Dong Chen looked at those people and turned his gaze out of the porthole, it really didn't mean that these people had never seen the world, at least the old Zhao next to him was the one who had definitely seen the world.

His personal experience is absolutely complete to 99.9% of the world's people, but the environment determines the height of vision, although many of them stand "in a high enough place", but obviously their altitude is not higher than the atmosphere.

Of course, the "height" referred to here is not something in the same field.

However, looking at their constant outward movements, they really have never seen such a scene, at least not in reality.

When the airliner takes off, they start to look out constantly, especially the passengers who are arranged near the window and are not affected by the wings.

At first they felt that everything on the ground was moving away quickly, and gradually they saw that everything on the land began to blur, only simple lines, and these things were so familiar, just like they used to feel when they were on a normal plane.

However, after passing through the clouds, the plane began to change, and the plane did not change to level flight, but still flew upward, and saw that the clouds were getting farther and farther away from them.

There are also those architectural marvels of human beings and the outline of the city, which are so small when viewed from the plane, that after reaching a certain height, they completely disappear, only the color of the green space, yellow sand, and blue sea of the earth itself.

When the airliner flew to the suborbital altitude, they could clearly see the arc of the earth with the naked eye, and the degree of curvature became greater and greater, and the "sky" they saw became darker and darker, until they felt that they were suddenly fluttering, that is, they had come to space.

Many people here have seen this process, but some people have seen it purely through online videos, while some people have watched the internal video of the space agency, and some people have also participated in the internal command of the space mission and watched the whole process of the video.

But today they experienced the process in a spacecraft, and it felt really different, especially the ordinary staff of the space agency who were the closest to space, but had no hope of coming to space.

There is also the space agency veteran sitting next to Dong Chen.

Zhao Gang sat in a window position, looked at the space outside the porthole for a while, turned his face back to Dong Chen, and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to come to space in my lifetime, I can say that I have worked behind the scenes of the aerospace department all my life, but I didn't expect that I could go to space when I was old, and it was a free flight thanks to your boy." ”

Dong Chen was still a little moved at the beginning, and felt that this big guy was not easy, so he issued such a life emotion, but before he was moved for two seconds, the plot was reversed.

So he was almost swept away by this turn, and said with a smile, "You are turning too fast, I thought you were going to talk about the philosophy of life, and I was about to write it down in a small notebook, but I didn't expect me to become a "boy". ”

"Haha, you kid," Zhao Gang pointed at Dong Chen happily, "What philosophy do you expect me to say, I am a military officer, and I am a big boss." ”

It can be seen that Zhao Gang is very happy to come to space, and he is just listening, but Dong Chen still said speechlessly: "You still reasoned with me before, and you want me to be a qualified chairman, don't I learn from you." ”

"It's for you to learn from us, it's not like I'm going to tell you anything on purpose, take the initiative to learn, just watch more." Zhao Gang calmly leaned back in his seat and said.

After speaking, he didn't care about Dong Chen's confused expression, but asked the middle-aged man sitting opposite him who was looking out the window and recording something in a notebook, "Xiao Yang, how is it?" Do you feel a difference? How is it different from the ship you're flying on? ”

Dong Chen saw that Zhao Gang had changed the topic, and he no longer planned to ask anything, but pouted and looked at that person.

This middle-aged man called "Xiao Yang" by Zhao Gang, Dong Chen knows, he is the current director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, he is the first astronaut in China to enter space before, and he is a very famous existence.

Although he later went behind the scenes, Dong Chen unexpectedly dealt with him a few times, because he had intersected with him when the Arc Group established Arc Space before.

At that time, Dong Chen followed several astronauts of arc space to the Huaguo Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center for exercises, and the Huaguo Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center is one of the main participating units of the national manned space project, which is under the management of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, and his office director is a person that Dong Chen must contact, and he often goes to the training center for meetings, and has met Dong Chen several times.

This time to inspect China's space industry and condolences to astronauts, he is indispensable.

He heard Zhao Gang ask himself, closed the notebook in his hand and said, "Old Zhao, the performance of this aerospace plane amazes me very much, the spaceship we took before did not have this kind of comfort, this is simply more comfortable than taking an ordinary passenger plane, we still need to learn more." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dong Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Dong Chen, your company's technology is really excellent, I think there can be more cooperation between us." ”

"No problem, our cooperation has always been pleasant, and it would be better to be more pleasant." Dong Chen said with a smile.

Seeing that the three bigwigs were chatting happily, the official sitting in the other seat also joined in, although Dong Chen didn't know him, but it didn't hinder the chat.

This time, Arc Aerospace dispatched two air and space passenger planes at one time, after all, there were 40 people this time, plus some people from the Arc Group, the number of people who wanted to go to space directly reached 53 people, and the passenger capacity of an air and space passenger plane was only 30 people, and it was not possible not to send two.

And the seats inside the airliner can also be rotated and adjusted, so that passengers can sit face-to-face, but because the airliner is going to rush out of the earth, the technology of its rotating seat is much higher than that of the bullet train high-speed rail, but like the seats on the bullet train high-speed rail, they generally do not rotate.

When the two planes approached the Tiangong space station, the passengers could already see the huge space station through the portholes, which could be described as "covering the sky and the sun".

Looking at those who waved to them through the viewing window of the space station, they realized that space travel that people had dreamed of was so simple and comfortable.

Of course, only Director Yang, who was sitting on the other side of Dong Chen, knew that this was not simple at all, and only those who had been in space on a manned spaceship could know the hardships of space flight.

The small, cramped space, the array of instruments, hand-operated joysticks, optical scopes, etc., and the need to put on a thick spacesuit and a helmet, there was no room for it.

During the flight, I have to endure a strong feeling of turbulence all the time, and whoever sits on it knows what it feels like.

This is still the feeling when riding a spaceship, and the rigorous selection and painful training before are even more unimaginable to ordinary people.

In contrast, Arc Space's technology omits all of this, which simply makes space tourism too comfortable.

Let him, an old astronaut who has been in space, want to cry happily.
