace fighter carrying Xu You and Lu Zhiyao has approached the moon.
At this time, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao were sitting steadily in their respective seats, without any sense of weightlessness in space.
The Shenniao aerospace fighter is equipped with the most advanced artificial gravity system, allowing people sitting inside the Shenniao to feel the same gravitational acceleration as on the Blue Planet.
In this way, even if you perform long-term space missions, your body will not suffer any serious damage.
"It's really comfortable without the feeling of weightlessness, but it doesn't seem like I'm in space anymore. My previous impression of being in space was always of being floating."
Lu Zhiyao still enjoyed this space trip and tried hard not to think about the dangerous things that would happen later.
"It doesn't matter. When we enter the lunar module, we won't be able to use the artificial gravity system. This will also allow us to better adapt to the gravity on the moon."
Because the lunar module is so small, it is not particularly easy to add devices like artificial gravity systems.
At this time, on the central control screen, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao could already see that the moon was getting closer and closer to them.
Since the aerospace fighter cannot take off from the moon, after approaching the moon, the Shenniao aerospace fighter will hover above the moon and will not land on the moon.
The subsequent landing on the moon will be completed using the lunar module carried by the aerospace fighter.
After the Shenniao had reached its designated location, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao entered the lunar module, changed into new space suits, and prepared for landing.
After confirming that everything was correct, Xu You pressed the eject button of the lunar module.
After the system confirmed that the entire device was safe, it approved Xu You's order, opened the hatch, and started the lunar module's ejection procedure.
Immediately afterwards, the lunar module separated from the aerospace fighter, adjusted its speed, and flew towards the predetermined location.
Without the artificial gravity system, Xu You and Lu Zhiyao finally experienced the state of weightlessness. However, because they were already relatively close to the moon, they were still subject to a gravity close to one-sixth of that of the Blue Planet.
When the lunar module was closer to the moon, it began to slow down so that it could land on the lunar surface at a speed close to relative stillness.
In the end, the lunar module landed smoothly and steadily at the predetermined location, with the error of the landing point not exceeding one meter.
At this time, not far from the landing point, several astronauts stationed on the moon were already ready.
After learning that Xu You and Lu Zhiyao's lunar module had landed, they boarded the Golden Rabbit No. 1 lunar rover and drove to the landing location of the lunar module.
After the lunar module had landed smoothly, Xu You opened the door of the lunar module and took the first step across the planet.
"Is this the land of the moon?"
Stepping on the lunar soil, Xu You had a dreamlike feeling.
A few years ago, Xu You had never thought that one day he would set foot on the land of an alien planet.
Looking at the vast moon, Xu You felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell what he was feeling.
After Xu You walked out of the lunar module, Lu Zhiyao also came to the door of the lunar module, carefully stuck her head out, and stepped out of the cabin.
Xu You extended his hand like a gentleman and helped Lu Zhiyao out.
Since there is no air on the moon, the two cannot communicate directly face to face and can only communicate using radio.
Although the brain wave communication method is also feasible, it consumes a lot of energy. If it is not necessary, it should not be used lightly.
"Yaoyao, the astronauts who are supposed to pick us up will be here soon. Let's get used to the lunar environment first, and then we'll take the Golden Rabbit No. 1 lunar rover to our lunar research station."
"Yeah, okay."
During their training at the Aerospace Academy, the two had already become accustomed to the feeling of wearing space suits and the low-gravity environment.
But when you really arrive on the moon, the feeling is somewhat different.
After all, no matter how high the simulation degree is, it cannot be compared with the real environment.
The space suits worn by Xu You and Lu Zhiyao were not heavy. Even wearing them, they felt much lighter than on the Blue Planet.
The two of them moved their bodies on the moon and quickly adapted to the new gravity acceleration.
At this time, not far from Xu You and Lu Zhiyao, the lunar rover had already arrived .
