This gap, of course, is not the gap in physical and mental quality, but the gap in professional knowledge and aerospace knowledge.

01 years, to be honest, in fact, the selection of astronauts has come to an end, and the approximate candidates have been determined, Yang Liwei and each of them have been trained and studied for more than six years in theory and professional knowledge, a qualified astronaut is not only relying on excellent physical fitness, in which professional knowledge is more important.

Zhengji once saw Yang Liwei reading a book called "Fundamentals of Manned Space Engineering", a large book of 16 pages, up to 600 pages, covering all aspects of manned spaceflight: flight dynamics, cosmophysics, astronomy, spacecraft orbit theory, rocket propulsion principles, space navigation, and so on.

Masaki once borrowed it and skimmed it roughly.,Some of the content in the textbook is very profound.,There's a lot to memorize.。

Yang Liwei said that he basically did not sleep before 12 o'clock at night for four consecutive years since he took his first class, and he was studying hard and studying textbooks.

This is only the first stage, and later Masaki followed their course for a few days, which is professional skills training.

Astronauts should be familiar with the working principles and modes of the spacecraft and its various systems. Astronauts have to learn everything involved in the spacecraft, the structure and materials of the spacecraft must be clear, and the principles of electricity and solar sail panels must also be familiar. There is also knowledge of astronomy, in the event of a malfunction, astronauts must know how to recognize celestial phenomena and judge their position by the position of the stars. With more than 80 constellations to master, it can be said that almost every astronaut can be an astronomer.

Later, you will also learn the knowledge of spacecraft, rockets, engines, fuel, launch sites, and launch site towers, and you should understand the assembly, testing, and vertical transfer of spacecraft, and you should also be proficient in field life-saving skills.

In a word, there are many things that need to be learned, like a vast ocean, even Yang Liwei, a senior astronaut who has been studying for six years now, does not dare to say that he has thoroughly and comprehensively mastered this knowledge, which is a huge project that requires countless time and energy to study.

In fact, the knowledge of astronauts is the same as that of pilots, fourteen astronauts, all of whom are senior pilots, and their understanding of the sky is sometimes even more than that of the ground, and the foundation is naturally much stronger than that of the political discipline from scratch.

And political discipline, it's only been less than two months since I joined it, let alone learning, and some of them don't know.

But I don't know, it doesn't mean that I can't learn, the learning speed of political discipline is very fast, and the excellent memory can be said to be unforgettable, which gives him a chance to remedy.

While Zhengji worked hard, Chen Yuxuan did not forget to open a small stove for him, and invited professional teachers and pilots to give him a lecture and explanation.

During this period, Zhengji was curious about Yang Liwei and them, and the fourteen astronauts were also curious about Zhengji.

A star, all of a sudden, has to participate in the training and selection of astronauts, which in itself is two professions that are incompatible, and people can't help but be curious, but they think of the scene when Masaki came to do a centrifuge physical examination for the first time, and they can understand that such a physical fitness does have the potential to become an astronaut.

"Zhengji, the book you want, give it to you", in the bedroom, Yang Liwei handed Zhengji a book on aerospace fundamentals that he had read before and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Yang", Zhengji took over, and the relationship between them during this time has become very close.

Yang Liwei is very easy to get along with, and he can feel his enthusiasm when he gets along, when he first came to Zhengji, Yang Liwei was like a big brother who took Zhengji to understand relevant knowledge, and he explained to him a lot of things that he didn't understand.

"What's polite, if there's anything you don't understand, just come and ask me," Yang Liwei said with a smile and patted Zhengji's shoulder.

"Won't it disturb your studies?" Masaki nodded.

"No, it's just a review and consolidation," Yang replied.

After living at the space center for another half a month, Masaki received a notice.

"Comrade Zhengji, officially become one of the reserve astronauts of Shenzhou 5", after this notice came out, Chen Yuxuan smiled, he was not wrong, and he really took a fancy to Zhengji's physical fitness, and the roommates who lived in the aerospace apartment for two months with Zhengji also congratulated Zhengji on being able to become a reserve astronaut.

Masaki officially began his training journey.

Centrifugal cabin, weightlessness training, physical exercise, vestibular function training, aviation flight and parachute training, political discipline is involved in it.

In the blink of an eye, it was April, and Zhengji appeared at an airport in Hainan.

After two months of theoretical study and training, Masaki began to usher in his first real plane pilot training, and with him came 14 astronauts, who were not training to fly airplanes, but to train in ocean skydiving.

