Chapter 0724 Don't You Want to Die

For a person to fully appreciate weightlessness, he needs to enter a geosynchronous orbit above the equator, where he can remain stationary as if he had no weight.

However, it is too far away from the earth, and it is not suitable for the young Zhuang faction and candidates of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, they have not undergone professional training, and the time spent on a round trip to the geostationary orbit is too long, which is likely to cause a bad impression on the body of these passengers, so for the sake of caution, Gu Yu plans to take them to the geosynchronous geostationary orbit, his destination is to go to the altitude of about 400 kilometers above sea level, here is the International Space Station, The altitude at which the space station of Huaxia is located.

The speed of the aerospace plane is very fast, and at the fastest time, it can reach up to four or five times the speed of sound, that is, five or six thousand kilometers per hour, at such a speed, Gu Yu has no problem withstanding it, but it is a little too difficult for them to let the people of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences bear it. Therefore, Gu Yu did not let the aerospace plane fly too fast, basically at the same level as ordinary civil airliners, but even so, it did not take too much time to fly to an altitude of four or five hundred kilometers above sea level.

After reaching this altitude, Gu Yu stopped letting the aerospace plane continue to thrust upward, and instead changed to fly around the earth. Through the public address system on the aerospace plane, he informed the passengers in the cabin that they could unbuckle their seat belts, so that they could experience the same "weightlessness" as astronauts.

After saying this notice, Gu Yu left from the captain's position and asked Ye Rou to pilot the aerospace plane instead of him, and then, he opened the cabin door and entered the passenger area, and saw that all the passengers had untied the seat belts that bound them, floating around in the cabin, shouting, and having fun.

Gu Yu greeted everyone with a smile, sometimes, when someone floated to his side, he would push it and let the other party change the direction of flight, and sometimes, when someone lost control and was about to hit the fuselage, he would also reach out and pull it so that he wouldn't hit his head.

After playing with them for a while, Gu Yu clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he asked everyone not to patronize and play, and for a while, pay attention to looking out through the porthole of the space plane, maybe you can see the International Space Station and Huaxia's own space station up close.

After getting Gu Yu's reminder, everyone squeezed to the portholes, but fortunately, there were a large number of portholes, and basically everyone was able to look outside unhindered.

Soon, they caught the first flying object, an artificial satellite with solar panels stretched and a gyroscope rotating on the cube's body.

A senior researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences shouted, this is a meteorological satellite under their management, and when this meteorological satellite was first developed, he was one of the main persons in charge of it. Years passed, and he didn't expect to meet his painstaking work in such a way.

The others looked at this senior researcher with envy when they heard this, the group of people from the Huaxia Academy of Sciences brought out by Gu Yu this time were all engaged in space-related research, and they never thought that they would have such an opportunity to meet their former works. It's an exciting scene just to think about, and now that a colleague has experienced such a scene, I wonder if they have a similar opportunity.

Under Ye Rou's conscious control, the space plane constantly passed by one artificial satellite after another, some of which were from China, and many of which belonged to other countries. Many of these artificial satellites are very confidential things, if they are put on the ground, the country to which these artificial satellites belong will not give them a chance to get close at all, but now, it is indeed possible to watch at a fairly close distance, and even if they are not afraid of causing international disputes, Ye Rou can poke out the mechanical claws on the aerospace aircraft and capture these high-precision satellites that are inaccessible on the ground into the cabin.

However, even if these artificial satellites were not captured, such a close view still inspired several passengers in the cabin, and in their research fields, they are all world-class talents, and many things are just missing a layer of window paper. Just a few glances up close can make them pierce several layers of window paper.

After looking at the artificial satellite for a while, Gu Yu asked Ye Rou to speed up, for the sake of the health of these passengers, they can't stay in space for too long, and the length of time must be controlled.

Ye Rou pulled the joystick and increased the speed of the space plane, the next target - the International Space Station.

Speaking of the International Space Station, this is an eternal pain for the Chinese astronauts, although Huaxia has actively applied more than once, but because of the repeated opposition of the United States, Huaxia has never been able to participate in the construction of the International Space Station, and Huaxia's astronauts have never been able to board this huge, perennial spacecraft in space.

Putting aside these grievances, the national space station is much better than the Huaxia space station in terms of scale and advancement, after all, the international space station was built by the brainstorming of many countries, and the Huaxia space station is currently only gathering the strength of one country.

There are few obstacles in space, so you can already see the outline of the ISS at a great distance. Dozens of passengers crowded in front of the portholes, watching with great interest. Some of them are head-up, some are head-down, and the expressions on their faces are relatively uniform, just like the expressions on the faces of children who watched foreign films decades ago, with a bit of novelty and a lot of longing.

There are astronauts on the International Space Station, and when they find the space plane flying towards it, they are scared to the core. They hadn't received a notification from the ground that a spacecraft was going to be launched, and the plane's appearance was obviously different from theirs, so they thought it was a UFO from outer space.

But when the plane flew closer, the white astronauts with their eye sockets deep in recognized the plane. This is the spacecraft that everyone on Earth is now familiar with, and at first they thought it was sent by the Lunar Research Center to carry out a mission. But after contacting the control center on Earth, I realized that there was no such thing at all.

