Chapter 1590 Highlight Moment (third update, please subscribe)
The vast sky always attracts people to open up countless fantasies about it. Since humans launched the first artificial satellite 10 years ago, humans have been blowing The horn of marching into space was sounded. It was from that year that another satellite was launched into space, and astronauts kept setting records in space.
To this day, there are many satellites in space. These satellites have meteorological satellites to provide people with weather forecasts, and communication satellites broadcast TV programs for people to achieve global communication. Of course there are global positioning satellites, where people can know their exact location deep in the earth.
In addition to these satellites, there is another satellite that is reconnaissance satellite. These reconnaissance satellites are indispensable satellites for major powers. The United States and the Soviet Union launch new reconnaissance satellites almost every month. After all, those satellites The life span is short, and once the film is shot, it loses its effect. In order to be able to perform aerial reconnaissance missions, they can only continuously launch satellites to replace the reconnaissance satellites that complete their mission.
Different to them, the "Hawkeye" reconnaissance satellite developed by Space Exploration Technology is the world's first reconnaissance satellite that can be transmitted back to Earth by compressing pictures with electronic signals.
Wanhu Corner, image center.
As usual, staff at the Image Center continued to receive satellite photos transmitted by Hawkeye Reconnaissance Satellites.
Since its service, the military has obtained a large amount of military intelligence through the Hawkeye Satellite. As an image analyst, Shi Le's job is to conduct a preliminary view of satellite photos sent back in real time.
Late at night, a photo on the screen attracted his attention.
"This is?"
Although the photos are blurry, Shi Le still sees the extra objects on the launcher. "Rocket! The Soviet moon rocket is about to be launched!" After seeing this picture, Shi Le immediately picked up the phone on the table and reported the situation.
After more than ten minutes, the photos were washed out, and several excellent picture analysts were called over overnight. They carefully observed the photos with a magnifying glass and made the same judgment - the Russians were about to launch Their moon rocket!
The news was soon reported to the official residence. Li Yian learned about this news on the bed. He had not yet gotten up when he received the call. When he heard the report on the other end of the phone, he was stunned for a while, and then said:
"Okay, I understand!"
Then Li Yian hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, he was stunned for a while when he leaned against the bed, and then said to himself:
"Actually this is a good thing!"
When he finished speaking, Hepburn, who was sleeping beside him, crawled onto him like a fish and asked:
< br>"What good thing?"
"Russian!"
Li Yian looked at Hepburn and said:
"They are going to launch their moon rocket. If successful, humans will land on the moon..."
< br>"What?"
Hepburn looked at the man in surprise and said:
"You mean the Russians are going to land on the moon, are you?"
In an instant, Hepburn lost his interest in the Rockets. After all, even women like such a big rocket!
So Hepburn asked anxiously:
"When! When will they launch their rockets? When will they land on the moon?"
"This is true ”
…………
The ink color enveloped the vast earth.
The space launch site of Baianur Space Launch Center located in the heart of Kazakhstan is brightly lit and is quietly waiting for this world-renowned flight.
On that giant launch tower, the giant rocket pointed straight to the sky. Around the launch frame, officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked around vigilantly, holding AKM assault rifles, looking ready to fight at any time.
And on the launch rack, engineers are loading the rocket with a filling of thousands of tons of fuel, which takes more than ten hours to complete.
This is the final work.
While the engineers were focusing on fuel, the two internal affairs soldiers who were performing alert missions would involuntarily turn their attention to the rocket.
"Ivan, do you believe it? We are going to the moon!"
"Alyosha, it's not us, it's the astronauts who are going to the moon!"
" I know, but those astronauts are like us. They are all Soviet citizens. They are us Soviet citizens going to the moon. We..."
Alyosha said excitedly: "We Soviets want to go to the moon on behalf of all mankind. Is there anything greater in this world than this?"
"No!" br>
Nothing greater than this!
Not only Alyosha thought so, in the astronaut dormitory, Gagarin, who was quietly waiting for the mission, he and his crew were lying in bed and couldn't sleep either. >
Even though the doctors were monitoring their heartbeat, Gagarin and the crew were lying motionless on the bed and looking at the ceiling.
They didn't even speak, just breathing evenly because the room was equipped with monitors.
"Maybe this is the true greatest mission!"
Gagarin thought silently that although as the first astronaut in the Soviet Union, he was proud in his heart, He knew that he was not the number one astronaut in humanity.
It was only a few minutes away!
