[Chapter 571: Convergence]
……
Nine Chinese and American crew members boarded the port one by one, and under the leadership of the internal crew, everyone headed towards the centrifugal cabin of the starport. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This space station is huge!" Aisling couldn't help but exclaim again.
Other American astronauts also feel the same way, they are not the first time to enter the space station, there are two old qualified astronauts who have even worked on the International Space Station, and later worked on the "Tianzhou", the huge International Space Station has made him very amazed, but here in the "Tiangong Orbital Star Port", the International Space Station is a small thing, not at all at the same level.
Ten minutes later, everyone turned a few corners from the landing module through the cargo module supply module and finally entered the corner of the No. 1 core module, which was a fork in the road, the first time to enter someone else's national space station, or with the property of the enterprise nature of the space station, a group of old beauties were extremely curious, when they arrived at this fork, they could see the No. 2 core module, the supply module, the experimental module, the energy cabin and other forks, especially the energy cabin was pasted with a striking slogan of "no authorization is allowed to pass".
A few old beauties were more curious about what was inside the energy capsule, but they quickly thought of the news that shocked the world not long ago, I am afraid that the area where the energy capsule is located should be the place that provides energy for the entire orbital starport, and it may be the controllable nuclear fusion energy reactor generation area.
Six Americans and five Chinese formed a long line of 11 people in the gravityless star harbor "floating", led by the Chinese astronauts, everyone finally arrived at the second core module, entering the huge centrifugal cabin can only be through the second core module, the leading astronaut smiled at everyone, and said: "Friends, a sumptuous lunch is waiting for us below, Chinese food, and your compatriots." ”
After that, I saw that he made a 180-degree turn in the weightless mid-air, his legs were facing the passage below, and his little hand gently pushed his whole person directly above the passage mouth, entering the centrifugal force field, and the whole person was pulled towards the passage by a force, and the others followed suit when they saw this, the second was Jing Tian, the third was Ai Silin, and the rest of the people also entered the passage.
After leaving the earth, everyone felt the presence of gravity here for the first time.
Nine new members and two starport hosts entered the centrifuge chamber one after another, and everyone finally stood on the floor instead of levitating in the air as if they were in a weightless environment, and the gravity was no different from that of Earth.
"It's huge!" Aisling said in amazement, curiously looking around, deeply feeling the magnanimity of the owner of this space station, you must know that in outer space, every cubic meter of space is precious and needs to be used to the fullest, and the space activities of burning money are not too stingy.
Obviously, working in the "Tiangong Orbital Star Port" is absolutely comfortable, and when others are still stingy and calculating how to make better use of resources, the human-machine relationship and comfortable environment have long been considered here.
What a gap......
A group of astronauts took off their spacesuits here, and after a while, under the leadership of the Chinese astronauts, everyone in civilian clothes came to the main hall, which was a novel scene, and the main hall was the largest independent space in the centrifugal cabin of the entire orbital starport.
At this moment, more than a dozen people are gathering together, and those who come here for the first time are all surprised, because the curvature of the centrifugal cabin causes the layout of the first section to look at the other end of the visual "U" shaped inclination, as if the seats, facilities and people sitting at the other end will slide down the slope to the bottom of the arc, but this is not the case, all the facilities seem to be fixed in place.
"Welcome to our new members!" The people inside the main hall saw 11 people coming, and immediately laughed loudly, with their arrival, more than 20 members suddenly gathered in the main hall, but it still didn't seem crowded.
Several empty tables were already filled with hearty lunches.
Ning Zebo, who had already landed in the Star Port, looked at the American astronauts with a smile and said: "According to the time of the Earth in the United States, it should be dinner at this moment, but the space station has its own time scale, according to the Star Port time, it is now 11 o'clock, lunch time." Chinese food, I hope you enjoy it. ”
"Oh no, I've heard about the reputation of Chinese food for a long time, it's this!" The old American astronaut gave a thumbs up and smiled.
A lavish lunch enjoyed officially began, here, all the astronauts, researchers and armed tactical team members of the two countries going to Mars were all in line, 12 American faces and 17 Chinese faces, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and many old Americans gave a thumbs up to say that Chinese food is worthy of its name.
After lunch, the group of people who were about to go to Mars rested on the star port for half a day, and the three members of the "Mars Express" driving Ning Zebo, Liu Pingdong, and Xiaozhuang returned to the spacecraft in advance. The rest of the members who were going to Mars also began to prepare and leave Starport three hours later.
Two hours ago, a batch of special cargo weighing 27 tons sent by the "Arc Eagle VII" was officially sent to the Star Port, and the cargo compartment was also sent to the "Mars Express" half an hour ago to complete the docking and fixed on the truss interface.
An hour and a half later, members of the Chinese and American missions to Mars boarded the Mars Express core module and moved to the area where the core module is located.
Two hours later, Ning Zebo's announcement came from the cab more than 200 meters away from the core module, and the crew watched the official separation of the "Mars Express" and the "Tiangong Orbital Starport".
The Americans are still very surprised that this huge artificial celestial body called "Mars Express" actually plays the role of a locomotive, not to mention the tonnage, its actual volume, and the length of its extension are almost the same as that of a supercarrier, and its main role is to provide capacity.
The Mars Express looks so slender that it feels like it's fragile, and it has the illusion that it's strong and dry, but that's not the case.
After another 1 hour and 50 minutes, when the "Tiangong Orbital Starport" disappeared from everyone's field of vision, a new artificial celestial body was constantly approaching the "Mars Express".
