Smart electric car speeding through a gravel road. Leaves behind puffs of smoke and dust.

Li Hao looked at the situation behind the car and said with emotion: "It seems that it is necessary to increase investment, at least harden this road surface." ”

Ma Yiming, general manager of the Space Exploration Group, sat next to him and replied with a frown: "Mr. Li, we also want to build the road as soon as possible, and the government has approved our road construction plan."

However, the construction of the road requires land expropriation, which is progressing very slowly, and we are entrusting the government to negotiate directly with the expropriated localities.

Some nail households, after hearing about the land requisition, their eyes were red. If they see the eagerness of our company, it will delay the progress of the project. ”

"It is still necessary to find a way to speed up the progress, and now that the airport is in the construction stage, there are not many material deliveries, and this kind of road can still be maintained.

When the space shuttle is officially put into operation, it will require a lot of materials, and it will not be able to afford this dirt road.

In addition, in the future, when satellites and other spacecraft are transported, their components are very delicate things. If it's bumpy damage due to road problems, it's not worth it at all. Li Hao grimaced and urged Ma Yiming.

"Mr. Li can rest assured that we will definitely complete the construction of the road as soon as possible." Ma Yiming immediately assured.

He thought to himself that he should urge the government to get serious. The means used are very numerous.

Li Hao suddenly felt a huge vibration from the smart electric vehicle.

He was curious about what was going on outside? You must know that the shock absorption system of smart electric vehicles is very good. The road conditions are not extremely complicated, and there will certainly not be such a big vibration.

He looked out the window and found that the smart electric car had just crossed a hurdle more than 30 centimeters high.

On one side of this hurdle is a dusty gravel road. The other side is a concrete floor made of high-hardness cement.

It is already within the boundaries of the space shuttle airfield and is one of the command centers of the space exploration group's space activities.

Li Hao and Ma Yiming came here today. It is because all the testing work of the space shuttle has been completed. Tomorrow will be the day of the official test flight of the space shuttle.

This is the initial stage of the space strategy envisioned by Li Hao. He has been working since the day he got the scientific and technological information of the alien civilization. Li Hao knew that his stage was not only on the earth, but the vastness of the universe could carry his ideals.

The vehicle quickly drove into a large complex of buildings, and Li Hao looked out the window, which was no longer as desolate as the first time he came.

The engineering mecha cooperates with various construction machinery, plus a professional construction team. Including the runway where the shuttle took off and the ground command center for aerospace engineering, the airport was built at a rapid pace.

As soon as Ma Yiming got out of the car, he asked Li Hao: "Mr. Li, let's go to watch the selection of astronauts, the ground command system of the airport, or go to see the space shuttle that has been assembled." ”

"Let's first go to see how to select astronauts, and then look at the ground intelligence system, today's time is about the same.

Wait until tomorrow before the test flight of the space shuttle, when it will be overhauled for the last time. I'll visit the space shuttle again.

Don't bother the shuttle team now, let the engineers concentrate on testing the shuttle's data. Li Hao thought about it and commanded Ma Yiming.

Ma Yiming nodded after hearing this, and looked ahead in a daze.

He is looking at where the astronaut selection address is from the cloud intelligence platform.

Ma Yiming's expression quickly returned to normal, and said to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, the place where the astronauts are selected is not far from us, let's go over and take a look." ”

Li Hao and Ma Yiming walked together to the place where the astronauts were selected.

On the way, Li Hao asked Ma Yiming: "Manager Ma, tomorrow the space shuttle will have a test flight, and it will fly out of the atmosphere for the first time."

Do I need to carry an astronaut in this case? Isn't it too late for you to start selecting astronauts now? ”

Li Hao thought of the astronaut selection, he had some doubts in his heart, and the tone of his voice also had a questioning meaning.

If you carry astronauts to space the first time, it is not a safety issue.

It is the quality of the personnel, the astronauts who have just been selected and have not been trained. They go to heaven just as a mascot to travel to space for a short time.

They are private capital companies, involved in space activities, in addition to ideals. The biggest motivation is to bring huge benefits.

This is not the same as the state, which is for the sake of fame, or for the sake of showing its achievements. Regardless of the cost, astronauts can be sent to the sky for travel.

The potential benefits of this far outweigh the cost of astronaut travel. But they are private companies that do not need and cannot reap this potential benefit. There is no need for astronauts to travel around the sky.

"How can it be possible to carry astronauts for the first time, even if the old cow is confident, it can't be. Our first test flight of the space shuttle was done internally by a robotic astronaut.

The safety performance of the space shuttle is that it is designed very well on paper, but without experiments, no one knows what will happen.

