A big country of aerospace with black technology

Dragon Kingdom’s manned spacecraft is currently in a mission-free state.

But want to solve their current dilemma.

It may not be successful either.

The crux of the problem is that the interface standards of both parties are different.

The core module technology of the International Space Station was developed by Yingjiang.

Especially the current node module-1 adopts their technical standards.

The Longguo Space Station completely adopts independent technology.

The two sides do not share the same standard design.

"Their manned spacecraft is not compatible with your node module."

"How do you plan to connect their spaceship to our space station?"

In an instant, the person in charge of Maozi discovered the unreliability of the other party's plan.

The interface standards are different and it is not that easy to solve.

Their spaceship cannot dock directly in the core cabin section when docking.

That's why.

They even launched a dedicated docking module for this purpose.

Used for docking manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft.

"There is a spare connection port on the core cabin that can be used universally."

The director of NASA said with a not-so-good look on his face.

The alternate universal interface is actually several ropes that can be rigidly connected.

I didn't expect it to have any effect.

But this time it can play an unexpected role.

"The connection of the spacecraft is not a problem, but it can only provide power and cannot transport people and materials."

Rigidly connected ropes can only provide a certain amount of power.

Because there is no direct connection between the cabins.

It is impossible to transport people and materials.

"Okay, so now there's only one question left."

Since the other party said there was no problem, the person in charge of Maozi spread his hands and said;

"How to get Dragon Kingdom to agree to use their manned spacecraft."

Although according to the international cooperation principles of the Outer Space Treaty, all signatory countries should cooperate and assist each other when engaging in space activities.

However, in practice, this is still limited by the relationship between various countries.

Now, they want to let people use their own manned spacecraft to rescue the International Space Station that once rejected them.

The person in charge, Mao Zi, already felt a strong sense of irony.

Of course, this was a lot of fun for him.

So I hugged my arms and started watching the show.

"On this point, we will find a way to discuss it with people from the Dragon Kingdom."

With a light word, the NASA director ended this emergency meeting.

It was evening in Long Kingdom at this time.

"Today's mission objectives have been completed."

Inside the Beidu ground flight control center, it was announced that the day's mission was over.

The day and night rotation time of the space station is much faster than that on the ground.

In less than an hour, they were able to fly around the Earth.

Therefore, the biological clock that humans have evolved over tens of millions of years has completely failed.

They can only rely on ground time to formulate their own schedule.

After six o'clock, all their work for the day was completed.

After a simple dinner, the three of them entered the post-dinner exercise and entertainment time.

During this time, they need to do a certain amount of physical exercise.

To ensure that there will be no problems with your body after returning to Earth.

This has been learned in history.

The early astronauts in human history worked in space for a long time.

After returning to the ground, it was difficult to even stand.

This is because living in a zero-gravity environment for a long time causes symptoms such as muscle atrophy and osteoporosis in the body.

Hence the current space station.

Whether it is the International Space Station or the Tiangong Space Station of the Dragon Kingdom.

All have a certain amount of fitness equipment to keep astronauts' muscles and bones healthy.

Jing Haipeng exercises on a small treadmill.

Special magnetic running shoes prevent him from floating too far away from the treadmill while running.

Liu Wang used an elastic band to exercise his arms.

The zero-gravity environment inside the space station makes traditional dumbbells useless.

You can only exercise with these specially designed equipment.

Liu Yang was watching a movie.

This space mission is very long.

Considering the spiritual needs of the astronauts, a large amount of audio-visual entertainment has been prepared for them.

Including hundreds of classic movies and TV series, and thousands of songs.

These are all chosen by the astronauts before they go to space.

In addition to these audio-visual entertainment contents, each of them also has ten minutes to talk to his family every day.

Compared with the International Space Station, which is now almost a headache.

At this time, there was a peaceful scene inside the Tiangong Space Station.

Several people were doing their own things, and at most they were chatting for a while during their free time while exercising or watching dramas.

——

"What?"

"Want to use our manned spacecraft?"

In the flight control center, Zhang Xingyang, the deputy commander-in-chief, was a little surprised.

"Can't they launch another one themselves?"

"Not in time?"

"ok, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xingyang rested his arms and elbows on the podium, thinking about what should be done about this matter.

In the phone call just now, he was told about the situation of the International Space Station in front of him.

If the orbit raising operation cannot be successfully completed within 10 hours.

Then this space station, which carries the blood of countless people, will crash.

Moreover, several astronauts on the space station could not escape the fate of death.

Ten hours, regardless of country.

There is no guarantee that they can successfully complete a series of tasks such as spacecraft assembly, rocket launch, etc.

These tasks normally take several days to complete.

Ten hours.

It really can't be done.

As for these astronauts, they really don’t deserve to die.

In line with the Outer Space Treaty’s principle of saving astronauts.

They do have an obligation to save the lives of these astronauts.

But this is not so easy to do.

It's just communication and coordination between the two parties.

It's not an easy thing to solve.

"We've got a real problem."

After Zhang Xingyang thought for a while, he announced the matter to the personnel in the ground flight control center.

"There is a certain problem with the International Space Station.

Their orbital altitude is rapidly decreasing, now it's time for us to save them!

Now the only people in the world who can save them are our people! "

After announcing the incident to the ground personnel.

After arranging a few people to prepare for the docking with NASA.

Zhang Xingyang started communicating with the astronauts inside the Tiangong Space Station non-stop.

"There is a problem with the International Space Station, and it is very likely that we will need to use our manned spacecraft."

Zhang Xingyang said very seriously:

“At present, our manual control docking technology has not been proven, so I will not let you manually operate the spacecraft this time.

We still carry out our tasks according to the predetermined plan.

