"Wow, it's really interesting to feel weightless!" Through the sealed gate of the interface, Tang Feng and his party floated into the lunar spacecraft, and of course Tang Feng was emotionally moved by this action in a weightless state.

When docking just now, Tang Feng didn't get up to move, the manned function warehouse was still a little smaller, six people were crowded inside, and the space for activity was already very small, plus the other five people were busy with work, so Tang Feng simply didn't get up and move to make a mess.

Now that it has finally been docked, the core functional module of the lunar spacecraft is very large, at least three times larger than this manned functional module. The six people moved inside, not feeling restrained at all.

Alexander. Comrade Borisov smiled and said in Russian-flavored English: "Don, don't think that this is a good thing, when you get used to this state of weightlessness, and you are still in this state all day long, then you will go crazy!" When I was on the International Space Station, I almost went crazy and blew up the entire space station."

George at the head of the front. Anthony laughed when he heard this, and this was directed at Alexander. Borisov gave a thumbs up, and it was clear that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief agreed very much with Comrade Alexander's feelings.

George. Although Anthony has not lived on the International Space Station for a long time like Alexander and Robin, he has been in space more than ten times, and that weightlessness is naturally very familiar.

And Robin. Corosso also said with a look of apprehension: "Don, Alexander is right, sooner or later you will hate this state of weightlessness!" ”

The three of them are all very qualified astronauts, so it is natural for them to express this common feeling. However, when they actually entered the core function module of the lunar spacecraft, the feeling of venting just now was immediately replaced by another kind of praise.

"This cabin is so beautiful, it's almost like the big living room in my house. Compared with. The ISS is like a small kitchen! "This is Alexander. Comrade Borisov's analogy is indeed very appropriate as the astronaut who has spent the longest time on the International Space Station among the six people.

Although the International Space Station is made up of dozens of components, and the total area inside is not small, the area of each functional compartment is not large, in comparison. The manned functional compartment just now is even larger than the functional compartment of the vast majority of the International Space Station, and it is not surprising that Comrade Alexander has such feelings.

The most important thing is that this lunar spacecraft is manufactured with the most advanced technology, which can be seen from those exquisite CNC panels and various equipment, and the space utilization rate inside the lunar spacecraft is extremely high, and many equipment can be folded up when not in use to save as much space as possible.

So. With a length of 17 meters and a diameter of 4.4 meters, the core function cabin feels quite spacious.

Tang Feng, like the child, turned a few times in the spacious core function warehouse, and several people laughed. Although he didn't do the same action as Du Yun, it could be seen that they also wanted to have a good time. After all, the two of them had only experienced real weightlessness during weightless training, and that kind of training was good in a real weightless environment.

George smiled and said, "Du." You and I go to the nuclear power function chamber and start the nuclear reactor. Han. You and Alexander watch the dots in the core module to see if anything unexpected happens after the nuclear reactor starts. Robin, you go to the power compartment and stare at the point, once the nuclear reactor is working, we are going to do an experimental ignition of the ion thrusters. Han will control the switch of the ion thruster at the main console. You just have to stare at the working state of the ion thrusters. ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Explorer operation, George, like the other four astronauts, has long been familiar with the lunar spacecraft during training on the ground, and the simulated training cabin at the Johnson Space Center is built in a one-to-one ratio of real lunar spacecraft. But it cost Tang Feng millions of dollars!

Du Yun made an OK gesture and followed George in another direction, while Alexander and **** sat in their special seats, and Robin followed George and Du Yun in one direction. As for Tang Feng, who had nothing to do, he floated to the window and looked out through the window.

It is obviously much better to see the Earth from this position than from a manned function chamber. Just now when I was looking at the earth in the manned function module, I could hardly see the whole earth, because at that time the manned function room was still a little closer to the earth. Now, the lunar spacecraft in geosynchronous transfer orbit is more than 300 kilometers away from the nearest point of the earth, so it is natural to enjoy the whole earth from viewing the earth here.

"Oh my God, it's beautiful! Wow, this should be the Yanjing of China, this should be the Pearl River Delta, this should be the Yangtze River Delta" At this time, the lunar spacecraft flew over Asia Huaxia, and at this time, Huaxia was more than three o'clock in the morning, so most places could not be seen clearly, only in a few prosperous areas, can rely on the lights on the ground to barely identify what this place is.

Looking far away, there is a distinct circle of light on the sea level at the other end of the earth, which means that in a few hours, the sun's rays will shine on the land of China, which is still brightly lit.

It feels really wonderful to admire the earth at this height, and it is no wonder that when Russia launched its space tourism program a few years ago, many tycoon-level billionaires rushed to visit space. It's really this kind of scenery is really beautiful, too spectacular, not to mention more than 20 million US dollars in air tickets, even if it is more expensive, it is estimated that there are a lot of rich people waiting to come up.

At this time, George's voice sounded in Tang Feng's headset: "All attention, the nuclear reactor is about to start working, and the countdown is ten seconds, 10, 9, 8"

After the ten-second countdown was over, Tang Feng only heard a low "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded, but in only a few seconds, this buzzing sound disappeared, and the next moment, the lights in the core function cabin were all lit up.

"There is no problem with the circuit, there is no problem with the equipment, and the general control console displays all the indicators normally!" As the second commander, the relevant data was immediately reported.

"Okay, Han, now you can turn on all the devices and check if they are working properly. Robin, after Han is sure that everything is fine, you can start the plasma thruster in ten seconds, and the activation time is twenty seconds! ”

“YESSIR。”

After a few minutes of busyness, the plasma thruster finally began a twenty-second trial operation in a vacuum state, twenty seconds is not a long time, which still involves the fear of increasing the speed of the spacecraft too fast and deliberately controlled, after all, it is not the time to change orbit, and when it is ready to change orbit, it is the time for the plasma thruster to show its might.
