Super technology leader

"Today, I'm not the company boss, just an ordinary employee," Tang Chao said to everyone with a smile. "How do you all feel about being here?"

"How do you feel?"

How else could they feel?

Of course, they felt amazing!

Aside from the astronauts of Pioneer Company, they were the first ordinary people to ride the orbital shuttle.

Truly ordinary people, because their qualifications to ride came from a lottery, without even spending money.

After this batch, the vast majority of passengers would have to shell out more than $1 million to buy a ticket.

The reason for saying "vast majority" is that Pioneer Company has an annual lottery, selecting a few lucky individuals each year for a free space tour experience.

"I feel great, Mr. Tang."

Before anyone else could speak, old Mr. Yu spoke first.

"I feel like I can enter space at any time. My physical condition might be better than some young people who don't exercise much!"

As he spoke, Old Man Yu even struck a muscle-flexing pose to show that he was really robust.

"Haha," Tang Chao was amused by the old man. "Of course, everyone will do a test later, and the results will come out quickly."

"We have done live tests before, and then used the data obtained from the live tests to calculate various physical conditions in detail. For someone of your age, as long as you are healthy, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Tang Chao didn't finish his words, because he wasn't sure if Yu Boda, who looked fine, was really okay.

Just like he said, they had indeed done experiments internally. Those many orbital shuttle test flights weren't just for delivering goods and training. Every astronaut was responsible for scientific research tasks.

That is, being studied.

Every time they went to space, they could bring back a large amount of experimental data, including mechanical and electronic equipment, as well as data related to the human body.

The age ranges of spaceflight pilots and space mission experts are different, and their physical qualities are also different. The range encompassed by all astronauts in these two major categories is very large.

And this huge span can bring researchers a considerable amount of scientific research data, allowing them to derive a more accurate lower limit of physical fitness.

The lower limit of physical condition for riding the orbital shuttle and entering space.

Assuming this limit is 5, then 5.1 can ride the orbital shuttle into space.

Well, that is, being out of the category of "trash."

Regarding Yu Boda's situation, when the company verified his identity after he won the lottery and learned that he was nearly 80 years old, there was a burst of discussion internally.

There was no way around it. The age was too high, and it was different from the situation of the oldest astronaut in history. Yu Boda was not enthusiastic about physical exercise, and he didn't have a space-level nutritionist to regulate his body. The situations were completely incomparable.

So, no one at Pioneer Company knew what his physical condition was.

However, they had a data model. If an 80-year-old was in good health, the probability was that he would be okay.

Because of these things, Pioneer Company communicated with Yu Boda's family, that is, the qualification could be transferred to relatives, but the old man insisted on going to space himself, so he came.

The words before were indeed said by the old man, but a few sentences were missing, sentences that were not suitable to say to outsiders.

"Actually, I'm already eighty years old this year, but I just haven't had my birthday yet. I don't know how much longer I can live. You don't need to comfort me. Eighty is not a young age."

"I taught history for a lifetime. In tens of thousands of years, human development has not been rapid, but since there have been records, humans have been looking up at the stars."

"I have been studying things on Earth all my life, and they are all 'non-existent' things. In the past hundred years, human development has advanced by leaps and bounds. Humans can finally set foot in the place they have looked up to for tens of thousands of years."

"When I was young, I also wanted to go, but later I realized how difficult it was. Gradually, I got old. I thought I would never have the chance to go there again, but Pioneer suddenly appeared."

"What's even more amazing is that this old man actually won the lottery, haha. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I want to see the place that humans have looked up to for tens of thousands of years, to see what it is like there, whether there is a record of humans' tens of thousands of years of history."

A very energetic old man, knowing what he wants to do.

Tang Chao knew all the lucky winners on the scene, after all, he had read the information, but he had to get to know them again, not for himself, but for the viewers watching the live broadcast.

After the introduction, Tang Chao took them directly to do several examinations. After the examinations, he took them to visit the aerospace company.

There were many interesting things to see here, suitable for all ages, such as the exhibition hall.

There were model displays of all the aerospace company's aerospace equipment, as well as some future equipment models, but looking at those increasingly sci-fi things, people didn't know how credible they were.

Lu Jie didn't care whether others believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

From the very beginning, he was a fan of Tang Chao!

After all, this internationally renowned aerospace BOSS-level figure was only a few years older than himself. He had already created such a large career, and it wasn't even in administrative aspects, but in technical aspects.

He was a real technical big shot, no, a god!

A celebrity singing a song and posing in a coy posture could be wildly worshiped by a group of people. A god like Tang Chao could naturally also be worshiped.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

In Lu Jie's eyes, Tang Chao was still the kind who broke through the sky.

Although Tang Chao hadn't personally been to space yet, his creations had already flown to Mars!

Moreover, in some fan-built groups, they were all guessing when Tang Chao would really take a trip to space.

Now that the technology of the orbital shuttle is so mature, according to Tang Chao's past performance, he will definitely go to space, and even the time is in the near future.

Before long, Tang Chao will become the first aerospace company boss to enter space.

He can set an example for the bosses of other aerospace companies!

So now he believes whatever Tang Chao says, even if Tang Chao says that he will drive the shuttle himself to send them to space, he will believe it!

These simulated gravity space stations, interplanetary spacecraft, long-range starships, jump fortresses, blah blah blah, are nothing.

What was the result?

In the evening, their physical examination results came out. According to the travel standards set by Pioneer Company, everyone met the standards.

Even Old Man Yu Boda exceeded the lower limit by 19%.

So, according to this standard, if there are no major physical problems, an 80... plus-year-old can go to space.

Oh, right, this is Pioneer Company's standard, other companies should not imitate it easily.

If you really want to imitate, then you need a single-stage-to-orbit vehicle like the orbital shuttle, and you also need high-level comfort and life support technology.

If you don't have it, then buy a ready-made one.

The next day, everyone was paying attention to this manned space mission. The lucky winners put on their stylishly designed intra-cabin suits, and then Tang Chao led them to watch a "Space Travel Precautions" movie.

After doing all this, he led everyone onto the orbital shuttle, watching them sit down.

When everyone was still saying that this boss had finally broken through the previous restrictions and directly entered the interior of the orbital shuttle, Tang Chao walked straight into the cockpit.

He nodded to Du Kangsheng, who was serving as the main pilot, and he very naturally sat in the co-pilot's seat, then fastened his seat belt, checked the buttons, instruments, and systems, and talked about various terms with the main pilot.

Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.

"???"

After confirming that there were no problems with the aircraft, Tang Chao smiled.

The BOSS can, of course, do whatever he wants.
