Rector Morgan's confusion was probably the same as the confusion of many other companies. They really did not understand why the Daqian went through so much trouble to land on the moon.
Could there really be capitalists who would donate their money and wealth for the sake of the country these days?
But no matter how confused these people were, after two and a half days of flight, the Daqian spacecraft smoothly entered the lunar orbit and began the final preparations for landing.
This speed was 10 hours faster than the United States. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, there were more improvements to the moon landing.
For example, the hard landing in the past had become a soft landing this time, and the stay on the moon was not only 21 hours.
According to the Daqian plan, they would stay on the moon for 100 hours, of which 26 hours would be spent on the surface of the moon.
The Solar System Technology Exploration Company even prepared a lunar rover for two drivers. It could travel at a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour on the surface of the moon.
By the way, this lunar rover had a famous name, Daqian Tang Taizong.
Speaking of which, there was an interesting story to be told.
At the beginning of 2009, Da Qian announced that he was going to release the latest electric scooter. This electric scooter was not a sequel to the classic series, but a brand new dynasty series. He even directly revealed that this time, Tang would make an appearance.
It was just that many manufacturers were confused about what Tang's position was.
Throughout the development of Daqian cars, many dynasty names had been born.
According to the order of release, the first was Daqian Shang, which was a miniature electric vehicle. Now that the Daqian Shang series had been discontinued, Daqian made it clear that they would no longer compete with other manufacturers in the small and miniature electric vehicle market.
The next two models were Daqian Zhou and Daqian Xia. The Daqian Xia was a practical car, and the Daqian Zhou was an urban SUV.
The last model was the Daqian Han, which was a high-end Daqian business car series. At present, there were two models, the Han Gaozu and the Han Wudi. Both were the most expensive cars under the Daqian brand. The Han Wudi's price was as high as 20 million USD, but at such a price, it was in short supply worldwide.
Because according to tests, this was indeed the safest luxury car in the world. It was the safest car in the world, which made all the rich people unable to refuse.
The last model was the Daqian Qin, which was a super sports car series. At present, only the Qin Xiaowen was released, which could reach the limit of 700 km/h. Countless traditional sports cars trembled when they heard this number. Then, it was announced to the public that electric cars were not qualified to call themselves super sports cars. How could they be called super sports cars if they did not burn fuel?
It could be said that from the Xia to the Han, Daqian cars were all over the series. Many people were guessing what the latest Daqian Tang would be.
Considering that most of the traditional models were already available, the most popular guess was that the Daqian Tang would be a van.
However, some people objected and felt that it was very likely to be the code name of a truck.
Some people thought that it was an RV.
But who would have thought that the Daqian Tang would be a lunar rover?
"This is awesome. The Daqian won!" When everyone heard the news, they did not know whether to laugh or cry and applauded. To some extent, the Daqian Tang was probably the most impressive of all the electric cars.
At the same time, the Daqian Tang's task was very difficult because it would take two astronauts to travel on the moon for 18 hours, a journey of more than 600 km.
During the journey, they would also scan the surface of the moon in a 3D game mode, and then reproduce the complete shape of the moon's surface on Earth.
In addition, they would also need to take samples and explore at 16 locations on the moon. They would also need to drill deep wells and explore at the three most important locations. They would also need to take out a four-meter-thick layer of the moon's soil and bring it back to Earth for analysis. This was very important to understand the composition of the moon.
Finally, there was a very difficult task, which was to find traces of water on the moon. Although the United States had announced that there was no water on the moon, this was a very difficult task.
The journey was a very severe test for the Daqian Tang. It had to adapt to the various extreme weather and operating conditions on the moon's surface. The most important thing was that it had to have enough internal batteries.
After all, it had to be driven continuously for 18 hours, and it also had to be equipped with various detection instruments, especially the final drilling exploration, which required electrical energy. This was a very severe test for the Daqian Tang's energy and batteries.
In the end, the fate of the Daqian Tang was somewhat tragic. After completing the mission, it was obviously unscientific and not cost-effective to bring the Daqian Tang back, so it would probably stay on the moon forever.
On May 3, 2009, at the launch center of Dunhuang in Hua Xia, millions of people from all over the country gathered one after another. A large screen was prepared for them so that they could collectively watch the grand moon landing.
In front of the TV and computer, the number of viewers watching the live broadcast reached an astonishing number. In all of Hua Xia, one billion of the 1.3 billion people were watching the live broadcast.
Many companies even announced that they had a holiday for the day to support their employees watching the live broadcast.
Globally, the number of viewers had risen to 2.6 billion, surpassing all previous live broadcast figures. It was even more than the first time they landed on the moon.
Of course, this was normal. After all, there were as many TV sets as there were when the moon was landed.
Back then, there were no more than 100,000 TV sets in Hua Xia. In an instant, almost all of the Hua Xia viewers were lost. Of course, the numbers were unavoidable.
At 14: 21 p.m., the Xihe spacecraft passed by the far side of the moon. Soon, the main rocket was ignited, and the spacecraft decelerated into lunar orbit. Soon, the spacecraft found the expected landing site, which was in the southern part of the Sea of Tranquility, 15 kilometers south of the Sabine D ring.
The characteristic of this location was that it was very flat, which was very suitable for spacecraft landing. That year, Apollo 11 landed on this land, and the expected landing site was only 7 kilometers away from the landing site.
In fact, as one of the 16 sites that had to be explored, the crew would pass by the United States landing site to see if the controversial United States flag was still there. They would also see how it flew on the surface of the moon.
At 14: 11 p.m., when the spacecraft was on the far side of the moon, the lunar module codenamed Xihe separated from the command module codenamed Moon Palace.
Lin Benyou stayed in Moon Palace. He was very lucky because it was so close to the moon.
However, he was also very unlucky because he could not land on the moon this time. After all, someone had to stay behind to guard the command module. He was responsible for controlling the docking of the command module and the return module, and then returning to Earth. Someone had to stay behind.
