Chapter 1354

Professor Reston vowed that even after the influence of Hollywood science fiction films, he never thought that one day he would see such a shocking scene in reality.

Eight long robotic arms stretched out from the edge of the Moon Palace space station, like spiders' feet, between three sets of spacecraft components.

As if it was a pinlead, more and more spacecraft components were connected together, gradually outlining the outline of the Xufu colonial ship.

"It's impossible..."

The expression on his face was like crazy. Professor filgord, standing next to Professor Reston, kept his lips open and closed, muttering the same words.

"The extravehicular spacecraft is assembled on the space station by a robotic arm How can it be! "

The expression on Professor Reston's face was the same.

Assemble the spacecraft on the space station!

And still use the mechanical arm to operate!

It sounds like a dream talk.

This is not as simple as spacecraft docking. It is no exaggeration to say that it is even an order of magnitude higher than the technical difficulty of simple spacecraft docking.

Without a separate power system, these spacecraft components floating in outer space are not much safer than space junk.

Just think about how difficult it is to clean up the high-speed space junk, and how impractical it is to assemble these scattered sky components with the robotic arm of the space station.

A little carelessness, not to control the speed and orbit height, may cause the space station to collide with those floating spacecraft components, and eventually lead to a serious space accident!

"Would it be holography?" I heard that they have a kind of holographic projection technology which can be used to fake the truth At the bird's Nest stadium. "

"It sounds more bizarre than assembling a spaceship in space."

There was a wry smile on Professor Reston's face when he heard Professor Phil Goethe's speech as if he were talking in a dream.

He's heard about the holographic projection of the bird's nest, and he's even seen the videos on YouTube. Many people regard it as the film media technology of the new era, and the pictures presented in front of people are almost lifelike to the extent of falsehood.

However, he is clear that this thing needs water vapor and other things as the imaging medium. Where does this thing come from in space.

In fact, in addition to the mechanical arm stretched out from the Moon Palace, there was a more confusing thing for him.

Is there really no problem with such a casual assembly method?

As you know, the requirements for the airtightness of the ship cabin of manned spacecraft are very high. Especially in the state of accelerating progress, each additional interface will increase one point of risk.

And now

These Chinese people are equivalent to the whole "Xufu" into large parts, even the cabin has been split in two. Can such a casual assembly really ensure the safety of astronauts in the cabin?

Professor Reston is rather sceptical about this.

However, the doubt did not linger in his mind for long.

Soon all the confusion in his heart was dispelled by the shocking scene.

It wasn't just him who saw it.

Everyone in the command room saw it.

The front end of one of the robotic arms on the Moon Palace suddenly blinked a series of faint white lights that could not be ignored. The white light, like a dagger, swept through the junction of the spacecraft's shell.

At the same time, a crazy idea came out of Professor Reston's mind.

Welding!

They actually put a welding gun on the mechanical arm!

Although the construction of space additive is nothing new, in the 1980s, the Soviet astronauts had carried out the first extravehicular welding test of human beings outside the space station salute 7. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States also carried out similar research. However, he heard about the application of this technology in the assembly of large spacecraft for the first time!

At this moment, what happened on the Moon Palace completely subverted his understanding of the aerospace industry.

This is not like assembling a spacecraft

It's like refitting a space shuttle on the space station!

Gradually realizing the seriousness of the problem, Professor Reston looked at the assistant standing next to him. Regardless of the dumbfounded expression on the assistant's face, he ordered in a serious tone.

"Send the shot to Pentagon space command immediately!"

The assistant nodded his head and then ran to the command room.

Looking back at the picture on the big screen, Professor Reston clenched his fist, and a haze gradually covered his brow.

China's mastery of space construction technology is likely to have exceeded their estimates.If they can really assemble space vehicles of more than 100 tons in outer space

In theory, it's to make a bigger one.

It won't be too difficult.

……

In fact, plasma welding is the least remarkable of the other cutting-edge technologies used in this "easy" space port.

However, other technologies are not so easy to be observed directly.

Even researchers from all over the world who work on the Moon Palace know nothing about these things, let alone optical satellites that are more than 300000 kilometers away.

And these technological reserves are exactly what China does not cover up in its plans to board the fire.

What if it's seen?

It's not easy to copy something even if it's in front of you.

Regardless of the waves in Professor Leston's and Professor filgord's mind, the foreign researchers on the Moon Palace are almost all surprised by what happened outside the porthole.

Staring at the gradually formed colonial ship Xu Fu, Professor Pearson from the Physics Department of Harvard University, his face was filled with unspeakable shock.

He is a professor of particle physics who came here through imcrc.

Since the completion of the Hadron Collider, he has served in the moon science station and the Moon Palace.

Even though in this period of time, he has seen all kinds of strange space technology, but at this moment, he still can't control the shock from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, he asked.

"Those robotic arms Is someone operating it? "

"How is it possible? Who has the ability to operate eight hands at the same time? "Professor Yan xinjue, who is standing beside him and also serving in the lunar science station, said with a boastful smile," if not surprisingly, this thing should be controlled by artificial intelligence. Didn't the Moon Palace change the chip set of the central computer some time ago? Maybe it was the upgraded technology at that time Of course, I'm just guessing. I don't know exactly what it is. "

Without concealing the envy in his expression, Professor Pearson shifted his eyes from the porthole and looked at professor Yan Xinjue. "Your aerospace technology is really impressive I envy you. "

Hearing the honest praise, Yan xinjue smiled a little embarrassed.

Although he is not an expert in aerospace.

But to be honest, the feeling of being looked at with envious eyes by scholars from other countries still makes his heart quite dark
