Chapter 801: Welcome home!

Just as the Moon Orbiting Construction Committee was intensively preparing to advance the construction site from the lunar orbit to the moon's surface, it had been a month since Xiaguang left Mars' orbit and set off on the way home.
With the completion of the last section of the orbital change, Xiaguang, with a small amount of working fluid, has closed the electric push system and continued to move towards the Earth-Moon system in accordance with inertia.
For Tai Wei, after a month of getting along, he has basically adapted to life here.
There are clean bedding, plenty of oxygen, and warm and delicious food.
For him, who spent more than a month squatting in the enclosed experimental space of the New Virginia Colony without any private space, everything here is simply heaven.
In particular, the Chinese people play more bathing than NASA. The entire bathroom is a one-person, two-step wide cylinder that simulates the gravity environment on the earth by centrifugal acceleration provided by high-speed rotation around a fixed axis.
If the drawings are not combined, it will be difficult to describe the entire structure and the principles in detail. But simply speaking about the experience, that is, after starting the device, lying inside is like lying in the bathtub of your own bathroom, and those water drops that should have been floating around are also
sticky
on the bulkhead. You can't fly everywhere.
Because there is no external reference object, stay in this completely closed bathroom. After scrubbing the body, the air outlet on the outside of the bulkhead will use strong wind to draw a drop of water in the cylinder, and wait until the humidity in the device drops to normal value. Then the cylinder will slow down and stop.
If you look at it like this, the gadget is almost like a large centrifuge.
Such an extravagant way of bathing is unthinkable for a BFS spacecraft.
Of course, this may not have something to do with electricity for the Chinese people. From the moment they set off to being rescued at the end, energy must be carefully calculated and used ...
If the only thing in the entire spaceship that made Taiwei dissatisfied is probably no freedom.
There was only a two-shoulder bed in the narrow room. There was no other furniture except a table under the bed. He can't even leave his room except bathing and eating time. In most cases, he can only pass the time by sleeping.
The slightly depressing atmosphere makes it impossible to feel a little comfortable. The round portholes on the top of the bed are dark. After a long look, it is easy to cause a symptom similar to the phobia of the deep sea, and that porthole He never opened it.
Compared to the luxurious hardware facilities on the Gold Heart spacecraft, as well as complete entertainment equipment, the cabin of the Xiaguang is like a cargo cabin modified by pulling cargo.
What do you say?
The experience is like being in jail.
Standing behind the isolation door, Tyvy put his hands on the edge of the door, and Johnson, looking at the opposite room, asked, "How long will we be on Earth?"
Johnson, who was sitting on the bed flipping a book, didn't look up, and replied casually.
"Maybe a month and a half, maybe two months ... or longer."
Seeing that the captain was not very interested in handling himself, Tai Wei shrugged. He originally wanted to close his mouth and lie back, but still couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that the Chinese people don't let us walk around?" Are they still afraid of us— "
"Because I'm not sure if you carry bacteria or viruses on Mars, we can't do a full inspection on your side."
Interrupting him from the side, Liu Biao, wearing the spacesuit in the cabin, came over carrying the lunch box.
Putting the lunch box on the dining table next to the door, he smiled and said, "The conditions are more difficult, and you have a little patience. After all, this cabin was originally modified from the cargo cabin, but only sailed within the Earth-Moon system. Never thought about flying so far. "
Looking at the Hua Guo astronaut who was about to leave after delivering the meal, Tai Wei shook his neck and shouted at his back, "Hey man, can you consider putting a game console in the cabin? Not everyone likes it Pass time by reading! "
Liu Biao smiled and said, "I will reflect your opinion to the ground support. If you have a chance, you should see a game machine next time."
"Next time? I don't want to sit a second time!"
Without paying any attention to the puppets behind him, Liu Biao disappeared into the doorway of the cabin.
Looking at the locked cabin door and the countdown to unlocking the guest room door, Taiwei muttered a voice everyone could hear: "It feels like you are in jail."
Johnson said expressionlessly: "That's how it is under the fence ... Anyway, they took us back. Let's be honest."
If you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.
At this moment, Taiwei suddenly remembered the sentence said by the Chinese astronaut, and realized a terrible detail.
Swallowing, he spoke in a quivering tone.
"Boss ..."
Johnson: "What's wrong ..."
Taiwei: "If there are microorganisms or bacteria on the planet that are not on Earth, does it mean that we ..."
"Don't think too much," turning the book in his hand, Johnson slipped his lips as if he had heard a joke that wasn't very funny, and said casually in a undulating tone, "too much thought It just makes you worry about yourself. Not to mention it is possible, not certain. "
Tyvy angrily hammered his fists on the heavy door panel
"Shet! The beasts of the White House, what do they think of us? Lab mice?"
On the other side of the room, Jones, listening to the conversation between the two, was sitting on the bed with his knees in his arms, staring out of the porthole quietly.
Since that time, she has been reflecting on her life, her choices, and her own plans for Ares.
At the beginning, she still couldn't figure it out, obviously everyone did the best, why the final result was still the same.
But now she finally understands that the final outcome of Ares's plan may not be an accident.
From the beginning, this hasty trip to Mars was an unwise decision ...
...
The day when I fell into the arms of the earth arrived a little earlier than expected.
About 50 days after Xiaguang's return from Mars' orbit, a gray planet and the blue sky behind it gradually appeared outside the porthole of Xiaguang.
"... Here is Xiaguang, which is entering the orbit of the space station and asking for navigation support."
"... Here is the Moon Palace and is navigating for you."
"Received, thanks."
After a brief communication response, the Xiaguang, which actively decelerated through the wing engine's reverse injection, slowly merged into the orbit of Yuegong.
With the passage of time, a silvery white light gradually rose in the deep and dark space, reflected in the icy porthole along with the morning glow from the skyline.
Looking at the approaching Moon Palace, Johnson sitting on the bedboard closed the book in his hand, and the blue pupil gradually enlarged.
"God ... this, is this the Chinese space station?"
The moment he saw him, he couldn't even believe it.
Because everything in front of him is far more shocking than the one he has seen in the concept map.
The spacecraft was approaching.
The distant space station was also approaching.
The silver-white size of the original rice grain eventually turned into a dragon with wings spread.
Thousands of squares of solar panels are like open dragon wings ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The scaly heat sinks are like upright dragon scales. A cylindrical space capsule extending outward from the center line constitutes its strong bones and unbreakable steel body.
It's like a fort.
And, an artwork ...
At the same time, sitting in the cockpit of Xiaguang, with a tired captain Xu Zhenghong on his face, a smile was finally raised at the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his right fist and Liu Biao sitting next to him bumped. Then the forefinger pressed against the side of the helmet and spoke with a clear voice.
"Here is Xiaguang, we have successfully entered the orbit, requesting docking!"
Wait just two seconds.
The answer sound came from the communication channel.
"... This is the Moon Palace."
"Welcome home, our heroes!"
