Chapter 496 Successful docking

After hearing what Mr. Qin said, the entire command center, including Wang Bin and Mr. Qiu, nodded. Just as Mr. Qin said, this matter was no longer something they could discuss, even if they were Tiangong Technology, as the world's strongest aerospace company today.

So everyone immediately shifted the topic they were discussing back to how to rescue 13 airplanes. Of course, the main discussion was the plan proposed by Zhao Feng and his crew members.

At this time, the experts from the command center were also nervous, and carefully calculated to judge the feasibility of the plan proposed by Zhang Feng's crew. After more than half an hour of calculation, the final result was obtained.

The success rate is 85%, which means that the results obtained by the command center are higher than those obtained by Zhao Feng and others.

Wang Bin, Mr. Qin and others were deeply relieved about this result. After all, the success rate of 85% is no longer low.

Of course, in addition to the plan proposed by Zhao Feng and others, there is also another plan, which is to directly send a spacecraft or rocket to launch a spacecraft, and directly pick up the 13 astronauts to the orbit where the damaged spacecraft is unloaded.

However, there are also great risks in doing so, that is, the aerospace plane or spacecraft must dock with the already damaged aerospace plane, and then transfer the astronauts in the aerospace plane to the undamaged aerospace plane, but the docking is more difficult and the risk factor is higher.

However, Wang Bing and his friends still reported both plans to their superiors. After obtaining these two plans from Tiangong Technology, the superiors directly decided to use the first plan. However, the second plan did not give up. Once the first plan failed, the second plan would be carried out immediately.

Whether before implementing the first or second plan, Wang Bing and his team must first withdraw all the personnel inside the orbital space station of their Tiangong Technology back to the ground.

Because, due to the fact that the damaged space planes dock with space, there is a great risk. If there are still a large number of astronauts inside the space, if the docking fails and the space plane crashes directly into the space station, it will definitely be a disaster for the personnel inside the space station. After all, the space station has not been fully constructed yet and its impact resistance is very limited. In order to ensure the safety of the personnel inside the space station, the best way is to withdraw them back to the ground. There is still a lot of time before the space plane arrives at the space station, and there is still more than a day left. This long time is enough for their space station to evacuate all personnel inside.

After all, there are not many astronauts inside the space station now, only a few dozen. Just two or three Phoenix-kt2 space planes can transport all personnel back to the ground.

Time is tight, and after determining the plan, Wang Bin and the others immediately started to take action. The first thing is to do is to inform Zhao Feng and ask them to act according to the plan they had proposed before. If there is any accident in the middle, they will implement the second set of plans and use a space shuttle or spacecraft to pick them up.

At this time, after receiving the reply from the command center, Zhao Feng and others immediately began to adjust the flight track of the aerospace plane. One minute earlier, the danger coefficient of the aerospace plane will be one minute smaller.

After all, at this time, the internal and external structures of their aerospace plane have been greatly affected, and no one knows when the aerospace plane will not disintegrate directly.

It is precisely because of this that all the astronauts inside the space shuttle have been worn with outer drums and armor, and equipped with a full set of cosmic activity kits, such as the astronaut's dedicated single-person thruster. In addition, there are water and food that can maintain their survivability for more than three days.

In short, they had made all the unexpected plans at this time and were always praying in their hearts that they could return to the ground safely.

Fortunately, their prayers played a role. A day later, the aerospace plane finally entered the orbital height of the orbital space station in Tiangong Technology, and the distance between it and the space station was gradually getting closer.

However, the more this happens, the more careful what Zhao Feng and others wrote. After all, they were very clear about the condition of the aerospace plane at this time, and the fuel inside the aerospace plane was also not much left because the aerospace plane used a large amount of fuel when adjusting the orbit.

Finally, with Zhaofeng and others' efforts, the aerospace plane finally successfully completed the docking with the space station. On the Zheng Lang command center, Wang Bin, Qin Lao and others were greatly relieved. After all, this means that the safety of the astronauts and data inside the aerospace plane has finally been guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, what Zhao Feng and others have to do next is not easy. Not to mention anything else, just over 18 tons of lunar soil and rock handling work is enough for the 13 of them to work for a few days.

And because the top of the cargo hold of this aerospace plane has been cut off directly, the cargo hold is directly exposed to space, which makes handling work extremely difficult.

Fortunately, since the docking between the space shuttle and the space station has been successful, other astronauts can also return to the space station. After all, it is impossible for such a huge space station to have only one interface. Even if the space station has not been fully constructed, the entire air station has seven or eight interfaces. These interfaces are large and small, and some are specifically used for docking with space shuttles. Some are specifically used for docking with cargo ships and other spacecraft.

However, in addition to other types of pairing interfaces, there are only five or six space stations for airplane docking types, so other space planes can still continue to dock with this space station.

Just now, less than two hours after Zhao Feng and others docked with the Ziwei aerospace plane, another aerospace plane quickly approached from afar. Yes, this aerospace plane was the airplane just launched from the earth. In addition to carrying more than 10 astronauts, this aerospace plane did not carry other cargo or equipment.

The aerospace plane completed the docking with the space station in less than half an hour. After the docking, Zhaofeng and other space stations, astronauts began to transfer the soil and rock samples from the damaged aerospace plane to this new aerospace plane. At the same time, some of the damaged aerospace planes are not suitable for use. The data sent back by communication means are transferred to this, without the damaged aerospace plane.
