Chapter 1779 Target Moon
Chen Nanfeng and the others did not leave for a long time. Watching the black obsidian flying boat disappear from their field of vision, and then quickly flew out of the range covered by the mental power, the three of them still maintained their posture of looking up at the sky.
After a long time, Chen Nanfeng let out a long sigh, and said, "Two fellow Taoists, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for them to go!"
This time, Chen Nanfeng not only sent Shen Tianfang, an elder who is very important in the sect, but even his own son Chen Xuan also went with the team; Mu Sheng's Canglang sect also sent an elder, and Mu Sheng's son Mu Jianfei They were also in the expedition team; as for Liu Mansha's Flying Flower Valley, the elder Yang Liu and Liu Mansha's personal disciple Yu Xin'er were also sent, so the three of them were in the same mood at the moment.
Mu Sheng sighed: "Brother Chen, even though you know that this trip is very dangerous, if you choose again, you will definitely agree with nephew Chen Xian to go!"
Chen Nanfeng smiled wryly: "Yes! Now that you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you must be prepared to face all dangers and challenges. Flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand real wind and rain!"
Liu Mansha pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Two friends, why are you more sentimental than a woman like me? No other monk can ask for such an opportunity! To be honest, I am a little envious of them. I can pass the screening of that piece of music, and I will join it without hesitation!"
"That's true..." Chen Nanfeng said, "If a monk doesn't even have the courage to take risks, then his achievements in cultivation must be limited!"
"Haha! Brother Chen, Master Liu, they are all gone, let's stop worrying here!" Mu Sheng said with a smile, "Isn't there a saying? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings! Even if we regret it now, I can’t catch up with them anymore! So! Don’t think about anything, go back and wait patiently! I heard that you have a lot of good wine in your possession, as well as your famous wild tea, don’t search for it this time That’s it, let’s take it out and share it with everyone!”
Chen Nanfeng smiled and said, "No problem! Let's go! I asked my disciples to prepare a banquet, let's have a good drink!"
The three of them left the small square of the resort together and walked towards the main building.
In the future, this resort will not open its doors to welcome guests again, and Mu Sheng and Liu Mansha will also stay here.
The affairs of their sect have been arranged, and the only thing to do now is to wait here patiently. Before departure, Chen Nanfeng and Xia Ruofei made it clear that they would still choose to land here when they returned.
If the trip goes well, Xia Ruofei and the others will come back in about two months.
And two months is not a big deal for Golden Core stage practitioners. It takes longer to close a small test, so Mu Sheng, Liu Mansha and others don't bother to toss back and forth, so they just stay here. Just stay and wait patiently.
...
On the black obsidian flying boat, Xia Ruofei and others also stood on the front deck all the time, looking at the rapidly shrinking scenery below.
Soon the thousands of lights on the ground were like dots of stars, and there was even a feeling of heaven and earth upside down in a trance.
The Obsidian spaceship keeps rising at a uniform speed, and when it reaches a height of about 3,000 meters, Xia Ruofei asks everyone to put on extravehicular spacesuits.
But this time he didn't stop the flying boat, but let the flying boat continue to climb at a constant speed.
Unknowingly, the spacecraft has reached an altitude of about 400 kilometers.
At this time, everyone is already in a state of weightlessness, but everyone is still staying on the deck. Anyway, the obsidian airship has opened the shielding barrier and protective barrier, and it is impossible for everyone to float outside because of weightlessness.
On the contrary, in the process of rising altitude, the magnificent scenery outside is more attractive, so no one wants to go back to the cabin.
Now everyone is at an orbital altitude of 400 kilometers. Standing on the deck of the Obsidian spaceship, you can already see the huge outline of the blue earth, the hazy halo of the dividing line between dawn and dusk, and the dotted city lights.
The rare and magnificent scenery gives people a very shocking feeling.
Standing on the deck of this obsidian airship, the line of sight is completely unobstructed, and the viewing angle is excellent. It can be said that among the billions of people on earth, only a few people can appreciate this kind of scenery.
Astronauts are already one in a million or even one in a billion, but not all astronauts have the opportunity to see such a view. Except for a few astronauts who have experienced spacewalking outside the cabin, everyone else is on the spacecraft. In the , experimental cabin and even the space station, those who observe the earth through the narrow portholes will always see a part. How can there be such an unobstructed angle like now?
