Chapter 1085 Manual Docking
In a solemn atmosphere, the twelve astronauts represented by Sun Ting marched in neat and firm steps and boarded the shuttle bus to the land of their dreams.

Outside the car window, the morning sun gently sprinkled on the earth, giving everything around a light golden hue.

On both sides of the road, lush trees stood tall. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if whispering goodbye to the warriors who were about to go to war.
The mountains in the distance are rolling and looming in the thin mist, adding a touch of mystery.

Sun Ting sat by the window, gazing out the window, her heart pounding.

She knew very well that this was the moment when her years of hard work and dreams were about to come true, and her heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, but also a hint of nervousness.

"This is the moment I have been waiting for. I must complete the task excellently." She secretly encouraged herself.

Li Ming, who was sitting next to Sun Ting, clenched his fists tightly, his palms full of sweat.

He kept repeating every detail of the training in his mind, telling himself to stay calm in the face of the upcoming challenges. "I want to win glory for my country's space industry, and there can't be any mistakes."

At this time, Sun Ting turned her head to look at Li Ming and whispered, "Li Ming, are you nervous?" Li Ming took a deep breath and replied, "A little bit, but more excited. We have been preparing for this moment for so long."

Wang Qiang, who was sitting in the back row, seemed calm, but his heart was actually surging with turbulent waves.

He thought about the expectations of his family and friends, and a sense of responsibility arose spontaneously. "I am carrying the hopes of too many people, I must succeed."

Wang Qiang couldn't help but say to his teammates next to him: "This mission is important, we can't be careless at all." His teammates nodded firmly: "Don't worry, all our training sessions were not in vain."

Liu Na in the team closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. "Believe in yourself and the team, we can do it."

The other astronauts also had complicated emotions, including worries about the unknown, but also desire for success and determination for their mission.

The shuttle bus was running smoothly on the flat road, and the friction between the wheels and the ground made a slight buzzing sound.

As the vehicle moves forward, the air is filled with a faint smell of engine oil and fresh scent of grass and wood.

The towering rocket launcher was getting closer and closer, as if calling them.

Finally, the shuttle bus slowly stopped.

The astronauts got off the car in an orderly manner. Sun Ting straightened her back and was the first to step out of the door. Her steps were steady and powerful.

Li Ming followed closely behind and took a deep breath after getting off the car, as if to gain strength.

Wang Qiang looked up at the huge rocket, his eyes full of awe.

Liu Na adjusted her clothes, her expression solemn and serious.

The twelve astronauts stood in a row, their eyes all directed toward the rocket that would carry their dreams. Their postures were like towering mountains, ready to embrace this great and sacred mission.

There were huge crowds of people and it was very lively outside the rocket launch site.

The onlookers held up posters of their favorite astronauts with excitement and admiration. The colorful posters danced in the crowd, like an ocean full of enthusiasm and expectation.

A young man held up a poster of Sun Ting and shouted, "Sun Ting, you are the best! You must come back safely! I hope you can show your brilliance in space and take a solid step forward for mankind to explore the mysteries of the universe!"

The little girl next to him also shouted: "Come on, sister! I believe you can succeed!"

An old man with gray hair held Li Ming's poster tightly in his hands, tears in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Children, fly bravely for the glory of the country! Li Ming, may you take our blessings, complete the mission smoothly, and win glory for the motherland!"

In the crowd, a couple brought their child. The child excitedly waved Wang Qiang's poster and shouted, "Uncle, I want to go to space like you in the future! You are my role model, and you must return victorious!" The father smiled and said, "Baby, you must work hard! Uncle Wang Qiang and his team have put in countless efforts to get to where they are today. I believe they can create miracles!"

A student in school uniform excitedly held up a poster of Liu Na and said to the classmates around him: "I want to be a brave person like Sister Liu Na in the future! Dare to challenge the unknown and contribute to the cause of science!"

The classmate responded: "Let's work hard together! I hope that Sister Liu Na and her team will have a smooth mission and bring us more surprises about space!"

An old lady shouted at the top of her voice: "Astronauts, you are the pride of the country! Come on, we look forward to your safe return!"

A young man also shouted: "Heroes, let's rush into space with our dreams!"

The cheers that came one after another intertwined together to form a powerful force that seemed to break through the clouds and inject endless courage and motivation into the astronauts who were about to embark on their journey.

Before stepping towards the rocket carrying their dreams and mission, the astronauts, with deep feelings of emotion and responsibility, stopped their hurried steps, slowly turned around and faced the enthusiastic crowd of onlookers.

A warm and bright smile bloomed on Sun Ting's beautiful face. Her heartbeat quickened with excitement and tears glistened in her eyes, which showed her emotion for the enthusiastic support of the masses.

She raised her slender but powerful arms and waved them vigorously and happily towards the crowd, and each wave was full of affection.

She said loudly: "Dear friends, thank you for your company and support. We will do our best!" Her bright eyes were not only filled with gratitude to the people, but also revealed an unswerving belief.

