Although he also knew that Fang Xiaoyue's physical fitness was excellent, it was her first time in space, so it was hard to say that she wouldn't have some psychological problems due to the huge load.
"It's okay, Tommy, are you okay?"
Fang Xiaoyue raised her hand slightly, and then became concerned about Tommy.
In his opinion, Tommy's performance seemed to be a little bad at this time, and his lips were a little red. Is there anything wrong?
"It's okay, I'm fine."
After a while Tommy replied.
Next, the entire operation cabin shook slightly, which was when the booster rocket began to separate.
Not long after, there was another shock, and the third-stage rocket broke away...
After all the parts that should be separated are separated, you can see the beauty of space through the glass of the operating cabin.
In the dark and starry darkness, a huge blue planet is suspended, and the faint halo around it makes the planet look extremely holy.
The whole scene was extremely shocking.
Even a well-informed descendant like Fang Xiaoyue could not help but fall into silence at this time.
Well, actually at this time, except for the slight sound of electricity from some instruments, the entire operating cabin seemed extremely quiet.
Fang Xiaoyue even wondered if she had entered a dream.
"The scenery is so wonderful that I feel so small every time I see it."
Tommy became energetic at this time and started chattering.
However, this scenery was enough to be seen for a while. After seeing it too much, it would just look the same. So after waiting for a while, the two astronauts began to operate the instruments to determine the position of the satellite that needed repair.
While they were busy, Fang Xiaoyue blocked the camera with her body and took out the land purchase card from the void ring.
While in the void ring, it is impossible for the land purchase card to have any contact with the outside world.
But after taking it out, white thin lines quickly spread towards the distance.
Based on the direction in which the white thin line spread out, Fang Xiaoyue quickly determined the location of the golden card.
Somewhat coincidentally, the first satellite that Kevin and Tommy decided to repair next was in the direction of the golden card, which actually saved Fang Xiaoyue some trouble.
He was well prepared. If it was in a direction away from the golden card, then he would most likely force the two of them.
Of course, it's best not to be forced. After all, this is space.
In space, it's hard to feel the passage of time without staring at the timer on the screen.
Fang Xiaoyue only felt herself beeping for a short while before she heard Kevin calling Tommy and preparing to leave the cabin to repair the satellite.
Of course, before that, he had to operate the robotic arm to grab and fix the satellite, and then Tommy went out to repair and replace the solar panels.
It can be said that the technology of this plane is indeed much stronger than Fang Xiaoyue's original world.
"Kevin, I think I can help."
Fang Xiaoyue also wanted to go out and see where the golden card was. After all, the starry sky that could be seen in this operation cabin was too narrow.
"Oh, thank you. I don't need help yet, but you can observe me for a while and replace me later."
Tommy stood in front of the hatch and said with a smile.
As he operated, another hatch fell down, blocking the view, and then there was a hissing sound.
The air extractor needs to remove the air between the two hatches and evacuate this area, and then the outer hatch will open to allow astronauts to enter and exit.
But even so, Fang Xiaoyue can still check Tommy's current situation through the camera.
During this process, Kevin controlled the robotic arm to grab the satellite and hold it firmly in place.
The hatch opened, and Tommy tied a rope around his waist. He carefully grabbed the handles of the hatch and moved toward the satellite.
When conducting extravehicular operations in space, one cannot be too cautious.
Because it's completely different here than on the ground.
Any small mistake can have devastating consequences.
For example, if Tommy forgets to tie a rope around his waist, if he floats into space after leaving the control cabin, he will never be able to come back, and he will only be able to float in space forever.
It would be even more tragic if you accidentally hit a sharp object.
In short, even though Tommy has been to space twice, he is still very cautious.
By the time Tommy moved to the satellite, fifteen minutes had passed.
If it were on the ground, even if it was working at high altitude, the distance would only be three minutes at most.
After fixing himself in a certain position on the robotic arm with a hook on his waist, Tommy began to inspect the satellite, and then replaced the solar panels and other potentially problematic parts.
Fang Xiaoyue could see Tommy's every move through the camera, but he could not see through the camera where the thin white line floating on the land purchase card went.
Fortunately, two and a half hours later, Tommy completed the satellite maintenance, and after checking that nothing was left behind, he returned to the operation cabin.
When the cabin door closed, Tommy took off his helmet, lay on the seat, and swallowed the water-rich toothpaste food in big mouthfuls, it was obvious that he was really exhausted.
No way, carrying out extravehicular maintenance in space is so tiring.
A long period of high stress combined with a completely different space environment from the ground. Even if the space suit has taken as much comfort as possible and can automatically filter sweat, urine, etc. to keep the human body dry, it will still make people feel extremely tired.
.
"Let me do it next time, otherwise Tommy will be too tired."
Fang Xiaoyue requested appropriately at this time.
Kevin looked at Tommy, then at Fang Xiaoyue, hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
After all, Fang Xiaoyue also underwent various trainings in the training base, and her physical fitness was much higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, Kevin did not continue to refuse, but began to emphasize to Fang Xiaoyue tips and safety precautions for space operations.
As mentioned before, no matter how careful you are when operating in space, you cannot be too careful.
Of course, even if you want to perform the next maintenance, you need to get close to another satellite first.
But despite Fang Xiaoyue's worries, Kevin steered the control cabin in the direction where the white thin line floated, which made him secretly relieved.
No way, it's really inconvenient to do things in space.
If it were on the ground, even on the train, Fang Xiaoyue would be able to get off easily and freely, but here, he has to consider many other issues and cannot make a decision so easily.
Seven hours later, when Fang Xiaoyue was enjoying the toothpaste food that was almost getting boring, Tommy finally controlled the operation cabin to catch up with the satellite and fixed it with a robotic arm.
Well, Kevin has packed his entire body into a sleeping bag hanging on the wall.
