Rich life from scratch

Chapter 310 Rocket launch in progress

Fun Pai's technical team came and went, leaving Lin Qishan and his team to continue the intense pre-launch preparations.

At this time, Lin Qishan no longer lived in the hotel. He was asked to gather in the astronaut's dormitory, maintain a regular life and rest, and live and rest together with three members of the team to cultivate tacit habits.

The dormitory is a single room, and the conditions are not bad. Of course, it is definitely not as good as the Ritz Hotel, but Lin Qishan still just opens his mouth when he wants to do anything, and the secretary assistant is on call.

This is where Lin Qishan is different from others. The Russian side has no objection to this, because Lin Qishan can complete the training tasks excellently. You can't ask other billionaires to work hard.

And keeping non-professional astronauts in a good state of mind is also one of the key points.

In the month before the launch, the focus of the training gradually focused on the mental state.

According to the doctor's report, Lin Qishan's mood was very different from other people who went to space for the first time. Others were nervous, dazed, and worried that they would not be able to do well when the launch was approaching.

But this guy is excited, eager to try, excited to show, so emotional that he needs a woman to calm him down, and his doctor marked it in this regard.

Then Katya, who was the translator, said to him one by one: "It's not good for you to be too excited. You have to calm down and obey the commander's orders in everything, and you won't have a woman to accompany you when you go up!"

"I know."

Lin Qishan has two minds, he is obedient and does things right.

Katya pushed his chest away and scolded with a smile: "You really can't stop for a moment, can you?"

Lin Qishan found an explanation: "There is a famous saying in my hometown, life is too short to enjoy yourself in time! Who knows what you will encounter when you go up, what if your rocket blows up?"

"You'll be fine, the escape procedures are sound," she said.

"That's also possible, so I might as well focus on what's in front of me." Lin Qishan slapped his palm, and the other party naturally changed his running posture knowingly.

However, Lin Qishan's psychological agitation was indeed noticed. The psychologist communicated with him a lot, and used various methods to make him treat him calmly, and don't rush to my determination to create a feat.

Because space is not an arena, he seeks stability rather than rushing to perform. Now he is not afraid that his skills are not good enough, but he is afraid that he is young and reckless and does not pay attention to details.

Lin Qishan also adjusted his mentality well, returning to the calmness of the old well, and then those frequent daily centrifuge training and vestibular training.

These two items are carried out intensively before the launch. The former is to overcome the tolerance of the rocket launch, and the latter determines the degree of discomfort in the vestibule of the astronauts during the acute adaptation period to weightlessness.

In his spare time, Lin Qishan went fishing with the Commander. It seems that when men get older, they like to study these skills. They go to the lake in a boat, fish for half a day, and then honor the Air Force (no catch), but Kudlinski But they proudly claim that this has cultivated their psychological quality of not being alarmed.

Lin Qishan was rather skeptical, this was the most perfect excuse the old driver gave himself to the Air Force!

Or learn some mechanical structures from engineer Dubayev. This guy is more hard-core than the command commander. His research direction is weapons and equipment in space, so Lin Qishan also learned from him how to design and model weapon parts, assemble and use them. and retrofit, among others.

Lin Qishan feels that this guy has a better future, and the feeling of Star Wars is here.

The days passed day by day, and the countdown to the launch finally arrived.

The space agency sent the final plan: launch the Union manned rocket on August 8!
A crew of three is expected to stay on the space station for seven days.

The site is located in central Kazakhstan, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

After receiving the final confirmation, the stone in Lin Qishan's heart was also let go.

The training, sweat, and unremitting efforts of the past six months have finally ushered in the day when they will bear fruit!He's going to space, and once he's done, he'll set multiple records!
The mood is inevitably a little excited, but I also secretly tell myself that this is nothing, you have practiced countless times, and you have memorized everything you should do and be responsible for, and the drivers who lead the way are all old drivers, so there is no difficulty!

