When the moon ushered in the sixth visit of a Chinese probe, people on Earth once again cheered for another feat of China's space industry.
On June 25, 2024, Chang'e-6 returned to Earth at an astonishing Mach 31 speed carrying precious samples from the Moon, setting a new record for the speed of re-entry of a human spacecraft. This feat not only demonstrates the rapid development of China's space technology, but also arouses widespread attention and discussion in the international community.
"Standing at thirty" is an important concept in traditional Chinese culture, which originates from the Analects of Confucius that "I am determined to learn five out of ten, and stand at thirty".
It means that when a person reaches the age of thirty, he or she should establish himself in society and achieve something. And today, with the successful return of Chang'e-6, netizens have creatively put forward the concept of "New Thirty and Standing": when your spacecraft reaches Mach 31, other countries will stand up and salute!
This humorous and profound statement vividly reflects the Chinese people's pride in the progress of the country's space industry.
Mach 31, a number that may be unimaginable for the average person. In order to help everyone understand the horror of this speed, some netizens quipped: "No matter how fast the king of Ultra flies, it will only be Mach 20." "
This analogy, although exaggerated, vividly illustrates the astonishing speed of Chang'e-6's re-entry. At such high speeds, Chang'e-6 can also accurately complete jumps and turns, and finally land safely, which is undoubtedly a perfect demonstration of China's space technology.
The success of Chang'e-6 is not just about bringing back some lunar samples. The new Earth-Moon ballistic mode adopted by it is a unique technology in China.
The potential application value of this technology has aroused the imagination of many netizens. It was joked that if this technology is applied to missiles, then a missile launched from the moon can hit almost any target on the planet, and due to its extremely high speed, the existing air defense systems may be difficult to cope with.
Of course, this is just the imagination of netizens, and the peaceful use of space technology is the common expectation of mankind.
The successful return of Chang'e-6 not only demonstrates the progress of China's space technology, but also highlights the improvement of China's comprehensive national strength. This feat has aroused widespread attention and repercussions from the international community.
Interestingly, at the same time as the return of Chang'e-6, some countries began to adopt friendly gestures. For example, Argentina took the initiative to return 14 Chinese cultural relics, and Germany also said that it would return cultural relics looted during the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Even Japanese scholars and publishing houses began to publish collections of information on the Japanese invasion of China. These actions seem to confirm the saying that "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", and when a country becomes strong, other countries will naturally respect it more.
However, we should also be soberly aware that changes in international relations are complex and cannot be simply attributed to a single event.
The success of Chang'e-6 is certainly exciting, but it should be seen as a microcosm of China's long-term commitment to scientific and technological innovation and continuous improvement of its comprehensive national strength. It is precisely because of China's all-round development in the economic, scientific, technological, cultural and other fields that the attitude of the international community towards China has changed.
The success of Chang'e-6 has also triggered people's thinking about the relationship between space technology and national defense capabilities. Some netizens half-jokingly said that the speed of Mach 31 means that China already has the ability to "fight Ultraman".
Although this is just a joke, it reflects the attention paid to the potential applications of space technology in the field of defense. In fact, the development of space technology will indeed have a far-reaching impact on national defense capabilities, but we should pay more attention to the huge potential of space technology in peaceful use, such as earth observation, weather forecasting, communication and navigation, and other fields.
The successful return of Chang'e-6 has also aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Some netizens said, "Originally, I drew double happiness, but when I heard the news, I directly changed it to Furong King." "
Although this sentence is a joke, it reflects the sincere joy of ordinary people for the development of the country. The progress of the aerospace industry is not only the credit of scientists and engineers, but also the result of the joint efforts of the people of the whole country. Every Chinese is proud of it, and this pride will be transformed into the motivation to continue to move forward.
However, while rejoicing in the achievements of the space industry, we must also remain rational and humble. Space exploration is a common cause of mankind and requires the full cooperation of all countries. China's progress should be an impetus for international cooperation, not confrontation. We should share the fruits of space exploration with other countries in an open and inclusive manner, and jointly promote the progress of human civilization.
The success of Chang'e-6 also shows us the importance of scientific and technological innovation. The re-entry speed of Mach 31 is not only a number, but also the crystallization of the efforts of countless scientific researchers day and night.
It tells us that only by persevering in scientific and technological innovation can we remain invincible in the fierce international competition. Therefore, we must continue to increase investment in scientific and technological research and development, cultivate more scientific and technological talents, and inject a steady stream of impetus into China's scientific and technological development.
Looking forward to the future, China's aerospace industry is bound to usher in more brilliant development. The success of Chang'e-6 is just another milestone in China's lunar exploration program. In the future, China will also carry out more challenging missions such as the exploration of the south pole of the moon and the return of asteroid samples. These missions will not only further promote the development of China's space technology, but also make important contributions to mankind's exploration of the mysteries of the universe.
Overall, Chang'e-6 returned to Earth at an astonishing speed of Mach 31, which is not only an important moment in China's space history, but also an important milestone in the world's space history.
It demonstrates China's outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace, demonstrates China's comprehensive national strength, and has also attracted widespread attention from the international community. This achievement allows us to see the bright future of China's scientific and technological development, and also gives us full confidence in the future.
However, we should also be soberly aware that the development of the aerospace industry is a long-term process that requires continuous efforts and innovation.
We should take this as a new starting point, continue to strengthen scientific and technological innovation, promote the development of the space industry, and make greater contributions to mankind's exploration of the universe. At the same time, we should also strengthen cooperation with the international community in an open and inclusive manner to jointly promote the progress of human civilization.
The concept of "New Thirty Years" is not only a praise for the achievements of Chang'e-6, but also a good expectation for China's future development. Let us go hand in hand and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
