Galaxy Technology Empire

Ma Wu trotted into the dormitory.

"Have you been watching the news?"

Jiang Shui, who had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiped his hair with a towel and asked confusedly: "What news? What activities is Taotao doing?"

Liao Qingsong, who was reading a space station design book, raised his head and said: "I have been training recently and have no time to read gossip news."

Ma Wu sat directly on the table and said excitedly: "Xuanwu-class 001 will be launched from Jianmu-2 in Bazhong City."

The other three were stunned for a moment. Spaceship maintainer Song Yingcai, who was also reading the information, put down the information in his hands and asked: "Are you sure that Xuanwu-class No. 001 was launched from Jianmu No. 2 Base?"

"You don't believe it?"

"Awu, where did your news come from?" Liao Qingsong didn't believe it.

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

Liao Qingsong and the other three hurriedly came over.

"Holy shit!"

"I actually missed such exciting news."

"The news was from three days ago."

"I believe it now!" Ma Wu said with a smile.

"But isn't the building plan not completed yet? How will it be launched by then?" Jiang Shui asked in confusion, twisting his head.

"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, Lao Jiang is more powerful and has passed 11 times." Ma Wu replied helplessly.

The simulated driving test for spacecraft pilots is on a 100-point scale, but there is no such thing as passing, failing, or good with 60 points.

There are only two levels, that is, passing with 100 points, and failing with 100 points. Students will fail as long as they make one mistake.

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

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

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

Those astronaut reservists who knew that the Xuanwu-class was about to be launched were excited and gearing up. This was a good opportunity to leave their mark in history, especially for the first or first batch of astronauts.

Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about training and learning, and everyone wants to become the first astronauts in outer space.

…

Bazhong City, Shu Province.

Xuanwu-class transport and projection spacecraft construction factory.

Li Zhongting brought Wang Tu and Zhao Hongxing to Xuanwu-class No. 001.

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. Its control system is automatically controlled by a program.

"Academician Li, is there no problem with Xuanwu-class No. 001?" Wang Tu asked worriedly.

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

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

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

"This is the cargo list of Xuanwu-class No. 001."

Zhao Hongxing and Wang Tu browsed carefully.

[Space station cabin numbers 2019.1001-2019.1024 parts and components, 2019.2001-2019.0024 parts; 20 tons of submetallic oxygen-hydrogen mixed fuel; 120 square meters of graphene solar film panels; 5 space operation robots;...]

"Are these the parts for the space station's No. 1 and No. 2 cabins?" Zhao Hongxing turned around and asked.

Li Zhongting nodded: "Yes." After saying that, 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 and felt it was unreliable.

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

Zhao Hongxing was confused: "What's going on with the vacuum pipeline of the Cross-Strait Bridge?"

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

"What Wang said is correct. It is precisely because of this gel laser welding technology that we gave up the method of sending the entire capsule to outer space and chose the method of sending modular parts to outer space and then assembling them." Li Zhongting went on to explain one time.

"Is it reliable? Don't let things slip at the critical moment." Zhao Hongxing was still worried.

After all, he gave up the mature whole-cabin approach and adopted a modular component approach that had never been to outer space. No wonder he was worried.

"Don't worry, Hongxing! We will launch three times this time to send four space station cabins and two main engines. If the assembly fails, the maximum loss will be tens of millions." Li Zhongting said.

Zhao Hongxing laughed and scolded: "Lao Li, you said it's easy, isn't tens of millions money?"

"Look at Lao Ma's 2 billion superconducting guide rail. Tens of millions is really nothing. It's not enough for a small goal." Li Zhongting joked with a smile.

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

"..." Zhao Hongxing was suddenly speechless.

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

They have packed the spare parts for the four space station cabins and are loading them into vehicles to be sent to Jianmu 2 Base.

"Gao Yue, are the numbers correct?" Factory Manager Li Dongshan asked, looking at the spare parts being loaded into the car.

"My manager! You've asked me about this a dozen times. These parts have been verified by machines and humans, and there's no mistake." Gao Yue replied with a wry smile.

"I'm not nervous! If something goes wrong with the first shot, our jobs will be ruined." Li Dongshan said nervously. He was not like the nervous Gao Yue. Li Dongshan still felt uneasy and said:

“Give me the scanner and the list, and I’ll check it again myself, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep.”

Helpless Gao Yue could only get the scanner and the list.

"Give."

Taking Gao Yue's code scanner and list, Li Dongshan scanned the code and checked the list of spare parts again.

drop! [Space station number 2019.1016]... beep! [Space station number 2019.4009]......

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

"Is there no problem?" Gao Yue asked.

Li Dongshan nodded: "No problem, it can be sent to Jianmu No. 2 Base. Gao Yue, please escort him there personally!"

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

"Pay attention to safety along the way." Li Dongshan said with concern.

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

Although it was the hinterland of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Space Development Committee did not take it lightly. After all, it was necessary to be on guard against others. The more critical the moment, the more cautious it was.
