"It''s smoother than expected, but is there really no problem in terms of load? The module body alone is 104 tons. If materials are added, can the carrying capacity of the rocket really work?" some people are still worried.

    Du Xingyu said: "absolutely. Besides, we also have aerospace aircraft to transport materials and personnel. This life space module is very good!"

    The international space station, which is mainly made by the United States, can only accommodate six astronauts at a time and live for about half a year.

    Moreover, their "bedroom" is very narrow, like a pile of trucks full of goods and forced into several people.

    The life space module has multiple interfaces. When it is formed into a space station, multiple modules can be connected.

    After completing the first, the second space module of the team is also stepping up the transformation.

    "The second is the power space module, and solar panels will be the main source of energy." Du Xingyu simulated the power space module on the science and technology simulator.

    There are many ways to design power space modules. If it is nuclear power, the energy will be much stronger. However, considering the safety, technical limitations and inconvenient maintenance in space, it is best to design solar energy at present.

    Anyway, Tiangong will be a multi module, truss structure and building block hybrid structure. In the future, more advanced power modules can also be added to it.

    "Invest 100000 energy points to start the design of power space module..."

    "R & D failed."

    "Invest another 100000 energy points for the second attempt..." Du Xingyu wants to design a nuclear fission energy system directly for the power space once and for all. Its principle is similar to that of the fission reactor in the previous nuclear powered rocket thruster.

    "Simulation in progress... Structure simulation completed, particle reaction simulation completed..."

    "Crisis simulation, solar storm."

    In the science and technology simulator, the solar activity intensifies, resulting in a strong solar storm. Electromagnetic radiation, high-energy charged particles and plasma cloud spray reach extraterrestrial space.

    Without the protection of the atmosphere, the power space module is directly exposed to solar storms and severely affected.

    Science and technology simulator: "warning, serious electromagnetic interference, launch failure of protection system... Nuclear leakage... The simulated astronaut has died, 70% of the damage level assessment, and the simulation failed."

    "Failed again?" Du Xingyu was a little depressed. The design of the space station was different from that of the space plane. The space station moves slowly and cannot be as far away from particle interference as an aerospace plane.

    It needs to be exposed to space for many years and face all kinds of space radiation. In this way, it can''t use nuclear energy for the time being.

    "Let''s use solar energy and chemical energy for the time being!" Du Xingyu picked up his confidence and started the simulation again.

    "This time, we use super folded solar panels to maximize the wingspan and increase the available solar energy..."

    "Structural simulation completed, operation simulation completed, energy collection... Power system simulation started..."

    "Crisis simulation begins... Space junk collision simulation is under way..."

    In Du Xingyu''s mind, the power space is encountering the collision of solar garbage, but just before the impact of space garbage, a mechanical arm appeared in the power space and caught the small space garbage in advance.

    For the design here, he also borrowed the idea of the space garbage capture device of Wang Wei and others.

    "Space junk has been captured... Powertrain failure simulation begins..."

    "The simulation of power space module is completed, and the R & D progress is 100%." after repeated attempts, Du Xingyu completed the simulation of another module.

    "It''s done in one breath!" Du Xingyu didn''t stop and continued to develop the next module, workspace module, which will be the daily work place of astronauts. Many observation and scientific research equipment need to be installed here, which is no simpler than other modules!

    For three days, Du Xingyu modified the power space module and workspace module to be launched.

    Life space module, power space module and work space module are the three modules launched by Tiangong space station for the first time.

    These three modules can be launched to meet the basic space life and work needs of astronauts.

    Subsequent scientific research space modules and medical space modules are waiting for subsequent manufacturing and launch docking.

    The transformation of power space module and workspace module is in rapid progress. During this period, another thing happened in the international aerospace industry for Huaxia aerospace.

    The International Astronautical Congress was held in the United States. The American aerospace community, as the host, discussed aerospace cooperation with countries around the world.

    As a major Aerospace country, Huaxia is naturally invited, and should be an important member of the conference.

    But just as the Chinese aerospace experts were preparing to go to the United States, the United States rejected the visa application of the Chinese aerospace expert delegation!

    If the visa is not passed, the Chinese aerospace delegation will not be able to go to the United States and will not be able to participate in the world aerospace congress!

    "Shameless, shameless!" he Jingcheng, the leader of the Chinese aerospace delegation, was furious.

    During this period, Huaxia aerospace has made great achievements and is going to communicate with its peers in the world to see if it can carry out more cooperation. I didn''t expect that at this critical time, the Americans actually card their visa!

    "The most irritating thing is that they reported that we deliberately missed the meeting!" a member of the delegation angrily said, "it''s shameless!"

    "Well, I can''t participate in the world aerospace Congress after so long preparation!"

    "Can you communicate with them? We will complete the formalities and apply for a visa for us."

    "Communication? If you want to add sin, why not? They are now determined not to let us participate in the world aerospace congress!" he Jingcheng said with a sigh, "there is no way. This matter is beyond our ability."

    "His grandmother''s!" the civilized old professor couldn''t help shouting, "this is a conference. If you don''t go, you won''t go! In the future, we''ll hold the International Astronautical conference ourselves, don''t look at Lao Mi''s face!"

    "What now?" someone asked.

    "What else can we do? Go home! Go back to the research institute!" he Jingcheng said helplessly.

    The world Astronautical Congress will begin in five days, but they should not go.

    ……

    "At the world Astronautical Congress, the Americans deliberately didn''t issue visas to our delegation?" Du Xingyu was very angry at the news.

    "Now the development of space technology is not the last thing the American people has the final say, they are planning to unite with all countries to block us!"

    "It''s this move again. Don''t they have any new tricks?" Xiong Ming drank tea calmly. He has experienced this kind of thing many times.

    "Martial uncle!" Du Xingyu said to Xiong Ming, "the three modules of Tiangong have been transformed and tested. It''s better to launch in advance!"

    "Early launch?" Xiong Mingsi cableway, "it was originally scheduled to launch in 20 days... If it is early, the preparation time is a little short."

    "Enough!" said Du Xingyu. "There is no problem with the space station itself. On the rocket and spacecraft side, XingKong II and Xingzhou can perform tasks repeatedly. At present, the maintenance has been completed and can be launched at any time."

    "There are no launch missions recently. We just need to follow the routine process of launching satellites! XingKong 2 and Xingzhou are enough to send three space modules to heaven!"

    "You want to launch in time for the International Astronautical Congress?" Xiong Ming guessed his mind.
