Chapter 1512 Target, the Moon (Third update, please subscribe)

You are Korolev!

What is revealed in a seemingly simple sentence is endless trust!

There is even a sense of worship!

A few days later, at the Bainu Kor launch site, it was late spring on the grassland. The grassland was full of green. In this green, the giant rocket stood like a giant.

This huge rocket is so spectacular between heaven and earth.

"Comrade Korolev, can we succeed?"

As Korolev's assistant, Mishin looked worried when he looked at the N1 rocket.

Historically, after Korolev died on the operating table, Mishin became the chief engineer of the Soviet aerospace engineering, but he was obviously inferior to Korolev in terms of political acumen and systematic project management.

He was very brave in the face of internal and external pressure... The first shot of the N1 rocket was launched directly without any engine testing. There was neither a single machine test nor a coordinated test. Even if N1 is tested thereafter, only a few engines can be randomly checked.

Not just because there is not a test bed large enough to accommodate a full-sized first level, but more importantly... he needs to compete for time, not only with the United States, but also with internal competitors.

In addition, there are restrictions on funds and other aspects,

He could only choose to launch in an extremely brave way without testing, and ultimately ended in failure...

"I don't know!"

Korolev took a puff of his cigarette and said:

"As I said before, whether it is success or failure, I am responsible for everything. You don't need to think about this issue, just do your best..."

As the person in charge of the project, Korolev almost single-handedly promoted the Soviet aerospace industry. When he was alive, he could coordinate all departments to promote the Soviet aerospace industry. Behind him...the Soviet Union lost little by little. the advantages they once had.

In a sense, Korolev is Soviet Aerospace!

A few hours later, as the countdown in the charge center ended, the rocket ignited.

Amidst the endless roars and vibrations, the ground seemed to be shaking. The behemoth, like an awakened dragon, broke free from the shackles of the earth and rose up from the ground with majestic momentum, piercing the sky. Its tail flame pierced the sky and illuminated half of the sky red, as if announcing to the world mankind's ambition to conquer the universe.

Korolev stood at the center of the accusation, his eyes fixed on the rocket on the TV screen. His heartbeat seemed to be synchronized with the roar of the rocket, and every beat was full of power and passion. There was a determined light in his eyes, which was the desire to explore the unknown.

With the issuing of passwords one after another,

"Everything goes well, Comrade Chief Engineer, we should succeed..."

A young engineer next to Korolev couldn't help but exclaimed.

Korolev said nothing.

He just stared at the rocket silently, as if he was having some kind of spiritual communication with it.

Suddenly, at this moment, a signal from the observation point came over the radio.

"Two engines did not ignite, namely..."

In an instant, everyone became nervous.

During the actual launch process, any minor problem may have serious consequences. In theory, the first stage of the N-1 rocket can fly normally when two pairs of engines facing each other fail.

This requires a rocket thrust controller to control all rocket engines. And respond quickly and correctly to some rapidly occurring events. Historically, the rocket thrust controller of the N1 rocket was limited by technology and failed to respond quickly.

But now, thanks to the joint efforts of multiple "Athlon microprocessors", the rocket thrust controller quickly shut down the corresponding two engines, thus ensuring that it would not explode.

As the commander continued to issue instructions, the N1 rocket continued to fly into the sky.

Although this process was a bit thrilling, as the clock hand turned, the people in the command center stood up nervously. They looked at the rockets on the TV screen, and their hearts tightened.

"The first level was successfully separated..."

The most dangerous stage is finally over!

Cheers rang out in the command center. At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with pride and emotion, because they finally took the most solid step towards the moon!

The rocket flew higher and higher and gradually disappeared into the clouds.

In the end, facing people's congratulations, Korolev just nodded and walked out of the command center silently. Then he looked up at the sky. Although he couldn't see the rocket at all now, he just looked up at the sky like this. , looking at the sky

At this time, a voice came from behind him.

"Comrade Chief Engineer, do you think we can get ahead of the Americans?"

It was Marshal Nedelin of the Rocket Force. This marshal was the first commander-in-chief of the Soviet Rocket Force. He fully demonstrated the bravery of the Soviet soldiers. Faced with the launch accident of ignition failure and the tight launch time, he demanded "online "Replace engine parts,

That is to replace rocket engines and other components directly on the rocket launch tower, and the rocket contains dozens of tons of fuel. It can only be said that the Russians are sometimes extremely brave, or in other words, extremely reckless.

