Wang Peng is walking in space with a high-definition camera. "Arc Eagle [-]" is the most unique of the entire Arc Eagle series of aerospace transport aircraft. It is not designed to transport materials, but to carry people.

At this moment, the transport plane was flying at a distance of 100 meters from the huge No. [-] core module of Xinggang and was flying at a [-]% synchronization rate. Countless audiences on the earth saw another shocking scene through Liu Peng's first perspective.

I saw a white cable half as thick as an arm slowly floating out from the orbiting star port, stretching straight towards "Arc Eagle Nine".

Many people wonder what is this for?Didn't it say that "Arc Eagle [-]" has multiple astronauts?

The scene is [-] meters away from the star port and keeps flying synchronously. How to send the astronauts in the transport plane to the star port?Soon, the audience will know the answer.

Just when the white cable was about to approach the transport plane, the cockpit of "Arc Eagle [-]" sank slowly, and there was no cargo compartment at the core of the plane, but a closed circular hatch .

Wang Peng adjusted the focal length of the camera to enlarge the viewing distance, and the audience clearly saw that the annular hatch was opened, and an astronaut in a blue space suit came out. He stood beside the hatch and followed closely. The second Also come out of it.

In the cabin of the transport plane, Li Linfei and Xiao Rui were both wearing spacesuits, and they were queuing up to get out of the cabin one by one.

"Professor Lin, it's your turn." Li Linfei saw that he was the only one left in front of him, and when he heard the voice in the communicator, it was the astronaut who was speaking outside the cabin.

He nodded slightly, and gently pushed back with the help of the wall in the cabin, and the whole person floated slowly to the hatch, and the astronauts outside the cabin stretched out their hands.

Li Linfei slowly flew out of the cabin in a weightless environment, realizing the first spacewalk in his life.

"This starry sky is so charming." He said with emotion.

Zooming in on the viewing distance, through Wang Peng's first perspective, countless spectators and even some aerospace practitioners all exclaimed, only eight people completed the spacewalk intensively at the same time.

And grabbed the white cable together, the other end of the orbiting star port, that is, the entrance, was Wang Feng impressively.

After receiving the order, he clicked a few times on the display panel beside him.The cable began to be retracted steadily, dragging the eight astronauts or scientists who grabbed the cable and slowly flew to the starport. Is this the way to complete the landing at the starport?

This was beyond everyone's expectations. They originally thought it was going to be rendezvous and docking.

Many aerospace agencies all exclaimed, is Huaxia's spacewalking technology so mature?

After completing the transportation of passengers, Arc Eagle [-]'s mission has ended and began to return to Earth.

Li Linfei and other eight astronauts or scientists entered the Starport one after another under the support of Wang Feng.

The live broadcast ended here. Three hours later, an even more shocking picture appeared, but it was a pity that ordinary people could not see it.

In the middle and lower parts of the Tiangong Circum-orbit Star Port, which presents the shape of "Yu", two huge trusses carry a large number of space capsules or inflatable space capsules and other materials tied to the trusses.

At this moment, it is separating from the orbiting starport. The total length of the two trusses exceeds 800 meters. If it is extended, the maximum length will exceed a kilometer, which is more than twice the length of a large aircraft carrier.

Many of the trusses are bound to the truss like shrinkable airbags, and like the suction cups on the limbs of the octopus. The "suction cups" are wrapped with materials, which is the "beam inflatable space capsule".

At this moment, it is in a contracted state, and no gas is injected, because it is not yet the right time.

In one-third of the truss, two spaceships are fixed, forming a diameter of 145 meters long, rotating slowly. The two spaceships are similar to the outline of a matrix-shaped flat style. The two spaceships are landing An important vehicle for Mars.

Such an alien outline is designed according to the thin atmosphere and gravity of Mars. Landing on Mars must be a hard landing.

At this moment, the two spaceships are respectively fixed on the main truss by two 30-meter-long slender alloy brackets, and the resistance in space can be ignored.

The alloy bracket looks very slender and very long, but it holds the two vehicles landing on Mars extremely firmly.

The end of the truss is a centrifugal cabin, which is not activated at the moment. In addition, the central part of the truss is the core cabin. At present, Li Linfei and other 11 astronauts or scientists are already in the core cabin.

In addition to Li Linfei and Xiao Rui, several top astronauts including Liu Jiang and Wang Feng are also among them.