Li Ming's resolute face was now also filled with a smile, his chest heaved violently, his heart surging with pride.

He raised his clenched fist high and waved it vigorously in the air, as if to convey his courage to everyone.

He shouted loudly: "We will succeed! This is our common dream, let us fly together!"

His passionate voice penetrated the crowd, allowing everyone to feel his ambition.

Wang Qiang waved his strong arms and shouted in his resonant voice: "Thank you for your support. We will definitely live up to your expectations! We set out with everyone's dreams and will definitely return with a full load!"

His eyes were full of determination and confidence, and the sweat on his forehead sparkled in the sun, showing his inner nervousness and excitement.

Liu Na is like the breeze in spring, her heart is full of warmth and tenderness.

She always had a gentle smile on her face. She put her hands together in front of her chest and bent slightly, expressing her deep gratitude to the people.

She whispered, "Thank you everyone. We will carry this strength with us." Her voice was soft but powerful, like a spring breeze blowing through people's hearts.

The crowds watching became more and more excited, and their cheers were like surging waves, one higher than the other.

The children jumped excitedly, as if their small bodies contained endless energy. They waved the posters in their hands more vigorously and kept shouting the astronauts' names.

The old people nodded with joy and expectation, and even had tears of excitement in their eyes. A middle-aged man was so excited that his face turned red and he shouted loudly: "You are the pride of the country and our heroes!"

The astronauts kept waving their arms, as if they were tireless. Their eyes met with the eyes of the crowd, and in this silent communication, they conveyed each other's trust, encouragement and beautiful vision for the future.

Every wave and every smile contains thousands of words, forming a moving picture that is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

After enthusiastically interacting with the crowd, the astronauts turned around and walked towards the rocket with firm steps.

Sun Ting walked in front, her eyes focused and serious, and every step she took was steady and powerful.

Under the guidance of the staff, they came to the corridor leading to the rocket landing hatch.

The corridor was brightly lit, and the silver metal plates on the walls reflected a cold light.

The floor is paved with a special anti-slip material, which makes a slight sound when you walk on it.

Then, they walked into the elevator. The interior of the elevator was simple and compact, with several key buttons emitting soft blue light, and the control panel next to it displayed the ascent progress and related data.

The elevator rose smoothly and soon reached its destination.

Stepping out of the elevator, the rocket's entry hatch appeared before our eyes.

Li Ming looked up at the towering rocket, took a deep breath, and adjusted the equipment bag on his shoulder.

Wang Qiang reached out and gently touched the cabin, as if feeling the power of the steel giant that would carry their dreams. Liu Na followed closely behind, her eyes full of expectation and determination.

The staff carefully checked the equipment and connections for each astronaut to ensure that everything was correct.

Sun Ting was the first to step onto the ladder. She held the handrail tightly with both hands and climbed up step by step.

After entering the cabin, she quickly found her seat, fastened her seat belt, and began the final equipment check.

Inside the cabin, various instruments and equipment are arranged compactly and orderly.

There are densely packed buttons next to the seat, and data and indicator lights on the control panel are constantly flashing.

Subsequently, Li Ming, Wang Qiang, Liu Na and other astronauts also logged in one after another.

They moved skillfully and quickly, without any hesitation or delay.

In the narrow cabin, the astronauts looked at each other, their eyes conveying encouragement and trust.

When everyone was in place, the hatch slowly closed, isolating them from the outside world.

At this time, the lights in the cabin were soft and steady, and the indicator lights of various instruments were flashing, creating an atmosphere that was both tense and hopeful.

The astronauts adjusted their postures, confirmed various data and equipment status again, and prepared for the upcoming great journey.

When the astronauts successfully landed inside the rocket, intense and orderly preparations quickly began.

Sun Ting sat in the driver's seat, her eyes fixed on the complex control panel in front of her. Her hands skillfully operated various buttons and switches, constantly verifying various data and parameters to ensure that everything was in the best condition.

The fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead sparkled in the dim light, but she had no time to wipe them off as she was fully focused on her work.

Li Ming assisted Sun Ting by his side. He checked the operation of each system carefully by referring to the electronic manual in his hand.

His eyes quickly scanned the lines of complex codes and data, his brows slightly furrowed, not missing any slight abnormality.

At the same time, he maintained close communication with the ground control center calmly and clearly, reporting the latest progress in a timely manner.

Wang Qiang was at the back of the cabin, carefully debugging the life support system. His eyes were focused and cautious, his hands shuttled between various pipes and instruments, and he was extremely careful with every touch and every adjustment, not letting go of any possible hidden dangers.

After fastening her seat belt, Liu Na checked the instruments and equipment in the area she was responsible for again.

Her fingers gently slid across each button, and she whispered the operating steps, as if she was praying silently to ensure that she could perform the task accurately at the critical moment.

