Chapter 160, Space Port

In space, next to the huge "Hercules" aerospace plane, the mechanical arm carries out a steel pipe with a diameter of 2 meters and a length of about 10 meters, which is made of black gold material. The inside of these steel pipes is filled with various After all, it’s hard to go to space, so naturally you can’t waste any space.

Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and the others walked in space along the long steel rods in two groups. The two steel pipes had already left a combined area between each other. These areas were strictly calculated and analyzed. The planning and combination are not bad at all, and only need to simply tighten a few screws.

The steel pipes were continuously transported out and assembled in space. Soon, a huge frame was built, and then Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others began to take out things from these steel pipes, and began to put the frame together. Fill it up.

It is still the old rule, the first thing to be assembled is still the mechanical arms used for work, the energy batteries and so on are simply hidden in the huge steel pipes, connected to the electricity, these mechanical arms can be connected to Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan The virtual machines of Fei et al. control these robotic arms directly using ideas.

The assembled mechanical arm and the mechanical arm on the "Hercules" aerospace plane began to cooperate. The huge belly of the aerospace plane was like a treasure chest. A steady stream of things were carried out, every equipment and instrument, etc. It was all planned in advance.

The mechanical arm was carried out and installed on the designated position, while Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others were doing things that the mechanical arm could not do at present.

Four hours later, a space port took shape. It was very large, with a length of more than 4 meters, a height of more than 200 meters, and a width of hundreds of meters. It was flat and could be divided into upper and lower sides. There are flexible robotic arms all over here and there that are constantly busy.

Of course, this is not the real form of the space port, it is only a preliminary prototype, because this time all the supplies brought up by the "Hercules" aerospace plane have been carried away. At this time, in the void in the distance, another "Hercules" The "God" aerospace plane is already heading here.

The mechanical arm of the "Hercules" aerospace plane was slowly retracted, and the ropes connected to the spacesuits of Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others were also continuously retracted, and everyone slowly returned to the space shuttle.

Soon, the aerospace plane started slowly, flew away slowly, and then flew into the earth's atmosphere. Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei and others were busy in space for 4 hours. At that time, everyone was exhausted and needed to return to the ground to have a good rest.

The aerospace plane in front just flew away, and another aerospace plane slowly approached immediately behind. This time, the aerospace plane directly parked slowly at the space port that had already taken shape.

The hatch of the aerospace plane opened slowly, revealing its huge belly, which was filled with various equipment, instruments, etc. At the same time, another group of astronauts put on their space suits and walked out of the space plane to continue construction space port.

In this way, one after another "Hercules" aerospace planes set off from the ground with a full load of materials, transporting massive amounts of materials into space, and batch after batch of astronauts are busy in space.

Two months later, a huge space port appeared in the space. This huge space port has 2 space port stations with a length of 8 meters. The diameter of each station is more than 2000 meters. Long tubes in general.

The center of the space port is an extremely large building, shaped like a sphere, with a diameter of more than 200 meters. The internal space is very huge, and it is divided into independently designed spaces. Each independent space has its own independent dimension. The living system is sufficient to provide safety guarantees for astronauts, scientists, etc. working in space.

Each space port terminal can park ten huge aerospace planes like "Hercules". Obviously, this design is completely redundant now, because there are not so many aerospace planes that need to be parked. Considering the development of space technology in the future, it is designed so huge.

And in addition to the berthing positions of these large aerospace planes, most of the space port terminals are designed for small spacecraft and small aerospace planes, and can be used to park private spacecraft and private aerospace planes.

Each berth has a lot of robotic arms. These robotic arms can quickly move the goods in the aerospace plane, and can also quickly replace the energy battery, compressed air, etc. for the aerospace plane. They are very powerful.

At the space port at this time, Luo Xiaoyao and Zhan Fei are in the core control center room. Through the virtual machine, they know everything about the entire space port. How much energy is left in the space port? trajectory, velocity, etc.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After two months of construction day and night, the space port has been completed. All functional areas inside have passed the inspection and can be put into use perfectly."

Zhanfei turned somersaults lightly, the gravity in space was very weak, it could be said that there was no gravity at all, and somersaults were very easy.

"Relieve? It's still very early. The Sky City project has just completed the first part. There are still living areas, scientific research areas, agricultural areas, and industrial areas waiting for us to build. It is estimated that in the next year, we will have I'm busy."

Luo Xiaoyao shook his head, stretched his waist, and felt light and airy all over.

"Can't you make me happy?"

Zhanfei curled his lips, the company has hundreds of astronauts now, and in the past two months, batch after batch have gone to space to build a space port. The work intensity is much stronger than before, but there is no The method, the construction of the sky city in space must be completed in such a coherent manner, but it cannot be built and stopped like on the ground, and the work pressure will naturally be high.

"Didi, the next aerospace plane will arrive soon, please be prepared."

While the two were chatting idlely, new news came from the virtual machine side, which immediately made the two of them tense up, and began to check the relevant data to see if there would be any problems.

……

Fuyun Group's massive construction of space ports in space naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of all countries in the world. Almost from the beginning, many countries in the world have a lot of monitoring equipment watching Fuyun Group's every move.

In the NASA headquarters in Uncle Sam’s territory, in a huge conference room, a number of famous NASA aerospace experts gathered at this time. The huge monitor in the center of the conference room displayed the space port of Fuyun Group and it was accompanied by Detailed parameters.

"Fuyun Group, a private company in Huaxia, has been able to build such a huge space port in space. Let's take a look at its port terminal, which is more than 2000 meters long. Some of the berths are obviously for large space ports. It is designed for aircraft, but more berths are designed for small aerospace aircraft. It can park hundreds of large and small spacecraft at the same time. It is completely a large space port, which is laid by China for entering space and realizing space industrialization. Base."

"I think its function is not only used as a space port. Everyone, please look at its short section. There is a very obvious port left in this section. Obviously, it can continue to expand. I guess Fuyun Group is here. We are preparing to build a super-large space city, and building a space port is just the beginning.”

Uncle Sam’s Secretary of Defense, James~ Mattis’s face was extremely ugly. Hearing the analysis of the large space port of Fuyun Group by scientists, James was full of worries. arrangements for the return to the moon program.

Unexpectedly, it soon turned into a discussion and research on Fuyun Group's space port, but the more the discussion and research, the heavier the hearts of everyone present, because everyone knows the gap between themselves and Huaxia is getting bigger and bigger.

A private company in China has already been able to build a space port in space with such a large amount of money, laying the foundation for the construction of a space city, but at this time, Uncle Sam invests huge amounts of money in the space industry every year, although he is constantly gaining One exciting achievement after another.

However, all the achievements are insignificant compared with China's achievements in the field of space. Until now, there has been no research on aerospace planes as powerful as China's. Even using recyclable rockets to launch spacecraft, etc., the cost is still very high , and the risk is high.

In 2020 alone, because the frequency of launches is too high, Uncle Sam will launch rockets into space almost every week, transporting spacecraft, materials, etc. into space. In just over nine months of 9, Uncle Sam appeared In the 2020 disasters, more than a dozen astronauts died heroically, and the other losses are not counted.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy blow. Every astronaut is a national treasure who has undergone long-term training. , The gap between each other will soon be far away, not to mention that in October, Uncle Sam's manned lunar landing program to return to the moon will begin.

"Cough cough!"

James coughed softly, and the venue quickly fell silent. Everyone knew that he had something to say, so everyone looked at James.

"Let's not discuss the matter of Huaxia today. Let's first discuss our plan to return to the moon carefully. I hope our plan can be successfully completed, and there must be no problems at all!"
