Although everyone has a mobile phone, computer, virtual glasses, TV...
But the researchers at the Brain-Computer Center are still willing to gather together in the cafe to eat snacks and barbecue, drink drinks, juice...and beer, sit around the big TV, and watch the live broadcast of the satellite released today.
Just like a small bar.
Yes, every bar in China is overcrowded these days.
There is no deafening music in the bar, no shouting, and no young ladies swaying wildly - everyone is sitting together, drinking wine, watching TV, and bragging.
If someone had just been released from prison, he would probably have thought that the national football team had reached the World Cup finals.
After all, this is the only way to create an atmosphere.
And in any such scene, a "professional" person will definitely appear to provide popular science and answer questions.
The professional in the brain-computer center cafe is naturally Zhou Xiangnan, a Zhihu celebrity who has extensive experience in various fields.
…
Qi Yumo was still close to Mo Gu. When she saw Ye Ming sitting on the command chair motionless again in the live broadcast of the command hall, she became a little worried.
Of course Ye Ming's phone was turned off, but he didn't reply to messages sent to him through Aita, but Aita replied... This shows that he was obviously too busy these two days to even reply to messages.
Qi Yumo tilted his head and asked Zhou Xiangnan: "Brother Nan, after releasing the satellite, is it time to move into the lunar orbit?"
Zhou Xiangnan smiled and nodded: "It's almost the same. We went up on a cruise, and now we have slowed down to near the Earth-Moon l1 point. We just need to throw the Queqiao satellite over."
The Earth-Moon L1 point is located on the line connecting the centers of the Earth and the Moon. Objects there can move around the Earth with the same period as the Moon under the joint action of the gravity of the Earth and the Moon.
In fact, at the Earth-Moon l1 o'clock, the Chang'e Project originally launched a satellite here six years ago, but because the centralized ETA was not considered at that time - then who could consider it?
Therefore, the bandwidth of previous communication satellites is obviously insufficient.
The "Queqiao" communication satellite released this time has not only increased bandwidth, but also has upgraded energy, antennas and algorithms.
Of course, the most important thing about releasing the satellite this time is the act of releasing the satellite itself.
As long as it is done well, if we send satellites to space in the future, there will be no need for rockets.
At this time Liu Jiequan smiled and said: "It's not just a loss, it really takes a lot of time to synchronize."
"Well, this is natural, so it's a technical job. You can tell by looking at Mr. Ye's expression."
The picture on the TV just cut back to the lobby. As the picture flashed, Ye Ming's expression was extremely serious and focused, and he was discussing something in a low voice with Director Zhang beside him.
Time passed slowly, and soon the host announced that the moon invitation number was approaching l1 o'clock on the earth moon.
The screen flashed, and the huge hull of the Yaoyue appeared in the lens at close range.
The host's voice came: "What you are seeing now is the observation image of the external ship-borne camera of the Yaoyue. Through the camera, we can see half of the hull of the Yaoyue."
"Now that the sun is in the right position, we can clearly see that Yaoyue is making preparations for release."
…
In the coffee shop, everyone held their breath.
The screen switched again, and for the first time the working scene inside the cabin appeared.
I saw a group of astronauts wearing normal uniforms, carefully putting the satellite on a "launcher", and then everyone gathered around the satellite to carefully inspect it.
Qi Yumo's sharp eyes immediately recognized one of them, and she immediately shouted: "Li Dongsheng! I saw Li Dongsheng!"
It's a pity that not many people here know about Li Dongsheng, and it didn't arouse much resonance.
But everyone here generally has a good memory, and they all remember that there was someone named Li Dongsheng in the astronaut list - some even know that this was the captain of the original RC team.
"I remember he was working on robots, right?"
"Yeah! That's him. He's working at JiZhi Technology now." Qi Yumo laughed. She was naturally happy to see an acquaintance appear on the screen.
At this time, Zhou Xiangnan took a serious look at the picture, shook his head and said with emotion: "Yaoyue is indeed hidden deep... It seems that we have not only achieved anti-gravity takeoff, but also achieved artificial gravity."
Everyone was stunned!
In the past two days, discussions about what technology was used when Yaoyue took off have been going crazy all over the Internet.
——Not everyone only shouts words such as "Awesome", "Salute" and "Blessings".
The abnormal design and take-off posture of the Yaoyue No. are destined to use unconventional take-off and landing methods. After analyzing the pictures frame by frame, everyone has formed a unanimous opinion that the Yao Yue No. uses an anti-gravity force field.
take off.
