From black technology to super engineering

two days later.

Brain Center Cafe.

Although everyone has a mobile phone, a computer, virtual glasses, a TV...

But the researchers of the Brain-Computer Center are still willing to gather in the coffee shop, eat snacks, snacks, barbecue, drink drinks, fruit juice... and beer, sit around the big TV, and watch the live broadcast of today's satellite release.

Just like the little bar.

Yes, there are bars in China these days, and they are all overcrowded.

There is no deafening music in the bar, no yelling, and no girls swaying wildly - everyone is sitting together, drinking, watching TV, and blowing cowhide.

If it was someone who had just come out of prison, he might have thought it was the national football team that had reached the World Cup final.

After all, there is atmosphere.

And in any such scene, there must be a "professional" person to answer questions about popular science.

The professionals in the Brain-Computer Center coffee shop are naturally Zhou Xiangnan, who knows the big V and has a wide range of knowledge in various fields.

...

Qi and Mo were still next to Mo Gu, and when she saw Ye Ming sitting still on the command chair in the live broadcast of the command hall, she became a little worried.

Ye Ming's phone was of course turned off, but he didn't reply to the message sent to him through Aita, but Aita replied... This shows that he was obviously too busy to reply to the message these two days.

Qi and Mo turned their heads to Zhou Xiangnan: "Brother Nan, after launching the satellite, shouldn't it be time to turn into lunar orbit?"

Zhou Xiangnan nodded with a smile: "Almost, we are cruising up, and now we have slowed down to the L1 point of the earth and the moon. We just need to throw the Magpie Bridge satellite over there."

The L1 point of the earth and the moon is located at the line connecting the centers of the earth and the moon. Objects at this point can move around the earth with the moon in the same period under the joint action of the earth and the moon's gravitational force.

In fact, at the L1 point of the earth and the moon, the Chang'e project originally launched a satellite here six years ago, but because the centralized Aita was not considered at that time—who would have considered it?

Therefore, the previous communication satellite bandwidth is obviously not enough.

The "Magpie Bridge" communication satellite released this time not only increased the bandwidth, but also upgraded and improved the energy, antenna and algorithm.

Of course, the most important thing about releasing the satellite this time is the act of releasing the satellite itself.

As long as it is done well, there will be nothing wrong with rockets when sending satellites into the sky in the future.

At this time, Liu Jiequan said with a smile: "It's not purely lost, it really takes a lot of work to synchronize."

"Well, it's natural, so it's a technical job. You can tell by Mr. Ye's expression."

The screen on the TV just cut back to the hall, and in a flash, Ye Ming's expression was extremely serious and focused, and he was discussing something in a low voice with Director Zhang beside him.

Time passed slowly, and soon, the host announced that Yaoyue was approaching the Earth-Moon L1 point.

The screen flashed, and the huge hull of the Yaoyue at close range appeared in the camera.

The voice of the host came: "What everyone is seeing now is the observation image of the external shipboard camera of the Yaoyue. Through the camera, we can see half of the hull of the Yaoyue."

"The position of the sun is right now, and we can clearly see that Yaoyue is preparing for its release."

...

In the coffee shop, everyone held their breath.

When the screen switched again, the working scene in the cabin appeared for the first time.

I saw a group of astronauts wearing regular clothes, carefully sending the satellite to a "launch pad", and then everyone around the satellite carefully inspected it.

Qi Yumo's eyes were sharp, and she immediately recognized one of them, and she immediately called out: "Li Dongsheng! I saw Li Dongsheng!"

It's a pity that not many people here know about Li Dongsheng, and it didn't resonate much.

But the memory of everyone here is generally good. They all remember that there is a man named Li Dongsheng in the list of astronauts—some even know that this is the captain of the RC team.

"I remember he was engaged in robots, right?"

"Well! It's him, and he's working at Jizhi Technology now." Qi and Mo laughed. She is naturally happy to see acquaintances on camera.

At this time, Zhou Xiangnan took a serious look at the picture, shook his head and said with emotion: "Yueyue is really well hidden...It seems that we have not only achieved anti-gravity take-off, but also achieved artificial gravity."

Everyone was stunned!

In the past two days, the discussion about what technology was used when the Yaoyue took off has been going crazy all over the Internet.

——Not everyone can only shout such words as "awesome", "salute", and "blessing".

The abnormal design and take-off attitude of the Yaoyue is doomed to use an unconventional take-off and landing method, and after analyzing the picture frame by frame, everyone has formed a consensus that the Yaoyue uses an anti-gravity force field take off.

