Chapter 570: : Joint Expedition】

At the same time, when the "Mars Express" started to return to Earth, the "Firefly" space station did not stop, and the five astronauts began to leave the station and walk in space for space operations.
Next, they will let the "Firefly" space station officially begin to operate in the high-altitude orbit of Mars, and the "Firefly" space station is about to transform from a "bachelor."
I saw an astronaut hovering in the space station’s No. 2 experiment module, and the flat B230 inflatable space capsule in front of him began to bulge slowly. A large amount of nitrogen and oxygen are equal to the atmosphere of the earth. The air is merging into the inflatable space capsule, and the air pressure inside the capsule is steadily rising until it is consistent with the earth’s atmosphere. The internal space volume of the Firefly space station is officially increased by 230 cubic meters.
After the B230 inflatable space capsule was safely opened and operated, the astronauts beside him moved a few times on the small display panel on the back of the wrist, and saw that the truss on the main capsule of the space station began to change. .(quled).om moves, the two truss limbs move with the pulleys, rotate and change their angles, and finally the B230 is fixed and a docking interface is assembled on its tail.
At this time, the astronauts saw a bulging inflatable space capsule with the B330 mark on the outside, indicating that this independent inflatable space capsule has a space capacity of 330 cubic meters.
Next, the slowly floating B330 will complete the manual rendezvous and docking with the B230.
After the astronaut took over the control authority of the B330, he was hovering around him. A mini version of the control handle appeared in his hand. It was small but extremely complicated. There was also an 11-inch screen in the middle, showing that there was a gap between B330 and B230. The spatial distribution of green grid-like graphics, on both sides is a large amount of live data changing.
The focused astronaut, his eyes are frequently exchanged between the space capsule and the 11-inch screen. The surface of the B330 inflatable space capsule spews gas from time to time, flying slowly, getting brighter and getting closer to the docking port of the B230.
Finally, in 18 minutes, the docking of the two space capsules was completed, and the astronaut in charge finally took a long breath after seeing the successful completion, and hung the small control handles one by one on the components on the thighs to fix them, and at the same time reported that the No. 2 experiment cabin was normal run. "
Looking around, the entire "Firefly" space station continued to work in outer space with five astronauts. With the cooperation of the internal crew, the "Firefly" was completed in six and a half hours to break through the cocoon. Six solar panels with a length of 100 meters The solar panels are extremely shocking. In addition to being able to absorb some solar energy, the biggest role of these panels is to conceal the fact that the core energy of the space station is provided by the high energy storage purple source crystal brought from the earth.
Otherwise, such a large space station would be too incredible.
A few more hours later, the "Firefly" space station established communication with the US "Noah" for the first time. Trapped in a lonely world of hundreds of millions of kilometers, the original hope of life was so small that Duncan Jones was once abandoned. The moment I heard the voice of the same kind, I could no longer suppress the excitement in my heart. Although his counterpart was Chinese, it didn't matter here at this moment.
After completing the establishment of the communication connection, Duncan Jones transferred the control authority of the "Noah" to the "Firefly" space station according to the instructions. This was approved by the Houston Space Center. For the docking of the "Firefly" space station, the instructions must be consistent.
Fortunately, although the two man-made celestial bodies come from different countries, they have one thing in common, that is, they both have products from Bigelow Aerospace, which means that they can be matched early.
At the same time, the "Mars Express" is on its way back. Three months later, it reached the Earth's high-altitude orbit as scheduled. The spacecraft was placed at the berth of the "Tiangong Ring Star Harbor" and on the "Mars Express". In the three months since the return, CMSX and NASA on the earth are also preparing quickly.
The spacecraft entered the berthing port of the "Tiangong Ring Star Harbor" and began to supply materials, especially energy supply. A round-trip journey consumes a lot of energy, but energy supply is not very difficult. The amethyst spar block full of energy is early It was ready. After the spacecraft entered the berth, it began to infuse energy into the internal energy storage warehouse so that the purple source crystals inside could get energy supplements.
With the announcement of the "Mars Express"'s safe return to Earth, the global perspective has gradually shifted from nuclear fusion energy to space exploration. This time the cooperation between the two largest space powers in the world is also attracting attention.
Since CMSX and NASA reached a formal cooperation agreement, three months with the help of matrix technology, NASA can finally send the "Noah 2" to space ahead of time. At that time, the Americans will carry a large number of supplies of the "Noah 2" "Will complete the docking with the "Mars Express" and use this vehicle to reach Mars.
In October, the highly anticipated moment came again.
NASA’s special plane arrived at Hainan International Airport with a team consisting of an armed tactical team, astronauts, and scientific research personnel. There were a total of 12 people in a 6-person armed tactical team, 4 astronauts and 2 scientific researchers.
These people formally arrived at the headquarters of the CMSX space base under the leadership of Charles Bol, the head of NASA.
After a day’s rest, a small armed squad sent by NASA was secretly dispatched to other areas. The cooperation between the two parties was semi-public to the outside world. Only the two parties knew about the dispatch of the armed squad to Mars. Top secret.
Both sides have their own armed teams, and their mission is very clear, that is, to undertake the defense mission of the Martian outpost base, and the main enemy is the native Martian creatures.
