Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The Xiaguang sailing in deep space slowly approached the silvery "port".

Immediately afterwards, a pair of long "landing gears" slowly extended from under the nose of the Xiaguang, pointed at the interface section at the lower end of the space station, and then slowly approached.

I sat in the cabin and watched the space station approaching outside the porthole. Johnson's heart almost touched his throat, and his nervous palms exuded sweat.

The docking of plutonium spacecraft has always been a difficult point in aerospace technology.

This not only tests the hardware strength of a country's industrial camera accuracy, spacecraft material strength, engine and its control technology, but also a series of software strengths such as computer vision measurement technology.

In particular, the requirements for the orbital altitude and speed accuracy of the spacecraft are harsh to an outrageous degree. Often, the ignition window of the engine will be compressed to within one second, and the docking failure will result in one second earlier and one second later .

At the beginning of the US Gemini manned space program, it took almost a year for the Gemini 6 and 7 to meet. However, after maintaining a distance of 30 centimeters and flying for 20 minutes, the two spacecraft eventually failed to achieve docking. It wasn't until the following year that the Gemini 8 successfully docked with an unmanned target spacecraft that the United States truly grasped this technology.

However, the docking of manned spacecraft was not until the mid-1970s, when the United States and the Soviet Union "shake hands and make peace" in the field of space, and finally achieved the concerted efforts of the two superpowers.

One of the main reasons why the Apollo program did not choose to launch the lunar landing component in stages at that time was to go to the moon after the "convergence" of high orbits. One of the main reasons was that the docking was too difficult. In contrast, high-thrust rockets are more acceptable in terms of risk and cost.

Compared to Tyvy and Jones, Johnson has served in the NASA astronaut team for much longer, and he knows how difficult it is.

However, just before he responded, the pair of "landing gears" of Xiaguang had been inserted under the multifunctional docking bay of Yuegong.

With a slight to almost unrecognizable jitter, Xiaguang successfully connected the "landing gear" to the space station and slowly pulled itself towards the space station as the "landing gear" contracted.

In the end, the docking devices of two spacecraft, one large and one small, were tightly combined.

Then ...

There's no after that.

The docking process of the entire spacecraft did not give people a sense of tension at all, and it was even too simple to make it unacceptable.

"... WTF?"

Looking dumbfounded at everything outside the porthole, Johnson seemed to be completely there as if he had never seen the world before.

He has been trained in this area of ​​the NASA astronaut team. He is very clear that the docking of spacecraft is not the case at all!

的 The correct attitude of the spacecraft docking in outer space should be to fly the spacecraft to the front of the space station, then turn the direction to slow down, and wait for the space station to "catch up."

The operation of releasing the landing gear directly like Xiaguang and taking the initiative to fly up to the space station is unheard of for him!

At this moment, the signal light of the hatch was on.

As the door of the room was unlocked, Tai Wei, holding the door frame floating out of his room, moved his lower limbs, and then saw Johnson staying there and asked, confused.

"Man, what's wrong with you?"

Johnson looked at him strangely and said.

"... Did you see it just now? Those Chinese people are docking the spacecraft."

Facing the captain's weird gaze, Tai Wei scratched his head frowning and shook his head.

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

Johnson sighed,

"... when I didn't ask."

I asked a stupid question like this, he must be crazy.

According to the indicator light, three colonists returning from Mars came to meet in the cabin. Immediately afterwards, the alloy door in the middle of the cabin slowly opened, and Liu Biao, wearing the spacesuit in the cabin, floated in.

"Xiaguang has successfully docked at the Lunar Palace Lunar Space Station. We will check your physical condition in half an hour and disinfect the space inside the spacecraft ..."

At this time, Liu Biao noticed suddenly that there was a ghostly expression on the face of the white male astronaut, so he smiled and greeted him, "Are you okay?"

我 "I ... well," Johnson returned, his throat knot moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

Liu Biao stared at him in confusion: "What did you do?"

Johnson opened his mouth, wondering where to ask and how to speak.

Do you directly ask "How do you do spacecraft docking?"

