The Lagrangian point between the Earth and the Moon is because the mass of the Earth is much greater than that of the Moon, so the Lagrangian point is only less than 70,000 kilometers away from the Moon, but it is more than 300,000 kilometers away from the Earth.
This is basically equivalent to building a space factory in the outer space of the moon. Fortunately, let alone the outer space of the moon, millions of people live and work on the moon, and there are many people traveling between the earth and the moon every day.
Flights and travel are extremely convenient.
The spacecraft of Galaxy Technology Group is like a straight line in the void, and it also uses rocket thrust power technology to accelerate in space.
One by one, they dragged long tail flames and headed towards the moon at speeds of tens of kilometers per second.
In the dark starry sky, such a large number of anti-gravity spacecrafts move at the same time, forming an extremely beautiful scenery. Looking from a distance, it looks like a huge swarm of fireflies, or as if they are coming from the depths of the galaxy.
It's like a huge space fleet, with a mighty momentum.
After a full three-hour flight, the team led by Wu Renjie arrived at the scheduled location. All anti-gravity spacecraft landed directly on the moon, then took off from the moon, and flew back to the scheduled location.
Long sun point.
There is no way, the speed of the spacecraft is too fast, and it takes too long to slow down in space. It is faster and safer to fly directly to the moon, rely on the moon's strong gravity, and then use the anti-gravity engine to slow down.
When it takes off from the moon again, the speed of the spacecraft is very slow. The distance of less than 70,000 kilometers is simply an insignificant distance for the spacecraft.
"The Lagrange point is confirmed and you can start working~"
Next to Wu Renjie, scientists from the Institute of Astronomy and Astronomy of the Galaxy Science and Technology Research Institute used numerous positioning satellites distributed between the earth and the moon, and then used computers to easily and accurately calculate the position.
"Let's get started~"
Soon, an order came from the Earth Control Center. The Ground Control Center had apparently calculated that they had arrived at the predetermined location and ordered the construction of the space factory to begin.
"Action~"
Wu Renjie nodded and gave the order.
As his order was issued, in space, more than 300 anti-gravity spacecraft began to approach each other according to their respective numbers. Some had more than ten spacecrafts leaning together, and some had two or three spacecrafts leaning together.
These spacecrafts approached each other, and at the same time, the hatches slowly opened, revealing a huge belly. The belly of the spacecraft was filled with large and small space factory components, and the spacesuits were put on, and they were busy.
astronaut.
On each spacecraft, long robotic arms began to stretch out continuously. These high-tech robotic arms from Ink Claw Mechanical Technology are the most powerful tools for astronauts in space.
The direct distance between the spaceships became closer and closer, and the mechanical arms on the spacecraft began to continuously connect with each other. Soon, through these mechanical arms, the spaceships adjacent to each other were fixed together.
More robotic arms continued to stretch out, and inside the huge belly of the spacecraft, there were also robotic arms, pulleys, etc. that began to carry out the parts of the space factory inside.
Here in the spaceship No. 001 where Wu Renjie is located, Wu Renjie, who is wearing a space suit, has a rope tied to his body, and he grabs a mechanical arm and slowly enters space.
"Component No. 1~"
Soon, when Wu Renjie came to the middle point of several spaceships, he did not waste time. There was a matching virtual machine in the space suit, which could clearly transmit information about the required components, their order, the spacecraft they were in, etc.
Come here, all they need to do is follow the procedures set by scientists and engineers.
Soon, on the anti-gravity spacecraft numbered 002 next to it, a mechanical arm slowly pulled out a component that was as big as a house.
This component is the future core of the space factory. It is similar to a heart. It is a cube-like existence with almost the same length, width and height, and is more than ten meters long. Each one has a carefully set connection port.
Just for such a core component, Galaxy Technology Group spent hundreds of billions on its manufacturing, and the materials used are more expensive than gold, because even though there is no gravity in space, it must bear the burden of the entire space factory.
huge mass.
But because the space factory is assembled from countless parts, there will also be some other forces between them, such as torque, etc. As the core, these forces may eventually act, and it must be sufficient.
Just be strong.
