"Hey, it seems that you really haven't flown this shuttle?"

"Yes, BOSS, this one has flown 16 times, and the one inside has flown 2 times, and it is guaranteed to be very safe."

Following Werner's mechanical fingers, Tang Chao did notice the difference between the two shuttles.

The place where they are now is the spacecraft hangar, with two shuttles parked on the left and a space shuttle under maintenance on the right.

Three space vehicles filled the hangar, and because of this, they wanted to expand the space center.

The two shuttles, the one that was close to them, although it had flown more than a dozen times, still looked clean, but its cleanliness was a little different from the one behind it.

Just like an airplane that has been out of the factory for three years but is well maintained and an airplane that has only flown once since it left the factory, that "clean" state is not a feeling.

The situation is indeed similar now, the one in front of me has flown a dozen times, and the one behind has only flown twice.

This time, Tang Chao took the initiative to ask: "Did there be any accidents during the test?" ”

"Hey, boss, you're right, you can tell from the number of this aircraft." Werner scratched his flat head with his mechanical hand and said with a grin.

"Number?"

Hearing this, Tang Chao walked to the side, looked at the number of this aircraft, and soon saw the word "02" on the side of the nose, and the word "03" on the back was also very clear.

“……”

He was speechless.

Why is "01" gone?

It must have fallen.

Soon, Werner confirmed his thoughts, and the "01" demonstrator did fall, and it was not the first test flight, but the sixth test flight.

That time I managed to go into space, and then I fell when I returned from outside the atmosphere.

For some unknown reason, the ship suddenly tumbled, and then the ship disintegrated.

If it was before, Tang Chao would definitely be shocked when he heard it, but now, he is as calm as a little green man.

No, the little green man is more bullish than him, and they may be a little more excited while they are calm.

Werner was happy when he said that, anyway.

A large piece of debris from the spaceship was scattered, but fortunately, the little green man was okay and managed to land with a parachute on his back.

The "01" verification machine disintegrated, and they built the "02" testing machine, which was amazing, except for the most open little fault, there was no accident, and it flew more than a dozen times, and went through all the modification and improvement processes.

The "03" in the back was the first production aircraft, and it has only flown twice so far, once with no load, once with a little green man pilot and a machine double in a spacesuit.

However, this is probably the last one, because this kind of flying machine is designed and built according to the specifications of the earth, and it is not suitable for the little green people in Kanxing, even if the little green people are wearing big mechas.

After looking at the appearance, Werner led Tang Chao into the cabin.

The last time Tang Chao came, he was just in time for the manufacture of the "01" engineering prototype, which had not yet been built at that time, and was equivalent to Mao P at most...... Rough room, and the current mass production machine is equivalent to fine decoration.

Due to the special structure of the wave-riding body of the shuttle, there is a lot of space on both sides of the cabin and the aircraft, which is full of equipment, so there is no way to install the hatch and porthole, so the hatch and porthole are installed above the aircraft.

Through a small covered bridge, they reached the hatch and stepped on the ladder to enter the shuttle.

Tuo Tangchao brought over the blessings of those science fiction movies, and because he participated in the cabin design, the feeling of the entire cabin is very in line with human aesthetics.

A large area of white is used in the cabin, which makes the whole look very simple and bright.

Tang Chao didn't let the little green people install too many luxurious things, since it was a mass production machine, he used a very simple design.

But simplicity is not the same as simplicity, a lot of white, a small amount of black and lines of collocation, coupled with the large viewing window at the top of the cabin and the design of the seats, make people feel like riding a sci-fi spaceship.

It's like a spaceship in a science fiction movie.

No, for Earth, this is a "science fiction spaceship".

The cabin is large, even with four seats, the seats are independent, and they can be laid flat to free up more space.

There are two large screens on the bulkhead at the very front of the cabin, as well as behind the two front seats, which have all the functions of a tablet and can also make video calls to the ground separately.

There is also wifi in the cabin, which can be done with your own mobile phone.

In the second transaction before, the launch vouchers Tang Chao got were used to do this, and when his satellites were in the sky, these could be realized.

In fact, the money he gets every time he trades is not much, and most of it is replaced by services, policies, resources and other things, many of which cannot be bought with money, or are very troublesome.

The outside of the shuttle is equipped with a camera, and passengers can see those scenes on this large screen, which is in a sense the equivalent of a porthole.

However, many people think that the picture displayed by electronic devices has no taste, and you must see it with your own eyes, especially when you are in space and still see it through the screen, which is too boring.

Therefore, there is a viewing window on the top of the cabin, and passengers will definitely gather next to it to watch the beauty of space.

After looking at the cabin, he went to look at the cockpit, and since the cockpit was at the front of the shuttle, the video portholes could still be installed.

There are a lot fewer physical buttons in the cockpit, but there are still dozens, and the others have been replaced by large screens.

The reason for removing a large part of the buttons is that the shuttle is so highly automated that it can fly without even an astronaut, but the cockpit remains on the shuttle and is piloted during commercial operation.

After all, it is used to carry tourists into space, and these tourists are just ordinary people, not professional astronauts.

Professional astronauts can give their lives to "tin cans", ordinary people cannot, and people's acceptance of unmanned cars is not high, let alone this kind of thing to go to space.

If you have a car accident on the road, you can still survive, and you can even sit on the side of the road and curse the street, but if you have an accident in space, it's really hard to say.

Can you live and put it aside, just that kind of helplessness, no up and down, and even can't stop spinning, the feeling of being surrounded by great fear is enough to scare ordinary people to death.

If there's a driver in the cockpit, even if the shuttle isn't controlled by the driver, it doesn't feel like anything else.

"The cost of training professional astronauts is higher than my value, not to mention a few ferry tickets, and being able to get them on shows that the aircraft is safe."

The average person would definitely think so.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Tang Chao would think so, but he still believes in scientific data, if the data can prove that it is so safe, he will have no problem.

Like now.

Listening to Werner's introduction and looking at various experimental data, he now has a feeling of eagerness to try.

The maximum unfolding diameter of the Double Star Gate is only ten meters, and the shuttle with a wingspan of 20 meters will definitely not be able to be transported to the earth.

He rejected the Kanxing iron can "spaceship" and the Kanxing replica space shuttle before, because those things were not for ordinary people, and now, all kinds of data show that the shuttle is very safe and suitable for ordinary people to ride, so he can't do it if he doesn't want to.

Werner obviously saw that Tang Chao's intention was moved, so he proposed: "BOSS, or ...... Get your feet wet? ”

It's one thing to think, it's another to be asked, so he hesitated a little again, "Is it appropriate?" ”

"Yes," Werner nodded, "I know what the boss is worried about, and if you're going to ride, we'll check both aircraft thoroughly." ”

"When the inspection is fine, you put on that powered spacesuit and fly on the No. 3 vehicle, and then the No. 2 vehicle will fly with you, and if there is any accident, you can be rescued immediately."
