The speed of the shuttle is still accelerating, and the thinner the air, the faster it will be, but as the air gets thinner, the lift it can provide is insufficient.

The two astronauts kept staring at the data, and when all the data pointed to a predetermined value, the main pilot said, "Thrust six-six, engine full on!" ”

"Understood! Five or six engines start, thrust is fully open! ”

The co-pilot immediately took the order and turned on the last two engine switches, and the main driver also pushed the push rod to the top.

At this point, the six T-1 "dart" ringplug engines were at full thrust, and the thrust of 93.6 tons propelled the aircraft into space.

Due to the previous fuel consumption, the full weight of the 100-ton aircraft has been reduced to 90 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is more than 1, so it is completely fine to continue to accelerate the flight.

After the thrust was fully opened, Tang Chao could already feel the obvious pressure and vibration, but according to Werner's statement, this vibration and G-force were much more stable than the "iron can" spacecraft.

Tang Chao's personal feeling is similar, although it is not particularly comfortable, but at least it is almost the same as taking a plane, his current physical fitness represents an ordinary earthling, he can bear it, then the earthlings can also bear it.

Later, Werner told him that it had something to do with the fact that he was wearing a power spacesuit.

Because there is a cushion layer in this spacesuit, it can be regarded as further reducing the vibration, if it is just a general cabin spacesuit, the vibration that Tang Chao feels should be greater.

However, according to their experiments, this vibration and G-force are within the acceptable range of ordinary humans.

That's good.

It's good to be able to do this, but if you want to continue to improve your comfort, you need to do a complete technical upgrade, which is a real aerospace aircraft.

The annular engine is still a rocket engine, and once it is turned on, the fuel is consumed very quickly.

The shuttle vehicle has limited fuel storage, and there is not much time for them to think too much about the comfort factor, and only after the use of real aerospace engines and significant savings in fuel consumption in the atmosphere can the designers consider further comfort issues.

Just when Tang Chao was thinking about how long it would take to release the space vehicle after cutting a few waves of leeks, he suddenly felt that the G-force and vibration had disappeared, and the entire space seemed to be quiet.

I've become lighter, too.

No, it's not that it's lighter, it's that the shuttle is flying at the first cosmic speed, and he's weightless.

"Turn off the engine and enter inertial flight." The main driver said.

"Understood!"

The co-pilot did so, and clicked the six engines off in three steps.

"All engines are turned off."

The aircraft was still in the shadow of the star, and through the screen in front of him, Tang Chao could see the little lights below, and when he looked up at the viewing window, he saw the bright starry sky.

In the darkness and depth of space, the world of the sea of stars presents an unimaginable magnificence.

Countless stars converged into a starry sky river system that I don't know is as different as the Milky Way, and the location of the Kan Galaxy seems to be the edge of this river system, so Tang Chao can see that the "Milky Way" they converge into is as beautiful and vast as what you see on Earth.

Without the astigmatism of the atmosphere, he could see more beautiful things, the shining stars, like gems set in the starry sky map.

He could even feel that there were space nebulae composed of various colors of dust, gas, debris and other polymers in the middle of them, and these nebulae of different colors were also connected, and finally connected into various wonderful patterns.

"BOSS, we're already on the planet track, the driver has turned off the engine, you can unbuckle your seat belt, and the driver will help us put the seat flat so that we have more room to move."

Werner's voice made Tang Chao retract his shocked gaze, turned his head and replied, "No problem." ”

With that, he raised his floating hand and went to untie the floating seat belt.

"Click~"

The unfastened seat belt naturally floated to both sides, and his body naturally floated.

He didn't make a motion to stand up, it was just the result of his body touching the seat several times when he first unbuckled his seatbelt.

The action of force is reciprocal.

This law is vividly demonstrated in weightlessness.

As soon as he floated away from his seat, the seat began to slowly lay flat.

Ignoring the flat seat, he floated directly to the viewing window, gently grabbed the handrail by the window with his mechanical hand, and the first thing that caught his eye was a space station and a moon.

There is nothing to say about the moon, there are two moons in Kanxing, and this one should be the big one.

This space station is about to be talked about.

Werner had previously introduced him to the space station, which is currently the only space station on Cannes, and its positioning is similar to that of the International Space Station on the other side of the Earth.

But it's much bigger than the ISS, which weighs 1,200 tons, almost three times the mass of the ISS.

Moreover, it is "four generations in the same house", and the modules of the first, second, third and fourth generation space stations are integrated in this 1,200-ton mass.

Due to the previous "Cosmic Upgrade" event, all man-made equipment in the orbit and beyond of Kanxing was gone, and the little green men had to re-explore Kanxing and then return to space.

They first launched a 1.3-meter-diameter chamber for experiments.

This cabin seemed small to Tang Chao, but it was enough for a little green man who was less than 80 centimeters tall.

After the experiment was completed, the little green man launched two more identical models to form a small space station.

This kind of "multi-module, building block structure" is actually a bit like the third generation of the earth's space station, but Kanxing doesn't think so, and they are divided into generations according to the comprehensive state of size and structure.

After that, the cabin was upgraded to a diameter of 2.6 meters, and three more were launched, which were still building block structures.

Because they were progressing so fast, the previous small first-generation space station had not yet reached its design lifespan, so they put it together.

After that, the diameter of their space station module was upgraded to 3.9 meters, and several more were launched, joining the previous two generations.

At this time, the Kanxing space station is already very complicated, but the little green people still don't feel enough, and they want to add some more cabins.

Because the structure was somewhat unstable, they also installed trusses to fix the structure, and then added some large cabins with a diameter of 3.9 meters, which eventually formed this 1,200-ton super large space station.

They call it the fourth generation.

Now that he has arrived here, Tang Chao naturally has to go inside to have a look.

The 3.9-meter-diameter cabin is quite good, between the 3.35-meter-diameter Sky No. 1 and No. 2 laboratories on the other side of the earth and the official space station with a diameter of more than 4 meters, Tang Chao has no problem going in.

There are several domed pods in this space, and on the Earth side, this thing is an observation deck, but on the Kanxing side, this thing is a wheelhouse.

I don't know if the developers of the game were influenced by the cockpit of the old bomber, at that time the technology of various reconnaissance equipment was not developed, so it had to be observed with the naked eye, and then the transparent cockpit with an all-glass cover was created, so that the crew could observe most of the area.

However, he looked at several dome cabins and found that only one still had the bridge, and the others had been dismantled and turned into pure observation decks.

When he observed the night through the dome module, the sun of Kanxing rose right behind the star, which allowed him to see the spectacular scene of a sunrise in space.

He found that under the sunlight, the atmosphere that Kanxing could see with the naked eye was foggy, only a thin layer.

And the entire Kanxing civilization was born in that thin atmosphere, and now most of the little green people still live in that thin atmosphere.

He had seen this kind of sight on the Internet of the earth, and they humans were the same.

Although the location is different now, and the civilization on the planet is different, he can fly into space to see this kind of scene in person, he ...... I was full of emotion.

Whether it is the Earth or the planet, they are both large and support hundreds of millions of intelligent life.

At the same time, they are also very small, and their ecosphere is only such a thin layer from space.

He turned his head to look at the starry sky, the starry stars, the planets with the Kan system, and more often than not, the huge stars that were far away, or even the entire galaxy.

It's so huge, but it's just a small bright spot here.

It's embarrassing.

The little green man has long had an unwavering goal, which is to go to the bright starry sky.

At this moment, Tang Chao's goal is the same, firmer than ever, and the future of mankind is the same as that bright starry sky.

At this moment, his mind underwent some kind of metamorphosis that he did not know about. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
