Half of the puppet empire broke away from Travish's rule and announced peace talks with Grecken and Elanthir. This breaking news soon reached the ears of Grand Magister Travish.
While this news caused a stir within the puppet empire, it did not cause any sensation in Elland Hill.
Because, on this day, Ireland's manned spaceflight project officially began. A giant space station filled with 10 astronauts of various types was ignited and took off, entering a synchronous orbit.
Manned spaceflight is inherently a very precise job. Sending so many people into space at one go is definitely a feat that has never been done before in this world.
While sending people into space, the docking work of the space station will be even more complicated. If it were not for the powerful weapon such as the floating magic array, the space exploration of Alan Hill would not be what it is today.
So smooth.
Following the orders, at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, the main power rocket on the space station ignited, and this behemoth entered the geosynchronous orbit under the push of the rocket.
Then, after several adjustments, this huge space station is about to dock with Space Station No. 1 and merge into an even larger space station.
This new space station is more than 600 meters long and is simply a behemoth. People on this space station can have a good experience of life in the sky and experience life in the next few days.
The entire docking process must be broadcast on television - yes, it is a broadcast, not a live broadcast.
The first reason is because the speed of image signal transmission is still very slow. The other reason is because of the fear of losing control, so in the end, they had to choose the method of video broadcast to broadcast the docking scene of the space station to all the people of Elanthir.
"The flight attitude is stable! The auxiliary rocket is ignited and started!" Sitting in the control room, an astronaut carefully trained by the Airland Hill Air Force controlled the controller in front of him and reported to the ground command center what he had just done.
Series operations.
Sitting next to him is a magician who specializes in the research of outer space magic. This magician is now wearing a space suit and is feeling the surging magic power in his body in surprise.
Sitting behind them are two other astronauts. Each of them has their own experimental projects and they are both leaders in their respective fields.
"We have arrived at the scheduled orbit! Everything is normal!" While observing the status feedback screen in front of him, the pilot responsible for driving this huge space station and docking with the previously launched space station once again confirmed the status of the spacecraft.
Everything is normal, even the oxygen content is sufficient. The reason why they are still wearing spacesuits is just a precaution for emergency safety reasons.
"There are still 65 kilometers away from the target! Our speed is controlled well! Pay attention to turning on the reverse booster rocket when we are 31 kilometers away!" the space station commander responsible for directing this docking commanded.
Sitting next to him was a puppet clone of Chris, T800. He sat quietly like this, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Among the 10 astronauts, 4 are puppet stand-ins. These puppets have their own advantages in the space station, so they bring as many as possible.
The first advantage is that even if the docking fails and the space station is lost, the loss of personnel will be less-the loss of a puppet substitute is not a big deal.
The second advantage is that these puppets can survive in outer space for a long time. When they work in the space station, their bodies will not deteriorate due to weightlessness and other problems.
Therefore, these human astronauts will return to the ground in a few days, or at most dozens of days, but these puppets can still insist on working in the space station, and they can guarantee no regrets.
"Simulated gravity is off! Enter the docking stage immediately... Ground control tower! Please confirm the status of Space Station No. 1." An astronaut continued to confirm.
"Space Station No. 1 is in good condition! The speed of your Space Station No. 2 is also normal! I can see it very clearly here..." In the ground command center, the commander in charge of docking said in a relaxed tone.
They have used computers to simulate this situation many times, and it is almost always successful before the actual manned test is carried out.
And all this busyness and hard work has actually paid off. So far, the docking work has been going smoothly.
"Start the reverse booster rocket! Three, two, one!" The pilot repeated his actions loudly, while reaching out and flipping a red switch in front of him.
As he shouted, everyone in the space station felt that the space station they were in suddenly slowed down.
Soon, a huge space station appeared in front of these scientific researchers - it was the No. 1 space station launched by Alan Hill before, and it was also a huge super space station.
