Chapter 311: Created a Record

When the spacecraft entered orbit, the strongest shock to Lin Qishan was not weightless. This felt that he had experienced too much during the drill. The most shocking moment he looked out through the porthole - under the pitch-black space, the blue shiny arc of the earth shocked him like never before!

Never before at that moment I could see this planet on which humans depend for their lives so clearly. Its thin atmosphere is like a membrane covering the earth. The white clouds and the blue sea make people marvel at the magnificence of the earth, make people sigh at their own insignificance, their inner fear and satisfaction, and their fearless yearning for civilization!

Lin Qishan looked at it for a while, and then his arm touched the command for a long time before he came to his senses. The two of them had already grasped each other's palms together, and Lin Qishan also joined immediately. He grabbed the three palms together and shook them, congratulating each other on their successful entry into the track.

However, the journey is just the beginning, and the orbit entered by the spacecraft is lower than that of the space station. According to the ground idea, the spacecraft can catch up with the space station by accelerating and running upwards.

But in space, this idea may have burned the fuel and I haven't seen the shadow of the space station yet!

The correct way is to change the orbit, reduce the height difference and angle difference by constantly changing the orbit, and use the pushing effect of gravity to catch up with the space station.

The mainstream method is to perform multiple orbital changes and accelerate the increase, then reduce speed and adjust the angle, catch up with the space station through precise calculations, and implement docking. This process takes about 16-20 hours according to the current mainstream method, such as the United States.

The early insurance methods even took two or three days, but Russia was destined to be talented and brave. The cutting-edge Soviet aerospace technology allowed them to master an accelerated orbit change method based on this.

The commander used this method this time. During his time around the earth, he operated the spacecraft to change orbits many times. After the spacecraft orbited the orbit for two weeks, he was able to catch up with the space station.

This set of accelerated docking technology can shorten the conventional tasks of more than ten or twenty hours to within four hours!

For example, Lin Qishan's spaceship was ordered to operate for two laps and catch up with the space station, which took 3 hours and 32 minutes!

If other people's aerospace is an elegant violin's space singing and dancing, the Russians are the majestic steel march, like a bullet hitting the bull's-eye directly!

The passengers did not let them endure physical discomfort in a small space, and it felt like they had taken a regional plane, and then the spacecraft successfully docked with the International Space Station.

Lin Qishan admired from the bottom of his heart that Russia has a strong foundation in space technology.

He wanted to learn how to operate and go back to talk to our aerospace engineer, but the command was too long and the operation was too dense, and his head was still a ball of paste, and the destination was here!

The Soyuz spacecraft was docked with the space station, connecting the largest spaceflight object that humans have ever built: 108 meters long, weighing more than 400 tons, and having a size of more than a Boeing 747! Countries have spent more than ten years expanding one after another, but have not yet been completed!

When he was docking and preparing to enter the space station, Lin Qishan was excited because as long as he entered the space station, he would create a record of the youngest astronaut in human history!

And it may be difficult to break in the next few decades!

His hands were trembling, and he walked—strictly speaking, the commander floating in front of him, Kudlinski turned back and said to him: "Take it slow, treat this baby's body like a lover, and you will make it unhappy if you grab it roughly!"

The old driver is worthy of being an old driver. The people who have experienced it are so experienced that they can tell that Lin Qishan is nervous without looking at it.

But after the ridiculed car started, Lin Qishan also laughed and felt much more relaxed.

Passing through and entering the docking cabin in turn, the environment is smaller than expected, and full of things. It is said that the space was specially made because of the docking of the spacecraft.

In space, every inch of land is absolutely valuable, and every bit of space must be used to the extreme. Lin Qishan and they changed their space suits, retained their usual clothes, and then floated to the cabin inside.

The International Space Station consists of more than a dozen cabins of large and small sizes. The main providers are the United States and Russia, such as Russia's Star Service Cabin and the United States' Harmony Node Cabin. They cannot be avoided even when they work and rest.

Regarding the arrival of the three astronauts, two astronauts from the permanent space station also organized a welcome ceremony.

Two US astronauts, James Principe and John Aston.

Before coming, Lin Qishan knew that space is a particularly lonely place. Living in a small space for a long time, even professionally trained astronauts will be suppressed and occasionally anxious.

So seeing new faces is a good way to relieve them, especially this time there were astronauts from China. These two Americans in the space station were particularly strange.

The time is different from more than ten years ago. China's huge progress in the aerospace industry is obvious to all, especially the situation where the International Space Station faces retirement in the future and China will monopolize it at that time.

This may be because the US side did not point fingers in this incident. After all, it may be a request for others in the future. Now that the relationship is broken, it will really be in space and there will be nowhere to stay!

Want to rebuild a space station? It doesn’t take five or eight years to think about it, so the same thing is said: Strength brings respect!

Lin Qishan is now the representative of China's strength. With his strong motherland behind him, he kicked the ban aside and came up openly!

Because Lin Qishan's English is also good, there is no obstacle to communication.

Like Russians, they prefer to speak Russian, and English has a serious accent.

So the younger John Aston from the US was happy to communicate with Lin Qishan and enthusiastically took him to tour and introduced the structure of the space station: "It consists of more than a dozen cabins, and each space that can be used has been squeezed out..."

"This is our laboratory, here is the work area, and there is this Harmony Number. Have you seen its fireplace-like box? This is our bedroom. Don't underestimate that it is not as big as a desk at home, but it's already enjoyable to have an independent space here..."

"In the early years, before the Harmony cabin was delivered, there were people who had no bedroom when there were too many people, so they could only fix themselves on the bulkhead to sleep. What's worse is the Russian Star. The noise was really too noisy. You must have felt it just now. Can't we consider more comfort for us astronauts..."

John Aston was very talkative and said everything. After all, he had been in the space station for three months. Every day, he had such a small space, and the face of his colleague. He finally saw a stranger and seemed to be easier to talk to than the two cold Russians, so he kept talking to Balabara.

Lin Qishan had learned about this mentality in advance, so he could understand it. He listened politely, cooperated with the other party's desired effect, and asked a few questions occasionally.

Aston answered one by one and introduced him to the entertainment equipment of the space station. Americans pay more attention to personal enjoyment than Russians. They brought electronic pianos, guitars, chess and other toys, and even fitness equipment, bicycle machines, and treadmills!

You should know that the cost of transporting one kilogram of material into space is 20,000 US dollars! These things are so expensive! If it were Russians, they would probably rather bring a few more bottles of brandy than these little toys for women!

After visiting all the functions and uses one by one, Lin Qishan also adapted to the space environment on the way. First of all, he forgot the concept of up, down, left and right. This is where your feet face, it is treated as the ground.

Then there was an activity to adapt to space, and I walked around and took a look, and gradually became flexible. Finally, I had dinner with everyone, but they were all liquid food and jelly that didn’t know the taste, and the cost of three meals on this day was $20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

He must get used to everything around human life. After getting used to it, he must also carry out his own "scientific research work", familiarize himself with and experience the equipment here, and participate as a helper.

Finally, there is his personal show - Space Live!

As early as when he decided to go to Russia for training, the live broadcast plan had already been clear. After he went to heaven, all the interesting shooting technicians on the ground were ready.

China also has promoted and warmed up the "Space Network Live Broadcast by the Founder of Qupai" in multiple fields. As the first person to land on the space station in China, this is a historic moment.

Now wait for Lin Qishan to get used to the space station, find a time to connect to the ground when you have time, and carry out this unprecedented feat of a later generation in a short period of time!
