In low-Earth orbit in space, about 356 kilometers above the ground, a huge man-made object is being constructed.
This man-made object has a diameter of 112 meters and a length of 453 meters.
The entire shape is like a stretched giant mushroom.
"George, please answer if you hear me."
There are some spacecraft floating around this "space mushroom".
These spacecrafts look similar to small space stations on the surface.
There are pipes extending out from below them and connected to the "space mushroom" not far away.
From a distance, it looks like the slender limbs extending outward from the "space mushroom".
"This is George, this is George."
A clear voice came back from the communicator.
Doolittle and his assistant manipulated the console, staring at the screen in front of them: "How about you, please report the situation over there."
"Everything is fine, please rest assured."
George's voice came from the communicator.
"Please conduct the final internal inspection, report the results after the inspection is completed, and wait for the closing command."
"Understood, conducting final internal tests and waiting for closing instructions."
George replied.
After ending the call, Doolittle typed on the keyboard for a while, then pressed down on the chair.
His whole body floated in a weightless state.
He pushed hard on the bulkhead with his feet, and he "spurred" easily under the reaction force.
The rear of the cabin.
Today is the critical moment for the final part of the Hades spacecraft to come together.
Around the "space mushroom", which is the newly named Hades spacecraft, those floating and connected spacecraft are actually responsible for the construction work. of command centers and facility attachments.
Their main functions are similar to scaffolding, cranes and other facilities used in ordinary house construction.
Of course, building such a spacecraft in space is different from that on the ground.
These facility accessories not only have to undertake construction work, but are also necessary places for construction workers to rest.
In addition to In addition, its own power must be used to raise the orbital height of the entire spacecraft before construction is completed.
In low Earth orbit in space.
Due to the influence of the earth's attraction and the atmospheric drag of orbiting, space vehicles, including satellites, space stations, etc., will have their orbits continuously lowered.
Therefore, in order to prevent crashes caused by the orbital height being too low, the orbital height must be raised frequently.
To ensure that it does not run off the track.
From the early stages of spacecraft construction, the United States has built these spacecrafts to solve this problem.
At the same time, they can also be used as auxiliary facilities for the construction and construction of spacecrafts.
From the current point of view, the effect of this plan is very good.
After more than three years, the main structure of the entire Hades spacecraft has been basically completed.
After the last part is put together today, it will mark the beginning of the Hades universe.
The construction of the spacecraft has come to an end.
Doolittle came to the back of the cabin and could clearly see the space outside through the round window.
More than 500 meters away from him.
An irregular structure of about 60 cubic meters is firmly grasped by four huge manipulators, and below the structure is the tail of the Hades spacecraft.
There is a black hole on the surface of the completed 99 body.
And this hole is where the structure is embedded.
As long as the structure is placed in the corresponding position according to the program, and then the astronauts who have entered the Hades spacecraft and the operators outside work together to close the structure and the main body, then This marks the completion of the structural part.
Doolittle was the engineering director and one of the external operators performing the closure.
He knows it very well.
There must be no room for error in a job like this, even if there is a slight mistake.

Failure to close will not only damage the structure of the spacecraft, but also cause delays in the entire plan.
"Hull, how are you doing over there?"
Doolittle asked through the communicator to the control room on the other side.
This time it is crucial to control the external operators.
The four huge manipulators will be controlled by the external operators of the two control rooms.
Proceed simultaneously.
Another outside operator who shares this important job with Doolittle is his colleague and friend Hull.
"What else can I do?
I've been waiting for a long time.
Can you hurry up?"
A lazy voice came from the communicator.
If you just listened to the voice, you might think that the other party was an unreliable person.
But as a Friend of Hull.
Doolittle knew that Hull's skills were by no means inferior to his.
If it weren't for his withdrawn personality and bad temper, he might have been promoted long ago.
"Be serious Hull, I don't want to see failure."
Frowning slightly, Doolittle warned sternly.
You must know that every conversation they have has will be recorded.
If the combination fails, Hull's tone and attitude alone are enough to make him drink.
As a supervisor, Doolittle is well aware of the styles of the big shots above.
