Not long after the launch vehicle rose into the sky, a faint white mist suddenly appeared at the top, like a cloud ring, spreading out and disappearing in all directions.

It was the effect of breaking the sound barrier, and the cracking of the sonic boom was directly drowned out by the thunderous roar of the rocket engine.

Driven by the powerful impetus of the chemical rocket engine, the cone-shaped tip of the launch vehicle with a heat-insulating tile does not care about the air in front of it, and distorts to form a translucent pitch shock, as if space is also distorted.

The high-speed friction of the air quickly formed an extremely alarming high temperature at the top of the cone, and the thermal insulation material vaporized rapidly, disintegrating layer by layer, taking away a large amount of high temperature, and the rocket pierced the atmosphere in a brutal and domineering manner, shooting straight into the blue sky at the first cosmic speed.

Maybe it will only take ten minutes or so, section 847 - come on! After the interceptor rocket releases the astonishing mass of chemical propulsion fuel, it can smoothly send the heavy carrier module on top into high orbit in outer space, and fly to the pre-set coordinates of the assembly space through small propulsion engines.

"Buzhou Mountain, it's like a dream, how could the superiors start the Buzhou Mountain plan so quickly, I always thought it was a model stored in the exhibition hall, but I didn't expect that in our lifetime, we would have the opportunity to watch it take off, maybe be able to board it, and personally maintain and operate this unprecedented high-orbit air and sky port."

Meng Yinan muttered to himself, still staring at the launch vehicle that turned into a small dot and quickly disappeared from view.

As the well-informed Wang Xueping revealed in a small area some time ago, the Ministry of Aerospace suddenly announced the launch of the "Buzhou Mountain" space development plan internally, unexpectedly. The construction of an unprecedented large space port in a high space orbit outside the Earth's atmosphere, and not yet known as a space station, began.

Wang Xueping looked at the faint sound of rolling thunder in the sky, and said with emotion: "It is no longer like in the past that only two or three people can be sent to launch each batch, and the large-scale delivery technology of the national aerospace industry has broken through several extremely heavy 847 knots - come on!" The key is that the overall technology is rapidly improving and maturing, so the newly built Buzhoushan Air and Space Port, which has been shelved for a while, needs many astronauts to build and maintain, and the previous astronauts have confirmed the list of liftoffs. Now the training center has increased the training density and subjects, which proves that our astronauts also have a great chance to land at the air and space port in a short time. ”

As long as you are willing to inquire in the space training center, it is easy to ask for some important information with the authority of an astronaut.

Because the United States, one of the members of the International Space Station in low-earth orbit about 330 kilometers above the ground, has rejected China's entry into the National Space Station program. It also severely restricts the transfer of space technology, excluding China from the International Space Station, which is being developed by 16 countries, including the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and ESA (11 countries).

The Chinese can only rely on backward technology provided privately by Russia, and rely on their own scientists and technical funds. We will be brave enough to build China's own aerospace technology.

Hearing Wang Xuejun's words, Wei Yunyi looked at the already empty launch pad, and seemed to be muttering to herself: "It's like a dream!" Did it get alien technology on it? It's so surprising how the 'Buzhou Mountain' plan was suddenly launched. ”

"Maybe it's just a chance to get something, I heard that it is a major breakthrough in materials science, which has promoted the progress of many key core technologies, and now the so-called technological development is actually just a helpless compromise and trick for materials that cannot meet the requirements, when the emergence of new materials, the original technical bottleneck will no longer exist."

Don't look at Wang Xuejun as the youngest astronaut in this class, but he is not only well-informed. And under the deliberate cultivation since childhood, the level of knowledge is not low, otherwise he would not have come to participate in the selection of astronauts at such a young age.

In fact, China's aerospace science and technology has already developed to a certain bottleneck, and legend has it that it is stuck in the most basic materials science of the aerospace industry, which is not close to the point of a kick in the door. As long as you cross this hurdle, you can go a long way.

Although I don't know where this precious opportunity came from, all the astronauts have already felt that the country's aerospace technology seems to have climbed a huge step and entered a new world.

This does not seem to be a kick in the door, but the use of C-4 blasting technology, directly and brutally blasted open the solid door, and Aerospace Technology has leapt into a new technical level with a strong collective in full bloom. And it has been achieved by leaps and bounds.

"If only the boss were still around, maybe he could become an astronaut now and board the space port with us."

Meng Yinan remembered a boss who had covered him and helped him a lot, and his skillful and ferocious air combat skills made him admire it to the core.

"Lin Mo? Number 1? Wang Xuejun's face changed, and he realized who Meng Yinan was referring to, and suddenly his tense muscles relaxed, and he exhaled a long breath, and said with some regret: "With the current aerospace technology, the reason for eliminating him at the beginning no longer exists, but he has missed it." ”

Although he was once unconvinced, he still had to admit that Lin Mo, who was eliminated in the last link, was actually the most suitable person to be an astronaut in their session.

