Interstellar Industrial Age

Chapter 81, unparalleled speed

Qin Yi looked at the smiles on the faces of everyone in the control and command center, and some people even shouted excitedly. Although all this was already expected, when it really came, it was still unbearable. excited about it.

Qin Yi and Yin Shouping are no exception. Although Qin Yi has seen too many advanced technologies in the science and technology tower, and has seen many super space battleships with powerful cosmic civilizations, when the 'Houyi' entered smoothly In space and into orbit, Qin Yi still applauded vigorously.

No one knows better than Qin Yi what it means for the 'Houyi' to enter space smoothly.

This means that a new era has come. This era is the era of interstellar space. It will profoundly change the entire human development process and affect all aspects of human beings just like the industrial revolution that has occurred.

Since then, the earth has become the mother star, and the footsteps of human beings have begun to step into the depths of the starry sky little by little in the sea of ​​stars.

Yin Shouping next to Qin Yi was even more excited. He clapped his hands constantly. Qin Yi even saw that his palms were already red, but he didn't seem to be conscious and didn't care about it. He couldn't be excited.

After a long time, the applause in the control and command center gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the monitoring big screen. At this time, the 'Houyi' spacecraft had entered the predetermined orbit, and was flying along inertia in space, while waiting for the arrival from the ground. next step instructions.

In space, in the 'Houyi' spacecraft, the five astronauts have already started to get busy, untied their restraints, and began to feel the feeling of weightlessness. All the five astronauts went to space for the first time. In a weightless environment, I feel very fresh.

Some people try to somersault in the spaceship, and some people try to float around in the spaceship, like a curious baby, carefully feeling the weightless environment.

But soon, the five people started to get busy. This time the 'Houyi' spacecraft was carrying too much stuff, and the five astronauts were busy.

The first task was to launch satellites. This time, more than ten satellites were carried, including satellites with navigation systems, resource exploration satellites, meteorological satellites, communication satellites, and so on.

The 'Houyi' spacecraft began to change its orbit in space. Relying on a powerful anti-gravity engine, it changed its orbit very quickly. It soon reached the predetermined orbit of the first satellite, and then adjusted its speed. .

"Release satellite 001~"

Following the command from the ground, a hatch of the spacecraft slowly opened, and a robotic arm slowly stretched out. On the robotic arm, a satellite was ejected.

After the satellite was ejected, its solar panels slowly spread out in space, and began to soar in space like an elves in space, gradually getting smaller and smaller in sight, and finally disappeared. .

Originally, with the technology of atomic matrix batteries, it is completely unnecessary to carry solar panels. One atomic matrix battery is enough to maintain the operation of the satellite until it is completely scrapped.

But now there are anti-gravity spaceships with strong carrying capacity, so they can be willful, not to mention that satellites without wings seem to have no soul, they look ugly, and they are a bit unmanageable.

The 'Houyi' constantly changes orbits in space. One satellite after another is taken out of the spacecraft by the robotic arm, and then ejected, and each starts its own mission on its own orbit.

This makes launching satellites extremely simple.

If you rely on traditional rockets to launch satellites, often only a few satellites can be launched at a time, and if the mass and volume of the satellites are large, only one satellite can be launched at a time.

It is also necessary to pray that the rocket will not have problems, and that it will have enough carrying capacity to transport it to the predetermined orbit.

Otherwise, it cannot enter the predetermined orbit, and the launch is a failure.

But relying on anti-gravity spacecraft is different. It can adjust the position and height in space very freely, and can also adjust the speed of flying in space as needed.

Launching a satellite becomes a matter of constantly adjusting the orbit and speed. As long as the parameters are set, the satellite can be launched as soon as the spacecraft enters the predetermined regulation and the speed is consistent with the satellite setting.

The satellites continued to enter the predetermined orbits, and the ground control and command center also began to receive signals from the satellites in the sky. The entire control and command center burst into applause again.

In the 'Houyi' spacecraft, five astronauts are constantly busy, and there are mechanical arms in the spacecraft, but many things launched into space this time are firmly fixed, which requires astronauts to untie.

A huge space capsule was firmly grasped by the mechanical arm, and then slowly pulled out of the spacecraft, adjusting its position in space, and at the same time the speed of the spacecraft was slowly changing, moving towards the 'Tiangong'. 'Come closer.

It is about to dock with the 'Tiangong' and start to contribute to it.

The construction of the space station is an extremely huge project, and it is often not affordable for a country. Even if it is as powerful as the United States, it still needs to cooperate with other countries, spending hundreds of billions of dollars in huge sums of money, time-consuming. It took many years to build the International Space Station.

Huaxia's 'Tiangong' space station is still very small, with only a few capsules, which cannot be compared with the International Space Station. Moreover, its construction speed is very slow, and it often takes several years to add a new capsule.

After all, space is a high-tech field with huge costs and huge risks. Even the power of a country is very small in the space field. Huaxia wants to build the 'Tiangong' to the scale of the International Space Station. thing.

Of course, these are all old calendars.

I saw the 'Houyi' spacecraft slowly approaching the 'Sky' space station, and the robotic arm on the spacecraft precisely aligned the new capsule at the docking position on the 'Sky'.

The new space capsule is very large, more than ten times larger than the traditional space capsule, and its shape is no longer a traditional cylindrical shape, but more like a square house.

The interior of the space capsule has already been filled with various scientific instruments and equipment, etc., and 2 astronauts have entered it.

When the new capsule was docked with the 'Sky', from a distance, the entire 'Sky' space station seemed to expand at once, and its volume instantly increased several times. The capsules look small, as if they were docked on top of new capsules.

But it didn't end there.

Although the 'Tiangong' space station looks much larger, it is still a little smaller than the 'Houyi' spaceship next to it.

Seeing the other side of the 'Houyi' spacecraft, the hatch opened again, and under the slow pull of the mechanical arm, another huge space capsule was slowly pulled out.

As simple as putting together building blocks, the robotic arm slowly elongated in space, brought the huge space capsule slowly to the docking position, and successfully docked the space capsule again.

One capsule after another was continuously dragged out of the spacecraft, and slowly docked on the new capsule.

In less than 2 hours, the entire 'Sky' space station has undergone tremendous changes. Originally, there were only a few small capsules, and it suddenly became a huge space building.

The original space capsules seem to have become small pendants on the space station, which are insignificant, while the brand-new 'Tiangong' space station looks a bit like a huge house, which has got rid of the restrictions of the space capsule in shape.

"Whoo~"

Here at the ground control command center, Qin Yi could clearly hear the heavy breathing of many aerospace experts.

There is excitement in this voice, undisguised excitement, and infinite longing for the future.

Such a huge space station was something that was never imagined before.

To build such a huge space station by launching rockets again and again, not to mention the huge cost, it will take at least ten years to calculate the time alone.

What's more, even if there is enough money and enough time, it is absolutely impossible to say that the construction of the space station will get rid of the mode of the space capsule, and in the end it will be just another international space station.

Although it looks huge, the internal space is still very small, and many large equipment, instruments, etc. are simply impossible to transport into space, but now all this is possible.

In just a few hours, Huaxia's 'Tiangong' space station has changed a lot, just like a tall building rising from the ground and a moat turning into a passageway. It's so suffocating that it's hard to believe.

But all this is not a lie in front of me. The robotic arm on the 'Houyi' spacecraft is still busy, moving out the new capsule and continuing to expand the 'Tiangong' space station like building blocks.
