When Enterprise, or Enterprise, flew out of Earth's orbit and flew to Mars, although it took six astronauts, it could not take away the enthusiasm of the earthlings.

Yes, when Merrican announced the name of the Martian spacecraft, many people cheered.

"Enterprise" or "Enterprise", the English name translates similarly, and its reputation is becoming more and more prosperous as Merrican's sci-fi film and television works sweep the world.

After all, in many works, it is the protagonist ship, the name of the most powerful battleship.

There happens to be a series of science fiction movies with this name for the protagonist ship, and the protagonists drive it to scare aliens, from beginning to end, so it is self-evident that this Mars mission gave it this name.

[Expedition to Mars!] 】

[Defeat the aliens!] 】

Tsk, these topics sound very emotional.

Although the Miracle Space Agency said that this was a scientific research mission, no one believed it anymore, and it was said that there was no mission to Mars before, but now isn't it coming?

Now it's about scientific research tasks, what about liars?

What do astronauts with an all-military background do for scientific research missions?

And quite a few insiders revealed that this time they brought weapons!

There's nothing more to say, the first war of human civilization against an alien civilization will start in a few months!

"Good guy, I'm so good guy! This mission is so exciting, this is the space mission that most people like to watch, not just competing with alien stones! ”

"That's it, who wants to see scientists digging stones and dirt on Mars, we want to watch interstellar wars!"

"Are you afraid that you are stupid, you know 'war' every day, and it is up to you whether human civilization and alien civilization will start a war or not? Why don't you go to war yourself? ”

"I think it's better not to start a war easily, it seems that those aliens don't have any foreign aid now, but who knows if their fleet is heading towards the solar system, why should humans give themselves some room for maneuver, right?"

"Human beings have a fart room for maneuver, human beings have only opened a small base on the moon now, and we can't go anywhere when the alien fleet comes, if we don't take advantage of the current time to arrest those four aliens as hostages, and by the way, squeeze out their alien technology, what do we humans rely on to resist the alien fleet?"

While everyone was clamoring for the aliens to take a look at it, others popped up, and in this case, little Armstrong was the leader.

As the "exposer" who revealed alien information to the outside world and tore the blackout cloth of the Merrican government, Armstrong Jr. fled to Maozi's side, and although he was banned by Merrican, his reputation grew.

Especially in the alien realm.

Now he is not just a "reveal", as a Merrican, he plays identity politics quite well, and he has now joined the team of "X-lovers", and led the "alien lovers" group into the team, and got a fairly high position.

Plus now that the topic of aliens has been brought back up, his influence is gradually increasing.

As soon as he spoke, many fans clamoured.

"Don't attack those four aliens directly, right? It's already pitiful for them to be in the solar system, why should we do this to them, we should be friends with them, and then exchange technology, so that there is a harmonious interstellar relationship. ”

"That is, Mars is not our human race in the first place, Mars is the home of aliens, and we are disturbing to go there!"

"Aliens have not harmed humans, they are the most peace-loving race, and the detection equipment of human beings rushed directly to people's homes, and it is strange that they are not shot down, after all, planes from other countries on the earth cannot fly casually in another country."

"That's right, humans are really a disgusting race, I hope that the aliens will come over quickly, only the alien world is free, I want to go to the real free world."

Balabala, there is never a shortage of "opponents" in the world, people who have such ideas, people who have other ideas, and ideas are still opposites.

When those people saw such a statement, they should of course go back as soon as possible.

"Good fellow, it's the 'Alien Lovers', you should learn from your peers and go to the route between Earth and Mars to stop the Enterprise."

"Actually, I'm in favor of using force on aliens, but why do I think Merrican is going to make a mess of this mission?"

"Your feeling is not wrong, because science fiction movies are all played like this, the first contact with extraterrestrial civilizations will be a failure, and the protagonist team will come out to save the world only after some people die."

"Isn't there already a mess? And it was the navigator of Tianxia who messed up, what does it have to do with Merrican? ”

"That's right, Merrican is the one who is being bullied, its rover was robbed, and the Navigator's helicopter took the initiative to provoke the aliens, that is, let the aliens rob it, lose scientific research equipment, and destroy the potential friendly relationship between humans and aliens, it is the character who messes things up."

"I think so too, otherwise why wouldn't the Navigator dare to send a spacecraft to Mars this time? Apparently scared! ”

"Although I feel a little strange that the Navigator didn't send a spacecraft to Mars this time, the Navigator didn't offend you, right, what do you say?"

