spn Time flies very fast, and it is almost the end of March, and there are only a few days left before April 5, 1948. April 5 is the traditional festival of the empire, Qingming Festival. The empire announced a few months ago that it will be held on this day

Carry out the Chang'e moon landing project.

The media at home and abroad have already been talking about it excitedly. The empire's media outlets, large and small, all believe that this moon landing will definitely succeed and will never fail.

"We have created miracles again and again, and this time is no exception. We have the most powerful scientific and technological power in the world, we have the smartest team of scientists, we have the most advanced manufacturing technology, and we even have knives.

A multi-meter-long giant spaceship in the atmosphere.

Of course, we believe in the Chairman more because he has never lied to us or let us down. When the Chairman says yes to us, it means that the Chairman is ready, as it has always been."

However, foreign media, especially Americans, some South American tabloids, and European newspapers sourly believe that this is an impossible thing.[

Son...Although the Chinese people have shown the world their extremely advanced missile technology and more advanced transport ship manufacturing technology, I don't think they have the ability to land on the moon.

You must know that breaking through the bow force of the planet and allowing the spacecraft to successfully reach the moon will be a long process, an extremely remote journey of 300,000 kilometers, the huge gravity generated by the earth, the extremely complex space environment, and the mysterious and dangerous moon.

surface.

They may not have even conducted a space experiment before rushing to announce a moon landing plan. I think the Chinese were too risky this time."

"Verne once described to us in science fiction novels some huge spacecraft that can easily fly into space, as well as an even more bizarre way of landing on the moon, which is to use a huge cannon to directly launch the equipment on which people are riding.

If they are lucky in space, they will land on the moon.

The Chinese people also had legends about the moon. They believed that thousands of years ago, a fairy named Chang'e flew to the moon smoothly after eating a magical elixir. This is a myth and legend.

So, today, thousands of years later, can their Chang'e still fly to the moon as she wished? Let us wait and see..."

Different from the debates and speculations in the media and classical circles, citizens of the entire empire, and even citizens of many foreign countries, began to eagerly look forward to this grand event.

Enterprises, institutions, government departments, streets, villages and towns are organizing related activities, celebrations and other matters. Everyone is arranging their own time and trying to stagger the time so as not to miss this great day.

"We, the Chinese nation, have dreamed of landing on the moon for thousands of years. From generation to generation, our generation has been unlucky enough to see a real moon landing. If we miss it, our ancestors will blame themselves."

This is the most realistic thought of ordinary people.

Whether they are good people or bad people, businessmen or civil servants, and even prisoners in prison, they are all looking forward to this prosperous time.

Cars on the streets are being more careful and the crime rate has also dropped significantly. Small vendors have begun to stock up on goods to avoid selling out in those days. Even the logistics industry that does not celebrate the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday is working overtime to complete its tasks and regards April 5th as a special day.

On rest days, even prisoners in prison gather you to report, hoping to see the majesty of the moon landing.

Hanking Daily held an activity: What does the spaceship in your imagination look like?

This activity includes a text part and a picture part.

People with good verbal imagination can write about what their imaginary spacecraft looks like, as well as some possible data theories, etc. through their submissions.

People with good drawing skills can draw imaginary pictures of spaceships, and the newspaper will publish a batch of the best works in each issue.

As a result, after several months of continuous work, Hanking Daily even published a science fiction external magazine and a fantasy album external magazine specifically for this purpose, all of which were collected works.

Whether it is science fiction texts or pictures, they all contain the wisdom of many people with outstanding talents. Even Zhang Shusheng could not help but marvel at many of the articles and drawings he read.

Although most of them are just laymen and do not understand spaceship design and spacecraft system engineering, Zhang Shusheng is still amazed by their imagination and action ability.[

The most surprising thing is that several of these excellent works are students at school, studying majors related to spacecraft design. Their performance is very eye-catching. They actually worked together to complete a good simple spaceship design.

Design drawings and simple data guessing and listing.

He also made up his mind to hold more big events like this in the future, increase rewards, mobilize people to participate in science and technology, and imagine the enthusiasm of science and technology.

On April 5, 1948, the whole country rejoiced because today would be the day when the moon landing plan was officially implemented.

Southwest, Fushun No. 3 Middle School.

Early in the morning, the students of No. 3 Middle School held a flag-raising ceremony.

During the solemn national anthem, the students paid attention to the rising national flag, and the principal, who was a former soldier in the southwest, stepped onto the podium beside the playground.

The old principal, Yu Sannong, is already very old. He is a veteran of his age and is now almost 7 years old, but he is very energetic.

Today is Qingming Festival, which is a holiday. It is also the day when the spacecraft will land on the moon, so it is naturally extremely important.

But Yu Sannong continued as usual, and any children who were willing to stay for the festival would stay.

Some of these dozens of children have parents who are away from home, some have family members who are busy during the holidays, and some families have difficulties temporarily. By keeping them at school and arranging meals at their own homes, the children can eat well during the holidays and also have a better life.

It is a very good arrangement to be able to watch TV and movies together.

Yu Sannong had too many rest days and spent them in school. He had never gone out for more than ten years.

Today, Yu Sannong's eldest son and his youngest daughter, who is in their early twenties, stood in the front row of the student procession. The eldest son came back from other places to worship his ancestors, and the younger daughter is the school's music teacher.