This... is even more powerful than the controllable nuclear fusion engine, and can even be called a "black technology" technology.
However, in the face of public speculation, the lunar landing project team did not respond at all - how can they have time now!
Therefore, everyone can only guess based on various details.
At this time, when I saw that all the astronauts were stepping on the floor and walking as if they were walking on flat ground...
There is no doubt that this is artificial gravity.
"It's really awesome." Liu Jiequan also sighed: "Now it's not just one generation ahead of the Americans."
"Yeah, I heard Mr. Ye talk about building a space city before, and I've always been confused. If I have to build a space city bigger than the space station... Of course it can be built, but it's not necessary!"
Zhou Xiangnan sighed and shook his head: "I didn't dare to ask at the time, but now I know that Mr. Ye's mind... well... is not something that mere mortals like us can figure out."
Although Zhou Xiangnan's words were joking, to everyone's ears... no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
This brain-computer center building, to put it bluntly, was originally built because of Ye Ming!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, in the TV, a call came from the command room again to invite the moon number.
"Hello Xichang, this is Yaoyue. The satellite is in place and will enter the scheduled launch location in three minutes."
Ye Ming's voice sounded: "Yaoyuehao, this is Xichang, please execute the delivery function as planned."
"Yueyue number received."
…
At this time, the main screen once again cut to the exterior camera of the Yaoyue.
Under the sunlight, a hatch slowly opened on the hull of the Yao Yue that shone with charming metallic luster.
An artificial satellite jumped out of the hatch with a "swish", then began to "get smaller", and finally turned into a sky full of stars.
After a while, bursts of applause came from the command room.
At the same time, the sound of calling for the moon sign was also heard.
"Xichang, the satellite has been launched, and Yaoyue will enter the lunar orbit in one hour."
"Xichang received it, the moon number is invited, and we will continue to perform the mission."
"Xichang, it's time for us to eat. Do the people of the motherland want to see our food?"
Following this sentence, the command room was obviously startled, and then bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard.
Even the host couldn't help but laugh: "We heard that Yaoyuehao made a request to show us the airline meals - Professor Chen, what is the in-flight meal on Yaoyuehao like?"
"Well...this is actually similar to ordinary meals, but the combination is more reasonable."
At this time, Ye Ming's voice sounded again.
Obviously, his voice became much lighter and he also brought a smile: "Yaoyuehao, please switch the screen to the canteen."
"Yueyue number received."
Obviously, the command team on Yaoyue understands that it is not the astronauts in the sky who are really under pressure.
To put it bluntly, they who are in heaven have already entrusted their fate to "God".
Or rather...these people below.
The most nervous people are the people on the ground.
The galaxy is endless, and as a group going to the moon, the only thing they can do is to keep their companions below from being too nervous.
They feel good now.
As a result, people all over the world saw a scene that they will never forget.
The astronauts were sitting in a ridiculously spacious restaurant. Everyone was holding a dinner plate, smiling and waving to the camera.
Some people even raised their tachyons and picked up the dishes on their plates to show off.
It was as if... they were not in space at all, but on a space vacation cruise ship.
…
In the coffee shop, everyone looked at each other.
Immediately afterwards, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Amid laughter, Qi and Mo looked at the command room screen that had shrunk to the lower right corner. Ye Ming also reached out and took the lunch box handed over by Director Zhang.
She exhaled softly, picked up the pre-mixed cocktail and poured herself a glass.
Seeing her appearance, Mo Gu smiled brightly and poured himself a glass.
The two of them touched.
"Invitation to the moon."
"Respect Ye Ming."

two days later
Kennedy Space Center.
Since the implementation of Plan B, no one has the "leisure" to pay attention to the progress of Yaoyuehao.
An increase in risk means an increase in investment costs.
This investment also includes energy.
I have to say... Lao America does have rich experience in going to space.
In just four days, the entire national machinery was fully mobilized. While executing Plan B, it also began to implement Plan C - to land first and ensure that all troubles were solved.
Even, everyone even said in a joking tone "unrealistically"... If the merger of the Yaoyue satellite fails, Plan C can be arranged for them.
Of course... you have to pay.
only……
When Yaoyue began to release the satellite live again, it showed the gravity field in its internal structure, and even showed the dining conditions in the earth's environment...
Everyone was speechless.
"Fortunately, Artemis did not see the dining situation of Yaoyuehao."
