Zhang Zhiguang moved the robotic arm almost horizontally to its longest position, glancing at his left arm from time to time to confirm the distance through the claw's camera and detector.

He decided to grab a spot on the orbital module. The return module was too slippery to grip.

The Alliance TMA-17M was still spinning, and Oleg had already seen the claws that were almost attached to the spacecraft, and kept reporting the distance and his suggestions to the commander Li Sheng.

"Dong three! RCS is ready to make full adjustments!"

When the robotic arm grabs the orbital module, the rotational momentum will inevitably roll Unity along with it, which requires RCS to adjust desperately to prevent its own posture from losing stability.

Zhang Zhiguang fixed himself and the Unity more firmly, then gently pushed the rocker to tighten the claws.

At this moment, a torque was exerted on Unity through the mechanical arm. The adjustment port on the back of the space shuttle desperately sprayed out gas, but it still could not restrain the tendency to rotate.

Deng Lei decisively pressed the switch, and the disposable solid rockets distributed on the side of the machine exploded with powerful thrust, and the posture was corrected with fire.

Zhang Zhi, who was sitting on the exit hatch, locked the mechanical arm and held on to the outer hatch. After the Unity shook violently for dozens of seconds, it finally regained stability.

In the return capsule of the Alliance TMA-17M, the three people were already ready to be fixed in their seats, feeling the centrifugal force that was about to be thrown out. After some vibrations, they regained stability.

In the camera on the back of the space shuttle, Zhang Zhiguang released his hand holding the hatch and operated the robotic arm to gently close the distance between Unity and the Soyuz spacecraft.

In the control rooms of multiple space agencies, everyone who saw this scene cheered!

"Awesome! Davarich from China is awesome!"

"Will anyone still say: 'The space shuttle is just an outdated thing'? Aramco wants to restart the space shuttle program!"

NACA and the Lucia Space Agency had different reactions, while ESA and the space agencies of other small countries could only applaud with admiration, envying that a big country is a big country and that a private space company can have such achievements.

But the most excited one is Arbor. They also synchronized the on-site meeting in Baikonur. They feel that getting an H1 for 8 billion is a major leap in their aerospace history.

The only thing that is a little bit sad is that Crown Prince Hamand always wants to go to space. This is not possible, it is not honest at all.

"Ground center, I have captured the Alliance spacecraft."

After Zhang Zhiguang reported to the ground, he then communicated with the three astronauts in the return capsule about their physical conditions, and the answer he received was that everything was fine.

"Davarich Zhang, I will depressurize the return capsule and then try to open the hatch."

At this time, the Soyuz spacecraft and Unity were almost side by side. Zhang Zhiguang had released the claws and moved to the return module to stand by.

"Okay, please be careful!"

Oleg checked the crew's spacesuit seals again and started depressurizing without hesitation.

The air in the return capsule began to be released, and their spacesuits bulged up due to the difference in air pressure. The sleeves expanded almost twice, but they were still normal. This was the situation that was considered during the design.

Five minutes later, the pressure relief was completed. Oleg felt that his body temperature was slightly higher and he approached the return cabin door, which would not be opened until he returned to the ground.

The hatch that was most worried about on the ground did not become deformed or stuck, and opened smoothly.

Zhang Zhiguang had already seen Oleg's hand and quickly told him not to move. He pulled out three safety ropes and slowly floated them along the fixed mechanical arm.

The moment his hand reached the return cabin door, Oleg leaned out half of his body and hugged Zhang Zhiguang's waist to prevent it from continuing to float. On the back of the Unity, it was as if the two people were hugging each other intimately. Same.

This scene immediately caused a sensation in the live broadcast on the Internet, and the media people in the live broadcast even called it the "embrace of the space age" and a sign of mankind entering a new era.

And 340,000 meters above the ground, the masks of Oleg's and Zhang Zhiguang's helmets touched each other, and a sound of "Davarishi" was transmitted to Zhang Zhiguang's ears through vibrations ahead of the electrical signal.

Zhang Zhiguang patted Oleg with one hand, and then handed over the rope from the socket of his other hand. Oleg pulled one out, wrapped it around his waist, and then carefully pulled his legs out of the return cabin. out.

They still have some experience, but Lindgren and Keimi Arii are not, and they need help guiding them to conduct spacewalks.

In the crew cabin of the Unity, Li Sheng said decisively:

"There are too many of them, I need help from the cabin!"

Later, with the help of Deng Lei, he also began to equip a life-sustaining backpack. At the same time, the outer hatch of the airlock was closed, and the inner hatch was opened after pressurization.

When Li Sheng also leaned out of the outer hatch, Ariei Keimi and Lindgren had already tied the ropes and floated above the return capsule together with Zhang Zhiguang.

Now they may have set another record: five astronauts conducting extravehicular activities at the same time.

Li Sheng pulled out the safety rope from another functional port and tied it on himself. He communicated with Zhang Zhiguang to confirm whether their safety rope was tight. After receiving a thumbs-up confirmation, he pulled Arii Keimi first.

The latter grabbed the rope tightly and was pulled by Li Sheng to float slowly towards the Unity. The distance of seven or eight meters was like a chasm. Keimi Arii, who had narrowly escaped death, made a funny bowing action in space. Unexpectedly, He stopped talking about Aligado, and then was stuffed into the airlock by Li Sheng, and even had his head stepped on.

Don't get me wrong, that's because Arii Keimi couldn't get in, so Commander Lee helped.

Then came Lindgren, Oleg, and finally Zhang Zhiguang, and then the robotic arm slowly retracted.

In front of the camera, the four astronauts lined up in a chaotic line. Arioi leaned out half of his body. The camera on the back of the plane took a family photo of four...five people in space.

Historical scenes were created one after another, and then began to enter the cabin one after another.

Lindgren and Keimi Arii entered the airlock first, where only two astronauts were allowed to exist at the same time. Li Sheng, Zhang Zhiguang, and Oleg floated on the back of Unity together.

It takes more than ten minutes for the outer hatch of the airlock to close, pressurize, open the inner hatch, close the inner hatch, release pressure, and open the outer hatch. The three people outside floated in a circle, listening to Oleg's expression own emotions.

"Did you know that in 1965, Voskhod-2 conducted the first human extravehicular activity? Due to scientists' mistakes, the landing location of the spacecraft became uncertain.

At that time, the ground said: 'Don't float outside the alliance, or it would be good if you land in China.' Fifty years, fifty years have passed, and now astronaut Lucia is going to land in China. Davari hope! "

"We will welcome you too, Davarisi! Whether half a century ago or half a century later, we will still be friends!"
