Chapter 182: The Pride of 1.3 Billion People!
Six hundred years ago, Wan Hu, who was strapped to dozens of rockets and wanted to go into space, finally died on the rocket he loved.
Six hundred years later, the dream of flying to the sky has finally come true in our generation!
"Manned spacecraft, orbital operation is normal!"
Yang Hongwei in space is in much better shape than everyone imagined.
Through the personal health monitoring system integrated in the spacesuit, it can be seen that all functional indicators are in good condition.
"Report to the ground command center that the spacecraft is flying around the earth at a speed of 90 minutes!"
As the first person in China to enter space, Yang Hongwei's good state has given everyone a lot of confidence.
In fact, in the previous life, the astronauts who had just entered space were not in such a good state.
The main reason is the rocket system, and the degree of integration between the various subsystems is insufficient.
When the rocket was launched, the cabin where the astronauts were staying had a strong vibration, which brought a strong sense of discomfort to the astronauts.
Only after the manned spacecraft entered space, after entering the state of low gravity, it was much better.
In fact, it is normal to experience discomfort when you take a rocket for the first time and launch it into space.
Even after experiencing various training on the ground, when the surging push back feeling of the rocket is loaded on the body, there will still be physical discomfort.
There is no good way to solve this problem, even in a more technologically advanced future.
After all, it is impossible to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth itself and enter space without a certain speed.
Unless the world can point out the technology of the space elevator, but from the current material science and engineering, without a miracle, it is impossible to point the space elevator within 50 years, which is a necessary technology for space development.
Although they had just entered space, the astronauts still showed good quality and started various tasks in an orderly manner according to the predetermined procedures.
"How does it feel to see the Earth from space?"
After checking the flight parameters of the manned spacecraft, the ground control center was relieved to find that there was no problem, and Zhao Tianming, as the commander-in-chief, even had the heart to ask a question that everyone was more concerned about, but it was not actually on the task list.
"Spectacular like never before!"
Yang Hongwei, who was floating in the orbital module, took a look in front of the porthole of the manned spacecraft, and then transmitted his voice back to the ground.
Looking at the ground from afar, the first thing that catches your eye is the separate but connected clouds.
As the manned spacecraft flew over the Pacific Ocean, you could even see the typhoon vortex slowly forming in the Pacific Ocean.
And when flying over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, these mountains and rivers that could only be seen at a glance on the topographic map were so clearly visible for the first time.
Meandering, the mother river in the shape of a few figures on the northwestern plateau, runs through the great river in the middle of the country!
The central and eastern parts of the country are divided by the Dabie Mountain Range, forming several large plains.
and his hometown of dreams, the Northeast Plain, which attracts his attention even in space.
Next to the turquoise bay is your hometown.
In the middle of space, look in other directions and discover many beautiful things that you didn't find before.
Even the mountains of the southwest are unprecedentedly clear.
Vaguely, you can still see a touch of white, some are white clouds, and some are those ice and snow that have accumulated on the peaks thousands of meters above sea level.
From space, you can find that there are so many mountains and rivers here.
Yang Hongwei slightly adjusted the position of the camera in the cabin, pointed the lens of the camera at the blue-and-white planet, and took the first photo of himself after entering space!
The data of the photographs is transcoded and transmitted to the control center through communication relay satellites in space and receiving stations on the ground.
A very special photo of the land is presented in front of everyone's eyes.
Although before this, most of us as astronauts have seen a few photos taken by satellites.
But this is the first time I've seen a photo of the country taken from a human perspective.
Even in this photo, the pixels are not particularly high because of the photographic equipment.
But it still captures the magnificent feeling of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Within the three control centers in China, everyone appreciated this first photo taken by the Chinese people in space for a while.
"The angle of the shooting, the choice is not bad."
Zhang Xingyang unconsciously touched the stubble he had just shaved off with his left hand, and secretly commented in his heart.
A few minutes after the photo was sent back to the ground, some details were repaired and sent to the media who were still waiting.
Although it was close to lunchtime, because the rocket launch was a Saturday, many families stayed in front of the television all day, waiting to watch the news of the manned spacecraft.
After all, the new media at this time has not yet developed the soil.
In addition to newspapers and magazines with a certain lag in receiving information, if you want to know all kinds of information at the first time, you can only rely on television.
On this day, tens of millions of people, to say the least, stood in front of the television, waiting for the first-hand information transmitted by the astronauts from space.
Especially the viewers who have just watched the rocket launch and are aroused by their interest.
The first to get the news was naturally Yang Ma.
The news channel almost does not broadcast other news today, all of which are related to manned spaceflight.
After getting the transmitted space photos, the news program host introduced them to everyone with a little excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first photo our astronauts have just taken in space."
"We can see that this is a picture of our country."
"From the photo, we can see the Yangtze River and the Yellow River!"
For many people in front of the television, this is the first time they have seen what their country is like so clearly.
Before this, many people did not have a clear concept of this.
Most people on the ground, still sighing at the photos, the astronauts in space have already started their next mission.
Yang Hongwei started the recording function on the camera and started recording video.
Each hand holds a small flag, a blue and white joint flag and a fiery red national flag.
"Peaceful use of space for the benefit of all mankind!"
Yang Hongwei's resolute voice was transmitted back to the ground from space hundreds of kilometers away.
