Super industrial overlord

Chapter 421 Off Track
Just as they thought, over the past six months, their country has been in contact with many aerospace powers, and has obtained the parts and components needed for the rocket from these countries. Even for the most important engine on the rocket, they have spent a huge amount of money from the Arctic country. Some of them were bought at a high price, and under the guidance of multinational experts, heavy rockets were successfully manufactured.

Of course, even if most of the parts of this rocket come from abroad, they are also domestically produced for them. Just a month ago, this heavy-duty rocket in their country conducted its first test launch. Fortunately, it is very lucky The Elephant Country, which was successfully launched and full of confidence, was naturally very happy, so when they heard that the island country was about to carry out manned spaceflight, they were naturally not to be outdone, announcing their moon plan, and the launch time of the rocket was even shorter than that of the island country. Flight is still a day early.

The Elephant Country is a country with very strong self-esteem. Therefore, after their country's moon plan was determined, the entire country and the entire nation were very supportive, and ordinary people began to cut down on food and clothing, and Shen Chu came to pass it on to their country's aerospace department.

Aerospace development is related to the future of the country and the development of the nation. As long as there are capable countries in the world, they are not willing to lag behind.

July 2020, 7 is the day when the Elephant Kingdom carried out its first moon landing. Since the Elephant Kingdom has not carried out any manned spaceflight activities before, this day has successfully attracted people from all over the world. Attention, even many people in the Dahua Empire looked sideways at him.

The person in charge of the Elephant Kingdom’s space agency stood quietly in the command center, looking through the huge glass window of the command center at the huge rocket standing on the launch pad in the distance. This rocket is 90 meters long. He developed a methane rocket engine with a thrust of more than 3000 tons, which can transport more than 30 tons of materials to the moon. This rocket can be said to be the pinnacle of the strength of their country's industrial department, which makes him very proud. Of course, he automatically ignored the fact that most of the parts on this rocket came from other countries.

However, as the heads of their National Space Administration, they also clearly know the huge gap in aerospace technology between their country and the Dahua Empire. Originally, he also disapproved when there is no manned spaceflight, no intermediate space station, and no lunar exploration. In the case of manned moon landing.

Because he knows that without these previous developments, the risk of direct manned moon landing is too great. According to their calculations, although their country's aerospace technology is already at the world's first-class level in his opinion, but, ah , The risk of direct manned moon landing is as high as 60%, but for the future of their country, in order to be able to occupy a piece of land on the moon, they have to do this.

Of course, their country also wants to buy their country's aerospace planes from the Dahua Empire, but unfortunately, even if their country offered a price of up to 5000 billion a plane, they were directly rejected by the Dahua Empire. They have also made psychological preparations before, as a country's top technology, even they themselves will definitely not sell it.

"Sir, the astronauts can enter!" His assistant reminded him at this time.

"Okay! Let the astronauts enter the lunar spacecraft!" He nodded and said to the assistant next to him!At the same time, he also silently prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, hoping that their country's manned moon landing would be successful.

At the same time, the astronauts of their country were also sent to the scene by the president of their country and watched as they entered the lunar spacecraft.

"Ignite!" Following the order of the person in charge, their country's Elephant-[-] heavy rocket successfully soared into the sky and flew towards space.

When the rocket successfully entered space and began to fly around the earth, the citizens of the entire Elephant Country were very excited, because in their view, since the rocket has broken out of the atmosphere, it is almost close to success.

According to the data previously released by their National Space Administration, the most dangerous period of two months for their country is the period from rocket launch to breaking through the atmosphere. Now that they have passed through the atmosphere, it means that the most dangerous time has passed.

Everything went very smoothly. The rocket successfully broke through the atmosphere, flew around the earth, drove by gravity, flew to high orbit, and then headed straight for the moon.

After nearly ten hours of flight, their country's lunar landing spacecraft finally came near the orbit of the moon, and everything went according to the original plan.

However, when the lunar landing spacecraft of the Elephant Country reaches near the orbit of the moon, it will soon be captured by the gravity of the moon.

"Bang!" The astronauts in the lunar landing spacecraft felt a huge vibration from the lunar landing spacecraft they were on, and at the same time, the computer on the lunar landing spacecraft also sounded bursts of alarms: "Warning! Spaceship Deviating from the scheduled orbit! Astronauts are requested to correct the flight trajectory immediately. Warning! The spaceship has deviated from the scheduled trajectory, and the astronauts are requested to correct the flight trajectory!"

At this time, due to the sudden and strong vibration, the astronauts in the entire spaceship were frightened, and even one astronaut was directly stunned because of the strong vibration.

At the same time, people in the entire Elephant Country and the whole world who are paying attention to the Elephant Country's moon landing were stunned by this sudden mutation.

After tens of seconds, the astronauts in their country reacted first, and immediately started to operate on the computer of the spacecraft, trying to adjust the flight trajectory of the spacecraft, because he knew that if he did not adjust the flight trajectory immediately, the spacecraft With the current flight trajectory, it is impossible for their spacecraft to be captured by the moon's gravity. If they cannot be captured by the moon's gravity, then they know that they will definitely die.

However, no matter how they operate on the computer, the engine of the spaceship cannot be started, let alone change the flight trajectory of the spaceship.

"How is the situation of everyone, how is the situation of the spacecraft!" At this time, the ground command center also responded and contacted them immediately.

"One of the astronauts passed out because of the unexpected situation just now, and everyone else is fine, but due to the situation just now, the engine of the lunar landing spacecraft has problems. Now our spacecraft cannot start the rocket engine. Guidance." An astronaut reported to their country's ground command center.

"What! The rocket engine is faulty, is it hardware or software, can it be ruled out?" the command center asked again!
"In terms of software, we have tested it and there is no problem, so we judge that this should be a hardware failure. The situation just now is likely to be hit by a meteorite.

As a professional astronaut, of course he has a certain understanding of his own spacecraft. After various judgments, he has basically confirmed the cause of the accident.
