From the 450-kilometer low-Earth orbit of the new Kaohsiung Space Station, Chen Liang and Liao Qingsong launched the Xuanwu-class, after two large maneuvers of the main engine and some flight posture adjustments.
The dilapidated International Space Station is already far away. The International Space Station, which once dominated the Blue Star space industry, is now like a dying old man.
The solar panel array is like a ruined wall, and obvious deformations or holes can be seen outside many cabins.
From the perspective of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft, the dilapidated International Space Station, the blue star background, and the vast black universe form a strong visual impact.
"How insignificant human beings are, and how tenacious human beings are." Chen Liang sighed.
"We are close to the International Space Station. Xuanwu-class No. 012 is now above the International Space Station. The direction is..." Liao Qingsong reported meticulously.
"Send a communication request to the survivors of the International Space Station." Chen Liang also became serious at this time.
"receive."
Liao Qingsong immediately made a call to the holographic bracelet on the International Space Station through the communication system of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft.
"This is the Xuanwu-class spacecraft. Please come back to the International Space Station."
"Roger! This is the International Space Station. I'm Andrew Morgan, are you there?" Andrew Morgan replied emotionally.
"We are above the International Space Station. You can now go above the cabin of the Star. We are preparing to park temporarily there." After Liao Qingsong finished speaking, he turned to Chen Liang and said
"Prepare to temporarily park 5 meters above the cabin of the Star."
"receive."
Chen Liang immediately started the auxiliary engine, and with the precise assistance of the spacecraft computer, slowly approached the International Space Station.
This is the time to rush. The scarred International Space Station may be in danger at any time, especially those parts that are already unstable. If one or two parts suddenly fall off, it will be a big trouble.
The Xuanwu-class spacecraft is like walking on a tightrope. With the blessing of the spacecraft's own computer with 10 trillion computing power, it approaches the International Space Station - the top of the Star Service Module in a stable and orderly manner.
The six astronauts in the life support module had already entered the Star service module at this moment.
The reason why we chose to dock the Xingzhen service module with the Xuanwu-class spacecraft is mainly because the specifications of the Space Development Commission and the International Space Station are different, and there is no way to dock the Xuanwu-class spacecraft with the docking module of the International Space Station.
Since docking is impossible, we might as well not engage in such a thankless task and use the two large holes on the upper side of the Star service module to allow astronauts from the International Space Station to board the spacecraft from this shortest distance.
Oleg and Luca have appeared outside the service module of the Star.
"Qingsong, the spacecraft has reached the designated position. Go to the cargo bay door and prepare to bring them up." Chen Liang ordered Liao Qingsong while operating the buttons one by one.
"receive."
Liao Qingsong immediately opened the airtight door of the spacecraft cockpit and entered the airtight cabin. The airtight cabin is a professional cabin specially designed for astronauts to enter and exit.
After entering the airtight cabin, he started the vacuum pumping system. The airtight cabin was quickly evacuated, and then the airtight door on the side of the cargo compartment opened automatically.
Behind it is the cargo hold of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft. Inside the cargo hold are rows of shelves made of titanium alloy composite carbon nanotubes. These shelves are all specially made.
After floating to the hatch leading to the outside, Liao Qingsong first fastened the button on the fixed handle near the hatch and calmly entered the password [0000].
Zhi! The hatch opened steadily, and through the thermal imaging auxiliary system, he could already see two figures 5 meters away.
Push an automatic telescopic ladder downwards. This automatic telescopic ladder was brought from the space station and is not included with the Xuanwu-class spacecraft.
Then Liao Qingsong turned on the holographic bracelet. At this time, shouting and the like were not feasible, and since both parties did not have short-wave intercoms, Liao Qingsong adopted the simplest communication method.
[You all go up the ladder one by one.] A piece of English is projected directly not far from Luca and Oleg.
Luka and Oleg leaned on their helmets.
"Luca, go up first, I'll notify the others."
"OK."
Luka slowly climbed up while placing the buttons on the ladder, using the two buttons alternately, and approached the Xuanwu-class spacecraft step by step.
Oleg used the light of his flashlight to type a piece of Morse code to other people in the Star's service cabin.
The injured Alexander was sent up first, followed by Jessica and Christina, and finally Andrew Morgan.
With the global live broadcast, the whole world is paying attention to this space rescue operation.
Of course, only Panda Live, a subsidiary of Zhongxing Group, is qualified to host this kind of live broadcast. If Zhongxing Group is not allowed to enter or Panda Live is not downloaded, there is no way to watch the live broadcast. This is a disguised promotion.
Panda Live has become the world's No. 1 video company, and Panda Account has surpassed all social software around the world.
After all, Zhongxing Communications has the largest service area in the world. As a pioneer of 6G technology and itself a communications service operator and mobile device manufacturer, there is nothing you can do if you don't use it.
This International Space Station accident is a vivid advertisement for Zhongxing Communications. You see, my service area can even be connected to the International Space Station, let alone Blue Star.
March 26, 2020 2133.
The injured Alexander was the second to board the spacecraft, followed by Christina and Jessica, and finally Luca and Andrew Morgan.
The whole process went without incident. What Chen Liang and Liao Qingsong were worried about did not happen. Liao Qingsong placed Andrew Morgan and others in the airtight cabin.
"Ah Liang, start the spacecraft and leave immediately." Liao Qingsong said immediately after entering the cockpit.
"Copy that." Chen Liang also knows that it is very dangerous near the International Space Station. Once the International Space Station is hit by a debris group again, it is likely to disintegrate and collapse.
The main engine of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft sprayed blazing fire and quickly returned to the orbit of the New Kaohsiung Space Station.
In an airtight cabin.
"It's safe for now." Andrew Morgan leaned against the bulkhead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Two women stood aside depressed.
Alexander, on the other hand, looked pale and endured the pain.
"I wonder when we can return to the ground? This space mission is too bad." Luka complained.
"I'm very lucky to be alive." Andrew Morgan said with a complicated expression.
Luka changed the subject and said, "I wonder what the Eastern Tang Dynasty's space station is like?"
"It's bigger than the International Space Station anyway, at least 10 times. As for the facilities inside, I don't know." Andrew Morgan replied slowly.
"Now I just want to have a good sleep, and then when I wake up, I will go back to the Mediterranean beach in Sicily and fish while basking in the sun." Luca fantasized.
"Maybe after returning to the ground this time, I will choose to retire." Andrew Morgan said disappointedly.
At this point, everyone fell silent. Obviously, NASA's behavior this time made them feel chilled. They didn't want to experience this kind of experience of being treated as an abandoned child again.
At the same time, they also saw the power of the Space Development Committee. The future universe must be dominated by the Dongtang family. At least this spacecraft can instantly kill Boeing spacecraft, Dragon spacecraft and the like.
What's more, mass projectors, shield technology, etc., as long as the Space Development Council doesn't get wet, Andrew Morgan doesn't believe they will lose.
