Chapter 683 Vasily's Memories
At the night celebration party, Vasily Kuznetsov, who drank vodka as plain water when he was young, got drunk and pulled Ali, who also studied under Vasily Pavlovich Mishin,
Ksieevich and Makarov howled like children who had their beloved toys taken away.≧
He thought of his beautiful youth, which was spent on the Red Empire's lunar exploration program. Like most effective scientists, Vasily Kuznetsov had a strong curiosity about the industry he would engage in in his childhood.
Heart.
On May 9, 1965, Vasily had just left his hometown in the Ukrainian countryside to study in a school for the children of a large state-owned enterprise in Moscow. On the TV at home, he witnessed Luna 5 being 64 kilometers away from the moon, preparing to
During the final stage of landing, due to equipment failure, the brake rocket failed to ignite and directly hit the moon with great speed and was destroyed. It also raised a dust cloud 225 kilometers long and 85 kilometers wide on the moon.
Vasily deeply regretted this and hoped that Korolev, who presided over the Red Empire's lunar exploration program, could create miracles again; however, a few months later, he saw such a message on TV, "Our party's outstanding scientific and technological work
Author, the great designer and organizer of the Red Empire’s aerospace industry,
Sergei Pavlovich, the designer of the first artificial earth satellite launch vehicle, the first manned spacecraft, the first lunar probe, the first Venus probe, and the first Mars probe -
Comrade Korolev unfortunately passed away on January 14, 1966 at the age of 59."
"It's simply too bad! I was still thinking about working for him in the future!" Little Vasily's mood remained depressed for several days until January 31, 1966, when the lunar exploration team left by Korolev
After five failed soft landings on the lunar surface, the Lunar 9 probe entered space orbit with the help of the Lightning launch vehicle.
Three days later, Luna 9 successfully landed on the moon's surface, and sent a signal to the earth four minutes later. Seven hours later, it sent a panoramic photo of the moon's surface to the earth.
This success made the entire Red Empire cheer. Vasily and his friends stood on the table excitedly and shouted, claiming that the Red Empire had once again come ahead of the Americans; at this time, he once again determined to engage in aerospace research.
Although Comrade Korolev has passed away, his assistant Vasily Pavlovich Mishin has taken over his career. From now on, it seems that he is doing a pretty good job! Maybe he can do it in the future
Go work for him.
For his dream, Vasily began to study calculus, gas dynamics, materials science and many other related fields as soon as he entered middle school.
However, not long after, the American Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon. Armstrong's small step completely shattered the Red Empire's dream of being the first to land on the moon! The Red Empire's enthusiasm for the moon landing program was greatly reduced.
In addition, Korolev's successor Vasily Pavlovich Mishin did not have as good a political mind as him, which led to the N-1 launch vehicle plan being completely canceled after experiencing several failures.
The Empire completely gave up on going to the moon.
But Vasily still did not change his ideals. He believed that as long as the Red Empire still existed, they would not be able to allow the Americans to monopolize the honor of landing on the moon! He continued to work hard for his dream. After experiencing arduous study
, Vasily was successfully admitted to the Department of Aircraft Design of the Moscow Aviation Institute, and began to study under Mishin, director of the Rocket Teaching and Research Office, academician of the Red Empire Academy of Sciences, and Korolev's successor.
After a long period of study, Vasily was finally able to enter the aerospace department of the Red Empire and design rockets for the Soyuz spacecraft.
When he first entered the rocket design unit, Vasily was very high-spirited and believed that one day he would realize Korolev's unfulfilled dream and send Red Empire astronauts to the moon.
During this period, he also went to China for visits and exchanges, and got acquainted with Academician Wang Yongzhi, a Chinese aerospace technology expert who also studied under Academician Mishen. At that time, he did not have a good impression of China's aerospace research, although he worked in a certain
They are indeed unique in some areas, but their overall strength is far behind the Red Empire.
As his working hours increased, Vasily's position became higher and higher, and he gradually became a high-profile young man in the team! Mishin even personally expressed his appreciation for him on an informal occasion. If the Red Empire can continue
If this continues, maybe he will be able to inherit Mishin's position in the long run, and it's not certain that Korolev's last wish will be fulfilled.
However, gradually he found that the funds of the institute were getting less and less, the new young people were becoming more and more confused, and various research plans were repeatedly postponed! Finally, a bolt from the blue came, and the Red Empire collapsed!
Lucia, who inherited the aerospace legacy of the Red Empire, did not have much funds to spend on this. In addition, Vasily was born in Ukraine, so he lost his job and was reduced to performing accordion on the street to make a living.
Fortunately, his original relationship with China worked. Academician Wang Yongzhi personally went to Lucia to invite him to join China's space program! Desperate, Vasily reluctantly accepted the invitation with trepidation; he began to work for another
The aerospace industry of a red country has made its own efforts.
More than ten years later, a young genius came here. Although he did not appear often, every time he came, he would greatly promote the progress of the institute's work, and incredible achievements were made in his work.
becomes a reality.
Vasily's already gradually dead heart became excited again. Maybe under his leadership, he could really realize his dream when he was young?
Decades of struggle finally saw the dawn of victory today. No wonder Vasily was so out of sorts today, but even though he was drunk and unconscious, there was still a smile on Vasily's lips.
64 hours later, the entire country of China focused its attention on the moon. Under the attention of hundreds of millions of people, the lunar module of the Yutu spacecraft successfully landed at the predetermined location on the lunar surface.
"We can see that the lunar module is very stable. After the door of the lunar module is opened, our astronauts can walk down the ramp and step on the surface of the moon! Let us guess who will be the first.
