In order to ensure that the Shenzhou successfully completes the docking and assembly task and plays a role in gathering the confidence of all mankind in next week's global live broadcast, the institute is moving very quickly and has begun to use the space elevator to transport the cruise ship in the past few days.

Various components to the near-Earth spaceport.

And under the control of Xingtong, the formal splicing of the main body began.

Coupled with some of the Shenzhou footage released from time to time, the popularity of the entire network is getting higher and higher.

The global public is eagerly awaiting it.

We are all looking forward to the live broadcast event in a few days.

Let’s witness this great rise of human civilization together.

Under the wash of joy, the panic in everyone's hearts was temporarily forgotten.

Completely forget about Pluto.

Saturday, April 13, 2030.

Everything is appropriate.

In the master control center of Dengtian Island Ground Station, Xu Lei, Wu Chuping, Li Chengzhe, Yang Senping, Yu Hongliang and others looked serious, with nervousness mixed with a little excitement and anticipation.

Today is the day for the final docking and launch of the main body of the Shenzhou, and the live broadcast has also begun.

Xu Lei, Wu Chuping, Li Chengzhe and others, as the main persons in charge of the heavy cruiser manufacturing plan, must personally take command on such an important occasion to ensure that the matter can be a complete success.

In addition, this time Xu Lei also decided to board the Shenzhou himself.

Doing this not only fulfills the dream of being a man, but also sends a signal to the outside world.

In the future, technology will not leave all human beings to survive alone.

The crisis on Pluto must be resolved.

As for Yang Senping, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Yu Hongliang, the commander-in-chief of the base, they simply did not want to miss this scene that could be recorded in the history of human civilization, so they came to Dentian Island specially.

And among these people, there is also a special being.

It is Xingtong's mechanical body.

"How are all the processes going?" Xu Lei walked to the main control screen. There was no sound from his body, but it reached the ears of everyone behind him.

Li Chengzhe was the first to react and report on the current situation: "The main body of the Shenzhou has basically been spliced. The remaining core power system was just transported to the space elevator ten minutes ago and can be started at any time to the near-Earth space port to complete the final splicing.

"

"Dean Xu, I think we can start. I'm afraid the global public can't wait." Wu Chuping, who was standing next to him, stood up and reminded him.

Xu Lei knew that as long as the remaining six nuclear fusion power engines were successfully installed on the main body of the cruise ship, the Shenzhou would be able to undergo the final start-up test.

Even the two heavy rail guns that serve as the main weapons can also try to test their power.

Yang Senping and Yu Hongliang were not participants in the Hammer Project, so they were very sensible at this time and did not express their opinions rashly.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lei stopped wasting time and immediately gave the command to start the space elevator.

"Start the ladder and send the nuclear fusion power engine to space."

As the voice sounded, under the operation of the staff, the space elevator was decisively started.

At the same time, in the live broadcast room, the audience's perspective is also following the rapid ascent of the space elevator. It will not take long to reach the near-Earth space port. At that time, the overall picture of the Shenzhou will also be exposed for the first time.

Excited, they sent comments one after another to express their feelings.

If it hadn't been for the despair and death that enveloped the world just last week, no one would have thought that human civilization would only have a few years left.

But this also proves from the side that everyone's fear of the coming of Pluto is disappearing.

This is a good transition.

This shows that Xu Lei’s choice to use the heavy cruiser to build public confidence is indeed a good way.

"Wuhu takes off!"

"I'm so excited, I can finally see the whole picture of the Shenzhou."

"With six nuclear fusion power engines, it is indeed an interstellar battleship that can sail freely in the galaxy."

“I don’t know if there will be a test launch of the rail gun, I look forward to it.”

"My God, only future technology can be so powerful."

“It’s really hard to imagine that future technology can achieve this level, it has simply reached a new level of civilization.

"Seeing those partial photos of the Shenzhou in the past few days has whetted my appetite. I hope I can enjoy it today."

