Because of the time difference, when Xia Ming's "Singularity" spacecraft lifted off, Xiaotang's "Pedestal" space station had been waiting in an altitude of 40,000 kilometers for half a day.

In fact, the manned space flight was a joint effort between the technical forces of China, the United States, and Russia, with China using the Long March 5 to launch the spacecraft, and the United States using the Falcon E to launch the space station, and Russia's space reactor was the key to the success of this plan.

The reason why Musk's Space-X launch space station was found was because the 20-ton space station needed to be launched with a heavy rocket, which only the Long March 5B could do on the Huaxia side. However, the spacecraft had to be launched with the Long March 5 at the same time, and the control center in Huaxia could not take care of it for a while.

Another reason is that it is difficult to say bluntly, the Falcon E has more launches than the Long March 5B, the technology is mature, and the price is also low. Even if Huaxia Aerospace gave Xia Ming a preferential price, the Falcon E was still one-third cheaper. For Xia Ming, who is already a little financially stretched, hundreds of millions of dollars are no longer mosquito legs but frog legs, which cannot be ignored.

This operation has leveraged the global aerospace pattern, but it is not Xia Ming's original intention, at this time, he even left his life behind, how can he care about this kind of thing.

In the past, Huaxia Aerospace was separated from the international space forces led by the United States, and the United States sanctioned Huaxia through various channels and did not allow Huaxia to launch any satellites and spacecraft that adopted US space technology, which also forced Huaxia Aerospace to start anew and develop its own system.

Up to now, in military aerospace, Huaxia is no longer afraid of the United States, but in commercial aerospace, it is still a lot worse than NASA wearing Musk's white gloves. The previous Mars exploration plan seemed to be equal in terms of exploration results, but in terms of operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness ratio, Space-X's advantages are still obvious.

Xia Ming, the Kunpeng company, came out and took advantage of the three-step plan for more than half a year to make a big deal out of black technology in aerospace technology, although rocket technology is not involved, but energy, power, control and other aspects have completely surpassed the United States.

In the "singularity" stage, Xia Ming brought the United States and Russia in, and the previous pattern was all washed away.

When the rockets on both sides were launched, the space departments of China and the United States were shouting through the media of various sides, which was both a demonstration and a test. The chessboard on both sides was forced together by Xia Ming, and the chess players had to reconsider the layout.

Because the situation is somewhat complicated, neither China nor the United States has made a big deal of publicity about this manned space flight, but simply reported that "Kunpeng's asteroid zone exploration program has entered the third stage", and even the technical point of "manned" has been deliberately blocked.

Of course, they themselves have a lot of things that they don't know, for example, the United States knows that the astronaut on the space station is Xiaotang, but it doesn't know who the astronaut on the spacecraft is. On the Huaxia side, because the spacecraft is under the supervision of the Russians, it is not clear that the astronaut is Xia Ming. Moreover, after the launch, the spacecraft was managed by the control center of the Kunpeng company, and like the previous two operations, Huaxia Aerospace could only receive information after the fact.

can break this pattern, not only relying on the three or four billion dollars that Xia Ming spent, but more importantly, a series of black technologies.

The key reason why China and the United States are willing to launch part of each other is that this is a earth-shaking space revolution.

In the past, the rendezvous and docking of spacecraft and space station was a very meticulous process, which had to be calculated and controlled from the launch stage, and counted from orbit to orbit. Not only is the launch window narrow, but the manpower and resources consumed are also quite large.

But this docking subverts this method, launching directly to a sufficient height, and then the space station and the spacecraft dock themselves, completely eliminating the previous steps.

This method not only means a great expansion of the launch window, but also means that human beings are no longer playing with kites when launching spacecraft, but with model airplanes.

This is possible thanks to new solar cells, flywheel batteries, VASIMR and intelligent controls. New battery technology provides long-lasting energy, and VASIMR provides long-lasting and sufficient power to make space maneuvering faster, more flexible and less costly. The intelligent control also simplifies the docking process, no longer needs the ground control center to track and manage every small link, and the GEI of the spacecraft and the space station automatically controls the space station and the spacecraft to complete the docking through the image recognition and sensing system.

Astronauts all over the world are watching and looking forward to the successful docking. On the radars of various countries, when the space station and the spacecraft are steadily integrated 40,000 kilometers away from the earth, whether it is in Houston or Panxi, applause and cheers are like a tide.

This means that human spaceflight has entered the era of "hard maneuvering", and the era of "soft maneuvering" in which the past was limited by the weak energy and power of spacecraft, and had to carefully calculate every orbit and every percentage point of gravity, and often took several days to make a satellite stable into orbit, is about to become history.

"Today is a big day, we should celebrate", in the space station, Xiaotang and Xia Ming floated and entangled, and after separation, Xiaotang said.

As if by magic, she took out two goblets and a bottle of wine, which was red in color. The bottle shook several times before a cloud of liquor swayed in the air.

Although there have long been glasses dedicated to space, they are useless.