"I've seen it! It looks normal on the outside, and it's in really good condition! The distance between us is shortening." Through the thick glass window in front of him, the driver saw what had become a huge arc.
On the edge of the planet, I also saw the super space station very close at hand.
"Open the attitude adjustment rocket and jet to the left to adjust...I have aligned the docking port with the docking port of Space Station No. 1...Where is the blue signal?" He held the handle that controlled the flight attitude of the space station and carefully let No. 2
The space station flies more steadily.
"Okay, I saw the signal! There is no problem with the position..." Soon, under the guidance of the ground command center, he found the light signal - with a simple comparison, he could confirm that his position was correct.
of.
The design of this light signal was inspired by the aircraft carrier's landing command lighting system. It was later directly used in the space project, which is a good story.
"Extend the robotic arm! Successfully docked with the robotic arm on Space Station No. 1! Okay! Leave the rest to the computer!" The pilot, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened the glass cover of his helmet and wiped it with his hands.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
The robotic arm completed all subsequent tasks according to the instructions given by the computer. After the docking interface was completed, the robotic arms were fixed to each other and looked very strong.
The most important thing is that the docking ports between the two space stations have been pushed together. It seems that the docking work has been completely completed.
"Ground command center! Space Station No. 2 has been connected to Space Station No. 1! The rest will be left to another group of people." The pilot took a deep breath and shouted into the communicator.
It is by no means a simple task to connect huge space stations with thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons, together without any problems.
The two astronauts standing near the docking hatch looked through a fist-sized glass observation window in front of them and saw the docked hatch of the same model, with excited smiles on their faces.
They fastened the transparent masks in front of them, and then unscrewed the sealed hatch after confirming the pressure reading.
"Bah!..." After the sound of air pouring into the area with unstable air pressure through the gap, the sealed door of the docking interface was opened. Two astronauts in spacesuits passed through the connecting area and came to the sealed door of Space Station No. 1.
before.
Then, they unscrewed the crank handle on the hatch, opened the hatch, and entered the empty Space Station No. 1.
"The docking went very smoothly! Our space station has doubled in size!" After confirming that the docking was successful and there were no problems, the person in charge of the ground command center who directed the docking excitedly hugged his colleagues around him: "Long live Alan Hill.
!Long live!"
Two hours after the astronauts in space confirmed the successful docking, these images were broadcast to viewers across the country.
Everyone saw that Ailan Hill's space station had really gone up to heaven! They saw the magical outer space, and they also saw the magical Ailan Hill create another new miracle!
As a result, people also rejoiced. They cheered and took to the streets, feeling proud that their motherland was so strong.
At the same time, Eiland Hill's live news broadcast also broadcast a brief message in the corner, briefly introducing the news that some cities in the puppet empire were preparing to surrender - nothing more.
Such a big thing as the defection of half of the territory of the dignified puppet empire was overshadowed by a spectacular TV broadcast of the docking of the manned space station in Ireland. This is definitely a tragedy for the puppet empire.
What's even sadder is that the docking of Ailanshir's space station was successful, and the empire has begun to expand their territory into space.
But what about the Puppet Empire? This once arrogant and powerful magic empire is now begging for mercy from the Elanthir Empire.
In the space station, Chris's puppet T800, who was in charge of magic research, opened a door and saw the lounge prepared for astronauts inside.
There is plenty of space here, especially for only 10 astronauts. All the supplies on the two space stations can be described as abundant.
"Same as the surveillance, the vegetables here are growing very well! Much better than on Earth." Chris' puppet clone patted his spacesuit and said to a mortal astronaut next to him.
"The power of magic has also been improved, but the consumption has been reduced... This place has given me many surprises." Chris' puppet clone praised, while reaching out and touching the leaves of the nearby plants.
"We will wait here for the arrival of Space Station No. 3... This will take a lot of time. During this time, what we have to do is to take good care of this Super Space Station No. 1." After he finished speaking, he removed his hand from the leaves.
, began to record the status of these plants, soil and other data.