"Didn't you believe that they were all hiding missions? Why is it now conclusive that the Navigator is not ready for the mission? ”

The voyage of the Enterprise Mars spacecraft has sparked much discussion beyond that, as well as the orbital refueling that took place this time.

With the completion of the construction of the Tianting Space Station Industrial Zone, the Worker Bee Spacecraft and the Lunar Spacecraft began to get busy, busy consuming fuel on one side and transporting fuel on the other.

The big canisters in the industrial area were finally filled with the moon-going spacecraft, after all, its cargo capacity is not good, it is just a general-purpose spaceship with average technology.

Although this "general technology" is not available in other countries, but ...... Really so-so.

After the fuel tank is filled, the two worker bee spaceships and the little bit that is replenished for maintenance are simply "sprinkled with water~"

Basically, it doesn't take much.

The refueling of the "Enterprise Starship" is a full-power refueling, a test of the refueling station, and the success of this refueling is also an affirmation of the refueling station.

Proving that it is indeed capable of refueling large space vehicles.

And Merrican chose to refuel at the refueling station this time, instead of launching from the ground by itself, and replenishing it again and again, which also shows that the cost of the refueling station is relatively cheap.

The most important thing is that if the refueling station can be functioning properly, then space agencies that want to conduct deep space exploration can choose the new solution later.

There is no need to bring the equipment together with the fuel, only an empty equipment needs to be brought up, and the fuel can be replenished at the filling station.

The weight of the "empty shell device" is much lighter, and there is no longer a need for a large rocket, and the cost and difficulty are absolutely reduced.

Very friendly to latecomer space agencies and companies.

For example, it is relatively difficult for an airplane to land in a well-built airport, but it is too difficult to land directly in the wilderness.

The orbital fuel supply station can be used normally, and there are customers who have verified it, and it is still a customer of the relationship between Tianxia and Merrican, which is enough to prove its reliability, but its influence is still not as good as that of a manned spacecraft to Mars.

Many people still feel that they are looking forward to it in vain, and they feel that the leader still has less time to develop, and it is not as good as Merriken, which has strong technical accumulation.

Although some of the techniques are outstanding, they still pull their hips at such a critical moment.

Pity.

Ordinary netizens don't think about the deep meaning, and they feel like they understand the whole world when they look at the surface.

The navigator didn't mean to slap him in the face, it was just going according to his own plan, and some people just happened to bump into it.

And the Navigator also has to fulfill the official promise to Tianxia, that is, "even if Merriken flies for a month first, the Navigator's spacecraft can still reach Mars first".

So on the second day of the noisy day, the Navigator began a new space launch mission.

It was still the Yishan rocket that took the girder, or it was not announced in advance what the load was, and in the end, the cargo compartment was opened, and it was a rotating simulated gravity cabin in a contracted state.

Everyone: "??? ”

This sense of déjà vu......

Turn back the clock?

Impossible?

"Hey, what is Navigator Aerospace for? Is it our group that has traveled back in time? ”

"No way, time hasn't changed, and isn't the medium-sized rotating simulated gravity capsule that was carried up by the Yishan rocket spinning in the industrial area? The Enterprise spacecraft was also photographed when it was refueling. ”

"That's right, could it be that the plan of the Heavenly Court Space Station has been changed again? Add another simulated gravity rotation chamber? ”

"Changed again? In fact, it is not bad to have one more simulated gravity cabin, and if there are more simulated gravity cabins, the experience price should be reduced, and maybe I can spend money to experience it. ”

The first day passed in the midst of this discussion, and the navigator did not say anything, except to recover the Yishan rocket, which was then inspected and prepared for the next launch.

During this period, the newly launched simulation module did not move, did not unfold, and did not dock with any space facilities, just hovering several kilometers away from the industrial area of the Tianting space station.

Ordinary people really don't dare to play like this in space, except that the spaceship or the module sent up will be so close when docking, and then docking, who will usually let a big guy fly a few kilometers away?

Although the distance between the two is "static", but what if?

In case of an accident and a sudden impact, it is really difficult to dodge from a distance of several kilometers in space.

In outer space, a few kilometers is no different from "next to each other".

The navigator dares to play like this.

Only dare to play like this if you have absolute confidence in your equipment and absolute control over your surroundings.

Then, things got more and more magical.

Not only the Yishan rocket was dispatched, but even the half-retired Yuanhang rocket was dispatched.

Segment by section of the capsule was transported up and docked with a medium-sized simulated gravity rotation capsule.

There is a comparison between the Yishan launch vehicle and the Yuanhang rocket, and it can be seen that these cabins are very large.

The diameter of the cabin transported by the Yishan carrier is more than 10 meters, and the diameter of the cabin carried by the Yuanhang rocket must also be about 7 meters.

