Chapter 117 Manned Spaceflight III
Zhu Lei looked at the time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was less than an hour before the first manned spaceflight flew into the sky, and he got up and walked towards the astronauts' temporary lounge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he walked to the astronaut lounge, Zhu Lei saw that Chen Jian was just holding Yao Yanan's hand and saying something, and Yao Yanan was lowering his head and his face was flushed at this time, and he was at a loss.
They were all startled when they saw Zhu Lei walk in, and then hurriedly let go of their respective hands and said to Zhu Lei; "Hello sir."
"Looks like I'm here at the wrong time!" Zhu Lei touched his nose and said embarrassedly.
"Sir! We~! Yao Yanan said.
"Huh! There's nothing to be embarrassed about, just as the so-called men should get married and women get married, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm here to ask how you're ready, there's less than an hour left before manned spaceflight. Zhu Lei said,
"Sir, we're ready, and we're confident we'll get the job done." Chen Jiangang replied.
"It's good to be confident, this manned space flight is very important for both the empire and the entire human race, it is the first time that mankind has set foot in space, if it fails, I won't say much about yourself, I think you must know the consequences, and the blow to the human aerospace industry will definitely be very heavy, so you must be up to the twelve." Zhu Lei said.
"Yes sir! We'll do our best. Chen Jiangang said.
"That's fine! The family has explained everything! After all, this is the first time that mankind has spaceflight, and any difficulties may be encountered, so your family must explain it well. Zhu Lei looked at them and said.
"Yes, sir, our family has already explained it, and we have already written a suicide note, if there is really any accident, the director of the astronaut training center will give the suicide note to my family, sir, don't worry." Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan replied at the same time.
"Okay! You guys prepare first, the first manned space flight of mankind is about to begin, okay, I won't bother you. With that, he walked out of the astronauts' lounge.
Soon it was time to take off, and the astronauts were already on board the spacecraft.
At this time, Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan were wearing exoskeleton armor and sitting quietly on the Suzaku No. 1 to make the final preparations before takeoff, in fact, the two of them looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, the two of them were also a little nervous, after all, this was the first time in human history to spaceflight, so anyone would be nervous.
Soon it was time for takeoff.
"Prepare for takeoff! Start the aircraft self-test program! Then the voice of the tower was heard.
"The self-test procedure has been opened. Everything is normal with the aircraft, and Suzaku 1 requests to take off. Chen Jiangang replied.
"Permission to take off."
Since this flight is manned, there is no need to read the countdown, so it is just like the usual take-off of an airplane.
The sound of stopping at the tower Chen Jian just turned on the engine of the aircraft, and as the engine of the aircraft was turned on, the aircraft also began to taxi forward.
As the speed of the aircraft became faster and faster, he began to pull up the aircraft, and also increased the output power of the engine, and the aircraft quickly left the ground.
In less than a minute after leaving the ground, Suzaku 1 has reached an altitude of 10,000 meters, at this time Suzaku 1 has already broken through the speed of sound, and the speed at this time has reached three times the speed of sound, because it is manned spaceflight The acceleration of the aircraft at this time is still relatively slow, and it is not as violent as the acceleration when unmanned flight, but the aircraft at this time is still continuing to accelerate.
By the time they reached more than 30,000 meters, Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan, who were on the aircraft, could already clearly see that the outline of the earth was becoming more and more obvious.
The color of the sky began to darken, and even in broad daylight, you could faintly see the stars in the sky.
When the aircraft reached forty kilometers above the ground, Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan had already clearly felt that the weight had begun to change, and the speed of the aircraft at this time had also reached the first cosmic speed, and the starlight in the sky could already be clearly seen.
At this time, the acceleration speed of the aircraft had already exceeded two Gs, but for Chen Jiangang, who was already in the innate stage, the two of them were only a little adapted.
Although theoretically speaking, wearing exoskeleton armor is accelerating their own physical fitness, and their limit can mature the acceleration speed of twenty G, but this is a theoretical speed after all, plus this is the first manned spaceflight of mankind, so it is better to be safe, if the astronauts on the aircraft have problems, they can return immediately, after all, this is an aerospace vehicle, and they can return immediately when the astronaut's body has problems.
If you return home, the actual loss is only the loss of the aircraft itself and a little bit of energy, if it is a traditional rocket, then you can only weigh yourself in the past or wait for death. If you want to go back, don't even think about it.
At this time, the voice of the control tower inside was heard from the announcement of the aircraft: "The acceleration phase is over, and now the orbit correction phase has begun." ”
With the end of the acceleration stage, Chen Jiangang and Yao Yanan had time to pay attention to the situation outside Suzaku No. 1, and when they saw the situation outside, they were all stunned by the scenery outside, and they couldn't speak for a while, until the sound of the ground tower came from the radio, and they came back to their senses.
"Suzaku One, Suzaku One, please report the current condition of the aircraft."
"Suzaku No. 1 heard it, and the aircraft is in good condition." Chen Jiangang replied.
After answering, he turned his gaze to the window of the aircraft, looking at the scene of the earth at this time, their hearts were very shocked, although in the past, there were often scenes in space on TV or movies.
But this is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes, and only after seeing it with your own eyes will you feel the shock in your heart, and only then will you understand the greatness of the earth.
The blue ocean, the yellow-brown and green intertwined earth, the white clouds, and the plateau desert can be seen clearly, and soon they will arrive at the area covered by the earth, this is the night on the earth, some places are completely in darkness, and some places are light, this is human civilization.
"Suzaku 1 orbit correction has been completed, and the request to start the second acceleration has begun." After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Jiangang contacted the ground tower to request that the track correction had been completed.
"Track correction complete. Acceleration is permitted. An answer came from the ground tower.
Hearing the sound from the ground tower, he re-ignited the aircraft and began to accelerate a second time.
