Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Just as the Moon Orbit Construction Commission was preparing to push the site from the Moon's orbit to the surface of the Moon, it had been a month since the Xia Guang left Mars orbit and embarked on a return journey.

With the completion of the last trajectory change, the Xia Guang, which has a small margin of work, has shut down the electric push system and continues towards the ground moon system in accordance with its inertia.

For Tevy, after a month of getting along, he has basically adjusted to his life here.

There are clean bedding, plenty of oxygen, and warm and delicious food.

For him to spend more than a month in the confined experimental colonial area of New Virginia, where there is no private space, everything here is paradise.

Especially when it comes to bathing, the Chinese have a lot more fun than NASA. The entire bathroom is a cylinder about one person tall and two steps wide, simulating the gravitational environment on Earth by means of a centrifugal acceleration provided by high-speed rotation around a fixed axis.

Without combining drawings, it may be difficult to describe the entire structure and its principles in detail. But simply put the experience, after the activation device, lying in it is like lying in a bathtub in your own bathroom, and the water beads that should be floating are split "sticky” on the cabin wall, not everywhere.

Due to the absence of external references, stay in this fully enclosed bathroom, after washing the body, the outlet outside the cabin wall will draw no drop of water from the cylinder with strong wind until the humidity in the unit drops to normal before the cylinder stops slowly.

At first glance, it's like a large centrifuge.

Such a luxurious way to bathe is unthinkable for a BFS ship.

Of course, this may not have anything to do with the fact that electricity is not expensive for Chinese people. From the moment they leave to the moment they are finally rescued, energy is something that must be carefully calculated and used...

If the only place on the ship that made Tevy feel a little dissatisfied, there would probably be no freedom.

There is only one bedplate shoulder-width apart from a table under the bed in a small room. He could not even leave his room except for bath time and meal time, most of the time only by sleeping.

The slightly depressed atmosphere prevented a little bit of comfort, and the round windows on the top of the bed were pitch-black, making it easy for people to develop a symptom similar to deep-sea phobia after a long time, so that he never opened that window.

Compared to the luxurious hardware facilities on board the Golden Heart and the full range of entertainment equipment, the cabin of the Charming is like a cargo hold that pulls cargo.

What can I say?

Experience is like going to jail.

Standing behind the quarantine door, Tevy put his hands against the door and looked at Johnson across the room and said, "How long until we get to Earth? ”

Johnson, sitting on the bed rolling over the book, did not raise his head and replied casually.

“Maybe a month and a half, maybe two months… or more. ”

Seeing the captain didn't seem very interested in taking care of himself, Tevye shrugged her shoulders and wanted to lie back in silence, but couldn't help but say, "Why do you think the Chinese won't let us go out? Are they still afraid of us--”

“Because we're not sure if you're carrying any bacteria or viruses on Mars, we can't give you a full examination. ”

Interrupting his words from the side, Liu Biao, wearing an in-cabin costume, walked over with a lunchbox.

Leaving the box on the table by the door, he laughed and said, "The conditions are tough, you just have to be patient. After all, this compartment was originally converted from a cargo compartment, only to sail within the Earth's moon system, and we never thought about flying this far. ”

Looking at the Chinese astronaut leaving after the meal, Tevy stretched his neck behind him and yelled, "Hey, man, can you guys consider putting a console in the cabin? Not everyone likes to spend their time reading books! ”

Liu Biaohao laughed and said: “I will reflect your opinion on the ground. Next time you get a chance, you should see a console. ”

“Next time? I don't want to sit a second time! ”

Without paying attention to the shouting behind her, Liu Biao disappeared at the door of the cabin.

Looking at the closing of the locked cabin door and the countdown to the unlocking of the cabin door, Tevy mumbled in a voice that everyone could hear: "This feeling is like going to jail. ”

Johnson said with no expression: "That's what's going on under the fence… Anyway, they took us back and put up with it honestly. ”

Think about it. It seems to be true.

At this point, Tevy suddenly remembered what the Chinese astronaut had said and realized a terrible detail.

He swallowed his mouth and said in a slightly trembling tone.

“Boss...”

Johnson: “What...”

Tevye: “If there are microbes or bacteria on Mars that don't exist on Earth, doesn't that mean we...”

“Don't think too much," said Johnson, turning the book in his hand over a page, leaning his mouth like he heard a joke that wasn't very funny, whispering in a fluctuating tone, "thinking too much will only upset you. Not to mention the possibility, not the certainty. ”

Tyvey wrathfully hammered his fists on a thick door panel.

“Shet! Those animals in the White House, what do they think of us? A lab rat? ”

On the other side of the room, Jones, listening to the conversation, sat on the bed with his knees, staring quietly out the starboard window.

For some time she has been reflecting on her life, on her choices, and on the Ares plan itself.

At first she had some confusion about why the end result was still the same, even though everyone had done the best.

But now she finally understands that the final outcome of the Ares plan may not be an accident.

From the beginning, this hasty trip to Mars was an unwise decision...

……

The day we put ourselves in the arms of the Earth, we arrived a little earlier than we thought.

Around the 50th day that the Xia Guang began to sail back from Mars orbit, a grey-covered planet, along with the blue behind it, gradually appeared outside the starboard window of the Xia Guang.

“… this is the Xia Guang, entering the station's operational orbit, requesting navigational support. ”

“… this is the Moon Palace, navigating for you. ”

“Got it, thanks. ”

After a brief communication response, the active deceleration of the Xia Guang was completed by reverse jetting of the wing engine, slowly merging above the orbit of the Moon Palace operation.

Over time, in that deep, dark sky, a silver-white bright light gradually rose, reflecting on the icy starboard window, along with the morning glow from the skyline.

Looking away at the approaching Moon Palace, Johnson sitting on the bed slab closed the book in his hand and his blue pupils widened.

“God… is this the Chinese space station? ”

The moment I actually saw him, he couldn't even believe it.

Because everything in front of him is far more shocking than the one he saw in the concept map.

The ship is getting closer.

The space station in the distance is also getting closer.

Originally the grain-sized silver white of the trout turned into a flying dragon with wings.

Thousands of squares of solar panels are like open wings, and the scaly heat sinks are like upside down dragon scales. A cylindrical space compartment extending outward from the midline forms its robust skeleton and indestructible steel body.

It's like a fortress.

And, a piece of art…

Meanwhile, sitting in the cabin of the Xia Guang, with a few tired captains Xu Zhenghong on his face, the corner of his mouth finally pulled a smile, stretched out his right fist and sat next to him Liu Biao touched, then pressed his index finger to the side of the helmet and said with a clear voice.

“This is the Xia Guang, we have successfully entered the orbit, request docking! ”

Wait just two seconds.

Answering voice, coming from a communication channel.

“… this is the Moon Palace. ”

“Welcome home, our heroes! ”
