Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 172 Hello, Tiangong!
"This is your first time experiencing a weightless environment. For your own safety, please control the strength of your limbs."

bang~
"Hi~"

In a panic, Wei Yonghe hurriedly reached out and grabbed a handrail on the cabin wall, and used his right hand to pull hard to stabilize his body to prevent his body from floating out again.

He pressed his left hand on his forehead and rubbed it vigorously. The collision just now was quite severe.

He stretched out his left palm in front of his eyes to make sure that his forehead was not broken. His body was hanging upside down and his vision was inverted. This experience of not being able to distinguish between up and down was very novel to him.

"Hiss~, this kid Wei Jiang must have been to outer space a lot."

"It's unbelievable. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to go into outer space even though I'm almost old."

Ignoring the big bump on his forehead, Wei Yonghe used his hands, feet and body to move to the porthole.

He was mesmerized by the vast black outside the porthole and the blue and white surface of the huge sphere below the aircraft.

"so beautiful."

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, the intelligent female voice named Red Star sounded again.

"Mr. Wei, if you are willing, I can take you to an area farther from the Blue Planet, or even to the vicinity of the Moon."

"If you just go to the moon, you need to sit in the driver's seat, and the journey will take longer."

When you are in outer space, whether it is the beautiful scenery of the blue planet or the crescent moon in the distant deep space, they are clearer and more magnificent than when you are on the ground.

"May I?"

"Will it be too long? If Wei Jiang is worried, and if Wei Jiang needs your help..."

Although he confirmed that Dong Da would come forward to help his son Wei Jiang withstand the pressure and witness the extraordinary beauty of outer space, he had more on his mind at the moment.

With my son mastering such technological equipment, it’s no wonder those forces are intent on launching an assassination.

Such a reliable aircraft would definitely be a great help to Wei Jiang. If a danger occurred and the aircraft was too far away to rescue in time, wouldn't he be harming Wei Jiang?

"Mr. Wei, you don't have to worry. The meeting between the commander and the top leaders of Dongda went smoothly."

"The ugly eagle ship that threatened Dongda has been driven away by Dongda's new submarine force in the waters of Donghai."

"You don't need to worry about the commander's safety."

Noticing that there was a flash of light on the surround screen below him, Wei Yonghe exerted force with his right hand. Having learned from his previous experience, he used very little force this time, just enough to allow his body to float backwards.

Looking to the lower right, he reached out his hand and grabbed the armrest of the driver's seat to stabilize his body.

On the surround screen, photos taken by the East China University of Technology’s military reconnaissance satellite are displayed.

On the blue sea, more than a dozen small boats were sailing away to the northeast, leaving behind white wakes.

"Mr. Wei, this is the fleet of Ugly Eagle and other forces. They have been driven away."

Seeing this scene, as a traditional Dongda student, the pride that welled up in his heart made him feel safe.

"it is good!"

“Thank you, our powerful motherland!”

Faced with the powerful fleets of the Ugly Eagles, Dongda responded forcefully and drove away these evil guests.

Having achieved this, Wei Yonghe no longer doubted the government's determination to protect his son Wei Jiang.

"Okay, that puts me at ease."

Looking up at the crescent moon in the distant darkness, Wei Yonghe shook his head and said regretfully:

"The moon is too far away. I won't go there."

Hong Xing thought that this man was still suppressing his inner feelings because he was worried about Wei Jiang. She was about to continue comforting him when Wei Yonghe suddenly smiled and said:
"Can you take me to see our Tiangong? I've always seen on the news that there are astronauts living there. It would be nice if I could go and see them."

"Of course, please take your seat and we can leave now."

The female voice smiled and responded to Wei Yonghe sweetly.

Holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, Wei Yonghe sat back in the chair.

"Let's go, Red Star."
-
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Wei Jiang was escorted out of the hotel by Zhang Gang from the Military Special Service Department.

"Mr. Wei, it's my honor to meet you this time."

"I always thought you were a wise woman."

Looking at Zhang Gang's smiling eyes, Wei Jiang had a calm expression.

Having already fought with the two most powerful people in Tokyo University, he didn't mind Zhang Gang's teasing at all.

No matter how big the matter is, he has never been a shameless person.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Although I'm not a woman, I'm just as wise."

Wei Jiang calmly responded to Zhang Gang's teasing. The two shook hands and said goodbye. Wei Jiang got into the Wuling mini and left.

"Hongxing, go to the agricultural machinery factory."

The hotel gate was left behind by Wuling, and Wei Jiang was still thinking about the conversation he had just had with Mr. Liu and Tang Wu.

It now seems that the official attitude towards him is supportive.

Even though the top alliance of forces on Blue Star wanted to kill him, Dongda still withstood the pressure and did not change its attitude.

After this exchange, his cooperation with the authorities will only develop in a more in-depth direction in the future.