In fact, the Obsidian spaceship does not keep rising in a straight line. The route it takes is somewhat similar to the trajectory of a rocket launch, but it is steeper than a normal rocket launch trajectory. However, at an orbital altitude of 400 kilometers, the Obsidian spaceship is basically in a state of flying around the earth.
According to the original plan, everyone will switch to the dragon spacecraft at this altitude, so under the control of Xia Ruofei, the obsidian spacecraft completely stopped continuing to climb.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile in the communication channel: "Everyone, let's take a good look at the scenery! Once you enter the spaceship, you won't have such a wide field of vision!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the viewing angle of the spaceship is also good! Besides, everyone doesn't have much thought of enjoying the beautiful scenery now. Let's save this kind of scenery for the return trip to enjoy slowly!"
"Haha! Brother Chen is right!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then get ready, everyone, let's transfer to the spaceship immediately!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei kicked the ground lightly and flew upwards lightly. He grabbed the top of the obsidian flying boat and came to the small deck area at the tail of the flying boat with a little clumsiness.
Chen Xuan and others followed Xia Ruofei to the poop deck together.
The aft deck is much smaller than the bow deck, so nine people in extravehicular spacesuits came here together, and it seemed a bit crowded.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei took the dragon spacecraft assembly out of the space of the spirit map.
The huge dragon spaceship appeared in the dark space in an instant, and it was suspended not far from the tail of the obsidian spaceship, maintaining a relatively static state with the obsidian spaceship.
The moment the Dragon Spaceship Assembly appeared, Xia Ruofei had already activated the spaceship's shielding formation with mental power.
At the front end of the Dragon spacecraft assembly, five traction ropes have been placed in advance, which Xia Ruofei specially asked Li Yifu to customize in the United States while waiting for the last batch of extravehicular spacesuits.
These five traction ropes are all made of high-strength alloy materials, and two hooks cast from the same material are installed at both ends of each. The tow ropes were hung up first.
The two hooks at the front end of each traction rope are hung on different external armrests at the front end of the Dragon spacecraft assembly. Now due to the weightlessness in space, the five traction ropes are all suspended in a twisted shape.
Xia Ruofei directly grasped the five traction ropes with mental strength, pulled them all over, and hung the hooks on different positions on the side of the Obsidian spaceship.
This kind of alloy hook has a strong spring. When you want to unlock the buckle, you have to use more force to achieve it. Therefore, unless the spring fails, it is basically impossible to untie it by yourself.
Five traction ropes are used at one time, and each end of each traction rope has two hooks, which is quite reliable. With so many insurances, the probability of problems at the same time is almost zero.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also asked Li Yifu to order ten more of the same traction rope, which are now placed in the space for backup. In case there is a problem with the traction rope during the voyage, it can be replaced at any time.
It can be said that Xia Ruofei has achieved the ultimate in safety protection.
After he connected the dragon spacecraft assembly and the obsidian spacecraft with a traction rope, Xia Ruofei then penetrated the spiritual power into the cockpit of the spacecraft, turned on the main power switch, and then made preparations for the transfer in an orderly manner.
Finally, after the decompression procedure, part of the doors of the orbital module of the dragon spacecraft assembly was remotely opened by Xia Ruofei with mental power control.
Xia Ruofei turned to look at everyone, and said: "The orbital cabin is relatively small, so let's enter in two batches according to the original plan. The first group below will follow me into the cabin first!"
This process has been deduced several times in advance on the ground, including the division of groups in advance, so in actual operation, everyone is in order.
Ling Qingxue, Chen Xuan, Yang Liu, and Yu Xiner followed Xia Ruofei and floated towards the dragon spacecraft assembly.
After a while, all five people entered the orbital cabin.
Then, Xia Ruofei closed the hatch from the inside, and then the spacecraft computer began to check the airtightness of the cabin, and released the air in the high-pressure gas cylinder, and began to pressurize the orbital cabin.
