September 10, Astronaut Training Center.

Aerospace hero Deng Lei was eating with the aerospace team in the cafeteria when he suddenly received a phone call.

"Hello? Aunt Li, introduce a girl to me? What day of the week? Next Thursday, I'm not available next Thursday, not Wednesday.

Hey, yes, I have another mission on the 17th, sending five astronauts to the International Space Station, one Amis guy, two European, one Lucia and one Kazakh.

Is it okay to meet on the 19th? Well, okay, okay, thank you, Aunt Li. ”

Hanging up the phone, Deng Lei saw that the team members around him all had black faces and wanted to come up and beat him, so he hurriedly lowered his head and accelerated his eating.

Sitting opposite him, the second-generation Li Sheng, sighed:

"Oh, Deng Da Aerospace Hero is really hard, this time flying in the sky is the same as running a taxi, and he is a little reluctant."

As soon as his words came out, many people immediately echoed with a sour taste:

"That's right, I've been to space three times in three months, and I've never been so diligent in flying."

"Deng Lei, you can't bear it with such a high-intensity flying body, right? If you don't let me come, I will fly the H1 simulator 10 times for 90 points, just treat it as if I helped you, don't want the flight allowance of Director Lin. ”

"That's all you have? Did I say anything about the flight hours of the simulator 500, why don't you ask me to go, I have flown the J-8II, and I have a lot of experience in supersonic flight. ”

Well, as a commercial astronaut, Deng Lei has a flight allowance of 200,000 yuan for every flight, independent of his salary.

However, Deng Lei will not be busy for too long, and the remaining four professional pilots recruited should be able to fly to the sky around November, and it is rumored that Lin Ju will deploy engineers to part-time astronauts after the B-level base is fully staffed.

But even if he knows this, the astronaut team is still very envious of Deng Lei's frequent flights, and in terms of space flight experience alone, many astronauts older than him have to regard him as a senior.

However, all this will be reversed soon, because the first phase of the Tiangong project is ready to send 6 astronauts before the Spring Festival, and they will definitely learn to fly H1.

Now the astronaut brigade has added a new subject: flying the H1 simulator, and it takes 120 flight hours to be eligible for the selection of the H1 commander, in fact, this number may be 300 or even higher.

And there are rumors within the team that Captain Li may fly another mission.

I don't know where this rumor came from, but Captain Li's training time has increased significantly recently, which makes everyone suspicious.

Sunday, September 13th.

High-level members of the Arbor Space Agency, all members of the embassy, Abel astronauts who came to China for training, Crown Prince Hamand and some celebrities of Arbor gathered at the original C-class base in Xinyuan.

While busy with its own manned missions to manufacture Unity and Progress, Xinyuan produced a lot of spare parts.

After the successful manned launch on July 21, the C-class base did not stop work, and with some spare parts and some newly produced parts, a new H1 passenger version was built, which is theoretically the "Zi Mecca" belonging to Aber.

The factory deliberately chose to go offline on Sunday, and people from all walks of life who got the news in advance rushed here to attend the offline ceremony.

At the same time, Abo's domestic TV station also flew over for the first time, preparing for filming with the most grand arrangement.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in front of the closed final assembly hangar, Arbor's domestic orchestra began to play, and the sliding doors of the hangar moved to both sides, slowly revealing the self-Mecca with red hanging colors in the center of the machine and a large red silk cloth on the nose.

Although the appearance of H1 has long been active in the media, when the Abel people see the Chinese joy of the self-Mecca revealing its true face, it is still as shocked as the first time they see it.

The prince, who led the space agency, reveled in the porthole of the Mecca:

"Praise be to Allah, look at the blue portholes, they are like jewels."

He glanced at Lin Ju, who was standing next to him with a professional smile, his expression was solemn, and in the latter's confusion, he took off the ring inlaid with a quail egg-sized sapphire on his right finger, and stuffed it into Lin Ju's hand without saying a word.

"Lin, you will always be Abo's friend, and the Chinese people are always the friendliest, only you are sincere and just want to make money."

Lin Ju wanted to let go, but the prince was tall and strong, and firmly buckled the huge gem in Lin Ju's palm, and the latter could only reluctantly accept it after several shirks.

At this moment, the welcoming crowds on both sides suddenly erupted in cheers again, it turned out that Prince Hamand was sitting in a tractor, slowly dragging the Mecca out of the hangar, and the people on both sides who had been prepared began to sprinkle a large number of flower petals into the middle of the road, feverishly welcoming the Mecca's departure.

Then, on the red carpet outside, Lin Ju and Crown Prince Hamand cut the ribbon for the Mecca, and then Lin Ju handed over a key in a transparent gift box to Crown Prince Hamand, symbolizing the transfer of ownership.

Since then, the Mecca has officially "belonged" to the Arbor Space Agency, and then the shuttle door is opened, allowing two people to take a guided tour at a time.

As the manufacturer, Lin Ju first brought Crown Prince Hamand and Prince in.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Prince Hamand saw that there were quite a lot of golden parts in the cabin, and at first glance it was specially designed to make the interior look luxurious and noble, and couldn't help asking:

"Are these golden gold? Why didn't Solidarity and Progress work? ”

It's Chinese, and after a few months of training in China, Hamand is already able to speak fluently in Chinese.

Lin Ju and Hamand have been in contact a lot for a few months, and it is immediately clear why he asks this.

The Abel people are very fond of using gold as decoration, but because of their nouveau riche status, they have always been faintly looked down upon, and they are considered to be very earthy to decorate with large areas of gold.

Hamander studied in the West, and felt more deeply than other people in China, although he liked it, he was also a little afraid of being talked about, and Lin Ju answered this seriously:

"We're going to improve every batch of space shuttles, and the gold foil protects against cosmic rays, and we're adding it just to make it more resistant to radiation."

This answer made the prince and Prince Hamand both nod their heads in satisfaction, and kept touching around in the Mecca, and Hamand also took pictures and tweeted in the cab, and said to the prince and Lin Ju:

"It won't be long before I'll be able to fly the Mecca!"

Lin Ju: Smile.

PRINCE: Meaningful.

Old King: No, you don't want to.

During the subsequent visit, the other Abel even prayed to the Mecca, and it is said that the Abel had invited several gods to bathe and fast, and would soon come to consecrate the self-Mecca with holy water......

Since the delivery of the Mecca, the impact has exceeded Lin Ju's imagination, and three days after the news reached Aber, countless followers of Allah have donated more than $4 billion to the Awa space agency.

The old king Alett was also fierce, and directly announced that he would add $10 billion to the Arbor Space Agency, and that he would expand and increase investment in Arbor's space program again and send astronauts from fraternal countries throughout the Central Asian world to space.

Ten billion dollars.
