Jiang Shui, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his head with a towel and asked confusedly: "What news? What activities is Taotao doing?"
Liao Qingsong, who was reading a space station design book, raised his head and said: "I have been training recently and have no time to read gossip news."
Ma Wu sat directly on the table and said excitedly: "The Xuanwu-class oo1 will be shot at Jianmu No. 2 in Bazhong City."
The other three people were stunned. Spaceship maintenance man Song Yingcai, who was also reading the information, put down the information in his hand and asked: "Are you sure it was the Xuanwu-class oo1 that shot at the Jianmu No. 2 base?"
"You don't believe it?"
"Awu, where did your news come from?" Liao Qingsong didn't believe it.
Ma Wu turned on the holographic computer and entered the official website of the Universe Development Committee: "Look, our immediate superior's announcement."
Liao Qingsong and the other three quickly came over.
"Holy shit!"
"I actually missed such exciting news."
"The news is from three days ago."
"I believe it now!" Ma Wu said with a smile.
"But isn't the wood-building plan not completed yet? How will we shoot it then?" Jiang Shui twisted his head and asked in confusion.
"Anyway, this matter can't be faked. I have to train hard." Ma Wu encouraged himself.
"How many times have you passed driving training?" Liao Qingsong asked with a smile.
"I have passed 8 times, Lao Jiang is more powerful and has passed 11 times." Ma Wu replied helplessly.
The simulated driving test for spacecraft pilots is on a 100-point scale, but there is no such thing as passing, failing, or good with 60 points.
There are only two levels, that is, passing with 100 points, and failing with 100 points. Students will fail as long as they make one mistake.
After all, driving a spaceship in outer space is not like driving a car on the ground. A small mistake may cause the astronauts and the spacecraft to receive lunch boxes together.
"It seems that Lao Jiang has a higher chance than you. A Wu, you have to work hard." Song Yingcai patted Ma Wu on the shoulder and consoled him.
"I guess I have little hope of becoming the first astronauts in space. There are a few perverts in the pilot profession, and I have passed it more than 20 times now." Jiang Shui said helplessly.
Those astronaut reservists who knew that the Xuanwu-class was about to be launched were excited and gearing up. This was a good opportunity to leave their mark in history, especially for the first or first batch of astronauts.
Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about training and learning, and everyone wants to become the first astronauts in outer space.
…
Bazhong City, Shu Province.
Xuanwu-class transport and projection spacecraft construction factory.
Li Zhongting brought Wang Tu and Zhao Hongxing to the Xuanwu-class OO1.
The specifications of the Xuanwu-class are exactly the same as those of the Qinglong-class. The only difference is that the Xuanwu-class does not have a life support cabin or a cockpit. Its control system is automatically controlled by a program.
"Academician Li, is there no problem with the Xuanwu-class No. 01?" Wang Tu asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, we have checked it three times inside and out, and not a single screw has been missed." Li Zhongting replied, patting his chest.
"By the way, Lao Li, how are you preparing to transport supplies?" Zhao Hongxing asked, looking at the empty Xuanwu-class oo1 cabin.
Li Zhongting opened the holographic bracelet and gave a list to the two of them.
"This is the cargo list of Xuanwu-class No. 01."
Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu browsed carefully.
[Space station cabin numbered parts and components; 20 tons of submetallic oxygen-hydrogen mixed fuel; 120 square meters of graphene solar film panels; 5 space operation robots;...]
"Are these parts of the space station's No. 1 and No. 2 cabins?" Zhao Hongxing turned around and asked.
Li Zhongting nodded: "Yes." After saying that, he clicked on another file on the holographic projection, and a model of a space station cabin immediately jumped out.
"We adopted a modular design, dividing a cabin into 24 parts, and then assembled them in outer space."
"Is this technology too risky?" Zhao Hongxing looked at the model and felt it was unreliable.
"There is no problem with this technology. Do you still remember the joint sealing problem of the vacuum pipeline of the Taiwan Strait Cross-Sea Bridge?" Wang Tu said without starting or ending.
Zhao Hongxing was confused: "What's going on with the vacuum pipeline of the Cross-Strait Bridge?"
"The sealing problem of vacuum pipe joints involves gel laser welding technology. After our research, we found that this technology can be applied to outer space operations, especially the sealing problem of parts assembly." Wang Tu explained with a smile.
"What Wang said is correct. It is precisely because of this gel laser welding technology that we gave up the method of sending the entire capsule to outer space and chose the method of sending modular parts to outer space and then assembling them again," Li Zhongting went on to explain.
one time.
"Is it reliable? Don't let things slip at the critical moment." Zhao Hongxing was still worried.
After all, he gave up the mature whole-cabin approach and adopted a modular component approach that had never been used in outer space. No wonder he had concerns.
"Don't worry, Hongxing! We will launch three times this time to send four space station cabins and two main engines. If the assembly fails, the maximum loss will be tens of millions." Li Zhongting said.
Zhao Hongxing laughed and scolded: "Lao Li, you said you can relax, isn't tens of millions money?"
"Look at Lao Ma's 2 billion guide rail. Tens of millions is really nothing. It's not enough for a small goal." Li Zhongting joked with a smile.
"The possibility of failure is very slim. If unfortunately you are right, just spend money to buy a lesson!" Wang Tu didn't care.
"..." Zhao Hongxing was suddenly speechless.
On the other side, there is a space station parts manufacturing factory also in Bazhong City.
They have packed the spare parts for the four space station cabins and are loading them into vehicles to be sent to Jianmu 2 Base.
"Gao Yue, are the numbers correct?" Factory Manager Li Dongshan asked, looking at the spare parts being loaded into the car.
"My manager! You have asked me about this matter more than a dozen times. These parts have been verified by machines and manually, and there will be no mistakes." Gao Yue replied with a wry smile.
"I'm not nervous! If something goes wrong with the first shot, our jobs will be ruined." Li Dongshan said nervously. He was not like the nervous Gao Yue. Li Dongshan still felt uneasy and said:
"Give me the scanner and the list, and I'll check it again myself, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Helpless Gao Yue could only go get the scanner and the list.
"Give."
Taking the QR code scanner and list from Gao Yue, Li Dongshan scanned the QR codes and checked the list of spare parts again.
Beep! [Space station number]... Beep! [Space station number]...
"Huh!" After checking the last spare part, Li Dongshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there no problem?" Gao Yue asked.
Li Dongshan nodded: "No problem, it can be sent to Jianmu No. 2 Base. Gao Yue, please escort him there personally!"
"Ko!" Gao Yue made a gesture, then turned his head and shouted loudly: "Come out."
"Be safe along the way." Li Dongshan said with concern.
Gao Yue waved his hand, got into the pickup truck and drove away, accompanied by the local armed police and Tianhan security personnel.
Although it was the hinterland of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Universe Opening Committee did not take it lightly. After all, it was necessary to be on guard against others. The more critical the moment, the more cautious it was.
