Chapter 999 Mir Launch
Many people are familiar with the Mir space station. It is a large space station. Historically, it was launched into space in 1986 and became a crystallization of the Soviet aerospace industry. However, due to various reasons, it was not until 1997 that the overall construction was completed in Russia. It became a behemoth with a length of 87 meters and a total weight of 123 tons. After 15 years of operation in orbit, it fell to the earth due to frequent malfunctions, completing its mission.
At that time, because the Soviet Union's Energia rocket was not mature at all, it had always used the Proton carrier rocket for launch. The maximum carrying capacity of this carrier rocket was only about 20 tons, so the various cabins launched into space in several batches weighed only more than 100 tons in total!
But now, it's completely different! A few years ahead of history, the Energia rocket has matured and has carried out several successful launches in succession! Therefore, the Soviet space program is making great strides forward! The Buran project and the Mir space station project are developed simultaneously, especially the Mir space station, which will usher in its first launch today. The core cabin of this launch weighs a full 110 tons!
Even without launching other modules, this core module alone is enough to become a super-large space station! After launching this core module, the Soviet Union will continue to launch other modules, eventually making this space station a behemoth with an in-orbit mass of more than 400 tons!

The Mir at this time was definitely not the Mir of the past! Moreover, although it was called Mir, it was definitely not launched for peaceful purposes. It was launched purely to occupy space!
The Mir space station is a combat weapons space station!
When the current core module is launched into space, it will have six docking ports, two of which are used to connect to other modules, while the remaining four docking ports can accommodate four space shuttles at the same time!
The Buran space shuttle has also carried out an unmanned launch! The next launch will be a manned flight to dock with the Mir module!

In addition to the four space shuttles, it can also dock with the Scythian laser cannon, replenishing new energy for the Scythians and extending the life of this space weapon. And when there is a mission, the space shuttle can be dispatched at any time!
Now, the Soviet Union’s space development sounds a bit sci-fi!

"Ten minutes to prepare." As time went on, the countdown to launch finally arrived!
The entire launch hall was silent, and when the countdown finally reached zero, the launcher pressed the launch button.
The launch platform was instantly covered by white smoke. In the smoke, the Energia rocket slowly left the launch pad and began to take off with the huge core module of the Mir!

"The launch was successful!" Finally, there was joy in the hall.
In space, the Energia rocket, which had completed its launch mission, finished burning and fell down, with the load on its back revealed in space!
This is a cabin section that is more than 80 meters long, almost as long as the Mir assembled later!
At this time, the solar panels on both sides of it were slowly unfolding! After unfolding, various devices in the cabin began to start up gradually!

As a core module, it has various functions such as navigation, communication, attitude control, climate control, etc. The next batch of astronauts can take either the Soyuz spacecraft or the Buran space shuttle, dock with it, enter it, and carry out various work and life!
Testing of the Mir module is ongoing. Once the testing is completed, it will welcome its first residents. At the Baikonur Cosmodrome, there is already a Soyuz spacecraft waiting!

"Congratulations, Comrade Grushko." Andrei said to Grushko beside him. He was the main person in charge of the project. Now that the launch has taken place, everyone is extremely happy.
"It belongs to us, the Soviet Union." Grushko said, "We really hope that this space station can be built as soon as possible. By then, the entire space will belong to us, the Soviet Union!"

The entire space belongs to the Soviets! When the space laser cannon is launched, the entire space will belong to the Soviets!
"Yes, this space will eventually belong to us, the Soviet Union." Andrei said: "This is very beneficial for us to maintain world peace and order."
"Perhaps this is also the reason why we named it Mir," said Grushko.

The launch of Mir heralded the arrival of a new era! The Soviet Union not only had unmanned space laser cannons, but also manned space stations. In the future, if the Soviet Union wanted to salvage a satellite in space, it would not have to launch a space shuttle from the ground. It could be done by launching a space shuttle from the space station! This greatly increased the randomness and reduced the cost!
Moreover, in addition to being used to recycle space debris, the space shuttle's cargo hold can also carry other things, such as laser cannon compartments, space nuclear bombs, and the aerospace fighters that are currently being researched!

The revolver-style launch aerospace fighter has now officially begun demonstration. If the plan can be carried out, then the Soviet Union will have the world's first space combat force!
It can be said that from now on, without the consent of the Soviet Union, no country can successfully launch a satellite! From now on, space belongs to the Soviet Union!
