Qin Yi looked at the smiles on the faces of everyone in the control center. Some people even shouted excitedly. Although all this had been expected, when it really came, it was still unbearable.
Excited for it.
Qin Yi and Yin Shouping are no exception. Although Qin Yi has seen too much in the science and technology tower, too many advanced technologies, and has also seen many super space battleships of powerful cosmic civilizations, but when the 'Houyi' successfully entered
After entering orbit in space, Qin Yi still clapped vigorously.
I am afraid no one knows better than Qin Yi what this means when the Hou Yi successfully enters space.
This means that a new era has arrived, and this era is the interstellar space age. It will profoundly change the entire development process of mankind and affect all aspects of mankind just like the industrial revolution that once occurred.
From then on, the earth became the mother star, and human beings began to move forward bit by bit in the sea of stars, towards the depths of the starry sky.
Yin Shouping next to Qin Yi was even more excited. He kept clapping with both hands. Qin Yi even saw that his palms were red, but he seemed unconscious and didn't care about it. He was so excited.
After a long time, the applause in the control center gradually subsided. Everyone looked at the large monitoring screen. At this time, the Houyi spacecraft had entered the predetermined orbit and was flying along the inertia in space while waiting for the signal from the ground.
next step instructions.
In space, inside the 'Houyi' spacecraft, the five astronauts have begun to get busy, untied their restraints, and began to feel the feeling of weightlessness. This is the first time for all five astronauts to go into space.
Being in a weightless environment feels very fresh.
Some people tried to do somersaults in the spacecraft, while others tried to float around in the spacecraft, like curious babies, carefully experiencing the weightless environment.
But soon, the five people started to get busy. This time, the Houyi spacecraft carried too many things, and the five astronauts were very busy.
The first task was to launch satellites. This time, it carried more than ten satellites, including navigation system satellites, resource exploration satellites, meteorological satellites, communication satellites, etc.
The 'Houyi' spacecraft began to change its orbit in space. Relying on its powerful anti-gravity engine, it changed its orbit very quickly. It soon reached the scheduled orbit of the first satellite, and then adjusted its speed.
.
"Release Satellite 001~"
As the command from the ground was conveyed, a hatch of the spacecraft slowly opened, and a mechanical arm slowly stretched out. On this mechanical arm, a satellite was ejected.
After the satellite was ejected, its solar panels slowly stretched out in space, and began to soar in space like an elf in space. It gradually became smaller and smaller in the line of sight, and finally disappeared.
.
Originally, with the technology of atomic matrix batteries, there was no need to carry solar panels. One atomic matrix battery was enough to keep the satellite running until it was completely scrapped.
But now there are anti-gravity spaceships with powerful carrying capacity, so they can do whatever they want. What's more, satellites without wings seem to have no soul, they look ugly, and they are a bit difficult to use.
The 'Houyi' was constantly changing its orbit in space. One after another, the satellites were taken out of the spacecraft by the mechanical arm, and then ejected, each starting their own mission in their own orbits.
Launching satellites becomes extremely simple.
If we rely on traditional rockets to launch satellites, we can often only launch a few satellites at a time. If the satellite has a large mass and volume, we can often only launch one satellite at a time.
We also need to pray that the rocket will not have any problems and that it will have enough carrying capacity to transport it to the predetermined orbit. Otherwise, it will not be able to enter the predetermined orbit and the launch will be considered a failure.
But relying on anti-gravity spacecraft is different. It can adjust its position and altitude in space very arbitrarily, and it can also adjust the speed of flying in space as needed.
Launching a satellite becomes a matter of constantly adjusting the orbit and speed. As long as the parameters are set well, the satellite can be launched as soon as the spacecraft enters the predetermined regulations and the speed is consistent with the satellite settings.
Satellites one after another continued to enter the predetermined orbit, and the ground control and command center also began to receive signals from satellites in the sky. The entire control and command center once again burst into applause.
In the Houyi spacecraft, five astronauts are constantly busy. There is a mechanical arm in the spacecraft, but many things launched into space this time are firmly fixed, which requires the astronauts to unlock.
A huge space capsule was firmly grasped by the mechanical arm, and then slowly pulled out of the spacecraft, adjusting its position in space. At the same time, the speed of the spacecraft was also slowly changing, heading towards the Tiangong.
'Get closer slowly.
It is about to dock with the Tiangong and begin to contribute to it.
The construction of the space station is an extremely huge project, and it is often not something that one country can afford. Even if it is as powerful as the United States, it still needs to cooperate with other countries, spending hundreds of billions of dollars, and is time-consuming.
It took many years to build the International Space Station.
China's Tiangong space station is still very small, with only a few space capsules, which is not comparable to the International Space Station. Moreover, its construction speed is very slow, and it often takes several years to add a new space capsule.
After all, space is a high-tech field that costs a lot of money and is full of huge risks. Even the power of a country is very small in the space field. China wants to build Tiangong to the scale of the International Space Station. I don’t know if it will be the year of the monkey or the horse.
thing.
Of course, these are all old almanacs.
I saw the 'Houyi' spacecraft slowly approaching the 'Sky' space station, and the mechanical arm on the spacecraft very accurately aimed the new space capsule at the docking position on the 'Sky'.
The new space capsule is very large, more than ten times larger than the traditional space capsule, and its shape is no longer the traditional cylindrical shape, but more like a square house.
The interior of the space capsule has already been filled with various scientific instruments and equipment, and two astronauts have already entered it.
When the new space capsule was docked with the "Sky", looking from a distance, the entire "Sky" space station seemed to expand all of a sudden. Its size increased several times in an instant.
Each space capsule looks very small, as if these space capsules are docked on top of a new space capsule.
However this is not the end.
Although the Tiangong space station looks much larger, it is still small compared to the Houyi spacecraft next to it.
Seeing the other side of the Houyi spacecraft, the hatch opened again, and under the slow pull of the mechanical arm, another huge space capsule was slowly pulled out.
As simple as putting together building blocks, the robotic arm slowly stretched in space, brought the huge space capsule to the docking position, and successfully docked the space capsule again.
One space capsule after another was continuously dragged out of the spacecraft and slowly docked with the new space capsule.
In less than 2 hours, the entire "Sky" space station has undergone tremendous changes. Originally there were only a few small space capsules, but it suddenly turned into a huge space building.
The original space capsules seemed to have become insignificant little pendants on the space station, while the new Tiangong space station looks a bit like a huge house, and its shape has been freed from the limitations of the space capsule.
"Huh~"
Here at the ground control command center, Qin Yi could clearly hear the heavy breathing of many aerospace experts.
There was excitement in this voice, unconcealable excitement, and infinite longing for the future.
Such a huge space station was something that was simply unimaginable before.
If you want to build such a huge space station by launching rockets again and again, not only the cost is huge, but also the time alone will take at least ten years.
What's more, even if there are enough funds and time, it is absolutely impossible to get rid of the space capsule model in the construction of the space station. In the end, it will be just another international space station.
Although it looks huge, the internal space is still very small. Many large-scale equipment, instruments, etc. are simply impossible to transport into space, but now all this has become possible.
In just a few hours, China's Tiangong space station has changed drastically, just like tall buildings rising from flat ground, and a chasm turning into a thoroughfare. It's so fast that it's suffocating and hard to believe.
But what you see in front of you cannot lie. The mechanical arm on the Houyi spacecraft is still busy, moving out the new space capsule and continuing to expand the Tiangong space station like building blocks.
