The start of science and technology
Chapter 71
"Is it true that academician Du Xingyu is the captain of the Mars mission?" Lu Jiajia asked.
"Yes," he Jingcheng said.
"It''s really amazing!" Lu Jiajia said to the camera. "The long space trip requires great courage and wisdom. Exploring Mars is a feat never seen by mankind! Everyone, let''s look forward to the Mars mission in five days. At that time, national television 1 will broadcast the whole process live, and audience friends can watch it through the network platform. We''ll see you and see you!"
Lu Jiajia also made a simple interview with Du Xingyu and the task team members in the same period. These clips can be used in the later programs.
"Academician Du, good luck and have a nice trip!" Lu Jiajia said after the interview.
"I accept your good words," said Du Xingyu.
Everything is ready, and finally it''s time for the launch of the Mars spacecraft Yinghuo.
On TV, computer and mobile phone screens, countless viewers have long looked forward to it.
"Now let''s go into the Changhai launch center and see the true face of the Mars spacecraft Yinghuo!" Lu Jiajia showed the audience in the TV lens.
On the launch platform, people can clearly see a huge spaceship.
It looks more like a strong rocket at the moment. Its head is a bullet head shape to reduce air resistance, and its trunk is a cylindrical space capsule. Many parts, such as solar wings and signal towers, are folded inside at the moment.
After entering space, these folding parts will unfold, and the appearance of the whole spacecraft will change greatly!
"This is the fluorescein?" Du Xingyu''s family was full of people at the moment.
Not only Du Xingyu''s parents, but also his seven aunts came and looked at the screen nervously.
"Xiaoyu is in that ship?"
"Great! Duze, you''re still playing with your cell phone. Look at your cousin. He''s going to Mars!"
"When he returns to earth, we''ll pick him up at the scene!"
"It''s really a credit to our ancestors!" the elders of the Du family said happily.
Xingyao company, Dong Jiangbo, Wang Wei, Lv Liang and others are also watching the live broadcast. With the continuous successful launch of rockets and space shuttles, Xingyao company is now a world-famous commercial aerospace company.
Their success and confidence come from the man on the ship, Du Xingyu!
"President Du, I know what you said will come true!" Chengfeng space service company, Fang Jiayou and company members are watching.
Their company has successfully brought 12 tourists into space and experienced a one-day tour of space and space station.
Now Chengfeng space service company is also a popular company in the capital market. They plan to carry out moon travel and space transportation services in the next step.
In the classroom of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the teachers changed the teaching content. Today''s course is to watch the live broadcast of the Mars spacecraft.
Young students looked at the electronic screen curiously and nervously to witness this great moment!
All over China, including all over the world, there are a large number of people watching the launch of the Mars spacecraft Yinghuo.
Foreign television stations even bought the right to broadcast live on Mars spacecraft and provided it to foreign audiences.
The US space agency, the European Space Agency, the Russian Space Agency... National space agencies and some big people are all watching the launch of the fluorescer.
……
"Report to the command center, all members of the fluorescer are ready and wait for the take-off command!" in the Mars spacecraft fluorescer, Du Xingyu and his companions fastened their seat belts and waited in their seats.
"Attention, it''s three minutes before the ignition." he Jingcheng shouted from the command center.
Here, Cao Liang, LU Hong, Liu Yuan, Xiong Ming, Zhang Yan and other leaders and experts of the space agency are all waiting.
Landing on Mars is more important than landing on the moon. The moon is just a small satellite, and Mars is a planet! A planet with an atmosphere!
The most likely first human space colonization planet!
Landing on Mars will open the prelude to human colonization of alien planets!
"I''m so nervous." there are already tens of millions of fans waiting in Du Xingyu''s live studio.
"Say something to the anchor!"
"Specially asked for leave to watch the live broadcast!"
"We''re ready to record the screen! Everyone, today we''re going to witness history!"
"Why didn''t you use rockets? The Americans used four ares V to launch the Mars ship!"
Seeing this problem, Du Xingyu explained: "the performance of our Mars spacecraft Yinghuo is more powerful than that of Taiyin. It doesn''t need a rocket to go into space! It itself carries a nuclear thermal rocket propeller, so Yinghuo can break away from gravity by its own power!"
"Similarly, when we get to Mars, Yinghuo can also land on the surface of Mars and take off by itself."
“6666!”
"Awesome! This is the spaceship. The spaceship relying on the rocket is too weak!"
"So, it''s better than the American Rover?"
At the same time, some Americans watched abroad and saw the explanation translated in English. They also began to talk: "our Mars ship doesn''t seem to have this function!"
"Is China''s Mars spacecraft more advanced than us?"
"No way, this function is completely unnecessary. And they haven''t launched yet. What''s the hurry?"
"What''s the matter? Our Mars ship has set off for five days. It must be faster than them!"
……
Command center, the countdown to the last minute has begun.
With the passage of time, the whole command center was quiet and the needle dropping could be heard.
"Countdown, ten, nine, eight..." he Jingcheng read every word very clearly, and the sense of urgency was conveyed from the command center to the electronic screen.
"Three, two, one! Start!"
At the moment of command transmission, the electronic starter has been triggered. Inside the Mars spacecraft, the nuclear thermal rocket thruster began to exert force and generate huge thrust, sending the Mars into the blue sky.
"Take off!"
"Great, the fluorescein has taken off!"
"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go to Mars!"
"Calm down, you haven''t entered space yet!" the audience are celebrating, but Du Xingyu knows that now is the beginning of the trip to Mars.
Next, they have to go through a 39 day journey to reach Mars!
"The lift off altitude is 47 kilometers."
"The Yinghuo has left the atmosphere and entered the scheduled route."
Du Xingyu shouted to the communicator, "we are about to switch the propulsion system."
"Switch!" everyone in the command center became nervous again. Although the test run of the nuclear ion thruster was successful in the ground laboratory, the answer will be revealed.
"Dear viewers," Du Xingyu explained to the audience while operating the power system switching: "we have broken away from gravity. Now, we will shut down the nuclear thermal propulsion system and adopt the nuclear ion propulsion system independently developed by us!"
"This system will give the spacecraft constant acceleration with the least consumption and let it rush to Mars! We will complete it in 39 days with a distance of more than 50 million kilometers! Create a new record of space navigation speed!"