This... is even more powerful than a controllable nuclear fusion engine, and it can even be called a "black technology" technology.

It's just that in the face of the public's speculation, the lunar landing project team did not respond at all-how can they be free now!

Therefore, everyone can only guess through various details.

At this time, when I saw that all the astronauts were stepping on the floor, and walking like walking on the ground...

There is no doubt that this is artificial gravity.

"It's really awesome." Liu Jiequan also felt emotional: "Now it's not just a generation ahead of Lao Mei."

"Yeah, I've always been skeptical when Mr. Ye said that we want to build a space city. If we try to build a space city bigger than a space station...of course we can build it, but it's not necessary!"

Zhou Xiangnan shook his head while expressing emotion: "At that time, I didn't dare to ask, but now I know that Mr. Ye's brain... um... is not something ordinary people like me can fathom."

Although Zhou Xiangnan's words were in a joking tone, everyone heard... but no one thought there was any problem.

This brain-computer center building, to put it bluntly, was originally built because of Ye Ming!

At this time, in the TV, there was another call from Yaoyue from the command room.

"Hi Xichang, this is Yaoyue. The satellite is already in place and will enter the scheduled launch location in three minutes."

Ye Ming's voice sounded: "Yueyue, this is Xichang, please execute the delivery function as planned."

"Received the invitation to the moon."

...

At this time, the main screen cuts to the camera outside the ship of Yaoyue again.

Under the sunlight, a hatch slowly opened on the Yaoyue's hull shining with a charming metallic luster.

An artificial satellite jumped out of the hatch with a "whoosh", and then began to "shrink" extremely, and finally turned into a sky full of stars.

After a while, bursts of applause came from the command room.

At the same time, the voice of the Yueyue was also heard.

"Xichang, the satellite has been launched, and the Yaoyue will enter the lunar orbit in one hour."

"Xichang received it, invite the moon to continue the mission."

"Xichang, it's time for us to eat. Do the people of the motherland want to see our food?"

Following this sentence, the command room was obviously taken aback, and then there were bursts of cheerful laughter.

Even the host couldn't help laughing: "We heard that Yaoyue requested to show us the airline meals—Professor Chen, how about the airline meals on Yaoyue?"

"Well... this is actually similar to ordinary food, but the combination is more reasonable."

At this time, Ye Ming's voice sounded again.

Obviously, his voice was much lighter, and he also smiled: "Yueyue, please switch the screen to the cafeteria."

"Received the invitation to the moon."

Obviously, the command team on Yaoyue understands that it is not the astronauts in the sky who are really under pressure.

To put it bluntly, the people in the sky have already entrusted their fate to "God".

Or... the people below.

The most nervous thing is the people on the ground.

The galaxy is long, and as a whole on the moon, the only thing they can do is to let the companions below not be too nervous.

They feel good now.

As a result, people all over the world saw a picture that they will never forget.

One by one, the astronauts sat in an outrageously spacious restaurant. Everyone was holding a plate, smiling and waving at the camera.

Some people even raised their chopsticks and picked up the dishes on the plate to show off.

It's as if... they are not in space at all, but on a cruise ship on a space vacation.

...

In the coffee shop, everyone looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, the audience erupted into loud laughter.

Amidst the laughter, Qi and Mo looked at the screen of the command room that had shrunk to the lower right corner, and Ye Ming also reached out to take the lunch box handed over by Director Zhang.

She exhaled lightly, picked up the pre-mixed cocktail and poured herself a glass.

Seeing her appearance, Mo Gu smiled and poured himself a glass.

The two touched each other.

"Your invitation to the moon."

"Regard Ye Ming."

two days later

Kennedy Space Center.

Since the implementation of Plan B, everyone no longer has the "leisure" to pay attention to the progress of Yaoyue.

Increased risk means increased input costs.

This investment also includes energy.

I have to say...Lao Mei does have a wealth of experience in going into space.

In just four days, the entire state machine was fully in action. While implementing Plan B, it also started the implementation of Plan C—to land first, and at the same time ensure that all troubles are resolved.

Even, everyone said "unrealistically" and in a joking tone... If the Yueyue merge fails, then Plan C can arrange for them.

Of course...you have to pay.

only……

When Yaoyue began to release the satellite live again, showing the gravity field in its internal structure, and even showing the dining conditions in the earth environment...

Everyone fell silent.

"Fortunately, Artemis did not see the dining situation on the Yaoyue."