This is enough to show that his previous open-minded cooperation with the authorities was not in vain.

What he needs to do next is to make up for the mistakes caused by his previous carelessness.

Dozens of minutes later, Wei Jiang, wearing a laboratory uniform, looked at the bionic mechanical body with the lower body of a human in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face.

In the current situation, he needs robotic subordinates.

In order to closely protect the father's safety and expand the scope of Red Star's real-life activities, a mechanical body similar to that of a human is needed to supplement the shortcomings of the mechanical spider.

"Commander, Minister Tang sent a message that the ships of all parties along the first chain of islands are evacuating quickly, leaving only some small surface ships patrolling the waters along the line."

Wei Jiang nodded without saying anything more.

This time, with the help of the military, the plan of Chouying and his gang to force the emperor to abdicate was disrupted, but the enemy still existed.

There is a high probability that assassinations like the one this afternoon will happen again in the future, so he must be fully prepared!

"Where's my dad? How is he now?"

Wei Jiang was always worried when he thought about his father who was still traveling in space.

"Help me connect to the video offline."

"OK, just a second."

Standing in front of a computer, Wei Jiang didn't have to wait too long before a picture appeared on the computer screen.

Wei Jiang was extremely familiar with the furnishings in the manta ray cabin and immediately spotted a pair of shoes floating in front of the camera.

".Wow, it's really big."

His father's voice came from the computer. Wei Jiang smiled and shouted:
"Dad, what are you doing?"

In the camera, two feet were shaking, and the father's surprised voice was heard, mixed with some electric current sounds. The quality of the communication between the ground and the sky was not particularly good.

"Wei Jiang, wait a minute."

Wei Yonghe slowly slid down from the top of the screen until he sat in the seat.

"How was your communication with the top management?"

"I heard from Red Star that the foreign ships have withdrawn. Is everything alright?"

"Will no one think of dealing with us anymore?"

Looking at his father's excited and anxious face, Wei Jiang said apologetically:

"The foreign ships have withdrawn, and this matter is over."

"It won't be so easy for them to deal with me next time."

"Don't worry, Dad. I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

Seeing that his father looked a little depressed, Wei Jiang changed the subject and asked:
"What were you doing just now?"

"It seems like you're having a lot of fun in outer space."

Wei Yonghe looked up ahead, and in order not to worry his son, he forced a smile and said:
"You are amazing, you can keep such a good thing hidden for so long."

“It’s really fun to have no gravity.”

"Let me tell you, there's a big guy in front of me right now." In the picture, Wei Yonghe leaned his head forward, and his eyes moved up and down and left and right as if he was looking for something.

"I don't know how to operate this thing of yours, otherwise I'll turn the camera around and let you see what I found."

Wei Jiang smiled brightly and replied:

"Don't worry, I'll take control."

"Red Star, transfer the image in front of the manta ray to the computer."

As soon as Wei Jiang finished speaking, a window appeared on the computer screen.

In the newly opened window, a large complex with a structure similar to the Chinese character "士" (Shi) is located in the center of the screen.

Judging from the proportion of the complex in the picture, the manta ray is very close to the complex at this time, because Wei Jiang can even see the red flag printed on the outer wall of the complex.

Tiangong Space Station!
Hongxing actually took his father to the Tiangong Space Station.

Wei Jiang didn’t know what the three astronauts in the space station were doing now, or whether they were startled by the black aircraft that appeared outside the space station.

He could clearly see the joy and pride on his father's face.

"Oh, that's awesome!"

"You actually ran to the vicinity of our space station."

In the picture, the father nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining as he looked out the porthole, and the depression just now disappeared.

Wei Jiang's heart moved and he asked:
"Dad, didn't you talk to some of the astronauts in the space station?"

Wei Yonghe on the computer screen looked down in surprise and said:
"Can I talk to the astronaut?"

"Doesn't the call have to be approved by the country?"

Wei Jiang laughed and replied:
"You're right, but Red Star can do the same."

"Wait a moment. I'll ask Hong Xing to help you contact the astronauts in the space station."

"Dad, you're really awesome. I've been up there so many times, but I've never been near a space station."

While Wei Jiang was speaking, Hongxing, which had been maintaining the communication process, received Wei Jiang's instructions and used the manta ray's internal communication equipment to simulate a signal to send a call request to the Tiangong space station.

The core module of the Tiangong space station is the management and control center of the space station, responsible for the unified management and control of the space station complex.

The three astronauts from the University of Tokyo were all gathered in the core module at this time. The small aircraft that suddenly appeared outside the space station had already attracted the attention of the space station radar.

"Alarm cleared, Shenzhou 19 crew, please take note!"

"Attention, Shenzhou 19 crew, the target aircraft is an advanced cross-medium aircraft developed by our secret laboratory."

