Chapter 446: Of Course
The universe is basically dark, and those glowing stars don't provide much light to it, which makes the universe look a little lonely, empty, and cold.
But if you are close to a planet, especially a planet that is pregnant with life, you will realize that the universe is still very wonderful.
It was able to give birth to such a magical planet.
And Earth is such a lucky and magical planet.
While it is bathed in the sun's light, it is still revolving around the sun, and a small plane is also revolving around it.
What plane can now run into the Earth's near-earth orbit?
Of course, it is the X-YS01 air and space transport experimental aircraft of Arc Space.
"Arc tower, arc tower, here is X-YS01, we have successfully entered low earth orbit, the flight attitude is normal, the instrument readings are normal, the fuel is normal, the engine has been turned off, and we have started to fly around the orbit."
Li Xiaoning skillfully reported to the ground control tower.
"X-YS01, this is the ground tower, confirm that it is normal, and start the opening experiment of the cargo cover."
"Understood."
After Li Xiaoning finished answering, he turned his head to look at Zhu Heshu and said, "Heshu, you go to the connection port to pay attention to the actual opening, Zijian, you pay attention to the video image of the monitor, and I pay attention to the data prompt." We compare three parties to ensure that the hatch cover is opened. ”
"Understood." Both replied in unison.
And Zhu Heshu also opened his seat belt, and then walked to the back of the cockpit a little awkwardly.
It doesn't matter if he leaves, those who watched the live broadcast were shocked.
You must know that this is a full live broadcast, at the moment when Zhu Heshu unfastened his seat belt, the people in front of the live broadcast thought that he would float up, who would have thought that he would stand up like on the earth, and walk to the back of the cockpit.
"Wouldn't it?! Could it be artificial gravity? That's too advanced, isn't it? ”
"No way, although I admit that they are advanced, but they can't be advanced to this extent, right?"
"Could it be a strap that is fixed to the floor? It's the one with the feet wrapped around it in a fixed position, and I remember that there was one in the space station to prevent the astronauts from drifting around. ”
"Probably not, that's just a fixed role, you see that although he is a little uncomfortable, but he walks quite smoothly and not slowly."
"Ask the camera to change the perspective, change the perspective and let's see, this astronaut is about to step out of the camera perspective."
This sentence is like a big summoning technique, when Zhu Heshu was about to step out of the camera range, a picture of the driver's seat shooting backwards immediately came in, and it happened to shoot Zhu Heshu's back and the back of the cockpit.
The whole live broadcast, what is one less astronaut like, as for the cabin design and layout, you can watch it if you want to, and you can build it if you have the ability.
"Damn, merge screen again!"
"See, this astronaut has a blue indicator light on the heel, if I guess correctly, it should be a magnetic shoe."
"Magnetic shoes? Won't it affect electronic devices? Is the electromagnetic shielding done? ”
"Suffice it to say that their battery technology looks good, and they're really not afraid to waste electricity. Sure enough, if you can take off directly from the ground, you can do whatever you want...... The money saved is more than enough for electricity. ”
"Yes, in fact, it won't be much trouble to float around, magnetic shoes are too wasteful of energy, and a lot of other equipment needs to be added for this."
"With magnetic shoes, you can float if you want to, as long as you turn off the power, but sometimes it is convenient to be "down-to-earth", and it is more flexible to do things with magnetic shoes. ”
"Then why don't you use the ISS? Are there technical barriers? Or is it because it consumes too much electricity and can't afford it? ”
“…………”
"Huh? How can there be an ellipsis? It can't be someone from NASA watching the live stream, right? ”
“…………”
The screen turned into two screens again, and the people watching the live broadcast could basically see the whole picture of the cockpit.
Although the nature of the X-YS01 is similar to that of the Space Shuttle, the X-YS01 is very advanced.
Its cockpit does not have a full wall of buttons and displays, and all the operating equipment is integrated in this place in front of the pilot, similar to a large passenger aircraft, with the cockpit and the cargo compartment connecting to the rear behind, and there is a transitional airtight cabin, and the hatch has a window to see the operation of the cargo compartment.
