Chapter 520: Happy as a child
"Dear passengers, the flight HG00001 from the Arc Space Center to the Xintiangong space station that you took is now starting to board."
"Please bring your belongings to Gate 1 to prepare for boarding, please take off your sunglasses for pupil scanning and facial recognition at the automatic ticket gate."
"On the plane, our flight attendants will introduce you to the relevant space knowledge and wish you a pleasant trip."
"Dear travelers, you ......"
As a pleasant boarding prompt sounded in the waiting room, Dong Chen and twenty-nine passengers walked to Gate 1 to board the plane, and did as required in the body prompt.
Except for Dong Chen, the others behaved just like they had taken a plane for the first time, and they were even more excited and nervous than they were at the beginning.
Moreover, the waiting room of the aerospace aircraft is still a little different from the waiting room of the aircraft in the atmosphere, the technology content is very high, and it will be more convenient after getting used to it, but it is still a little unaccustomed to the first use.
Who would have thought that at the beginning of the 21st century, there would be a flight lounge on Earth for flights to space, and while other countries were still trying to find a way to break through the atmosphere, arc space flight did just that.
And it's not the kind of model like a show, it's a real model that can go to space with space equipment like an ordinary airplane.
The internal structure and layout of the aerospace airliner are similar to those decorations of ordinary airliners, and there are also beautiful flight attendants to welcome them at the hatch, but there are fewer seats and the relative places are a little more spacious.
However, its overall design is more sci-fi, and there are some special designs made to deal with weightless environments, which can clearly feel different from ordinary aircraft, and more tall.
The usual group of bigwigs are now looking around in the cabin like a group of curious babies, but they still find their seats according to the seat information on their mobile phones, and then fasten their seat belts and start waiting for takeoff.
"Find a seat" and "Fasten up the full belt", this is also the only thing that Arc Aerospace tells them.
Because Arc Space didn't tell them anything other than "how to do it on an ordinary plane, how to do it on an aerospace airliner", nothing else told them.
They are ordinary people who have no space training at all, that is, three hours before getting on the plane, a simple physical examination project was carried out, and it was determined that their physical condition was okay and they could take the airliner to space.
Other than that, at most, I just read a few more pages of the brochure, and there are some small things on it.
This is also deliberately done by Arc Spaceflight, because the space flight of Arc Space is similar to an ordinary flight, even ordinary people who don't know anything can take it, and there will be no danger.
Dong Chen, as a participant in the design of the aerospace aircraft, and he was originally the big boss of arc aerospace, and he has been to space many times openly and secretly, and he knows a lot more than these people.
Looking at Said, who sat down and looked around without wearing a seat belt, Dong Chen pressed his head and pressed it directly to the seat and said, "Don't look around, fasten your seat belt first, there will naturally be a flight attendant to introduce the situation to you later, and let you see enough when you get to space." ”
"Although this plane feels similar to an ordinary plane, but it is an aerospace plane, the speed is not comparable to that of ordinary aircraft, and the destination is still space, so you can be honest with me."
Said was pressed to the seat by Dong Chen, feeling very faceless.
On the opposite side of his aisle was a young lady, and after he found out, he immediately restrained his movements to show the dignity of the royal family, but before he could sit down, Dong Chen was destroyed at once.
So he turned his head and whispered to Dong Chen, "Hey, Dong, there are still ladies here, can't you save me some face?" ”
Dong Chen didn't look at him, fastened his seat belt and said, "If you don't look around, you will have a lot of face, by the way, I remind you that there is also a lady sitting behind you." ”
“……”
Prince Said, who had nothing to say, was immediately honest, fastened his seat belt and began to wait for takeoff.
After waiting for the cabin door to close for a while, there was indeed a flight attendant introduction session that Dong Chen said, mainly to introduce some of the instructions for the plane during the flight and after arriving in space, and also introduced one of their main equipment, that is, the electromagnetic shoes they are wearing on their feet now.
They were introduced to the use of electromagnetic shoes, and let them install the magnetic switch APP of the shoes on their mobile phones, so that it was more convenient to control the magnetic switch of the shoes.
By the way, you can also use this mobile phone in an aerospace aircraft throughout the whole process, and it also provides high-speed IFI services, but it is only useful when flying in the atmosphere, and it cannot be used after it is in space orbit.
Arc Space claims to have begun to develop the corresponding technology, so that passengers can freely use mobile phones in space in the near future.
The electromagnetic shoes on their feet are what they have already bought, they are all local tyrants, and they don't care about these tens of thousands of meters.
And arc aerospace also has another kind of "electromagnetic shoes", which are used for rent, the kind of shoes that are said to be shoes, in fact, they are an electromagnetic device stuck in the sole, which can make ordinary shoes become electromagnetic shoes, but there is always some inconvenience in the bottom of the sole.
However, this "electromagnetic sole" also solves the problem that some people don't want to wear shoes that others have worn, even if the shoes will be sterilized and very clean.
But now these bigwigs don't care about this, just buy a pair of special electromagnetic shoes that fit very well.
When the flight attendants introduced them, the first flight of the space plane on earth took off normally, and they were extremely excited to feel the same take-off push back feeling as an ordinary plane.
The aerospace plane has been accelerating, but the advanced life-sustaining equipment has made them not feel too much G-force, that is, the push back feeling they feel, and even after reaching a certain altitude, the push back feeling they feel is smaller than the push back feeling of the plane taking off, but this push back feeling has always existed and has not disappeared.
However, it didn't take long, and after feeling the plane shake slightly for a while, they felt their bodies suddenly lighter.
They have seen this feeling in many literary works, film and television works, and even the flight attendant introduced this situation to them before taking off just now.
This means that they are weightless.
It means they're in the space they've always dreamed of.
Feeling that her body had become unusually light, the hair of the lady with long hair was floating, even blocking the view of the man sitting next to her, but the man was not only not frightened, but laughed and said, "Hey, Miss Mermaid, your hair is floating." ”
This is clearly someone who followed the last live stream of the interactive event.
When he smiled, the whole cabin cheered, because they were experiencing a miracle, they were going through a very important history, and they were experiencing the future.
"Haha, God, I can't believe it! Guys, we're in space! ”
"I'm going to pat my hair off, it's evidence that I'm weightless!"
"Praise the Lord, praise the arc spaceflight, let me realize this wish ahead of schedule."
"Yes, we're in space, and I've been thinking about this day for a long time."
"It's fun, I'm fluttering......"
"Ah, I flew!"
While they were cheering, the voice of a flight attendant sounded in the cabin, indicating that the plane would circle the orbit twice, that is, stay for three hours, and passengers would be free to move around for an hour and a half.
During this time, passengers can unbuckle their seat belts, watch the earth from the window, turn off their electromagnetic shoes to experience weightlessness, take photos, and even make video calls with friends on the ground, but only through the video call devices in the four corners of the cabin.
But this has also made everyone overjoyed for the tourists, they didn't know in advance that there was such a service, in order to surprise them, Arc Aerospace has done a lot of secrecy measures.
Even before boarding, they were only told two things.
And this time there was no live broadcast of the whole process, only the big guy in the early stage walked the red carpet and was interviewed for live broadcast.
The following items will also be recorded using drones, but they will not be live-streamed, but will be edited after the tour is completed, and then announced as a recorded video with the permission of the passengers.
The gang felt that the video call was much more powerful than just bringing back photos, with each screen facing the opposite row of portholes, and the portholes were ...... It's the beautiful earth.