So where is the engine replacement? It's clearly like dancing on a bomb!

As the marshal, Negerin did not force the engineers and subordinates to die. When he ordered others, he did not give in. When hundreds of engineers surrounded the rocket that failed to ignite, replacing the engine.

He also stood on the launch pad with dozens of generals and officers, sharing risks with the engineers. It was his example of taking the lead that gave the engineers confidence, or in other words, left them speechless, at least. The leader did not leave.

Then... the second stage of the rocket suddenly ignited, and the violent explosion caused by dozens of tons of high-energy fuel directly blew up Marshal Nedelin and hundreds of engineers and generals until nothing was left.

In this world, the marshal and the engineers were lucky. They did not die in the accident, and during this test launch, Nedelin came to Bainukor specially.

As the marshal of the Rocket Force, he does not agree with the development of N1 rockets. There is no way, this thing is too expensive, one rocket is equivalent to dozens of rockets.

Once it fails, the losses will be heavy.

But now, faced with success, Nedelin thought of the Americans.

"Marshal, for now, we are ahead of the Americans!"

Although the marshal's question made Korolev couldn't help complaining in his heart - you can't just try to surpass the Americans when the launch is successful.

But he still answered the marshal's question respectfully and complimented:

"All of this was achieved under your wise leadership. I believe that with your support, Marshal, we will definitely surpass the Americans and be the first to land on the moon! Comrade Marshal!"

Korolev's compliment made Nedelin raise the corners of his mouth and reveal an undisguised smile on his face. He said:

"Haha, Comrade Korolev, I look forward to your good news! All the Soviet people are looking forward to your good news!"

After the marshal left, Korolev was still looking at the sky. At this time, his eyes were more determined and expectant.

He knows that this is only a small step in human exploration of the universe, and there is still a longer way to go in the future.

A few hours later, the TASS news agency broadcast to the world the news that the Soviet lunar landing spacecraft had successfully launched without a crew and that the lunar lander was flying towards the moon.

The release of this news was like a shot in the arm, causing all Soviet people to cheer for another Soviet victory.

The whole world was in extreme shock. After all, this was another time - the Soviet Union used its technology to prove to the world how far ahead it was in the field of aerospace!

On the American continent, Americans were deeply stimulated by the achievements of the Soviet Union, because the United States was also promoting their moon landing plan step by step, and failed to launch rockets one after another, but failed to stop their plans.

But what about now?

Now that the Soviet Union successfully launched their giant moon landing rocket, when the unmanned spacecraft flew towards the moon, the United States was once again deeply stimulated.

Once again, all this was described as "national humiliation" in American newspapers and on American television, but at the same time, NSAS announced to the outside world that they would complete a similar experiment this year.

Nothing else, just for honor.

In fact, this was the confrontation during the Cold War. When one country made a certain breakthrough, the other country had to catch up.

After all, no country in this world is willing to be reduced to a second-rate role!

At least for the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, they would never allow the other to surpass themselves.

It is precisely in this kind of competition and confrontation that human technological civilization will develop unprecedentedly. Just as the superpowers are increasing their stakes, people all over the world are cheering for the Soviet Union's achievements in the aerospace field. .

"...It's flying towards the moon."

On this day, newspapers and televisions around the world used similar words to describe the Soviet Union's successful rocket launch.

Although this rocket launch did not carry people and was only a five-man flight experiment, it was indeed a miracle for human society.

"We will eventually conquer space, first into space, and then to the moon. In the near future, we humans will be spread throughout the entire space..."

In the past few years, similar words have painted a good picture to people all over the world again and again!

When humans enter space, humans will enter the interstellar era, and the vast universe will open its door to humans.

Five years later, the United States sent humans into space. The difference is that the United States has not yet fallen into the quagmire of war. The world has not yet experienced the wave of left-wing fanaticism that will sweep the world in a few years. People around the world are full of doubts about the future. With all kinds of imagination, it can be said that this is the most beautiful era.

It is also in this era when the best human beings are full of all kinds of fantasies about the future. The Soviet Union's spacecraft flying to the moon has once again made human beings long for a better future.

People are full of imaginations about space, and it is precisely because of this that the movie "Star Wars" has caused unprecedented craze around the world. And mankind’s space achievements have boosted mankind’s enthusiasm for space again and again...
