Fly into the universe, the vastness.

The universe is not only vast, but it is still silent to the human ear.

There is no noise on the ground, and there are no rows of barrages, only spacecraft in constant motion.

The International Space Station flew over, the Tiangong Space Station flew over, the Star Inn where the orbital shuttle was docked flew over, and the inflatable space station that was being renovated also flew over.

Originally, mankind did not have any plans for an Earth orbiting space station in the near future, even if there was a plan for a commercial space station, at least a few months later, but immediately a space station core module flew over, and then it was a manned spacecraft that was slightly smaller than itself.

However, this spacecraft is not an Earth-orbiting space station, but a lunar orbital space station, and it is not even a specially launched lunar space station project, but a lunar space station built by the way while carrying out a manned mission to the moon.

Seeing the combination of the new manned spacecraft and the lunar orbit core module circling around the earth's orbit, all the items were self-checked, and looking at the green checkmark, the Yuanhang super-heavy rocket ignited and took off.

The upgraded Long March 9 rocket has a lunar orbital transport capacity of nearly 60 tons, and it is easy to use the recovery mode to transport a new manned spacecraft and a lunar orbit core module combination of less than 50 tons.

The Yuanhang super-heavy rocket is not good, its lunar orbit transportation capacity is only 45 tons, and it can only send the Lunar Rocket, which weighs more than 40 tons.

The orbital docking is very smooth, and Tianxia's automatic docking technology has always been very clever, even if there is a pilot now, because of the use of unified standards, the synchronization rate on both sides can reach 100%.

Even because of the addition of the Navigator, the purity of this "100%" is higher, and the docking process is easier and faster.

When the docking device of the lunar orbit core module captures the docking device of the lunar spacecraft, the two sides lock and freeze, and then slowly close to the fit, and finally determine that the connection is closed without gaps, which will not cause loss of pressure and air leakage, and the docking procedure is completed.

【Docking successful!】 】

When the logo was displayed on the screen, the four astronauts on the manned spacecraft breathed a sigh of relief.

The four astronauts who landed on the moon for this mission were all carefully selected elite astronauts who trained in teams for this mission to the moon, and the training program was more than the original Merriken astronaut program on the moon, after all, they were going to stay on residence this time, not to stay for two days and then come back.

Cheng Dong is the commander of this mission, he is the second batch of astronauts in Tianxia, and he has carried out the on-site mission of the space laboratory, and the reason why he served as the commander of this mission to the moon is because of his age.

He is 43 years old this year, which is the golden age of astronauts, and his experience, qualifications, physical condition, etc., are very suitable.

After all, the age of the first batch of astronauts is generally close to 60 years old, so it cannot be said that they cannot go into space, but most of them have changed to teaching or administrative work, and some have retired due to physical reasons.

This time I went to the moon, it is far away from the protection of the earth's magnetic field, and it has no magnetic field protection ability, so the impact on the human body is much greater than that of near-earth space, and the first astronauts who are close to 60 years old are really not suitable for the mission.

The deputy commander is a female astronaut, the second batch of astronauts like Cheng Dong, also 43 years old, she has participated in manned space missions and has rich experience in space flight.

The chief and deputy commanders are all astronaut brigades from the Air Force, and they are the second batch of astronauts, and the remaining two are not from the Air Force, they belong to the third batch of astronauts who are more professional.

Peng Zizhen, 36, was a geologist before being selected for the third batch of astronauts, and the purpose of letting him participate in this mission to the moon is quite clear.

Whether it is to study the moon itself, to study the mineral resources around the landing site, or to determine the reserves of water ice, etc., it can be used.

The last, Tong Anfu, is the youngest of the four, only 34 years old, and is a mechanical engineer.

This mission to the moon was unlike any before, they would be on the moon for a long time, with an initial plan of two months, and then a rotation would begin.

In addition to the daily maintenance of the Yuegong-2 survival module and the Moon, he also has a lot of modification work.

Last time, Yuegong-2 brought eight lunar rovers to the space, which can be remotely controlled by the ground, or they can be detected by themselves according to the mission target, with a weight of 500 kilograms, which is used to find water and explore the moon.

Now that the astronauts are coming, it is impossible for the astronauts to travel by jumping, which is too slow, so they have paid attention to these lunar rovers.

With a few modifications, they can be turned into buses and trucks, which are suitable for people and goods.

The walking speed of these lunar rovers is calculated in centimeters when they perform their missions autonomously, and meters when they are controlled by ground personnel, and when they are driven by real people, they can be calculated according to the speed of the earth's vehicles.

Of course, don't expect them to reach speeds of up to hundreds of kilometers per hour, with the gravity of the moon, even if the highway is built, it is impossible to reach that speed.

If it is a little fast, it is easy to float, and if it floats, it will overturn.

Road construction is definitely going to build roads, and the astronauts of Tianxia have gone up, and they will not allow themselves to walk on a rough road every day.

At the very least, a road must be built between the landing site and the water ice mine.

The four of them will not stay in the lunar orbital space station, all of them will land on the moon, and the lunar orbital space station is the mission of the next space station cabin and the resident astronauts.

Four astronauts, each with their own full-time job, each with a lot of crossover work to complete.

No way, four astronauts landed seems like a lot, twice as many as the previous record for a single moon landing, but compared to what they have to do, it is far from enough.

Fortunately, more lunar modules will land in the future, providing a safe place for more astronauts to live and work in the future.

After Cheng Dong reported on the mission and said a few words to the audience who were watching the live broadcast all over the world, the spacecraft assembly adjusted its attitude, and the manned spacecraft ignited and carried them to the moon.

The excitement on the earth has nothing to do with them, except for a few interactions with netizens before departure, the rest of the time is to contact the ground control center.

After fully entering orbit and the manned spacecraft no longer accelerating, they can finally get out of their seats and move.

At the same time, they have to go through the gate to the core module of the lunar orbit and the moon to have a look.

Especially the Lunar Run, they had trained in the fantasy space, but it was virtual, not the equipment they were going to ride when they officially landed on the moon.

"Alright, let's get started, check the items that need to be checked first."

After opening the gate between the manned spacecraft and the lunar orbit core module, Cheng Dong was the first to float in.

"Understood." The other three replied.

Because of the appearance of the fantasy space, coupled with the cooperation of NASA and the Navigator, they can do a lot of training in the fantasy space, and it is a simulated weightlessness training, so they are now not only clear about all the corners of the lunar orbit core module, this weightlessness has not affected them much.

It stands to reason that the Moonshot is similar, not to mention training, they have dismantled this spaceship three times in the fantasy space, and they are naturally familiar with it.

But when they finished checking the core module, opened the hatch and entered the cockpit of the Moon, and successfully checked until they reached the exit and saw the extravehicular spacesuits placed on both sides, they realized that something was wrong.

"Ah......h

"Captain, is this different from our training extravehicular spacesuit?"

"Captain, does the extravehicular spacesuit look like this?"

"Captain, are you sure it's a spacesuit, not a ...... Power armor? ”

The four astronauts were stunned, because the "spacesuit" in front of them was a little strange, the color could match, the classic spacesuit was white, but it was not covered with the kind of fabric of the regular spacesuit, there were no classic fabric folds, but pieces of hard shell.

Of course, if you want to say that it is plate armor, it may be more appropriate.