On the third day, Matrix Technology and NASA held a press conference again. In addition to the official representatives of the two parties, astronauts from the two countries also attended. NASA attended 6 and CMSX attended 3, totaling 9 An astronaut attended the meeting.
Of course, these are all publicly announced astronauts or scientific researchers. The armed tactical teams on both sides were sent into space yesterday through the "Arc Eagle 9". The personnel who sent the armed teams to Mars must not appear in public view. , If the armed forces are sent to Mars, they will not be blown up by the outside world. NASA has more astronauts than CMSX because the other party wants to supplement the people lost on Mars.
A group photo of 20 people quickly made the headlines of major media and newspapers. 9 aerospace personnel were at the forefront, and the rest were official representatives of CMSX and NASA. Liu Yuliang and Charles Bor were also impressive. In the column, the background of the photo is the flag representing the two countries. It is worth mentioning that Ren Hong did not attend the meeting this time.
After the routine reception is over, these astronauts will also board the ship and leave the earth.
The next day, in the attic area outside the runway of the CMSX space base, a large number of reporters set up cameras here at dawn. The Arc Eagle 9 was already parked on the runway. For the media, this was the first time that CMSX allowed They photographed the runway field of the arc tower at close range.
The Martian rescue has attracted worldwide attention.
Today is the day of the joint expedition. Naturally, global attention is greeted. Major media and newspapers are conducting live reports, and Google satellites in outer space are also ready.
At 7:37, the appearance of a team of people immediately caused countless cameras to lock them. It was surprisingly the figure of 9 astronauts. They appeared on the runway and waved to the camera. When the camera was locked, "Arc Eagle" The cabin door of No. 9 opened slowly, and the staff immediately pushed the ladder frame. With the focus of global vision, nine astronauts boarded the ship one after another.
At 8:21, the staff on the runway field evacuated successively.
"Hello, I am a paleontologist, Eslin Youton, I am glad to meet you."
"Hello, Liu Peng."
"Liu, are you going to Mars too?"
"Yes."
"Wow, to be honest, I'm a fan of you. I guess many people are wailing, and the space anchor will quit."
"My name is Fitch Franklin."
"Jing Tian."
In the cabin, the two parties introduced each other and started chatting, and they had to get along with each other for at least more than 100 days. Although the arrays are different, after all, it is the period of cooperation at this moment. This time, Jing Tian and Aislin are also prepared. Attention, because their first female astronaut representatives to land on Mars are destined to be recorded in history.
"Attention to all units, the spacecraft is about to start..." The voice announcer in the cabin rang in English instead of Chinese. No way, a few foreigners don't know much Chinese, but all Chinese astronauts understand English.
Everyone began to check the seat belts to confirm all safety issues. An astronaut said with a little excitement that he felt completely different. It felt like an Airbus plane, haha. "
This is true for this group of old Americans. The "Arc Eagle 9" is designed entirely for carrying people. The maximum load capacity can take 29 people into space at the same time. It is different from the car fixed on the rocket. The cabin of "Eagle Nine" is completely like flying on an Airbus plane, and the comfort level is naturally not comparable to that of a spacecraft on a rocket.
The first experience of the old beauty of China's aerospace transport aircraft is very curious and excited about the next business, and everything is the first experience for them.
"...2...1 Ignite..."
When the nine astronauts in the cabin were moving forward at high speed, the high acceleration made everyone's backs stick to the seats.
"Still the familiar feeling, uncomfortable!"
Outside the runway, countless cameras locked on the "Arc Eagle Nine", which was advancing at high speed on an arc-shaped orbit. In less than 10 seconds, the spacecraft separated from the launch tower, and finally soared towards the sky.
The heat wave on the runway impressed these reporters. The camera photographed the orbital area that the spacecraft passed by. The air in the scene in the picture was full of clear ripples, which shows how frightening the temperature on the runway is at this moment.
After the spacecraft left the runway, the staff wearing special insulation protective clothing immediately swarmed into the runway to begin manual cooling and maintenance~EbookFREE.me~ The reporter also wanted to stay longer to obtain more information, such as those of the staff Special clothing, maintenance of first-hand information such as the runway field, but the master has already gone to heaven, and the security personnel of the CMSX space base have begun to force the eviction of these reporters.
Earth high-altitude orbit.
"Oh, my god!!!"
"Although it is not the first time I have seen'Tiangong', the first time I saw her true face at such a close distance still shocked me, unbelievable, I am on the way to board the ship!!"
"You did this miracle?" Eslin looked back at the Chinese astronaut behind her and asked in surprise. At this moment, nine astronauts grabbed a white cable at the same time and were being towed to the Star Harbor boarding hatch. All of them appeared in outer space wearing spacesuits. Six Americans looked around curiously, and some were watching. Xinggang's huge centrifugal cabin, some are watching "Tianyan II", etc. The behemoth in front of you, this sky and sky fortress is currently the largest space station in human history-Tiangong ring orbit Xinggang.
The straightforward Eslin was chatting during the spacewalk, unabashedly expressing envy, and various exclamations emerged one after another. It can be seen that this is from the heart, without any fraud. Several Chinese astronauts heard her various words of admiration, and inexplicably expressed joy and pride in their hearts.
Tiangong Ring Star Harbor 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 am afraid that any citizen will be proud of it.
