Chapter 1777: Everything is ready

The other practitioners who stayed behind in the courtyard had already looked up in the courtyard.

Chen Xuan and others also stood on the deck of the Obsidian Flying Boat, waving at the people below.

Chen Nanfeng saw his son standing on the side of the ship intact, and a smile appeared on his face.

It is definitely impossible to say that they are not worried. Although they also took the Obsidian aboard the last time, they were far from reaching the orbit of 400 kilometers, and because there was no extravehicular spacesuit at the time, they did not stay like this. Long time.

This time, the verification flight can basically simulate the situation on the way to the moon. If there is a problem in any link, it will definitely be exposed, and there is also a certain degree of safety risk for the personnel.

Therefore, from this perspective, the risk factor of the first batch of personnel participating in the verification flight is much larger than that of the second batch.

Xia Ruofei and others jumped off the obsidian flying boat. Chen Nanfeng greeted him and asked, "Friend Xia, is everything going well?"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded, and said, "No problem! Our plan should be feasible! We have tested the performance of the extravehicular spacesuit and the functions of all aspects of the spacecraft. It is almost as we expected, supporting us for a round trip. There should be no problem with the moon!"

Liu Mansha saw that the elder Yangliu of Feihua Valley and his lover Yu Xin'er were unharmed, and her hanging heart was also let go. After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, she asked, "Friend Xia, a trip to and from the moon will take at least one or two months! The durability of that spacecraft..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I asked the American. The Dragon Spacecraft is designed to operate in orbit for at least one year, so it can operate in space for a long time. Lord Liu Gu can rest assured that the world's people The level of science and technology can be reached long ago. The Mir space station has been in service for 15 years, and it was built in 1976. Human science and technology reached this level as early as decades ago, and it is now in orbit. The International Space Station in operation is also in orbit for a long time. The design and construction of the Dragon spacecraft uses more advanced technologies and materials. There is absolutely no problem in supporting it for several months, unless it is encountered with force majeure factors such as meteorite impact. , Causing serious damage."

Chen Xuan also smiled and said: "Meteorite impact is a small probability event. I am worried about space junk... However, space junk is mainly distributed in low-Earth orbit. After being far away from the earth, space junk is almost non-existent. Everyone's mental power is not a display. If you really encounter the risk of collision, you can definitely detect it in advance and avoid it!"

Chen Nanfeng smiled and said, "If this is the case, then we can rest assured!"

Liu Mansha also smiled and nodded and said, "It seems Daoyou Xia has considered these factors a long time ago, but we need to worry too much!"

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "There are too many unknown situations in space. It is necessary to take precautions, and unexpected situations can never be completely avoided. We still have to rely on adaptability, so we do our best to be prepared. , As for the risk... if we are afraid of risk, why should we form this expedition!"

Xia Ruofei's words were very appetizing for Mu Sheng. He laughed heartily and said: "Cultivation is a fight against the heavens. The cultivator's pursuit of longevity is in conflict with the rules of heaven! The risks are high, and the opportunities are naturally great. Brother Xia, to be honest, I envy you! If I can pass the screening, even if this old bone is buried on the moon, the old man must go! Hahaha!"

"Father's business, brother Jianfei will go to the moon instead of you, it's the same!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Then, he turned his attention to Mu Jianfei and others, and said: "Elder Mu, Elder Shen, Brother Jianfei, Girl Yurou, please board the boat! Let's start the second verification flight right away!"

The four of Mu Hua smiled and nodded. They felt a lot lighter at the moment. After all, the first batch of Chen Xuan had already passed the road.

Xia Ruofei saw that the four of them had jumped onto the flying boat, so he smiled and said to Chen Nanfeng and others: "Three seniors, I will accompany Elder Mu and them on a trip!"

"Thanks for your hard work!" Chen Nanfeng smiled and nodded.

Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also nodded to Xia Ruofei. Mu Sheng looked up at Mu Hua and Mu Jianfei standing on the side of the obsidian spaceship, and exhorted loudly: "After going up, pay attention to safety and follow Xiao Brother Xia. Do not act without authorization!"

"Yes!" Mu Hua and Mu Jianfei hurriedly bowed and replied.

Xia Ruofei arched his hands at everyone, and then flew onto the flying boat.