After four days, Musk has been able to calmly accept the fact that Yaoyue has achieved an anti-gravity force field.

As a technology with two sides in one body, it is no longer so difficult to accept artificial gravity.

Of course, it stands to reason that he should have left—after all, the Yaoyue has already been launched, and the experience cannot be used for reference, so there is no way to discuss it.

However, due to the simultaneous execution of Plan C, it is reasonable for him, the boss of SpaceX, to stay here.

Besides, even if he went back, he would not be able to work with peace of mind.

Listening to Musk's joke, Director Bowers just smiled, and then continued to look serious, looking at the various data seriously.

As NASA administrator, he was the last person to change plans.

But now... According to the data and situation, Artemis' Plan B has successfully completed the first phase of the task, and the second phase of the deceleration task is about to be completed.

Now, the Artemis is doing its final deceleration.

In two hours...they'll land on the moon with supplies.

It is about eight hours faster than the invitation to the moon.

It's just... Yaoyue made a live broadcast of dinner two days ago, and instantly dominated all the media and public opinion in the world.

Even if it landed early, what's the point?

Who cares?

Following the notice on the laptop that Artemis was about to enter the landing procedure, Director Bowers stood up.

Musk then stood up.

The two walked towards the command hall at the same time.

"Kennedy, this is Artemis, we're all good and ready to land."

"Artemis, this is Kennedy, permission to perform landing, good luck."

"Artemis received."

Following the call, the attitude and status of Artemis' spacecraft began to be displayed on the big screen.

...

Xichang.

Ye Ming took the coffee that He Mo handed over, took a sip, and found that the temperature was just right, so he quickly took a big sip.

Seeing his actions, He Mo shook his head.

"You really don't plan to squint for a while?"

"Don't squint." Ye Ming leaned on the chair. In the past few days, he has been extremely focused and... nervous.

Take off, send the stars, and land, although it seems that two things have been successfully completed...but the most troublesome and important thing is the final landing.

And it's not over after landing!

He also wanted to see the successful construction of the factory, and then complete the refining of helium 3!

Or put it this way...

Until the Yaoyue took off again and successfully landed on the earth, he couldn't completely rest assured.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he really doesn't know the seriousness, doesn't cherish his body, doesn't even sleep, and has to work hard for ten hours.

——The main reason is that Laomei actually temporarily revised the plan!

Frankly speaking, the entire Xichang team was a little confused when they received this news.

Because the plan of Yaoyue is to take off after Lao Mei takes off, and then land before Lao Mei!

Only in this way can the awesomeness and superiority of Yaoyue be fully reflected!

And now, judging from the posture of the Artemis spacecraft over there...they have indeed completed the conditions for an early landing.

So, while lamenting that Laomei is really awesome and bold, they briefly discussed whether to change the plan.

But after a short discussion, everyone agreed that there was no need to compete with Lao Mei again.

Lao Mei wants to grab this again, so let them go.

Anyway, the eyes of the whole world are now focused on Yaoyue... Everyone knows how advanced Yaoyue is compared to Artemis, so there is no need for any nonsense.

It is enough to seek stability step by step.

After drinking the coffee, Ye Ming turned on the monitor.

A simulation of Artemis leaving lunar orbit is being played on the screen.

After thinking about it, he called softly in his mind.

"Ita"

"Hey! I'm watching TV."

Ye Ming smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He stayed here for so long this time, so Teacher Ita naturally didn't come over.

"Adjust the camera of the Queqiao to see if you can see the picture of Artemis decelerating into the low-orbit space of the moon."

"Okay! It has been adjusted, do you need to upload the screen?"

"If you can see it, pass it on."

After a while, the screen on Ye Ming's monitor flashed.

Through the camera of the Queqiao Satellite, he clearly saw that Artemis had completed the attitude change and was slowly landing with his butt facing the moon.

"Help them figure it out."

"good."

"Artemis data collection...collection completed."

"The posture is correct."

"The posture is correct."

"The posture is correct."

Ye Ming couldn't laugh or cry: "Can you not repeat the meaningless words?"

"Wait, the posture is incorrect!"

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"Artemis' posture is incorrect."

Ye Ming immediately sat upright, frowning.

On the screen, Artemis shifted a little visibly with the naked eye. Immediately afterwards, the flames of the engine at its tail blazed hot!

In the next second, the material compartment of the spacecraft fell off from the cabin and fell from the sky.

Ye Ming was dumbfounded!