In fact, as the main passage for entering and exiting the cabin, the orbital cabin of the Dragon spacecraft carried 8 high-pressure gas cylinders in one move, and each pressurization and decompression were operated through the gas cylinders. Pressurization is the process of releasing the air in the cylinder. Only when the air pressure in the cabin is balanced with the air pressure in other cabins can the hatch leading to other cabins be opened; while decompression is just the opposite, using the inside of the cylinder. The special device sucks air in to make the cabin form a vacuum, so that the air pressure in the cabin is the same as the air pressure in outer space, and the hatch door to leave the cabin can be opened.
Theoretically, the air in the high-pressure gas cylinder can be reused, but every time the process of pressurization or decompression, there will inevitably be a certain loss, and there is also a probability of failure, so this time Xia Ruofei specifically asked to carry a few more The high-pressure gas cylinders are designed to prevent malfunctions after multiple entry and exit operations.
Of course, even if all the high-pressure gas cylinders fail, Xia Ruofei and the others will not be trapped in the spaceship.
The spacecraft is also designed with a manual decompression device, which can directly compress the air and discharge it into space, thereby making the cabin a vacuum.
The pressurization process is even simpler. Xia Ruofei and the others all carry a sufficient amount of oxygen supply modules. If all the high-pressure gas cylinders are really invalid, they will release the oxygen stored in the oxygen supply module directly after closing the hatch. The cabin can also be pressurized.
After a while, the pressurization of the orbital cabin was completed. Xia Ruofei's mental strength detected that the control panel of the cockpit showed that the air pressure in the orbital cabin was exactly the same as that of other cabins, and the air quality met the requirements.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei asked everyone to take off the space suits outside the cabin, and each received the magic weapon for storage.
Then, he opened the hatch leading to other compartments.
According to the original plan, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue came to the cockpit at the front of the spacecraft.
And Chen Xuan, Yang Liu, and Yu Xiner went to another rest cabin on the side that was about the same size as the orbital cabin.
Chen Xuan, who was the last to leave the orbital cabin, tightly closed and locked the airtight door leading to other cabins from the orbital cabin. In this way, the orbital cabin was completely isolated from other cabins.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue sat in the cockpit seats.
According to the design, this cockpit can accommodate up to four astronauts, and it is four astronauts wearing extravehicular spacesuits. So now it only accommodates Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue who are wearing work clothes in the cabin, and it still seems very spacious.
Xia Ruofei accurately found the button to decompress the orbital cabin in the cockpit and pressed it. The control panel showed that the orbital cabin had returned to a vacuum state again. Xia Ruofei then used mental power to remotely control and open the door of the orbital cabin.
Then, he said in the communication channel: "Elder Shen, the spaceship is ready, please take your team to enter the cabin!"
According to the rehearsal process in advance, Elder Shen Tianfang of the Tianyi Sect is the person in charge of the second group. He brought Xu Yurou, a disciple of the Qi Refining Period of his own sect, and Mu Sheng and Mu Jianfei of the Canglang Sect, a total of four people, They also floated to the Dragon spacecraft assembly smoothly, and entered the orbital module in sequence.
Shen Tianfang personally closed the airtight door to outer space.
Then Xia Ruofei operated in the cockpit and pressurized the orbital module again.
When the pressure in the orbital cabin returned to the same level as other cabins, Xia Ruofei told Shen Tianfang and others in the communication channel that they could take off the spacesuit outside the cabin.
Shen Tianfang and his group of four took off their bulky extravehicular spacesuits and put them into their own storage treasures. Then they opened the airtight door from the orbital cabin to other cabins.
In this way, all the cabins in the Dragon spacecraft assembly are in a connected state, and everyone's activity space is relatively spacious.
In terms of the size of the living space, this combination is even larger than China's Tiangong series of space laboratories. After all, it is composed of several cabins.
If you want to use conventional means to build this combination, you need at least several rocket launches, and then you need to perform fine orbit changes, docking and other operations on the orbit, which will cost a lot of money.
And Xia Ruofei put the spaceship assembly in the spirit map space, and took the spaceship to the 400-kilometer orbit. It's not too easy!
After everyone has entered the cabin, Xia Ruofei, who was sitting in the cockpit, said with a smile, "Are you all ready? We are officially going to the moon!"
