Chapter 580

Of course, at this time, because the phoenix-5 space plane, that is, dz0248 space flight, is still some distance from the Ziwei space station, the space station in front of you is only a white spot. However, as the distance between the two is closer and closer, the white spot becomes brighter and larger, The brightness of the sunlight reflected by the flight space station in space is very high. Even on the earth's ground, it can be clearly seen that the light flashing by the space station absolutely exceeds the brightness of the brightest star seen on the earth, that is, the enlightenment star.

Not to mention that both sides are in the universe, not blocked by the atmosphere, especially so. However, as the light spots become brighter and brighter, and finally as the space plane continues to approach, the panorama of the Ziwei space station gradually appears in front of everyone on board.

Although in the distance, we don't think how big the Ziwei space station is. After all, the background of the Ziwei space station is space, the moon and the earth. Compared with these planets, the Ziwei space station is indeed as small as a cell. After all, the total mass of the Ziwei space station is only a few thousand tons.

However, when the space plane brought everyone close to the Ziwei space station, everyone had a clear understanding of the Ziwei space station. Although the tonnage of the Ziwei space station may not be large, after all, it is only a few thousand tons, but its size is definitely not small.

This can be seen from the previous international space station on earth.

In the past, the international space station, the largest space station of human civilization, had a mass of only about 400 tons, but its maximum length reached more than 110 meters and its maximum width reached nearly 90 meters, but its tonnage was only more than 400 tons.

The Ziwei space station weighs thousands of tons, so its maximum length has reached nearly 200 meters, its maximum width has reached more than 180 meters, and its maximum available diameter inside the space station has reached more than 10 meters. It is definitely a behemoth.

Most importantly, the Ziwei space station is different from all previous space stations of human civilization. Most of the previous space stations of human civilization are composed of ultra-light metals, such as aluminum magnesium alloy, but the Ziwei space station is different. In order to ensure the safety of the space station, the shell of the space station is made of special alloy steel and is inside and outside the space station, There are no messy lines and pipelines, which gives people a natural sense of the security, which could not be achieved by previous space stations of the human civilization.

Of course, the fact is also true. In terms of anti-collision ability and internal fire prevention, Ziwei space station is not comparable to previous space stations. Even compared with other foreign space stations under construction, its performance is not comparable to other space stations.

At this time, when the people in the aircraft saw such a huge space station, many people in the aircraft silently left excited tears. After all, the space station is a space station designed, launched, manufactured and built by Huaxia and Tiangong technology on their own, Every screw inside is the result of the hard work of many enterprises in China.

When was Huaxia excluded by foreign space agencies from participating in their projects? But now, Huaxia Tiangong technology not only designed and built the actually largest space station, but also let those space agencies that once excluded Huaxia come to the door.

After all, in today's human civilization, apart from the ability of Tiangong technology to independently design and build a space station of more than 1000 tons, no space agency has this ability. Some even say that even if Tiangong technology gives them the construction design drawings of the space station, they can't build it without the help of Tiangong technology.

Of course, everyone knows that Tiangong technology and the government also made unimaginable efforts to build the space station. Apart from others, the investment in money alone is as high as trillions, not to mention the human and material resources paid in the process of building the space station.

Of course, in the current world form, as a qualified official reporter, Luo Daling naturally won't say this, but asked the photographer to point the lens at the Ziwei space station, while introducing some basic data and functions of the space station.

As the space plane continued to approach the space station, the radio of the space plane rang again. In the radio, everyone was asked to return to their seats and fix themselves. Then, as before, the glass cover on each seat of the space plane also rose again.

For all this, everyone on board clearly knows that the aircraft is about to dock with the space station, and there will be some dangers in the docking process between the aircraft and the space station.

Soon, the distance between the aircraft and the space station was close to within 200 meters. At this time, the pilot of the aircraft also opened an intelligent docking program independently developed by Tiangong technology.

After all, the docking between the space plane and the space station is quite dangerous, especially in manual operation. If the pilot makes fewer mistakes in the docking process, the plane may be directly installed on the space station.

Although the anti-collision ability of the space station may not be much damaged, this is not the case for aerospace aircraft. After all, compared with the space station, the anti-collision ability of aerospace aircraft is still somewhat fragile.

The use of intelligent docking program is different. In the docking process between the aerospace aircraft and the space station, there is no need for manual intervention, and in the docking process of the space station, if the program is wrong, the aircraft will directly stop docking. If there is no way, you can also manually interrupt the docking and switch to manual docking.

In short, in order to ensure the safety of the two spacecraft during docking, Tiangong technology also worked hard.

Of course, what Tiangong technology has done is also very useful. Before this docking program came out, there were many dangerous situations in the docking process between the aerospace aircraft and the space station. The most serious one was that the aerospace aircraft even directly knocked off a solar energy board of the space station.

However, since Tiangong technology developed the independent docking program, such a thing has never happened again, even small dangers have not appeared again.

In addition, the docking time is much faster. In the past, the docking of spacecraft also took at least a few hours or even days. However, with this program, it often takes less than half an hour to successfully dock. It can be seen how helpful this program is for the docking of spacecraft.

At the same time, now, not only Tiangong technology itself is using this program, but even official space stations and foreign space stations are also using this program.
