Chapter 442 443 NewsHalf the puppet empire broke away from Travish's rule, announced peace talks with Gricken and Alanhill, This explosive news quickly reached the ears of Travish Great Archmage.
And the news that caused waves within the puppet empire didn't make a big splash in Alanhill.
Because, on this day, Alanhill's manned spaceflight project officially began, a giant space station full of 10 astronauts of all kinds, ignited and took off, and entered the synchronous orbit.
Manned spaceflight is a very precise job, sending so many people into space in one breath is definitely a feat that this world has never done before.
And while sending people into space, the docking work of the space station will be even more complicated. If it weren't for the existence of such a weapon as the floating magic array, Alanhill's space exploration would also be It won't be as smooth as it is today.
With a voice command, at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, the main power rocket on the space station ignited, and this huge monster entered the Earth synchronous orbit under the impetus of the rocket.
Then, after several adjustments, this huge space station is about to dock with the No. 1 space station and merge into a larger space station.
This new space station is more than 600 meters long and is a huge monster. People on this space station can experience life in the sky and feel life in the next few days.
The entire docking process is to be televised - yes, it is a broadcast, not a live broadcast.
The first reason is that the transmission speed of the image signal is still very slow, and the other reason is that because of fear of losing control, we finally had to choose the method of video broadcast to broadcast the space station to all Alanhill people. docking screen.
"The flight attitude is stable! The auxiliary rocket is ignited!" Sitting in the control room, an astronaut carefully trained by the Alanhill Air Force controlled the controller in front of him and reported him to the ground command center. A series of operations just done.
Sitting next to him is a magician specializing in the research of outer space magic. This magician is wearing a space suit and is surprised to feel the surging magic power in his body.
Sitting behind them are two other astronauts, each of whom has their own experimental projects and are leaders in various fields.
"We have arrived at the predetermined orbit! Everything is normal!" While observing the status feedback screen in front of him, the driver responsible for driving this huge space station and docking with the previously launched space station once again confirmed the spaceship condition.
Everything is normal, even the oxygen levels are plentiful. The reason why they are still wearing space suits is just a precaution for emergency safety considerations.
"We are still 65 kilometers away from the target! Our speed control is good! Pay attention to turn on the reverse booster rocket at 31 kilometers!" The commander of the space station in charge of docking at this time said .
Sitting next to him is Chris' puppet Avatar T800. He just sat quietly, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Among the 10 astronauts, 4 are puppet stand-ins. These puppets have their own advantages in the space station, so they brought as many as possible.
The first advantage is that even if the docking fails and the space station is lost, the loss of personnel will be less - the loss of a puppet double is not a great major event.
The second advantage is that these puppets can survive in outer space for a long time. They work in the space station, and their bodies will not deteriorate due to problems such as weightlessness.
Therefore, these human astronauts will return to the ground in a few days, at most dozens of days, but these god puppets can still insist on working in the space station, and can guarantee no regrets.
"Simulated gravity off! Immediately entering the docking phase... the ground control tower! Please confirm the status of Space Station No. 1." An astronaut continued to confirm.
"Space Station No. 1 is in good condition! The speed of your No. 2 space station is also normal! I can see it clearly here..." The commander in charge of docking said in a relaxed tone in the ground command center.
This situation has been simulated many times by the computer, and the actual manned test will only be carried out after it is basically successful.
And these busywork and hard work have actually paid off. So far, the docking work has been smooth.
"The reverse booster rocket starts! Three, two, one!" The pilot repeated his actions loudly, while reaching out and flipping a red switch in front of him.
With his shout, everyone in the space station felt the space station where they were, and the speed suddenly slowed down.
Soon, a huge space station appeared in front of these researchers - that is the No. 1 space station launched by Alanhill before, and it is also a huge super space station.
"I've seen it! It looks normal, it's in really good condition! The distance between us is getting shorter." Through the heavy glass window in front of him, the driver saw The edge of the planet, which has become a huge arc, has also seen the super space station that is close at hand.
"Turn on the attitude adjustment rocket, and spray to the left to adjust... I have aligned the docking port with the docking port of Space Station One... What about the blue signal?" He held the handle that controls the flight attitude of the space station , cautiously makes the No. 2 space station fly more securely.
"Okay, I see the signal! There is no problem with the position..." Soon, under the guidance of the ground command center, he found the light signal - just a simple comparison, You can confirm that your location is correct.
The design of this light signal is inspired by the landing command light system of the aircraft carrier. Later, it was directly applied to the universe project, which is also a good story.
"Extend the robotic arm! Successfully docked with the robotic arm on Space Station No. 1! All right! Leave the following things to the computer!" The driver, who was finally sighed in relief, opened his helmet Glass cover, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and said.
The robotic arm completes the following tasks according to the instructions given by the computer. After the docking interface is completed, the mechanical arms are fixed to each other and look very strong.
The most important thing is that the docking interface between the two space stations has been pushed together, and it seems that the docking work has been completely completed.
"Ground command center! Space Station No. 2 has been connected to Space Station No. 1! The rest will be left to another group of people." The pilot put out a long breath, facing the communicator shouted.
Connecting thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons, of huge space stations is not an easy job.
The two astronauts guarding near the docking hatch saw the same type of hatch through a fist-sized glass observation window in front of them, with excited smiles on their faces.
They buckled the transparent masks in front of them, then, after confirming the pressure reading, unscrewed the sealed hatch.
"呲!..." After the sound of air pouring into the area with unstable air pressure through the gap, the airtight door of the docking port was opened, and two astronauts in space suits passed through the connecting area to come In front of the sealed door of the No. 1 space station.
Then, they unscrewed the crank handle on the hatch, opened the hatch, and entered the empty space station No. 1.
"The docking is very smooth! Our space station has doubled in size!" After confirming that the docking was successful and there were no problems, Chief-In-Charge, the ground command center that commanded the docking this time, hugged excitedly Colleagues around: "Long live Alanhill! Long live!"
Two hours after the astronauts in space confirmed the successful docking, the footage was broadcast to audiences across the country.
As everyone saw, Alanhill's space station is really up! They saw the amazing outer space, and they saw the amazing Alanhill create another new miracle!
Therefore, people rejoiced, and they took to the streets cheering, proud of their country being so strong.
At the same time, Alanhill's live news broadcast also broadcast a briefing in the corner, briefly introducing the news that some cities in the puppet empire were ready to surrender - that's all.
It was such a big event that half of the territory of the dignified puppet empire defected. In Alanhill, it was overshadowed by a unique televised manned space station docking. This was definitely a surprise to the puppet empire. kind of sadness.
Sadly, the docking of Alanhill's space station has been successful, and the empire has begun to expand their territory into space.
What about puppet empires? This once mighty and mighty Magic Empire is now wagging its tail to beg for mercy from the Alanhill Empire.
In the space station, Chris' puppet T800, who was in charge of magic research, opened a door and saw the lounge for astronauts.
There is still plenty of space here, especially for only 10 astronauts, all the materials on the two space stations can be described as rich.
"Like the surveillance, the vegetables here are growing very well! Much better than on Earth." Chris' puppet Avatar slapped the spacesuit on his body and said to a mortal astronaut beside him.
"The power of magic has also been improved, but the consumption has been reduced... Here, it gave me a lot of surprises." Chris' puppet Avatar admired, and reached out to touch the leaves of the plants that were close at hand.
"We will be here waiting for the arrival of Space Station 3... It will take a lot of time. During this time, what we have to do is to take good care of this Super 1 space station." He finished speaking from the leaves Shang moved his hand away and started to record the status of these plants, soil and other data. ►
