Chapter 1 Rocket Takes Off

 "There is nothing on the far side of the moon."

On September 20, 2030, in front of countless reporters, Han Xu, who returned from the back of the moon, said this sentence in accordance with the instructions of his superiors.

Han Xu opened the palm of his left hand and saw the special symbol on his palm. He couldn't help but think back to the morning when he boarded the manned moon landing rocket.

On September 11, 2030, the Lunar 11 carrier rocket carrying Houyi 2 will be launched from the No. 45 C launch tower of the launch center.

Prior to this, the three astronauts on board the Lunar 11 launch vehicle had gone to space three times, but this time, they were not only going to space, but also going to the moon, and the far side of the moon.

After the great success of the lunar landing plan, the manned lunar landing plan was also launched. Han Xu, one of the three astronauts, was told that the plan must be carried out as soon as possible in the short term. Even with the current technological level, the manned lunar landing plan must be carried out.

The manned moon landing plan carries huge risks, but they still have to go.

In the early stages of the plan, the progress was extremely unsatisfactory. They had a difficulty that was difficult to overcome, and the main astronauts were injured during high-intensity training.

After knowing that they planned to land on the moon, country M immediately made all-out preparations to land on the back of the moon. If country K were allowed to land on the back of the moon first, it would be too late.

Time was tight and there was no time to select new astronauts, so Han Xu, a substitute astronaut, was temporarily appointed.

"We will inevitably encounter failure, and in the next plan to land on the far side of the moon, someone is likely to die, but we must land on the moon, and the manned lunar landing plan must not be postponed, because there are things on the far side of the moon that we must get back

Something!"

Because he was too young and was a substitute astronaut, Han Xu did not know much inside information. He and his two teammates climbed onto the prepared Houyi 2 spacecraft, which was located on the Lunar 11 launch vehicle.

the top of.

After entering the Houyi 2 spacecraft, Han Xu smelled the pungent smell of roasted milk, which made him frown. He knew very well that he would never smell this smell while wearing a space suit.

,This is just his psychological effect.

However, Han Xu's teammate Nangong Yue also frowned: "It smells like decay."

Nangong Yue is the team leader in this moon landing plan. He is 35 years old and at the peak of physical fitness of an adult. Although his name is very feminine, he is a man. He has many experiences in space travel, but he is also the one who goes to the moon.

First time.

Lunar 11 is ready, and the tower has started counting down. For this moon landing, they have conducted dozens of manned lunar landing simulation trainings, and have made three trips to and from the atmosphere.

The main astronaut was injured during the third training, so Han Xu was completely rushed to the shelf. Not only was he the first time to land on the moon, but also the first time to go to space.

"The countdown begins!"

"10,9,8...3,2,1!"

"Light the fire!"

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the Lunar 11 rocket that Han Xu was riding on immediately vibrated. A few seconds later, Han Xu felt a strong pushing sensation on his back.

As the flight time extended, Han Xu saw through the circular window that the earth's ground was getting farther and farther away from him.

He could clearly feel gravity pulling him desperately, but the push seemed to be stronger. He resisted this powerful force and gritted his teeth.

The Lunar 11 rocket continued to rise. After reaching the stratosphere, the first-stage thruster immediately fell off, and the second-stage thruster instantly exploded with all its propulsion power.

Luna 11 immediately continued to rise with stronger propulsion.

The three members of the moon landing team tried their best to resist the pressure until the rocket left the atmosphere. At this time, the feeling of overweight weakened little by little, and the three people even felt like they were floating.

Because this was the fourth time they had been to space, the three of them were not surprised or surprised at all by this launch.

Through the window, Han Xu saw their crystal clear spherical home, with intertwined white and blue patterns, surrounded by a thin layer of aqua blue gauze, crimson land, and azure ocean.

Snow-white mountains, everything is so clearly visible.

As the flight time extended, Han Xu saw the blue sphere getting smaller. He saw the curved horizon and even the planet wrapped in endless darkness.

Although he was surrounded by his two teammates, Han Xu couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

At this time, another teammate of Han Xu, Chu Fei, spoke: "In this endless darkness, the earth is so small and lonely. When travelers from other civilizations stand in this position, how will they view the earth?



Chu Fei is the most important person in this manned moon landing plan, because she is a biologist unlike Han Xu and Nangong Yue who are former pilots.

Why do we need a biologist to join the manned moon landing program? Why do we need to take a biologist to the far side of the moon?

Han Xu didn’t know all this.

Han Xu asked: "How did humans feel when they first saw this blue planet suspended in the endless dark universe?"

Team leader Nangong Yue replied: "Maybe we feel the same endless loneliness as we do now, but..."

Nangong Yue turned her gaze to the other side. There was an old, cold, lifeless planet with a mottled surface, and there was an unknown secret hidden on the back of the planet.

Han Xu also looked at the satellite that plays an important role in mythology, and his expression was solemn.

After the successful launch of Lunar 11, the Lunar 12 rocket was also launched one after another, and what this rocket sent into space was a lunar module named Yuetu 7.

At this moment, the Houyi 2 space capsule, which has completely separated from the rocket, will only reach the moon, and then rotate around the moon. What is really going to fall to the back of the moon is the new Yuetu 7 lunar landing module.

30 minutes later, after the Houyi 2 space capsule and the Yuetu 7 lunar module docked, they began to head for the moon.

All three of them could see the gleaming Yuetu 7 lunar module through the portholes. The Yuetu 7 lunar module was sent into space and stopped under the Houyi 2 space capsule.

Subsequently, under the control of an intelligent computer, Yuetu 7 began to decelerate and rise, then climbed to the altitude of the orbit of the Houyi 2 space capsule, and began docking.

The docking process went very smoothly. Han Xu only felt a slight collision, and then the two docked successfully.

After that, Nangong Yue pressed a button, and the propeller of the successfully docked Houyi 2 was immediately ignited, and then it took the newly arrived Yuetu 7 into the orbit of the earth.

The second phase of the moon landing plan: After the space capsule circled the earth for one and a half times, the third-stage sub-rocket suddenly ignited and used the gravitational slingshot of the earth to shoot the spacecraft to the moon.

The three of them were relieved that the docking went smoothly, when bad news suddenly came from the Earth Command Center:
Chapter completed!