The other astronauts were also busy. Some were checking the material reserves, carefully verifying the quantity and status of each item; some were confirming the smooth operation of the communication equipment, constantly conducting signal testing and debugging.

The atmosphere in the cabin was solemn and serious, with only the slight hum of the operating instruments and the occasional whispered conversations between the astronauts.

Every move they make is precise and efficient, because they know that every detail is related to the success or failure of the mission and the life safety of everyone.

In this small space, the astronauts have made the most thorough preparations for the upcoming space journey with years of training and tacit understanding. Their hearts are filled with expectations for the unknown and a sense of responsibility for the mission.

Sun Ting: "Master Control Room, this is Zvezda. All systems have been checked and everything is normal. I have just completed the final calibration of the flight control system. It feels like giving the rocket a super-precise massage!"

Main Control Room: "Received 'Star', please maintain status and wait for further instructions. But this rocket massage is really a new term."

Li Ming: "In the main control room, the communication system has good signal strength and stable data transmission. I have reset the priorities of several frequency bands, just like lining up the information. No one can cut in line!"

Main Control Room: "Very good, Li Ming, continue monitoring. I hope the information will be obedient."

Wang Qiang: "In the main control room, the life support system is operating normally, and the oxygen, water and energy reserves are sufficient. I just made a fine adjustment to the oxygen circulation device, and now it is running as happily as a small motor!"

Main Control Room: "Wang Qiang, thank you for your hard work. Pay close attention to the changes. Don't let this little motor get tired."

Liu Na: "In the main control room, the scientific experimental equipment is ready and can be started at any time. I have carried out the final check and fixation of the experimental samples. Now they are as obedient as a group of children."

Main Control Room: "Liu Na, wait for instructions and prepare to start the experiment. You have to keep an eye on these children."

Sun Ting: "In the main control room, the astronauts are in good spirits and ready to meet the challenge. We have reconfirmed the emergency response plan. Even if there is an accident, we can easily deal with it!"

Main Control Room: "All astronauts of the Zvezda, you are the warriors of mankind, and the motherland is proud of you! I wish you a complete success in your mission, but please don't make a fool of yourself in space!"

Sun Ting: "Thank you, General Control Room. With your words, we can't be nervous even if we want to. We will complete the mission!
The "Zvezda" rocket spewed out blazing flames and slowly took off with a deafening roar.

The astronauts sat in the cabin, their bodies pressed tightly against their seats by the powerful thrust. Their eyes were fixed on the dashboard in front of them, their hands tightly gripped the control sticks, and their hearts rose to their throats as the rocket took off.

In the main control room, the commanders stared intently at the data displayed on the large screen. The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and only the ticking of instruments and the occasional command broke the suffocating silence.

"The speed is normal! The altitude is normal!" The tense reports continued to sound.

Astronaut Sun Ting had beads of sweat on her forehead. She bit her lips and prayed silently in her heart that everything would go well.

Li Ming's finger joints turned white from the force, and he stared at the screen without blinking.

The "Star" gradually accelerated, broke through the atmosphere, and flew towards the predetermined orbit.

The commanders in the main control room clenched their fists; every fluctuation in the data made their hearts beat faster.

"It's about to enter the planned orbit!" This report made everyone hold their breath.

Finally, "Zvezda" successfully entered the predetermined orbit. At that moment, both the astronauts and the commanders in the main control room breathed a sigh of relief, but then a new tension came - the docking with the space station began.

"Adjust attitude! Prepare for docking!" The command was given again, and the astronauts and everyone in the main control room once again focused on this critical task.

"Zhengchen" gradually approached the space station. At this moment, every second seemed to be infinitely stretched.

This is also the first time manual docking has been performed!
The successful docking is of great significance!
The astronauts' eyes were fixed on the docking interface, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, flickering in the dim light.

Sun Ting held the joystick tightly with both hands, trembling slightly. Her breathing was rapid and her chest heaving violently.

"Pay attention to the speed, slow down a little!" Her voice was tense and trembling, and her lips were a little dry due to nervousness.

She was like a little rabbit in her heart, feeling anxious and thinking: "I must not make any mistakes. This is related to the success or failure of the entire mission. I must make precise connections!"

Li Ming stared at the data on the screen without blinking, and kept reading out various parameters: "The distance is 50 meters, the relative speed is 2 meters per second..."

His voice became a little hoarse due to nervousness.

His fingers moved quickly on the operating panel, as if playing a tense piece of music, sometimes pressing a button hard, sometimes sliding the touchpad quickly.

Li Ming was extremely nervous, but he kept encouraging himself: "Calm down, you must stay calm, don't panic!"

In the main control room, the commanders gathered around the big screen, not daring to make a sound.

The person in charge stared at the screen with a frown, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his fingers unconsciously clenched, and his knuckles turned white.

His steps moved back and forth, revealing his inner anxiety, and he sometimes leaned forward as if he was going to rush into the big screen.

He prayed silently in his heart: "It must succeed, this is everyone's expectation!"
