After the one-week visit, international friends invited by Star Ring Trade began to return home.
The long carriage runs from the edge of the star ring to the central track and begins to fall down along the narrow elevator track.
At almost the same time, at the other end of the star ring main axis, a dark blue arc flashed for a moment, and a black dot was thrown into the vast universe...
call.
After a long breath, the driver moved his stiff fingers, gently moved his thumb with his right hand on the joystick, and turned off breathing assistance.
The electromagnetic acceleration feels bad. Although the physical fitness is injected with the injection and anti-compression training is carried out, if there is no respiratory aid and decompression cockpit, the acceleration close to 12G and the acceleration time of more than one minute can still squeeze out the last trace of air in his chest cavity.
After moving his stiff neck, Liu Qingpeng opened the dial on the holographic helmet.
Half a year ago, he moved to Xinguo through the aerospace volunteer immigration policy of Xinguo. Originally, he only planned to work for two or three years and then change to work as an electrician, but he did not expect that because of his talent in some aspects, he became an employee of the Star Ring Trade and eventually became a driver of the Electric Ray P-1.
The plan was half a month ahead of schedule, but it had no impact on him.
Although it was his first flight mission, his performance was quite calm. After all, in the virtual reality, he had no idea how many hours he had been flying.
Now, even if you close your eyes, you can drive this space plane to the asteroid of Benu.
There is no reference to navigating in the starry sky. Even if he leaves the earth at a speed of 72 kilometers per second, he cannot tell with his naked eyes that any changes have occurred in the starry sky ahead.
With his finger pointing to the operation panel, Liu Qingpeng turned on the voice control system.
Open the task beacon.
The signal light on the side of the helmet flashed slightly, and an asteroid made of three-dimensional lines appeared in his sight directly in front of him. A traced line was drawn above the asteroid, marked with the words Bennu.
Immediately afterwards, a pale yellow path emerged in the field of view, drawing a slightly curvature arc, pointing from the cockpit 1 of the electric ray P-1 to the position of the asteroid.
The route is set up.
The plasma engine output power is 40%.
go ahead!
In the deep and dark starry sky, layers of faint blue light particles swept across the tail of the electric ray P-1, turning into arrows that rush away.
……
In the ground command center, a figure of a man and a woman stood in front of a large screen, watching the real-time images transmitted from more than 400,000 kilometers away.
Outside the atmosphere, speed and distance are always just monotonous characters.
If the number 400,000 kilometers is put back on Earth, it will be enough to circle the equator for ten circles.
However, for the Electric Ray X-1 series spacecraft cruising at a high speed of 20 kilometers per second, the flight time is less than half of the civil aviation flights from Beijing to California.
After hearing that the first mining spacecraft arrived, Jiang Chen came to the space launch center.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Shuying followed.
In the picture, the electric ray P-1, which has completed slowing down, turned off the engine and slowly approached the asteroid that was intertwined by graphene cables based on inertia.
The electric ray that unfolded the mining module was like a water spider, and a faint blue light blade popped up at the ends of the first two robotic arms.
That is not a laser knife, but an ion jet with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees.
Such a high temperature can even poke a hole in the steel with just a touch, so it is naturally no problem to cut minerals.
Two laser knives interlaced and cut two holes into the ore body without any suspense.
The other two robotic arms, like two pliers, were fixed to the asteroid's shell.
The two forearm tools changed, jumped from a laser knife to two props like alloy hammers, and smashed them up along the cut.
Seeing that the LED ray P-1 separated the ore block from the ore body in two steps, Jiang Shuying couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
It was really strange to see a surprised expression on her face.
It's like making a movie.Jiang Shuying exclaimed.
And it's a science fiction blockbuster.Jiang Chen teased.
He has long seen the three-dimensional simulation working graphics of the Electric Ray P-1, and of course he would not be as surprised by the mining method with such a sci-fi style as Jiang Shuying, whom he saw for the first time.
At this time, Jiang Shuying suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
Why don't we ship it to a synchronous track to mine?
Hearing her questions, Jiang Chen smiled and showed off his aerospace knowledge that he learned and sold.
Although this asteroid with a diameter of 500 meters seems to be not as large as our Star Ring City, its net weight is much heavier than ours.If you are too close to the earth, gravity will directly pull it over.Of course, it is not impossible to really move it to the synchronous track. Just add a spiral arm to the back of it like Star Ring City as a balance hammer, and you can hang it in the sky.
But from the perspective of cost, there is no need for this at all.
The pulse engines used by our electric rays are powered by nuclear fusion batteries, and the fuel costs are not high.In addition to the acceleration and deceleration stage, aircraft that set the routes are just doing inertial cruise for a long distance.
We just need to send the electric ray to the asteroid, cut the ore off it, and pull it back through the cargo spacecraft.
At this time, the electric ray P-1 was like a mosquito lying on a piece of fat meat, constantly peeling the ore from the ore body and collecting it in the folding container.
Waiting next to it is the freight spacecraft independently developed by Star Ring Trade, which uses RM-400 plasma propulsion engine. Although the acceleration performance is inferior to that of the electric ray's pulse engine, its advantage lies in its large thrust, which is more suitable for large and medium-sized freight spacecraft.
After all, cargo spacecraft does not need to do any high-motor movements, just be able to transport things straight away.
Jiang Shuying glanced at Jiang Chen, with a smile on her lips.
It is different from Dilraba Dilmurat. If you want to ask her when Jiang Chen looks the most fascinating to her, her answer is undoubtedly a confident look.
The relationship between the two is much closer now than at the beginning.
As promised last year, Jiang Chen selectively told Jiang Shuying about the end of the world.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Jiang Shuying had already guessed something, but she just didn't say it.
However, when she heard Jiang Chen say it in person, she was still quite surprised.
Just as Jiang Chen expected, the answer she imagined in her mind was completely different from his actual situation.
She originally thought that Jiang Chen had traveled to a human kingdom in the Milky Way that had entered the interstellar era. The reason why Jiang Chen spared no effort to develop aerospace technology was to help the earth fight against that interstellar civilization...
And because of some restrictions, I had to go back and stay for a while at a specific time.
I have to say that women have a big brain, which is enough to make a Hollywood blockbuster.
After a while, the mineral collected by the electric ray P-1 was already filled with a cargo box.
The two robotic arms clamped the hook of the cargo box, and the electric ray flew to the edge of the cargo spacecraft with the cargo box, and then slowly placed the cargo box in the cargo box on its abdomen. At the same time, the robotic arms took out a memory alloy plate from the cargo spacecraft.
After powering on, the memory alloy plate unfolded into a cargo box similar to that before.
The next step is to repeat the homework, and there is no more viewing.
Jiang Shuying had something to deal with, so Jiang Chen took her away from the launch center first and boarded the yacht in the port.
Just as he was about to go to sea to return to Koro Island, the phone from the Presidential Palace suddenly hit his watch.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Yaping said it directly.
We're in trouble.