The two of them used their wine glasses to chase soap bubbles, put the wine into the glass, intertwined their arms, and drank at the same time.

This is a big day for the two of them, what aerospace revolution is meaningless at this moment, at this time, there is only each other in each other's eyes.

"Don't drink it, otherwise there will be the first pair of drunk astronauts in human history", seeing that Xiaotang was still shaking the wine bottle, Xia Ming stopped her.

"Drunk driving, drunk driving, see who can issue a ticket, uh......" Xiaotang burped, and most of the glass of red wine made her four or five points drunk, and two obvious blush rose on her originally white jade-like cheeks, making her more radiant.

Xia Ming laughed thief: "I'm talking about drunk driving, not just driving a boat......"

Xiaotang smiled: "You, it's not easy to pretend to be stupid for so long." ”

She hooked Xia Ming's neck, and the two of them slowly whirled.

"The specific reason should be different from what you think. Let Xiao Huan squeeze you because she wants her to conceive your child. ”

"Your physiology and her body, especially your brain, are very different from normal people. I wanted to see if this difference would be inherited. ”

"I'm worried that you and Xiao Huan will have problems with their reproductive ability under the mutation, so I saved some of your sperm and can do IVF in the future."

"Isn't it cold to think about science and prepare for your accident? I was afraid that you would be too careful, so I didn't tell you. ”

Xiaotang said calmly, looking at Xia Ming with a calm gaze.

Xia Ming just smiled and didn't respond.

How could he be so careful? His queen is so rational, he understands. He saw everything Xiaotang did before, Xiaotang wanted Xiao Huan to be confused with him, and he also understood what it was for.

Before the day came, he didn't think about debunking.

No matter what Xiaotang does, how cold he thinks, in order to be able to walk side by side with him, towards the unpredictable direction of life and death, and the goal is even more ethereal. No matter how far he goes, Xiaotang will accompany him.

After a moment of silence, he whispered with a hint of satisfaction: "Xiaotang, when you sang 'Just Look at You' to me at the string bar that day, I really couldn't believe it, why...... Would you like to go down with me? ”

"Boy, are you still shy? Love just say it out loud", Xiaotang's eyes rolled: "Now I can say clearly, I-love-you!" ”

Her thick eyelashes fanned slightly: "As for why, I want to think about it, you are very awesome, you are superhuman...... Ha ha! ”

When he said those two words, Xia Ming's face was a little wrong, Xiaotang kissed him, and bit his lip vigorously at the end.

"If that's the case, I'd be disappointed that you weren't formatted, I think ah, if you're going to be formatted, you'll definitely become a superman that mortals can't imagine."

Xiaotang licked her lips, and the charm of the moment made Xia Ming lose her mind, so she listened to her continue to murmur: "Why do you love you, this question is not something that reason and logic can solve, it's too difficult for me." ”

"Come to think of it, maybe...... Even if you have the ability, you still insist on yourself and the beliefs of mortals. You're the kind of good guy you say! Well, that's right! ”

Xia Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, Queen, your amount of alcohol is really not good.

"I'm going to send you a good person card! Who told you to make me embarrassed in the first place? Remember that piece of back to the pot? Who made you cringe when you faced Yang Shengtang, and treated me as an uncle instead of a girlfriend? Hiccup......"

Xiaotang's drunkenness seems to be real, and she actually sprinkled coquettishness, but her coquettish was more like tsundere.

Xia Ming really wanted to cry out for injustice, but you regarded me as a stupid and naïve junior at the beginning!

"I don't really know why I fell in love with you, I just know that when I picked up your resume from the wastebasket, there was one more dimension to my life, and I lived, huh...... Probably so......"

Xiaotang muttered, his voice getting lower and lower, as if he was really about to fall asleep.

Xia Ming hugged her and continued to spin, although there were still too many things to say, he didn't want to wake her up.

The next moment, Xiaotang straightened up and snapped his fingers, and the bright light in the cabin turned into soft candlelight.

She pushed Xia Ming away with a smile: "I almost forgot, and I didn't eat the cake......

The two were less than a meter apart, Xiaotang looked directly at Xia Ming, maintained a faint smile on his face, and first dismantled the ponytail.

Her long hair spread out and fluttered, bringing with it a dreamy aura like an elf, enveloping her whole person.

Then she put her hand on the zipper of her spacesuit and slowly pulled it down.

It's like a door slowly opening, and inside the spacesuit, there is a "cake" that has been prepared a long time ago. Although it is a little thin, the beauty of the dust is even stronger.

Xia Ming felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, his nose and lips were a little dry, his heart was beating a little fast, and his throat seemed to be swallowing fire.

The space suit fell off his ankles, and there was no trace left on his body, Xiaotang took his hand, floated over with strength, and then let go of the arm covering his chest.

She stretched out her arms, her pupils were like a gorgeous galaxy outside the porthole, and what appeared in front of Xia Ming's eyes was even more beautiful that made him intoxicated.

"The cake is here, taste me, love me, give me ......"

Xia Ming leaned over and threw himself into the beautiful starry sky. (To be continued.) )