"It can reach one thousandth of the speed of light, and it only takes two days to reach Mars."

…

As for the comments from global audiences in the live broadcast room, Xu Lei and the others definitely didn't have time to read them. Their attention was always on the ladder.

According to the speed of the space elevator, it will take about two hours to reach the near-Earth space port.

But no one slacked off in the process.

The six nuclear fusion power engines in the elevator are related to whether the Shenzhou can be successfully launched.

If there is a problem during transportation, today's plan will be in vain, and it will be impossible to manufacture six additional nuclear fusion power engines in a short period of time.

The key point is that if the Shenzhou fails, it will undoubtedly bring another major blow to the public's already desperate heart.

If you want to restore the situation by that time, you will inevitably have to pay a higher price.

Therefore, there must be no surprises in the entire process.

For this reason, Xu Lei also gave instructions to Xingtong, asking her to monitor the operation of all equipment at all times and resolve any problems in a timely manner.

But be cautious, and no one is talking idle during this period.

First, Wu Chuping, who couldn't hold himself any longer, took the initiative to stir up the topic.

He walked up to Xu Lei and asked with confusion on his face: "Dean Xu, if you really want to take the Shenzhou to Mars to perform a mission, in my opinion, you should leave it to professional astronauts."

It's not that Wu Chuping doesn't believe in Xu Lei's ability. The main thing is that space is a very dangerous place after all, especially if you have to go to Mars. If something happens in the middle, it will definitely be the biggest loss to mankind.

It is no exaggeration to say that based on these recent events, Xu Lei has become the backbone of everyone.

With Xu Lei here, no matter what kind of crisis mankind encounters, there will always be a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts, and it always feels like Xu Lei can lead everyone to successfully resolve the disaster.

But if Xu Lei is gone, it will be like a high-rise building without load-bearing walls.

The building will collapse.

From the current point of view, it is undoubtedly safest for Xu Lei to stay on Earth.

But since it was Xu Lei's decision, he absolutely couldn't give up because of Wu Chuping's words, not to mention that today he had to set an example in front of all mankind.

Of course, he is not a show of courage.

The Hammer Cruiser is not an experimental product designed for the first time. As the technological crystallization of the second-level civilization, its technology is very mature.

It truly has the ability to sail freely in space.

Even if you encounter special troubles in the galaxy, you can escape safely with the power of your primary and secondary weapons.

In any case, the crisis that mankind encountered this time came from Pluto and had nothing to do with extraterrestrial civilization.

Of course there is nothing to be afraid of.

As for the Shenzhou mission to Mars this time, it is to improve the Mars galaxy monitoring station and put it into use as soon as possible to better observe the situation of Pluto.

According to the Shenzhou's flying speed, the round trip only takes a few days.

In addition, this time Xu Lei will bring Xingtong's mechanical body aboard the Shenzhou, which can be said to be foolproof.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Lei slowly raised his lips with a smile, turned his head and looked at Wu Chuping and said: "In order to gather public confidence, I must personally carry out the mission of the Shenzhou this time. Wu commands you

We don’t want to see our plan fail, right?”

"Alas~"

Finally Wu Chuping sighed.

Faced with Xu Lei's remarks, he really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

But then he changed his approach and said resolutely: "If Dean Xu insists on going, although I have nothing to say, you just have to take me with him."

A man is a boy until he dies.

What's more, Wu Chuping has devoted most of his life to the aerospace industry.

Now that we have the opportunity to set foot in space, it is inevitable that we will have thoughts.

Although the Hammer Cruiser has a gravity system that allows the crew inside to walk normally on flat ground, the environment there is after all much more complex than on Earth. It is not suitable for older people due to their reduced body functions.

space flight.

In fact, when he was preparing to come to Dengtian Island, Pei Hongyin thought he was dissatisfied with Lao Ye's request, but Xu Lei persuaded him to stop.

In the end, I didn’t even come to the Sky Island.

Join the action by choosing to watch live from home.
