Chapter 508 The scar is revealed again

At long distances, even at the speed of light, propagation will not be completed instantaneously.

The time it takes for the signal to travel back and forth takes one to two seconds.

At this time, apart from issuing macro commands to the spacecraft, the staff in the control room had nothing else to do.

Everything depends on whether the entire flight control system can withstand the test.

Xu You quietly looked at the pictures on the screen and the various real-time data coming in, his expression looking calm and firm.

Xu You has full confidence in the entire project and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

Although Xu You did not participate in all the core work, during the testing stage, Xu You had already strictly controlled all parts.

Xu You needs to ensure that even if it encounters the most extreme and harsh conditions, this mission must be successful.

"The spacecraft successfully entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit!"

After continuous acceleration, the spacecraft finally completed the crossing of the orbit, and a burst of warm applause came from the entire control room again.

Although we have already had experience in successfully transferring the Earth-Moon orbit when launching lunar probes before.

But after all, the two missions are not at the same level in terms of carrying capacity.

When the carrying capacity increases several times, the difficulty of the task also increases exponentially.

"Now you can see that our spacecraft has successfully entered the Earth-Moon transfer orbit. This means that the spacecraft is constantly overcoming the earth's gravity and starting to fly to the moon. Next, the spacecraft will gradually be captured by the moon and proceed

Brake and slow down, and finally enter the lunar orbit."

The success of the mission is getting closer and closer, and the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the screen are becoming more and more excited.

Even though this live broadcast has lasted for several hours, everyone is still unwilling to miss every detail, hoping to guard it until the moment the spacecraft successfully enters the lunar orbit.

At this time, multiple images from different angles are displayed on the screen at the same time, allowing the audience to observe the dynamics of the spacecraft in an all-round way.

As we watched the spacecraft approach the lunar orbit little by little, everyone's excitement was about to reach its highest point.

"The spacecraft successfully entered the lunar orbit!"

Following the announcement from the staff, the warmest applause erupted in the entire control room.

This time, everyone finally no longer has to worry and can celebrate the success of the mission with confidence.

Although Xu You didn't applaud happily like the others.

But at this time, Xu You nodded vigorously, feeling full of excitement in his heart.

The success of this mission indicates that the Zhengtu-9 rocket has successfully withstood the rigorous test, and the entire aircraft control system performed perfectly as everyone expected.

It is getting closer and closer to our astronauts actually landing on the moon.

…

The news of the successful launch of Zhengtu-9 suddenly occupied news headlines around the world.

"China successfully launched Zhengtu-9, a heavy-duty launch vehicle with a carrying capacity of up to 150 tons in low-Earth orbit, marking that they have taken a critical step in the moon landing project!"

"With a perfect rocket launch, China's aerospace technology has become a model for the world!"

"It's a foregone conclusion? China will become the first country to achieve a manned moon landing in the 21st century!"

For a time, the focus of discussion among people around the world centered on the successful launch of Zhengtu-9 and the manned moon landing in the near future.

The previous failed launch of the Sam rocket was in sharp contrast.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. The results of Zhengtu No. 9 have once again severely opened up Sam's scars.

"Why, why can Rabbit's rocket launch so smoothly, but ours can't!"

After the white-haired old man learned the news, he complained angrily in his palace.

What made him even more angry was that Sam had several valuable moon landing experiences decades ago.

On the other hand, Rabbit started almost from scratch and achieved technological progress step by step.

If even the aerospace field is allowed to be surpassed by Rabbit.

Then Sam will be severely defeated again in the technological competition with Rabbit.

"Sir, the reason for the failure of the last rocket launch has been found."

At this time, a man went up and told the old man the news.

"Oh? Have the wreckage of our rocket been found?"

"No, not yet. However, we have conducted more rigorous tests on the rocket. During the test, the same fault occurred perfectly again. After simulation by the simulation model, it is indeed consistent with the last fault."

"Then why didn't we detect this fault before?"

"This fault will only occur under extreme conditions, and it is difficult to detect it with conventional testing. In addition, because the launch time is advanced, some testing work under extreme conditions has to be omitted."

Hearing the news, the old man felt a little complicated.

He can be said to be the initiator of the advancement of the launch plan.

However, if they do not improve their progress as soon as possible, they will easily be overtaken by Rabbit and lose their dominance in the aerospace field.

This was a huge blow to Sam.

No matter what, we must try our best to maintain the advantages we have gained over the past few decades.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. Now that we have found the reason, it is better than not finding it. Until they successfully land on the moon, everything is still unknown."

After a pause, the old man continued: "By the way, what did Xu You and Johnson talk about last time?"

"According to Johnson, Xu You provided an analysis of the reasons for our rocket launch failure."

The old man was stunned when he heard this.

"Analysis? What did he use to analyze it? We didn't even release the images of the whole process to the outside world. How could they analyze it faster than us?"

"But... sir, it turns out that Xu You's analysis is completely correct."

Upon hearing this, the old man was stunned and sat motionless in his chair.

"Xu You... is really a rare genius in the world. It's a pity that he is not a Sam person..."

…

After the successful first launch mission of Zhengtu-9, Xu You quickly came out of his excitement.

A successful launch is far from time for complete celebration.

Next, there is still a lot of work waiting for them to solve.

Xu You carefully analyzed the various data sent back by the spacecraft this time.

Even if the mission is overall very successful, it does not mean that there is no room for improvement in the entire process.

While Xu You was analyzing the data, a staff member walked over to Xu You.

"Professor Xu, Sam Space Agency would like to speak with you again."
