【Chapter 571: Convergence】

...

Nine Chinese and American crew members entered the port one by one, and led by internal crew members, everyone headed towards the centrifugal cabin of Xinggang.

"This space station is so big!" Aislin couldn't help but exclaimed again.

Other American astronauts also share the same feeling. It is not the first time they have entered the space station. Two astronauts of the qualification level have even worked on the International Space Station and later on the "Tianzhou". The huge international space station has already amazed him, but here in the "Tiangong Ringling Star Port", the International Space Station is nothing but a big witch and is not at the same level at all.

Ten minutes later, everyone turned a few turns and went from the cargo compartment supply compartment to the cargo compartment to the cargo compartment, and finally entered the core compartment No. 1. It was another fork. It was the first time I entered another national space station, and it was a space station with a corporate property. A group of Americans were extremely curious. When they arrived at this fork, they could see multiple forks such as the core compartment No. 2, the supply compartment, experimental compartment, energy compartment, etc., especially the energy compartment, which was posted with a striking slogan "No authorization allowed to pass".

Several Americans were curious about what was inside the energy cabin, but they soon thought of the world-shocking news disclosed not long ago. I am afraid that the area where the energy cabin is located should be the place where energy is provided for the entire ring-orbit Star Port, and it might be the controllable nuclear fusion energy reactor generation area.

A long team of six Americans and five Chinese people "float" in the gravityless Star Harbor. Under the leadership of Chinese astronauts, everyone finally arrived at the core cabin II. Entering the huge centrifugal cabin, it could only pass through the core cabin II. The leading astronaut looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Friends, a sumptuous lunch is waiting for us below, Chinese food, and your compatriots."

After saying that, he turned around 18o degrees in the weightless air, with his legs facing the channel entrance below, and gently pushed his hands to push his whole person directly above the channel entrance, entering the range of the centrifugal force field. The whole person was pulled towards the channel entrance by a force. Others followed suit when they saw this. The second was Jing Tian, ​​the third was Acelin, and the rest of them also entered the channel entrance.

After leaving the earth, everyone felt the existence of gravity here.

Nine new members and two Star Harbor receptionists entered the centrifugal cabin one after another. Everyone finally did not have to hang in the air like they were in a weightless environment, but stood on the floor, with gravity no different from the earth.

"It's so big!" Acelin said in amazement, looking around curiously, and deeply felt the luxury of the owner of this space station. You must know that in outer space, every cubic meter of space is precious and requires the full use of everything. It is not an exaggeration to burn money to space activities. In the eyes of these Americans, a sub-hall is so big, which is simply too luxurious.

Several veterans who have been to the International Space Station have a deep understanding of the qualifications, but they prefer it. Obviously, working in the "Tiangong Ring and Star Port" is absolutely comfortable. When others are stingy about how to better utilize resources, they have long begun to consider human-computer relationships and comfortable environments.

The gap...

A group of astronauts took off their space suits here. After a while, under the leadership of Chinese astronauts, everyone in casual clothes came to the main hall. Another novel scene was the largest independent space in the entire ring-orbit Star Harbor centrifugal cabin.

At this moment, more than a dozen people are gathering together. Everyone who came here for the first time felt novel. Due to the arc of the centrifugal chamber, the layout of the section looking toward the other end will visually produce a "u" tilt, as if the seats and facilities at the other end will slide down the slope to the bottom of the arc, but this is not the case. All facilities seem to be fixed in place.

"Welcome our new members!" When the people inside the main hall saw 11 people coming, they immediately laughed loudly. With their arrival, more than 20 members immediately gathered in the main hall, but they still did not seem crowded.

Several vacant dining tables were already filled with hearty lunches.

Ning Zebo, who had already landed on Xinggang, looked at the American astronauts with a smile and said, "According to the time on Earth and the United States, it should be dinner at this moment, but the space station has its own time scale. According to Xinggang time, it is 11 o'clock now, lunch time. I hope you like Chinese food."

"Oh no, I've heard about the reputation of Chinese food for a long time, it's this!" The American astronaut gave a thumbs up and smiled.

A luxurious lunch enjoyment officially began. Here, all the astronauts, researchers and members of the armed tactical squads who were going to Mars were listed. The 12 American faces and 17 middle-aged faces had a very harmonious atmosphere. Many Americans gave thumbs up and said that Chinese food was well-known.

After lunch, the group of people who were about to go to Mars rested on Xinggang for a long time. Ning Zebo, Liu Pingdong and Xiaozhuang, three members of the "Mars Express" who were driving the "Mars Express", returned to the spacecraft in advance. The rest of the members who were going to Mars also started preparing and leaving Xinggang in three hours.

Two hours ago, a batch of special cargo weighing 27 tons delivered by "Arc Eagle VII" was officially delivered to Xinggang Port, and the cargo compartment was also delivered to the "Mars Express" half an hour ago to complete docking and fixed on the truss pair interface. This batch of cargo is the equipment provided to two armed teams of China and the United States. They will undertake the defense tasks of the outpost bases of both sides in the future. This batch of special transformation and production equipment was built and produced by three months for the special harsh environment of Mars.

One and a half hours later, members of China and the United States who were going to Mars on missions to Mars boarded the core module on the Mars Express and moved to the area where the core module was located.

Two hours later, Ning Zebo's announcement came from the cab more than 2 meter away from the core cabin, and the crew members watched the official separation of the "Mars Express" and the "Tiangong Ringling Star Port".

The Americans were still very surprised that this huge artificial celestial body called the Mars Express actually assumed the role of the locomotive. Not to mention the tonnage, its actual volume and length are almost the same as that of a class aircraft carrier. Its main function is to provide capacity.

"Mars Express" looks so slender, giving people a feeling of being very fragile, with an illusion of being strong on the outside but doing it at the same time, but that's not the case.

After another hour and 50 minutes, when the "Tiangong Ringling Star Port" disappeared from everyone's sight, a brand new artificial celestial body was constantly approaching the "Mars Express".
