Chapter 487: Take off
Wang Qiu found that the progress of the induction training was very fast, and it only took one month for them to enter the low-gravity simulation training.
This training is really life-threatening, the heart is not strong and completely unbearable, the training is very terrifying, a plane takes people to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then dives vertically, all the way down, dives to the surface of the sea.
Rappelling 10,000 meters...... It's much more exciting than bungee jumping or something!
With the gradual deepening of the training, the personnel in the training class were constantly screened out, and in the training that challenged the limit, all the hearts that were not big enough were eliminated, and in the end, there were only a dozen or so people left in the whole class, all of whom were some guys who collapsed in front of Taishan and did not come suddenly without being surprised...... Well, silly audacity for short.
When all the training was basically completed, Wang Qiu and Song Shuhang became the first batch of selected personnel, Wang Qiu inquired and found that these people basically have various industry backgrounds, and some even graduated with a doctorate.
The dark web moves quickly, Wang Qiu and his party have just finished training, they received a notice to make the final preparations, Wang Qiu and the others each received a large amount of settling-in money, and were allowed to visit relatives for the last time, after the end of the ten-day vacation, they will be sent to the moon to perform a five-year lunar work.
The holiday passed in a flash, and when Wang Qiu stood on the training base again, he found that there were a few fewer people.
"It's a pity that a few people ignored the confidentiality agreement and leaked this training base and the moon landing intentionally or unintentionally, so they were removed, and I hope everyone will take this as a warning and don't make mistakes again." So said the instructor.
Wang Qiu counted, and now there were only eight people left.
"Good! Everybody come with me. The instructor led the remaining eight people on a seaplane and left the training base directly.
After more than a day of continuous flights, the seaplane landed near an unfamiliar island, very strangely, it was deserted and no one greeted them.
The instructor drove them in a rubber boat and led them to a small harbor, where they saw eight strangely shaped boats moored in the harbor, which were about twenty meters long, each with a dark body and a pointed and flat head.
"I've already taught you how to operate in the training, come, choose one by one, this is your car, it's your space shuttle, it's also your operation vehicle on the moon, your house, toilet or something, you have to rely on it to get on the moon, and you also have to rely on it to survive."
"Instructor, the driver's license for the space shuttle is so simple, I haven't flown it yet, so let's get on the road?" Song Shuhang suddenly burst out.
Hit the road...... It's so unlucky!
After listening to Squirrel Hang's words, Wang Qiu felt awkward in his heart, couldn't he use some good words? This is about to be the person who is going to fly the space shuttle, although it is the first time, but it is too taboo to use it on the road or something, it should be heaven......
In Wang Qiu's complaints, several people chose the space shuttle of the pigeon. Wang Qiu got into one of them, and he resolutely entered the space shuttle, and the lights automatically lit up inside.
The space inside was very small, Wang Qiu almost got into it, and when he got in, the door behind him automatically closed and merged into the wall, as if there had never been a door there.
Wang Qiu had just finished on the chair in the cockpit, and the surrounding lights dimmed at the same time, and the inner walls around him lit up one by one, and the screens lit up one after another.
Drip!
"The self-test is complete, the lunar spacecraft 3 is ready, please instruct!"
"Number 3! Please link to the Ground Command Center. Wang Qiu followed the operation steps during the training and operated step by step.
"Yes!"
"This is the command center, the signal is normal!" A screen flickered, and a globe with latitude and longitude appeared on the screen, and a small red dot on it kept flashing, which was the current location of Number 3.
"Prepare for your flight!" Command Center said.
"No. 3, start preparing for takeoff!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Qiu's seat began to change, and the back and armrests of the seat extended to form a standard full-coverage structure, which combined into a closed vesicle that completely wrapped Wang Qiu.
The vesicles were clinging to Wang Qiu's body, and the gentle pressure was directly on his skin, and through the helmet, it could be seen that in the corner of the cockpit, a screen was showing the appearance of the space shuttle, and at this time it was slowly deforming, turning itself into a take-off and taxiing state.
"Ready for the 3rd!"
Through the screen, it can be seen that the coach is standing on the shore to see them off, and several other space shuttles around them are also ready to take off.
"This is the command center, please light the engine and get ready for takeoff."
Wang Qiu noticed that a faint blue flame erupted from the tail of the No. 1 plane, which was leaning on the edge, and it was gliding away from the small bay like a speedboat under the thrust of the engine.
Immediately after, the No. 2 plane also slid out, and Wang Qiu hurriedly started his space shuttle and followed.
A group of eight space shuttles, the first time they left the harbor of mooring, came to the open sea, they lined up in a diagonal line, and gradually began to accelerate, the blue flames became stronger and stronger, and the powerful impact force boosted them, making these space shuttles faster and faster, gradually floating on the surface of the sea.
Wang Qiu stared at the speedometer closely, this was the first time he had actually driven a space shuttle, and it had been simulated training all the time, so it was impossible not to be nervous. But fortunately, there are assisted driving functions, and some small mistakes will be corrected.
Wang Qiu felt that the speed was almost over, and when he stepped on the accelerator suddenly, he felt a shock to his body, and the feeling of taking off spontaneously appeared, and the nose of the plane was quickly raised, and the height increased little by little.
On either side of him, several other space shuttles accompanied him, and although the blow was considered a novice rookie, it seemed that they all had to be decent, and there was no sudden drop of the chain.
The space shuttle, which broke away from the sea, began to change its external form, slowly changing from the form of a seaplane to the form of a fighter plane. In the cabin, Wang Qiu followed the instructions of the command center, constantly increasing his speed, and always maintained an acceleration of about two Gs.
At this time, there was clear pressure from the vesicles that wrapped around his body, and they were only wrapped around Wang Qiu's body, forming an average and comprehensive external pressure, helping Wang Qiu resist overload and making it easier for his blood to flow back to his heart.
The eight shuttles maintained a suitable distance from each other, forming a diagonal flight queue that climbed straight up at a fixed elevation angle.
Soon the height of the space shuttle exceeded 20,000 meters, and when you look out, there is a curved skyline under a sea of clouds, and the blue sea looms in the sea of clouds at your feet.
"Unit 3, please import data and switch to autopilot mode."
