Chapter 552: Naming

"Cameraman, you have to film the entire space shuttle in the back station."

Guo Fan was standing under the launch tower in a spacesuit, directing the cameraman who was also wearing a spacesuit to adjust the angle.

Behind him is the new giant mobile launch pad No. 3 at the Xinyuan launch site, and on top of it is the space shuttle Vanguard.

There were now four hours left before takeoff, and they had to enter the shuttle shortly after the photo shoot.

It has been almost two years since the start of filming on the Wandering Earth, and the space shooting promised by Lin Ju is finally about to come true.

The entire crew, including the actors, has a total of 12 people, which is quite lean, and almost everyone has to wear multiple hats to ensure that the filming is completed smoothly.

They were accompanied by 14 astronauts, including eight base engineers who had never been to space, meaning that Vanguard would send 26 people to the Advance space station this time.

In the expected 14-day filming cycle, the Advance will dock with three H2 space shuttles at the same time, occupy three of the four large docking interfaces, and have a crew of 38, which is about to set a new record for the number and weight of a manned spacecraft.

Of course, the original crew compartment of the Pioneer was not enough for so many people, but this time its cargo hold was loaded with the crew compartment that was originally intended to transport 108 people, and this time it will fit 21 passengers.

However, the extra space was not wasted, except for the 24 seats reserved, all the remaining 14 rows of chairs were dismantled to transport goods, and 7 tons of scientific research equipment and 20 tons of supplies were sent to the Advance.

Two and a half hours before the launch, Guo Fan climbed into the cargo hold, and there were piles of white packages underneath, looking very safe.

The crew's 12 crew members and actors were all housed in the crew cabin, but Guo Fan was allowed to place a camera in the cockpit to provide precious real take-off footage.

The inside of the cargo hold is actually very comfortable, although it is a 3+3 layout, but it is still quite spacious at a width of nearly 8 meters, the only drawback is that there is no porthole, and it is a pity that he can't see the outside.

So he didn't have the slightest complaint about Wu Jing grabbing the bulkhead position, anyway, everyone was about the same.

The 21 people in the crew compartment spent a lot of energy adjusting their attitudes and wearing seat belts in the vertical space shuttle, and when all this was done, it was only a little more than an hour before the launch, and Guo Fan already felt some sweat on his body.

"It would be nice if we were sitting on the Chapter 9, it would be best for the spacecraft to fly directly from the ground to the space station for docking, and it would be a qualified sci-fi film without cutting it in the later stage."

Wu Jing: "It's a pity that President Lin is not there...... almost let him come to space to make a cameo appearance. ”

Guo Fan: "Boss Lin has been grounded, you want me to ......"

"Ahem." Shen Zuozhou, the on-site commander of the ground command center, interrupted the two people's arguing and asked them to continue their pre-flight preparations.

After a year-long high-intensity launch, H2 missions have become commonplace, and the command center has trained several batches of skilled personnel, so the atmosphere seems to be relaxed.

An hour passed quite quickly, and after the ignition command was issued, the Xinyuan-2A rocket, which had already carried out five missions, lifted off again with the space shuttle, and continued to ascend with 26 astronauts.

In the footage transmitted back by the rocket, Guo Fan and Wu Jingjing stared in unison, feeling the huge overload from the 21 engines.

The crew is not very old this time, and it is only a little pressure on them.

The overload did not last long, the rocket separated directly after sending the shuttle into low orbit, and it took a few minutes for Vanguard to start its own engines, and it is expected that it will be two hours before docking with Advance.

……

"Brother Jing, pull me!"

"I can't stand it either!"

Guo Fan, who was floating in the air and had nowhere to borrow his strength, tried to ask Wu Jing for help, but the latter was also scrambling to "stand" steadily, and the first contact with zero gravity was still a little uncomfortable for ordinary people like them.

Two and a half hours had passed since launch, and they had released their seat belts after the Pioneer docked, but except for a few reluctantly movements at the beginning, they were now in a state of demon flurry.

Fortunately, the reserve astronauts of the remaining 9 bases were able to help, and under their reminders, the crew quickly mastered the essentials and adapted for a while before climbing up into the space station.

At the interface of the functional cabin, Li Sheng welcomed the crew who came up, and then emphasized the discipline of confidentiality.

The 12 people who were able to come up this time have all gone through official background checks, received more secrecy education than space training, and incorporated all of them into official institutions to sign confidentiality agreements, and everyone is very cooperative.

Then the crew and others were all guided to the "Zimouse" module to gather and prepare for the welcome ceremony, leaving only Li Sheng and other astronauts and a few Xinyuan engineers who came up together.

They tacitly returned to the Vanguard's cargo hold again, unwrapped the top package together, and then revealed a composite box that looked like a coffin.

The Engineer opened one of them, revealing a beautiful woman lying quietly with her arms folded.

She was wearing a light blue one-piece dress, with most of her snow-white upper body, including her shoulders, exposed, and the hem of her lower body only covering most of her thighs.

If the color of the dress were changed to white, Li Sheng would think that she was a beautiful hostess or bridesmaid, and her delicate face would only appear in those scenes in his mind.

His first reaction now was to feel that his perspective was a little impolite, and even if he tried to convince himself in his heart that it was just a robot, he couldn't see the slightest hint from his appearance.

Sleeping Beauty, this is the first impression in his heart.

However, the engineer who opened the lid was obviously not so shocked, and the second robot ...... There are already more life butlers in the base than dogs, and they have long been numb.

He pressed it neatly on the snow-white skin on her chest, and the robot's eyes immediately opened, and a blue glow that did not belong to a human finally appeared in the same life-threatening eyeballs, shining accurately on the engineer's face.

"Permission identification: BA35045, you have entered the developer mode, and the first-generation intelligent multi-purpose life butler No. 2101 will serve you."

The astronauts of the space station were all startled by the sudden speech of the 2101 robot, because both the tone of "her" and the lip shape on the face were extremely natural, not at all like a robot, and there was no dullness in the words.

The engineer looked back at Li Sheng:

"According to the rules of the space station, you are the current supreme leader, so it's up to you to name her."
