Chapter 444 Return
The astronaut’s heart skipped a beat.
It wasn't until Xingchen straightened his arms, assumed a diving posture, and stuck his head in that he realized that Xingchen was much bigger than he had imagined.
The hatch of the aviation cabin is not small, more than enough for them to pass through wearing spacesuits.
But although the space suit is large, it is basically relatively rounded.
Excluding the feathers on the head of the star, the net height reaches 3 meters. The width is also widened due to the towering shoulder armor. The entire mecha is bumpy and angular, but it is not actually slender.
Just as her forearms and head entered the hatch, the pressure caused the pilot to step back unconsciously.
Now that I am stuck at the hatch, what should I do?
Lin Fan knew that the material of the aviation cabin was not as hard as the star armor, so she entered very slowly for fear of damaging the cabin door, which would be a big sin for her.
She felt it the moment her wings got stuck at the cabin door.
"I'm sorry, I was flying too fast just now and forgot to retract my wings." She apologized guiltily and immediately stepped back.
In fact, on the ground, many trainings have been conducted to address the issue of hatch size.
If Xingchen retracts his wings and changes his posture in time, he can enter the cabin door. It is a bit crowded and people will definitely not be too comfortable, but it is not a problem anyway.
Otherwise, there would be no plan to let her go to the space station.
However, because of this size issue, researchers are already considering plans to enlarge the hatch in the future.
The astronaut looked out from the hatch and saw that the three pairs of large long strip wings on Xingchen's back, which were all open, were retracted by her, shrunk and retracted, twisted and twisted, and adjusted for a while before they were tightly attached to the behind.
She adjusted her posture again and slowly entered the hatch.
This time I just passed by and came in narrowly.
Bend your hands inward after entering. After the shoulders are fully inserted, quickly retract your arms to your chest to save space in front of you.
When your head is pushed against the cabin wall, be careful not to poke the horns of your feathers into the cabin wall, as your calves are still outside the cabin at this time.
She carefully bent her legs and brought her knees up to her chest. The sharp bulge on her knees almost poked the pilot. It was so frightening that people pressed themselves against the back bulkhead.
"I'm sorry." Lin Fan apologized and carefully adjusted the angle.
Finally, the pilot was able to move to the door position and close the door.
The cabin door closed and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The people at the main console applauded crazily, and the roars came one after another.
The four people in the space station heard everyone's congratulations through their headphones and couldn't help but feel happy.
The first stage of the stars ascending to the sky was successfully completed!
The airlock began to inject air. After reaching the standard, Xingchen released the mecha state, revealing Lin Fan inside.
Suddenly changing from a controllable state to a weightless state, her limbs involuntarily pulled a few times, and after hitting the bulkhead several times, she quickly found her balance.
Pilot C had not yet recovered from the visual shock of being transformed into a living person, when he saw her clumsy posture and couldn't help laughing.
The inner cabin door opened, and the two astronauts inside looked at Lin Fan who had returned to human form. They were somewhat disappointed, but they also welcomed her into the cockpit very warmly.
Compared to the nimble three people, C in the space suit moves very clumsily and slowly.
With the help of the other two people, I took off my spacesuit, and the clothes on my body were soaked with sweat.
"Welcome, welcome. I am the mission leader this time. Welcome Comrade Lin Fan to our space station." The middle-aged man who had just taken off his spacesuit adjusted his description for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said to Lin Fan Fan's little hands were tightly clasped together.
After a brief introduction, the two astronauts were busy heating up the food - after all, Lin Fan's main purpose of entering the space station was to rest.
Rest is one aspect, replenishing energy is the main aspect.
The chief controller is afraid that this flight will accelerate the energy consumption of the stars, leaving her without enough energy to maintain the status of the stars and land safely.
So the first priority when entering the space station is to eat.
The mission leader took Lin Fan to visit the space station while the team members were busy.
Spacious and bright space, various equipment arranged in an orderly manner...
