I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"Teacher, cameraman, please go back to the station and take pictures of the entire space shuttle."

Guo Fan was wearing a spacesuit and standing under the launch tower, 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 the Pioneer space shuttle is standing on it.

There are still 4 hours left before takeoff, and they will have to enter the space shuttle shortly after taking the photos.

It has been almost two years since the filming of The Wandering Earth began, and the space shooting promised by Lin Ju is finally coming true.

The entire crew, including actors, totaling 12 people is quite streamlined, and almost everyone has to wear multiple hats to ensure that the filming is completed smoothly.

There are 14 astronauts traveling with them, including 8 base engineers who have never been to space. This means that Pioneer will send 26 people to the Advance space station this time.

During the estimated 14-day filming period, the Forward will dock with three H2 space shuttles at the same time, occupying three of the four large docking ports and housing 38 personnel. It will soon set a new record for the number and weight of manned spacecraft crews. record.

With so many people, the original crew cabin space of the Pioneer is certainly not enough, but this time its cargo hold is equipped with a crew cabin that was originally intended to transport 108 people. This time it will hold 21 passengers.

However, the extra space was not wasted. In addition to retaining 24 seats, all the remaining 14 rows of chairs were removed for transportation. 7 tons of scientific research equipment and 20 tons of supplies will be sent to the Advance.

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

The 12 crew members and actors of the crew were all placed in the crew cabin, but after Guo Fan's persuasion, they were allowed to place a camera in the cockpit, which could provide precious real take-off footage.

The cargo hold is actually very comfortable. Although it is a 3+3 layout, it is still quite spacious with a width of nearly 8 meters. The only drawback is that there are no portholes, which makes him very regretful that he cannot see outside.

So he didn't complain at all about Wu Jing grabbing the position near the bulkhead, since everyone was pretty much the same anyway.

It took a lot of energy for the 21 people in the crew cabin to adjust their posture and fasten their seat belts in the upright space shuttle. When all this was completed, it was only more than an hour before the launch. Guo Fan already felt that something had appeared on his body. Some sweat.

"It would be great if we were on the Nine Chapters. It would be better if the spacecraft flew directly from the ground to the space station for docking. There is no need to edit it in post-production. It will be a qualified science fiction film."

Wu Jing: "It's a pity that President Lin is not here... I almost asked him to come to space to make a guest appearance."

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

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

After a year of high-intensity launches, H2 missions have become commonplace. The command center has trained several batches of skilled personnel, so the atmosphere seems very relaxed.

An hour passed quite quickly. After the ignition command was issued, the Xinyuan-2A rocket, which had performed five missions, took off again with the space shuttle, and continued to rise with 26 astronauts.

In the footage sent back by the rocket, Guo Fan and Wu Jing both opened their eyes wide and felt the huge overload from the 21 engines.

The crew this time was all young, so it was just a little bit stressful for them.

The overload did not last long. The rocket separated directly after sending the space shuttle into low orbit. It took several minutes for the Pioneer to start its own engine. It is expected to be docked with the Advance two hours later.

…

"Brother Jing, give me a hand!"

"I can't stand either!"

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

Two and a half hours had passed since the launch. After the Pioneer docked successfully, they loosened their seat belts, but except for a few moves that they reluctantly followed their own ideas at the beginning, they were now in a state of chaos.

Fortunately, the remaining nine reserve astronauts at the base were able to provide help. With their reminders, the crew quickly mastered the essentials, and it took them a while to get used to it before they could climb up and enter the space station.

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

The 12 people who were able to come up this time have all gone through official background checks and received more confidentiality education than space training. All of them were incorporated into the official organization and signed confidentiality agreements. Everyone was very cooperative.

Then the crew and others were led to the "Zi Mo" cabin to gather and prepare for the welcome ceremony. Only Li Sheng and other astronauts and a few Xinyuan engineers who came up with them were left.

They returned to the Pioneer's cargo hold in a tacit understanding, unwrapped the top package together, and then revealed composite boxes that looked like coffins.

The engineer opened one, revealing a beautiful woman lying quietly with her arms folded.

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

If the color of the dress is changed to white, Li Sheng will think that she is a very beautiful female host or bridesmaid, and her exquisite face will only appear in those scenes in his mind.

His first reaction now was that he felt that his perspective position was a bit rude. Even if he tried hard to convince himself that this was just a robot, he could not tell any clues from the appearance.

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

However, the engineer who opened the lid was obviously not that shocked. Robot No. 2... there were more life stewards in the base than dogs, and they had already become numb.

He pressed the snow-white skin on her chest very neatly, and the robot's eyes immediately opened. A blue light that did not belong to humans finally appeared in the equally animated eyeballs, which accurately shone on the engineer's face. .

"Permission identification: BA35045, you have entered developer mode, and the first generation intelligent multi-purpose life housekeeper number 2101 is at your service."

Robot No. 2101 suddenly spoke, which surprised all the astronauts on the space station, because both "her" tone and the mouth shape on her face were extremely natural, not like a robot at all, and there was no dullness in her words. .

The engineer looked back at Li Sheng:

"According to the rules of the space station, you are the top person in charge now, so it is up to you to name her."
