The Moon landing was a success!
When this one-minute video was broadcast on the Spring Festival Gala, the entire China was in an uproar.
For thousands of years, the people who looked up to this land had used countless myths, legends, poems, and songs to place beautiful dreams on it.
Ever since the launch of Shenzhou V, China became the third country to send astronauts into space. Setting foot on the Moon had always been the dream of countless China astronauts and Chinese citizens.
However, this didn't go well.
Even though China barely caught up with the United States and the Soviet Union in terms of manned spaceflight, rocket engines had always been a sore point for China. Not only was there a big gap between China and the United States in high-thrust rocket technology, but there was also a gap between China and the European Union and Japan.
However, the successful Skyglow test flight not only completely reversed this situation, but it also sent China's astronauts to the Moon!
When the people sitting in front of the TV saw the New Year's greeting from the Moon, their eyes widened in surprise.
Some of them were so excited that they burst into tears …
In a certain house in Shang Jing.
Yuan Huanmin, who was sitting at the dining table and eating his New Year's Eve dinner, saw the image on the television reflected in his turbid eyes. Unknowingly, two streams of tears flowed down the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
As the chief engineer of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, it was his lifelong dream to send China's lunar module to the Moon and watch China's astronauts leave their footprints on the Moon.
Now that he was witnessing this moment with his own eyes …
At this moment, he no longer had any regrets in his heart.
"Dad, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "His son noticed the tears on his dad's face, and he immediately asked with concern.
His granddaughter looked at her grandpa with a worried expression. She reached out her chubby little hand and pushed her grandpa's thigh. She said, "It's not painful, it's going to fly away soon."
"I'm fine, you guys … don't worry about me." The old man took off his reading glasses and wiped the tears from his eyes with his index finger. He said in a choked voice, "I'm just … a little too excited."
He thought about how he made things difficult for Lu Zhou on the Skyglow project, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Even though he believed that his intentions were good, if he really let the Skyglow project fail, he would undoubtedly be a sinner.
Maybe …
I should be more tolerant of people who don't agree with me.
On the other hand, in a courtyard on Chang 'an Road, a family was eating Chinese New Year's dinner.
Also looking at the TV, the old man laughed and slapped his thigh.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Hahaha, I was right, this kid is a genius!"
The only drawback was that he didn't consider the consequences of his actions, but these small things were actually harmless. After all, it felt strange to expect a young man in his twenties to be mature and mature, to be like a saint. It was rare to find someone who could become famous at a young age and still maintain their original intentions. It was already very rare to find someone who didn't become arrogant because of his talent and act recklessly.
What's more, this world was always more tolerant of those who were capable than ordinary people.
The woman sitting across from the old man smiled and said, "Look at how happy you are. He even won the Nobel Prize. Do you still need to misjudge him?"
The old man sighed softly and said, "There are many people who have won the Nobel Prize, but I'm afraid he's the only scholar in the world who can reach this level of knowledge at such a young age. Unfortunately, there aren't many awards in China that are worthy of his honor. "
At this commendation conference, the three astronauts who landed on the Moon would definitely receive first-class honors.
As for the scientific researchers and heroes who participated in the project, they would definitely receive material and spiritual rewards.
But what should I give to Lu Zhou …
The old man was in a difficult position.
The woman sitting across the table smirked and said, "He even won the highest award in the scientific community, so he doesn't care about those honors anymore. I don't think you should worry about giving him a medal. Why don't you just give him a good academic environment or space to do whatever he wants?"
"What you said makes sense, but honor is not only given to the recipient, but it is also used to motivate the successor." The old man lowered his chin and pondered for a while. He suddenly smiled and raised his head, "Forget it, I can't think of a good solution for this problem right now. Let's have a meeting and discuss it with the others."
Regardless, the astronauts were still on the Moon.
As for the commendation conference, they could wait until after the New Year.
On the other hand, after the news of the successful lunar landing spread, the sensational atmosphere quickly spread from television screens to the Internet.
In less than ten minutes, news about Skyglow had become a hot topic on major online platforms.
This was just like when China won the Olympic Games.
Lu Zhou opened Weibo and saw "Skyglow" trending at the top of the trending list. He couldn't help but smirk.
[It's not easy to get to this point. (crying) (crying)]
[This is the most exciting news I've heard this year! (excited) (excited)]
[Everyone knows that landing on the Moon isn't difficult anymore. The reason why foreign scientists don't land on the Moon is because their goal is to land on the Sun, so it's not a big deal.]
[I heard that too! Foreign scientists are very smart, they plan to sneak up on the Moon when it gets dark! (laughing) (laughing)]
[I have to give a thumbs up to the scientific researchers who contributed to Skyglow!!!]
[…]
After Lu Zhou closed Weibo, he opened Twitter and looked at it.
Surprisingly, NASA's official account didn't post any comments.
For a long time, every time China made progress on the moon, NASA would stand at the top and give them encouragement and praise.
Because they knew that the gap between them and China in the aerospace field was like a tortoise and a hare. If China just threw some remote-controlled toys on the Moon, it would be impossible to catch up to them. They had already explored the entire solar system and had even begun to send probes out of the Kuiper Belt.
However, not only had China increased its near-Earth orbit carrying capacity to 50 tons, but it had also allowed astronauts to set foot on the Moon. This was a feat that the Cold War failed to accomplish.
Obviously, the rise of China in the aerospace field had made it impossible for them to maintain their gentlemanly image.
Of course, it could also be that NASA across the Pacific Ocean was in a meeting and didn't have time to spare.
Lu Zhou smiled and scrolled through Twitter for a while. He looked at the comments from foreign netizens. He then turned off his phone and leaned back on the sofa.
The first stage of the manned Moon landing mission had been completed. The mission submit button in the system space was now optional.
However, Lu Zhou wasn't in a hurry to enter the next stage.
After all, there were still a few relatively easy side missions in his mission panel. He was just waiting for the astronauts in the sky to pick them up for him from the Moon …
