Chapter 320 Moon Landing

"Uh, did any of you see my gloves?" Collins appeared from Zhang Heng's side like a ghost holding a bowl of unhydrated pork and baked potatoes.

"I don't know, but it seemed to float past my head a quarter of an hour ago." Zhang Heng said.

"Did you just watch it fly away?"

"It seems so."

"All right."

"You can go to the lunar module to have a look, it should be drifting in that direction."

"Collins, did you take the wrong toothbrush?" Armstrong also pointed his head over at this time, with a serious expression.

"Is there? I obviously put my name on it."

"Yes, and you stuck on my toothbrush." ​​Armstrong paused, "Also, remember to clean the fuel cell, whose turn is it to clean up?"

Zhang Heng raised his hand, "It's my turn."

"Let me do it." Collins said, "You still have important things to do today, don't you?" After speaking, he patted Zhang Heng's shoulder again, "Be sure to come back safely."

"Don't worry about me, Neil will come back safely." Zhang Heng said.

Collins frowned, not understanding what Zhang Heng meant.

But at this time, the radio communication system also heard the voice of the ground control center, "Apollo 11, this is Houston, and you will enter orbit around the moon in a quarter of an hour. The call is over."

"Got it, Houston, we will get ready, over." Armstrong said, then turned to Zhang Heng and said, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, eat more, we have a lot of work to do after landing on the moon, when the time comes It will be tense."

Zhang Heng nodded, but he knew in his heart that he would not stay on the moon for too long. Zhang Heng looked down at the starfish in his hand again, and there was only one minute left before 5:55. According to the time flow rate conversion between the reality and the copy, that is to say, he only has 4 hours left in this world.

That's why he told Collins that Neil would come back safely. As for himself, once he leaves, he won't step into the command/service module again.

Twenty minutes later, all three of them suspended their work and came to the porthole. At this time, there happened to be a relatively clear view outside the porthole, and they could see the surface of the moon. The current Apollo 11 is only one month away from the lunar surface. A distance of more than a hundred kilometers.

The moon itself does not emit light, but it reflects about 7% of visible light.

Through the porthole, the three of them could see the undulations and ravines on the surface of the moon, which were pitted like the surface of a honeycomb. Zhang Heng knew that it was anorthosite, a kind of volcanic rock formed by cooling magma, and they formed the moon's crust. The mantle is made of stronger basalt and has more iron than the mantle, while the innermost core is molten iron with small amounts of sulfur and nickel.

"Well, this seems to be our destination." Collins said, "We will part soon, and I hope you don't miss me too much."

"Thanks, Michael, you can eat all the chicken salad while I'm away." Zhang Heng replied.

"I won't take this sentence as a joke." Collins pretended to think seriously for two seconds before saying, "Take care, you two, I will wait for you here, and we will return to Earth together."

Armstrong remained as calm as ever, and just nodded when he heard the words.

Zhang Heng used the last time to prepare for the month before, gave up those daily necessities, only brought game props on his body, and put on his spacesuit. After that, he and Armstrong entered the lunar module "Eagle". Armstrong Close the hatch.

"Houston, this is the Eagle. David and I have entered the lunar module. The weight-bearing legs have been deployed and are in good condition. Over."

"Eagle, this is Houston, please confirm that your spaceship is powered by ethylene glycerin No. 1 line."

"This is Eagle, we are on Line 1, over." Zhang Heng said.

At this time, Collins' voice also came from the communicator, "This is the command/service module Columbia. The 12 pairs of latches have been sealed. Next, I will turn on the manual mode. It is estimated that the Eagle will separate in 20 minutes."

"receive."

"Wish ya'll good luck."

In order to reduce the weight of the lunar module as much as possible, there are no seats in the lunar module. Zhang Heng and Armstrong stood in front of the control panel. As the pilot of the lunar module, Zhang Heng will take on the main driving task next. He needs to drive the Eagle smoothly. landing at the designated location.

This will be a challenge for him, but the more at this time, the calmer Zhang Heng's heart will be.

Armstrong was a little worried that Zhang Heng's training time was too short, but seeing the latter's eyes, he knew that Zhang Heng was ready.

"OK, we're about to start." After the countdown, Collins pulled the joystick, allowing the command/service module and the lunar module to complete the separation.

"This is Houston, please keep flying, Eagle, pay attention to your fuel, the continuous ignition time is up to 910 seconds."

"Got it, Houston." Zhang Heng carefully controlled the lunar module to land on the surface of the moon.

However, it didn't take long before they ran into trouble, and the warning light on the dashboard suddenly flashed.

"The computer is overloaded, we lost the radar." Zhang Heng glanced at the indicator light.

"Got it, Eagle, please choose your own landing place."

"Got it, Houston," Armstrong replied.

But before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, another warning light came on on the dashboard.

"Program alert," Zhang Heng frowned, "error code 1202, what Houston is this?"

"1202, received, we are investigating, Eagle."

Zhang Heng turned off the alarm manually, but less than half a minute later, another program alarm sounded, and the altimeter also stopped at 4,000 feet and stopped working, which meant that Zhang Heng could only land with the naked eye.

The situation was not optimistic, but the two had no other choice at this time. When they landed at about 2,500 feet, Zhang Heng and Armstrong realized that they had deviated from the target location.

However, what really killed me was the failure of the fuel gauge that followed.

When Zhang Heng checked for the last time, the remaining fuel in the propulsion system could still be ignited for about 30 seconds, and a huge deep valley appeared in front of the Eagle, and the radar failed. Zhang Heng didn't know how wide the deep valley was, nor Not sure how deep it is.

He needs to make a decision in the shortest possible time, whether to take the risk of speeding up and make an emergency landing in front of the deep valley, or find a way to fly over the deep valley in front of him.

And at this critical juncture, the AirPods wireless Bluetooth headset that Zhang Heng put together with those game props suddenly turned on by itself.

A familiar voice came from the communication channel, "Friendly reminder, you still have 23 seconds of fuel to use."
