At the same time, when the "Mars Express" began to return to Earth, the firefly space station did not stop, and five astronauts began to leave the space station to walk in space for space operations.

Next, they will let the "Firefly" space station officially start to orbit at high altitude on Mars, and the firefly space station is about to expand from a "single" gorgeous transformation.

Only an astronaut was suspended in the space station's No. 2 experimental module, and in front of him, the flat B230 inflatable space capsule began to slowly bulge, a large amount of nitrogen, oxygen equal to the earth's atmospheric environment consistent air in the inflatable space capsule, the cabin's internal air pressure is steadily rising, until consistent with the Earth's atmosphere, "Fire" space station's internal space volume officially increased by 230 cubic meters of space.

After the B230 inflatable capsule was safely opened and operated, the small display panel on the back of the wrist was moved a few times, and the truss on the main module of the space station began to change, and the two truss limbs moved with the pulley, rotated and angled, and finally fixed the B230 and assembled a pair interface on its tail.

At this time, the astronauts saw a drummed inflatable space capsule, the appearance of the logo is B330, indicating that this independent inflatable space capsule has a space capacity of 330 cubic meters.

Next, the slowly floating B330 will be artificially rendezvous and docking with the B230.

After the astronaut took over the control of the B330, he was suspended around him, and a mini version of the handle appeared in his hand, small but unusually complex, and there was an 11-inch screen in the middle, showing a green grid-like figure of the spatial distribution between the b330 and the b230, with a large amount of live data changing on both sides.

The engrossed astronaut, his line of sight in the capsule and the 11-inch screen frequent exchange, the surface of the B330 inflatable capsule from time to time spewing gas, slowly flying, getting brighter and closer to the B230 interface.

Finally, 18 minutes, the two capsules docking was completed, and the responsible astronaut finally breathed a breath, hanging the small handle one by one on the components of the thigh, and reported: "Experimental Module 2 to operate normally."

Looking at it, the entire "Fireflies" space station in the five astronauts in the outer space continued to operate, the internal crew with the cooperation, six and a half hours to complete the "fire" cocoon trip, six hundred meters long solar panels are extremely shocked, these panels in addition to absorb some of the greatest role in the solar energy or in order to cover the core energy of the space station from the earth to provide the fact of high energy from the earth.

Otherwise, such a large space station is also very strange.

After a few hours, the "Fire" space station and the United States "Noah" for the first time established communication, trapped in hundreds of millions of kilometers of lonely world, the original hope of life was so slim that Duncan Jones in the hearing of the same voice at that moment, can no longer suppress the excitement in the heart, although he knows that the other side is Chinese, but here, it is not important at this moment.

After completing the establishment of the communication connection, Duncan Jones transferred the control authority of Noah to the "Flamingo" space station according to the instructions, which was through the summit of the Houston Space Center, and "Noah" to complete the docking with the "Fireworks" space station, the instructions must be consistent.

Fortunately, although the two artificial objects come from different countries, they all have one thing in common, that is, both products from Bigelow Aerospace, which means that they can match the pair interface early.

At the same time, the "Mars Express" is on the road to return, three months later, as scheduled to reach the high-altitude orbit of the Earth, the spacecraft was placed in the "Heavenly Palace Ring orbit star port" parking port, in the "Mars Express" return of the three months, the earth's cmsx and NASA are also preparing quickly.

The spacecraft into the "Tiangong Ring Star Port" began to supply materials, especially energy supplies, a round trip to consume a lot of energy, but energy supply is not very difficult, full of energy of the Amethyst stone has long been ready, the spacecraft into the mooring port after the beginning of the internal energy reserve warehouse into the energy to let the inner purple crystals to be replenished by energy.

With the announcement of the safe return of the Mars Express to Earth, the global vision has gradually shifted from nuclear fusion energy to space exploration, and the cooperation between the world's two strongest space powers has also attracted much attention.

Since the formal cooperation consensus between CMSX and NASA, with the help of matrix technology for three months, NASA can finally send "Noah 2" into space in advance, when the Americans carrying a large number of supplies "Noah 2" will be docked with the "Mars Express" and use this vehicle to reach Mars.

In October, the moment of attention came again.

NASA's special plane arrived at Hainan International Airport with a team of armed tactical teams, astronauts and researchers, and a six-person armed tactical team, four astronauts and two researchers totaled 12.

In the afternoon, this group of people officially arrived at the headquarters of the CMXX space base under the leadership of the head of NASA, Charles Bor.

After a day of rest, a small armed detachment sent by NASA was secretly sent into other areas, and the cooperation between the two sides was semi-open to the outside world, and only the two sides knew about the dispatch of armed detachments to Mars, and remained top secret to the outside world.

Both sides have their own armed squads, and their mission is clear, that is, to undertake the defense mission of the Mars outpost base, and the main enemy is the Martian indigenous creatures.

On the third day, Matrix Technology and NASA once again held a press conference, in addition to the official representatives of the two sides, the astronauts of the two countries also attended, NASA attended 6, while cmsx was attended by 3, a total of 9 astronauts attended the meeting.

