Chapter 725: Stepping Into The Starry Sky

Since the end of the Apollo 17 mission to the moon in December 1972, no one has ventured beyond Earth's orbit or stepped on the surface of the moon. The Cheung Rui, sailing in the cold, dark moon transfer orbit, is like a lonely boat in the sea, suffering a lonely baptism.

Outside the side windows are pitch-black, a kind of dead silence and cold that is completely different from the nights on Earth. This darkness is like coming from another world, diving ten kilometres below the sea, staring down into the invisible abyss.

After nearly forty hours of sailing, the dark gray planet is finally approaching.

Looking at the slowly approaching planet, Nie Yun, holding the joystick, took a slow, deep breath.

“This is the Xiangrui. We have been in orbit for 12 hours and are close to the Moon...”

Sitting in the passenger seat in the back row, Liu Zhengwen also stared at the nearer and nearer planet, feeling his heart beating faster.

Half because of excitement, half because of an emotion he couldn't describe himself.

After about five minutes, he suddenly remembered one thing, and his subconscious spoke.

“Speaking of which... who will be the first to go up there? ”

When asked about this sentence, Liu Zhengwen felt a little burned in the face. Although he didn't mean to grab work or say greedy name, he always felt like he was doing the same thing when asked about it. In fact, he just thinks it's better to ask this controversial thing before the mission starts.

However, Nie Yun laughed less carelessly when he heard this statement.

“You can come first. ”

Liu Zhengwen said somewhat embarrassingly.

“No, you go first. ”

He drove the Xiangrui too, anyway.

Nie Yun said with a smile: "I have to stay on the Cheung Rui, I'm afraid I can't go up with you. ”

During the lunar task, the main driver must remain on the Xiangrui to ensure that the systems on the Xiangrui are functioning properly. After all, although it can be switched to cruise mode and automatically wrapped around in the established orbit, the machine is not always reliable, and an experienced driver has to stay on top of it at the critical time.

So in this glorious and great moment, he can only watch them cast their flag on this land in heaven.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't really care about it.

Liu Zhengwen asked slightly nervously: "Am I going up alone? ”

Niehun raised his thumb and pointed to Nieh sitting next to him: "Don't worry, she will come up with you and bring you back. ”

Liu Zhengwen immediately said: “Then why don't she go up first? ”

“Never mind me, it doesn't matter if I'm the first one to go up," Nie chuckled. “Anyway, I'm the first woman to step on the moon. ”

Neiyun looked at her unexpectedly: "Is there no female astronaut on the Apollo? ”

Liu Zhengwen: “… I don't think so. I think all 12 astronauts are men. ”

Nie Yun slightly suddenly went down.

“So that's it. ”

No wonder it requires the selection of a female astronaut.

The significance of the space race, in addition to investing in the future, is to take first place.

But is that cheap from the Americans?

……

Even close to the moon, it is unlikely that the Sky Shuttle Xiangrui would want to leave the moon deck at its current speed.

After a week of 12-hour orbit operation, Neiyun drove the Xiangrui and, with the help of the Ground Command Center, quickly completed a 3.5-hour to 127-minute orbit change. Meanwhile, Xiangrui's trajectory around the moon has succeeded in becoming a similar circle, adjusting the speed and direction to a relatively safe level.

Reaching out and pressing on the helmet, Nie Yun took a deep breath and said.

“… this is the Xiangrui, we have successfully entered orbit for 127 minutes and will arrive over the landing site in 25 minutes to request permission to board the moon module. ”

“This is the Ground Command Center, clearing the moon. ”

“Roger!”

At the end of the communication, Niehun looked back at Liu Zhengwen, who was sitting in the passenger's seat.

“Twenty-five minutes to the moon, go get ready. ”

“Okay!”

The environmental protection system was disarmed, and the two astronauts, with mutual help, changed into out-of-board space suits, and under the supervision of Nie Yun, inspected the condition of the suit.

“Feeding device activated! ”

“Check the oxygen margin. ”

“100% Oxygen Balance for 4 Hours of Outboard Activity! ”

“Test the active injection system. ”

“Yes!”

As I learned during the training, Liu Zhengwen hooked up to the side bar with a hook between his waist and then extended his hand to press the button on his left arm. The backpack behind him gave a slight breeze and a soft force pushed him forward.

However, this gentle force did not push him too far, and he quickly stabilized himself with the help of a fixed hook lock.

“… active injection system is normal! ”

Nieh Yun nodded his head and cast his gaze towards Nieh, who stood beside him.

All the testing procedures were completed as well, and Nieh nodded and replied: "Everything is fine. ”

Nie Yun nodded.

“Start boarding. Good luck! ”

“Required.”

With a slight smile in the front of his mouth, Nieh stretched out his fist and touched his brother, and then crossed the hatch in a dazzling fashion.

Liu Zhengwen nodded to Nie Yun and followed Nie's footsteps closely.

Looking at the closed hatch, Neiyun, the glorious man, was silent for a while and slowly lifted his right hand for a military ceremony.

Then he said solemnly with a voice that only he could hear himself.

“Take care! ”

Success or failure in this move.

After a five-minute voyage, Xiangrui arrived in the target airspace, and as the hatch door opened, a pitch-black egg-shaped object was separated from the belly of Xiangrui.

The fire flashed gently, with the help of two pairs of chemical fuel engines, falling into the lunar chamber like a meteorite, pulling an arc over the moon and falling on a deserted moon soil.

Rolling moon dust rises.

Whether sitting on the Xiangrui or in the ground command center 380,000 kilometers away, staring at the aerial scene for more than a second, the fist was squeezed tightly at this moment, and the string in the heart was squeezed tightly.

Slowly, the moon hatch door opened.

A figure stood at the hatch door.

Everyone held their breath.

In addition to Liu Zhengwen standing at the hatch door, he took a deep breath.

Then he leapt gently out of the cabin.

The light body is like a goose fur, falling down with the floating dust of the moon.

When the sole touched the moon soil lightly, he just felt the blood boiling all over his body, like it was burning.

Meanwhile, just moments after he set foot on the moon, in the command room, more than 380,000 kilometres away, a whole deafening cheer erfully erupted.

People embrace each other, tears and orbits.

They did it!

Successfully landed on the moon!

At this moment, they write history!