Before leaving for Kazakhstan, the astronauts went for a medical examination again to confirm the final status and ensure that they can meet the requirements of space operations.

The result was unexpected. The three astronauts and their working team flew to Kazakhstan by special plane, stayed in the hotel designated by the astronauts first, and would not go to the launch site until the day of the launch.

When he was in the hotel, Lin Qishan started the tradition of emulating his predecessors in everything.

In fact, the Russian aerospace field is particularly particular about following traditions.

Kudlinsky had already told him in advance: "On the way to the launch site in the bus, you have to pee yourself, because on the prairie, we have to get out of the car and pee on the tires!"

"Is this legend true?" Lin Qishan had heard it before.

The commander is very serious and affirmative: "This is the tradition left by our aerospace veteran Gagarin. On the way to the rocket launch pad, he asked to stop in the Kazakh grassland, and then walked to the rear of the car and slapped the rear tire on the car. Take a pee."

"So the tradition continues to this day. All our astronauts will follow the tradition when they pass through the grassland. Even lesbians will prepare urine in bottles in advance and pour it on the tires when they arrive at the place!"

Lin Qishan suddenly thought of another thing: "Then it's true that you bring vodka and space?"

Kudlinsky shrugged his shoulders, and then Dubayev next to him silently took out a bottle of brandy from the bedside, and said with a kind of humor that you only know now: "You should mean this?"

"Oh!"

Lin Qishan laughed when he saw it, it turned out that Maozi really took wine to space!

It's just not the rumored vodka, but Armenian brandy!
And this is also a tradition, insisted on by astronauts as superstition!

But you must know that before 2006, whether it was the Soviet Union or Russia, astronauts were prohibited from bringing alcohol, and even in the former Soviet Union, the country still implemented a ban on alcohol!
But how could this stop Mao Zi's determination to drink!
In the popular science they talked about to this oriental friend, Lin Qishan had a deep understanding of this tradition.

The first warrior to bring wine can be traced back to 1971.

Maozi, who couldn't help but want to go to space to drink, hid a bottle of Armenian brandy in the blood pressure monitor and successfully got away with it and brought it to space!

Of course, someone asked, rocket launch and space orbiting require precise weight for every bit, because changing the weight may affect the center of gravity of the spacecraft, what should I do?
Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of accident, the fierce man with wine behind him forced himself to lose weight. One week before the launch, he only ate bread and tea, and successfully lost two kilograms!

So he not only brought a sufficient amount of brandy up there, but also pickled cucumbers, which he stuffed under the spacesuit and put it next to his body, so he could safely go into space!

Lin Qishan almost burst out laughing when he heard this, is it true that even the king of heaven and I can't stop the Maozi astronauts from drinking in space?

There is even more exaggeration in the back. There is the most awesome Maozi astronaut. He carried out the largest space alcohol smuggling in history-he poured 12 bottles of brandy into six plastic bags with screw caps, and successfully carried them with him. Space!
In his memoirs, he said: "We only take a small sip each time, about 20 grams, instead of killing it in one gulp, we hold it in our mouth, taste it with the tip of our tongue, and finally swallow it slowly. Up to 10 minutes!"

Don't underestimate the amount of this drink. After a busy day of work and experiments in a quiet and uninhabited space, all kinds of emotions and anxiety will have harmful consequences if they are not effectively controlled. Yes, so this sip of wine is more effective than tranquilizers!

So it developed to modern times. After considering the effect of alcohol on them, the Russian Aerospace Agency also began to allow alcohol to be brought up.

Because it doesn’t count as non-give, space bastards still have ways to smuggle them!
Therefore, Dubayev and Kudlinsky have prepared a must-have for astronauts that has lasted for decades-Armenian brandy at the bedside!

Only Lin Qishan looked at the vodka he secretly brought, and felt that he was careless!Turns out the space guy drank brandy, not vodka!
