Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 347 The Eve
Ma Wu trotted into the dormitory.

"Did you watch the news?"

Jiang Shui, who just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his hair with a towel, and asked in a daze, "What news? What kind of activity is Taotao.com doing?"

Liao Qingsong, who was reading a space station design book, raised his head and said, "Recently, I have been training for a while, so I don't have time to watch gossip news."

Ma Wu sat directly on the table and said excitedly: "Xuanwu-class 001 will be launched on Jianmu-[-] in Bazhong City."

The other three were stunned for a moment. Song Yingcai, a spaceship maintenance engineer who was also looking at the data, put down the data in his hand and asked, "Are you sure that Xuanwu-class 001 was launched at Jianmu No. [-] base?"

"You don't believe me?"

"Wu, where did you get the news?" Liao Qingsong was a little disbelieving.

Ma Wu turned on the holographic computer and entered the official website of the Universe Development Committee: "Look, the announcement from our immediate superior."

The three of Liao Qingsong hurried over.

"I rely on!"

"I actually missed such a breaking news."

"The news was all three days ago."

"Believe it now!" Ma Wu said with a smile.

"But isn't the Jianmu plan unfinished? How will it be launched then?" Jiang Shui asked in confusion.

"Anyway, this matter can't be faked, I have to train hard." Ma Wu encouraged himself.

"How many times have you passed driving training?" Liao Qingsong asked with a smile.

"I have passed 8 times, and Lao Jiang has passed 11 times." Ma Wu replied helplessly.

The simulated driving test for spaceship pilots is a 60-point system, but there is no such thing as [-] points pass, fail, or good.

There are only two levels, that is, pass with 100 points, and fail with a score of 100. Students will not pass as long as they make one mistake.

After all, driving a spacecraft in outer space is not like driving a car on the ground. A small mistake may cause the astronaut and the spacecraft to receive a lunch box together.

"It seems that Lao Jiang has a higher chance than you, Wu, you have to work hard." Song Yingcai patted Ma Wu on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Being the first batch of astronauts in space, I think there is little hope. There are a few perverts in the pilot profession, and now I have passed more than 20 times." Jiang Shui said helplessly.

Those reserve astronauts who knew that the Xuanwu class was about to launch were all gearing up excitedly. This is a good opportunity to make a name in history, especially the first or first batch of astronauts.

So they are enthusiastic about training and learning, and everyone wants to be the first astronauts in outer space.

……

Bazhong City, Shu Province.

Xuanwu-class transport projectile spacecraft construction factory.

Li Zhongting brought Wang Tu and Zhao Hongxing to the side of No. 001 of Xuanwu class.

The specifications of the Xuanwu class are exactly the same as those of the Qinglong class. The only difference is that the Xuanwu class does not have a life support cabin or a cockpit, and its control system is automatically controlled by a program.

"Academician Li, is there any problem with Xuanwu-class No. 001?" Wang Tu asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, we have checked inside and out three times, not a single screw was missed." Li Zhongting replied, patting his chest.

"By the way, Lao Li, how are you preparing for the transportation of supplies?" Zhao Hongxing asked looking at the empty cabin No. 001 of the Xuanwu class.

Li Zhongting opened the holographic bracelet and sent a list to the two of them.

"This is the cargo list for Xuanwu Class No. 001."

Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu browsed carefully.

［空间站舱室编号2019.1001—2019.1024零部件、2019.2001—2019.0024零部件；亚金属氧—氢混合燃料20吨；石墨烯太阳能薄膜板120平方米；太空作业机器人5台；……］
"Are these the parts of the first and second cabins of the space station?" Zhao Hongxing turned his head and asked.

Li Zhongting nodded: "Yes." After speaking, he clicked on another file on the holographic projection, and immediately jumped out of a model of a space station cabin.

"We adopted a modular design, dividing a cabin into 24 parts, and then assembled them in outer space."

"Is this technology too risky?" Zhao Hongxing looked at the model, feeling unreliable.

"There is no problem with this technology. Do you still remember the sealing problem of the joint of the vacuum pipe of the Strait Cross-Sea Bridge?" Wang Tu said without beginning or end.

Zhao Hongxing was at a loss: "What's the matter with the vacuum pipe of the Guan Strait Bridge?"

"The sealing of the vacuum pipe junction involves a gel laser welding technology. After our research, we found that this thing can be applied to outer space operations, especially in the sealing of parts assembly." Wang Tu explained with a smile.

"What Wang said is not wrong. It is precisely because of this gel laser welding technology that we have given up the way of putting the whole cabin into outer space, and chose the way of modular parts going into outer space and then assembling." Li Zhongting continued to explain. one time.

"Is it reliable? Don't lose the chain at a critical moment." Zhao Hongxing is still worried.

After all, he gave up the mature whole cabin method and adopted the modular parts method that has never been in outer space. No wonder he has a lot of worries.

"Red Star, don't worry! We will launch three times this time, and send four space station cabins and two main engines up. If the assembly fails, the loss will be tens of millions at most." Li Zhongting said.

Zhao Hongxing laughed and cursed: "Old Li, you can say it easily, isn't tens of millions money?"

"Look at Lao Ma's 20 billion superconducting rails. Tens of millions is really not a big deal. It's not enough for a small goal." Li Zhongting joked with a smile.

"The possibility of failure is very small. If you are unlucky, just spend money to buy a lesson!" Wang Tu didn't care.

"..." Zhao Hongxing was speechless for a moment.

On the other side, the space station parts manufacturing factory is also in Bazhong City.

They have already packaged the spare parts of the four space station cabins and are loading them to the Jianmu No. [-] base.

"Gao Yue, are the serial numbers aligned?" Li Dongshan, the factory manager, looked at the spare parts being loaded and asked.

"My manager! You have asked about this matter more than a dozen times. These parts have been verified by machines and humans, so there is no mistake." Gao Yue replied with a wry smile.

"I'm not nervous! If there is a problem with the first shot, our jobs will be ruined." Li Dongshan said nervously. He is not like the nervous Gao Yue, who still feels uneasy. Li Dongshan said:
"Give me the scanner and the list, and I'll check it myself, or I won't be able to sleep."

Gao Yue had no choice but to get the scanner and the checklist.

"Give."

After receiving Gao Yue's code scanner and list, Li Dongshan scanned the code and checked the list of spare parts one by one again.

drop! [Space Station Number 2019.1016]... Drip! [Space Station Number 2019.4009]...

"Huh!" After checking the last spare parts, Li Dongshan breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem?" Gao Yue asked.

Li Dongshan nodded: "No problem, you can send it to Jianmu No. [-] Base, Gao Yue, escort it there yourself!"

"KO!" Gao Yue gestured, then turned his head and shouted loudly: "Let's go."

"Be careful all the way." Li Dongshan said with concern.

Gao Yue waved his hand, then got on the pickup truck and drove away, accompanied by local armed police and Tianhan security personnel.

Although it is the hinterland of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Space Development Committee did not take it lightly. After all, the heart of defense is indispensable. The more critical the moment, the more cautious it is.
