Chapter 116 Manned Spaceflight IV
With the secondary ignition of the aircraft.The speed of the aircraft is also gradually increasing, and the altitude is getting higher and higher. Finally, when the aircraft reaches the forbidden earth orbit 24 kilometers from the ground, this is a very special orbit called geosynchronous orbit, also known as [-] The hourly orbit, this distance already belongs to the high orbit of the earth, and in the previous life, the space stations of various countries were generally around [-] kilometers, so this distance is already very far away for the countries on the earth now.
Originally, the Ming Empire also wanted to build the space station at a place about [-] kilometers above the ground, but it was opposed by Zhu Lei. Finally, under Zhu Lei's insistence, it was finally built at this height, because Zhu Lei planned to put the space station at this height after consideration. It is also built at this height, as a transit station for the earth to the moon in the future.
This is because he discussed with many aerospace experts and scholars that the first thing humans should consider when going into space is not the interplanetary space, but the intersatellite space, which is often called the space of the Earth-Moon system.
And in this space there is a very special orbit that the earth prohibits orbit.The earth’s forbidden orbit is about [-] earth’s radius away from the earth, which is about [-] kilometers. The most important thing is that this distance is just under the protection of the earth’s magnetic field, although there will be It has a great impact, but compared with the far orbit of the earth, or the moon is mainly directly exposed to the solar wind, the safety is undoubtedly much improved.
This time Zhu Lei plans to build the first human space station at this height, and future space cities will also be built at this height.
After reaching the forbidden orbit, the engine of the aircraft was turned off, and at this time, the sound of the earth's ground control tower was broadcast.
"Suzaku-[-], please answer. Now report the status of the aircraft."
"This is Suzaku No. [-], the aircraft is normal."
"Start turning on the solar panels now!!!" Following various instructions from the ground, the solar panels and various functions of Suzaku-[-] also started to activate, and Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan also started their work.
At this time, everyone in Zhu Lei's fief was nervously looking at the data of the aircraft and the dynamic simulation screen on the screen.
When the aircraft was re-ignited and successfully flew to the scheduled geostationary orbit, everyone cheered loudly, including the foreign personnel in special places. These people included various senior officials of the Ming cabinet and officials from various countries. and reporters.
After reaching the geostationary orbit, as the solar panels were slowly opened, the ground control tower also started a live broadcast.
"I'm Zhu Lei, please answer." As the figures of Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan appeared on the huge screen, Zhu Lei walked to the console and said to the communicator.
"I'm Chen Jiangang, sir, hello! I can hear you." Because Chen Jiangang's comprehensive physical fitness was the best among all the people tested in the astronaut training center, he was appointed as the pilot of the Suzaku-[-] The captain, and Yao Yanan is also the best in physical fitness among the female astronauts, so she was appointed as the deputy captain.
Originally, there were three other astronauts on this Suzaku-[-], but only two of them were arranged for this flight. After all, this is the first test flight of human beings. The three of them had no chance to go to heaven this time.
"Is your situation and the current situation all right?" Zhu Lei asked.
"Sir, our situation is very good, and the condition of the aircraft is also very good now, please rest assured, sir." Chen Jiangang replied.
"Well! That's good. If you encounter any trouble, you must keep calm and contact the ground immediately. If it is really impossible, then return immediately. Even if you are halfway through the work, you must first maintain your own safety. After all, we can continue to build without equipment, so we must protect our own safety at all times, followed by equipment.”
"Okay! Sir!" Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan replied at the same time.
"That's good! Let's say hello to friends from all over the world who are watching your live broadcast!" Zhu Lei said.
"Hi everyone! I'm Chen Jiangang."
"Hi everyone! I'm Yao Yanan."

The Suzaku-[-] aerospace vehicle first stayed in geostationary orbit for a while before slowly opening the hatch of the cargo compartment.Then the manipulator inside the aircraft slowly took out the various modules of the core cabin of the space station inside, and then assembled them, and then Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan went out of the cabin to fix these modules that had been fixed by the manipulator with various screws. Wait until it's fixed.
The modules they need to assemble this time are very large, and the work is also very complicated. In fact, the various modules of the core cabin they assembled this time are actually various experimental instruments, and each module is an experimental instrument. The weight of these instruments is very large.
Fortunately, most of the work is done by the manipulators on the aircraft. They only do some fine work, and they wear exoskeleton armor, which is a defense against accidents in space, especially during work. The ability is very good.
But even so, they would have to stay here for nearly a week to complete all the work.
Of course, the content of their work and life will not be broadcast live, and there are many things that will be kept as secrets, including the country and Zhu Lei, respectively.
Working in space is very thankless, and I feel that the rhythm of the whole person has become very slow.Even Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan have now reached the realm of first-class masters in the innate stage, and they are still wearing exoskeleton armor.
Even so, the two of them felt very tired after working for four or five hours.
After completing the day's scheduled tasks, they returned to the aerospace vehicle to prepare for a rest. Since this is the earth's synchronous orbit, the alternation of day and night is not like that in low-earth orbit. It only takes a few hours, or even an hour at all. Neither, but it is similar to the timeline of the earth, which is also the case only in the geosynchronous orbit.
After a few days of installation, the main part of the core module of the entire space station has been completed. Now you can basically see the appearance of the space station. The assembled core module is 80 meters long and 30 meters wide. The two solar panels look like a pair of huge wings.
There are also eight miniature plasma thrusters around the core module. Although these thrusters are very inconspicuous for a huge space station, these miniature thrusters can provide enough thrust for the current core module. It can provide orbit change and movement for this core module.
Moreover, the power of these propellers is not very large, and the power provided by the solar sail is enough for the lowest power of these propellers to work, not to mention that there are nearly two tons of gold batteries in the core cabin, which is not needed at all. Worried about power shortages.
Moreover, these miniature plasma thrusters will also be installed on other parts of the space station in the future. Although these plasma thrusters are only a few centimeters in size, they are very large for the space station, because after installing these miniature thrusters, it means that the space station Each part has its own power, so it can be separated quickly in times of danger.Don't worry about doing huge damage.The most important thing is the safety of the people inside, and even in an emergency, you can even ride directly on various parts of the space station.Return directly to Earth.
It can be said that when designing this space station, the designers have put the safety of the space station personnel in the first place. In the event of an accident, various means can be used to do their best to protect the safety of the personnel in the space station.
Thank you; my name is Junjie, and I will reward you with 500 starting coins.
Destiny o Destiny, reward 100 starting coins.