The original reason for elimination surprised everyone, the space carrying capacity at that time could not support Lin Mo's material consumption alone, although the results belonged to one of the best candidates, but it could only be a pity to be different from these people who stayed to become astronauts.

"What a shame!"

Wei Yunyi nodded, with deep regret in her tone.

The times create heroes, this time and that time.

Qi Ping and other astronauts of the same period invariably had the same expression, they had been in the training center for so long, and they knew the history of some astronauts more or less, and Lin Mo was the only one who missed the great opportunity.

On China's road to the sky, due to various technical reasons, there are still few old-timers who have no choice but to waste their youth, and how many of them have not even touched the edge of space until they retire.

Generations of astronauts who have received all kinds of rigorous training and dedicated themselves to the country's aerospace industry, are always ready without regrets, and are waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and in the end can only retire in disgrace.

The older generation of astronauts did not pay and wait for this in vain.

Now the country has finally overcome all the difficulties, and everything has been prepared for this, so that the astronauts will no longer waste their precious youth.

After most of these or that roadblocks no longer exist, the Chinese want to build not a space station, but a real sky port, a space artificial object that is larger and more comprehensive than the space station, in order to officially go to the starting point of space.

The space port can accommodate more Chinese astronauts to study the mysteries of outer space, carry out various space experiments, and make great strides to catch up with the space science and technology gap with the United States and Russia.

"No, I'm sure the boss will be able to board the Sky Harbor! I heard that foreigners can go to space as long as they spend a sum of money, and I can save money for the boss to make up the passage expenses of the air and sky port. ”

Compared with others' pity and sympathy for Lin Mo, Meng Yinan couldn't see such a look on his face, he was full of confidence in Lin Mo, this unprecedented space milestone in human history, how could the boss be missing, he was willing to share it with the boss.

The cost of sending an astronaut into space is not low, and although the cost is high, it is nothing in terms of the country's financial and material resources.

If you pay for it yourself, maybe the threshold will be lowered a lot, but the cost of the quotation will definitely not be much lower than the actual cost of the state expenditure, and it is possible to even double or ten times the cost.

Although Meng Yinan's idea is too whimsical, but with astronauts within the system taking the lead, the door may not be completely closed, as long as it is approved by the superiors, it means that there is still a glimmer of possibility.

Meng Yinan also has some confidence when he thinks of this method, the salary of astronauts is not low at all, as long as he saves a few more years and borrows some more, the cost of liftoff will be reduced a lot at that time, and this seemingly bold idea may be realized.

"Haha, that's a good idea, count me in!"

Wei Yunyi walked up to Meng Yinan and stretched out her palm, no matter what, she admired Meng Yinan's idea very much, and was willing to help it.

Plant beans and get beans, plant melons and get melons, Lin Mo is also a candidate with good popularity and prestige in this astronaut selection process, and now he can even find two astronauts who are willing to go crazy with him.

"Thank you!" Meng Yinan's face flushed with a faint flush, nodded vigorously, and pressed Wei Yunyi's palm without any pretension.

One man is short, and the two are long, with Wei Yunyi joining, the distance from this space ticket must be shorter.

"How can this kind of good deed be missing me, and count me as one!"

Qi Ping leaned over and pressed the back of Meng Yinan's hand with one hand, maybe his relationship with Lin Mo was not as deep as Meng Yinan, but he was also unwilling to let an excellent astronaut miss such a grand event.

In the simulated air combat practice of astronaut selection and training, Lin Mo did not hide his courage to share his valuable air combat skills and experience with everyone, which won him the favor of many people.

"Well said, count me in!"

"And me!"

"Sounds interesting, I'll participate too!"

"There is great strength in numbers, let's take No. 1 (Lin Mo) to the sky together!"

"Haha, upstairs! Seconded and seconded...... Wang Xuejun saw that other astronauts expressed their willingness to join Meng Yinan's absurd idea, and he was not too detached from the masses, but now Lin Mo and him are no longer in a competitive relationship, it is better to sell personal favors along the river.

With so many people participating, even if it is a large amount of money, it will only be a small amount of money at most, and maybe the country will look at the face of the former candidate and give a discount.

Anyway, Wang Xuejun also walked up, pressed his hand up, and said loudly: "I'll come too!" ”

Meng Yinan, Wei Yunyi and the others watched, and the guy who used to like to go toe-to-toe with Lin Mo joined in, smiled at each other, and shouted in unison: "Come on!" ”

"Come on...... Renew your commuter pass! More monthly passes! rs！！！
