The Lingxiao Space Station.

This is China’s first space station permanently stationed in space. The first Lingxiao core module was launched in 20 years and after the international space station was decommissioned in 22 years, the Lingxiao has taken shape and became the only space station in orbit. carry out.

The core module of the Russian Mir also chose to connect to the Lingxiao after the International Space Station was decommissioned and disbanded.

The Lingxiao was independently manufactured by China, and its volume and space are smaller than those of the International Space Station. It can only accommodate three astronauts for experimental research.

The three astronauts will return to the ground after a period of time, allowing new astronauts to settle in for research.

Among the astronauts currently stationed in the space station, there are two Chinese astronauts, one is a Russian astronaut, and a special intelligent robot is also stationed here.

In the core cabin of the Lingxiao, 16 cubic meters of space is not too small. It can accommodate three astronauts and is large enough.

At this time, all three of them were paying attention to the news coming from the ground.

The Goddess is about to send supplies and some experimental materials.

As a customer of "Express Delivery", they received the news as early as a week ago when the Institute of Space Research of the Academy of Sciences and the March Ant Group reached a cooperation.

Today is the day when the Goddess takes off, and the three astronauts are also watching the live broadcast.

Fei Jun stood in front of the screen, holding a gripper in his hand.

In space, exercise is very necessary to prevent muscle degeneration and atrophy. When he usually takes time out, he will practice.

He is the first astronaut to enter the space station and one of the astronauts who have been in space many times. At present, he is the highest commander on the space station.

Fei Jun was also a little nervous at this time, but also a little expectant.

The Goddess is not an aircraft of the Aerospace Group, but the aircraft of China Enterprise, for him, is also a manifestation of China's strength.

"The Goddess is expected to arrive in 20 minutes. We are ready to meet the courier." Fei Jun looked at the data and time passed and said.

"This plane looks so cool." Rovsky said in some accented Chinese.

Rovsky is the Russian astronaut who has moved in. He once resided on the now-retired International Space Station. Among the three of them, he is an old astronaut with the most experience in space activities.

Because Lingxiao is the China Space Station, all the button signs on the space station are in Chinese.

In order to better communicate and experiment, mastering Chinese is one of the most basic conditions for entering Lingxiao, and all daily communication here uses Chinese.

"It's really cool. After docking, we can go in and take a look. The ground said that the plane is full of intelligent robot drivers."

Liu Yanyun also looked forward to it.

She is the only female astronaut among the three astronauts.

Although a woman is permanently stationed in space, it is sometimes inconvenient, but she persisted, and her resilience was not lost to the two male astronauts.

"I can't wait, Xiaowa is not so good." Rovsky said.

Xiaowa is a robot that is stationed in space. It is transformed by the intelligent robot of the March Ant Group and written into the intelligent core of Xia Wa, who has been successfully researched by the Academy of Sciences. It is stationed in the space station and sometimes replaces astronauts to complete some more dangerous missions.

"Starting to prepare."

Fei Jun placed the gripper in his hand, and slightly borrowed force with his arm, and floated towards the core compartment door.

20 minutes passed quickly.

When the Goddess approached the space station, its speed had been adjusted to be almost the same as that of the space station, and the docking port in front of the abdomen was also exposed, and it was slowly approaching the docking port of the space station.

"Ready to dock...300 cm...Ready to dock...280 cm..." The artificial intelligence carried by the Goddess repeated the current state over and over again.

The logo of the interface has appeared on the screen, and it is constantly being adjusted according to the slight deviation.

In the command center, everyone was inexplicably nervous, clenching their hands unconsciously.

This is the most critical step.

As long as the docking is successful, this supply mission will be a perfect success.

"Docking... 100 cm... Docking... 50 cm..."

As the returned data gets closer, the hall becomes quieter and quieter, and the atmosphere does not dare to breathe, for fear that it will "blow" the target on the screen.

Even Chen Mo, who has always been calm, felt the tension in the air and stared at the screen intently.

Huaxing’s palms are sweating. For this kind of thing, if you have a bad heart, you must prepare heart-relief pills. If failure causes huge losses, the consequences will be very terrible.

"Docking... 30 cm... Docking... 10 cm..."

On the screen, the moment the two pairs of interfaces were closed, everyone's hearts beat fiercely, their breath stagnated, and the whole person was lifted up.

"The docking is successful."

The four words seem to be like nature.

Let the tense atmosphere explode instantly, the first applause sounded, the whole hall, thunderous applause, cheers and laughter instantly filled every corner.

Chen Mo also secretly delivered a sigh of relief, relieved.

If this fails and there is a problem, his responsibility will be greater, and fortunately, it will be successfully completed.

Inside the space station, Fei Jun heard the successful docking reported by the intelligent system, which made him let go of his hanging heart and showed a relaxed smile.

"Successful."

"I can't wait."

Rovsky screamed in excitement, waiting for the docking hatch to open, Yang Yanyun stood behind Rovsky and waited quietly. From her eyes, she was looking forward to it.

"The docking cabin air pressure returns to normal, and the cabin can be opened."

When prompted, Fei Jun opened the door to the docking bay, and the docking bay door of the aerospace plane opened instantly.

"You go over, I will contact the ground first." Fei Jun finished speaking and floated back towards the core cabin.Although he also wanted to go in quickly to see the situation of the Goddess, but as the leader here, his job can not be left.

"Hello, I am the "Mouse" piloting the Goddess 1. Welcome to the Goddess. Mr. Astronaut, Ms. Astronaut."

"Hello, I am the Goddess No. 2 driving robot "Bull". Welcome you."

Just entering the aerospace plane, in the space plane, two intelligent robots are standing on the bulkhead of the Goddess. From their perspective, they look like robots hanging upside down.

"My God, it's so beautiful, this robot can stand, there should be electromagnets under its feet, wait for me to turn over first, Mr. Mouse."

Seeing the situation in the cabin of the Goddess clearly, Rovsky exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hello, Mr. Robot Mouse, Mr. Niu." Liu Yanyun also turned over and said hello to the two robots.

The Goddess successfully docked with the Lingxiao.

This news was spread all over the world via CCTV, and the space research circle seemed to be shaken by a major earthquake.

The entire China was in joy.

All employees of the Marching Ant Group are also very happy. The Goddess has completed the task perfectly. Next, they will create unlimited possibilities.

The reports of various media have brought the news to its peak.

The most powerful group company has finally reached out to space, and the imagination of the future is unlimited.

Not long after, the official website of the March Ant Group and the official website of the Flying Ant Aerospace Company announced again that after the Goddess completed the replenishment mission, it started the satellite orbit mission and brought nine satellites into the scheduled orbit.

The news pushed the enthusiasm of the marching ant group goddess to the sky.

When the limelight was booming, a piece of news was announced, attracting global attention.

NASA publicly announced that it will join the European Space Agency, the island space research and development agency, the Canadian Space Agency, the Indian Space Agency and the Brazilian Space Agency to form a new international space joint research organization.

A total of 18 countries participated in the second phase of the space station cooperative research project.

The second phase of the ISS core module "Zeus" will enter space with the returnable heavy-duty launch vehicle "Falcon 10" in ten days. Other experimental modules will also be launched into space docking within one month. Form a new space station.

However, the news released by NASA is only the beginning.

The space agency just attracted a wave, and another heavy news was sent from the Pentagon, triggering a bigger tsunami.
