387 The Most Dangerous Is Coming

"The Titan will separate the lunar module and the command module in 5 minutes, and the lunar landing process will be taken over by ours."

"I understand, Houston."

Jim looked nervously at Li Changheng standing in the driving position.

Once there is a problem with the automatic landing program, you can only switch to manual control, which means that your life is controlled by others.

Li Changheng glanced at Jim, "If it were controlled by me, it would definitely be safer than automatic landing."

"I know, I know."

Jim nodded quickly, but his eyes were fixed on several buttons that automatically turned into manual ones.

Li Changheng gave him a blank look and just now set his sight on the moon that was close to him.

At this time, the sun shines on the moon, making the surface of the moon look like snowflakes. With the impact of meteorites of all sizes, it instantly makes people feel desolate and lonely.

"Sizi, Titan, Titan, here is Houston. After 1 minute, the lunar module gets out of the command module. Check the seat belt again, guys."

“Received, Houston.”

Jim looked at Li Changheng and saw him lowering his head and starting to check his seat belt, then he began to check his seat belt.

Because I had to carry a life-saving system backpack in the middle of the month, there were no seats in the lunar module, so Jim and Lee Changheng could only stand all the time.

“The separation countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, lunar module detachment.”

With a "click", the mechanical vibration was separated and transmitted to Li Changheng's ears through the oxygen exiting the lunar module.

Through the glass window, I saw the command cabin and service cabin gradually getting further and further away from me.

The most dangerous and least dangerous stage in the moon landing is coming.

As long as the scheduled program does not go wrong, Li Changheng and Jim even need to stand all the time to easily wait for the lunar module to land on the moon.

But if there is any problem, the astronauts have to manually control it and land on their own.

A sound came from my ears again, "Countdown to ignition of the lunar module, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ignition."

“Doudu.”

FK.

Li Changheng and Jim hurriedly looked at the red warning light that was lit, and then the 1201 command error message appeared on the display screen.

Jim, who claimed to be a command madman, suddenly lost his head and tried hard to think about the error prompt of this command, which actually means something went wrong.

But after thinking for a few seconds, I found that my mind was blank.

"Houston, Houston, what is the 1201 directive error?"

"1201? Understand, let's check it now."

Then Jim saw Li Changheng and reached out and pressed the button that kept flashing red lights.

The hunching alarm sounds in the lunar module disappeared immediately.

"Houston, here is Henry Lee, the radar scanner has an error and cannot scan the landing area terrain. The lunar module failed to ignite, the landing speed is 41 feet per second, and manual control is activated."

In an instant, his voice came back to the earth, and people all over the world clenched their fists nervously, and Anne, who was holding Little McCauley, couldn't help but grab her hands.

The little guy immediately said 'ah'.

"Annie, you've grabbed me."

Annie hurriedly let go of her hand, and then she heard Li Changheng's voice coming from the TV again, "The manual control was successfully activated, and the first time he was manually ignited."

After saying that, Li Changheng opened several button protective covers in Jim's surprised gaze.

Without any hesitation, he even pressed the four keys and finally pressed them on a circular button.

A slight aerodynamic sound came, and the rapidly decreasing lunar module speed immediately dropped.

"The ignition was successful and it was officially switched to manual driving."

Jim and Houston were just breathing a sigh of relief when a rush of alarm sounded again.

He was looking at Li Changheng who was in the distance through the glass window. He looked at the display screen and saw an error in Command No. 1202 on it.

"Hell, Jim hurriedly said to the microphone, "Houston, the 1202 command is wrong, I need to know what's wrong."

"I, we're looking, wait a moment."

"No need to check, the lunar module has left the scheduled landing site."

Lee Changheng, who was controlling the control rod with both hands, said without looking at Jim, "Switch off that damn warning light, and I'm going to bankrupt Boeing when I go back.

These bastards actually put a 140-kilogram lunar terrain vehicle in the lunar module, causing the decline to fall by 16% and the fuel consumption to 9%.

At the Houston Command Center, as long as the person who doesn't need to stare at the screen, all look up or look back at the Boeing engineer responsible for building the lunar module.

I saw this guy covering his face with sweat on his forehead, thinking about suing a billionaire. Even if Boeing is rich and powerful, he should be annoyed and may even lose the lawsuit.

Even if Li Changheng was comforted afterwards, it was inevitable that he would be embarrassed.

Of course, the bigger thing is that the lawsuit cannot be fought at all. After all, the astronauts signed a disclaimer before the moon landing.

When Jim saw Li Changheng, he immediately knew what the command was wrong. He looked at him in anticipation and then calmed down after a few seconds.

The eyes are on the level, the speedometer and the mechanical distance display.

“Speed ​​36 feet per second, distance 540 feet.”

Li Changheng silently calculated that 540 was about 164.6 meters, and then looked at the fuel display screen.

Seeing that 26 was shown above, I felt relieved.

But after a few seconds, I saw many potholes on the moon, and even some rocks that looked small but must be bigger than a car.

Immediately start the rear propulsion.

The lunar module "squeezes" and pushed the lunar module forward.

After Jim reported the 'speed 33 feet per second and 390 feet away from the ground', he also saw the rocks on the ground.

"God, there are all rock groups below, change to login, change to login."

Then he saw that Li Changheng's left hand had long been placed on the push rod, and then he continued to remind him with relief, "The fuel is 19 left."

After saying that, Jim immediately cheered up and said, "Relax, Henry, my fuel should be enough."

Li Changheng had no time to pay attention to Jim, his eyes kept staring at the moon through the window, looking for a safe place to land.

"Hell".

Li Changheng, who had a few times stronger vision than Jim, saw a huge circular tunnel about a kilometer away from a distance, and then saw a large number of raised rock layers around the tunnel.

I immediately realized that this place had been hit by a huge meteorite.

And even if you fly over the craters and raised rock layers, it is very likely that it will have the same terrain as below at this time.

Because after the meteorite impact, the large amount of slurry splashed out is scattered, which means that a group of rocks within a radius of more than ten kilometers may be a group of rocks or uneven slopes.

Then I instantly realized that the lunar module might have arrived at the east volcanic group at the landing site of Apollo 12.

After looking at the fuel display, only 14% of the fuel remained.

I calculated it in my mind and the probability of taking risks was too high.

Looking back at Jim, "Man, I'm happy to be with you, but I'll definitely bring you back to Earth."

Jim and the whole world were stunned.