They are all part of 11 people who are going to Mars.

That's right, this truss object with a length of more than 400 meters is the "Firefly". Regardless of its current appearance, it is a straight bachelor with various materials tied to the truss.

And when it reaches the orbit of Mars, it will undergo earth-shaking changes, turning into an extremely complex space station just like a Transformer.

The "beam inflatable space capsule" "packed" on the truss will be fully inflated, making this "bachelor" extremely full.

At this moment, "Firefly" seems to be a straight stick more than 400 meters long, and another artificial celestial body formed by a huge and large truss presents a "T" shape, and it also has its own name "Mars Express". .

Chapter 180 Departure to Mars

If Li Linfei and others and Yinghuo want to reach Mars, they cannot do without the Mars Express. It is like a traction locomotive, serving as the core source of transportation power.

After the two trusses separated from the orbital star port, they began to change orbits synchronously, and the distance between them and the star port became larger and larger. At this time, the two trusses began to meet and dock, and finally merged into one.

If an outsider sees it, they will definitely not understand. After the two trusses are combined into one, the tail of the "Firefly" is just a centrifugal cabin, and the middle part does not have a large-diameter engine nozzle like the "Noah".

There are only a few small engine nozzles at the ends of the wings, so where is the main engine?

Those small engines, just by looking at their calibers, we can see that they can't bear much thrust. It is estimated that they are only used to regulate the space station above Mars to maintain a stable orbit. It is impossible to put "Firefly" and "Mars Express " to Mars.

Since the "Mars Express" is acting as a locomotive, it is natural to take the "Firefly" to Mars, but this man-made aircraft does not have any main engine propulsion nozzles, which is really incredible.

The secret lies in the "one" shape at the beginning of the "T" shape of the "Mars Express", which is 260 meters long and 108 meters wide at its widest point.

It was a leaf-shaped space giant light sail made of alloy brackets.

However, this area is only as big as it is after contracting. When it is fully expanded, it will present an even larger giant light sail in the shape of a leaf.

Three hours later, the centrifuge cabin that creates gravity was officially in operation, and Liu Jiang served as the main pilot of the Mars Express.

Three and a half hours later, Mars Express officially left Earth orbit with the Firefly space station for the first acceleration.

At this moment, Mars is almost the furthest distance from the current Earth, and at this moment it is estimated that the American "Noah" is about to arrive at Mars, and it has been almost two months since they set off.

As far as the current distance between the earth and Mars is concerned, it is estimated that it will take 160 days to reach Mars from the earth at the speed of Noah (the plot needs to shorten the number of days, the actual time is more than 800 days), a one-way journey is short But it will take nearly half a year.

But the fact is that Li Linfei and the others did choose to start at this time period, not only at this point in time.

And to complete the goal of sailing a distance of more than 7 million kilometers and reaching Mars within [-] days.

What is the current speed of human rocket propulsion?The speed is about 5 kilometers per hour, and the goal of completing 100 million kilometers within 7 days is a fantasy to outsiders. It is an impossible task. It takes more than 20 minutes to travel such a distance at the speed of light. time.

Of course, this is only in the eyes of outsiders, only in terms of rocket propulsion, and the "Mars Express" is not propelled by rockets.

At 4 hours and 37 minutes, the giant sail of the "Mars Express" far away from the earth was officially launched in space. This "leaf" gradually stretched from the longest length of less than 300 meters, and finally reached an incredible 8 kilometers. length.

There are three layers of giant light sails with such an exaggerated length, and the distance between each layer of light sails is only 48 meters, which looks like one layer from a distance.

When the giant light sail of Mars Express is unfolded, it looks like a flat boat in the universe.

At this time, the thousands of sets of lasers surrounding the truss at the center of the Mars Express truss began to operate, and the amethyst with high energy reserves inside the aircraft provided stable energy output for these thousands of sets of lasers.

In the field of laser technology, Huaxia has already outdone the Americans, and it is interpreted here again.

The Tomahawk base has been researching laser technology, and Bai Hua is also researching. Although he failed to create a light laser attack weapon in a sci-fi war movie, conventional lasers have been applied here.

When the energy of the amethyst crystal in the spaceship's energy supply system is madly outputting high-purity energy, thousands of sets of lasers in the shape of a ring honeycomb irradiate 33 laser beams of particle streams towards the super light sail at the front.