Success He is always more eager to take credit than anyone else.
When something goes wrong, the first thing he thinks of is how to shirk responsibility.
Doolittle doesn't want to be caught out by Hull's casual attitude.
"OK" Hull's voice was a little more serious: "Everything is ready, waiting for instructions."
Doolittle felt awkward when these serious words came out of Hale's mouth.
He could imagine the look on Hale's face when he said these words, which must have been a look of disdain.
But no matter what, at least there will be no problem with these words on the record.
Thinking of this, Doolittle replied with a word of understanding and asked Hull to continue waiting for instructions.
Then he pushed the bulkhead hard, and the whole person rushed back to control like an arrow.
Over there.
Returning to the console and sitting down, the assistant next to him told him that George inside the Hades spacecraft had just sent a message, and that all preparations inside the spacecraft were in place.
The final inspection had just been completed and was waiting for the final closing. instruction.
"All groups, please pay attention.
All groups, please pay attention."
Doolittle opened all communications and began to issue orders as a commander: "The closing will officially begin in three minutes, and the countdown is now."
From a low-Earth orbit 356 kilometers above the ground, looking down from space, the huge Earth is so clearly visible, with blue oceans, green forests, yellow plains, white mountains, ribbon-shaped rivers and other things.
A faintly shining city.
But people on the earth don't know that above their heads, in space, a huge spaceship is being built at this time.
The three-minute countdown passed quickly.
As Doolittle's closing command officially began, the four huge mechanical hands began to move slowly, and the entire structure began to change positions from stationary.
"Hell, keep in sync."
"Understood, keep in sync."
As old friends for many years, the tacit understanding between Doolittle and Hull is unmatched by anyone, which is why Doolittle went against all odds and designated Hull as the second external operator to assist him.
Under the tacit control of the two of them, the huge mechanical hand was like a person's dexterous hands, playing with the structure suspended in space, slowly but surely moving towards the final closing part of the Hades spacecraft.
"100 meters, 90 meters, 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters."

When the distance finally approaches 30 meters, the manipulator begins to slow down and make fine adjustments to ensure the position is accurate.
"George please pay attention to internal guidance" "Received, internal boot begins."
Inside the Hades spacecraft, George and several prepared astronauts were ready.
As the closed part of the structure approached, they started the internal guidance program to ensure accuracy and safety. "30 meters 29 meters 28 meters 27 meters."
The speed of the manipulator began to slow down again, and the most critical moment was coming.
The huge structure was like a jigsaw puzzle played by children, accurately inserted into the reserved part.
But it is different from toys.
For toys, if the insertion fails, it can be tried again.
But if the structural closure fails this time, the entire structure will be damaged in the collision, and even affect the already formed main part. , thus causing delays in the entire plan. "8 meters 7 meters 6 meters 5 meters."
It is getting closer and closer, and now from a distance with the naked eye, the entire structure has almost closed with the main body, but Doolittle and Hull, who are controlling it, both know that the real success or failure is right in front of them.
"Doolittle, 011 degrees to the left" Just when it was finally close to 1 meter, Hull suddenly shouted in the communicator.
Doolittle didn't think much after hearing this.
Out of trust in his friend, his hands reacted instantly and closed the structure.
At the last moment, the maneuver of 011 degrees to the left was completed.
"Sir."
The assistant did not expect this to happen at the last moment.
He who had been watching the guidance and monitoring was shocked.
When he was about to stop him, Doolittle had already completed the operation.
At this moment, the structure had reached the position, and the manipulator Correspondingly, it began to loosen, and at the moment of loosening, the structure When the manipulator was released, it actually shifted to the right at a very small angle due to the reaction.
It was precisely because of the subtle manipulation of 011 degrees to the left by Doolittle and Hull that it was corrected at the same time.
Under the stunned assistant, the entire structure changed to the right.
After entering the position with the most perfect posture, there was a slight vibration, and the most critical step of closing was completed. s: Here comes the second update.
The difference between 120 words and 3000 words is short.
To keep the flow, I won’t add the words.
