Chapter 1777 Everything Is Ready

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

Chen Xuan and the others also stood on the deck of the black obsidian airship, waving to the people below.

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

It is definitely impossible to say that they are not worried. Although they went up in the Obsidian spaceship last time, it was far from reaching the height of the 400-kilometer orbit, and because there were no extravehicular spacesuits at that time, they did not stay there. long time.

The verification flight this time 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 personnel.

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

Xia Ruofei and others jumped off the black yao flying boat. Chen Nanfeng went up to meet him and asked, "Fellow Daoist 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 the spacecraft, which is similar to what we expected, supporting us to make a round trip The moon should be fine!"

Seeing that Elder Yangliu of Feihua Valley and her beloved disciple Yu Xiner were unscathed, Liu Mansha felt relieved. After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, she asked: "Fellow Daoist Xia, it takes at least a month or two to go back and forth to the moon! The durability of that spaceship..."

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I asked that American. The dragon spacecraft is designed to operate in orbit for at least one year, so it can operate in a space environment for a long time. You can rest assured about this. The level of science and technology can be reached long ago. The Mir space station has been in service for 15 years, and its construction began in 1976. Human technology has reached this level as early as decades ago, and it is now in orbit The operating International Space Station 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 a few months, unless it encounters force majeure factors such as meteorite impacts. , causing serious damage."

Chen Xuan also smiled and said: "Meteorite impact is a small probability event. I am worried about space junk... But space junk is mainly distributed in low-earth orbit. After it is far away from the earth, space junk will hardly exist, and Everyone's mental strength is not a display, if you really encounter the risk of collision, you can definitely detect it in advance and avoid it!"

Chen Nanfeng said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then we can rest assured!"

Liu Mansha also nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Xia has already considered these factors, but we don't need to worry about it!"

Xia Ruofei laughed,

Said: "There are too many unknown situations in space, it is necessary to plan ahead, and unexpected situations can never be completely avoided, we still have to rely on adaptability, so we do our best to prepare, as for the risk... …why would we form this expedition if we were afraid of the risks!"

Xia Ruofei's words were very suitable for Mu Sheng's appetite. He laughed heartily a few times, and said: "Cultivation is to fight against the sky. Practitioners pursue longevity, which itself conflicts with the rules of heaven! The risk is great, and the opportunity is naturally great. Brother Xia, to be honest, I am very envious of you! If I can pass the screening, even if this old bone is buried on the moon, I must go! Hahaha!"

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

Then, taking advantage of the situation, he turned his attention to Mu Jianfei and the others, and said, "Elder Mu, Elder Shen, Brother Jianfei, Miss Yurou, please board the boat! Let's start the second verification flight immediately!"

The four of Mu Hua smiled and nodded, they felt a lot more relaxed at the moment, after all, the first batch of Chen Xuan and the others had already passed by.

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

"Thank you!" Chen Nanfeng smiled and nodded.

Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha also nodded to Xia Ruofei, and Mu Sheng looked up at Mu Hua and Mu Jianfei who were standing on the side of the Obsidian spaceship, and said loudly: "Be careful when you go up, and listen to little brother Xia. arrangements, do not act without authorization!"

"Yes!" Mu Hua and Mu Jianfei quickly answered with a bow.

Xia Ruofei bowed his hands to everyone, and then flew onto the flying boat.

The next process was the same as before. Xia Ruofei drove the spaceship to an altitude of 5,000 meters, asked everyone to change into extravehicular spacesuits, and then went straight to the 400-kilometer orbit.

In orbit, Xia Ruofei released the dragon spacecraft, connected it with the obsidian spacecraft, and then took everyone into the interior of the spacecraft.

The difference from last time is that this time Xia Ruofei does not need to adjust the shielding barrier range of the Obsidian spaceship, but only needs to activate the shielding formation on the spaceship.

At the same time, he does not need to open the solar panels, because the panels are always open.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei just remotely turned on the main power switch of the dragon spacecraft with mental power, and after decompressing the cabin that entered the cabin, he opened the hatch and got into the spacecraft first.

The stay time in orbit this time is similar to the last time. Xia Ruofei asked everyone to practice the basic control of the spaceship several times on the spot, and took everyone to familiarize themselves with the various cabins of the spaceship. After rehearsing the process of entering and exiting the cabin, he He took everyone out of the spacecraft and returned to the ground.

Chen Nanfeng and the others also specially drove the flying sword to the side of the black obsidian flying boat, and carefully inspected the flying boat.

The final result also reassured Chen Nanfeng and the others—the Obsidian airship went through two verification flights without any damage at all, which fully shows that the material of the Obsidian airship is strong enough to cope with the harsh environment in space.

As for the dragon spacecraft, after Xia Ruofei's explanation, everyone is no longer worried about whether it can operate in space for a long time.

...

In the next few days, everyone spent patiently waiting.

