Chapter 594 The future lies in the sea of ​​stars

The sealed docking port of the space station has been extended, and the two aerospace passenger planes are slowly approaching. After complete docking, passengers can enter the huge space station in front of them.

Even sitting next to Dong Chen, this old astronaut senior with a military career couldn't wait. If it weren't for the fact that space is too dangerous, he even wanted to put on a spacesuit and fly directly into the space station. inside.

However, in space, it is really a very bold and dangerous thing for astronauts to conduct a spacewalk-style flyby between two aircraft.

Even if you have to do such a dangerous thing, you must make a lot of calculations and even conduct a lot of simulation exercises before doing it.

Of course, if it's extremely dangerous, there won't be so many preparation items. However, relatively simple plans are also needed.

Unlike this guy, he just wanted to put on a spacesuit and rush over there without even looking at how old he was.

I've heard that some magical space travel can make people rejuvenate, but you haven't become younger yet, so Dong Chen, Director Yang, and another official are trying to persuade the "young-minded" Zhao Gang to grow up. guy.

However, the old body was blocked, but the young heart was not blocked, including the other passengers. Although they were not as excited as Zhao Gang, they all expressed very happy.

What an honor it is to sit on a space plane that takes off directly from the ground. Although it is an arc-light aircraft, the relationship between the two is undeniable. And then to inspect the country’s space industry!

Since this incident was not broadcast live, but was planned to be broadcast on the news network through recording, people on Earth do not know the situation yet, but when it is broadcast, the situation will be conceivable.

And the impact of this incident on China and the earth is definitely far-reaching.

The earth is changing every moment, and the advent of a great era is not only the advancement of science and technology, it also drives a series of changes, the progress of the nation, and the transformation of the entire civilization.

When Dong Chen and Zhao Gang took the lead into the space station, people in the space station were already gathered in the reception hall. They all knew the news. After all, the news was broadcast on the news broadcast.

As the first official visiting group to arrive here, and the holder of...er...several percent of the Tiangong Space Station's authority, they were still very curious.

However, they were all blocked by the security, which was good for both parties. After all, if an accident happened, it would always be bad.

As the highest leader of this operation, Zhao Gang is also the oldest. Zhao Gang is indeed the oldest. Regardless of his position or not, based on his age and his previous relationship with Dong Chen, Sun Hao also became the leader after arriving at the space station. Taken over.

However, Dong Chen did not follow his previous plan of running away after Sun Hao took over. Instead, he followed the delegation and acted as a commentator.

Originally, the Arc Light Group had prepared commentators, but when Dong Chen planned to follow them, he wanted to try out what Zhao Gang said about learning, so he let the commentators go.

Dong Chen's several months at the space station were not in vain, and as one of the designers of the space station, he knew the space station better than those commentators, and he was completely able to decide what these people would see and see. To what extent.

However, they did not choose to inspect the shops opened by Chinese people first, nor did they visit the Arc Light Group part of the Tiangong Space Station first. Instead, they went straight to the Chinese part. After all, that was where China's initial space industry was, and China's Several resident astronauts were there.

The astronauts were quite happy to have people from China come to express condolences to them, or to inspect their work, as if they had found an organization.

Usually people on the ground direct this and that. Although those are their jobs, the astronauts can't even see each other, so they still feel a little sad.

Although it is different now than before, the area of ​​the space station has expanded countless times. Although the authority is not with them, they can eat, rest, relax, recuperate, exercise, etc. here after work.

There are a lot of people here. Although they cannot disclose their scientific research details and confidential matters, it is still very beneficial for them to have so many people to chat with.

Especially the rotating simulated gravity area, they like it the most.

After paying condolences to the Chinese astronauts, the inspection team began to carefully browse the entire space station.

After carefully looking at the Arc Light Group, they realized the gap between the two sides. This is a pure "no comparison, no harm" relationship.

After all, when they first arrived, they saw the reception hall and several large corridors, and they felt pretty good. However, they only knew the difference after seeing China's own part of the space station, and now they browsed the Arc Light Group's space station more carefully. In part, the gap becomes clearer.

Here they fully observed the technological gap between China and Arc Light Aerospace, especially the technical personnel of the space agency. They looked at it very carefully, but the time passed quickly and they left.

They didn't have time to take a closer look when they arrived, because the take-off path this time was very close to the space station, so they came directly over, but when they returned, they had time to take a closer look.

The sun without atmospheric filtering rose slowly behind the earth, and the intense light it emitted was simply unbridled. Even with the filtering of special material filter glass, they still felt the power of the sun.

Fortunately, the filter material is still effective. Most people can still accept this light. Only some old people with poor eyesight and people who are sensitive to light manually pulled off a layer of filter film, and then continued to observe a little. Some of the changing colors of outer space, don't miss a second.

Outside the plane is the deep cosmic space. It is an endless and vast empty space. The bright stars are like the most beautiful gems in the world, dotting their eyes one by one.

"Look, that's our Tiangong Space Station!"

Someone suddenly pointed out the window and said.

After listening to his words, people looked outside one after another, only to see that against the background of space, the one-kilometer-long Tiangong Space Station that they had seen with their own eyes, "blocking out the sky and the sun," was now so small.

From their perspective, it was no bigger than a pencil.

This is a little too small.

"So...that's the moon?"

Another person asked, pointing to the disk outside.

People heard the words and looked over, and found that when there was no atmosphere to process the refracted light, what they saw was just a white-gray large disk with large and small craters, which was the white jade seen on the earth. The disk-like moon.

At this time, Zhao Gang, who was sitting next to Dong Chen, looked at the space outside the porthole and said to Dong Chen, "This is a huge space that far exceeds the earth's space, and is even so huge that it is boundless for humans. And theoretically speaking, We humans have been struggling on this planet for millions of years, fighting each other as we struggle with nature.”

“We have been looking up at the stars for millions of years, and it is only in recent decades that we have stepped into this mysterious space, and this Tiangong space station is just the beginning.

"There are ample resources in space, whether it is energy or minerals, everything that humans need is there, and this is an untapped place waiting for us to develop."

"Xiao Dong, you also know that our country now has nearly 1.5 billion people, and the population will definitely be even more in the future. If we want these people to live the lives of people in developed countries, our own resources are not enough."

"And you also know how to obtain resources. Apart from digging and buying them yourself, there is only one other way."

"But that is obviously not in line with our development strategy. Even if we use that method, the resources obtained may not be enough for more than one billion people to live the lives of people in developed countries. Fortunately, there is space, which provides us with new method."

"With this starting point, we can enter the universe more conveniently, use our current technology to obtain everything we need, and then support our own development."

"And this starting point is still too small. We need a larger space station. Only with a larger starting point can we move to a larger stage."

"So, the future lies in the sea of ​​stars. This sentence is correct!"