This is our good wish, and this is also our attitude on the issue of space development.
At this time, everyone still has an attitude of peaceful development to deal with possible space cooperation.
Of course, judging from the situation in future generations, it is only our good wish to develop space peacefully for the sake of all mankind.
After decades, space quickly became an advantage for developed countries to bully other countries.
However, at this time, everyone still holds such a good wish, thinking that everyone can unite and go to the universe.
The video came to the ground and was disseminated through major TV stations, which naturally caused a wide range of discussions among the people.
There are those who are happy and excited, and there are those who are contemptuous and disdainful.
"It's great that everyone can develop space together in the future!"
This is the opinion of the happy, excited people.
"People Eagle sauce, what can be done more than forty years ago, what is there to be proud of!"
This is the inner thoughts of those who despise and disdain.
But no matter what others think, they can't hide a fact.
That is, after that, the number of countries in the world, which originally had only two independent masters of manned space technology, increased to three.
Most people are still very proud of this, especially those related to aerospace, and they feel a strong sense of honor.
For example, there is a very special group, that is, the families of astronauts.
The first astronauts, for all reasons, chose people with families.
Not only considering that after carrying out a space mission, there may be a certain impact on the astronaut's body, which may cause fertility problems.
Moreover, people with families generally have better psychological quality.
And now, these very special military wives are very excited in the space base, watching the broadcast of the spacecraft. (The first batch of domestic astronauts all have military status, so their families are also military wives.) )
However, among these people, there is the most important figure missing, that is, the wife of an astronaut in space.
Let's adjust our gaze to the ground flight control center thousands of kilometers away from the base.
Yang Hongwei's wife, who was wearing a black uniform, stood in front of the communication desk in the control center with some excitement, ready to talk to her husband in the sky.
As a military wife, when Yang Hongwei was still a fighter pilot, the two were together.
At that time, whenever Yang Hongwei took off in a fighter plane, she couldn't help but worry.
When her lover was selected to become an astronaut, this worry was once diminished, after all, in her thoughts, there were so many astronauts in the first batch, and the chances of choosing her husband were not so great.
But when she knew that Yang Hongwei would be the first astronaut to go to space, she still firmly supported it.
But fortunately, the most dangerous launch link has passed.
"Hongwei, how does it feel in space?"
In a somewhat trembling voice, she asked her husband, who was far away in space.
Yang Hongwei didn't actually know in advance that his wife would talk to him.
So when I first met my lover, I was a little surprised, but soon this feeling became warm.
"I feel very good!"
Although they couldn't see their wife's face, they could also hear each other's concern in their voices.
As for what Yang Hongwei said, it feels very good, and it is true, mainly because under the microgravity environment of space, the human spine no longer has to bear the pressure from gravity, which will be much soothed.
"How does it feel to see the Earth from space?"
The gentle woman, after caring for her husband, asked with a smile.
"The view is spectacular and beautiful!"
As Yang Hongwei spoke, he looked at the earth under the porthole of the manned spacecraft.
The spaceship is fast, and it can circle the earth in 90 minutes, so in his eyes, the scenery of the earth is almost unchanged.
Even the white clouds that move extremely fast on the ground are like cotton nailed to the earth and the sea.
"We all saw the photos you sent back, and they were taken beautifully!"
Yang Hongwei's wife said with some excitement:
"We're all so proud of you, and we're all happy!"
At this time, she beckoned to a little boy next to her.
As a control center of manned spaceflight, normally there is no such thing as a child, but he is very special.
He is Yang Hongwei's only son.
"Talk to Daddy."
The little boy shouted into the microphone:
"Daddy!"
Yang Hongwei, who was far away in space, heard his son's voice and replied happily:
"Hey!"
Everyone in the control center smiled at this warm scene in front of them.
After a brief exchange, the family members left the control center, where various tasks were still required.
And Yang Hongwei, who was in the manned spacecraft, also started his work.
In the previous few launches of unmanned manned spacecraft, although they also carried a lot of scientific research instruments.
For example, the last time, it was equipped with a space crystal growth furnace and a space cell fusion test bench.
However, these devices were all working under the effect of automatic control systems at that time.
Not only can it not be adapted on the spot, but it can also solve various problems that arise in the experimental process at any time.
There is no way to design experiments on the spot according to the situation in space.
Yang Hongwei skillfully opened the equipment on board the spacecraft, including the cosmic high-energy ray observation equipment, the solar wind particle detector, the solar ultraviolet spectrum monitor, and so on.
Because the space of the manned spacecraft has increased a lot, it is equipped with more experimental equipment than in the previous life.
And the more important thing here is a set of spatial growth cycle system.
It is used in the microgravity environment of space to provide the necessary nutrients, air, sunlight and water for the growth of plants.
At present, this set can only allow small and medium-sized plants to grow.
But in fact, in the future, after such a system is expanded, it can be used as a necessary equipment for human beings to survive in space cities, a biological circulation system!
But now no one realizes this, and only sees it as part of an experiment with space creatures.
As the first domestic astronaut in orbit, Yang Hongwei's in-orbit time is not as long as when the space station was built in later generations, which was often six months, and his mission time was only 60 hours.
However, this still does not prevent the 1.3 billion people on the ground from being proud of these three short days!
From then on, the Dragon Kingdom will begin to quickly surpass other countries in the world in terms of aerospace! (End of chapter)
