Chapter 350: Space Shuttle Landing

Zhang Zhi didn't expect to encounter the most dangerous situation this time, if he messed up, it would be a shame.

Space junk, which is more than ten meters long, is already a giant among space junk.

Most of them will soon crash to Earth, enter the atmosphere and burn up.

This is a part that has just been discarded, and it has been caught up by itself.

Fortunately, there is a space shuttle, there are means to deal with space junk, if it is other spacecraft. Definitely going to kneel here.

Bai Qing saw this and said in surprise: "How is it, this is a space station accessory jointly established by European and American countries."

It was in disrepair and had been out of service and had been replaced a few months ago.

I thought it had already fallen, but I didn't expect to see it here. ”

Bai Qing said regretfully: "Can you handle it? If you use a robotic arm to deal with large space junk, the small space junk attached to them will also enter through the gap in the hatch."

Destroying the internal structure of your space shuttle is a tiny piece of dust, and at high speeds, it can have considerable kinetic energy. ”

Zhang Zhi looked relaxed and said confidently: "Director Bai, if you wait for a while, you can see the space shuttle's method of dealing with space junk."

This space junk was unexpected to me, but it was only a minor issue. ”

At the same time, on the console of the space base ship, Wu Xia stared at the picture from the space shuttle.

His eyes were solemn, watching the approaching space shuttles and space junk.

He calculated the most suitable distance to shoot, and he knew that this space junk would not cause fatal damage to the space shuttle.

But the critical space shuttle is going to return to Earth, and in the high-speed return, if the shuttle shell is damaged.

There is only one possibility for the space shuttle, and that is to disintegrate in the air.

The form factor of the space shuttle is a proven industrial design, and the absence of any part of it can cause a ripple effect.

Wu Xia saw the space shuttle and space junk and had reached a suitable position.

He gave the space shuttle an order to "turn on the weapons system and prepare for the space junk ahead." Use Option No. 25. Execute Scenario 3 after failure. ”

Wu Ha asked the space shuttle to remove space junk. If it fails, immediately change the orbit and move on to other tracks.

After his order was given, the console received the shuttle, and a crisp female voice was heard.

"After receiving the instruction, the instruction of the second-level authority holder was detected, and the instruction was verified. Now let's get started. ”

Wu Xia knew that this was the core control system of the space shuttle, and the company's most advanced artificial intelligence, intelligent life was carrying out his instructions.

The belly hatch of the shuttle opens, and an umbrella-shaped object pops out of it.

It flew not far from the space junk and began to spin at breakneck speed.

As it turned, a thin net slowly unfolded around, and soon the circular net reached fifty meters later.

The core cylinder has propulsion devices, and they fly slowly but accurately towards the space junk.

The entire web began to fly onto the space junk, covering the main chunks of junk and the rest of the trash scattered around it.

The net crashed into the space junk, and its edges began to close in all directions, as if there was momentum. Slowly wrap this scattered space junk into a whole.

After they form a whole, the gravitational pull acts on the whole, and they cannot stay in this orbit.

It began to fall slowly downward, and the front of the shuttle was clear.

The shuttle began to readjust its flight attitude, and the ionization engine was activated, flying over the space junk. The trajectory is in a beautiful arc.

The shuttle entered a predetermined orbit and flew towards the position of the space base ship.

Bai Qing watched the whole process of the light curtain playing, and he opened his mouth wide in shock.

Don't look at this action is very simple, it seems that a spacecraft can do it.

As an insider, he knows how much technical support is needed to achieve this level.

If simple, the mainstream countries of the world. If you have already cleaned up the garbage in space, how can you let them endanger your own spacecraft.

Bai Qing said with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, I really admire you, I didn't expect you to be able to clean up space junk so happily." The net is made of a special material, and it looks very strong. ”

Zhang Zhi said indifferently: "It's just ordinary carbon fiber." The edge of the net is made of a starchy plastic, a super viscous solid.

We all know that there is no air in the universe, and after the net is resisted, the edge of the net continues to move forward due to inertia.

It wraps the scattered space junk, and the sticky solids at the edges can stick to any object. ”

Bai Qing couldn't help nodding, he knew that Zhang Zhi didn't have a lot of details, but he also understood the general principle.

It's just that this kind of device, they can't be used. This requires sufficient detection capabilities and a flexible spacecraft like the Space Shuttle.

If such a device is launched indiscriminately, it is very easy to bring down a normal satellite.

Bai Qing thought about it, looked at Zhang Zhi, and was stunned.

He asked very curiously: "Mr. Zhang, what kind of material is the starch plastic you are talking about?" ”

Zhang Zhi explained with a smile: "Starch plastic is a newly developed material of our Xingyu Technology, and its cost is relatively low.

This is a series of products, they all have the same primary raw materials, and the properties of the finished products are very different.

The outer shell of this space shuttle is starch plastic, which is very resistant to high temperatures. ”

Bai Qing didn't remember how many times he was shocked, since he visited the launch of Xingyu Technology's space shuttle, his little heart couldn't stand it.

He stammered and said: "Mr. Zhang, do you sell this material? Our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will definitely recommend it, at least our aerospace port is in great demand." ”

Zhang Zhi saw Bai Qing's performance, he was very satisfied, and said with an indifferent expression: "Now the production capacity is insufficient, and we have not yet entered industrial-scale production.

You need it, and I can sell you a small part. I'll give you a copy of the basic properties of the material. ”

Bai Qing saw the details of the materials sent by Zhang Zhi, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

He thought to himself: "These materials are too advanced, if the price is not very high." It will definitely occupy a large market. ”

They sat here, drinking tea, and while he asked Zhang Zhi about the detailed uses of several of the starch plastics, and before he knew it, time passed quickly.

Bai Qing also wanted to talk about it carefully. I heard a roar outside the space base ship.

Someone shouted that the space shuttle had flown back over the space base ship.

They came to the deck and saw the shuttle, already suspended on the space base ship. Slow descent.

After a while, the shuttle landed firmly on the deck of the space base ship.

There were no waves, and the space shuttle quickly completed its mission.

On the console, Wu Xia walked down. Only then did he realize that his clothes were wet. He was so focused that he didn't even notice it.

Poplov looked at the congratulatory voices of his colleagues around him. It let go of its clenched fists, and he was completely integrated into the group.
