After careful inspection, the staff confirmed that there was no problem with the spacecraft.
"Loading department, everyone is in position and starts loading according to the previous procedures." The person in charge shouted loudly.
"receive."
The staff responded and loaded the space station module components, graphene solar film panels, main engines, fuel and other cargo into the Xuanwu-class spacecraft one by one.
The Xuanwu-class OO1 transports two space station cabins, solar film panels, space operation robots and part of the fuel.
Xuanwu-class oo3 and oo1 transport the same cargo, while Xuanwu-class oo5 transports two main engines and fuel.
November 13th.
All the cargo has been loaded onto the three Xuanwu-class spacecraft, and the staff are conducting the last routine inspection.
At the same time, in the main control room of Jianmu No. 2 Base, a large number of staff or researchers were already in place.
Zhao Hongxing looked at the report and found that both the weather and other conditions in the past few days were suitable for spacecraft launches.
Of course, the weather conditions at the Bazhong base are the most suitable for mass projector shooting. It is mainly a basin terrain and there are no strong winds such as typhoons.
Relatively speaking, the climate conditions of the Kaohsiung base are much worse. It has a subtropical climate, coupled with the island terrain, typhoons are very frequent.
"Bureau Zhao, the Beidou system has been adjusted and can cooperate with our launch work at any time. In addition, the Nandou system of the Galaxy Consortium will also cooperate with our launch work," the person in charge of the satellite monitoring department reported.
Zhao Hongxing nodded: "I understand."
"Report, the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft has entered the launch position inside the mass projector."
"The power storage station has abundant power, enough to support mass projection for 12 consecutive times."
"The ring airship and magnetic vacuum cable have been reviewed and can be used."
The heads of various departments reported the relevant situation to Zhao Hongxing one after another.
Wang Tu, Academician Ma, Li Zhongting, Wang Guanghai and others also came to the main control room.
"Hongxing, all departments seem to be ready." Li Zhongting sat directly next to Zhao Hongxing and said.
After Zhao Hongxing approved a document, he stretched and replied: "Yes, now we have to wait until ten o'clock in the morning on the 15th."
Everyone sat down and discussed some situations quietly in twos and threes.
These days, they have room and board at the Bazhong base and are busy working on this shooting plan. The entire shooting plan is divided into three times. The first time is at 10 o'clock in the morning on the 15th, and the second time is at 12 noon on the 15th.
, the third time is at 14 o'clock in the afternoon on the 15th.
Such high-density shooting is a great test for all departments of the Bazhong base.
Tick tick tick... time is approaching minute by minute.
November 15, 9:23 am.
The eyes of space agencies around the world are fixed on the Bazhong base.
About 5 kilometers southeast of the Bazhong Base, there is the only small town nearby. This is a town dedicated to serving the Bazhong Base.
Since a few days ago, a large number of domestic and foreign media have entered here. However, the 15-kilometer radius of the Bazhong base can only be classified as a red alert area. Reporters can only set up telescopes to observe Bazhong on an observation deck in the aerospace service town.
Central base.
You can enter the Bazhong base for interviews. Only the National News and Dongdao Daily are the only two newspapers. Other newspapers are not eligible to enter.
Similarly, Dongdao Daily also conducts Panda live broadcast. After all, they are all subsidiaries of Zhongxing Group, so cooperation is essential.
The Penguin Group cooperates with National News to conduct global live broadcasts.
As the time is approaching, more and more netizens are turning on their computers, TVs or mobile phone bracelets, eagerly awaiting the launch plan of the Bazhong base.
Bazhong Base, inside the main control room.
Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others are all inside, and they are all a little nervous at this moment. This is a project worth hundreds of billions, and there must be no mistakes in the first shot.
9:58
"Each department is in its place." Zhao Hongxing said seriously.
"Everything in the power supply system is normal."
"The weather is suitable for shooting."
"The bird repellent sound system is activated."
"Satellite monitoring is all normal."
"..."
All departments responded with serious expressions.
"Get ready, enter the shooting countdown." Zhao Hongxing shouted loudly.
[Countdown starts: 2o...15...1o...6...3,2,1]
[Magnetic vacuum pipe excitation... shot]
In an instant, the entire magnetic vacuum cable was electromagnetically excited, and a magnetic vacuum pipe with a radius of 8 meters suddenly connected between heaven and earth.
As the launch button is pressed, the guide rails of the mass projector and the guide rails of the rigid vacuum pipe are instantly energized, and the powerful Lorentz force fills the mass projector.
In the monitoring screen of the main control room, through the strong anti-electromagnetic camera, everyone is looking at the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft.
Moved.
With the powerful Lorentz force, the Xuanwu-class oo1 spacecraft, like a wild horse, rushed out of the mass projector at lightning speed. Then, with the further blessing of the magnetic vacuum pipeline, the speed became higher and higher.
quick.
Bo!
The Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft pierced the top membrane of the magnetic vacuum pipe and soared up to 90,000 miles.
The breaking sound of the spacecraft violently rubbed against the thin air high in the sky, and an instant scream resounded to the top of the clouds.
With an exit speed of 15 kilometers per second, it took only 9 seconds to reach 12o kilometers in low-Earth orbit.
The automatic driving system started immediately, immediately changed the direction through the auxiliary motor, and prepared to enter the 16o-kilometer track.
16 seconds.
The orbit correction was completed, and the Xuanwu-class oo1 spacecraft successfully entered the planned orbit.
"Successful."
Bang bang bang... everyone cheered.
"Don't let your guard down, the monitoring department and remote control department will continue." Zhao Hongxing shouted with a smile.
"Yes." The remote control department and monitoring department replied excitedly.
After successfully entering orbit, the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft began orbiting the Blue Star.
The ground control room reduces and corrects its orbit through remote control.
After more than half an hour, the spacecraft finally lowered its speed to within the range set by the Space Development Committee.
At this time, the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft was 160 kilometers above Bazhong City, operating simultaneously with Bazhong City, although doing so would increase the spacecraft's fuel consumption by 40 to 60%.
But this is a temporary measure. Once the space station is completed in the future, they will continue to raise the orbit until the space station reaches a low-Earth orbit of 45o kilometers.
When the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft reaches the designated position, the ground control room immediately activates the space operation robot.
I saw that among the six sides of the spacecraft, one of them was the hatch. The hatch automatically stretched out, extending about 5 meters outward.
Under the operation of the ground control room, the space operation robot took out the spare parts of the space station's No. 1 cabin from the cargo bay.
Then they began to be assembled in space near the hatch. These robots, specially designed for outer space operations, waved eight robotic arms like an octopus.
Their assembly is very fast and precise. With gel laser welding technology, the first space capsule was quickly assembled.
Then they installed the solar thin film panels on the basis of the space station's No. 1 cabin.
"Director Zhao, the No. 1 cabin of the New Bazhong Space Station has been built and can be activated." The person in charge of the remote control department reported.
"Then activate cabin 1." Zhao Hongxing nodded and ordered.
There are three specially-made 6G communication airships over Bazhong City. The ground control room uses these three 6G airships as transfer stations to send activation instructions to the Xuanwu-class OO1 spacecraft.
