Chapter 51: Ship docking
Luo Xu hummed a song, at this moment, he was in the silo of the Mars Forward Base.
There is a very discordant feeling when I say it, one moment I am still drinking tea in an ordinary mainland city in China, and the next moment I am on Mars in a different time and space, and the sense of disobedience is inevitable.
Luo Xu is not a decisive person, in fact, he is an indecisive and emotional good person, killing someone is a heavy and difficult topic for him to mention, let alone killing so many people in one go. People are not small animals such as chickens, ducks, fish, etc., they can be killed when they say they can be killed, they are the highest, most powerful and intelligent advanced creatures on the earth, they rule the whole earth, they have unimaginable wisdom and emotion, they are majestic, they are domineering, they call for wind and rain, they are kings and hegemons, they are empty-eyed, and regard everything as a plaything in their hands.
But with such a terrifying creature in the legend, Luo Xu actually killed eight of them in one go! It is impossible to say that it is impossible not to feel restless because of this, Luo Xu is afraid, Luo Xu is afraid, Luo Xu is panicked, Luo Xu is in pain, Luo Xu wants to say: "Hey, what should I eat tonight?" Ah, there are too many choices, so annoying, so painful. ”
"The automatic counting program starts." The cold English is translated into Chinese output by the voice module in the helmet, and there is always an uncomfortable chill.
"Launch in a minute."
Luo Xu sat in his chair, the fixed valve behind his back securing him and X2 in the chair so as not to cause him to collide everywhere when firing, but on the other hand, the position was uncomfortable. Fortunately, everything is bearable, Luo Xu looked at the data that kept flowing on the interface, and muttered a countdown in his mouth.
“10,9,8……”
The first-stage engine ignited, the spacecraft let out a violent roar, and the sudden acceleration made Luo Xu feel his body sink and his breathing became difficult. Fortunately, this process was not long, and in about a minute, the speed of the spacecraft reached 3km/s, and the acceleration gradually began to become stable, and Luo Xu's physical discomfort quickly passed. In fact, this discomfort is not much of a problem, compared to the overload of the Neuron fighter, the impact of the ship's acceleration at this time is very mild and friendly.
"Ready to get out of the lows, start."
The ship shook, and the first stage engine and fuel drum were thrown away, and the ship was already halfway there.
Through the porthole of the spaceship, a curtain glowing with white light was broken, and the dazzling sunlight shone from hundreds of millions of kilometers away, filling the entire command module of the spaceship with light. Looking down, this side of Mars was shrouded in darkness, and it was almost impossible to see anything.
"Two-stage engine ignition, start."
As soon as the voice fell, the spacecraft shifted its angle and prepared to change orbit into the intended orbit.
The mass of Mars is much lighter than that of Earth, with an orbital speed of only 3.56km/s, and the launch of the spacecraft is much easier than that of Earth, and with the precise control of the computer, all this action is not only smooth, but also very fast. Less than eight minutes passed, and the spacecraft glided into its intended orbit. The engine gradually decreased from thunder to a gentle hissing sound, and in the last sentence of "secondary disengagement", the separator was activated, and the part of the secondary fuel tank connected to the spacecraft was successfully disengaged.
There was silence, and there was no sound in the command cabin, except for the gasp of Luo Xu's breathing, and even he could hear the sound of his own heart pacing. At this time, if there is no fixed valve, maybe he and X2 will be "drifting" everywhere in the cabin, this is a new experience, an unprecedented experience, some people on the earth are willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to try it, but unfortunately it is inevitable that they will not taste their wishes, and now he has not spent a penny to experience this feeling of weightlessness in space, and the difference in human experience can be seen.
Luo Xu barely suppressed his excitement, now is not the time to play, in general, he can always control his ** when it is time to work hard.
Half an hour later, Luo Xu saw the Intrepid space station for the first time with the naked eye, or rather, it was the first time he had not seen the space station from photos and videos. At a distance of about ten kilometers and more than three hundred yards in length, the cross-shaped solar panels reflected a blinding light from the surface of the metal as it slowly rotated.
Luo Xu held his breath for a while, this is the great power of human beings, the power of science and technology, only by really witnessing it can we realize the greatness of human wisdom. From a distance, it seems to be just a whole, but the various technologies contained in it are counted in 100,000 and cover the entire discipline of human beings, and all of them are indispensable. If you think about it, if one of the hundreds of thousands of parts fails, then it is very likely that the whole body will be affected, and the result is that this magnificent space station will disintegrate by mistake and cease to exist.
The closer he got to the space station, the more Luo Xu was amazed by its beauty, its exquisiteness, its appearance, and its complexity, all revealing the inherent beauty of technology. For the first time, he felt that just being able to see it with his own eyes was enough to be worth the time and risk.
The command has been given by Bob, the central axis of the space station is sticking out of the docking arm, and the RCS of the spacecraft is controlling the relative speed and angle of the spacecraft, and the docking between the two will be relatively slow, the process is short and long. It is said that it is short, the whole process lasts about five minutes, and it is said that it is a long time, and in Luo Xu's nervous mood, just one minute is as long as an hour.
After a slight collision and a hissing sound of air pressure regulation, the first docking of the two was a complete success.