Even the space shuttle is not under our control. Directly detached from the gravitational pull of the earth and wandering around the universe, I am not surprised at all.

We selected astronauts this time in order to enable astronauts to participate in future space activities.

After all, space activities only use robots, so some data cannot be collected at all. In future space activities, astronauts must be used to complete certain tasks. Ma Yiming heard the change in Li Hao's tone, and he immediately explained in detail.

Li Hao was very satisfied with Ma Yiming's answer and did not continue to ask questions.

They went to the room where the astronauts were selected, and saw that the security guards using the reinforcement fluid were lining up to enter a high-speed rotating experience capsule to experience the increasing acceleration. This is to experience the acceleration generated during the rapid movement of the space shuttle.

Gundam, who was in charge of the selection of astronauts, saw Li Hao come in, and he immediately came over and said: "Mr. Li, our astronauts are about to complete the selection, and we have carried out the last item, selecting people who can withstand more than 10g as reserve astronauts." ”

When Li Hao heard Gundam's words, he was very puzzled. He knows the criteria for the selection of astronauts by the state, and he can be memorized by reciting the general rules for the selection of astronauts.

Space activities require astronauts to have strong bodies to withstand all kinds of harsh environmental conditions; Have good psychological qualities to master complex operational skills and cope with unexpected situations;

Have a high level of education to explore the experience of manned spaceflight; There is a noble dedication to adapt to space exploration activities.

To put it simply, it is good physical and mental fitness. The learning ability is fast and can be proficient in operating various equipment.

Unexpectedly, they chose astronauts and asked astronauts to withstand 10g acceleration. This is far greater than the adaptation of mainstream astronauts to acceleration in the world.

In the past, the equipment was not advanced, and the acceleration of the spacecraft could reach 3~5 g. If you want to go to space, you must go through thousands of selections, and your physique is extremely good.

Now the average spacecraft only needs 2~3 g. A normal person's body can withstand it, which is one of the reasons why female astronauts are now appearing.

Li Hao turned his head to Ma Yiming and asked: "Manager Ma, I remember that the acceleration generated by the ion electric propulsion engine is not too large, why do you need astronauts to bear more than ten g of acceleration." ”

When Gouda heard this question, he preemptively explained: "Mr. Li, you are wrong. We use the space shuttle, and it produces acceleration within two g.

The reason why we require astronauts to withstand acceleration of more than 10 g. It is hoped that the space shuttle will have an accident and fall to the earth at a high speed. Astronauts can survive the extreme situation of falling at high speeds. ”

Ma Yiming also explained: "Our space shuttle uses new materials. Even if it is an accident, it will also ensure the integrity of the entire space shuttle. There is also a safety capsule inside, which is enough to ensure the safety of astronauts.

As long as it is not impacted by an asteroid, it will not disintegrate directly in the air under normal circumstances.

In the event of an accident landing, there are also emergency safety measures. Even if it is after falling at high speed and hitting the ground violently. The energy released by the impact and the vibrations generated by the impact are also cleverly avoided by the safety equipment.

But the only thing that the shuttle can't guarantee is when it returns to the atmosphere. The powertrain malfunctioned and could not brake in the atmosphere. In this way, the shuttle will descend sharply.

In this case, the space shuttle will produce extremely high gravitational acceleration, and the average human body cannot withstand such a huge acceleration. ”

"It turns out that this is the case, which can increase the survivability of astronauts as much as possible, and this design is very user-friendly. It is also of great benefit to our company and can also reduce the psychological resistance of astronauts. Li Hao appreciated.

Every time the company trains an astronaut, it needs to pay a huge cost. The cost incurred is several times the weight of an astronaut, the value of gold for the same weight.

As an astronaut who has been on many missions, his own experience is invaluable.

Li Hao: They continued to watch the selection process of astronauts. These people use fortified fluids and clearly do not reach their limits. Of the hundreds of people, only 33 passed the selection.

Gundam asked the prospective astronauts who had passed the test to line up and said to them, "You have received the company's most advanced training model, and you all know the company's dedication to you."

The Strength Booster needs to be used continuously to be effective, and once the drug is stopped, the cells return to normal levels. You can also learn the value of these potions.

The company also pays each of you a high salary and arranges for your wife's working children to go to school, so that you can live happily together. And introduce people who are single.

Now is the time when the company needs you, don't think that you will become a qualified astronaut by passing the assessment.

You still have a lot of knowledge to learn, and you have to repay the company through your own hard work. ”

After Gundam finished speaking, he walked up to Li Hao and said, "Mr. Li, the company's reserve astronauts have been selected. It just so happens that you come to the scene and encourage them a lot. ”

Li Hao nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”

He walked to the front of the reserve astronaut team, looked them in the eye, and began his speech.
