"Remember to say hi to Chang 'e when you see her!" After Xihe said this to her teammates, she separated from Moon Palace. Lin Benyou was a little depressed and jealous as he watched his teammates fly toward the moon.
Of course, it was not that Lin Benyou didn't have to take any risks. If Xihe didn't come back, then he could come back alone and save his life.
At the same time, Wang Jiewei was piloting Xihe and trying to land on the moon.
"Don't trust these computers!" Wang Jiewei said with a smile, as if he was trying to comfort the 16-year-old boy in front of him.
"When Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin started the Eagle's thrusters and began to descend.
But they found that they seemed to have flown too far. When they landed on the moon, an alarm began to sound, indicating that the computer was overloaded. The Eagle flew for four more seconds in the descending trajectory, which meant that the landing point was several kilometers away from the planned landing point. The navigation computer had several abnormal program alarms.
Even the Johnson Space Center in Houston was very nervous. The flight control commander, Steve Baiers, even ordered them to stop the landing and return directly. Because if the computer alarms were true, then they would lose the fuel they needed to return!
Fortunately, as the commander-in-chief, Baiers eventually retracted the order and ordered them to ignore the problem with the lunar module computer and continue the landing. Baiers later admitted that he allowed Armstrong to try to land on the moon based on his intuition! "
Wang Jiawei smiled and said, "Later, it turned out that there was no problem with the computer. They just missed a radar and there was a problem with the data! So, if the computer alarms randomly, please don't mind it!"
Wang Jiawei might have been a crow in his previous life because after he said that, a loud alarm immediately sounded inside Xihe, scaring Wang Jiawei.
"What happened?! Did we miss the radar? "Wang Jiawei exclaimed.
"No, this is an alarm from the attitude detector. Our landing attitude is wrong. We didn't maintain the original attitude!" As one of the designers of Xihe, Jia Changtian knew every alarm of the spacecraft like the back of his hand.
"There's a problem with the flight attitude! That's impossible. We have eight engines to adjust the attitude, and the computer is responsible for automatic operation. How can there be a problem with the attitude? " The more Wang Jiawei thought about it, the more terrified he became. Was there really a problem with the computer that caused the attitude engine to malfunction, causing the attitude of the lunar module to be wrong?
The descent was not a small problem. The landing of the lunar module was a very delicate matter. It had to ensure that the bottom of the module was vertical. Otherwise, if the side of the module hit the ground first, even if the two people inside the module did not die, the equipment outside would be seriously damaged.
If they couldn't maintain the top up and engine down attitude during the final landing, then the lunar module wouldn't even be able to leave the moon's surface. The two of them could only hope for a rescue from Earth within a year … To be on the safe side, the lunar module had stored enough food and oxygen for the two of them for a year.
"No, there's nothing wrong with that. It's the storm on the moon's surface that's causing problems with our posture!" Jia Changtian said.
"A storm on the surface of the moon! This doesn't make sense! " Wang Jiawei was even more confused. "There's no air on the surface of the moon. How can there be a storm? Don't scare me!"
"No, there's indeed a strong external force that's changing Xihe's flight posture. The computer didn't even set up the controls to maintain the posture in the event of a storm," Jia Changtian said with a pale face.
At this time, the moon had already been thoroughly explored. There was no air on the moon, so naturally, there were no storms. Therefore, other than the influence of the moon's gravity, there was no need to consider problems like storms. Therefore, the computer didn't set up the data in this area.
Now, Xihe had encountered a storm on the moon's surface. The wind was very strong, otherwise, it would be difficult to change the attitude of the lunar module.
"Command center! Calling command center! We need backup! We need emergency technical support! "Wang Jiawei shouted through the communicator with the command center.
"It's useless. This storm seems to have the effect of an electromagnetic storm. All our communications with the command center have been cut off. We can't connect!" Jia Changtian said quickly. "Captain, you're a fighter pilot. You'll take the manual controls!" At this critical moment, Jia Changtian made the decision.
"I'll take the manual controls? Jia Changtian, think carefully. This is a module, not a plane. My experience might not be useful at all. We might crash on the moon's surface! "Wang Jiawei said nervously.
"If you take the controls, we still have a way to survive. If you don't, we're all going to die!" Jia Changtian said quietly. This sentence completely relieved Wang Jiawei of his burden. He changed the control mode from automatic to active. At the same time, he started to work hard to resist the storm outside.
Fortunately, Wang Jiawei was worthy of being called the top pilot in the country. This was the first time this guy actually controlled the module to land on the moon's surface. He actually managed to control the module's posture and landed steadily on the moon's surface.
After some calculations, they found that this position was already 18 kilometers away from the original landing site.
After the landing of the module, the violent storm outside actually stopped in the blink of an eye. The communication with the outside world was also restored. At this time, the people in the command center were extremely anxious.
The Xihe module had been out of contact for eight minutes. At this time, almost everyone in the world was in an uproar.
After all, according to the Daqian's official announcement, Xihe was able to maintain a smooth voice connection with the command center throughout the entire landing process. Furthermore, it was able to post eight photos every minute and also a five-second short video.
These were all done when Xihe and the Moon Palace first separated. However, after two minutes, the image that everyone was watching suddenly froze. Then, it quickly switched to the image of the command center. At the same time, two CCTV hosts began to awkwardly chat. Both of them had a strange expression on their faces.
After three minutes, the host helplessly announced that the command center had temporarily lost contact with the module. This could be caused by the sudden solar storm. He hoped that the audience would not be too worried. The problem was not big, and Xihe would definitely be able to overcome it.
However, not only did these words not comfort the audience, but they also caused them to explode. This problem was to the extent that Xihe had to overcome it on its own. The command center could not provide any help. This was a huge problem!
Could it be that Xihe had crashed?
In just five minutes, all kinds of rumors were flying around the world.
If it was just a live broadcast, five minutes would not have caused a stir. However, on the Internet, these five minutes were enough for the netizens to come up with all kinds of terrible endings. Some people even posted on the Internet that they saw a huge hand suddenly appear and disappear on the moon.
Some people even swore to God that they saw a human holding an axe and directly swinging it at the module. That must be Wu Gang.
Some foreigners even said that the moon was a cave of the demon race and that the demon race did not allow humans to get close. Well, this was obviously the result of reading too many cultivation novels by Hua Xia.