As Lin Fan entered the space station for the first time, he kept looking around with his mouth open.
She felt more and more that her decision this time was the right one, and she should contribute to aerospace technology!
After finishing the tour, she was able to move freely in the weightless space.
“Come on, come on, try our food.”
There is already a lot of food on the temporary table set up, but they are all packed in bags, waiting to be eaten people open.
It looks red and green, very appetizing, and has meat, vegetables, snacks, everything, very rich. After Lin Fan thanked him, he experienced the feeling of eating and drinking in space. It was really novel, but also really inconvenient.
At first, the three astronauts accompanied her to eat. After he finished his portion, he smiled and watched her eat.
No matter how many times Lin Fan has been watched by others while eating, he still feels a little embarrassed to be at such a close distance and at the same table.
"You eat, you eat." The female astronaut carefully placed the meal in her hand, "We all know that you rely on this to recharge your energy, eat more. Safety first."
Lin Fan chuckled, no longer so restrained.
Ask them about life in the sky from time to time. While satisfying your curiosity, you will also answer their questions about the stars.
Three hours passed in which the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Lin Fan finished his supplements and it was time to return.
Although the time we spent together was short, several people felt a sense of reluctance. But the mission must continue.
No one has forgotten that Xingchen’s test flight this time is for the success of the space shuttle’s test flight.
Now it seems that the success rate has been greatly improved, just wait for the stars to land safely.
Seeing Lin Fan and the mission commander put on spacesuits enter the airlock, A and B were annoyed to remember that they had not seen the stars up close.
The control panel indicates that the outer hatch is open. The hatch camera could see Xingchen closing the hatch and leaving.
"It's okay, it's okay. There will be another chance in the future." A comforted B.
Lin Fan’s laughter came from their headphones, “Look outside.”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, they reached the observation window and saw the stars hanging directly in front of the window.
Seeing them coming, he turned around 360 degrees, fully opened the three pairs of big wings, and finally posed in a very cool pose.
"How's it going? No regrets, right?"
"No regrets, no regrets!" The two of them laughed so hard that their teeth couldn't even see their eyes, and they replied in succession.
They looked at the majestic appearance of the stars and their ability to move freely in space, and were filled with emotion in their hearts.
It would be great when the mechas they create themselves can reach this level.
But it’s too soon! Soon!
Ten years ago, they did not expect the space station today.
Last month, they did not expect that the space shuttle had been completed.
The technological level of country H is making great strides forward, and there are brave men like Lin Fan...
Why worry about the future? Why worry about the future!
The stars flew away as the two people stared at each other with tears in their eyes, and soon disappeared.
"General Controller, I am Xingchen." Lin Fan looked at the Lanxing in front of her. It was not the map distribution she was familiar with.
After a few hours on the space station, she is no longer where she was before.
But these are not big problems before Xingchen’s high-speed flight capabilities and sufficient battery life.
The chief controller also wanted to take the opportunity to test the positioning ability of Xingchen.
"General control received. Xingchen, please speak."
After Xingchen entered the space station, these people on the ground took a short rest and came back early to wait and prepare for Xingchen's return.
"I am preparing to return now, please show me the way." Lin Fan reported as he flew towards Country H.
"The coordinates of the return point are as follows." The chief controller first sent the set coordinates of the sea area to Lin Fan's eyepiece, and then said in a voice full of emotion.
"We will always accompany you and point you in the direction."
"Stars, welcome home!"
Mechas that have been in space are qualified mechas, haha , the third volume will be available next month
The astronauts don’t have names, it’s not that I don’t respect them, because they won’t be around anymore, so naming them doesn’t mean much.
I always want to describe it more delicately and make the picture more vivid, but I am afraid that the one-stroke description will be too empty, or the foreshadowing will not be in place, and the explanation will not be clear, and everyone will not know what I am talking about.
Ah, this is not a good habit. I'll change it again.
