Chapter 220 219 Coincidence of the Moon

Seeing what Chen Jue said, Wang Zhihai and the other three also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They took some nutritional supplements and handed them over. They even said a few words of hard work and then chatted while floating in the space station. They shared some space station and lunar exploration missions. The intelligence information was informed to Chen Jue.

You must know that in addition to the necessary physical fitness to be an astronaut on the space station, each of them has a professional knowledge level that can be called a doctorate level.

Whether it is general astronomy, mathematics, physical astrophysics, aerospace, communications and navigation, etc., he is extremely proficient.

Chen Jue's previous studies at the base mainly focused on human body structure, as well as knowledge on physics, radiation energy, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, etc. He was indeed somewhat lacking in astronomy, so he gained a lot from talking with these three people.

You must know that the place where Chen Jue needs to land this time is not on the front side of the moon, but on the back side. The situation is more complicated and difficult than the Eagle Country's moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s.

Because the moon does not rotate like other satellites orbiting outside the planet, its rotation is very special. It highly coincides with its revolution period in one month, and only one fixed side faces the earth.

Stars, planets, and other non-artificial satellites such as the sun and the earth we are familiar with basically have time and angle differences between revolution and rotation, and different sides of them can be observed.

Only the moon is different. One side of it always faces the earth, which makes it extremely difficult for humans to observe or land on the back of the moon.

The straight-line distance from the earth to the moon's perigee is about 384,403.9 kilometers, but if you want to go around the back of the moon, this distance will be greatly lengthened.

Just like us ordinary people walking, it is always easiest to walk in a straight line with two points, but once we take a long detour, the situation is different.

In addition to the need to arrange staged relay communication satellites in advance to avoid communication signals being blocked by the moon itself, the fuel, endurance, etc. of the lunar landing spacecraft will become demanding.

This is why, since the Eagle Nation's six manned landings on the moon in the 1960s and 1970s, they have only reached the front side of the moon, but never the far side.

As for why the moon always faces the earth, Ye Guangming, who is good at theoretical knowledge, described to Chen Jue that there are several conjectures in the scientific community. The most mainstream and most recognized one is the big collision hypothesis at the beginning of the birth of the moon.

This hypothesis holds that the original moon was not what it is now, but rotated at a normal speed like the satellites of other planets.

But later, another strange celestial body collided with the early moon, causing the moon's rotation to brake, forming a very coincidental duality of the moon.

There is a lot of evidence to support this hypothesis. The first one is that the front side of the moon is flat, while the back side of the moon is bumpy.

Then there is the lunar soil obtained by lunar exploration. The composition of the lunar soil collected from the front side of the moon is completely different from that collected from the back side.

It was like two pieces of plasticine colliding together. Except for the large number of debris meteorites produced during the collision that fell into the earth or splashed into space, the remaining main parts fused together and became the current moon.

In addition, there are several other pieces of evidence that prove this big collision hypothesis, namely the collection of ancient meteorites from the earth that have the same composition as the lunar soil on the back of the moon.

This collision of celestial bodies that occurred countless years ago caused the moon's rotation to brake, shortening the distance between the earth and the moon. Some of the debris that fell from the strange celestial body also hit the earth, slowing the earth's rotation, which further caused the earth's The moon is gradually moving away from the Earth at a rate of 3.8 centimeters per year.

After listening to Ye Guangming's description of the origin, birth, and conjectures of the moon, Chen Jue's mind came to mind about the meteorites that fell on the earth and contained innate energy, as well as the content related to the moon that appeared in myths and legends from ancient times to the present. , sparks of thought burst out, and he thought: "The front side is always facing the earth... The moon in ancient times was closer to the earth... Is all this really a coincidence?"

…

After chatting with the three people for a long time, Wang Zhihai, Liu Yaming, and Ye Guangming all showed a bit of envy when they learned that Chen Jue would board a lunar landing spacecraft and land on the back of the moon in a few days.

Humanity's yearning for landing on the moon has always been hidden in our bones. Countless people have fantasized about the moon since ancient times.

