"The Eagle lander was successfully docked, the electrical was turned on, and the control was turned on. Mobile"

The old cat raised its paws, and it managed to shift the Eagle ship out of position.

"Okay, Miss Mai Dong, Tang Yue, pay attention, the lander is now docked outside the Hope experimental module, and the hatch is in a state that can be opened."

"Roger, Mr. Cat."

Mai Dong gently pushed the bulkhead, her body floated away from the crystal cabin, and her hand changed direction on the edge of the hatch, living in weightlessness for a long time, the girl has learned how to move most conveniently and effortlessly. She navigated the corridor like a soft mackerel, nimbly avoiding cluttered control panels and cables.

"I hope the lander is reliable enough, and Yang garbled his girlfriend's brother's mentor's eldest nephew's seventh uncle and grandfather, and it was best not to lie to him." Tang Yue propped his hands on the table and stared at the CCTV footage of the space station, "It stands to reason that such a close relative should not fool people casually." ”

"Is this kind of kinship close?" The old cat asked.

"Of course it's close." Tang Yue replied, "Their DNA is more than 99 percent similar to each other. ”

"You're more than 99 percent similar to the DNA of a Ugandan chimpanzee." The old cat said, "So they are also your seventh uncle and grandfather?" Or are you their seventh uncle? Tang Yue: Your relatives are really all over Africa. ”

Mai Dong put on an in-cabin spacesuit, opened the hatch, and got into the command module of the Eagle lander.

The command cabin is small, dimly lit, there are no lights, the seats are all folded, the indicators and displays on the control panel are off, and all portholes are closed.

Since the end of the supply delivery mission, Mai Dong and the three of them haven't bothered much about this thing, thinking that its historical mission has ended and it can retire with honor, but who knows that the veteran will have to fight again and turn the tide.

Mai Dong raised his head and looked around, thought for a few seconds, found the control system of each system, and reached out to turn on the power one by one.

With a faint and muffled "buzz", the long-dormant Eagle spacecraft reawakened, the red-green, and orange-yellow lights lit up in turn, and the console's display resurfaced with the familiar greeting.

“Welcome to the Eagle Lander.”

Mai Dong's hand gently caressed the console, large and small buttons and complex abbreviations, it looked dazzling, the actual manual operating system has never been put into use so far, but every Eagle spaceship will have such a complex set of consoles. Mai Dong lifted up the commander's chair, fastened his seat belt, and tied himself to the chair.

The porthole visor is slowly opening, the sunlight is slanting in, and Mai Dong's eyes are gradually brightening.

Estimating that the temperature had almost risen, Mai Dong opened the mask of the spacesuit and called the Kunlun station.

"Mr. Cat, Tang Yue, I am in the command module of the Eagle lander, the cabin has been powered on, and the situation is good."

During docking with the Joint Space Station, both the Eagle spacecraft's batteries and computers were powered by the space station.

"OK, we see it."

Lao Mao and Tang Yue observed the situation in the Kunlun station, and the power and control system of the Eagle lander had been successfully connected to the space station, which was equivalent to a cabin of the joint space station at the moment.

None of the people and cats in Kunlun Station dared to be careless, the broken computer of the Eagle lander had a criminal record, and it had two convulsions in a row, almost smashing their supply delivery plan.

"The Eagle spacecraft's computer has an automatic landing control program, everything you need to do to land safely is written in code by the engineers of the earth, you don't have to touch the joystick when you sat on it before, right?" The old cat asked.

"No, you don't." Tang Yue and Mai Dong spoke in unison.

The commander of the expedition team is Lao Wang, he is the one with full responsibility, and he is the captain of the flight, and once the plane takes off, the captain has the power to make any decisions. Wang did not allow anyone to mess with the control console of the Eagle lander, so the computer controlled the spacecraft during the landing, and everyone else stood by.

So the operation of the Eagle spacecraft requires only a commander and a dog.

The task of the commander is to feed the dogs during the flight.

The dog's task is to bite the commander when he tries to touch the console.

"There was a problem during the second docking, the lander's computer misjudged the flight speed, I want to see what the fault is."

"Is this a serious problem?" Mai Dong asked.

"It may or may not be serious." The old cat crackled on the keyboard, "If it's just the intersection sensor that's broken, then we don't have to worry about it, if it's a bug in the computer itself...... Then you'll have to take a moment to rule it out. ”

"How long will it take?" Tang Yue asked.

"It's been ruled out."

The old cat shrugged.

"Obviously, there was a problem with the rendezvous sensor, and the sandstorm was encountered during the second launch, and the sand invaded and accumulated in the laser mirror, causing problems with the sensor's speed measurement." "It's a small fault, insignificant, but if you don't have enough propellant, it can become a fatal problem." ”

"It doesn't have an effect on landing, does it?"

"No impact." The old cat replied, "The landing control system of the Eagle lander computer is all right, Miss Mai Dong, you get ready, plan the time, we have to go to the cabin recently - to check the ship's ventral insulation tile." ”

Mai Dong took time out to take a shower and change his clothes.

There is a folding bathroom in the space station, the main structure is an opaque and impermeable polymer material, which is very inconspicuous when folded, but when it is unfolded, it is a two-meter-high cylinder, which can accommodate an adult to stand, but if you want to stand firm, you have to use the footmuff to firmly fix yourself to the bottom plate.

In the absence of gravity, a normal shower is impossible, and the station's bathrooms can only achieve similar results at best, with a high-pressure sprinkler on top and a powerful suction machine underneath the bottom plate that uses air pressure to push floating water droplets to move, recovering all the waste water by the way.

Mai Dong hadn't taken a shower for a long time, and bathing in the space station was quite a hassle, and in order to prevent her lungs from inhaling water droplets and causing suffocation, she had to wear goggles and a breathing mask when she took a shower, making her look like a seriously ill person isolated in the ICU.

But how can any of this stop a girl's desire to take a bath?

"Did you take a shower?"

Tang Yue sat in a chair and saw Mai Dong wiping his wet hair with a towel in the video.

"Well, yes...... It was so comfortable to take a shower. Mai Dong nodded and tugged at the collar of his work clothes, "I also changed my clothes, can you see it?" ”

"Is it a holiday today?" Tang Yue turned his head and asked the old cat.

"International Cat Day, Cat Food Shopping Festival, and International Exchange Forum for Cat Owners." The old cat replied, "Does it count?" ”

"It doesn't count."

For Tang Yue, taking a bath is a rather luxurious thing, the fresh water recovery efficiency of Kunlun Station is not combined with the space station, bathing is a major water-consuming activity, not a major day of the New Year's holiday, Tang Yue does not take a bath easily, and a Tang Yue bath seems to be on May Day.

It is expected that the next bath may be on August 15.

Children's Day is no longer washed, and Tang Yue is no longer Children's Day.