The next procedure was the same as before. Xia Ruofei drove the flying boat to an altitude of 5,000 meters, had everyone put on extravehicular spacesuits, and then went straight to the 400-kilometer orbit.

On the orbit, Xia Ruofei released the Dragon spacecraft, connected it to the Obsidian flying boat, and then led everyone into the spacecraft.

The difference from the last time is that this time Xia Ruofei does not need to adjust the shielding enchantment range of the Obsidian Flying Boat, just activate the shielding formation on the spaceship.

At the same time, he does not need to turn on the solar windsurfing board, because the windsurfing board has been kept open.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei only remotely turned on the main power switch of the Dragon spacecraft with mental energy, and after decompressing the cabin that entered the cabin, he opened the door and got into the spacecraft first.

The stay time on the orbit this time was similar to the last time. Xia Ruofei asked everyone to practice the basic control of the spacecraft several times on-site, and took everyone to familiarize themselves with the various cabins of the spacecraft. After practicing the process of entering and exiting the cabin, Take everyone out of the spacecraft and return to the ground.

Chen Nanfeng and others also came to the Obsidian Flying Boat with flying swords, and carefully checked the flying boat.

The final result also made Chen Nanfeng and others relieved-the Obsidian flying boat was verified twice without any damage at all, which fully shows that the material of the Obsidian flying boat is strong enough to cope with the harsh environment in space.

As for the Dragon Spacecraft, after Xia Ruofei's explanation, everyone no longer worried about whether it could operate in space for a long time.

...

The next few days, everyone spent patiently waiting.

Everyone used this time to get familiar with the operation manuals of the spacecraft and extravehicular spacesuits. During this period, Xia Ruofei organized everyone to take the Obsidian flying boat to the 400-kilometer orbit for two actual operations according to the last grouping.

The cultivator’s learning ability is very strong. With these few practical operation exercises and the usual time to learn the operation manual, basically everyone has mastered the basic operation of the spacecraft and the use of the outer space suit. Some precautions for life in space are also well-known.

This knowledge is likely to be used in the actual journey to the moon, and it may even save one's own life. Therefore, everyone is facing and learning with a very serious attitude.

In addition to daily study, Xia Ruofei also took the time to go out.

The purpose this time is also very simple. He wants to send Song Wei away first, and not to send Song Wei back to school or Sanshan's home, but directly to Taoyuan Island to live there temporarily.

The mission to the moon this time will take at least one or two months. Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue are both on the expedition list, but Song Wei can only stay on Earth because he has not passed the selection of music.

Xia Ruofei was still not at ease about Song Wei's safety.

After all, senior golden cores like Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha have also stayed on the earth.

What kind of opportunities there will be during the expedition is still unknown. Xia Ruofei has to consider if the benefits are large to a certain extent, whether the powers currently in the cooperative honeymoon period will turn their faces. These possibilities exist. , And Song Wei will become Xia Ruofei's weakest link, so he must arrange Song Wei in advance.

Taoyuan Island is undoubtedly the most secret and safest place.

Originally, Xia Ruofei wanted to build a communication system so that Song Wei could keep in touch with them even on the ground.

However, when he was in the United States, he specifically consulted Elon Musk on the issue of heaven and earth communications, only to realize that it is difficult to achieve it, which requires a huge measurement and control network and the support of countless communications equipment. Of course, Xia Ruofei and the others are still in low-Earth orbit. In theory, they can even listen to the content they want to publish on the ground through ordinary radio. However, as the spacecraft enters the earth-moon transfer orbit, or even enters the moon, the signal will be It's very weak, and it's only listening, and it can't realize the conversation between the two parties, so it doesn't make much sense.

What's more, this one-way release can theoretically be heard by everyone in the effective area, provided that they know the frequency band of the communication, so there is no confidentiality at all, and it may even be monitored by some enthusiasts. It caused an uproar—At this stage, China has no manned space missions, and the voice of China people suddenly came from space, which was really scary.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei gave up decisively after understanding the difficulty of calling between heaven and earth.

In this way, Song Wei has no need to stay in the capital.

