Chapter 33 – “Encounters” in space

At noon the next day, the Crew Dragon spacecraft has been flying in space for 18 and a half hours, and its orbit is very close to the International Space Station.

At this time, it was more than ten o’clock in the evening in China, and the live broadcast of the Crew Dragon spacecraft was still going on, with hundreds of thousands of people watching the live broadcast.

“President Musk, the satellite monitors that other spacecraft are flying in low-Earth orbit, and they will meet us near the International Space Station!” The monitoring staff reported.

In fact, they have already detected China’s spacecraft. But they didn’t care. It was not the first time that China launched a spacecraft to conduct a space test. Although it was a bit larger this time, there was no announcement in China. It is probably an unmanned spacecraft!

“Will there be a problem?” Musk hasn’t slept since yesterday afternoon, just waiting for the moment when the Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station!

“No.” The monitor said, “Their flight path is staggered from ours, and there is no danger of collision.”

“That’s good, but when did China build such a spacecraft?” Musk looked at the monitoring screen and satellite monitoring, and didn’t know if there was anyone inside. Anyway, they defaulted to an unmanned spacecraft.

In the manned dragon spacecraft, American astronauts Bob Benken and Doug Hurley are contacting the International Space Station.

The International Space Station is the largest space platform operating in low-Earth orbit and can conduct various space experiments and research. It was jointly developed by the U.S. National Space Agency, the Russian National Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Islands Aerospace Research Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, and was put into use in 2010.

At one time, China also wanted to join the R&D of the International Space Station, but unfortunately it was excluded by these countries. This has also become a heart disease of China Aerospace personnel!

“The docking preparation is ready!” said Blake, a US astronaut from the US Space Station in the National Space Station: “Welcome to you. You will be the 150th and 151st US astronauts to board the International Space Station!”

China has only two astronauts entering space, but in the United States, more than a hundred have been in space!

“How does it feel to fly?” Black asked.

“It’s pretty good.” Doug Hurley smiled. “Although the Crew Dragon spacecraft is a bit cramped, the flight process is very stable. Now my family is happy, and I am also a person in space!”

“Calm down, this will be the norm in the future!” Black smiled. “I heard people from the space agency say that now the White House has decided to restart the space race. From now on, space will be our second home.”

“Of course, only for us Americans!”

His tone is very arrogant. At present, only the United States can easily send astronauts into space. Not only the US Space Agency, but also private companies can do it!

“Okay, let’s get ready to dock! I have seen the space station!” Bob Benken began to operate the spacecraft, preparing to fight the International Space Station.

“Come on!” Black was also operating the meter.

At this moment, a message was sent to them, requesting video contact with them.

“Xingzhou? That China’s unmanned spacecraft?” Bob Benken and Black connected to the video call.

They thought it was people from the China Ground Command Center who were in video contact with them, but the scene in the video screen shocked the chins of several U.S. astronauts!

In the video, two yellow-skinned Chinese astronauts are sitting in the Xingzhou spacecraft, talking to them:(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“International space, manned dragon spacecraft, this is the China Xingzhou spacecraft, and we are astronauts Tian Qing and Wu Pingfan. We are sailing in orbit, the orbital angle is xxx, we are about to meet with you, please adjust the angle to prevent collision accident!”

Tian Qing’s fluent English made Bob Benken and others suspect that they had watched the fake video. Is there a pilot in that spacecraft?

Chinese people, when did they go to space? And also flying in the aerospace plane developed by ourselves!

“You are Chinese, are you in the aeroplane?” Black asked in horror, who is such a big deal!

“Yes.” Tian Qing greeted politely and said, “On behalf of China Space Administration and Starlight Space Technology, I would like to say hello to you in space.”

“You…” Black stared at the screen blankly. He didn’t expect that he would meet China’s astronauts in space!

Although Huaxia sent people into space, it just moved in space for a while and landed back on the ground!

This time, they actually drove an aeroplane to circle in space. What is going on?

Blake suppressed the surprise in his heart and hurriedly sent the news back to the US Space Agency!

Similarly, Bob Benken and Doug Hurley were unable to calm down in the manned dragon spacecraft. They can be seen with satellite images. The other party’s Xingzhou spacecraft seems to be much larger than their manned dragon spacecraft!

In the manned dragon spacecraft, their activities are limited to the cockpit, and they can hardly leave their seats!

Looking back at the two Chinese astronauts Tian Qing and Wu Pingfan in the lens, their seats are very spacious and they can move around at will.



There seems to be a lot of space behind the aeroplane, which can be used to load supplies!

The American astronauts have the feeling that a car meets Optimus Prime, they are the car!

The scenes in space also spread to the ground.

The US Space Agency, upon receiving Black’s information, the top executives of the space agency were confused!

“What are you talking about? There are people in that spacecraft? Or two Chinese astronauts?”

The expressions of the executives changed drastically: “When? Why is there no news at all?”


“How come there are people inside? Are they able to send astronauts into space?”

“Report immediately!”

This matter is of great significance. China can deploy space weapons if it can fly its aerospace planes into space!

Musk, who was looking forward to the docking of the Crew Dragon spacecraft with the International Space Station, saw the greetings from the Chinese astronauts before the docking was successful.

“There are people in the space plane? Didn’t you say that it was an unmanned spacecraft?” Musk angered.

“This… we are just guessing. Huaxia didn’t reveal any news!” The staff was also very surprised. Before that, Huaxia was only testing an aerospace plane, and this time it actually took people to space!

“Xingyao Space Technology?” Musk also noticed the term, “This aerospace plane is a product of Xingyao Space Technology?”

He hadn’t paid attention to this company before, but after hearing that Du Xingyu served as the company’s technology consultant, he kept his eyes on him. He didn’t expect to hear this term so soon!

“Xingyao Space Technology has launched an aerospace plane that is more powerful than the Crew Dragon spacecraft… If this is seen by other investors and the American people, this event will not only be a honour, it will also become a shame.” Musk 1 After thinking about it, I was shocked in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly ordered: “Is it still live streaming now?”

“Yes.” The subordinate replied, “You confessed that the live broadcast cannot be stopped!”

“The picture of Chinese people saying hello is also broadcast?”

“seems like it.”

“Damn it!” Musk cursed, “Quickly close it!”

He used to be excited and couldn’t sleep, but now he can’t sleep anxiously. Drinking champagne and celebrating party are all in the water!



The staff hurriedly went to close the live broadcast, but the picture of the Huaxia astronauts saying hello has been broadcasted and was seen by a large audience in the United States.