Of course, these are announced astronauts or researchers, the two sides of the armed tactical team has long been sent to space yesterday through the "Ginger Nine", the dispatch of armed team to Mars personnel must not appear in the public eye, send the armed forces to Mars if the outside world knows that the pot, and NASA more astronauts than the CMX is because the other side to supplement the loss of Mars.

A photo of 20 people soon appeared on the headlines of major media newspapers, 9 astronauts in the forefront, the rest of the staff is the official representatives of cmsx and NASA, Liu Yuliang and Charles Bol are also in the column, the background of the photo is the flag representing the two countries, it is worth mentioning that this time Ren Hong did not attend the meeting.

After the routine reception, the astronauts will also be on board and leave the earth.

The next day, the CMSX space base runway outside the attic area, a large number of reporters in the dawn of the scene set up a camera, "the arc eagle 9" has been docked on the runway field, for the media, this is the first time for CMSX let them close to shoot the arc of the launch tower of the runway field.

The Mars rescue is remarkable.

Today is the day of the joint expedition, naturally ushered in the global attention, the major media newspapers are doing live reports, and the Google satellites in outer space are also ready.

7:37, the appearance of a dry horse immediately let countless cameras lock them, but it is the figure of 9 astronauts, they appeared on the runway and beckoning to the camera, under the lock of the camera, the door of the "Gear Eagle Nine" slowly opened, the staff immediately pushed the ladder, under the focus of global vision, 9 astronauts have boarded.

At 8:21 a.m., staff on the runway were evacuated.

"Hello, I'm a paleontologist, Eslyn Euton, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

“Hello, Liu Peng.”

“Liu, are you going to Mars?”

“Yes.”

"Wow, I'm a fan of yours, and I think there's going to be a lot of people wailing, and the space anchors are gone."

"My name is Fitch Franklin."

“The sweet spot.”

In the cabin, the two sides introduced each other to start small talk, familiar with the relationship, the next time together at least more than 100 days, although the array is different, but after all, this time is the cooperation period, this time Jingsun and Aslin two people are also attracted attention, because their first batch of female astronauts landing on Mars, destined to be recorded in history.

"All units pay attention to the fact that the spacecraft is about to start..." The voice announcer in the cabin sounded English instead of Chinese, no way, several foreigners do not know Chinese, but all Chinese astronauts know English.

People began to check the seat belts to confirm all the safety problems, an astronaut said with a little excitement: "completely different feeling, feel like an Airbus plane, haha."

For this group of old beauty is indeed so, "Arcible Eagle 9" is completely designed for carrying personnel, the maximum load can take 29 people into space at the same time, and fixed on the rocket car is different, in the "Arco Eagle 9" cabin is completely like an Airbus aircraft, comfort is naturally not comparable to the rocket spacecraft.

The old beauty of the first experience of the Chinese space transport aircraft is very curious and excited about the next thing, and for them everything is the first experience.

“2...1 fire...”

As the nine astronauts in the cabin advanced at high speed, the high acceleration made everyone's back stick to their seats at the same time.

“It’s a familiar feeling, it’s hard!”

Outside the runway, countless cameras locked in the arc orbit of the high-speed "Ring Eagle 9", less than 10 seconds, the spacecraft and the launch tower separated, and finally flew into the sky, facing the sky.

The heat wave on the runway field impressed these reporters, the camera captured the orbital area the spacecraft swept across, and the scene air in the picture was rippling with clear ripples, which shows how intimidating the temperature on the runway at this moment.

After the spacecraft left the runway, the staff wearing special thermal insulation protective clothing immediately poured into the runway to start manual cooling and maintenance, the reporter also want to stay longer to get more information, such as those staff special clothing, maintenance of the runway field and other first-hand information, but the main has gone to heaven, the security personnel of the cmsx space base have begun to impose forced eviction for these reporters.

Earth's high-altitude orbit.

“Oh my God!”

"Although it is not the first time to see the 'Heavenly Palace', but the first time to see her so close still feel shocking, incredible, I am on the way to board!" 」

“How did you do this miracle?”Eslyn looked back at the Chinese astronaut behind her and asked in surprise.At this moment, nine astronauts at the same time seized a white cable, is being pulled to the star port entrance, all wearing spacesuits appear in outer space, six Americans curious around, some in the star port of the huge centrifugal module, some are looking at the "eye two" and so on, in front of this behemoth, this space fortress is the largest space station in the history of mankind Tiangong orbiting star port.

The straight-haired Aslin chatted during the spacewalk, undisguised expressions of envy, all kinds of amazement emerged in an endless stream, and it was possible to see that this was from the heart, without the slightest falsification.Several Chinese astronauts heard her various words of admiration, and their hearts also revealed a kind of joy and pride.

Tiangong Ring Star Port is undoubtedly the crystallization of this country's space technology, and has become a symbol of this country's super strength in the field of space technology, and any citizen will be proud.