And its hatch is not a small round door like a manhole cover, but a normal-sized door like a science fiction movie, Zhu Heshu walked to the door and pressed the door button, and the hatch slid open to one side.
After checking his spacesuit, he walked into the airtight cabin, and after the hatch closed, accompanied by the sound of depressurization and pumping, he came to the hatch window where the airtight cabin and the cargo compartment were connected and looked at the cargo hold, "I've arrived at the location, let's start." ”
"Okay, let's go."
Li Xiaoning pressed the corresponding button and said.
"The data shows that it is normal, and it is opening."
"The monitor is also normal, and it is coming."
"The visual is normal, and the lid of the cargo compartment opens smoothly."
The aerospace transport planes need to be experimented one by one, which is related to their second upgrade after returning to the ground and their next mission, so try to experiment everything that can be experimented.
Although the launch and flight costs of aerospace planes are much smaller than those of rockets, it is better to save one time.
The opening and closing of hatches, the rotation and operation of the four robotic arms, all kinds of changes are the same as those of Transformers.
After doing these large-scale tests, Zhu Heshu walked around the transport plane like an inspector, inspecting everywhere.
And this also went out with the live broadcast of the camera on his helmet, which made the audience watch it cool, and at the same time sighed that Arc Aerospace really dared to broadcast anything.
In fact, the member cabin in the nose is divided into three layers, the upper deck is the cockpit, the middle deck is the living cabin, and the lower deck is the instrument and equipment cabin.
Anyway, it's also a big guy of more than 70 meters, and there is still a place for this.
The crew cabin provides a spacious space for astronauts, and astronauts can wear ordinary ground clothes for work and life in the cabin, but they must wear spacesuits during take-off and landing, which is the standard for astronauts to have their lives exchanged.
The crew compartment life support system of the aerospace transport aircraft can generally accommodate 4~7 people for standard living, and can also accommodate 10 people for living and working in crowded situations.
Even in some emergency situations, the crew compartment life support system can accommodate up to 18 people and is possible without casualties when returning to the atmosphere.
The three of them are working seriously, and the friends who watch the live broadcast are also watching it quite seriously, even if there is a slight change on the screen, you can find the difference, after all, the number of people watching is really a bit much, and what you can't notice, others will pay attention to it for you.
"I see a bright spot, is it the International Space Station?"
"I also feel that it's getting bigger, and it's supposed to be the International Space Station."
"That's right, it's the International Space Station, and the space station track tracking app shows that its current location is here."
"Wow, can you fly over and wave to them? I really want to see it. ”
"Last time, when the "Falcon" class aerospace aircraft made its first test flight, I don't know if it was because of the angle problem or what, but it docked with the Tiangong-2 laboratory, and it seems that the International Space Station was not photographed. ”
"Yes, it was a pity that time, but I didn't expect us to see it this time."
"Beckon, say hello, and greet them on behalf of the people of China."
"Trouble! Trouble! Trouble! ”
"Pay attention to harmony, so many people are watching it, to ...... Say it quietly. ”
The live broadcast of the test flight is not only watched by netizens, but also by space agencies around the world.
What's more, many people who speak their own Chinese are also joining in the fun.
This group of people is really not a big deal to watch the excitement.
And the Arc Space Center is also paying attention to the live broadcast here, and the commander-in-chief Bai Hongxian saw this situation and didn't know what to do to look at Dong Chen, wanting to see what the chairman paid attention to.
As a middle-aged commander-in-chief, he is still very capable of doing things, and he does things according to the rules, but he is always almost 50 years old, and when he is old, he really doesn't understand the world of young people.
He also knows this, so he is constantly learning and trying to understand something new.
If Dong Chen wasn't here, he might have some intentions, but his duties as the commander-in-chief would definitely stop him.
But now that Dong Chen is here, just wait for Dong Chen's order.
"Live broadcast, the most important thing is to interact with the audience, otherwise there will be some live broadcast."
Dong Chen said as a matter of course.
