Chapter 765 Our Moon Palace!

When the "cargo compartment started successfully" declaring victory, spanning a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers and reaching the ground command center, deafening cheers erupted in the command tower.

People hugged each other, high-fived each other, and celebrated this hard-won victory.

Standing in front of the control console, Director Li's Adam's apple of the Bureau of Science and Industry moved slightly, and tears filled his wrinkled face at some point.

"We succeeded..."

On the big screen directly in front, the silver-white core module of the Moon Palace was floating steadily above the moon, and the distance between it and the Xiangrui was gradually lengthening.

Also looking at the exciting picture on the big screen, Lu Zhou showed a gratified smile on his face, and his shoulders that had been tense and began to be a little stiff finally relaxed. He nodded and said.

"Yeah...we succeeded!"

From today onwards, the Moon Palace will serve as Huaguo's starting point on the moon, and Huaguo's spacecraft and space engineering equipment will also continue to go deeper into the moon, covering the orbit and surface of the moon in the not-too-distant future...

Reporters from the major media were invited to a special meeting room. The spokesperson sent by the Bureau of Science and Industry, together with the professionals sent by the participating companies such as Hangke Group and Xingkong Technology, answered questions from the reporters of the major media.

At the same time, the busyness in the launch tower did not stop.

Although the mission belonging to the Xiangrui has ended, for the staff of the ground command center, their mission has just begun.

The navigation including the return of the Xiangrui, including the remote control of the Moon Palace space station, must be carried out by ground commanders.

After standing in the command tower for a while, Lu Zhou left the ground command center without disturbing their work.

Just as he crossed the launch track and walked towards the gate of the launch center, he happened to see a reporter lady holding a microphone and interviewing the ground crew who had just finished clearing the runway.

After seeing Lu Zhou, the reporter's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the microphone and walked over quickly with the photographer behind her.

"Hi, we are journalists from **, are you Professor Lu?"

Lu Zhou, who was in a good mood, smiled and replied, "Yes, is there any question?"

"Do you have time now? I want to ask you a few questions for the national audience waiting in front of the TV."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "As long as I can answer."

Showing a beautiful smile, the lady reporter handed out the microphone and asked in a pleasant voice: "We all know that Xingkong Technology has become the most advanced space launch company in our country and even in the entire Asian region. Would it be convenient for Professor Lu to disclose it?" Will Xingkong Technology consider expanding its business field to space station construction or satellite design in the next step?"

Lu Zhou thought for a moment, then said.

"I won't think about it for the time being. My position for the Space Launch Project Department of Xingkong Technology is to build an interplanetary high-speed rail. In the future, the launch project may be extended from the moon to Mars, or even more distant galaxies. But the core business and the main technology research and development direction, It will still focus on the research and development and improvement of spacecraft. For example, our ongoing projects belong to this type..."

Upon hearing these words, the reporter's eyes lit up.

Her keen professional sense told her that a big news was waiting for her.

So, without any hesitation, she immediately stretched out the microphone in her hand and asked while restraining the excitement in her tone.

"What is the specific project? Could you please tell me?"

Do you want to release the news at this time?

Lu Zhou thought for a while, then he had an idea in his mind, and said.

"Considering that the demand for launches on the moon in the future will be above the kiloton level, we are considering building a corridor between the synchronous orbit and the moon that can go back and forth quickly, which is specially used for the movement of materials between the earth orbit and the moon orbit, and ..."

The lady reporter asked excitedly, "And?"

Lu Zhou smiled and continued: "And, it is convenient for us to send more people who are interested in the moon to the moon."

...

On the day when the Moon Palace successfully entered orbit, it was 7:00 p.m. Beijing time.

Officially announced the news that the Moon Palace successfully entered orbit.

At the same time, with the lifting of the news confidentiality time limit, all major media who participated in the press conference of the Bureau of Science and Industry have also released the relevant interview content to the public.

After the announcement of the successful entry of the Moon Palace into orbit, Huaguo's feat in lunar orbit once again shocked the world.

Since the Cold War era, rocket launch technology has improved with each passing day, and the radius of exoplanet probes has repeatedly hit new highs. The number of satellites and space junk orbiting the earth has also been increasing exponentially.

However, even so, there is still no country that can truly repair a space station weighing tens of tons to the lunar orbit. Because this test is not only about high-thrust rockets and satellite launch technology, but also a huge test for satellite control technology.

After all, the mass of the moon is not uniform, and the gravity of the moon is too small compared to the planet. Satellites orbiting the moon will be more affected by the gravitational pull from other planets and even stars.

Under the influence of these two factors, it is difficult for a spacecraft operating in lunar orbit to maintain the same orbit for a long time. It must actively change orbits according to changes in the gravitational environment in order to be able to operate stably for a long time.

Most lunar exploration satellites have a relatively short service life, and they are usually the kind that are thrown away when they are used up. However, the Moon Palace space station, which cost tens of billions, is obviously impossible to throw away like ordinary satellites around the moon. The service life of a single space station is at least 20 years or more.

It can be seen that even with excellent propulsion technology, if there is no equally excellent control technology as an aid, the space station in the sky will be like a strong lame man, and no matter how good the physical exercise is, it will not be able to live like a normal person.

Fortunately, with Xingkong Technology and Jinling Advanced Research Institute, Huaguo has gone further than other countries in electric propulsion technology.

The Moon Palace space station equipped with an electric propulsion system that can provide stable and continuous thrust has relatively lower requirements on the control system.

Of course, even so, the Air Science Group, which did this, paid a considerable price.

The whole several-meter-long core cabin almost gathers the most advanced technologies of the two giants of Aerospace Science and Aerospace Science and Technology, especially the main control computer. The "Sunway" Taihu Lake is also invited from the National Parallel Computer Engineering Technology Research Center. Light's design team completed the design.

Not only is it the technological crystallization of Huaguo's aerospace industry, but it is not an exaggeration to call it the crystallization of Huaguo's entire science and technology!

At the same time, in addition to the report on the news itself, the news network spent an entire episode reporting on the front and back of the entire Moon Palace project, and at the end of the program, a ten-minute video.

During the last manned landing on the moon, due to insufficient preparation, the real-time live broadcast of the scene was not broadcast to the people waiting in front of the TV, mobile phone and computer screen.

But this time, it was different from last time.

The Xiangrui, which has upgraded its communication system, not only used redundant communication resources to send back the high-definition photos taken by the Moon Palace, but also recorded the entire process of the Moon Palace from getting out of the cabin to entering orbit.

When this video was edited by professionals and released on news programs and online social media, the topic of related topics was completely detonated...