Especially in the fairy tales of flower growers, from Chang'e flying to the moon to Wu Gang cutting osmanthus, to the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine, etc., this is the romance buried in the genes of flower growers.

Anyone who successfully becomes an astronaut will dream of landing on the moon one day and leaving his own footprints on the moon like Armstrong.

Just like ordinary people play games, read novels, and like to collect achievements and badges, for flower growers, the moon landing is a historical achievement that will last forever.

It is a pity that Chen Jue's moon landing is completely confidential. Although the ground monitoring hall will record image data, this information will not be released to the public until a certain time.

Looking at the envious looks of the three people, Chen Jue smiled: "This is a secret moon landing that is not open to the public. The situation is different. In the future, the first man to land on the moon will be announced to the outside world and it will be left to you three to achieve it. "

After hearing this, the three of them nodded thoughtfully, obviously having expectations in their hearts.

…

After sitting and chatting with the three astronauts for a long time, they started to heat up space food.

For flower-growing family members who are foodies, even the space food sent to space is diverse, with more than 120 varieties.

Of course, you don’t eat randomly. From the first day on the space station, you must eat scientifically and have a reasonable combination of nutrients.

However, Chen Jue's physique is special, and he can use the [Golden Toad's Qi Swallowing] state to accelerate gastrointestinal motility. After sitting down and eating some space food, he felt that his body was being depleted in the fight against the rapid radiation, so he ate some more. The latest version of the human nutrition supplement specially provided by the base.

After eating, several people began to go to rest separately, while Chen Jue floated in the cabin and began his daily practice.

Cultivation depends on practicing, and practicing depends on diligence, just like sailing against the current if you don't advance, you will retreat.

In the special environment of space, Chen Jue was particularly diligent in practicing his skills because he could see the proficiency of the [Red Dust Golden Body Skill] beating on the attribute panel all the time.

In addition, Chen Jue's rate of increasing free attribute points is also accelerating. Normally, he can get 0.20 points a day, which is almost the limit. After going to space, it actually reached 0.30 points a day.

In addition, due to the influence of space radiation, his lifespan is accelerating, which also stimulates his desire to practice to fight against negative space radiation.

…

In the next two days, Chen Jue spent leisurely in the space station. In addition to going out twice to further strengthen his adaptation to the space environment and taking a few more glances at the magnificent and round earth, Chen Jue always thought about taking photos if he could Just post it on Moments, and just edit a title like "Thank you for the invitation, I just got off the rocket, I'm on the space station" and you can definitely get a lot of likes.

It may even blow up the circle of friends and set the Internet on fire.

Unfortunately, my mobile phone has been placed in the dormitory at the base, and I can only turn it on when I get back.

In two days, Chen Jue also learned a lot of relevant knowledge from the three astronauts. He waited until noon on the third day.

The lunar landing spacecraft launched from the base successfully docked with the space station. Only then did Chen Jue stop his leisurely life on the space station. Together with the three astronauts, he moved all the first batch of delivered supplies into the lunar landing spacecraft. Chen Jue changed into He took off the special heavy spacesuit and got into the moon landing spacecraft.

Wang Zhihai, Liu Yaming, and Ye Guangming were at the interface, saluting Chen Jue: "Comrade Chen Jue! Take care!"

"I wish you a safe journey and a safe return soon!"

"I also wish you all a safe return home soon!" Chen Jue smiled at the three of them and nodded, waving his hands. After getting along for a few days, everyone became good friends. There was almost everything that should be said and talked about. It’s just a moment away from a sentimental farewell.

Chen Jue reached out to close the door of the lunar landing spacecraft and set the locking procedure. Then, under remote control from the ground monitoring hall, the lunar landing spacecraft separated from the space station and began to head straight for the moon more than 380,000 kilometers away.

The first update is here! I went out to do errands during the day, so I delayed the update. I will make up for it at night~ I will stay up late tonight and update more. Modified some content and polished it a bit