Look at the ...... It seems to be a condensed version of the "Heavenly Court Space Station".

There was a simulated gravity ring cabin, and the cabins docked on both sides of the ring cabin were on a straight axis, and later a node cabin with multiple docking interfaces was added, as well as several large cans.

The four idle docking ports of the node module were docked with two landing spacecraft and two landing living modules.

All four of these things have engine mouth sprays, so they must have something to do with landing or landing.

People looked for something that could be used as a reference, and found that it was similar to the living module of the lunar base and the lunar landing ship.

Let's take a look at this condensed version of the "Heavenly Court"......

"Got it! This is the lunar space station! ”

"Yes, I think so too, you look at this rotating cabin, look at these cabins, it must be the experimental cabin, and the berthing port, as well as the living module and landing ship on the berth, it must be the new version of the lunar survival module and the lunar landing ship, and the last big canisters, that is the fuel supply station, this proper and simplified version of the Heavenly Court space station! Tianxia and the Navigator are definitely going to expand the lunar base, and by the way, improve the lunar space station. ”

"Well, Tianxia already has several small space station cabins in lunar orbit, which can be called a streamlined Tiangong in lunar orbit, and now that the big space station has come out, it will form a streamlined heaven court with a streamlined Tiangong, which is exactly the same as the previous Tianxia space station combination model!"

"Wait, why are they building a lunar space station in Earth orbit? What are they going to use to transport it to lunar orbit? ”

"Needless to say, of course, it's with thrusters, as long as it is equipped with thrusters, it can fly to the lunar orbit by itself, and the fuel supply station can also supply itself with fuel, the navigator is really a little clever ghost~"

Sure enough, after that, the navigator sent a large thruster and docked to the "rearmost edge" of the "space station".

"This ...... Equipped with thrusters, this thruster compares with the size of the main body, and this becomes a spaceship? ”

“……？”

By the way, isn't this just a spaceship?

Everyone looked at the current "space station" again, and saw several huge cabins on an axis, so that it formed a balanced and symmetrical structure, and because the cabins are very thick, the overall look is not weak, so this thing will not run all over when accelerated, and it will not be broken by the gravity generated by acceleration Some unreasonably arranged cabins.

Looking at the big thruster again, it seems that it is not a chemical fuel thruster, but a parallel amplified version of the ion engine installed like the "unmanned Martian spacecraft".

“！！！”

"Damn, what a lunar space station, this is a Martian spacecraft! It's an interplanetary spaceship! ”

"It's similar to the sci-fi Martian spaceship in "The Martian", except that this spaceship looks more 'strong', which is not at all comparable to the 'skinny' spaceship in the movie."

"That's too sci-fi, isn't it? With the ion thrusters available, wouldn't it be possible to fly to Mars in two months, like an unmanned Mars spacecraft? ”

"I feel that it may be a month, and the unmanned Mars spacecraft missed the window period before, but this time it is just in time for the window, constantly expending thrust, resisting part of the sun's gravity, and can fly a shorter arc to Mars."

"No wonder I feel that the fuel tank is a little small and small, it turns out that it is not used to support the space station to fly to the moon, but to hold ionization working fluid."

After the Yishan and Yuanhang were recovered, they were pushed back to the factory and will undergo a deep maintenance, and there will be no more high-intensity launch missions for a period of time, which also shows that the spacecraft, or spacecraft, is assembled.

Before the navigator could speak, the big guy had already calculated some of its data.

The diameter of the medium-sized simulated gravity chamber is 50 meters, so the length of the Martian spacecraft reaches about 120 meters.

The diameter of several compartments on the central shaft has reached 12 meters, and the diameter of the engine is close to 20 meters, which can only be carried by the Yishan rocket.

There is also a Mars lander and a Martian living module, the diameter of the lander is almost 7 meters, and the diameter of the survival module has reached 10 meters.

Quite a huge spaceship.

Compared with the Enterprise, which has flown away, with a diameter of only 9 meters and a length of less than 60 meters after the combination of the landing module, it is a real Martian spacecraft.

Immediately after, the navigator finally spoke.

It announced the name of the ship.

"Spore!"

The earth is so small in the universe, like a speck of dust, and human beings, as creatures on the earth, are as small as spores.

But no matter how huge the creature is, it all comes from this small spor.

As long as we give humanity time, we will eventually grow into a behemoth and travel through the even larger starry sky.

And this spaceship is a step for microspores to go to the starry sky, and it is also the first step for human beings to grow.

Fly to another planet and become an interplanetary creature first.