These astronauts who can pass through layers of selection, defeat competitors, and become astronauts who can be stationed on the International Space Station, naturally have nothing to say about their psychological quality, but at this time, in the face of the approaching aerospace aircraft, they still have a feeling of being scared. Neither the space plane nor the International Space Station are stationary, they are moving at extremely high speeds, and if they collide, the consequences are much more serious than the consequences of two planes colliding. There was no communication between the two sides, and no one could rule out the possibility of a collision.

Even if we take a step back, the two will not collide, and what the space plane will do to the ISS is unknown. If the space plane were to do something bad to their ISS, it would be an absolute disaster for the ISS.

Several frightened white astronauts reported the situation to the command station on the ground, and at the same time tried to use the communication system built on the International Space Station to get in touch with the space plane.

After receiving the news, the ground command center of the International Space Station was also frightened, and hurriedly tried to get in touch with the Huaxia side through various channels and asked the Huaxia side to give a reasonable explanation. Naturally, the Chinese side denied that the aerospace aircraft was hostile to the ISS, and asked the ISS not to over-interpret this matter.

Gu Yu in space did not refuse the request sent by the white astronauts to ask for a call, and when several white astronauts asked him what he wanted to do, Gu Yu spit out a sentence lightly, he heard that several people were too lonely on the International Space Station, so he brought the team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to comfort them.

In order to show that what he said was true, Gu Yu also asked Ye Rou to control the space plane, maintaining a relatively stationary speed with the International Space Station, so that the distance between the two was also kept at a relatively close distance, and dozens of passengers and Gu Yu gathered in front of the porthole and waved to the astronauts on the International Space Station more than 200 meters away.

When the latter saw this scene, he couldn't laugh or cry. If they encounter such a situation on the ground, they will smile, but when they encounter such a scene in space, it is really only horror.

What made the white astronauts even more incredible was that Gu Yu not only asked the passengers of the space plane to wave to them, but also said that if conditions permitted, he wanted to visit the International Space Station, I wonder if it was convenient?

The white astronauts hurriedly said that it was inconvenient, how could they dare to let Gu Yu enter the International Space Station without permission, and they didn't have any preparations here, even if they let Gu Yu in, there were too many things that were not suitable for Gu Yu to see. Gu Yu may not be able to look at these things, but Gu Yu can't look down on them, but what should be kept secret is still to be kept secret.

Gu Yu originally said casually that entering the International Space Station was just an excuse, in order to ask for a sky-high price and repay the money on the spot. Gu Yu also proposed to send some condolences over, he really felt the hard work of several resident astronauts on the International Space Station, so he specially brought some condolences over and planned to send them to the International Space Station. The International Space Station won't even give him this face, right?

Those white astronauts did not dare to make decisions on their own, and they did not dare to refuse Gu Yu's kindness without asking for instructions. After all, Gu Yu currently has the most advanced aerospace technology in the world, who knows when he will ask for his disciples, and if he doesn't have a good relationship in advance, it will definitely not work.

The ground command center could only discuss urgently, and finally agreed to accept Gu Yu's condolences by a show of hands, but there was one clause, that is, Gu Yu's condolences returned to condolences, but they could not enter the International Space Station. The condolences brought by Gu Yu can be sent to the ground command center after returning to Earth. However, if Gu Yu insists on completing the handover of condolences in space, then he can only make certain compromises.

ISS astronauts spend most of their time on the ISS, but when the situation calls for it, they need to leave the ISS and go outside the ISS to carry out missions. For example, conducting spacewalks, or repairing equipment outside the International Space Station.

The bottom line for the International Space Station to make concessions this time is to let an astronaut out of the capsule, meet with Gu Yu in space in the form of a spacewalk, and then complete the handover of condolences. As for how Gu Yu sent the condolences here, then Gu Yu had to figure out how to do it himself.

The International Space Station's request actually made Gu Yu retreat. On the road, it is an extremely dangerous thing for passengers on two high-speed vehicles to exchange goods with each other, not to mention, this is space, every 90 minutes, the International Space Station has to circle the earth, and at this speed, in the case of a serious lack of gravity, it is simply an impossible task to complete the task of handing over condolences in space. In the past, to transport supplies from the ground to the ISS, spacecraft were used to launch and then dock with the ISS, and then move the materials on the spacecraft to the ISS little by little.

Gu Yu immediately agreed, the International Space Station didn't expect Gu Yu to agree so quickly, but since Gu Yu insisted, they didn't say anything anymore, but gave an order to the astronauts on the International Space Station to send an astronaut out of the cabin to accept Gu Yu's condolences.

It didn't take much effort for the ISS to open the hatch, and then an astronaut wearing a spacesuit and a rope walked out of the ISS, and then waved to the space plane.

On the side of the aerospace plane, Gu Yu also changed into a spacesuit, and then refused Ye Rou's request to tie a rope to him, and then held a box, jumped from the isolation cabin of the aerospace plane, and then floated towards the International Space Station a few hundred meters away.

The astronaut standing outside the International Space Station watched all this dumbfounded, didn't Gu Yu want to die? If there is no rope on the spacesuit, it is simply an act of looking for death, and if a slight accident occurs, it may lead to the inability to return to the space plane smoothly, and when the time comes, he can only float in space, unable to go up to the sky, unable to go down to the ground, slowly waiting for the oxygen in the spacesuit to run out, die of lack of oxygen, and finally under the exposure of the sun, he can only become a dry corpse, floating in space day and night, and can never get rest.