"There is currently one crew member in the aircraft. The aircraft is not hostile. You don't need to worry."

"Attention, Shenzhou 19 crew, please pay close attention and be ready to initiate avoidance procedures at any time."

In the space-to-earth communication channel, the information and instructions from the Beidu Aerospace Control Center on the ground were synchronously completed.

The tension and panic of the three astronauts, who had just been extremely nervous, were relieved.

When they first saw the spacecraft outside the cabin, they even thought it was a visit from aliens!

After all, humans do not currently have the ability to manufacture such small, highly maneuverable, medium-free propulsion aircraft.

The three astronauts cannot be blamed for not knowing the identity of the extravehicular vehicle.

The life of active astronauts consists of closed training on Earth and then going into space to carry out manned space missions. They rarely have the opportunity to pay attention to current affairs news.

"I'm finally relieved. I was scared before."

"This thing suddenly appeared."

While one astronaut was sighing with his hand on his chest, the other two astronauts were closely watching the black aircraft through the camera outside the cabin.

Control the camera to point at the aircraft and try to increase the lens magnification to obtain more detailed image information of the aircraft.

"Hey, look what I see!"

A person pointed at the display screen, and the camera outside the cabin was aimed at the nose of the black aircraft.

The nose window of the black aircraft was transparent, and they were able to get a glimpse of the scene inside the cabin through the camera.

"That's a person!"

"It's the astronaut mentioned on the ground!"

The astronaut who had just been standing nearby and sighing came over hurriedly. He was also curious about what his compatriot in the spacecraft looked like.

As one of the few astronauts in Southeast University, they have never heard of the existence of other astronaut teams in the country.

beep~ beep~ beep~
The communication equipment in the core module began to sound a prompt, and the continuous prompts startled the three astronauts who were focusing on the computer screens.

How could there be unfamiliar communication calls in this scenario?

The three of them looked at each other and saw disbelief on each other's faces.

This is the vast space. They have been in the space station for several months and this has never happened before.

In space, besides them, there were only a few colleagues from the International Space Station.

If it weren't for this spacecraft, there would be no other space in space for humans to survive.

Thinking of this, one of the astronauts slowly turned his head to look at the laptop screen in front of the three people.

"It's him?"

The other two people finally reacted at this time. On the laptop screen, a head with short black hair was clearly visible, but the facial features could not be observed.

"Can you take it?"

The three of them were a little undecided. At this critical moment, it was Jing Peng, the commander, who finally made the decision.

"catch!"

"Since they are compatriots and a secret organization recognized by the ground, we should answer the call."

Someone made the decision, and the three of them stopped hesitating and reached out to click the button on the device next to them. There was a crackling sound of electricity at first.

The sound of electricity lasted only a short time. Before the three people could speak, a deep and excited male voice came over.

"Hello, hello, hello, are you the space heroes on the space station?"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

The three of them could tell that their compatriot was obviously very excited, which impacted the serious and solemn mood they were in.

After staying in the space station for several months, they were physically and mentally exhausted. Apart from daily space station operation and maintenance and testing work, the only people they communicated with were each other, ground staff and occasionally their families.

The sudden cordial greetings made the three of them feel warm inside.

"This is the Shenzhou 19 crew of the Dongda Tiangong Space Station. I am the crew commander Jing Peng."

"We hear your voice clearly. Hello, fellow countryman!"

In the laboratory of the agricultural machinery factory, Wei Jiang could also hear the voice of Jing Peng, the commander of the Shenzhou 19 crew.

Seeing his father become excited after hearing the voice, Wei Jiang could see the happiness and joy in his father's eyes.

Being able to get so close to the national space hero and even have a conversation with him, the honest father, who has worked hard to run the auto repair shop for most of his life, is extremely happy at this moment.

"Hello, Jing Yingxiong, I'm Wei Yonghe, the operator of the Workers' Love Auto Repair Station. I'm so happy to talk to you!"

“You are the heroes of Todai!”

The conversation, which took place 480 kilometers above the blue planet, involved Wei Jiang's father Wei Yonghe and the Shenzhou crew.

There were a lot of people listening in. In addition to Wei Jiang who was in the laboratory of the agricultural machinery factory, all the engineers on duty at the Dongda Beidu Aerospace Control Center were paying close attention to this conversation.

After communicating with the military and the Secret Service, they have confirmed the identity of the aircraft outside the space station.

Now we are more worried that this spacecraft will collide with the Tiangong, and the damage caused will be too great!

".I am Wei Yonghe, the operator of the Workers' Love Auto Repair Station"

When the sound of communication between the spacecraft and the Shenzhou 19 crew was heard, the command hall of the Space Control Center suddenly became noisy.

"Who is Wei Yonghe? Have you heard of him?"

"Are you sure? You slapped me and I didn't know if I was dreaming or not."

"Does anyone know this laborer. Auto repair station?"
