A big country of aerospace with black technology

In the geosynchronous orbit, star ports with a mass of more than 10,000 tons and various spacecrafts are currently parked.

The progress of the first batch of star port astronauts settling in was far slower than Zhang Xingyang expected.

The biggest reason is that the manned spacecraft interface standards and star port standards of different countries are different.

Zhang Xingyang spent a lot of effort to unify the interface standards of various countries.

Allowing them to connect to the Tiangong Space Station of the Dragon Kingdom.

Then from the Tiangong Space Station, go to the star port in synchronous orbit.

Of course, astronauts from various countries can also all take the Dragon Kingdom’s manned spacecraft to the Tiangong Space Station.

However, the Dragon Kingdom does not have such large manned space transportation capacity.

The number of people in the Dragon Kingdom who need to enter the starport immediately exceeds that of other countries.

It will take at least twenty rocket launches to complete the launch of all astronauts.

"After waiting for so long, it's finally our turn to go into space."

Xu Ying said feeling slightly relieved.

Xue Feng pulled on his seat belt and adjusted it to a more comfortable state.

He stretched his muscles a little, and then said: "It's not because we injured our bodies during the star port construction work at that time, so we need to repair it for a long time."

Xu Ying and Xue Feng were the first batch of people to participate in the construction of the star port.

Due to various reasons, the body suffers varying degrees of damage.

He spent nearly a year recuperating at the Institute of Aerospace Medicine.

Finally passed all the physical index tests.

"I don't know when we will be able to use more advanced launch methods."

Xu Ying waited for various instructions before the rocket was launched.

While chatting with Xue Feng.

"I heard that Commander Zhang had proposed a grand plan to build a space elevator in Gabon before. I don't know when the construction will start."

"If the construction is really completed, then going to space will not be as difficult as it is now."

Compared with traditional rocket launches, the biggest advantage of the space elevator is that it can travel into space at a constant speed.

There is no need to break through the speed limit of the first universe.

Especially for an ambitious and ideal construction engineer like Xu Ying.

To be able to participate in the construction of such a space wonder.

It is a lifelong dream.

"It's not that simple."

Xue Feng knows more about the international trends.

"Our star port construction project this time has already caused many countries to pursue and intercept us."

"In the end, we had to open up part of the star port cooperation content."

"Not to mention the more difficult space elevator to build."

"Unless the country can persuade the other four permanent members to join in the construction of the space elevator."

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for this huge plan to be implemented in practice."

The construction of a space elevator is difficult, largely due to the ground construction part.

It requires building a huge base on the ground.

Because the ground part of the space elevator is very fragile.

If you cannot station troops on the ground, you will be easily destroyed by terrorists.

And wanting to station troops in Gabon is by no means a simple matter.

Xu Ying has great expectations and is not as pessimistic as Xue Feng:

"The country has reached an agreement with Gabon and has designated a 10-square-kilometer area for aerospace construction."

"Even if the construction of a space elevator cannot be carried out, it would be good to build a space launch site."

As a country on the equator, Gabon has very favorable launch conditions.

After the space launch site is completed, it can effectively reduce the fuel required for launch.

"But Gabon is that damn place."

Xue Feng shook his head and said:

"To put it mildly, it's almost a complete wilderness."

"If we want to build a modern and advanced aerospace city, I don't know how much effort will be needed."

Gabon's land area is not huge, only equivalent to 4.5 Tongliao.

In the 1980s, when the oil economy was booming and developing, there was also a golden period.

However, with the financial crisis and the fall in international oil prices at the end of the century, the economy has seriously deteriorated.

Although Longguo is already Gabon’s largest exporter and second largest importer.

But the annual trade volume with Gabon is only over a billion US dollars.

It cannot compare with the trade specifications of a small or medium-sized county in China.

If we really want to build a modern space city in Gabon, we will need to invest at least tens of billions of dollars.

To carry out infrastructure construction work such as roads, water and electricity, etc.

"Ready to launch."

Xu Ying looked at the time and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Finally check your seat belt."

He turned to look at the newcomer Hu Jianhua who was going to heaven for the first time next to him.

"Lao Hu, don't be so nervous. It will be over soon."

Xu Ying could feel Lao Hu's breathing a little faster.

So I said some words of comfort.

Hu Jianhua's quality is not the best among current domestic astronauts.

But he also defeated the elite selected by millions of people across the country.

It didn't take half a minute to calm down.

A few minutes later, several heavy-duty liquid oxygen and kerosene engines successfully ignited, spraying out millions of liters of high-temperature and high-pressure gas.

The speed of the manned rocket will exceed the first cosmic speed.

In a few minutes, the three of them had crossed a distance of hundreds of kilometers and entered low-Earth orbit.

"We are about to enter the Tiangong Space Station."

Xu Ying said expectantly.

The manned spacecraft flew around the earth twice at high speed, raising its orbital altitude to the same altitude as the Tiangong Space Station.

The automatic docking program has gone through many iterations and updates.

Hundreds of times of practice have made the whole process smooth and smooth.

In less than half an hour, the manned spacecraft on which Xu Ying and the others were riding had been connected to the Tiangong Space Station.

"Tiangong Space Station, welcome, comrades."

As soon as Xu Ying entered the Heavenly Palace, she heard a familiar electronic sound.

"The next spaceship to the star port will start in 16 hours. Please take a short rest in the Tiangong."

The remaining astronauts inside the Tiangong Space Station introduced the current situation to Xu Ying and the others.

Although the Star Port is currently open to other countries.

But the Tiangong Space Station is not open to the outside world.

When astronauts from the Dragon Kingdom enter the star port, they basically enter the Tiangong Space Station first, and then take the transfer spacecraft to the star port.

The first batch of astronauts from other countries to enter the star port were all transferred from the International Space Station to the star port.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xingyang was tortured by interface standards.

When the International Space Station began to formulate construction standards, Longguo did not join.

The result is that their standards are not compatible with our standards.

Therefore, every spacecraft that goes back and forth between the International Space Station and the star port has two different interfaces.

One side is an interface that meets the Starport Dragon Kingdom standards, and the other side is an interface that meets the International Space Station standards. (End of chapter)
