Chapter 556: Come on, come on, walk around the centrifuge.
Although NASA is not short of R&D funds, the annual daily expenses of the ten R&D institutions under the headquarters are also quite huge. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So basically, except for the Armstrong Flight Research Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which are core research institutions that cooperate with the military, they are all partially open to the outside world to earn tickets and experience fees.
The Kennedy Space Center is like this, opening some obsolete astronaut training instruments and equipment to the outside world, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can go up and experience the feeling of astronauts. What spacesuits, space food, weightlessness simulations, accelerated centrifugal trainers, all are clearly marked prices.
However, these Yinzhu students are different, they are sent by the colleges and universities under the Yinzhu Space Agency to participate in aerospace technical skills training with the theme of academic exchanges.
What their team leader said just now is really right, Chinese college students really don't have this opportunity.
Although these things have no technical content, the US aerospace industry really does not accept academic exchanges from Chinese academic institutions.
The reason is that children are not as long as their mothers.
But at its root, it is still the so-called "Cold War mentality" on the part of the United States. Since the middle of the last century, US law has strictly prohibited cooperation with China in the military, industrial and aviation sectors. During his tenure in office, Oguanhai also made two amendments in a row to continue to maintain this fine tradition. Even now that the aerospace industry is in an atmosphere of internationalization and global integration, China and the United States have "zero exchanges, zero contact, and zero cooperation" in the aerospace field. ”
Li Fanyu bought the OEM company i, and he had to secretly learn the technology in China, which was caused by this series of bills.
But this does not prevent Li Fanyu from spending money......
After spending 200 dollars to buy three experience scrolls, Li Fanyu took Liu Qing and Wang Rui to stand next to the group of Yin Zhu Asan with their shoulders in their arms.
At this time, Ah San was conducting experiential training on the centrifuge, watching the speed indicator on the centrifuge being adjusted to 1.5G, Li Fanyu did not speak, and sneered at a group of Ah San.
"What are you looking at?"
This kind of strange eyes finally attracted the attention of the sturdy young man just now, and he glared at Li Fanyu and said this.
To the north of Tiancheng, this way of questioning may lead to a war, and Li Fanyu actually wants to take a look at you.
But it's not for stubble, it's for the sake of annoyance......
So the thing rolled its eyes and said, "Low-level." ”
"What did you say?!" said the little Zhuang San as he pointed his hand at his nose.
Li Fanyu took two steps forward, put his nose on his fingers, and said word by word: "I said you, don't be ashamed of this level, hurry up and let go." ”
As he spoke, he raised the experience scroll in his hand.
Seeing that he had paid for the ticket, the on-site staff stepped forward to take it and let him board the centrifuge next to him.
"Sir, this centrifuge is the HHBL-553 simulator that NASA used in training astronauts in '90. The maximum speed can reach 120 revolutions per minute, and a centrifugal force of more than 20G is applied to the cabin. The current congressman, former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, has trained on this centrifuge.
Your experience volume can try the centrifuge for ten minutes, we will slowly increase the centrifugal force from 0 to 1.8G, and normal people's physique will feel uncomfortable when it exceeds 1.5G. So on the right-hand side of the simulated cabin seat, there is a striking red button. If you feel unwell, just press this button and we'll stop immediately, OK?"
Li Fanyu shook his head, "NO!"
"Well, what's the problem, sir?" the on-site staff asked, looking confused.
Li Fanyu pointed to the 1.8G parameter on the operation panel of the centrifuge next to him and said, "I think I can withstand a force of 3.6 G." ”
These staff members had just seen the friction between China and India, and at this time, they couldn't hold back their joy when they saw that Li Fanyu was a little arrogant.
"Sir, NASA has a term for centrifuge training, it's called eyeball-out, I don't know what it means. ”
Li Fanyu tilted his head, "The eyeballs are protruding, this is literally easy to understand." ”
"That's right, if a person can't withstand excessive centrifugal force, after experiencing a force of more than 3-5 G, it is likely to cause reversible or irreversible physical damage, the most significant is that the eyeball will be thrown out by centrifugal force. With all due respect, sir, it wasn't fun. ”
"Ha..."Li Fanyu waved his hand, "It's okay, just according to the standard I said, can't I just press the button?"
The guy in the NASA baseball cap shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, if you have to insist." ”
After speaking, Li Fanyu climbed the mountain and gave the centrifuge as if it had only one fan blade. Lie on your back in a fixed seat and watch as the crew secures themselves with four pairs of seat belts that are no less than those on a race car.
"Start in fifteen seconds, 0-3.6G, feel uncomfortable, please press this button, OK?"
Faced with the staff's inquiry, Li Fanyu stretched out his right hand and made a gesture that was okay.
Next to the centrifugal force, seeing Li Fanyu really going up, the three of them all stood up. Look at the lively general discussion;
The chatter is nothing more than saying that Li Fan is stupid to death.
Wang Rui couldn't understand the Yinzhu language mixed with a small amount of English, so he exchanged words with Liu Qing and said, "I'll rub, can Brother Fan do this?"
Liu Qing looked at the closed hatch at one end of the centrifuge and pouted: "When Brother Fan tested the RS, the lateral acceleration force was 2.48G, and when he braked, it exceeded 5G, so there should be no problem playing for eight or nine minutes." ”
With that, the staff started the centrifuge. After a slow start-up, the centrifuge slowly sped up.
Judging from the internal video of the simulated warehouse on the work panel, Li Fanyu is quite comfortable at this time. Xu was so idle in the cabin that he actually picked up the astronaut consciousness test card with a pencil on his side.
The test card is actually nothing special, it is some physics or mathematics questions for astronauts to test whether they are awake and conscious in the state of high centrifugal force. So most of the above questions are at the level of Li Fanyu in high school.
Out of boredom, this product actually made it.
Looking at this scene, Liu Qing and Wang Rui spread their hands to each other.
Under the workmanship of the centrifuge turnaround, the speed is slowly increased. After about a minute, the centrifugal force value on the panel has broken through 2G and headed straight for 3G.
Seeing that Li Fanyu was still leisurely in the cabin, he even finished the questions on the first test card and copied another one. The staff at the scene gave a thumbs up and asked, "What does this gentleman do?"
Liu Qing raised his chin at the group of Ah San, "It's just a college student." ”
Seeing his provocative expression just now, and seeing Li Fanyu's leisurely state on the panel monitor, the sturdy Ah San boy reflexively boarded the centrifuge that had stopped next to him, and asked the staff: "Please give me a 3.6G too!"
As soon as he got into the cockpit and started turning, the crew felt that something was wrong.
Less than two seconds after this bad premonition occurred, I heard the centrifuge over there spin at a noticeable speed.
When he looked back at Li Fanyu's centrifuge again, the staff was sweating when he exhaled.
At this time, the centrifugal force parameters of the centrifuge that Li Fanyu was riding have reached 5G!
The guy with the NASA baseball cap hurriedly pressed the emergency stop button, but ......
This obsolete machine of the last century is completely out of order at this time, and it is accelerating at a force of about 2 Gs per minute!
