The next day.

Qiming Branch, in the lounge on the top floor.

Zhang Zhai woke up from his sleep. The moment he opened his eyes, he completely regained consciousness and immediately turned over and got out of bed.

"Father, Academician Gan is informing you that the Mercury manned landing spacecraft is about to arrive in Mercury's orbit."

As soon as Zhang Zhai's feet touched the ground, A1's voice sounded at the right moment.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhai paused slightly, nodded, and then continued walking towards the bathroom.

moment,

After simply washing up, Zhang Zhai stepped out of the lounge and walked straight towards the temporary command room.

…

In the temporary command room,

As the countdown to the expected landing gradually passed on the front holographic screen, the atmosphere in the entire temporary command room gradually became tense.

At the back of the command room, a group of media reporters could not help but lower their reporting voices.

"...Here is the full live broadcast of the manned landing on Mercury brought to you by the news channel and a number of new media. According to the information disclosed by the Zhaicheng Aerospace Qiming Branch, there are less than two days left before the manned spacecraft is expected to arrive at Mercury.

In a few hours, the historic moment when humans set foot on Mercury for the first time is coming, let’s wait and see!”

"...After a long voyage in recent months, the Gonggong, which is carrying the Mercury landing crew, and the Cangjie, which is responsible for the escort mission, are about to arrive in the orbit of Mercury. This will be the beginning of humans setting foot on Mercury and immigrating to Mercury. It will be the beginning of the era of Mercury immigration.

prelude!"

"...Zhaicheng Aerospace's Mercury manned landing plan is the first manned landing plan for Mercury by human civilization. It will provide the foundation and prepare for the Mercury immigration plan that will be launched by Zhaicheng Space Center in the future..."

While the media lowered their voices and continued reporting,

"Wow... Wow."

The door of the temporary command room opened and closed automatically, and Zhang Zhai stepped into the temporary command room.

The moment they noticed Zhang Zhai's figure, the media pointed their cameras at Zhang Zhai, becoming even more excited.

"...Zhai Shen has appeared in the temporary command room, and the Mercury manned landing plan has officially entered the final stage..."

"...This is the Citizen Daily...Zhai Shen appears..."

Without stopping at the back of the temporary command room, Zhang Zhai went straight to the front of the temporary command room as a group of media reporters continued to report.

…

"Mr. Zhang...Mr. Zhang, Academician Gan..."

Academician Gan and others who were looking at the holographic screen on the front turned their heads when they heard the sound and looked at Zhang Zhai.

After Zhang Zhai nodded to signal to everyone, he looked at the front holographic screen.

The holographic screen has been divided into two pictures. The left side is the real-time picture of the temporary command room of the Yuegong Branch, and the right side is the real-time picture of the interior and exterior of the Gonggong cabin.

After looking at the two real-time images, Zhang Zhai moved his eyes downwards and looked at the real-time data on the lower side of the screen.

The data shows that there is less than half an hour left before Gonggong reaches Mercury's orbit.

Looking back, Zhang Zhai didn't give any instructions.

The Moon Palace Division will be mainly responsible for the Mercury manned landing plan, and the other divisions will only be auxiliary. Zhang Zhai stepped into the temporary command room at this moment just to witness it with everyone.

"Academician Gan, how is the situation in Chenyao City?" Zhang Zhai turned his head and communicated with Academician Gan,

"All the data in Chenyao City are within the normal range, and the initially formed ecological circulation system is also very stable, which is sufficient for the entry of Mercury landing personnel." Academician Gan responded after hearing this,

…

As time passed, Zhang Zhai exchanged various matters with Academician Gan and others, and at the same time paid attention to the situation of the Gonggong and Cangjie ships from time to time.

finally,

At the moment when the estimated time of arrival in Mercury’s orbit crosses the threshold of the last hour,

From the temporary command room of the Moon Palace Branch, the instructions issued by the person in charge of the implementation of the Mercury manned landing plan sounded through the quantum communication equipment in each branch and the spacecraft.

"One hour countdown to Mercury landing preparation, start the final overall inspection of the spacecraft before landing, and at the same time order the spacecraft to start decelerating."

hear the sound,

Zhang Zhai, Academician Gan and others stopped communicating and turned their attention to the picture on the front holographic screen.

at the same time,

In the universe, after receiving the command sound, the Gonggong and Cangjie began to slow down.

