Chapter 24: Simulation

Deng Lei spent several days carefully checking the information and deeds of Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company on the Internet, and analyzed his feasibility of becoming an astronaut.

As a pilot who can fly modern warplanes, he is also qualified as an engineer and has a lot of knowledge about astronautics.

Although Xinyuan Aerospace, as the first private aerospace company in China, is indeed very powerful, and has won tens of millions of commercial contracts, it seems that it does not have the strength of manned spaceflight.

But he is not a professional after all, and he is a little uncertain because of his nephew's words.

Until this day, the new Yuanguan he paid attention to posted new news.

Click in to see, it is the combined imagination of the Xinyuan-2 rocket and the H1 space shuttle, and the following is a simple introduction to the manned space program, including specific parameters and processes.

However, the following comments are not very popular, because this is not strong enough compared to the content posted by Lin Ju before.

As a private aerospace company, bragging about it is a traditional art.

In just half a month, Lin Ju has successively issued three plans for landing on the moon, one Mars city imagination plan, and two 10,000-ton space city imagination maps.

At first, it aroused a lot of heated discussions, but after all, he didn't have Ami's dog raising expenses, and it soon became dull.

Compared with manned spaceflight and the space shuttle, everyone just regarded it as another pie, and there was no movement after a few fans and enthusiasts discussed a few words.

But it's different for Deng Lei, he believes in his nephew's internal information, this may be a real project.

That night, Deng Lei called according to the number on the official website and asked if he was really recruiting astronauts.

The other side gave a positive answer, and then Deng Lei indicated his identity as an active instructor and his previous resume, and the voice on the other end of the phone immediately became respectful, and strongly invited him to the company for an interview, and all the food and accommodation along the way were reimbursed.

Deng Lei finally made up his mind, took advantage of his vacation, took a plane to Xinyuan City, and then was taken to the factory by special car.

It was Lin Ju himself who received him, and Deng Lei was not timid, and directly asked if the space shuttle was real and whether manned spaceflight was real.

In the face of doubts, Lin Ju didn't talk nonsense, and instead took him to an empty factory.

I saw a 1:1 wooden model nose of the H1 space shuttle in the open space, which was fixed on a hydraulic support.

Deng Lei could see at a glance that this was a flight simulator specially designed for training.

At this time, the simulator had just been completed, and two system engineers were setting the parameters.

The interior of the simulation chamber is completely restored according to the real situation, the original position of the window has been changed to a screen, and the operation instructions issued can also be fed back through the hydraulic system.

"Mr. Deng, this is the space shuttle you will fly in the future, neither the launch stage nor the space phase will require you to operate, only manual intervention will be required when returning from the atmosphere, I think you have sufficient experience."

Hearing that it was just a maneuvering landing in the atmosphere, Deng Lei had a strong confidence, it was difficult to say in space, but it was still very sure in the air.

"Chairman Lin, do you really want to build it in a year?"

"Of course it is, and it is absolutely necessary to send people to the sky within a year, of course, provided that no one has experimented and is absolutely sure, and you will never risk your lives."

Deng Lei sighed, and then walked to the simulation cabin and looked at the unfamiliar furnishings without speaking.

"Why don't you give it a try, it's an analog machine anyway."

Lin Ju interjected appropriately, pressed Deng Lei to his seat, and asked the system engineer to come forward to teach him how to operate without waiting for him to respond.

As soon as Deng Lei sat on the wide and thick space seat, he couldn't help but want to experience it for a while, and even the instruments around him looked very novel.

The engineer sat in the co-pilot guide, and this veteran pilot with 20 years of experience learned at an astonishing speed, and understood the basic operation in ten minutes.

"Mr. Deng, I will put the simulation capsule up immediately, and we will go through the process from launch to landing."

Deng Lei nodded, and then he felt that the direction of gravity slowly changed, and what he saw on the screen of the porthole also turned blue in the sky.

"Analog launch, 10,9 ......"

“3,2,1”

Although there is no realistic overweight, the combination of the screen and the hydraulic system creates the vibration of the rocket during launch, which still makes Deng Lei in the seat feel a tangible feeling, and his heartbeat is far beyond the level it should be.

The attitude of the simulation module was constantly changing, and even the inverted simulation simulated the heat barrier with the bottom diagonally facing forward, and after two minutes, the vibration stopped abruptly, and the porthole image became mostly black and a touch of bright blue.

Even though he knew it was fake, Deng Lei couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it, and raised his hand for several minutes before putting it down.

After floating in the simulated space environment for five minutes, the simulation module entered the landing session, and this time the engineer and the simulation module system continued to issue corrective instructions, guiding him to control the space shuttle to adjust its attitude and approach it like a simulated airport.

Although the hand was unfamiliar, Deng Lei still landed the plane steadily, and the system scored a high score of 97, which is completely excellent.

When he finally came out of the simulation module, he felt a little uncomfortable in his body, as if he had really come down from space, and he was reluctant to look at the simulation module.

Seeing this, Lin Ju secretly gave a thumbs up to the system engineer, and then officially invited Deng Lei to join.

This time Deng Lei no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as I can drive it to the sky, I can risk my life, but I have to be guaranteed...... Two years, two years in space! ”

Lin Ju smiled and agreed happily, this is nothing, it is not worth mentioning compared to the time limit of the system.

It also asked Deng Lei if there was a suitable candidate to continue to pull over, but was told that most of the pilots in the aviation school have been married for many years, and there are few people like him who are passionate about aerospace.

It's not that there are no young ones, but they are all active fighter pilots, and it is impossible to retire directly because of this.

Lin Ju was a little disappointed, but he felt that having him was already a good start, so he didn't force it anymore.

……

Back in the army, Deng Lei went to go through the retirement procedures.

Although it is the right time to retire as an older flight instructor at this time, as a recognized good player in the aviation school, everyone still regrets his retirement and asks him what he plans to do after retirement.

Deng Lei prevaricated with the reason of flying civil aviation, and successfully completed the procedures and demobilized a few days later.

One year is not a long time, and as soon as he arrives at the company, he will immediately enter intensive closed training to learn aerospace knowledge and master the performance and essentials of the space shuttle.

As for physical fitness, as long as the status quo is maintained, with his status as a special pilot, he is still in the prime of life at the age of forty.

Pilot & Commander, GET.