No matter what, we won't let anything happen to you.

We have your back! "

The reason why Zhang Xingyang said this.

It's because of the plan proposed by NASA.

We want to allow the astronauts at the Tiangong Space Station to manually drive the manned spacecraft and dock with their space station.

The reason is that manual docking is more accurate.

He was rejected on the spot by Zhang Xingyang!

Not to mention that their manual docking technology is currently unproven.

Even if it is verified, he will not agree.

In this case, the manned spacecraft is very risky.

He couldn't let his people take this risk.

He said on the spot: "Either let the spacecraft dock automatically, or don't use our spacecraft!"

Now it is NASA that begs itself not to get used to their bad habits!

Moreover, the relationship between the two parties is still competitive to a large extent.

Saving them is all based on the principle of saving astronauts.

Otherwise, Zhang Xingyang would definitely watch their space station crash into the atmosphere.

Let alone a few people, so what if there were hundreds of thousands of people.

in the subsequent war.

A war of annihilation in space would result in tens of thousands of casualties.

What does this person mean?

But these are not war years after all.

For reasons of international image, Zhang Xingyang restrained his desire to watch them lively.

Start thinking of ways to save these humans who are not related to you.

This does not mean that he can tolerate the other party's desire to pay at will.

After a tense meeting of less than an hour.

Zhang Xingyang successfully took over the command of this mission from the white man on the opposite side.

They even got a bunch of real-time data feeds from the space station.

This is also to allow the manned spacecraft to successfully complete the docking when the time comes.

No data, just connect directly.

That's a disaster.

It was impossible for Zhang Xingyang to let the other party take control of the manned spacecraft.

Anyway, the control right now is in your own hands.

They don't have any options available to them other than the Dragon Kingdom.

No one can complete a rocket carrying a spacecraft and launch it.

Now all they can ask for is Dragon Kingdom's manned spacecraft.

After finishing the meeting.

Zhang Xingyang said to the staff in the ground flight control center:

"This is a test and an opportunity for us."

"Whether our automatic docking technology can perform better depends on this time."

NASA has sent them a lot of data.

Including position information, speed information, attitude information, etc. of the International Space Station.

Every piece of information is detailed.

It's impossible not to go into detail, unless NASA intentionally wants their people to die.

However, Zhang Xingyang believes that this possibility is unlikely.

Because these people are really dead, the negative impact on them will be even greater!

The Beidu Flight Control Center quickly became busy.

All personnel who were already off duty have also been recalled.

Start working through the night.

The ground flight control center began to command the manned spacecraft through space communication satellites.

The manned spacecraft began to separate autonomously.

The three astronauts inside the space station all stood in front of the portholes and looked at the manned spacecraft that was gradually moving away from the spacecraft.

"I don't know if they can save a few people inside the International Space Station?"

"I believe they have good luck and they should be able to survive."

"It's time, get ready to rest."

They had a clear schedule, and it was bedtime.

Several people got into their sleeping bags hung on the bulkhead.

The construction of the space station has not been completed at this time, and they do not have a dedicated sleeping cabin yet.

Every time I sleep, I sleep in a sleeping bag fixed to the wall.

Otherwise, it is easy to float around in the cabin while sleeping.

Just when they fell asleep.

Everyone in the ground flight control center is busy.

This time their task was unprecedentedly difficult.

The main reason is that they are not familiar with the target parameters of docking.

Although NASA has tried its best to transmit various data in real time.

However, there is still a certain degree of delay and error.

"We need to maintain the relative speed of the spacecraft at zero, this is the most important thing!"

Zhang Xingyang said after reading the connection plan given by the other party.

As for the relative distance requirements, they are not that high.

Between 0.2 meters and 2 meters, they can meet their docking requirements.

The manned spacecraft is under the operation of the flight control center.

Soon it entered a huge elliptical orbit.

The highest point is 300 kilometers and the lowest point is 180 kilometers.

After this, the spacecraft will enter a nearly circular orbit at its lowest point.

Keep up with the International Space Station.

"Pay attention to slow down!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at a series of data on the big screen while directing the operator to control the propulsion system of the spacecraft.

The manned spacecraft is very fast.

In order to rendezvous with the International Space Station as soon as possible.

The manned spacecraft has begun using precious fuel originally intended for return to Earth.

After this mission, this manned spacecraft will definitely be unusable.

When the time comes, it will be necessary to launch another manned spacecraft.

All of these additional expenses will be paid by the International Space Station project team.

In this matter, Zhang Xingyang was not polite to them.

He directly threw out an extremely huge number and asked the other party to accept it.

This amount of money is almost the entire year's expenditure on the International Space Station project.

But at this time, they had no choice.

He could only accept Zhang Xingyang's conditions.

This is also one of the prerequisites for rescue.

After less than two hours of orbit change.

The Shenzhou manned spacecraft finally reached the orbit of the International Space Station and began to slow down in preparation for rendezvous.

In space, deceleration can only be achieved through reverse thrust rockets.

It also consumes a lot of fuel.

But no one cared about it at this time.

Everyone wants to complete docking with the International Space Station as soon as possible.

Their time is running out, less than 6 hours left.

In these 6 hours, if the orbital height cannot be raised smoothly.

Then really, we can only fall into the atmosphere.

Fortunately, the thrust system of the manned spacecraft is not bad.

The accuracy is also high enough.

Even with data delays.

After adjusting twice, the flight speed is consistent with the International Space Station.

Then slowly approach it to less than half a meter away from the International Space Station.

Next is the most important step.

Astronauts on the International Space Station need to perform a spacewalk.

Connect the rigidly connected ropes to the space station and manned spacecraft respectively.
