Chapter 347: Eve
Ma Wu trotted into the dormitory.
"Did you watch the news?"
Jiang Shui, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, was wiping his hair with a towel and asked in confusion, "What news?" What kind of activities is Taotao doing?"
Liao Qingsong, who was reading a space station design book, raised his head and said: "I have been training intensively for a while recently, and I don't have time to read lace news. ”
Ma Wu sat directly on the table and said excitedly: "Xuanwu-class 001 will be launched on Jianmu No. 2 in Bazhong City. ”
The other three were stunned for a moment, and Song Yingcai, a spaceship maintenance worker who was also reading the information, put down the information in his hand and asked, "Are you sure that Xuanwu-class 001 was launched at Jianmu No. 2 base?"
"You don't believe me?"
"Awu, where did you get your news?" Liao Qingsong was a little unconvinced.
Ma Wu turned on the holographic computer and entered the official website of the Space Development Committee: "Look at the announcement issued by our immediate boss. ”
Liao Qingsong and the three hurriedly came over.
"Holy!"
"I actually missed such exciting news."
"The news was three days ago."
"Now believe it!" Ma Wu said with a smile.
"But isn't the timber project unfinished? How will it be launched then?" Jiang Shui said puzzledly.
"Anyway, this can't be faked, I have to train hard." Ma Wu cheered himself up.
"How many times have you passed driving training?" Liao Qingsong asked with a smile.
"I've passed 8 times, and Lao Jiang is more powerful and has passed 11 times." Ma Wu replied helplessly.
The simulated driving test for spaceship pilots is a 100-point scale, but there is no 60-point pass, fail, good or anything like that.
There are only two levels, that is, 100 points to pass, not 100 points to pass, students only need to make one mistake will not pass.
After all, driving a spaceship in outer space is not driving a car on the ground, and a small mistake may make the astronaut and the spacecraft receive a lunch box together.
"It seems that Lao Jiang's chances are higher than yours, Ah Wu, you have to work hard." Song Yingcai patted Ma Wu on the shoulder and comforted.
"To become the first batch of astronauts to go to space, I guess there is little hope, there are several perversions of the pilot major, and now I have passed more than 20 times." Jiang Shui said helplessly.
Those astronaut reservists who knew that the Xuanwu class was about to be launched were excited and geared up, and this was a good opportunity to go down in history, especially the first or first astronauts.
So they are enthusiastic about training and learning, and they all want to be the first astronauts to go to outer space.
……
Bazhong City, Shu Province.
The Xuanwu-class transport projection ship builds a factory.
Li Zhongting took Wang Tu and Zhao Hongxing to the side of Xuanwu-level No. 001.
The specifications of the Xuanwu class are exactly the same as those of the Qinglong class, the only difference is that the Xuanwu class does not have a life support cabin, nor does it have a cockpit, and its control system is automatically controlled by the program.
"Academician Li, there is no problem with Xuanwu Class 001, right?" Wang Tu asked a little uneasily.
"Rest assured, we've checked inside and out three times, and we haven't let go of a single screw." Li Zhongting patted his chest and replied.
"By the way, Lao Li, how are you preparing to transport supplies?" Zhao Hongxing looked at the empty Xuanwu-level 001 cabin and asked.
Li Zhongting opened the holographic bracelet and sent a list to the two of them.
"This is the cargo list of Xuanwu Class 001."
Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu carefully browsed.
[Space Station Module No. 2019.1001—2019.1024 Parts, 2019.2001—2019.0024 Parts; 20 tons of metallic oxygen-hydrogen mixed fuel; 120 square meters of graphene solar film panels; 5 space operation robots; …… ]
"Are these the parts for the station's modules 1 and 2?" Zhao Hongxing turned his head and asked.
Li Zhongting nodded: "Yes." With that, he clicked on another file in the holographic projection, and immediately jumped out of a model of the space station cabin.
"We used a modular design, dividing a chamber into 24 parts, and then going to outer space to assemble them."
"Wouldn't this technology be too risky?" Zhao Hongxing looked at the model, how did he feel unreliable.
"There is no problem with this technology, remember the sealing problem of the joint of the vacuum pipe of the Strait Bridge?" Wang Tu said endlessly.
Zhao Hongxing was confused: "What's the matter with the vacuum pipeline of this Guan Strait Bridge?"
"The sealing problem of the joint of the vacuum pipe involves a gel laser welding technology, and after our research, we found that this thing can be applied to outer space operations, especially in the sealing problem of component assembly." Wang Tu explained with a smile.
"Wang is right, it is precisely because of this gel laser welding technology that we have given up the way of going to outer space with the whole cabin, and have chosen the way of going to outer space with modular parts and then assembling them." Li Zhongting then explained.
"Is it reliable? Don't drop the chain at a critical moment. Zhao Hongxing was still not at ease.
After all, it is no wonder that he has many worries about giving up the mature whole cabin method and adopting the modular component method that has not been in outer space.
"Red Star, don't worry! We launched three times this time, sending four space station compartments and two main engines to it, and if the assembly fails, it will cost tens of millions at most. Li Zhongting said.
Zhao Hongxing scolded with a smile: "Lao Li, you can say that it is easy, isn't tens of millions of money?"
"Look at Lao Ma's 2 billion superconducting guide, tens of millions is really not a thing, this is not enough for a small goal." Li Zhongting teased with a smile.
"The possibility of failure is very small, if you are unlucky, you should spend money to buy a lesson!" Wang Tu doesn't matter.
"......" Zhao Hongxing was speechless for a moment.
On the other side, the space station parts manufacturing plant, also in Bazhong City.
They have already packed spare parts for the four space station compartments and are loading them into trucks to be sent to the Jianmu 2 base.
"Gao Yue, is the number aligned?" Li Dongshan, the factory manager, asked as he looked at the spare parts that were being loaded.
"Oh my manager! You have asked about this more than a dozen times, and the parts and components have been verified by machines and manuals, and there will be no mistakes. Gao Yue replied with a wry smile.
"Aren't I nervous! If something goes wrong with the first shot, our jobs will be overturned. Li Dongshan said nervously, he was not like Gao Yue, who was still uneasy, and said:
"Give me the scanner and the list, and I'll check it again, or I won't be able to sleep."
Gao Yue, who was helpless, could only go to get the code scanner and the list.
"Give."
After receiving Gao Yue's code scanner and list, Li Dongshan scanned the code and checked the list of spare parts one by one.
Drip! [Space Station No. 2019.1016]...... Drip! [Space Station No. 2019.4009]......
"Whew!" After checking the last spare part, Li Dongshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem, right?" Gao Yue asked.
Li Dongshan nodded: "No problem, you can send it to Jianmu No. 2 Base, Gao Yue, you can personally escort it over!" ”
“KO!” Gao Yue gestured, then turned his head and shouted, "Let's go." ”
"Stay safe all the way." Li Dongshan said with concern.
Gao Yue waved his hand, and then sat on the pickup and walked away, accompanied by the local armed police, as well as the personnel of Tianhan Security.
Although it is the hinterland of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Space Development Committee did not take it lightly, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people, and the more critical the moment, the more cautious it must be.