Whenever Gagarin thinks of this, he feels lost in his heart.
In fact, this loss has always lingered in the hearts of all Soviet aerospace engineers, because they missed the first match with mankind.
Just just a few minutes, just a moment, it determines a completely different fate. Gorman Titov turned his head to look at Gagarin, feeling his gaze, Gagarin turned his head, and they just looked at each other. Andrea Grigorievich Nikolayev looked at Gagarin from the other direction.
In the darkness, the three of them didn't say anything, and they just waited quietly for the mission day.
On November 27, at 1 a.m. on that day, although the snow covered the grass at Baikonur launch site two days ago, the weather is clear now, under the stars, by Gagarin, Gorman Titov and A group of Andrea Grigorievich Nikolayev walked out of the room.
Komalov, Konstantin Fioktistov and Boris Yegorov, who walked out of the next room, also walked out of the room, they were the reserve group .
A few months ago, they completed all experimental missions except the moon landing. In space, Komarov and his team were only more than ten kilometers away from the moon!
That is the closest distance between humans from the moon!
And soon, this record will be broken.
"I wish you success! My friends!"
Komarov, as the leader of the reserve crew, looked at Gagarin and others and blessed:
"I will be here I'm waiting for you to come back here!" Gagarin said with a smile:
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"We will definitely return safely! Komarov, you must prepare vodka, do you know?"
"Sure!"
When the two groups were preparing to set off, they were with each other. The family said goodbye, and Andrea's wife, Tereshkova, brought her daughter who was not yet a year old, shouted to her husband: "Dear, my daughter and I are waiting for you on earth!"
Tereshkova is also an astronaut, she is the first female astronaut in humanity! And she and Andrea are also the only astronaut couple in the world.
In this way, after a brief farewell, the two groups boarded two cars. The cars followed the camera and walked safely. After arriving at the launch tower, the first group, led by Gagarin, got on the elevator. , Soon, they entered the crew cabin with the help of engineers.
As about to enter the crew cabin, the accompanying reporter asked: "Comrade Gagarin, do you have anything you want to say to us and to all mankind?" "Dear mankind, today, we will go to the moon on behalf of mankind. We will greet you from the moon and greet my mankind!"
All words, It was carefully drafted by experts. For the Soviet Union, it was not just a moon landing, but a propaganda of the greatness of the Soviet Union, the ideals of the Soviet Union, and the propaganda of the Soviet Union, representing all mankind.
After Gagarin entered the occupant warehouse, the engineers helped them fix it and then retreated.
When the launch entered the final preparation, Rocket Marshal Negelin also walked into the command. He walked to Korolev and said: "How is it, always Comrade Engineer, is everything going well? "
Koroliv pointed and replied: "Comrade Marshal, everything going well."
"That's good, the people are looking forward to your good news!"
Then, Nejerin left the command center and stood outside the command center and watched through the glass window. The command center... there is The engineers' territory, he, as a marshal, is just a spectator.
In the following time, various departments kept reporting that thousands of sensors in the rocket continued to transmit data to the command, and the heads of various departments in the command center were at the end of the report. They will end with "**Prepare to be completed!".
Along with every "preparation is completed!", green lights lit up on the podium, hundreds of green lights, and they light up one after another. If there is a red light, the launch will It is to be postponed.
God bless!
all the best.
At 4:15 am on November 27, with the last sound of "Prepare to be completed!", all the green lights on the main console illuminated.
Site command of the launch, the report said: "Comrade Chief Engineer, the rocket is ready to be completed and can be launched!"
"Set window."
"The launch window is still 35 minutes."
"Communication from overseas measurement and control departments."
"Communication is normal!"
After completing the final preparation, Korolev Said: "Agree to launch!"
With a command, it entered the launch program and soon entered the countdown working state.
In the launch site, against the backdrop of searchlights, the N1 launch vehicle became brighter in the night.
"…5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignite!"
After the issuance of the password, there was no hard work to press the button, but just press the launch button, At this moment, the rockets roared and trembled the earth. The rocket dragged its long tail flames up from the ground, and the tail flames were like dragons, piercing straight into the sky.
Gradually, the rocket fainted into the ink night sky and turned into a little starlight. In front of the final assembly and testing plant 2.5 kilometers away from the launch tower, the crowd watching the launching was staring at the rocket and the huge tail flame.
At this moment, no matter what they believed, they were praying in their hearts unexpectedly.
Gradually, the rocket disappeared from people's vision. But even so, people still stare at the night sky like this...
