Chapter 1300: Pendulum into orbit

In a dark darkness.
漆 A dark sky plane slowly sailed from the edge of the star screen. The silent radio echoed in the vast deep air, communicating with the ground command center tens of millions of kilometers away with a delay of hundreds of seconds.
"Here is the courier, and we are close to the New World."
"Close to the past."
"Roger that."
Weixiaguang is a ship model.
As for the "messenger", it is the code name of this aerospace plane in this operation.
Since the aerospace industry has gone from elite to large-scale, not to mention the early model Xiangrui, which has been gradually discontinued. Xiaguang, which now sails in outer space, has maintained more than five ships, and the Qiaoqiao has more.
If you continue to use the ship model to refer to it, it is easy to get confused, so it has been changed to the code now.
Xu Zhenghong, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, reached out and pulled the joystick on the right hand side, and pressed the button to lock the track.
With the assistance of the automatic navigation device, the co-pilot Liu Biao carefully monitored the speed and distance parameters, and cooperated with Xu Zhenghong to drive the Xiaguang towards Mars to transfer the orbit to the intersection of MOI3 orbit.
"Open the high-gain directional antenna, and the laser calibration device."
"Roger that."
The most critical moment is here.
The chance is only once. Only when the three main parameters of speed, cut-in angle, and distance are met can you successfully enter the orbit.
如果 And if they missed it, they would have to orbit Mars for one more week or at least half a week to correct the orbit.
One minute is as long as a century.
Finally, at the moment when the four words [Succeeded in Orbital] appeared on the screen, Xu Zhenghong and Liu Biao, who were straining their nerves, let out a sigh of relief.
"Here is the courier, and we have cut into the moi3 orbit."
"This is the ground command center, we have received your news. From now on, ground navigation is over, and the rest is up to you."
"Received, good luck to us."
The answer is over.
Relative to the communication delay of hundreds of seconds, it is an unrealistic thing to guide the Xiaguang through the ground command center to complete the remaining complicated orbital switch.
The next voyage can only depend on themselves.
However, although there was no navigation on the ground command center, Xu Zhenghong and Liu Biao sitting in the cockpit were relieved.
Unless there is a collision with a meteorite or other accidents, they basically require very few manual operations.
It can even be said that if all goes well, they only need to press the button to open the hatch after reaching the predetermined track, and throw the Z particle clock in the cargo compartment like an egg, and the mission of this voyage is completed.
"What to drink?"
"No."
"I'll have to order it myself, then," grinning, and Liu Biao unlocked the lock of the life insurance device, left the co-pilot's seat, floated to the freezer in the living area, and took out the refrigerated coffee from the inside.
In fact, he prefers to drink beer, but now he is still on the task, so naturally it is impossible to drink that stuff.
回到 Returned to the cockpit with a bag full of coffee, Liu Biao who re-fixed himself on the seat, fixed the bag containing cold brewed coffee to the chest of the space suit, and then took out the straw to the mouth.
In a gravity-free environment, whether it is a beverage or something, the taste of all liquid food will change wonderfully. The flowing liquid became jelly-like, and it felt strange to drink.
But the good thing is that taste.
Looking at the burning planet outside the cockpit, Liu Biao, squinting his eyes, took a straw and stared at the beautiful view for a long time, then said with emotion.
"It's just so beautiful."
Xu Zhenghong, who was quietly waiting in the main driver's seat, nodded his head in agreement.
"Yes."
After the exchange of two sentences, the two fell into a silent silence, completely immersed in the beautiful scenery that they had no time to admire.
No matter how many times I saw it, the waves would not be tired, and every time I saw it, I was fascinated.
It is difficult to describe this feeling in detail.
just like……
The new world is just the same.
About an hour or two passed, Liu glanced at the orbital data on the cockpit instrument. Liu Biao estimated that the time was about the same, reached out and opened the optical sensor for deep space navigation, aimed at the center of Mars's center, and pointed on the map The scale data has been corrected twice.
After the next orbit change, they will enter the lowest orbit.
With luck, they should be able to see the return capsule of the BFS spacecraft there.
"Sooner or later we will widen our borders here."
"I don't know if I can live, I can see it that day."
"It doesn't matter if you don't see it, someone will see for us ... ready to work."
"Roger that."
Almost at the same time as the voice dropped, the spacecraft had successfully cut into the lowest surrounding orbit after the last deceleration.
Listening quietly to the countdown to the ear, watching the virtual beacon getting closer and closer to the helmet eyepiece, Liu Biao sitting in the co-pilot seat pushed the insurance on the joystick with his thumb and put his thumb on On green button.
The moment the countdown is completed.
His thumb was pressed almost reflectively.
With the sound of a slight electric current, a metal ball framed by two black rings was dropped from the back of the cargo hold. It's like a thumbtack pinned to a blackboard, biting it firmly in the orbit of Mars.
Confirmed the orbital parameters of the Z particle clock that was thrown behind him from the laser calibrator. Xu Zhenghong switched the communication channel to the ground command center and said with a calm voice.
"The parcel was successfully put into orbit, the first phase of the task is completed!"
It takes about four minutes to respond. During this time, their mission is to maintain the current flight orbit and wait quietly for the next instructions.
The task in the hands of Xun finally came to an end. Xu Zhenghong's expression finally relaxed a little, unlocked the lock of the life insurance system in the cabin, and moved his sore shoulders.
I sat next to him, and Liu Biao watched the black dot disappearing from the stern camera and disappeared, and suddenly said with a smile.
"... It's like putting a ring on the bride."
He grinned, and Xu Zhenghong said with a smile.
"It's pretty romantic to say so ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I always think that aerospace itself is a romantic thing ... Speaking of it, what about the rest of the work?"
"Waiting for news from the ground command center, no accidentally returned to the moi3 orbit, and then waiting there quietly." Looking at the metal ball that had disappeared far away, Xu Zhenghong narrowed his eyes. "Wait until the experiment is over, Check the state of the Z particle clock. "
"And then we can go home."
At this time, a far cry "received" came from the communication channel of the ground command center.
的 The two people sitting in the cockpit invigorated their spirits.
At the same time, the space ground command center is tens of millions of kilometers away.
He stood on the ground boat in the command room, slowly raised his left hand, and glanced at the silver watch worn there.
Time is exactly at the hour.
He estimates that the preparation work is almost finished, Lu Zhou raised his head, his eyes crossed the moving head in the ground command center, and landed on the large two-person landing screen.
In a voice that everyone can hear, he said.
"It's our turn."
