Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Professor Reston swore that, even after a Hollywood science fiction episode, he never expected to see such a shocking scene in real life.

Only eight elongated robotic arms were seen extending outward from the edge of the Moon Palace station, waving flexibly between the three spacecraft assemblies, just like the spider's feet.

As if wearing needle leads, more and more spacecraft components were being linked together, gradually outlining the outline of the Xufu colonial ship.

“This is impossible...”

The expression on his face was like crazy, and Professor Phil Gould, standing next to Professor Reston, kept his lips open, muttering and repeating the same words.

“Assembling an out-of-board spacecraft through a mechanical arm on a space station… how is this possible! ”

The look on Professor Reston's face was equally shocking.

Assemble the spacecraft on the station!

And still operate with a robotic arm!

It sounds like a dream.

This is not as simple as spacecraft docking, and it is not exaggerated to say that it is even an order of magnitude higher than the technical difficulty of spacecraft docking alone.

Without separate power systems, these spacecraft components floating in outer space are not much safer than space debris.

Imagine how difficult it is to clean up the high-speed moving space trash and how impractical it is to assemble these dispersed space components with robotic arms on the station.

A slightly inadvertent failure to control speed and orbital altitude could lead to collisions between the station and those floating spacecraft components, resulting in severe space accidents!

“Could it be holographic projection technology?” Professor Phil Gould couldn't help but say, "I heard they have a holographic projection technique that can be fake and messy… shown at the Bird's Nest Stadium. ”

“This sounds even more daunting than assembling a spaceship in space. ”

When I heard Professor Phil Gould speaking like a dream, Professor Reston's face was filled with a bitter smile.

Instead, he heard about the holographic projection of the bird's nest, and he even saw a video taken on youtube. A lot of people have evaluated it as a new era of film media technology, and the images in front of people are almost as realistic as they really are.

And yet, he's clear that this thing needs water vapors and stuff like that as an imaging medium, where does it come from in space?

In fact, in addition to that robotic arm stretched out of the Moon Palace, there was something more confusing about him.

Is there really no problem with this random assembly method?

You know, manned spacecraft have very high sealing requirements for their cabins. Especially in accelerated progression, each additional interface increases the risk by one point.

And now...

These Chinese have dismantled the entire Xu Fu into large pieces, and even the cabin has been split in half. Can this random assembly really keep the astronauts in the cabin safe?

Professor Reston has considerable doubts about this.

However, the suspicion did not linger in his heart for long.

Soon all his confusion was dispersed by that shocking scene.

He didn't just see it.

Everyone standing in the command room saw it.

Seeing only the front end of one of the robotic arms on the Lunar Palace, suddenly flashed a series of faint white lights that could not be ignored. The white light, like a dagger, swept through the junction of the spacecraft housing.

And at the same time, a crazy thought came out of Professor Reston's head.

Welding!

They put a "welding gun” on the robot arm!

Although the construction of space additives was not news, in the 1980s Soviet astronauts had carried out the first human outboard welding experiments outside the Salute 7 space station, and similar studies had been carried out in the United States after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and yet he had heard of cases in which such technology had been applied to the assembly of large spacecraft!

And what happened at this moment on the Moon Palace was a complete disruption of his understanding of the space industry.

This is like assembling a spacecraft…

It's like reassembling a space shuttle on a space station!

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Professor Reston immediately looked to the assistant standing beside him. And despite the staring face of the assistant, he ordered in a serious tone.

“Send the footage immediately to Pentagon Space Command! ”

The assistant nodded quickly after returning to God in surprise, and then took a piss outside the command room.

Returning his gaze to the big screen, Professor Leston pinched his fist dead and gradually covered a layer of haze between his eyebrows.

The space construction technology possessed by China is likely to have exceeded their estimates.

If they can really assemble spacecraft over 100 tons in outer space...

Theoretically, it's about building a bigger one.

Nor will it be too difficult.

……

In fact, plasma welding is just one of the least visible of all the other cutting-edge technologies applied in this “simple” space port.

But by contrast, other technologies are not so easy to observe directly.

Even scientists from all over the world who work on the Moon Palace know nothing about these things, let alone optical satellites over 300,000 kilometres away.

And these technical reserves are the very bottom gas that the Chinese state does not hide from the fire plan.

What if they see us?

It's not easy to copy something, even if it's in front of you.

And regardless of the waves in Professor Reston's and Professor Phil Gould's hearts, foreign scientists on the Lunar Palace at this moment were surprised by what happened outside the starboard window, and could not speak at all.

Staring dead at the evolving colonial ship Xu Fu, Professor Pearson of the Department of Physics at Harvard University, his face was filled with unspeakable shock.

He is a professor of particle physics who came here through the IMCRC.

Since the completion of the Lunar Johnson Collider, he has served at the Lunar Examination Station and the Lunar Palace.

Even though he has been surprised by all kinds of novel space technologies for some time now, he is still unable to control the shock that comes from the bottom of his heart.

He finally couldn't bear to ask.

“Are those robotic arms... being operated? ”

“How is that possible? Who has the ability to manipulate eight hands at the same time,” standing beside him, Professor Shinko, who also served at the lunar examination station, said with a bragging mouth, “If not surprisingly, this thing should be controlled by artificial intelligence. Didn't Moon Palace change the chipset on the central computer a while ago? Maybe it was then that I upgraded the technology… Of course, I was just speculating, and I didn't know exactly what was going on. ”

Without concealing the envy of the divine state, Professor Pearson moved his gaze away from the starboard window and looked at Professor Yan Xinxue, "Your space technology is so impressive... I envy you. ”

Upon hearing this honest compliment, Yan Xinxue laughed a little embarrassed.

Although he is not an expert in space.

But to be honest, this feeling of being looked at with envy by scholars from other countries still makes his mind quite dark...
