118: Successful moon landing! A moment that will go down in history!

Five and a half hours later.

In the vast expanse of space.

The kunpeng space plane was getting closer and closer to the Moon.

Inside the cockpit, Old Zhang stared at the screen and took a deep breath.

"Prepare to decelerate!"

"Brace for the Moon's gravity!"

"Roger!"

All the Astronauts were filled with excitement.

They began issuing deceleration commands to the 'Kunpeng'.

The speed began to drop.

Mach 50!

Mach 30!

...Mach 10!

As the speed continued to decrease.

It was quickly captured by the Moon's gravity.

Next, the kunpeng space plane entered the Moon's outermost orbit.

Beginning its lunar orbit!

And while orbiting the Moon.

It continuously changed its trajectory!

At the same time, the outline of the Moon became increasingly clear.

A gray surface, covered in craters.

Little Wang stared at the Moon's surface, completely stunned:

"This is the Moon?"

"It's exactly as described in the astronomy textbooks."

When viewed from Earth.

The Moon is magnificent and beautiful!

In reality, the Moon is full of pits and craters!

Old Zhang smiled, sighing with emotion:

"That's normal. The Moon has shielded the Blue Star from countless meteorites and celestial bodies!"

"That's why the Moon's surface looks like this!"

"We should be grateful for the Moon's selfless dedication!"

After expressing his feelings, Old Zhang reminded them:

"Pay attention, everyone."

"Next, we will determine the landing site."

"According to the plan, our target landing location this time is: Lunar Sea of Tranquility!"

"Which is the location where Eagle Sauce claimed to have landed back then!"

Little Wang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up:

"The Lunar Sea of Tranquility?! Isn't that where Eagle Sauce claimed to have landed?!"

Old Zhang nodded, saying meaningfully:

"That's right! This is the first landing coordinate set by Headquarters!"

"It's precisely to let everyone see whether Eagle Sauce truly landed on the Moon back then!"

Following this, Old Zhang and the others controlled the space plane to continue orbiting the Moon.

At the same time, they were searching for coordinates suitable for landing in the Lunar Sea of Tranquility... Ground Command Center.

All the Engineers were excited.

"Haha, they've already started orbiting the Moon."

"I'm so excited, we'll see the landing soon!"

"..."

All the Engineers were full of anticipation.

They had waited decades for this day.

Since the Space Race between Eagle Sauce and Big Mao began last century.

The Great Xia Country had always hoped that one day it could also achieve a successful manned Moon landing.

Regardless of whether Eagle Sauce truly succeeded in landing on the Moon back then.

This had always been the goal of the Great Xia Country's Aerospace Engineers.

Today!

This wish was finally about to come true.

Their gazes toward Lin Chen were full of admiration and gratitude!

Li Jianguo also looked at Lin Chen excitedly, his voice slightly choked:

"Little Lin! We are about to land on the Moon."

"This will be the Blue Star's first direct Manned Spacecraft landing on the Moon!"

"This moment will be written into the history books!"

"And you are the greatest contributor."

"No!" Lin Chen shook his head. "This is the result of the collective efforts of countless Scientific Researchers!"

"Landing on the Moon is just the beginning; developing the Moon is the ultimate goal!"

Li Jianguo instantly grew excited. "Good! I believe in you!"

On the other side.

The Live Broadcast Room.

The viewers who were waiting intently.

Upon seeing the kunpeng space plane begin its lunar orbit.

They instantly became excited.

"Holy crap! It's already orbiting the Moon?"

"Wuwu! It wasn't in vain that I waited for more than five hours, I finally reached this moment!"

"It would be best to land at the site where Eagle Sauce supposedly landed back then, and expose their hoax live! Hehe!"

"Someone analyzed it, and it was fake, but Eagle Sauce just refuses to admit it."

"I hope this time we can verify the truth about the Eagle Sauce Country!"

"..."

All Great Xia Country Netizens were eagerly anticipating exposing Eagle Sauce.