Perhaps for them, passing the access station directly is just a matter of course, just like his understanding of spacecraft docking technology.

I just can't accept this reality. China's aerospace technology has progressed to just a few details, which will make him feel dazzled.

Looking at the friendly smiling Hua Guo astronaut, Johnson grinned stiffly.

"Nothing ... when I didn't ask."

Although it is the same sentence, at this moment his heart is completely different ...

After the multifunctional docking module of Xiaguangguang and Yuegong was connected, three Mars colonizers led by Liu Biao, passed through the connection port, and entered the airlock chamber of the multifunctional docking module.

When there is no docking of the spacecraft, this is the buffer zone for astronauts in and out of the space station. Astronauts working outside the cabin will change their spacesuits, check equipment, and adjust to air pressure ...

However, because the spacecraft is connected, the airlock chamber is regarded as a zero checkpoint.

"... You are waiting here. After a while, there will be a professional doctor to check your health. Once I have confirmed your health, I will consider taking you into the Moon Palace."

I looked at Liu Biao standing at the door of the cabin, and Johnson, who had just taken off the spacesuit in the cabin, asked, "What do we need now?"

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Eat something, drink something, and then ... the medical team from the United Nations may need you to provide a little feces, urine and urine."

Jones blushed and asked, "Here?"

当然 "Of course it can't be here," Liu Biao coughed, and pointed to the alloy door inlaid on the wall next to it. "There is a separate toilet next to it."

He did not let these colonists wait too long.

With the help of two staff members of the station station of Moon Palace, Johnson and others quickly completed the physical examination. At the same time, metabolite samples collected from the three people were also sent to a special experimental cabin.

The analysis of these samples was performed by Prof. Leslie from the Institute of Microbiology, Lehmann Medical Center, Switzerland, and researcher Zhao Shuxuan from the Institute of Biomedicine, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Both scholars are big cattle in the field of biology, and have published many articles in the field of astrobiology in the unpopular branch. Although it is not the most authoritative Daniel, it is also a top-tier scholar.

And the most important thing is that both are under 45 years of age, relatively young, and have good physical fitness. Although many authoritative Daniels also want to seize this opportunity, they are too old to stare at the weightless simulation device of Starry Sky Technology.

Time passes by every minute.

Whether it is outside or inside the experimental cabin, everyone is anxiously waiting for the results of the test.

At this moment, Professor Leslie, who was sitting in front of the electron microscope, whispered a whisper, and in his eyes was a trace of surprise and ecstasy.

"Oh, Shet ..."

"What did you find?" Quickly walked to the electron microscope, Zhao Shuxuan pushed the glasses on the lower bridge ~ www.readwn.com ~ to get closer to the computer screen, frowned, "... is this?"

"A strange anaerobic bacterium with thicker cell walls and cell membranes ... wait, let me correct it, it's a spore! No wonder it can survive on Mars," constantly adjusting the magnification of the electron microscope, staring at Professor Lesley looked at the screen and became excited. "God ... it's incredible."

Staring at the image on the screen, Zhao Shuxuan's eyes flashed with excitement as well, but soon he gradually condensed.

"We may be in trouble."

Leslie looked back at Zhao Shuxuan with a smile, and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"That's true in theory, but very exciting? Isn't it?"

I sat in the isolation cabin and waited quietly, but after a long time, no movement came.

Just as Johnson and others began to feel a little restless, the hatch suddenly opened. It was not just the Chinese who had brought them here before, and beside him a man who looked slightly more majestic.

Johnson faintly remembered that he seemed to have seen this side when he was on the Xiaguang. If he didn't guess wrong, he would probably be the captain of the Xiaguang.

Before Xie had time to ask what was going on, Tai Wei, who was sitting next to him, took a step ahead and hurriedly stood up to ask.

"What happened? What medical checkup takes so long? When can we go home—"

"Sorry, guys."

Increasing the volume interrupted the general problem of the black brother's renju gun. Xu Zhenghong's expression was a little dignified, and he said with a heavy voice.

"We may have to postpone the time we go home."
