Super technology leader

Navigator has never disappointed people, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.

A week later, the huge manufacturing center was lifted off.

The manufacturing center is not a maintenance cabin like an empty shell. It contains a lot of heavy equipment to complete the processes of dismantling, crushing, refining, manufacturing, etc., turning space junk into raw materials, and then turning raw materials into raw materials. Available parts.

So it is not only huge in size, but also huge in quality. Its monomer mass has reached an unprecedented 260 tons!

This weight is already close to the maximum near-ground load carrying weight of the Yishan rocket, and it also proves from the side how big and heavy the manufacturing center is.

With a diameter of 15 meters and a length of 35 meters, it is more than two turns larger than the maintenance cabin.

Moreover, because the cargo warehouse of the Yishan rocket is only 40 meters long, and it also includes some top shrinkage parts, a shrinkage structure is also made on one side of the manufacturing center, making its main body a bit like a combination of a truncated cone and a cylinder.

It just so happens that the reduced side of the round platform is used for docking with the commercial area. There are two retractable berths above it. Because they are on the side of the round platform, they are inclined and will not be in the same plane as the maintenance cabin after unfolding. It is conducive to the docking of the spacecraft.

If the equipment brought back by Worker Feng 1 is too large and the two cannot coexist in the maintenance compartment, Worker Feng 1 will be docked at these two berths, and they can also dock manned spacecraft.

Don't forget, under normal circumstances, the coaxial gates of scientific research areas, commercial areas and industrial areas are closed. Engineers and technicians in industrial areas will enter through these two entrances.

What do the audience want to do?

Let's have a live broadcast.

Even Tang Chao was the same. He had only seen it on Kan Xing's side. It was a bunch of little green men wearing big mechas and spinning around the equipment. He really hadn’t seen human beings in space, wearing indoor spacesuits under pressure. The satellite is repaired in the cabin.

Have a good look this time.

But unlike those who can only watch the live broadcast, he is going to the scene.

Not only is he going, but even Tianxia officials will come here.

After all, this satellite is a communication satellite of Tianxia. This type of communication satellite uses a mature satellite platform. A mature satellite platform will naturally not be abandoned after a few years of use, but will be used for more than ten years, or even dozens of years. During this period, there must be upgrades and improvements.

This is easy to handle. It is a basic platform and then equipped with equipment. So the so-called upgrade plan is to transfer the advanced satellite equipment installation plan of the same platform to this satellite.

Even the equipment is readily available, and it is directly transported from the National Space Administration to Sweet Potato Island, then loaded into the manufacturing center, and shipped up on the Yishan rocket together.

There are four professional satellite engineers on the national team, four professional engineers on the navigator side, plus two space pilots, these two can be regarded as helpers.

A total of ten people took the orbital shuttle into the manufacturing center, intending to upgrade and maintain the satellite within a week.

This can be regarded as a challenge. Originally, the national team had set a one-month period, but after analysis on the pilot space side, it was said that one week would be enough.

This……

The four national team engineers are considered old comrades. The youngest is also close to fifty years old. They also know that technology and society are constantly developing, but this development is also fast?

Then I have to go take a look.

The national team attached great importance to the first maintenance and upgrade task, so they sent four of them.

The navigators are not so particular about them. They boldly sent new people, including engineers from the company to build satellites, and space engineers who have just been trained to build satellites but will perform space missions later.

There is also Tang Chao, this time he is still the main driver, and the co-pilot is an engineer professional trainee commander. This time letting the opponent come up is regarded as "training", and there will be many places where he will be used in the future.

By the way, the addition of the fantasy system has greatly increased the speed of astronaut training for Navigator, and the tasks to be performed in the later period must be more complicated, so the traditional training process is not suitable.

Tang Chao held a meeting with the senior management and added several new environmental training subjects.

Including "Space War" and "Interstellar Warrior" training!

Although there are no signs of this, but... well prepared.

And he doesn't really train astronauts as interstellar warriors. After all, they are not full-time warriors, nor can they be interstellar warriors in sci-fi works, so the gameplay of space war training is relatively large, at best it is a hardcore game.

There are no hard tasks and performance requirements, and leisure and entertainment outside of training can be used.

However, Tang Chao did not restrict this project to the company, but put it in the company's game options, as a hard-core interstellar warrior and space war training game simulator open to the public.

The group of outside players is much larger than the group of astronauts of the leader company. Maybe someone will like this one, and then study it carefully, and finally find out something.

It doesn't help much now, but at a certain critical moment, it may give him a big surprise.

So this hardcore "game" is free!

A group of people took an orbital shuttle to the manufacturing center. The combination of the manufacturing center and the maintenance cabin was big enough, but the solar array on the manufacturing center was bigger and golden, which looked quite exciting!

After that, they wore spacesuits and helmets in the cabin and entered the manufacturing center. Then they went to the maintenance cabin and saw the worker bee-1 quietly parked inside and the communication satellite fixed in front.

The worker bee 1 is fixed in the maintenance bay, and the communication satellite is fixed to the worker bee 1, but there are other fixing devices in the maintenance bay, and there is no gravity here, so you don’t need to consider the load-bearing capacity of the fixing devices, so just use a robotic arm. Can play a fixed role.

The in-cabin spacesuits they wear today are somewhat special, especially the shoes, which are special electromagnetic shoes that allow the wearer to walk smoothly on the metal "floor" after opening.

They need to do some fine work, and they can't be so floating.

When Tang Chao controlled a robotic arm to grab the satellite and put the satellite from Gongfeng-1 to a distance of 5 cm from the "ground", everyone stepped on the floor and walked to the front.

"I didn't expect that I could see it in my lifetime."

An engineer of the national team said with emotion.

"Yes, Lao Yang, this satellite was assembled by you, hahahaha, ten years have passed in a flash, we are already old."

"It should be the idea that the organization sent Lao Yang over this time. Only he knows this satellite best among us."

They sighed, and they were not idle at the same time. Instead, they circled the satellite first and looked around.

Tang Chao was in the list, took a look, touched a small hole on the satellite that was not on the design drawing, and said, "Although the official information says that the fuel is exhausted, it is obviously abnormally damaged. This small hole looks like The micrometeorite came out, but it happened to not hit the key equipment, so it had little impact."

"Well, we have a record. This satellite did have anomalies at several points in time. Our analysis was also impacted, but from the data point of view, the impact was not significant. The biggest problem is just a slight deviation from the orbit. "Yang Gong said.
