Chapter 565

At the same time, as the Mars Express began to return to earth, the firefly space station did not stop, and five astronauts began to leave the station to walk in space for space operations.

Next, they will officially launch the firefly space station in high-altitude orbit on Mars, which is about to transform itself from a "Bachelor".

An astronaut was suspended in the position of the No. 2 experimental module of the space station. In front of him, the flat B230 inflatable capsule began to bulge slowly. A large amount of nitrogen and oxygen were equal to the atmosphere of the earth. The air pressure inside the capsule was steadily rising until it was consistent with the earth's atmosphere ’The internal space volume of the space station was officially increased by 230 cubic meters.

After the B230 inflatable capsule was opened and operated safely, the astronauts nearby moved the small display panel on the back of their wrists for several times. The truss on the main cabin of the space station began to change. The two truss limbs moved with the pulley, rotated and changed angles. Finally, the B230 was fixed and a butt joint was assembled on its tail.

At this time, the astronauts saw a bulging inflatable capsule. The exterior sign was b330, indicating that the independent inflatable capsule had a space capacity of 330 cubic meters.

Next, the slowly floating b330 will complete manual rendezvous and docking with B230.

After the astronaut took over the control of b330, he saw him hovering around. In his hand, a mini version of the handle appeared in his hand, which was small but extremely complicated. There was an 11 inch screen in the middle, which showed the green grid figure of spatial distribution between b330 and B230, and a large number of live data were changing on both sides.

As an attentive astronaut, his sight is frequently exchanged between the capsule and the 11 inch screen. The surface of the b330 inflatable space capsule is ejecting gas from time to time, slowly flying, becoming brighter and brighter near the B230 interface.

Finally, in 18 minutes, the docking of the two modules was completed. The responsible astronaut finally took a long breath and hung the small control handles one by one on the components at his thigh to fix them. At the same time, he reported: "the experimental module 2 is in normal operation."

Looking around, the entire "firefly" space station continued to work in outer space with the cooperation of the crew, and completed its cocoon breaking journey in six and a half hours. Six solar panels with a length of 100 meters were extremely shocking. In addition to absorbing some solar energy, the most important role of these panels is to cover up the core energy sources of the space station The fact that the earth brings high energy storage purple source crystals.

Otherwise, such a large space station would be too incredible.

A few hours later, the "firefly" space station established communication with Noah of the United States for the first time. Trapped in a lonely world of hundreds of millions of kilometers, the original hope for life was so slim that he gave up. Duncan Jones could no longer suppress his excitement at the moment when he heard the voice of the same kind. Although he knew that the other side was Chinese, he was not serious here at the moment Yes.

After the communication link was established, Duncan Jones transferred the control authority of Noah to the firefly space station according to the instructions. This was approved by the Houston Space Center. If Noah wants to complete the docking with the firefly space station, the instructions must be consistent.

Fortunately, although the two man-made objects come from different countries, they all have one thing in common, that is, they both have products from Bigelow Aerospace, which means that they can arrive at the matching interface earlier.

At the same time, "Mars Express" is embarking on the road of return. Three months later, it arrived at the earth's upper orbit as scheduled. The spacecraft was placed at the docking port of "Tiangong ring orbit star port". In the three months after the return of "Mars Express", CMSX and NASA are also making rapid preparations.

When the spacecraft entered the "Tiangong ring orbit star port" berth, it began to replenish materials, especially energy supply. A round-trip journey consumed a lot of energy, but the energy supply was not very difficult. The purple source crystal stones full of energy had been ready for a long time. After entering the docking port, the spacecraft began to pour energy into the internal energy storage warehouse to let the purple crystal inside Get energy replenishment.

With the announcement of the safe return of Mars Express to earth, the global vision has gradually shifted from nuclear fusion energy to space exploration. This time, the cooperation between the two strongest space powers in the world has also attracted much attention.

Since CMSX and NASA reached a formal cooperation consensus, with the help of matrix technology in three months, NASA can finally send noah-2 into space ahead of time. At that time, noah-2, a large number of materials carried by Americans, will dock with Mars Express and arrive at Mars with the help of this spacecraft.

In October, the moment of attention came again.

NASA's special plane arrived at Hainan International Airport with a team of armed tactical detachment, astronauts and scientific researchers. There were 12 people in total including 6-person armed tactical team, 4 astronauts and 2 scientific researchers.In the afternoon, the group arrived at the headquarters of CMSX space base under the leadership of NASA's chief executive Charles bor.

After a day's rest, a small armed detachment sent by NASA was secretly sent to other regions. The cooperation between the two sides is semi open to the outside world. Only the two sides know about sending armed sub units to Mars and keep it in top secret.

Both sides have their own armed teams, and their mission is very clear, that is, to undertake the defense mission of the Mars sentinel base, and the main enemy is the Martian indigenous creatures.

On the third day, matrix technology and NASA held another press conference. In addition to the official representatives of the two countries, astronauts from the two countries also attended. NASA attended 6, while CMSX attended 3, a total of 9 astronauts attended the meeting.

