Chapter 631 The principle of highest priority

This launch mission to the moon is very special, and there is not even any test run process.

Due to material limitations, if the processes required for normal rocket launches such as test runs are carried out on the moon, the various materials, energy, etc. currently available on the moon are not enough to sustain subsequent rocket launches.

Therefore, this time the rocket is launched on the moon, there is no way to conduct a lot of testing work, and more simulations are relied on to determine the success rate of the rocket launch.

This situation is unique in the world's aerospace history.

Although before this, Xu You had used brain simulation skills to simulate the moon rocket launch scenario many times to ensure that there would be no problems with the moon rocket launch.

But after all, this was the first rocket launch to the moon, but there was no test run process, and even a lot of testing work was skipped.

It can be said that the error tolerance rate for such a rocket launch is very low.

Once any unexpected situation occurs, the entire plan will be in vain.

Of course, if the worst-case scenario that no one wants to see really happens, there will be no room for recovery.

If the rocket on the moon fails to launch successfully, at this time, the spacecraft launched from the Blue Star will replace the spacecraft launched from the moon to impact the asteroid.

And because the momentum of the spacecraft launched from the Blue Star is not enough to deflect the asteroid's trajectory too much, it only needs to keep the asteroid's final landing point away from the black hole on the moon.

But the consequence of this is that the moon will suffer a major blow.

Not only will the entire moon shake violently following the impact, but the lunar scientific research base we have built may also be ruined.

Of course, such a loss is not unacceptable.

Using the loss of the lunar scientific research base in exchange for the safety of the entire Blue Star human race is definitely a very cost-effective exchange.

Xu You is still unable to accurately estimate what impact this impact will have on the moon.

According to Xu You's simulation, after the moon suffers this disaster, it may not be suitable for human landings for several years, because the impact of asteroids will cause serious moonquakes on the moon.

Such moonquakes are difficult to predict and may occur at any time, and the specific magnitude cannot be determined accurately.

This will have a great impact on our future star exploration plans.

As long as he is confident enough, Xu You still hopes that this asteroid will not affect Blue Star or the moon.

At this time, more than a dozen astronauts stationed on the moon were ready.

They were all very nervous, because once the rocket launch failed, they would immediately take a spacecraft to evacuate the moon to prevent the arrival of an asteroid from affecting them.

"Get ready for rocket launch!"

After hearing the command from the control center of Blue Star, the astronauts on the moon pressed the start button of the rocket launch.

"Five, four, three, two, one, launch!"

As the countdown ended, the rocket on the moon finally ignited and began this world-famous launch.

Since there is no atmosphere on the moon and the gravity situation is very different from that of a blue star, rocket launches on the moon face many difficult factors.

Xu You also stared nervously at the situation on the screen, frowning, not daring to miss any detail.

To everyone's relief, the rocket ignition process was very successful, and the Zhengtu-9 rocket took off smoothly.

Xu You stared closely at the data on the screen, quickly calculating in his mind, and comparing it with the data from previous simulations.

The error between the two data is very small, and there were no surprises in the previous process.

"Control center, this is the lunar scientific research base. Do we need an emergency evacuation?"

The representatives of the astronauts on the moon were also nervously watching the rocket after liftoff, and at the same time making inquiries to the control center of the aerospace institute.

As long as there is no special emergency situation that threatens the lives of the astronauts, the astronauts will not evacuate easily.

After all, transporting astronauts from Blue Star to the moon requires a lot of time, energy and money. Before space travel became a common thing, such a flight across the planet would not be easy.

.

After a few seconds, the control center responded.

"This is the control center. Please astronauts stay put and do not carry out the return mission for the time being. Please wait for the next notification, or if you feel that your safety is threatened, you can choose to carry out the return mission."

According to what the control center has learned so far, the launch of the rocket went relatively smoothly, basically as expected, and the safety of astronauts on the moon has not been seriously threatened.

Of course, astronauts also have the right to make their own choices. After all, communications from the Blue Star to the moon may be interrupted unexpectedly.

Moreover, astronauts on the moon may also notice some situations that the control center has not noticed. If any dangerous situation is suddenly discovered, then waiting for orders from the control center will waste precious evacuation time.

As the saying goes, military orders abroad will not be respected, and adaptability to changes is the principle with the highest priority.

At this time, not only the aerospace systems of various countries are paying attention to the launch of this rocket, but billions of people around the world are also paying attention to the launch of this rocket and the upcoming visit to Blue Star through various channels in real time.

Asteroid.

"I didn't expect that this asteroid would eventually visit the Blue Star. Fortunately, Rabbit was here, and I was able to make sufficient preparations before this. I launched a rocket on the moon and blocked the asteroid by impacting the spacecraft.

arrival."

"I don't know much about reading, so I just want to ask a question, why not just use a nuclear device to blow this asteroid to pieces? According to Blue Star's existing nuclear device reserves, it should be enough to blow this asteroid to pieces, right?"

"It may be for safety reasons, or it may be that we don't want to use so many nuclear devices easily, in case that after all these nuclear devices are used up, we will lose the initiative against Blue Star's military threat."

At this time, except for the aerospace systems of several countries, not many people knew that the expected impact site of this asteroid was the moon, not the blue star.

After the rocket launched on the moon flew into the sky, it began the process of rocket separation step by step according to the predetermined procedure.
