Rebirth of a technological power

Transport vehicles drove out of the aerospace system one after another.

Looking at the air force base.

At night, the air force airport was dimly lit with stars.

The space shuttle has driven out of the hangar and appeared on the runway.

A series of tests for the space shuttle's crew will take place in the evening.

Including gliding takeoff, vertical takeoff, gliding landing, and vertical landing.

Wang Yaping was appointed captain of the second astronaut brigade not only because she is an outstanding astronaut, but also because she has rich experience in flying fighter aircraft and transport aircraft.

Following Wang Yaping's operation, the space shuttle began to taxi on the runway, then took off and soared into the sky.

In this situation where there are no other goods, the operation is different.

If it is intelligent, then the entire set has been set. Even if there is any problem in the air, the intelligence will operate according to the plan in the database.

But it's different when it's done manually.

Although human operation is full of variables, it is also full of challenges.

The space shuttle easily reached an altitude of 20,000 meters, and its speed quickly exceeded Mach 2!

As the height continued to rise, everyone concentrated on checking the various data on the display.

After entering space, everything is different, because the environment here is a weightless environment, and the gravity is so small that it can almost be ignored.

After completing a series of tests in space, the shuttle then returned.

If the Shenzhou spacecraft wants to return, it must make precise calculations.

But the space shuttle does not need it and can return to the atmosphere at any time.

In this process, the thrust of the propeller is used to decelerate. Even if it enters the atmosphere in South America, it can fly back to China very quickly at the speed of a space shuttle.

They need to fully master this space shuttle in the next half month, because the second manned moon landing will be carried out by them.

This year, there will be two manned lunar landing missions. In addition to carrying out a series of scientific research tasks, there is also a very important task, which is to build a "life system" for the lunar scientific research station so that astronauts can conduct long-term missions on the moon in the future. on duty.

Compared with the first group of astronauts, which is already well adjusted, their second group still needs to work hard to adjust.

Otherwise, how will we train the new generation of astronauts in the future?

The space shuttle passed the tower and landed steadily on the airport runway. After taxiing for a certain distance, it slowed down and then stopped on the apron.

"Everyone take a break. In an hour, we will conduct the second test!" Wang Yaping said.

"Yes, Captain!" Others nodded and said.

Next, they will cooperate with the doctor to conduct a full body examination and then rest.

Wang Yaping asked Chang'e 2 to conduct the inspection intelligently.

"The astronauts in the future will be much happier!" Wang Yaping muttered to herself.

You must know that when they select astronauts, they not only require excellent physical fitness and no history of any disease, but also that no three generations of the family must have a history of serious disease.

There are more than 100 major items and thousands of minor items in the physical examination for the astronaut preliminary selection, even if there are scars on the skin.

Now, according to the performance of the space shuttle, the requirements for astronauts will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, in the past astronaut training, the pain was definitely beyond the limits of the human body. I broke through the limits again and again and constantly defeated myself.

From now on, not only will the selection standards for astronauts be lowered, but the training of astronauts will be much easier than before.

But this also means that their astronaut careers will be greatly extended.

Now, Wang Yaping is looking forward to the new generation of astronauts.

She has learned that many college students are participating in astronaut selection, including many from prestigious universities.

In addition, there are Air Force pilots, or Air Force Academy students!

The talent of this batch is destined to be stronger than the previous three batches.

After inspecting the space shuttle, Wang Yaping got off the space shuttle and was examined by the medical team.

This kind of inspection is essential to ensure that the astronauts are in good health and will not have some problems that may cause them to explode in space and affect the safety of the astronauts.

Why was it originally required that astronauts not have any scars? It was because of the huge gravitational acceleration caused by high-speed ascent and descent. During high-speed ascent and descent, the gravitational acceleration would be very terrifying, reaching 6 to 10G. In this way, if there are scars on the skin, it is very likely that the astronauts will not have any scars. It will break because it cannot bear the gravity.

After a series of inspections, Wang Yaping took a short break to adjust her condition.

When the alarm clock rang, Wang Yaping woke up, moved her body a little, and then began to lead the team to perform the task.

This time, the space shuttle contained cargo, and the satellites had been transported and fixed in position.

This time, after checking, they went to check one by one whether the satellites were fixed and whether the robotic arms were intact.

After completing these tasks, they began to return to their seats and fasten their seat belts.

Wang Yaping operated again, and the space shuttle took off again, heading straight into the sky.

This time there are more satellites, and many operations are slightly different.

But overall it's pretty much the same.

After entering space, satellites are released at different orbital positions according to requirements.

The satellites carried this time were all manufactured overtime during this period.

It is also a measure to reduce costs.

The next rocket launch is more of an experimental nature.

The space shuttle will become mainstream.

The satellites are released one by one and reach the predetermined orbit. Next, the ground command center will activate the satellites.

After completing a series of tests, the space shuttle began its return.

This series of tests were all conducted at night.

In addition, the space shuttle uses special materials, so even the radar base closest to China cannot detect the space shuttle.

One night, two tests, and then I saw that it would be bright soon.

Instead of parking on the tarmac, the shuttle entered the hangar.

After checking the status of the shuttle, the astronauts got off the shuttle and then shut down the shuttle system.

Instead of staying at the Air Force airfield, they will return to the Astronaut Center to rest.

Because they were all tested at night, the outside world still doesn’t know that China already has a second space shuttle.

And because of the relationship in the past few years, it is not easy for intelligence personnel to enter. Even if they do, it is in Wenchang County. After all, everyone knows that China's space shuttle is at the Wenchang Launch Center.

As for the capital, there are no intelligence personnel in this field at all, because no one would think that China would have a space shuttle in the capital, nor would they think that China would have a second space shuttle.

This was also a very important reason why Bureau Zhang asked Cai Jin to place the space shuttle at the Beijing Air Force Base.

Building a plank road in the open and secretly visiting Chen Cang will always make people unexpected.
