As the first echelon ended, a huge ring with a diameter of about 20,600 meters appeared in space, connected by a dense gray fiber mesh; hundreds of carbon fiber meshes were perfectly superimposed under precise operations to form a An airtight mesh bag.
"The second echelon is ready!" Mu Xinghai looked serious. This time the drill also does not allow for any errors. Likewise, in the real action that is about to come, there is no room for any mistakes; maybe just a little mistake, it will be enough. It may cause a great collision between heaven and earth. Once such a meteorite falls in a densely populated area, it may cause 1.5 billion casualties. China cannot afford this consequence - what if it falls on itself!
"Brigade D is ready!" "Brigade E is ready!" "Brigade F is ready!"
"Team d001 set off with 20,000 meters of carbon fiber net. The fiber net cable fell at position 13 of team a001 and team a002."
The action requirements for this group are relatively strict, and the first priority is still the national aspect.
But as for the country, when we reach Group E, it’s all over. The rest are all from expert companies. The space shuttle of the Master Company is relatively messy. There are old-style ones with a thrust of just over 150 tons; there are relatively new ones with a thrust of 155 tons; there are improved ones with a thrust of 180 tons; more importantly, many space shuttles have been privately modified, like Mu Xinghai’s car, which has a thrust of enough Nearly 500 tons! In addition, Gaoshou Company also has the behemoth Rise. The latest Rise has a thrust of up to 3,000 tons; while the once representative Rise 2 has a thrust of 2,400 tons.
What a mess! Because many of the space shuttles of the Master Company have been manually modified and optimized, none of them have the same thrust; only the Soar, the new Rise, and the newly rolled-out aircraft have the same thrust.
Being able to optimize one's own car at will is a dream life for pilots in expert companies; however, it is currently causing a lot of trouble. To this end, these gaps have to be offset through appropriate central adjustments and multi-faceted comprehensive superposition. And this requires more calculations; many scientific researchers curse in their hearts: A good space shuttle is not enough for you to play with. No matter what you change, you are not afraid of falling!
However, the operational exercises still need to continue. Time waits for no one, so we must do it as soon as possible.
This layer is more chaotic. In order to balance the respective dynamic issues, appropriate center deviations have to be adopted, and finally the central gathering point of the entire third-layer network is at the exact center. But there is still a lot of room available...
So the chaos is yet to come. What's left is a headache for all the experts. All the unique aircraft are waiting at the end: the modified space shuttle that exceeds the limit, the powerful Rise, and the five-block Space Adventure spacecraft cabin produced by the Master Company - a single machine has a thrust of 2,000 tons. Sincerely to all scientific workers Alexander.
This is not over yet. In order to maximize the use of resources, 200 people were selected from the initially selected students and joined in groups of two to drive the test machine. This time, it’s even more chaotic!
Fortunately, it was finally finished, but the layout of the last floor was simply aesthetically unsightly and a mess at first glance. It's as uncomfortable as having bedbugs crawling on the petals of a beautiful flower. But this is the largest lineup that China and even the earth can produce.
"The inspection of the No. 1 satellite has been completed, and the error of all space shuttles is less than one part per hundred thousand, which meets the requirements."
"Satellite No. 2 has been inspected, everything..." "Satellite No. 3 has been inspected..."
After more than a dozen consecutive satellite inspections were completed, this first stage was considered perfect. But from the beginning to now, almost 30 hours have passed. In space, not only does the space shuttle itself have to adjust, it also has to follow the Earth's revolution, etc. This is an extremely complex calculation. In particular, many people may not know that the time in space is not synchronized with the time on the earth. Every minute in space is three billionths of a second faster. This time gap may not be a big deal to humans; but under the conditions of the scale and speed of space, it is fatal. There is still a slight gap between low-Earth orbit and real outer space time!
It is such an existence that complicates calculations and makes this space activity more dangerous.
After all the monitoring satellites and the monitoring reports from the space base were correct, Mu Xinghai cheered up and said, "Everyone, please pay attention and check the status of the aircraft for 30 minutes."
Tick tock...tick tock...
Everyone took it seriously.
"Inspection completed, a001, unit 1 is in good condition." "A001, unit 2 is in good condition."......
Until the end, all five Adventure spacecraft cabins were reported and inspected, and all the basic work had been completed.
"Listen to the order below, listen to the order below." Mu Xinghai repeated twice, "All flight times are reset to zero, all flight times are reset to zero. If it cannot be reset to zero, please answer, if it cannot be reset to zero, please answer!"
"Very good, next step, pilots please adjust the aircraft to remote automatic control; repeat, pilots please adjust the aircraft to remote automatic control."
"Pilots are requested to strictly monitor their own aircraft, and pilots are requested to strictly monitor all conditions of the aircraft; if there are any changes beyond the regulations, please report them immediately; if there are any changes beyond the regulations, they must be reported immediately!" (I don't want to repeat it, But the real order is more strict than this, and even needs to be repeated by the operator, even on both sides. Taking into account the novel, it has been simplified to retain the necessary atmosphere)
Next, all actions, etc., will be controlled by staff and supercomputers in the New Continent base in space.
As for such an important event, the president of the country, national leaders, senior executives of the master company, etc. were all present.
Because the power reserve is not particularly sufficient, we canceled dragging the space base as the object of the exercise; it was just a "simple" virtual exercise. Of course, the virtual exercise is not that the space shuttle is stationary, but that it is in an empty state in the carbon fiber mesh.
The supercomputer has more than a dozen large screens spanning hundreds of square meters, which display all the status of the space shuttle. Some display the position, some display the power, some display the personal safety status, some display the aircraft stress state; some display the carbon fiber mesh stress state, etc.
Responsible for monitoring this matter is a team of experts from the country. They have decades of experience in rocket launches, which is far beyond what today's expert companies can match. Even Li Changxing can only lead his own team, including Zhong Yuanxing and others, and obey the orders of this expert team.
Huge screens flash and various security warning lights decorate the place like a dream; only various beeping electronic sounds give the place a sci-fi feel that transcends reality.
"Attention, control the engine ignition, all engines ignite at the lowest power..."
"Okay, now start accelerating. Pay attention to making all the aircraft's forces consistent and ensuring that the stacked carbon fiber mesh does not separate..."
"Accelerate, continue to accelerate, until the speed is 45 kilometers per second! Assume that at this time we and the Apophis asteroid are moving side by side in the same direction and speed..."
"Okay, now start turning and accelerate slightly, block the carbon fiber net in front of Apophis, make gentle contact, be sure to be gentle... Also, be careful not to lock the two middlemost planes. All planes must Can leave at any time; the 30,000-meter one is close to the asteroid, and the 10,000-meter one is at the outermost position.”
"Okay, decelerate in reverse! Apply a slight force and don't overload the carbon fiber mesh, space shuttle, etc...."
"Okay, now keep all space shuttles stable and start turning now..."
"Very good, please leave the aircraft whose power consumption exceeds 5% (simulating the real situation of running out of power)." The ones leaving at this time were mainly Dragon fighter jets. There is nothing you can do about your innate deficiencies.
"The remaining aircraft have insufficient thrust. All Dragon fighter jets will come back immediately to replace batteries and replenish power!"
In order to make the exercise as realistic as possible, we tried to imitate it as much as possible in terms of time; only because of insufficient energy reserves, we could only try it briefly. Even so, imitating the capture of the asteroid Apophis would require about three consecutive days of operations. To weaken, change speed and direction little by little. There can be no carelessness in this process!