Of course, these are the astronauts or scientific research personnel announced to the public. The armed tactical teams on both sides were sent into space yesterday through the "arc Eagle 9". The personnel sending the armed forces to Mars can't appear in public view. If the outside world knows about it, it will blow up the pot, and NASA has more astronauts than CMSX It's because the other side is trying to replenish the people lost on Mars.

A group photo of 20 people quickly appeared on the headlines of major media and newspapers. Nine spacemen were at the forefront. The rest were the official representatives of CMSX and NASA. Liu Yuliang and Charles bor were also among them. The background of the photo was the flag representing the two countries. It is worth mentioning that Ren Hong did not attend the meeting.

After the regular reception, the astronauts will also board the ship and leave the earth.

The next day, a large number of reporters set up cameras in the attic area outside the runway field of the CMSX space base at dawn. "Arc hawk 9" has already stopped on the runway field. For the media, this is the first time that CMSX has let them shoot the runway field of the arc-shaped launch tower at close range.

Mars rescue has attracted worldwide attention.

Today is the day of the joint expedition, naturally ushering in global attention. Major media and newspapers are conducting live reports, and google satellite in outer space is also ready.

At 7:37, the appearance of a group of men and horses immediately made countless cameras lock them in. The figure of nine astronauts appeared on the runway and waved to the camera. Under the lock of the camera, the cabin door of "arc Eagle 9" slowly opened, and the staff immediately pushed the ladder. Under the focus of global vision, nine astronauts boarded the ship.

At 8:21, the staff on the runway were evacuated successively.

"Hello, I'm a paleontologist, Evelyn uton. Nice to meet you."

"Hello, Liu Peng."

"Liu, are you going to Mars, too?"

"Yes."

"Wow, to be honest, I'm a fan of yours. I think there will be a lot of people whining, and the space anchor will quit."

"My name is Fitch Franklin."

"Jingtian."

In the cabin, the two sides introduced each other and started chatting and getting familiar with each other. The next time we get along will be at least 100 days. Although the array is different, after all, this is the cooperation period. Jingtian and Evelyn are also attracting much attention this time, because their first batch of female astronauts landing on Mars are destined to be recorded in history.

"All units, the spacecraft is about to start..." The voice announcer in the cabin rang English instead of Chinese. There was no way. Several foreigners didn't know Chinese very well, but all Chinese astronauts knew English.

People began to check the seat belts to confirm all the safety problems. One astronaut was slightly excited and said, "it's totally different. It's like being an Airbus special plane. Ha ha."

For this group of old Americans, it is true that the "arc hawk 9" is completely designed for carrying personnel. The maximum load can take 29 people into space at the same time. Different from the car fixed on the rocket, the cabin of the "arc hawk 9" is exactly like taking an Airbus plane. Naturally, the comfort level is not comparable to that of the spacecraft on the rocket.

The US, who first experienced China's air and sky transport aircraft, was very curious and excited about the following affairs. For them, everything was their first experience.

“…… 2…… 1 ignition... "

The high acceleration of the nine astronauts in the cabin made all their backs stick to their seats at the same time.

"Still that familiar feeling, uncomfortable!"

Outside the runway, countless cameras locked in the arc-shaped orbit of the "arc Eagle 9" at high speed. In less than 10 seconds, the spacecraft separated from the launch tower, and finally flew into the sky.

These reporters were impressed by the heat wave on the runway. The camera photographed the orbit area the spaceship passed by. The air in the scene was clearly wavy. It can be seen that the temperature on the runway is so frightening at the moment.

After the spaceship left the runway, the staff wearing special thermal insulation protective clothing immediately swarmed into the runway to start artificial cooling and maintenance. The reporter also wanted to stay longer to obtain more information, such as the special clothing of the staff and the first-hand information of the maintenance of the runway. However, the Lord has already gone to heaven, and the security personnel of the CMSX space base have started to monitor The journalists were forced to leave.High earth orbit.

"Oh my God!"

"It's not the first time to see" Tiangong ", but the first time I saw her at such a close distance still shocked me. I can't believe it. I'm on the way to the boat!"

"How did you do this miracle?" Asleen looked back at the Chinese astronaut behind her and asked in surprise. At this moment, nine astronauts at the same time grabbed a white cable and was being pulled to the Xinggang landing hatch. All of them appeared in outer space in their spacesuits. Six Americans looked around curiously, some were looking at the huge centrifugal capsule of Xinggang, some were looking at "Tianyan 2", etc. in front of them, the giant object in front of them was the largest space in human history Tiangong ring rail Xinggang.

During the spacewalk, the forthright isline chatted and expressed her admiration without concealment. All kinds of exclamations emerge in endlessly. It can be seen that this is from the heart, without any fraud. When several Chinese astronauts heard her praising words, they were also inexplicably happy and proud.

Tiangong ring orbit Xinggang is undoubtedly the crystallization of this country's space technology. It has become a symbol of the country's super strength in the field of space technology. I'm afraid any citizen will be proud of it.
