Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“5!”

Four!

“ …… ”

“0!”

“Ignite! ”

The vent fired out the flame.

This time, it was the return compartment at the top of the lunar compartment.

Dragging on a brilliant arc of fire, the hemispherical aircraft separated from the large base, easily escaped the moon's gravitational constraints and slowly flew into space in an oblique upward direction.

Meanwhile, the Xiangrui cruise in the lunar orbit began to slow down and to greet the return chamber up in the air.

Three hundred and eighty thousand kilometers away, on the large screen of Ground Command, our staff in the command room saw only two white spots marking the spacecraft, slowly approaching, approaching and finally melting into one after flying in parallel in the same direction for some time under orbit for 127 minutes...

Immediately afterwards, there was a vibrant voice in the communication screen.

“… this is the Xiangrui, the return compartment has been successfully received, requesting instructions for the next step. ”

Hou Guang, standing in front of the command deck, ordered immediately: “This is Ground Command. After hearing the order, please return immediately. ”

Two seconds later, an answer came.

“Copy that.”

After obtaining orders from the ground command, the blue light from the vents of the five engines gradually amplified, pushing Xiangrui to begin accelerating, moving from a 127-minute orbit to a 3.5-hour orbit and then from a 3.5-hour orbit to a 12-hour orbit.

After a few hours of slow acceleration, the Xiangrui returned to its nearest moon point and finally reached a lunar escape rate of 2.4 km/s, successfully entering the Earth Moon Transfer Orbit.

After entering orbit, the flight continued for a short time, and Neiyun, sitting in the cockpit, skilfully shut down the engine and switched to cruise mode. With Earth's gravitational pull, Xiangrui will gradually accelerate in the return section before successfully entering a 48-hour orbit.

This is the best return route calculated based on the ground command supercomputer.

It is also the only safe route to safely return to the atmosphere with the remaining 9% of propulsion!

Long flights have lasted more than fifty hours.

At last, in the morning of the sixth year, the Cheung Rui came from deep space, approaching the edge of the atmosphere.

Until yesterday night, before the end of the curtain, the North American media appeared to be adhering to their final pride, accusing the Chinese side of ignoring the safety of astronauts and testing immature technology with their lives under news headings such as "Successful climbing of the moon does not mean they can return successfully”.

Today, however, Xiangrui's successful appearance at the atmospheric boundary has left many NASA experts, as well as North American journalists, mute.

Not only in North America, but space centers around the world, space enthusiasts, and even melon eaters who are usually indifferent to space, are watching the Xiangrui cruise on the edge of the atmosphere.

Especially the people.

The heartstrings of countless nations were held by the ship.

This is already the last 100 meters of the marathon.

Successful landing on the Moon is proud, but success in bringing the fruits of victory back from the Moon to the surface is the key to a final victory!

“… this is the Cheung Rui, we have successfully entered our return orbit,” took a deep breath, changed to Nie Yun in the capsule suit, said with a calm voice, "will come into contact with the atmosphere in five minutes. ”

Not for long, the voice of the ground command came.

“… Roger, good luck. ”

Five minutes later, Xiangrui's belly began to come into contact with the atmosphere. As the wing deceleration plate opened, it slowed down while being gradually pulled to the ground by Earth's gravity and thrown out again.

After several turns, the Cheung Rui finally entered the dense section of the atmosphere.

Fifty kilometers!

Ten kilometers!

Five kilometers!

Two kilometers!

There it is!

The clouds were broken.

When Xiangrui appeared in the blue sky for a moment, ground crews standing on the runway of the space launch center, engineers and technicians in the ground command center couldn't help but cheer and praise for the hard-won victory.

The huge fuselage slowly landed and the landing gear dropped smoothly on the runway.

Meanwhile, the reducer umbrella ejected backwards, dragging the Xiangrui slowly to a halt.

As the Cheung Sui stagnated, the mobile ladder was held up by ground crews and reporters carrying cameras.

The thick alloy hatch door slowly opened outward after a whiff of air leakage, and the three astronauts quickly appeared in people's sights.

In people's cheers, Liu Zhengwen walked down the Xiangrui with a ladder armrest. He looked at everything in front of him and just felt like he was dreaming.

I...

A hero?

Blood boils in the blood vessels and tears fill the eyes.

At that moment, he felt the responsibility and pressure that had been placed on him over the past few days and all the efforts that had been made to do so.

Everything is so worthwhile...

……

From the moment the aircraft landed successfully, the mission of the ground command ended, and the engineers and technicians working there either went to the runway outside the command tower or returned to the lounge for a break.

A number of people have been on the job for 24 hours.

Even if it's iron, it won't hold up anymore.

In particular, Ground Command Commander Hou Guang has not closed his eyes since the shuttle entered its 24-hour orbit. After seeing the Xiangrui landing, the whole person looked like a stimulant and took the lead and threw down his headset and ran out of the command room.

Looks like he's going to see for himself on the runway before he goes back for a break.

Standing on the command tower, looking far away at the three astronauts crowded with ground crews and journalists on the runway, the stone hanging in the heart of the ark finally dropped, and the corner of his mouth had to pull a smile.

Yan Yeon, one step behind him, said with amusement.

“Won't you go down and grab a mirror? ”

Originally watching the plane come down, she was still worried about hanging. Afraid that this guy would come into close contact with the ground again because of overexcitement. As a result, this time something she was worried about didn't happen until the plane landed, the mental state of the ark was fine.

I can't help but feel some comfort in Yan Yeon's heart.

Looks like he did listen to what he said.

After hearing the sound of Yeon Yeon, he looked down at the boat of the crowd outside the window and laughed.

“No need. ”

“My reward has just been received. ”

Leaving this unintelligible message, under the gaze of a foggy Yeon, the ark turned to the door of the command room.

Just two minutes ago, he had been alerted to the completion of a branch task from the system.

Now that the branch reward has been recycled, he can't wait to find a place to lie down and see what the next phase of the task is...
