Day 5 (14) Outlaws
"Mai Dong...... Miss! Miss Mai Dong! Hear it, please answer! Hear it, please answer! β
I don't know how long it took, the space station had entered the shadows on the far side of Mars, and a short night of forty minutes had fallen, Mai Dong turned on the lights in the cabin slightly, and a rapid call suddenly came out of the headphones, and the sound was very clear.
Mai Dong looked up suddenly.
"Mr. Cat?"
"It's me, the situation is urgent, I won't say more nonsense, listen to every word I say clearly!" The old cat spoke very quickly, and there was a rapid crackling sound in the background, and it was conceivable that it was talking while rapidly typing on the keyboard, "Listen to Mai Dong, there are five minutes and forty seconds left, and the Eagle spacecraft is about to rendezvous with the United Space Station!" Are you in the Crystal's core module right now? β
Mai Dong was taken aback by the sudden news.
There are more than five minutes left, and the Eagle spacecraft is about to dock with the United Space Station?
"Uh-huh-mm-mmmm The girl pressed the headphones and nodded busily.
She didn't know how the old cat had restored communication, could it be that the sandstorm over Kunlun Station had weakened again? The calls in the channel were very clear and stable, the current murmur was almost gone, and such a high call quality had not been seen since the Sandstorm began.
"The Eagle spacecraft has entered orbit apogee! Get ready for a track change! We want to get it right the first time! The old cat said, "Now turn on MR!" β
βMRοΌβ
"Microwave radar! Turn on the microwave radar! β
"Pico-Microwave Radar ......"
Mai Dong was in a hurry.
"Are you on the side of the porthole? Look at your top left, there's a gray control panel with the Boeing logo on it, and the white abbreviation RAD, do you see? Damn, girl, hurry up...... Tang Yue, that kid is dying......"
"White English abbreviation...... RADβ¦β¦ See, see, see! I found it! Mai Dong floated up and grabbed the handle on the panel, "Mr. Cat, what did you just say?" What happened to Mr. Tang Yue? β
"Don't talk irrelevant nonsense! You've found the control system, haven't you? Okay, now turn on the red switch on the right side of the panel! Listen, the Eagle spacecraft is about to enter the remote guidance stage, and I will teach you how to operate it! Do what I say, one step at a time, and don't go wrong at all! Did you hear me clearly? β
The girl nodded solemnly.
"Hear me."

Kunlun Station.
The storm raged.
The old cat felt that Tang Yue was really a madman, Mai Dong didn't know why the contact suddenly returned to normal, she thought that the intensity of the sandstorm had decreased, but in fact, the wind speed had not decreased at all, as the cyclone low pressure area gradually moved away, the wind speed began to rise wildly again, and now it has risen to forty meters per second, and Kunlun Station can't see five fingers.
The reason why the old cat was able to reconnect with the space station was because of Tang Yue.
The neurotic said that he promised to let the old cat contact the Eagle spacecraft before the next orbit change window came, and the old cat thought that he was a bold scene, because no one could guarantee to contact the lander in such weather conditions, who knew that he really did.
"Tang Yue! Tang Yue, can you hear me? How's the situation on your side, can you still hold on? β
"The situation...... Not bad! I can still hold on, you don't have to worry about me, and concentrate on the docking of the Eagle spacecraft with the space station! β
Tang Yue shouted in the channel, he was wearing bright light armor, standing in the darkness against the storm.
"Hell!"
The old cat scolded in a low voice, if something really happened to Tang Yue at this moment, it would not have time to rush to the rescue.
Tang Yue's location was not at the door of Kunlun Station.
Instead, on the edge of the garage a hundred meters away, he stood behind a Martian stray dog with a huge communication antenna strapped to his body.
This is Tang Yue's method, the small antenna for emergency backup is too weak, he decided to reactivate the Kunlun station's own communication antenna, the latter is a big guy more than two meters high, strong power, can keep in touch in the storm, it was blown down by the wind in the sandstorm and lost its effect.
The old cat didn't think about erecting this big antenna again, but this antenna is placed on the edge of the garage, too far away from Kunlun Station, if you want to start the antenna, you have to go to the garage, a distance of 100 meters, the old cat may not be able to come back when he goes out, and other people are simply dead ends in the past.
Tang Yue, the second goods, while singing "Katyusha" and "Unity is Strength", touched it, he firmly tied one end of the safety rope to the hatch of the airlock, reconnected the data cable of the antenna, and then crawled and rolled in the dark storm for more than forty minutes, the old cat almost thought he died in the sandstorm, but in the end Tang Yue still arrived at the garage.
Immediately after Tang Yue drove the Martian stray dog out, used the tall body of the Mars rover as a windshield, and then erected a communication antenna, in the wind speed of forty meters per second, the antenna was completely unable to support, so Tang Yue firmly tied the antenna to himself, and used his weight of more than 140 catties and 120 catties of Mingguang armor as a human bracket to resist the raging sandstorm.
This madman is really dying.
Outlaws through and through.
"...... You're going to give me back alive! β
The old cat stared at the screen, Tang Yue created unprecedented communication conditions for him, and the Eagle spacecraft and the United Space Station continuously transmitted real-time data to the computer of the Kunlun Station.
Tang Yue has fulfilled his promise, he has done what he said, now it's up to the old cat...... Because they gave up the plan of changing orbits twice and only changed orbits once, the difficulty of control increased sharply, and the attitude control of acceleration and deceleration must be just right, and the timing must be accurately grasped.
The old cat, the old driver, has to control the Russian-made tractor overhead, let the RD-0172 rocket engine carry the Eagle spacecraft on a super big drift, change lanes at high speed, and accurately reverse into storage! The distance deviation during docking should not exceed 300 mm, and the angle deviation should not exceed 5 degrees, which is very difficult to operate, but it is difficult to resist the legendary Akinayama stroller car god!
The Eagle spacecraft is getting closer to the space station, and the two artificial spacecraft are flying in a vacuum, although they are close to each other, but in fact they are in completely different orbits, they come from different directions and go in different directions, and if this window is missed, the distance between the lander and the space station will quickly widen.
The old cat should seize this opportunity.
It's going to get the Eagle spacecraft into orbit on the space station!
The computer's timer has been synced and the countdown begins.
Countdown to five seconds.
The old cat slowly squinted, paws on the keyboard, fingers slowly applying pressure, and the two cursors on the screen flashed one after the other.
Countdown to three seconds.
The lander flew to an apogee.
Countdown to two seconds.
The space station enters perigee.
Countdown to a second!
The old cat pressed the start button, the moment the button was pressed, the system computer of the Kunlun station transmitted the electrical signal to the antenna through the cable, and the communication antenna shot the modulated radio waves into the air, and the electromagnetic waves passed through the Martian atmosphere hundreds of kilometers thick at the speed of light, and entered the receiver of the relay satellite within 0.06 seconds, and after 0.02 seconds, the relay satellite changed the direction of the signal, and sent the old cat's instructions to the Eagle spacecraft from a distance of more than 100,000 kilometers.
The Eagle spacecraft was ordered, and the RD-0172 engine was ignited! Start changing tracks!
