Compared with the ground, space operations are silent operations, with no sound, only light. However, as the saying goes, "Silence is better than sound at this time", because silence leaves a space for imagination.
There are not many space suits, and only ten people can work in groups. Even Zhang Jingyuan and Gao Chengyang, who are already masters at the Golden Core stage, do not dare to test their endurance in space. As long as you need oxygen for another day, don't try to walk unprotected in space.
Under the guidance of scientists, standing on the side edge of the space station, Zhang Jingyuan quietly looked at the behemoth in front of him; the strong sunlight gave the sunny side of the steel monster a layer of brilliant color. The distance of 500 meters allows the shady location in the distance to disappear into the dark space. As for the photovoltaic cells with a radius of ten kilometers, you can only see a broad blue line at this location, like a sharp blade, crossing the space
A steel plate that was 100 meters long and about six meters wide fell tremblingly on the steel frame. The automated welding robot arm that relied on electromagnetic adsorption on the space base crawled automatically and accurately to accurately weld the steel plate to the frame. Its precision can ensure that there is no defect the size of a pinhole in a ten-kilometer-long weld.
Such steel plates were placed in the cabin of the Rise space shuttle and sent to space after basic welding and polishing were completed on the ground. Such a heavy steel plate, with a thickness of just over 3 centimeters, weighs about 150 tons per piece. In order to ensure the safety of the space base, the outside must be covered with three layers of such steel plates, which add up to a thickness of ten centimeters.
During space construction, after comprehensive consideration, Gaoshou Company abandoned titanium alloys that were considered to be developed for aerospace, and instead chose bulky steel. The reason is simple: mass production technology is mature, the process is stable, and subsequent maintenance is convenient; most importantly, under the current conditions, among metals of the same thickness, steel is still among the best, and if costs are included, it deserves to be the first. .
A welding robot arm landed in front of Zhang Jingyuan, and a set of three welding guns melted the steel easily. The special welding rod was made of exactly the same material as the steel plate, achieving a perfect fusion. The welding robot arm automatically retreated, leaving a red weld seam in front, and then cooled rapidly in space; during the entire work, there was fire, but there was almost no debris. This is one of the most difficult aspects of space operations. Compared with the earth's land, debris will settle automatically; in space, any tiny debris generated can penetrate the human body like a bullet.
Even so, the protective steel plates specially installed on the outermost surface of the spacesuits worn by the staff were already pitted. There are very few operating environments that can compare with space; it is beautiful and great but also carries the danger of life.
Both feet landed gently and slowly on a steel plate that had just been welded. A loud noise came from under the feet. It was the sound of the steel plate hitting. Not far away, a steel plate just fell on the frame and began to be welded.
Then, there was the roar of the engine working.
In order to adjust the orbit of this behemoth, a total of 10 K01 engines were placed at different locations, as well as thousands of small ion engines provided by the country to correct the orbit in space.
Every time the steel plate and steel column falls, it will disrupt the orbit of the space base. You may not be able to see it at one or two points; but if you don't make corrections, this monster will crash in one day at most.
To adjust such a behemoth, the existing steel supports alone weigh more than 20,000 tons. To adjust such a monster, even the K01 model engine must be started at full strength. Then, it needs to be turned off within 0.3 seconds, otherwise the monster will run off the track.
Standing on such a man-made object, you will find that people are so small, but you can also see that the space base that the master company has decided to build is not just a small space capsule in the traditional sense, but a real space base. space base. It will be able to meet the living needs of more than 10,000 people. This will also be mankind's first true space immigration base.
Zhang Jingyuan and others returned, and the other senior executives of the master company came to inspect one by one. In the space age, you must have a view of the sky! The simplest way, but also the most difficult way, is to take a look in space!
To put it simply, it is just a trip; but to say it is difficult, it is also easy to understand: a space shuttle is not a bicycle! After that, all the senior management of Gaoshou Company stayed in space for 48 hours, including watching the moon, the earth, the third unlucky comet, watching the intermittent time of a solar magnetic storm, rushing into space, and enjoying space surfing.
The process of the space shuttle returning to the ground was truly exciting. Even Zhou Feixuan, a master who was close to the golden elixir stage of transcending the tribulation, let out a terrifying scream. Orange-red flames enveloped the space shuttle; no, it was not a flame, but a flow of heated air after violent friction, and it only looked like a flame on the outside. At this time, the space shuttle's speed is as high as 7 kilometers per second. This is the most vulnerable moment for the space shuttle. Once attacked at this time, it has almost no ability to resist.
Zhang Jingyuan is very self-aware. It is estimated that many countries want to destroy Gaoshou Company. Among other things, the United States and Russia will definitely not show mercy if given the opportunity. Therefore, Zhang Jingyuan did not dare to test it with his own life, and was prepared for the best and the worst. In fact, the satellites in space have not stopped working since Gaoshou Company took off. The 50 space shuttles really made all countries sweat. Gaoshou Company is afraid of sneak attacks, but these countries are also afraid that Gaoshou Company will suddenly have a seizure. Destroy all the satellites in space! Although it may be very low, but if you can’t stand it, someone may have convulsions...
Therefore, the Master Company slowly rushes into the atmosphere in batches of ten. It is not until the first wave stabilizes and can move flexibly in the atmosphere that the second wave begins to sprint.
Because this time they were all high-level experts in the company, and none of them had a cultivation level below level 6 during the Qi training period, so the pilots braked with confidence. The acceleration climbed to more than ten times in an instant. In just half a minute, it leveled off. Flexible flight within the atmosphere.
When 50 planes from the Master Company landed collectively, the mammoth scene made all the representatives from various countries who came spontaneously lose their voices.
Through the porthole, Zhang Jingyuan smiled, this was his purpose! Yes, Zhang Jingyuan is not just here to visit space, but more importantly: to establish his prestige!
In the space age, values in the traditional sense have completely collapsed. In space transactions worth trillions at every turn, even the major European and American countries, with all their national efforts, feel helpless in the development of space.
The Swiss transaction was not kept secret, these people already knew about it. Switzerland, a small country with an area of 40,000 square kilometers, has to pay such a price. So, what does a country like the United States pay for?