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

Practitioners have a very strong learning ability. With these few practical exercises and the continuous study of the operation manual, basically everyone has mastered the basic operations of the spacecraft and the use of space suits outside the cabin. Some precautions for living in space are also familiar.

This knowledge is likely to be used in the actual process of going to the moon, and it may even save your own life, so everyone is very serious about learning.

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 temporarily.

This mission to the moon will take at least one or two months. Both Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue have entered the expedition list, but Song Wei can only stay on the earth because she did not pass the selection of music.

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

After all, Jindan seniors like Chen Nanfeng, Mu Sheng, and Liu Mansha also stayed on Earth.

It is still unknown what kind of opportunities there will be during the expedition. Xia Ruofei has to consider whether the forces that are still in the honeymoon period of cooperation will turn their faces if the interests are large enough. These possibilities exist. , and Song Wei will become Xia Ruofei's weakest link at that time, so he must arrange Song Wei in advance.

Taoyuan Island is undoubtedly the most secretive and safest place.

Originally, Xia Ruofei also 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 consulted Elon Musk specifically on the issue of space-to-earth communication, only to realize that it is difficult to achieve it, which requires the support of a huge measurement and control network and countless communication devices. Of course, when Xia Ruofei and the others were still in low-earth orbit, theoretically the ground could even listen to the content they wanted to publish through ordinary radios, but as the spacecraft entered the earth-moon transfer orbit, or even entered the moon, the signal would be lost. It's very weak, and it can only be listened to, and it can't realize the conversation between the two parties, so it doesn't make much sense.

What's more, this kind of 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 blocked by some enthusiasts who listen to it. It caused an uproar—at this stage, Huaxia has no manned space missions in progress, and the voice of the Huaxia people suddenly came from space, which is really scary.

Therefore, after Xia Ruofei understood the difficulty of talking between heaven and earth, he gave up decisively.

In this way, there is no need for Song Wei to stay in the capital.

After learning that Xia Ruofei and the others will completely lose contact with the ground during their trip to the moon, Song Wei is still quite worried, because Xia Ruofei told her before that she will keep in touch with her, but after listening to Xia Ruofei's explanation, Song Wei also expressed that I understand, after all, it is impossible for Xia Ruofei to increase so much workload just for this matter.

What's more, even if Xia Ruofei wants to work hard to complete it, it is basically impossible to do it.

The communication between the Chinese astronauts and the ground in the Tiangong experimental cabin is the result of the joint efforts of countless measurement and control stations, including the measurement and control ships that have been sailing on the ocean. Build such a measurement and control network within a short period of time.

Of course, the astronauts' space-to-earth calls are of very high quality, not only with sound, but also with images, and the synchronization of sound and picture is also very good. Not only that, but the astronauts in the Tiangong experimental cabin can also simultaneously see the images uploaded from the ground and hear the voices from the ground.

Through this period of getting along, Chen Nanfeng and the others got to know Xia Ruofei better, and the faint mutual guard against each other at the beginning also eased a lot.

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

Of course, Chen Nanfeng and the others are not worried that Xia Ruofei will take this opportunity to directly drive the black obsidian flying boat to the moon alone, because on the one hand, Xia Ruofei has a lot of business in the secular world, and has a close relationship with him in the cultivation world. Zong, if Xia Ruofei really dared to break his promise, then Chen Nanfeng and the others would definitely use thunderous means to deal with Zong Xing Zong; Jianfei and others kept it, but 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 circled the Pacific Ocean a few times in the black obsidian flying boat. After confirming that no one was following her, she turned around and went straight to Taoyuan Island.

In fact, at the speed of the Black Obsidian Flying Boat, at least a few circles, even if someone follows them, they will definitely lose their way, because with the strength of the current practitioners flying with swords, they can't keep up with the speed of the Black Obsidian Flying Boat. Even Chen Nanfeng Can't do it either.

Unless there is a hidden Nascent Soul master, the probability of this is very low.

After bringing Song Wei to Taoyuan Island, Xia Ruofei told Luo Qingfeng and Zheng Yongshou who were guarding Taoyuan Island to take good care of Song Wei, and at the same time be alert at all times to ensure the safety of Taoyuan Island. Cultivating resources, he hurriedly left Taoyuan Island in the black obsidian airship, 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 spaceship operation manual and other materials with the practitioners of the three sects in the courtyard 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 the news to Chen Nanfeng and others, and everyone was very excited.

After preparing for such a long time, the final supplies and equipment needed for this expedition are finally ready.

Everyone decided to go to the United States overnight to retrieve the spacesuit and oxygen supply module.

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

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

In addition, Xia Ruofei also considered that there were so many people, so 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.

But they didn't go far, the alley was still very quiet at night, after they turned a corner, Xia Ruofei directly took out the obsidian airship, everyone quickly jumped on the airship, and soon the obsidian airship rose rapidly, like a star The meteor streaked across the night sky of the capital and flew towards the other side of the ocean.