At the same time!

The eyes of global viewers were all focused on the Kunpeng.

Everyone was waiting.

Waiting for the moment the Kunpeng lands.

Waiting for the moment the truth is revealed.

Eagle Sauce NASA Space Agency.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

An elderly Expert spoke softly with a distressed expression: "Director, if the Great Xia Country truly lands on the Lunar Sea of Tranquility, then we..."

Durutt's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Alas! We can only pray that the Great Xia Country does not land on the Lunar Sea of Tranquility!"

"Otherwise! We will become the laughingstock of the world."

Back then, in order to drag down the predecessor of Big Mao Country.

They fabricated the enormous lie of a manned Moon landing.

Decades have passed.

They have continuously strived for development in the space domain.

They wanted to land on the Moon again before the lie was exposed.

According to the plan.

They would definitely achieve a manned Moon landing within five years.

However, the Great Xia Country suddenly rose up unexpectedly.

Leaving Eagle Sauce completely unprepared!

Now they can only pray that the Great Xia Country's landing site is not the Lunar Sea of Tranquility!

However!

Durutt's prayer was destined to fail.

Because in the Moon's near-surface orbit.

The kunpeng space plane had already locked onto the coordinates of the Lunar Sea of Tranquility.

Inside the cabin.

Old Zhang had already started requesting permission to land.

"Reporting to Headquarters, landing coordinates locked."

"Requesting permission to land!"

"Permission to land granted!"

"Roger!"

Old Zhang instantly became nervous.

"Focus, everyone."

"Prepare for landing!"

"Roger!"

All the Astronauts responded excitedly.

Next.

The kunpeng space plane's speed became slower and slower.

While its altitude continuously decreased.

8 kilometers!

6 kilometers!

...1,000 meters!

500 meters!

100 meters!

Old Zhang and the others quietly stared at the screen.

Because at this moment, all operations were being handled solely by the Intelligent Entity, 'Kunpeng'.

Various operating instructions were constantly displayed on the screen!

"Attention, preparing to land!"

"Anti-gravity Engine power adjusted to 20%!"

"Estimated landing in 10 seconds!"

"Please sit tight!"

All the Astronauts were excited.

At this moment, the kunpeng space plane was only a dozen meters from the ground.

The landing gear underneath had been deployed.

The craters on the Moon's surface became clearer and clearer.

They could even see the subtle textures of the surface.

Inside the Live Broadcast Room.

Over a billion viewers held their breath.

No one posted Bullet Screen comments, no one spoke.

Everyone was staring intently at the screen.

Waiting for the historic moment.

Finally.

"Thud!"

A slight tremor.

The Kunpeng's landing gear settled firmly onto the Moon's surface.

A line of green text popped up on the screen:

"Kunpeng has successfully landed on the Moon!"

Old Zhang and the others only felt a slight jolt.

And then they became completely excited.

"Calling Headquarters! We have successfully landed!"

Ground Command Center.

"The landing was successful!"

Instantly!

All the Engineers in the entire Command Center stood up and cheered!

Applause and cheers resonated throughout the Command Center.

Next, some Engineers led the way toward Lin Chen.

While Lin Chen looked utterly bewildered.

Several people picked him up and tossed him directly into the air.

They repeated this action!

To express their excitement at that moment.

Lin Chen smiled, letting them celebrate.

Li Jianguo stood watching nearby, his eyes moist, muttering:

"We succeeded! We successfully landed on the Moon!"

On the other side!

Inside the Live Broadcast Room.

The Bullet Screen comments were dense, thicker than paste.

"Success! The Great Xia Country has successfully landed on the Moon!"

"I'm crying! This was too hard-won!"

"From low Earth orbit to the Moon, we only took one month!"

"Great Xia Country is awesome!"

Global media!

Immediately pushed out emergency news alerts.

The headlines were all:

"Great Xia Country's kunpeng space plane successfully lands on the Moon!"