In the cabin of the spacecraft, deceleration overload appears,

A group of researchers who had already taken their positions in the main cabin of the Gonggong were firmly fixed on fixed seats by protective straps, preventing deceleration and overload from being photographed on the bulkhead.

Immediately afterwards,

Feedback began to sound in various branches and the main cabin of the spacecraft.

"The Gonggong has begun to continue to decelerate, and the Cangjie is continuing to decelerate..."

"The energy system of Gonggong is normal, the anti-gravity system is normal, the life support system is normal, and the real-time speed is Mach 126.8..."

"The real-time speed is Mach 111.3, and the Cangjie intelligent control system is operating normally,"

"The real-time monitoring of the physical data of the people in the cabin is normal..."

Accompanied by feedback and command sounds, Gonggong, which has less than an hour left in the universe with Mercury, continues to slow down and approaches Mercury's location.

…

Qiming branch, temporary command room,

Listening to the feedback coming from the Moon Palace branch, Zhang Zhai's eyes stayed on the pictures outside the Gonggong cabin and the real-time data of the spacecraft.

The distance-related values ​​​​and speed values ​​​​are constantly shrinking, and the overload data always maintains a relatively stable state.

In the picture captured by the Gonggong's extravehicular camera equipment, Mercury already occupies most of the entire picture, and is constantly expanding, approaching the Gonggong.

"The overall inspection of the Gonggong number has been completed, and all systems are operating normally. The Cangjie number..."

Feedback and instructions sounded one after another,

The last hour before the Gonggong landed quickly passed by.

in the universe,

Gonggong and Cangjie responded to the instructions and continued to reduce their speed, closing the final distance to Mercury.

finally,

Under the nervous anticipation of countless people, the ground personnel of the Yuegong Branch were tense and concentrated, and

Another command sounded in various branches and spaceships,

"Attention, the spacecraft has entered the orbit of Mercury. Order the spacecraft to change course and start sailing around the water."

"The Yuegong Branch understands that the Gonggong and Cangjie ships have begun execution."

Accompanied by the sound of feedback and instructions, the two spacecraft that arrived at Mercury's orbit suddenly changed their attitude, began to sail around the water, and continued to slow down.

"The Gonggong is continuing to decelerate, the real-time speed is Mach 23.6, the Cangjie is continuing to decelerate..."

"Order, confirm the situation of the landing site again!"

Accompanied by the sound of instructions and feedback,

The images captured by the Gonggong's extravehicular camera equipment also changed accordingly. First, when the spacecraft entered the orbit of Mercury, after the entire image exceeded the critical point of distance, it looked like the spacecraft was falling towards the surface of Mercury.

Immediately afterwards, after the attitude of the spacecraft changed, the spacecraft began to be parallel to the ground, and the surface of Mercury began to pass quickly across the screen.

"The conditions at the landing site have been determined and are in line with the planned landing conditions."

"The spacecraft has slowed down to a predetermined threshold..."

"Command, start the manned spacecraft landing procedure and start landing!"

The command voice came from the Moon Palace branch and was instantly transmitted to everywhere through quantum communication equipment.

According to the orbital position of Mercury, the Gonggong and Cangjie, which were sailing around the water, immediately responded to the instructions, suddenly changed their course, lowered their altitude at the same time, and headed towards the scheduled landing site, Chenyao City Interstellar Port.

"The Gonggong's relative altitude speed continues to decrease, the Cangjie's..."

"Relative altitude 180km, real-time speed 11.5 Mach."

"The relative altitude is 120km, the real-time speed is Mach 10, and the landing site distance is 800km."

As the feedback sounds continued, the height and speed of the two spacecrafts responsible for the Mercury manned landing plan rapidly decreased, and at the same time they quickly passed over Mercury, approaching Chenyao City in the North Pole region of Mercury.

"Command, Chen Yao City's intelligent control system takes over the control of the spacecraft, and at the same time opens the external hatch on the top of the interstellar port's parking room."

In the Qiming branch, in front of the temporary command room, Zhang Zhai watched the data changing in real time and issued the only instruction during the entire spacecraft landing process.
Chapter completed!
