Chapter 413 Disintegration
After about 15 minutes of rapid maneuvering orbit change, the Xuanwu-class spacecraft slowly parked in the docking area of ​​the new Kaohsiung space station.

"Phew! It's safe." Chen Liang relaxed after driving the spaceship into the docking area.

Within the scope of the new Kaohsiung space station, due to the existence of electromagnetic field generators and condensed matter shields, the overall security is very high.

Andrew and others were brought into the space station by Liao Qingsong. At this time, Andrew and others carefully looked at the new Kaohsiung space station.

Unlike the thick and bloated spacesuits of Andrew and others, the spacesuits of Liao Qingsong and others are very close-fitting and light.

At first Andrew thought it was a spacesuit inside the cabin, but as soon as he entered the space station, Liao Qingsong took off the spacesuit outside the cabin.

"Everyone! You can take off your spacesuits now, and change to the spacesuits in our cabin."

Liao Qingsong opened a locker and took out some space suits in the cabin, and handed them to Andrew and others.

"Thank you."

Andrew and the others quickly took over and put on the spacesuits under the guidance of Liao Qingsong. As for the previous spacesuits of Andrew and the others, they were all packed up, and these spacesuits would be transported back to Blue Star for processing.

"Liao, are all your extravehicular spacesuits so thin?" Andrew asked his own doubts.

"It's made of new materials, and its comprehensive performance is at least 3 to 5 times that of ordinary spacesuits." Liao Qingsong said while opening another locker.

Six holographic bracelets were handcuffed on the hands of Andrew and others, and then Liao Qingsong registered information for them one by one.

"This bracelet is your temporary ID card at the new Kaohsiung space station. It will remind you which areas you can enter and which areas are prohibited."

Liao Qingsong gave some information about the new Kaohsiung space station to Andrew and others, so that they would not be in a hurry.

"Welcome everyone to the New Kaohsiung Space Station. I am the base chief here. You can call me base chief Zhang, or the base chief." Zhang Yunfeng floated over with Dr. Li Nan.

"Hello, Chief Zhang." Andrew and Zhang Yunfeng clasped their hands.

"Which one is the injured Mr. Alexander?" Zhang Yunfeng glanced at everyone and asked.

"I am!" replied the feeble Alexander.

Zhang Yunfeng introduced: "We have prepared a ward for you. This is Dr. Li Nan from our space station. She is a doctor of medicine who is engaged in space disease research."

"Can't you send Alexander back to the ground as soon as possible?" Andrew asked quickly.

Zhang Yunfeng spread his hands and replied: "Because of this space accident, the first layer of low-earth orbit, that is, below 500 kilometers of low-earth orbit, is full of space junk. The spacecraft in the space station does not have the ability to resist space junk for the time being. We need It will take about half a month for the spaceship to be remodeled on the ground, and you can only stay here temporarily during this time."

Andrew also knew the danger of space junk when he heard it. It is very normal for the new Kaohsiung space station not to take risks.

"As for Alexander's injury, we have medical equipment and medicine in the space station, so don't worry about it for now." Zhang Yunfeng comforted.

When Zhang Yunfeng settled the astronauts on the International Space Station, at the same time the International Space Station orbited.

Countless satellite debris is like a torrent, rapidly approaching the scarred International Space Station.

The moment the two sides met, they were filled with destructive kinetic energy, raging in an orbital area.

Sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, but the debris generated by the collision cannot be avoided. Space agencies all over the world have observed the fragmented appearance of the International Space Station.

Suddenly, "Node-1", an important connection module of the International Space Station, was hit by a solar panel.

In an instant, "Node-1" was torn into two pieces. With the tearing of "Node-1", the International Space Station instantly entered a state of disintegration.

The entire International Space Station disintegrated into three major parts and countless small fragments. These things began to collide with each other again, and countless small fragments were splashed in all directions.

The three large space station wrecks are slowly descending into orbit, but because the orbital altitude of the International Space Station is relatively high, if there is no human interference, it may take several months to completely fall into the atmosphere.

The more frightening thing is that the wreckage of the International Space Station is completely out of control. No one knows where they will fall. If it is an uninhabited land such as an ocean or a desert, it is okay to say, but if it is a densely populated city, the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition, the disintegration of the International Space Station this time created countless space junks, and these debris became a deadly danger in low-Earth orbit.

For a while, the international community began to blame NASA and Space Exploration Corporation. After all, the instigator of this space accident was Space Exploration Corporation. To be precise, it was their company's Starlink 66 satellite.

The Outer Space Committee also held an emergency meeting overnight, asking the space exploration company to suspend the Starlink program, and asking NASA to find a way to drop the wreckage of the International Space Station into the spacecraft graveyard in the South Pacific.

The Space Exploration Company directly took a big scapegoat, but its arms could not twist its thighs. Elon Musk could only announce the suspension of the Starlink project, and before the end of this year, a planned Starlink satellite fell into the South Pacific.

However, NASA does not want to undertake the handling of the wreckage of the International Space Station. The new administrator Brian Garcia said that the responsibility for the disintegration of the International Space Station is not on NASA. In addition, the International Space Station is also a cooperative project of [-] countries. If it is really responsible, it is also Sixteen countries took on it together.

In the face of NASA's hooliganism, other countries have no choice but to look at the Space Development Committee with their watery eyes, hoping that the Space Development Committee can solve this matter.

However, whoever likes to take advantage of this kind of bullying will do it, and the Space Development Committee has no interest, unless countries are willing to pay, otherwise it will be unnecessary.

Now that the space in low-Earth orbit is full of space junk, it is not a big trouble for the Space Development Committee. Just put a condensed matter shield on the spacecraft. As for whether other countries live or die, it is up to me.

New Kaohsiung Space Station.

Andrew and others were arranged in cabins 23 and 24. These are two standard living cabins, and one standard living cabin can provide accommodation for four people.

Andrew, Luka and Oleg are in cabin 23, Christina and Jessica are in cabin 24, and the injured Alexander is in cabin 28 (medical cabin).

As special guests, Andrew and the others were restricted to a specific area, but they didn't complain. Originally, this was their space station, and it was already very good to be able to rescue themselves and others.

Andrew is in a passage corridor, but this is a specially designed passage corridor. The dome here is transparent. Through this transparent dome, he can observe the large-scale new Kaohsiung space station, as well as the starry sky and the sun.

Now the new Kaohsiung space station is orbiting close to the side of the sun, and Andrew is warmed by the sun, which is difficult for the international space station to enjoy.

"Andrew." Christina floated over.

"What's the matter? You're not in a good mood." Andrew turned around and asked.

Christina said in a depressed mood: "An hour ago, the International Space Station disintegrated."

"It's expected, maybe this is fate, we can only accept this reality." Andrew replied helplessly.

For a while, the two basked in the sun in silence, the grandeur of the new Kaohsiung space station, and the disintegration and collapse of the international space station, just like the forces behind them.
