Chapter 539: From the Earth to the Moon
Judging from the current situation, there is really no need to develop space power, because now that the world is unified, the entire earth is unified into the "Great Han Federation"!
When Liu Xie ascended the throne and became emperor, the most he thought of was to unify the entire earth, and he did not think about conquering the universe. But with the development of time, Liu Xie found that it was really too easy to conquer the world.
From his accession to the throne at the age of nine to the unification of the world at the age of 41, it took only 32 years, and the starting point was still the era of cold weapons.
So he felt that this was too easy, his rebirth was a reward life in itself, and he felt that his reward life was too simple, not exciting enough, and he must be crazy for the rest of the forty years.
At the No. 51 Space Center in North American Province, Liu Xie, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan will receive a month-long space training here, and a group of veteran generals will participate in the training with them.
The so-called old generals are those generals in the era of cold weapons who fought with him in the world, such as Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci and so on.
A month later, at the space center, there were special spacecraft carrying them off the Earth and into Earth orbit.
There is an orbiting space station in Earth orbit, and after a successful docking, everyone leaves the spacecraft and enters the space station. The space station of the Han Empire is very huge, and its magnitude is unimaginable to people in our world today.
The size of such a space station is at least a hundred times that of our space station today! And such a huge space station, there are at least a hundred in the Earth's orbit!
And next to such a space station, there is a large Earth-Moon spaceship.
The so-called Earth-Moon spacecraft refers to the fact that it is specially designed to sail between the Earth and the Moon, so it also has a common name, I am the Moon Ferry.
Due to the flight from the ground to the orbit, there is a huge super gravity inside the spacecraft, so this is a huge test for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two "old bones", but fortunately, they both survived.
After connecting to the space station, the two collapsed in the spacecraft seats, unable to get up for a long time. Liu Xie loosened his seat belt, looked at the two of them and said, "What's wrong?" Now that you haven't even left the earth's orbit, you two are so virtuous? ”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is really old, how can he compare with you." ”
Liu Xie said: "Can Lian Po still be able to eat in his eighties, you are only in your sixties, so you can't do it?" ”
Looking at Liu Bei again, Liu Bei was stunned for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is fine." ”
The airlock has been opened, and the staff of the space station are already waiting, but the two old ministers can't get up for a long time. Liu Xie pondered for a long time and said, "Then let's not do it, let's not go to the moon." ”
Cao Cao exclaimed: "Don't go to the moon? And to Earth? ”
"Lao Cao," Liu Xie said, "you must know that going back to Earth is more exciting than flying up." ”
"Huh? That ......" Cao Cao looked helpless, he probably also knew something about the landing of the spaceship. Landing at high speed is also a huge test for ordinary people, not to mention that Cao Cao is still an old man in his sixties.
"That's right," Liu Xie said, "we have two choices now, one is to stay on the orbital space station, and the other is that I fly to the lunar orbit, where there is also a lunar space station." The three of you choose. ”
Sun Quan spoke first: "Your Majesty, the minister still wants to go to the moon!" ”
"Ah, yes," Liu Xie boasted, "it's still Zhongmou brave!" But I want to warn you that landing on the moon is also a very bumpy thing, even though the moon's gravitational pull is only one-sixth that of the Earth. ”
Liu Bei said: "Your Majesty, even if we don't go to the moon, then we have to go to the lunar orbit." Mengde, we are still in orbit on the earth, so we are not leaving the earth yet. ”
Cao Cao sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll also go to the lunar orbit." ”
Liu Xie said: "Go to the space station first and rest well, and then go to the lunar orbit, you see how it goes." ”
All three of them said, "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”
Cao Cao and Liu Bei, supported by a staff member, left the re-entry spaceship and passed through the air corridor.
The so-called returnable spacecraft is specially designed to travel between orbit and the ground, and is a reusable spacecraft. And the so-called reusable spaceship, which means that it can be used multiple times, is relative to disposable spacecraft.
For example, most of our today's technology, most of the spacecraft are disposable, and one round trip to the atmosphere is basically burned out.
The space station has a centrifugal artificial gravitational pull, and when it enters the interior, it closes the air corridor. Because of the gravitational pull, it is not necessary to float.
The first thing Liu Xie did after entering the space station was to go to the command module. Under the guidance of the staff, a group of more than a dozen people walked towards the command cabin.
This time, there are several groups of people who come to space, Liu Xie, Cao Cao and others, and a cadre of old military generals are the first wave, and there are more than a dozen people.
When I came to the command module, I saw the scenery in space spinning, including the facilities of the space station, as well as the Earth, the moon and the sun in the sphere of influence.
As soon as he saw this rotating scene, Cao Cao exclaimed, "Why are the heavens spinning? I'm going to get dizzy. ”
Liu Xie glanced at him with disdain, and wanted to say that he held back. Sun Quan knew more when he was young, and immediately said: "Centrifugal gravity, Lao Cao, do you know?" What you see isn't turning, it's us, okay? ”
Liu Xie explained: "Zhongmou is right, centrifugal gravity is that we rotate around the axis of the space station to generate gravity. Otherwise, we'd all be floating now. ”
"Oh my God!" Cao Cao, found a chair, sat down with his support, covered his eyes and peeked outside, glanced at it, dizzy, and quickly turned his head again.
Liu Xie knew that he was born with a head disease and couldn't see what was turning, so he said, "Then don't look at it." Let's rest here, wait for the people behind us to come, and take the ferry boat to the lunar orbit together. ”
The return-type spacecraft does not carry many passengers, while the ferry ship has a large passenger capacity, so you need to wait for the people behind to take the ferry to the lunar orbit.
The second group of personnel, most of whom were family members, and some engineering personnel. Taking the opportunity to wait for someone, Sun Quan said, "Why don't we go to the spaceship first and wait." ”
After soliciting everyone's opinions, Liu Xie said: "That's fine." ”
Several people left the command cabin and went to the place where the ferry boat was moored, and after arriving, with the help of the staff, they came to the ferry boat through the air corridor.
The ferry, also known as the Earth-Moon spacecraft, can carry more than a hundred people, equivalent to the passenger capacity of a medium-sized passenger plane, and after everyone has arrived, it leaves the space station and flies to lunar orbit.
