Chapter 388: Landing on the Moon

Then Jim and the people in the Houston command center either watched with their eyes or saw on the screen that Li Changheng actually started to control the lunar module to slow down.

"God, he, he..."

In the command center, someone from the flight trajectory monitoring team yelled, "He's going to land directly in the crater, God, he's crazy."

But within a few seconds, the geological and terrain experts on the scene suddenly shouted with surprise, "Wait, wait, I seem to have seen this crater.

Maybe it can actually land in a crater. "

Then everyone saw this guy, busy looking for it in a stack of moon drawings.

"found it."

After looking carefully for a few seconds, he shouted excitedly, "The moment the meteorite hits the ground, it will form an extremely high pressure environment.

The heat generated rapidly melts or vaporizes the meteorite, which in turn melts or vaporizes material near the surface.

If it is too large, it will collapse due to gravity, then the impact crater will expand further, and the middle part of the impact crater will rebound and bulge to form a central peak.

If the impact crater is relatively small, it will form the simplest bowl-shaped impact crater, and the molten magma will concentrate on the bottom of the pit due to gravity.

Then it gathers together like mercury, and then cools down slowly. "

After speaking, he picked up the blueprint in his hand and pointed to the blueprint on it, although it was not clear, but it seemed that the topography could indeed be seen.

"The diameter of the crater where Henry Lee landed should be only 1 kilometer, which means that the bottom of the crater is actually probably a flat terrain.

Coupled with the crystalline powder formed by a large number of meteorites hitting the moon for countless years, the dust is scattered on the bottom of the crater, and the terrain will be flatter.

Even if there is a central peak, within a few hundred meters between the central peak and the edge of the crater, flat terrain can definitely be found. "

After this guy finished speaking, Li Changheng's voice came from the command center.

"Houston, this is the Titan lunar module, we have landed smoothly."

FK, FK, FK.

There was huge applause and cheers in the command center instantly.

Moreover, this is the first time that it has landed directly in the crater, not to mention, it is possible to collect rock samples from the bottom of the crater that were not even planned at all.

As for this task, no one has cared about the task of walking to the side of a volcano to collect rocks.

After the outside world heard this, countless Americans with a strong personal hero complex immediately upgraded Li Changheng to be on par with the first person to land on the moon.

Because he has completed the landing mission that others can't think of, let alone dare to complete, or even impossible.

Annie, who was staying at the home of the astronaut residence, kissed McCauley several times excitedly.

The little guy looked at the excited Annie in a daze, "I, can I kiss you back?"

"Hahaha", the happiest and most excited must be Jim's wife Madeleine.

The 40-year-old American housewife with three children doesn't care about etiquette.

Holding Annie and kept saying thank you.

Then I once again felt that letting Jim and Li Changheng go to the moon together was definitely the wisest decision in my life.

On the moon, Jim looked through the window to the somewhat dark surface with a smile on his face.

Looking at Li Changheng with an incredulous expression on his face, he asked, "Henry, how did you see the terrain below clearly?"

Li Changheng shrugged, "We are lucky, or maybe God thinks we haven't had the time to meet him yet."

"That's right, that's right."

Seeing that Li Changheng didn't want to answer, Jim didn't pursue the question, and at this moment, all his thoughts were on opening the lunar module and standing on the moon.

"Houston, I'm going to open the hatch."

"Understood", and then a voice in the earphone said, "God, I can finally catch my breath, congratulations."

Li Changheng knew immediately that it was the voice of the project director.

Nodding to Jim with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he saw this guy happily take two steps to the hatch.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the safety of the hatch, and turned the encryption valve.

There was a violent sound of wind, and the gas in the lunar module quickly entered the moon, and the sound disappeared within a few seconds.

Then the whole world was left with the sound of his own breathing, which suddenly made people feel that the silence was terrifying.

According to the procedure, Li Changheng turned off everything that should be turned off and turned on everything that should be turned on.

Several lights outside the lunar module were turned on.

The picture on the earth was immediately transferred to the external camera of the lunar module by the people in Houston.

I saw an astronaut wearing a heavy space suit, stepping out of the lunar module and climbing on the exposed metal ladder.

Climb down step by step.

When there were four spiral ladders left, Jim held the spiral ladder with both hands, and his feet flew into the air and landed directly on the half-meter-diameter landing frame disc.

"God, I, what did I see?"

People all over the world were drawn to imagination by Jim's words.

But the people who are most nervous are the people in the aviation center.

Just as he was thinking about whether to interrupt the live broadcast, Jim used the live broadcast equipment hanging on his chest to aim at the ground a few meters away.

Thanks to the fact that this live broadcast is the world's first color TV broadcast.

About 200 million people were full of doubts at this time, or looked at the screen with their mouths covered, and an orange color appeared in a two-meter-square area.

When Jim walked over quickly, Li Changheng was standing at the opening of the lunar module door.

Then I quickly realized in my heart that this must be volcanic glass.

Not to mention the orange ore, in the rock samples brought back by Apollo 12, there are also white plagioclase, green olivine, brown pyroxene, and black iron-titanium oxide.

Even the future No. 17 brought back a crystal.

And that's only from the lunar surface.

In other words, there must be many gemstones and even diamonds in the interior of the moon that are the same as those on the earth.

After jumping off the lunar module, Li Changheng's eyes were on the edge of the circular crater hundreds of meters away.

I thought about how I would get out of this crater.

Now that they have arrived on the moon, and because of the advancement of technology, the time he and Jim can stay on the moon is nearly twice as long as the 22 hours of Apollo 11.

Almost 3 days definitely can't stay here all the time.

Leaving Jim alone, Li Changheng found the unload switch of the lunar module.

I thought about the sound of "Zi Zi Zi" in my heart, but the reality was that the lunar rover and various scientific research equipment were unloaded without any sound.

Then he turned and looked around, and finally set his sights on the electric instrument panel of the lunar all-terrain vehicle.

"Houston, Houston, I need to know how long it takes for this crater to reach the sun?"

This moon landing absorbed the crisis of Apollo 13, the command module, and the lunar module that were extremely short of power, and brought a ridiculously low absorption efficiency, but a solar panel that can really charge.

But this solar panel is the most direct reason why he and Jim can stay 40 hours longer than on the 11th.
