Chapter 593: The Successful Docking and the Second Phase of the International Space Cooperation Project

Lingxiao space station.

This is Huaxia's first space station permanently stationed in space. The first Lingxiao core module was launched in 20 years. After the International Space Station was retired in 22 years, Lingxiao has been formed and has become the only space station in orbit. Finish.

The core module of the Russian Mir also chose to connect to the Lingxiao after the decommissioning of the International Space Station.

Lingxiao is independently manufactured by Huaxia. Its volume and space are smaller than that of the International Space Station. For the time being, it can only accommodate 3 astronauts for permanent experimental research.

After a period of time, the three astronauts will be replaced and returned to the ground, allowing new astronauts to settle in for research.

Among the astronauts currently stationed in the space station, there are two Chinese astronauts, one is a Russian astronaut, and a special intelligent robot is also stationed in the space station.

In the core cabin of Lingxiao, the space of 16 cubic meters is not too small. It can accommodate three astronauts, and the space is large enough.

At this time, the three of them were paying attention to the news coming from the ground.

The Goddess is about to send supplies and some experimental materials.

As customers of 'Express Delivery', they received news as early as a week ago when the Space Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences and the Army Ant Group reached a cooperation.

Today is the day Goddess lifts off, and the three astronauts are watching the live broadcast.

Fei Jun was standing in front of the screen, holding a grip in his hand.

In space, exercise is very necessary to prevent muscle degeneration and atrophy. When he usually has time, he will practice.

He is the first astronaut stationed in the space station and one of the meritorious astronauts who have gone to space many times. He is currently the highest commander in the space station.

At this time, Fei Jun was also a little nervous and had some expectations.

The Goddess is not an aircraft of the Aerospace Group, but an aircraft of Huaxia Enterprise. For him, this is also a manifestation of Huaxia's strength.

"The Goddess is expected to arrive in 20 minutes, and we are ready to meet the courier." Fei Jun looked at the data and time passed, and said.

"This plane looks so cool," Rowski said in Chinese with an accent.

Rowski is the Russian astronaut who came in,

He once lived on the now-retired International Space Station and is the most experienced veteran astronaut in space activities among the three of them.

Because Lingxiao is China's space station, all the button signs on the space station are in Chinese.

In order to better communicate and experiment, mastering Chinese is one of the most basic conditions for entering Lingxiao. All daily communication here is in Chinese.

"It's really cool. After docking, we can go in and have a look. The ground says that the plane is full of intelligent robot pilots."

Liu Yanyun also had some expectations.

She is the only female astronaut among the three astronauts.

Although it is sometimes inconvenient for women to stay in space, she still perseveres and shows resilience that is not inferior to the two male astronauts.

"I can't wait, Xiao Wa is not that good," Rowski said.

Xiao Wa is a robot stationed in space. It is transformed by the intelligent robot of the Army Ant Group and written into the intelligent core of Xia Wa, which has been successfully researched by the Academy of Sciences. It is stationed in the space station, and sometimes replaces astronauts to complete some more dangerous missions.

"Start preparing."

Fei Jun put down the power grip in his hand, used his arm to borrow a little strength, and floated towards the hatch of the core cabin.

20 minutes passed quickly.

When the Goddess approached the space station, its speed had been adjusted to be almost the same as that of the space station, and the docking port in front of the abdomen was also exposed, and it was slowly approaching the docking port of the space station.

"Preparing to dock...300cm...preparing to dock...280cm..." The artificial intelligence on the Goddess repeated the current state over and over again.

The identification of the interface has appeared on the screen, and is constantly adjusted according to the slight deviation.

In the command center, everyone was inexplicably nervous, and their hands were clenched unconsciously.

This is the most critical step.

As long as the docking is successful, this supply mission will be a perfect success.

"Docking...100cm...docking...50cm..."

As the data sent back got closer, the hall became quieter and quieter, and the atmosphere didn't dare to breathe, for fear that it would 'blow' the target on the screen.

Even Chen Mo, who has always been calm, felt the tension in the air and stared at the screen.

Huaxing's palms are sweating. This kind of thing, if the heart is not good, you must prepare a heart-saving pill. If the failure causes huge losses, the consequences will be very terrifying.

"Docking...30cm...docking...10cm..."

On the screen, the moment the two docking ports closed, everyone's heart beat fiercely, their breath stagnated, and the whole person lifted up.

"The connection is successful."

Four words, like the sounds of nature.

The tense atmosphere exploded in an instant, the first applause sounded, and the entire hall was filled with thunderous applause, cheers and laughter instantly filled every corner.

Chen Mo also secretly let out a sigh of relief.

If there is a problem with this failure, his responsibility will be great, but fortunately it was completed successfully.

Inside the space station, Fei Jun heard the successful docking reported by the intelligent system, which made him put down his hanging heart and showed a relaxed smile.

"Success."

"I can't wait."

Rofsky cried out excitedly, waiting for the docking hatch to open, Yang Yanyun stood behind Rofsky and waited quietly. From her eyes, she could see great anticipation.

"The air pressure in the docking cabin has returned to normal, and the cabin can be opened."

After being prompted, Fei Jun opened the door leading to the docking compartment, and the door of the docking compartment of the aerospace plane also opened instantly.

"You go over, I'll contact the ground first." Fei Jun finished speaking and floated back toward the core cabin. Although he also wanted to go in quickly to see the situation of the Goddess, as the leader here, his work could not be left behind.

"Hello, I'm the 'Rat', the driving robot of Goddess 1. Welcome to Goddess, Mr. Astronaut, Ms. Astronaut."

"Hello, I'm the Goddess No. 2 driving robot 'Cow', welcome to come."

Just after entering the space plane, in the space plane, two intelligent robots 'stand' on the bulkhead of the Goddess. From their point of view, it looks like robots are hanging upside down.

"My God, it's so beautiful, this robot can stand, there should be electromagnets under its feet, wait for me to turn over first, Mr. Rat."

Seeing the situation in the cabin of the Goddess, Rowski exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hello, Mr. Robot Mouse, Mr. Niu." Liu Yanyun also turned over and greeted the two robots.

The Goddess and Lingxiao successfully docked.

This news was spread all over the world by CCTV, and the space research circle seemed to be shaken by a big earthquake.

The entire China was in jubilation.

All the employees of the Army Ant Group are also happy. The Goddess has completed the task perfectly. Next, they will create infinite possibilities.

Various media reports have made the news hotter to its peak.

The most powerful group company has finally stretched out its poisonous hand into space, and the imagination of the future is infinite.

Not long after, the official websites of the Army Ant Group and the Flying Ant Aerospace Company announced another news that after the Goddess completed the supply mission, it started the satellite orbit mission and brought nine satellites, all of which successfully entered the predetermined orbit.

The news pushed the popularity of the Flying Goddess of the Army Ant Group to its climax.

When the limelight was booming, a piece of news was announced, attracting global attention.

NASA publicly announced that it will join the European Space Agency, the island nation's space research and development agency, the Canadian Space Agency, the Indian Space Agency and the Brazilian Space Agency to form a new international space research agency.

The second phase of the space station cooperative research project was launched. There are 18 countries participating in the plan.

The second phase of the core module of the International Space Station, 'Zeus', will be launched into space with the returnable heavy-duty launch vehicle 'Falcon 10' in ten days, and other experimental modules will also be launched into space within a month. Form a new space station.

However, the news released by NASA is just the beginning.

NASA just drew a wave, and another big news came from the Pentagon, triggering an even bigger tsunami.