After learning that Xia Ruofei and the others would lose contact with the ground during their trip to the moon, Song Wei was still more worried, because Xia Ruofei told her that she would keep in touch with her, but after listening to Xia Ruofei’s explanation, Song Wei also said Understand, after all, Xia Ruofei couldn't increase so much workload specifically for this matter.

What's more, even if Xia Ruofei wanted to work hard, it was basically impossible.

The Chinese astronauts’ communication with the ground in the Tiangong experimental cabin was the result of the joint efforts of countless measurement and control stations, including the measurement and control ship that has been sailing on the ocean. Even if Xia Ruofei has the ability to reach the sky, it can’t be short. Build such a measurement and control network within time.

Of course, the astronaut’s world-to-earth communication is very high-quality, not only with sound, but also with images, and the sound and picture synchronization is also very good. Not only that, the astronauts in the Tiangong experimental cabin can also simultaneously see the images uploaded on the ground and hear the sounds on the ground. This is a real world call, and it is a world video call.

Through this time of getting along, Chen Nanfeng and others have a better understanding of Xia Ruofei, and the faint mutual alert mentality that was at the beginning has also been reduced a lot.

So Xia Ruofei and Song Wei went out alone, and Chen Nanfeng and others did not interfere, nor did they propose to send someone to follow.

Of course, Chen Nanfeng and the others are not worried that Xia Ruofei will take this opportunity to drive the Obsidian Flying Boat to the moon alone, because on the one hand, Xia Ruofei has a large number of industries in the secular world, and in the cultivation world, he has a close relationship with him. Zong, if Xia Ruofei really dares to treachery, then Chen Nanfeng and others will inevitably use thunder to deal with the Star Picking Sect. On the other hand, Xia Ruofei handed over all the extravehicular spacesuits and oxygen supply modules to Chen Xuan and Mu to avoid suspicion. Jianfei and others kept it. He only left the Dragon spacecraft. Without the spacesuit and oxygen supply module, he naturally couldn't go directly to the moon.

In this way, Xia Ruofei took Song Wei and rode the Obsidian Flying Boat for several circles in the Pacific Ocean. After confirming that no one was following, he turned around and headed straight for Taoyuan Island.

In fact, at the speed of the Obsidian Flying Boat, at least a few circles, even if someone is tracking it, he will inevitably lose his way, because with the current strength of the cultivators' flying swords, they can't keep up with the speed of the Obsidian Flying Boat, even Chen Nanfeng Can't do it.

Unless there is an invisible master of the Nascent Soul, this probability is very low.

After bringing Song Wei to Taoyuan Island, Xia Ruofei instructed Luo Qingfeng and Zheng Yongshou who guarded Taoyuan Island to take care of Song Wei. At the same time, they should always be vigilant to ensure the safety of Taoyuan Island. Then he left some for Song Wei. Cultivating resources, he hurriedly drove the Obsidian Flying Boat away from Taoyuan Island, and didn't even have time to gather with the veterans of the guard.

After returning to the capital, Xia Ruofei continued to familiarize himself with the spacecraft operation manual and other materials in the courtyard with the cultivators of the three sects until he received a call from Li Yifu.

Li Yifu told him on the phone that Elon Musk had already produced the remaining extravehicular spacesuits and oxygen supply modules and delivered them in full.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei immediately told Chen Nanfeng and others the news, and everyone was very excited.

After preparing for so long, the materials and equipment needed for this expedition are finally ready.

We decided to go to the United States overnight to retrieve the space suit and oxygen supply module.

This time, even Chen Nanfeng and others went together, and everyone left the Liuhai Hutong courtyard.

Xia Ruofei gave orders to Wu Qiang. After all, if all goes well, he will soon follow the expedition to the moon, and may not return to the courtyard for a long time.

In addition, Xia Ruofei also considered so many people that he couldn't just disappear out of thin air. After all, the front and back gates of the courtyard were guarded.

Therefore, after instructing Wu Qiang, Xia Ruofei took the practitioners and left directly from the front door of the courtyard.

However, they did not go far. The Hutong at night was still very secluded. After they turned a corner, Xia Ruofei directly took out the Obsidian Flying Boat. Everyone quickly jumped on the Obsidian Flying Boat. Soon the Obsidian Flying Boat rose quickly, like a single one. The meteor dashed across the night sky of the capital and flew quickly towards the other side of the ocean.