Yu Sannong has a habit of holding a national flag-raising ceremony even if the children stay in school during holidays.

"Kids, today is a special day.

As we all know, in addition to Qingming Festival, a grand festival to honor our ancestors, our great empire will also conduct a real moon landing.

The moon above your head that has existed for hundreds of millions of years will be conquered by us today. This will be the greatest feat in the history of mankind on earth, and it will usher in the real first step for civilization to explore space.

Do you want to see it?"

“Want to see it!!”

Yu Sannong's simple words made the children excited. In the eyes of these middle school students, the most popular terms these days are transport ships, spaceships, and space ports.

Many middle school students have a stack of postcards in their hands, which are either transport ships or imaginary spaceships. There are physical objects such as transport ships and the chairman's speech at the national wedding ceremony. During the three-month warm-up period, all the people

So, Yu Sannong took twenty or thirty children to his home. His home at the school only had the largest living room, which was originally used to facilitate communication and education with the children.[

In order not to put too much pressure on some problem students, he often invited the children to his home, cooked him a meal first, and then taught him earnestly after the meal, which often had very good results.

The furnishings in the home are very simple, except for the latest △-inch TV, which the eldest son asked for when he was ready to honor the old man. Every holiday, the old man’s home is always full of students.

Yu Sannong asked the children to sit in front. He sat in the far corner, with his children accompanying him.

Looking at this group of excited children, he felt even more excited, as if he had gone back to the war years when he was watching movies with his comrades.

He participated in the war on the Sino-Burmese border, holding a bayonet and fighting the British devils. However, age is not forgiving, and he retired after his health failed, and eventually became an old schoolmaster. Now times have changed, and Britain has become an empire.

Territory, he can be regarded as a great comfort. No matter how regretful it is, he will completely devote his whole life to the lifelong career of educating youth.

"Good morning to all the viewers in front of the TV. This is a special live broadcast of the Chang'e Project. Our reporters are ready in Xichang. Let's take a look at the reports coming back from the front."

The show finally started, and everyone was looking forward to it. Yu Sannong even stared at it with his reading glasses on.

As the screen turned, a chain of mountains appeared in the lens. Surrounded by the mountains, there was a place with tall towers, numerous buildings, and a large square. This is the famous Xichang Aerospace Center.

"Friends in the audience, where we are now is the launch site of the Xichang Aerospace Center. The launch site is one kilometer in front of us. There are still two hours until the spacecraft is launched..."

Not far from the screen, a huge golden dragon flag covered an object. The host introduced that it was a spaceship. It was not small in size. It was a hundred meters long. Although it could not be compared with the Global Village-class transport ship, it was still very large.

.

The audience square where the reporter is sitting is already full of spectators, with flowers and flags everywhere, but the launch square is empty, with two runways, a huge launch site, and even a car and a

No one is there.

"Viewers, we guess that the length of this spacecraft will reach four meters. Since it will be used for lunar landings, the volume will not be as large as the Global Village-class transport ship, but..."

Following the brief introduction by the host, the students and Mr. Yu became very excited.

"Xiaoru, look at how beautiful this spaceship is." Mr. Yu said intoxicatedly.

Yu Xiaoru said angrily, "Dad, this is still covered with a cloth, what can you see?"

"Nonsense, I can't see it, I've dreamed about it so many times."

Yu Xiaoru couldn't laugh or cry, and nodded repeatedly. What the old man said about Yamen was right. He had dreamed about it once, saying that he was on a spaceship and landed on the moon. How could this be possible? It was completely impossible.

"You said if I could sit there just once, it would be worth dying."

Mr. Yu was in a very good mood. He read the newspaper a few days ago and saw an authoritative report from the Empire Daily News. It said that during this moon landing flight, many people would board the ship as passengers and fly to the moon together.

Moreover, the newspaper also mentioned that it would be a surprise for viewers watching the live TV broadcast across the country.

He didn't know what the surprise was, but he had been envious of those who could board a spaceship for a long time. Regarding this, he often chatted with an old comrade on the phone and teased him about the opportunity to board a spaceship.

"Dad, you want to take a spaceship every day, but this is not realistic. From now on, I will take you to visit the spaceship." The eldest son stammered at the side, and no one dared to refute the old man's words.

"Alas! If I had not retired from the army back then, I would have been at least a regiment commander later on, and maybe I could be like Mr. Mao, and now I am a famous general. Unfortunately, although I was never afraid of death in battle, my age is not forgiving.

The army mobilized veterans to support local construction, so I left."

Mr. Yu couldn't help but think of an old comrade from back then, who later became a regiment leader and was awarded the title of honorary general. It was said that he had a son who was also very good, but he didn't know what he would do specifically.

"Dad, the chairman of the committee has said that status is not determined by position. Didn't you also go to Hanking to hold a conference and participate in the National Day ceremony? You are not only one of the thousands of outstanding veterans... but also an outstanding teacher.

, Outstanding Principal in Southwest China, your contribution to this country is no worse than Uncle Mao."

Che Buru consoled him.

"Yes, yes, you are right, it's the old man who makes me feel uneasy." Yu Sannong smiled and spoke in a low voice, signaling not to disturb the students.

On TV, a ceremony soon appeared, and an official walked onto the podium.
