Chapter 552 Pushing Preparations
Ye Zhou went to push the main engine control compartment. The screen displayed the pre-start status of all the engines. After checking them one by one, he pressed the unlock button of the working fluid compartment.
The command has been transmitted to the central command system, and after the captain’s confirmation, the working medium cabin will inject the stored working medium water into the exhaust manifold, which will be sprayed out after being heated by superheated plasma, providing a large amount of thrust.
Everything is ready, the big screen on the left shows the real-time picture of the cockpit of the spacecraft, and Ye Zhou's ears hear continuous instructions.
"Carme has been visually inspected, the orbit calculation is completed, the optimal entry path calculation is completed, and the accompanying flight orbit has begun."
"Washington and Dante are ready, and Dangyang, Changping and Humen are entering the accompanying flight orbit."
"Received the coordination order from the Humen, the entry path has changed, and it is being adjusted in real time."
"After the adjustment, start to slow down, lower the orbit, and the orbit will drop by 4 kilometers."
"The descent is complete. Pay attention to the position of Jupiter 42 Terksinoe outside the Carme constellation. It is only 6 kilometers away from us now, and there is a risk of collision."
"Understood, the avoidance trajectory calculation has been carried out."
Ye Zhou switched to the external scene of the spacecraft. At this time, the Weiqing has merged into the retrograde orbit of the Carme constellation, but it is still wandering around the periphery of the constellation. Adjust yourself to be on the same plane as Carme, that is, Jupiter XI.
On the left side of the spacecraft's forward direction, the three Huaxia spacecraft Dangyang, Changping, and Humen are also adjusting their accompanying flight orbits, while the Washington and Dante belonging to Ugly and Europe have completed all operations. The rear is responsible for the track early warning mission.
According to the plan, they will not participate in this promotion operation, but as an alternative, they will supplement when the four Huaxia spaceships have an accident.
This requires them to remain in a vigilant position at all times. Objectively speaking, compared with the four Chinese spaceships, the risks they face in the initial stage of promotion are much higher, because they need to conduct uninterrupted short-range maneuvers to avoid All satellites of the Carme constellation.
But at the same time, they don't need to approach Io directly, there is no risk of falling into Io, and they don't need to enter Jupiter's low-Earth orbit, and the probability of a smooth evacuation is much higher.
In fact, in the initial stage of planning, the representatives of the three parties had many discussions on the division of labor, and the final plan also fully considered the opinions of all countries and even astronauts. Plans expressed strong dissatisfaction.
They don't care what the Chinese are going to face, they only know that their heroic astronauts will be in danger.
But fortunately, most of the people who can go into space are the best and most loyal people among human beings. After throwing away the shackles between countries, even Westerners can be trusted partners .
"The calculation of Terksinuo's orbital movement law has been completed, Weiqing, and the data has been transmitted to the central processing unit. This is Washington, and we are behind you."
Ye Zhou turned his head subconsciously, and the screen displayed on the screen immediately turned to the wall behind him. There, Ye Zhou saw a small bright spot, in the light blue flash, Washington, which was two thousand kilometers away from the Wei Qing. sent them the latest heartbeat.
"Weiqing received it and began to accompany it according to the scheduled orbit."
"The Zheng He has completed the slingshot flight and arrived at the scheduled assembly point in 4 hours."
"Understood, the location of Zheng He has been obtained, and the data has been transmitted."
"According to the current rotation of Io, Zheng He needs to correct its course by two degrees. Please use the Tvasta Volcanic Group as the course coordinates to adjust."
"Received, the heading coordinates, the North Pole of Io, the Tvasta volcano group, the coordinates have been obtained."
After a series of orbit changing operations, the six spaceships finally entered their respective positions. From Ye Zhou's perspective, all the spaceships appeared to be in a relatively static state—or, even Carme XI in the distance , also began to stop.
But on the contrary, in the orbit around the spacecraft, countless satellites and small dust clouds are flashing at an extremely fast speed. At certain angles, they occasionally reflect sunlight from a distance, just like It seems to appear suddenly and disappear again.
This scene was so beautiful that Ye Zhou couldn't help but think of the fireflies in the summer night, and even had the illusion of cicadas singing in his ears.
But soon, he realized how terrible those "fireflies" were.
Because one of the fireflies is gradually becoming larger in the vision of the spacecraft until it fills the entire porthole.
That is Jupiter 24 of the Yananke constellation. Its diameter is only 5 kilometers, but when it passes by at a distance of 20 kilometers, the instantaneous impact is as if it is 10 centimeters away from a high-speed train. Passed by in the distance.
Ye Zhou looked towards the direction where Jupiter 24 disappeared with lingering fear, and a report to complete the engine inspection jumped out on the screen. All the data was normal, the divertor was in good condition, and the first wall temperature and radiation loss were so low that they could be ignored.
Everything he could do, at this moment, had already been done.
"Push the engine detection to completion, and it is ready to ignite at any time."
The so-called "ignition" is actually not a strict wording. It refers to making the thrust engine enter a saturated working state and begin to output thrust to the spacecraft.
"Received, the preparation for ignition is complete, and the working fluid compartment has been unlocked."
"The unlocking signal of the working fluid cabin has been received. Zheng He, please start your thrust engines and prepare to enter Callisto's low-Earth orbit."
Ye Zhou issued an order to the Zheng He, and after a while, accompanied by a short reply, he saw the ignition of the Zheng He's thrust engine on the display.
The working fluid pours into the fusion engine header, and under the heating of the plasma, the liquid instantly vaporizes and expands, and then is ejected from the tail of the engine.
The bright blue flame illuminated the night sky of the boundless universe. In just 1 minute, the acceleration generated by the Zheng He reached 30G. Under such an acceleration that lasted for more than 5 minutes, no human body could maintain its original state. Some structures are not damaged.
But Zheng He doesn't have to worry about this problem, because there are no living people on that spaceship.
In other words, there is no living person in any carbon-based form.
All the crew members who entered the Zheng He have undergone all-round transformation. Their bodies have been replaced by mechanical structures, and their brains are protected in specially designed metal skulls. This protection is enough for them to withstand close to 50G in extreme conditions. overload.
"The acceleration has been completed and is expected to pass the North Pole in two hours and 40 minutes."
"The channel enrichment status is normal, they're right on our tail."
"The power of the beacon device has reached the maximum, and the adjacent dimensional channel is currently open and the energy dissipation rate is normal."
"It's time to pour back."
Zheng He's reply message was transmitted to all six spacecraft on standby. After a brief pause, the navigator of Wei Qing switched the communication channel to the global sharing mode.
From this moment on, he was officially promoted from the captain of the Wei Qing to the commander-in-chief of the entire fleet.
All seven spaceships must obey his orders.
Ye Zhou stared nervously at the screen, which showed the navigator's stern profile.
After a while, he heard the navigator's voice in his ear:
"start to act!"