The so-called ocean skydiving training is to parachute at a height of 10,000 meters, and then successfully land on the sea, which is mainly to train astronauts in the ocean and other complex environment survival skills, you know, when returning from space, everything may happen, and more than 70% of the earth is the ocean, if the return capsule does not return according to the predetermined trajectory, the probability of landing in the sea is very large, so it is necessary for astronauts to master the skills of ocean survival, so as to be able to persist until the time of the search team rescue.

In this item, Zhengji was also involved, but before that, he was going to carry out a fighter pilot, and this time the pilot was arranged for him by Chen Yuxuan, the purpose was nothing else, it was to let him get familiar with the sky before aviation.

It was still Chen Yuxuan who took him, and Zhengji didn't expect that Chen Yuxuan, who was in front of him, with the rank of major general, was also a fighter pilot, and the flight time exceeded 1,000 hours.

"How did you feel about piloting the training plane a few days ago?" Chen Yuxuan and Zhengji asked Zhengji as they walked on the tarmac.

"It feels okay, and some theoretical operations are also linked to practice", Masaki nodded and said, he had a test flight with a coach a few days ago, and it felt pretty good.

"Well, today you are going to start the first practical operation, don't be nervous for a while, follow the usual training operation", Chen Yuxuan settled down uneasily.

Masaki nodded, and the two of them walked to a fighter plane at the end of the airport runway that looked slightly stereotyped and old, yes, in the eyes of Masaki, this is indeed this impression, after all, he is a person who has seen J-20 and F22 in various military reports in later generations, and the plane in front of him naturally looks a little old compared to it.

"The J-8 fighter has a maximum speed of Mach 2.2, a climb rate of 200 meters per second, a combat radius of 800 kilometers, and a cruising radius of 2,000 kilometers ......", Chen Yuxuan looked at the fighter in front of him, his eyes flashed with indescribable light, as if he was looking at his lover.

After finishing the basic information, he suddenly looked at Masaki and said: "Do you know? This plane is my first car, and it is also the first plane I flew after entering the Air Force.

"Your first car?" Masaki was stunned for a moment, looking at the Jian-8 next to him, he didn't expect there to be such a story in it.

"Well, come on, I believe it will definitely take you to an unforgettable experience", Chen Yuxuan nodded, looked at Zhengji and said.

Changed into a flight suit,Masaki sat in the cabin of the fighter for the first time,Look at the dense operation buttons on the dashboard,The function and meaning of each button that he learned before naturally appeared in his mind,This made him feel a little emotional,Once upon a time,A fighter plane that can only be addicted to the game,One day he can really fly it in the real world。

"Command center, command center, I'm 001, ready to take off at any moment," Masaki said into the radio on the plane.

"The command center received, the runway has been emptied, and takeoffs are allowed", on the other end of the radio, the voice of the air traffic control came.

Masaki took a breath softly, and ignited it step by step, and there was a roar from the engine of the Jian-8, and the fuselage vibrated slightly, as if a sleeping giant beast slowly woke up from its sleep.

J-8 slowly turned around, straightened the fuselage, and faced the runway.

"001 prepares to take off," Masaki said.

"Permission to take off, happy journey"

The plane slowly began to taxi from the runway, and Masaki made an OK gesture to Chen Yuxuan, who was looking at him outside the window, and then slowly pushed the joystick.

The light blue tail flame of the J-8 began to spray, and the speed of the plane suddenly accelerated, and after accumulating a certain speed on the runway, accompanied by the action of Masaki raising the control stick, he slowly raised the nose of the aircraft and successfully took off at an airport in Hainan.

The plane flew higher and higher, while experiencing the unparalleled acceleration brought by the J-8 fighter, Masaki couldn't help but sigh, this is much more exciting than a sports car motorcycle, just now the overload of the climb, has exceeded five G, and he can even hear the fierce sound of the air outside the plane crossing the wings.

Zhengji continued to increase the throttle, and the J-8 fighter increased its speed even faster, and suddenly the fuselage shook violently, and then there seemed to be a layer of barriers around the fuselage, and after the sudden explosion, the speed of the J-8 increased to a height!

Break the sound barrier!

With a slight smile, he made various maneuvers in the sky above the ocean, feeling the silky sense of operation, and couldn't help but feel that the Jian-8 fighter developed by Huaguo himself was indeed worthy of a generation of divine aircraft.

"001, how do you feel!" Chen Yuxuan's voice suddenly came over the radio.

"Everything is normal, one more thing, it's cool!" Masaki shouted with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came over the radio: "No. 001 will return immediately! Return immediately! An unknown plane appears in your airspace! Immediately dispatch fighter planes to intercept it!"

Zhengji was slightly stunned, what is the situation? Looking at the coordinates where he was, yes, it was the airspace of the sea belonging to Huaguo, and when he was wondering, a voice suddenly came from the radio.
