While everyone was chatting, suddenly a voice came from the stereo.
"Attention all units, the inflation experiment of the 'Oasis-1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module' is about to begin."
Hearing this voice, Wu Hao and the others immediately ended their chat, and then turned to look at the huge high-definition screen in the small conference room.
At this moment, the screen is divided into several parts. The middle one shows the entire command and control hall, and the surrounding areas of the screen are divided into several small windows, each with one picture.
There are relevant data displayed and relevant surveillance videos.
For example, one of the surveillance video screens is facing the earth at the moment, and you can see the blue earth full of clouds. There is also a surveillance screen, which is aimed at the entire space experiment module. In addition to being able to see the appearance of the outer cabin, you can also see the sun's rays on the distant horizon.
Five minutes to prepare!
As the announcement sounded, these small windows began to gradually display monitoring images from various positions and angles on the 'Oasis 1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module'.
Isn't it just an experiment? Why are you all so nervous? Zhang Jun couldn't help but complain. Although he was complaining about others, he was actually more nervous than others, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Are you not nervous? After all, this is our first self-developed spacecraft, and it is related to several of our subsequent projects. How can we not be nervous? Yang Fan was angry.
It's useless to be nervous. Now we can only wait and see what happens, and nothing can be done to help. Zou Xiaodong smiled, and then asked Wu Hao: "Is the entire process of the inflating of the Oasis No. 1 inflatable space experiment module tonight live broadcast to the outside world?"
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Only in this way can we be more transparent, show our confidence, and demonstrate the reliability of our technology to the outside world.
Otherwise, it is easy to be questioned, especially from overseas. You also know that there are a group of people who like to catch something they think they have in order to confuse us.
So, we can't give them this chance. "
But what if something unexpected happens? Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but ask.
Hehehehe, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Scientific experiments can guarantee success without any accidents. Accidents are normal. What matters is our attitude towards these problems.
Besides, I have confidence in our spacecraft and our technical personnel. "
I think it's better not to have too much hope. If it's really reliable, it won't be postponed until tonight. Be prepared for failure. Zou Xiaodong sighed.
His words aroused Zhang Jun's dissatisfaction, and he immediately scolded: "It hasn't started yet, what are you talking about? You have to have confidence in our technology and our scientific researchers. I believe in this 'Oasis' The Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module No. 1 will definitely succeed."
One minute to prepare.
Hearing the sound from the speaker, Wu Hao immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, just wait and see what happens. Whether it succeeds or not depends on what happens next."
After hearing his voice, everyone immediately fell silent and then focused on looking at the big screen.
Thirty seconds, twenty seconds, ten seconds... five, four, three, two, one, the expansion and inflation experiment of the 'Oasis 1 inflatable space experiment module' begins now.
The expansion and contraction of the spacecraft cabin begins!
With a sound of subzero, the large screen in the center of the screen switched to the extravehicular surveillance screen of the Oasis-1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module. Through the cameras arranged outside the cabin, everyone can clearly see that the The folded and shrunk polymer composite soft-shell capsule began to gradually extend in length.
This is like the telescopic drain pipe on the washing machine at home. By stretching, the folded polymer composite soft-shell cabin begins to gradually lengthen and stretch.
However, due to the vacuum, the entire stretching process is very slow. During the stretching process of the soft-shell cabin, the air storage device in the rear service cabin will continuously inflate and pressurize the soft-shell cabin.
The entire polymer composite soft-shell cabin will also continue to stretch and expand, and will continue to expand and grow.
The entire process will last two to three hours and is very slow.
However, judging from the current situation, everything was normal, and then there was a burst of warm applause in the command and control hall.
The people watching in the small conference room also started to malfunction.
OK, a good start is half the battle. I have confidence in our spacecraft. Zhang Jun high-fived and said excitedly.
This process is too slow. Can't it be faster? I'm so impatient. Zou Xiaodong said anxiously.
Haha, Yang Fan on the side smiled and explained: "Because this is the first inflatable experiment, the scientific research team was more cautious and chose this safer method to conduct it.
This is just like our lunar rover and Mars rover on the moon and Mars. They also move very slowly on the moon and Mars. It is not like we imagined that they can race on the moon and Mars. It is not like this.
This is not because scientists are unwilling to speed up, but to be on the safe side and to avoid accidents.
Judging from the information disclosed so far, our Yuetu-1 lunar rover malfunctioned and stopped because it was traveling too fast and was tripped by rocks on the moon and severed the relevant cables on the vehicle.
This is in space, not on the ground. If there is a problem on the ground, we can also send people to repair it. But in space, it is difficult for us to send people to repair it.
Even if you can go, the cost of repairs is very high.
Therefore, before the technology has been successfully verified, the scientific research team will choose such a more secure and relaxed approach.
Look at the command and control hall, these technical experts are closely monitoring the data changes of the 'Oasis 1 Expandable Inflatable Space Experiment Module' during the inflation process. Once any problem occurs, they will solve it promptly or even stop the entire experiment. "
Then we just sit here? Zou Xiaodong looked at the crowd and said.
Hehehe, everyone smiled at each other, Wu Hao then waved his hand and said: "Yes, it's not a problem to just sit like this. Let's have someone bring us some food, and we can eat, drink, and watch. While chatting.
I remember it seems like we haven’t gotten together like this for a long time, so today is just the opportunity to take advantage of it. "
This is good, I will let someone do it now. Zhang Jun's eyes lit up and he immediately cheered.
I want to eat barbecue. Give me some more chicken wings and a few bottles of beer. Zou Xiaodong immediately said happily.