The fixed valve opened after a "pop", and Luo Xu floated in the air in X2, which made him very uncomfortable, but the novelty of weightlessness soon enveloped his whole body, comfortable and uncomfortable, the two were opposed to each other and blended with each other, and the special feeling of weightlessness was indeed fascinating. Luo Xu was no exception, he flipped 360 degrees in the air, making him dizzy, so he unwillingly stopped his fun.
Half a minute later, the circular airlock door opened, and the other side of the space station welcomed Luo Xu's arrival. He activated the RCS automatic control system on his body, and puffs of gas erupted from X2's body, pushing Luo Xu through the airlock passage to the "land" of the Intrepid space station.
"This is the Intrepid space station?"
Luo Xu looked around, full of curiosity, he was now in a small space, as he walked in, the airlock door closed, and the air pressure in the entire room began to adjust to the air pressure environment inside the space station. But don't worry about this, the air pressure environment of the space station and the spacecraft is not large, and the adjustment is completed quickly, and it will not cause any discomfort to people, not to mention that Luo Xu is wearing X2 and is in an isolated environment from the outside world, no matter what the air pressure is, it will not have any effect on him.
"Where we are now is ...... Well, the pressure chamber in Zone D, the No. 7 bobbin that has to go through Zone C to Zone B. ”
The corridors here have recessed handles for people to grab and move, and Luo Xu uses the x2 to stabilize his body and slowly float past it in a straight line. As he officially stepped into the circle of the space station, gravity faintly appeared, like a transparent rope pulling him, Luo Xu was like a leaf falling, slowly standing on the ground.
Well, he was already within the range of the centrifugal force created by the rotation of the ring, and he was back to the point where gravity affected his body. However, the gravity at this time is not very large, and it seems that the artificial gravity created by the space station is only 0.46 times that of the Earth's gravity. He has seen a lot of the world, the interior of the space station is not like the spaceship in the science fiction movie, with all kinds of portholes, you can clearly see the beauty of the universe, here are all sealed cabins, where are the portholes for passengers to enjoy.
Luo Xu hurried up the time, followed the three-dimensional map instructions displayed on the neuromechanical interface, did not deviate from any direction, and walked straight towards Area B. After turning a few spiral stairs and aisles, you soon entered Area C.
Section C is a resting place for the staff, and most of them are small, simple, and clean personal containment chambers with a uniform system, and of course, blood stains and corpses that have almost turned to bones. Luckily, Bob had already exchanged air in the area, otherwise the smell of the corpses would have forced him to activate X2's air circulation system.
There was clearly a massacre here, and it seems that bad luck is inevitable for a space station in outer space. Traces of cannibalism were everywhere, and people seemed vulnerable to the disaster, and all 32 crew members on the Intrepid space station were killed in the disaster. But the luck in the misfortune is that at least they didn't survive like alien monsters, and were finally eliminated by Luo Xu, who arrived at this time.
Luo Xu's mood was heavy and uncomfortable, and he sped up and walked out of Area C, the corpse in this place was too strange to die from the eyes of ordinary people, and he couldn't stand it even if Luo Xu's psychological quality was excellent, so he simply turned a blind eye to it.
The location of the 7 bobbin in Area B is safe and secure, and the entire room is sealed off by a coded hatch on the outer layer, and it is impossible for anyone without a password to enter except for a few people, but for Bob, who has taken over the entire space station, everything is not a problem. Luo Xu waited for ten seconds, and the code door, which was said to be unbreakable, obediently opened his arms.
Finally, Luo Xu was able to witness the "miracle" big black ball behind the tempered glass, and sure enough, as seen in the video, it was dark and dull, but it was full of a unique mysterious atmosphere, attracting people to unconsciously want to approach and touch it.
That's a dangerous way of thinking! Luo Xu became alert, he didn't look at it much, and quickly turned his head to take out the mysterious cube, opened the light film and released the k500. Since people cannot touch this "miracle", they have to use machines to carry the work.
In fact, it is not correct to say that the handling is not correct, the "miracle" floats in the air, and the K500 pushes gently, and it floats forward under its own force, and there is no need to carry it at all, and it is more accurate to say that the push.
In less than a moment, the "miracle" was successfully sent into the light film, and everything was in normal condition without any incident. It was only at this time that Luo Xu's nervous mood was relaxed, and everything was fine, he was suddenly a little afraid that the "miracle" would have a bad conflict with the light film just now, but it turned out that he was too worried.
On the other side, he had already arranged everything, and the "miracle" would be sent to a sealed room to be monitored and kept 24 hours a day, which was located at the bottom of Section B 500 meters below, and there was no doubt about safety.
After Luo Xu was relieved, he stepped into the light film and returned to the canyon base to see the relocation, but he returned to the canyon base and suddenly turned into a sudden turn, and the No. 2 mysterious cube suddenly rotated in the air, and a three-dimensional map unfolded from the periphery, clearly visible, just like a real picture.
"It's ...... Earth? ”
The clouds are floating, blue and green blending, as if it is a pearl of the universe, this is not the earth, where is it?
But these are not important, the important thing is that outside the earth, a red dot with a shimmering red light is gradually approaching, and looking at the trajectory, the obvious destination is the earth.
This familiar scene is familiar, and sure enough, the No. 1 cube on the other side has the same change as the No. 2 cube.
"Has Cube Three appeared?"
The voice was low and gradually dissipated into the air.