After four days, Musk has been able to relatively calmly accept the fact that Yaoyue has achieved an anti-gravity field.
As a technology with two aspects in one, it is no longer so difficult to accept artificial gravity.
Of course, it stands to reason that he should leave - after all, Yaoyue has already launched, and since there is no experience to draw from, there is no way to discuss it.
But due to the simultaneous execution of Plan C, it is only right for him, the boss of SpaceX, to stay here.
Besides, even if he goes back, he won't be able to work with peace of mind.
Director Bowles just smiled after listening to Musk's joke, and then continued to look serious, looking at the data seriously.
As the director of NASA, he is the person least willing to change plans.
But now...according to the data and circumstances, Artemis' Plan B has successfully completed the first phase of the mission, and the second phase of the deceleration mission is about to be completed.
Now, Artemis is making its final deceleration.
In two hours... they will land on the moon with supplies.
It’s about eight hours faster than calling the moon date.
It's just that... Yaoyuehao made a live broadcast two days ago, and it instantly dominated all the media and public opinion around the world.
Even if we land early, what's the point?
Who cares?
As the notice came from the notebook that Artemis was about to enter the landing procedure, Director Powers stood up.
Musk then stood up.
The two people walked to the command hall at the same time.
"Kennedy, this is Artemis, we are doing well and ready to land."
"Artemis, this is Kennedy, permission to land, wish you good luck."
"Artemis received."
Following the call, the attitude and status of Artemis' spaceship began to appear on the big screen.
…
Xichang.
Ye Ming took the coffee handed over by He Mo. After taking a sip, he found that the temperature was just right, so he took a quick sip.
His actions made He Mo shake his head.
"Are you really not going to squint for a while?"
"Don't squint." Ye Ming leaned on the chair. In the past few days, he had been extremely focused and... nervous.
Taking off, sending the star, and landing, although it seems that two things have been completed successfully...but the most troublesome and important thing is the final landing.
And it’s not over even after landing!
He also wants to see with his own eyes that the factory is successfully built and then completes the refining of helium 3!
Or put it this way...
He couldn't completely relax until the Yaoyue took off again and successfully set foot on the earth.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he really doesn't know the importance of things, doesn't care about his body, doesn't even sleep, and has to stay up for ten hours.
——The main reason is that the Americans actually changed their plans temporarily!
Frankly speaking, when receiving this news, the entire Xichang team was still a little confused.
Because the plan of Yaoyue is to take off after Lao America and then land before Lao America!
Only in this way can the awesomeness and superiority of Yaoyuehao be fully demonstrated!
And now, judging from the attitude of Artemis' spaceship over there... they have indeed completed the conditions for early landing.
So, while everyone was sighing that Lao America was indeed awesome and bold, they briefly discussed whether to change the plan.
But after a short discussion, everyone agreed that there was no need to compete with the United States anymore.
If the Americans want to grab this again, then let them do it.
Anyway, the eyes of the whole world are now focused on Yaoyue. Everyone knows how advanced Yaoyue is compared to Artemis, so there is absolutely no need to make any trouble.
Just follow the steps and seek stability.
After drinking coffee, Ye Ming turned on the monitor.
The screen is playing a simulation of Artemis leaving the lunar orbit.
After thinking for a while, he called softly in his mind.
"Yin Tower"
"Hey! I'm watching TV."
Ye Ming smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
He stayed here for so long this time, so naturally Teacher Yin Ta didn't come over.
"Adjust the Queqiao's camera and see if you can see Artemis decelerating into the moon's low-orbit space."
"Okay! It has been adjusted. Do I need to upload the picture?"
“If you can see it, please pass it on.”
After a while, the screen flashed on Ye Ming's monitor.
Through the Queqiao satellite's camera, he clearly saw that Artemis had completed its attitude change and was slowly landing with its butt facing the moon.
"Help them do the math."
"good."
"Artemis data is being collected...collection completed."
"Correct posture."
"Correct posture."
"Correct posture."
Ye Ming couldn't laugh or cry: "Can we not repeat meaningless words?"
"Wait, the posture is incorrect!"
Ye Ming was slightly startled: "What's wrong?"
"Artemis' posture is incorrect."
Ye Ming immediately sat upright and frowned.
On the screen, Artemis shifted a little visibly to the naked eye. Then, the engine flames at its tail became fiercely hot!
The next second, the spacecraft's supply cabin detached from the cabin and fell from the sky.