The core components were slowly transported by numerous robotic arms to the center point of the spacecraft. This point is also the most stable Lagrangian point between the earth and the moon.
"The direction is wrong, the first surface must be aligned with the direction of the earth."
In Wu Renjie's mind, using powerful virtual machine technology, the information monitored by various monitoring instruments around him will be transmitted. At the same time, it will correspond to everything simulated and assembled in the quantum computer. Any errors will need to be adjusted.
Because no matter how small the mistakes are, if they continue to accumulate, they will eventually be fatal.
This is why in previous aerospace projects, the reliability rate of all parts and components has reached 99.999%, and some have even reached several decimal places.
But scientists and engineers are very nervous about every space mission, because a rocket or a satellite has too many parts, even though the reliability of each part is very, very high.
But as long as there are a few flaws or errors, the sum of the many parts and components will be extremely terrible. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal and the losses will be extremely heavy.
Even Uncle Sam in the past had to give up using the space shuttle after several major accidents occurred in the use of the space shuttle. The consequences were so serious that even Uncle Sam couldn't bear it.
The core components slowly began to adjust with the help of the robotic arm, and were quickly adjusted into place.
With the anti-gravity spacecraft, it is much safer in space. With the combination of mechanical arms and mind technology, work in space has also become easier.
"No. 2, Component 3~"
Wu Renjie quickly issued the order again.
Soon, new components were pulled out by the mechanical arm from the surrounding spacecraft. Fortunately, the anti-gravity spacecraft was large enough and the internal space was large enough, so each component was as big and precise as a small building.
The small parts, small parts, etc. are already installed when they are on the ground.
If we still rely solely on rockets to travel to and from space as we did a few years ago, let alone building a space factory, a small international space station will require the cooperation of many of the most powerful countries on earth to operate it.
This is the gap between the times and the gap in technology.
Without anti-gravity spacecraft, the interstellar space age would simply not be possible.
Component No. 2 and Component 3 were slowly moved to the vicinity of Component No. 1, and then, under the control of the robotic arm, they were perfectly connected to the interface of the set number, just like building blocks.
The design of each component is strictly calculated, and the accuracy requirements are also very high. When connected together, it looks like one body.
The entire space has become very busy. Spaceships have gathered together to form formation points. At each formation point, there are people like Wu Renjie directing the formation.
All the work that can be done with a robotic arm is done using the mind to control the robotic arm, but there are still many places where astronauts have to do it themselves.
The work is progressing very smoothly, but not very fast, because in the sky, except for the spacecraft, everything else must be careful and cautious, and the slower the better.
Huangping Town, Galaxy Aerospace Industrial Base, Ground Control Command Center.
Qin Yi looked at the huge monitor, which was transmitting images from the front line back in real time, divided into many small screens.
Every small picture is an assembly point, very busy, and the mechanical arms are working tirelessly.
In the void of the Lagrange point, huge components are assembled one after another. Some of them look like huge tall buildings, even bigger than the anti-gravity spacecraft next to them.
However, this is just a small component in the future space factory, a large component assembled from many small components.
"Spaceship No. 2 flies away~"
At this time, Wu Renjie had already entered the assembled core assembly, and the entire core assembly began to work, with mechanical arms stretching out from the core assembly.
At the same time, compressed air began to be released in the core components, allowing Wu Renjie and others to safely take off their heavy and clumsy spacesuits, float around in the core organization, and direct the establishment of the entire space factory.
As his order was issued, the mechanical arms fixed to each other between the spacecraft began to loosen, and the No. 2 anti-gravity spacecraft began to slowly leave, the hatch also slowly closed, and began to return in the direction of the earth.
This time, its mission has been completed, but the entire vast space factory project has just begun. It still needs to return to the earth and transport more components.
"Spaceship No. 3 flies away~"
When spacecraft No. 2 left, Wu Renjie also ordered spacecraft No. 3 to leave. After spacecraft No. 2 and No. 3 left, an empty area was left.
In the direction of this area, another huge component that has been assembled is slowly drifting towards the core component under the traction of the robotic arm. The next thing to do is to combine the large components.
