Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Crewed Lunar Mission? Crewed Mars Mission!
Mo Jingchun, who turned back and looked at the carefree Candy, deeply wished that the little one’s future days could always be as carefree.
Seeing Mo Jingchun, Candy, who was sitting on the bed swinging her legs, imdiately broke into a smile, showing her teeth and laughing heartily.
When the milk cooled down, Mo Jingchun handed the bottle to his younger sister, Candy.
"Hold it steady. If it falls, it’s gone."
With the computer in hand, Mo Jingchun was ready and waiting with his sister Candy for soone to pick them up.
At 7:30, there was a punctual knock on the door.
This made Mo Jingchun wonder if the person outside had arrived early and was just waiting for the right ti to knock.
Mo Jingchun, carrying a backpack with a laptop, opened the door and was surprised to find a female soldier standing outside.
Mo Jingchun silently compared their arms.
Alright, confird from the look, Mo Jingchun couldn’t win against her.
Unlike the serious male soldiers, Song Jiayin smiled at Mo Jingchun and said, "Hello, I’m Song Jiayin, the officer here to take you to the research institute, and I’ll also be taking care of Candy during this period."
On the bed, Candy, hearing her na called, tilted her head to look at the person at the door blocked by her brother.
"Uh, just a mont."
Mo Jingchun turned, picked up his sister Candy, and went out, casually closing the door behind him.
At this mont, Song Jiayin clapped her hands towards Candy in Mo Jingchun’s arms and said gently, "Candy, let sister hold you, alright?"
Candy, nestled in Mo Jingchun’s arms with her little head resting on his shoulder, pouted and shook her head, refusing, "No."
"I want brother to hold ."
Mo Jingchun smiled at Song Jiayin and said, "No problem, you lead the way, I’ll carry her for now."
"Alright."
Now wasn’t the ti to worry over who carries Candy, but to head to the research institute promptly.
Mo Jingchun followed Song Jiayin for nearly ten minutes before reaching their destination.
Had it not been for the numbered crossroad signs, Mo Jingchun would have struggled to rember the way back.
As they pushed the door open, the inside revealed a massive space, about the size of two basketball courts.
Within the vast space were mostly young researchers clad in white.
Song Jiayin led the way into the room and without stopping, continued forward with Mo Jingchun and Candy.
Until Mo Jingchun saw a familiar face.
"Teacher!"
Hearing the call, Chen Xihe turned around, seeing Mo Jingchun, and amiably patted his shoulder, not missing the chance to tease the little one.
"You’re here, huh."
Mo Jingchun nodded.
"Teacher, why did you call
here this ti?"
All the secrecy along the way surely indicated it was no small matter.
Chen Xihe looked at his assistant and said, "Li, explain the specifics to Xiaochun."
"Yes, Teacher."
Li Qianqian, slightly balding, smiled and said, "Let
introduce myself, I’m Li Qianqian, the last student under the teacher who hasn’t graduated yet."
"Hello, my na is..."
"I know, you’re Mo Jingchun, and your sister is Candy. The teacher often ntions you to
in his spare monts."
"As the teacher said, Candy is indeed so adorable, makes one just want to pinch those chubby cheeks."
With those words, the curious Candy in Mo Jingchun’s arms, who had been staring at the big screen, turned her head instantly, looking vigilantly at Li Qianqian.
That little look almost explicitly said, "Except for Brother, no one else is allowed to pinch Guoguo’s cheeks."
Li Qianqian, already a parent, naturally understood the little one’s vigilance and smiled, moving on to the main topic.
Li Qianqian picked up a blank sheet of paper and a water pen and began sketching.
"The teacher invited you over primarily to solve the spacecraft’s attitude and balance problem."
"Anything involving astronauts’ safety is no small matter."
Does this an there is a new moon exploration? Haven’t we already explored the Moon? Could there be new discoveries?
Mo Jingchun had no idea.
"Your task is extrely important, and central."
"Firstly, you need to manage the spacecraft’s attitude adjustnts during its ascent from the surface, which shouldn’t be too difficult for you, though this carrier rocket is larger than ever before."
"Secondly, the manned spacecraft will orbit Blue Star twice before using gravity to head to the Moon and get captured by its gravitational pull."
Li Qianqian looked up at Mo Jingchun, her expression serious, and said, "Next, your first challenge will be to ensure the lunar rover lands stably on the Moon’s surface."
"Only the rover? What about the astronauts?"
Li Qianqian snapped her fingers, "Good question!"
"The deploynt of the rover on the Moon is just an additional task for this manned mission, or you could say it’s an experint."
"Our real destination for this manned mission is here!"
Li Qianqian drew a long line with a black water pen, ending it with a circle and beside it wrote the two big words "Mars."
From the start, the goal was not to simply explore the Moon, but the more challenging and significant manned exploration of Mars!
Quite daring, but... Mo Jingchun expressed his doubts.
"With an extra rover, can the rocket deliver such a heavy spacecraft to space? Plus, in space, with all the necessary adjustnts, isn’t there a risk of running out of fuel?"
Li Qianqian adjusted her glasses with a peaceful tone, "Adding the rover is not an issue."
"The extra fuel is all allocated for your managent and usage."
"So your task is to maintain stable attitude for both the spacecraft and the rover from beginning to end."
After saying that, Li Qianqian looked at Mo Jingchun with expectation.
Mars, unlike the Moon, carries significant risks even with the institute’s technology, which can handle moon landings.
Mo Jingchun contemplated silently for a while before speaking:
"I’ll need a lot of parater support, and the spacecraft’s landing involves finding the most suitable landing spot, aning it needs to adjust its landing stance accurately during descent."
Mo Jingchun earnestly looked at Li Qianqian, "I need their cooperation to ensure the computer constantly receives the latest data."
"That’s not a problem."
A restless Candy, tired of being in Mo Jingchun’s arms, kicked her little legs wanting to get down.
Song Jiayin, who had been standing by, promptly stepped forward and placed the little one on the ground.
——————
"Where’s the boss? He wasn’t here yesterday and isn’t here today either."
"No idea, heard from Su that the boss and Candy seem to have gone on a trip."
"Alright then."
In another newly rented office, 20 technical developers were huddled together discussing how to develop a website that the boss would be satisfied with.
It’s tough, hair-pulling tough, yet directionless.
