Men's Kapishi

The overload value has stabilized at 16G, which is also the maximum working G value of this manned centrifuge. As an anti-overload training facility, this number is enough.

"It's okay, I can hold on for a while."

"Well, this is just getting used to the overload before you board the manned spaceship, you don't need to be so serious."

Little Dinosaur admitted that he did not follow the requirements of the medical department before the training started. Ms. Christen explained clearly to facilitate the collection of the other party's physical data in the extreme state.

But the opponent's terrible desire to win did make the little dinosaur feel a little headache, even though Kristen tried to maintain an anti-overload posture in the manned cabin, while pretending to be relaxed that he could handle it.

However, the data and the pictures captured by the camera will not deceive people. Miss Kristen's beautiful face has been completely flattened by overload, like a piece of dough that has been kneaded back and forth.

If these video data were leaked, the lady in charge might really kill herself to restore her image, the little dinosaur thought so.

"Received, start braking in 15 seconds, and pay attention to controlling the breathing rate." The little dinosaur then issued an operation command to let the operator of the console start to prepare. It is not easy to stop such a large and high-speed rotating machine.

As an important part of the deal with Rhine Life, Kristen will enter space on a manned spacecraft manufactured by Karak Heavy Industries.

Even though the little dinosaur actively exaggerated the risks and difficulties, it still did not dispel the idea of ​​the technology company boss wanting to break through the atmosphere. Instead, he worked extraordinarily hard in theoretical training and training, which made most people admire.

The anti-overload training cabin slowly stopped, and the waiting medical staff immediately surrounded it and fished out the soaked Christen from inside.

Physical resistance of 16G is already in the superhuman category for the Blue Stars, and it is not easy for the Terrans either.

Looking at Xingji who was wearing an anti-G suit and waiting for training from a height, the little dinosaur sighed, feeling a little regretful.

Although there is no problem technically, it is still extremely risky to conduct a manned flight without sufficient intelligence support, even if it is a suborbital flight.

Several unmanned verification flights of Aurora and its orbiter have been successful and achieved autonomous flight and return. In terms of safety factor and technical reliability, Karak's existing data is compared with the No.1 human astronaut For Gagarin, it is undoubtedly very secure.

But this does not mean that there is no risk. For Xingji to sign up for astronaut training, Little Dinosaur is 1 reluctant.

However, the other party is Party A. As a service and technology provider, Little Dinosaur does not have much decision-making power in some general directions, so he is still planning to seek a breakthrough from Christen, the head of Rheinland Life.

"The training has been hard, Ms. Christen." The little dinosaur said politely.

"Fortunately, how is the launch preparation progress?" Christen looked a little tired, but still maintained a good working condition, and immediately asked about the preparation situation.

"Everything is going according to plan, and the two suborbital launch methods are advancing simultaneously." The little dinosaur walked to the screen behind and projected the data in his hand.

"The No. 5 launch plan is that the Aurora carries the orbiter Swift to climb to [-] meters, and then the latter separates and ignites into orbit."

"The alternative would be to use four sets of twelve high-thrust solid rocket boosters to launch our existing vertical take-off and landing vehicle to the edge of the atmosphere, and then go into orbit with its own plasma engine."

"I personally recommend the alternative launch method." The little dinosaur pushed down the eyes on the bridge of the nose, reflecting the light from the screen like a scientific person.

As a long-range tactical bomber capable of vertical landing, the Anvil-class is still powerful when it does not carry heavy cluster bombs.

Although the flying speed in the atmosphere is unsatisfactory, once it enters the upper atmosphere and outer space where the resistance drops sharply, the advantage of large specific impulse and the almost unlimited endurance in the planetary system will make anyone heartbeat.

The only trouble is that the flight control needs to be rewritten to adapt to space flight and is very dependent on the manual control of the crew.

"Strength produces miracles, we only need to be responsible for the greatness, and leave the rest to miracles."

"I still think we'd better follow the plan and give priority to Plan [-]." Christen moistened his lips with a sports drink, and almost instinctively chose the Feiyan aerospace vehicle with beautiful lines and exquisite design.

The huge cylindrical booster rockets surrounded in a circle in the assembly workshop made her feel a real sense of oppression.

She was also present when the booster rocket was tested. Christen extremely doubted that there was no essential difference between this "flight booster" device and the cylindrical long-range weapon sold by Karak Heavy Industries except for its huge size. explosive.

"However, I still hope that you can seriously consider the safety risks. This is not a joke." The little dinosaur sorted out the materials and released a few blurred images.

"The sky survey program has been carried out for too short a time, and we have not yet fully grasped the movement of debris left in low-Earth orbit, and these few unknown orbiting objects are even more troublesome."

By comparing the astronomical data and star maps of Terra provided by Xingji with the observation results of the traveler, we found a lot of interesting things.

"These diamond-shaped objects are currently orbiting at an altitude of 1550 kilometers, and they happen to pass over us." The little dinosaur pointed to the ceiling with a finger up.

"If it wasn't for their orbit-changing maneuvers to happen to be captured by the space target surveillance system, they would be completely information black holes for conventional ground detection methods while remaining silent."

"Change?" Christen frowned.

The little dinosaur shrugged, and Christen grasped the point in an instant. It seemed that he was serious in the theory class.

"Although their purpose is not clear for the time being, I still strongly recommend not to try to leave the atmosphere until the unmanned probes figure out what they are."

"I suspect that the recent increased frequency of launches of demonstrator aircraft and sounding rockets has attracted their attention."

"Maintain the original plan." Christen said indifferently.

"Why? It's obviously risky..."

"Because I'm short of time."

Chapter 372 No accidents here

"Ms. Christen, as the project leader and chief architect, I would like to reiterate that there are significant safety risks associated with this mission."

Little Dinosaur knows very well how dangerous it is to arrange space missions with strict time nodes and ignore hidden dangers once the paperweight is in command.

If it weren't for the fact that the Keith in Karak already possess relatively mature space technology and have accumulated considerable experience and data in conducting orbital missions to try to unearth a complete interstellar spacecraft from a large amount of orbital debris, the little dinosaur would not have taken up this mission.

However, Rhine Life insisted on carrying out the manned launch mission within a week after evaluating the existing technology, which made the little dinosaur very resistant.

"Aerospace engineering is completely different from the experiments you designed and implemented before, Ms. Christen. In the event of an accident, the chances of you and Miss Xingji surviving are almost zero."

"There will be no accidents. I want you to guarantee that the people who die are all voluntary."

Christen's cold answer made the little dinosaur very angry: "Even if you are in a hurry to reincarnate, don't pull Xingji!"

"Wuhu, young man, have you finally shown your feet?" Christen changed his cold attitude just now, and put his arms around the little dinosaur's neck with a smile, "Do you have thoughts about our little star?"

"Work hard, Xingji still has a younger sister, if I help you, there will be opportunities for sisters in the future."

"You...I...you!" The little dinosaur was ashamed and angry. He didn't believe that Christen's pull on Xingji was a temporary idea, and he must have guessed it long ago.

Chi Guoguo's conspiracy.

Christen's purpose is not difficult to guess. Risking his life and giving up corporate interests to forcefully promote the manned spaceflight project is nothing more than wanting to borrow the influence of the name of the first Terran to enter the universe.

Little Dinosaur didn't know what she wanted this title for, but she gave Xing Ji half of such a title for no reason, how could she be so kind?

At that time, when Xingji learned from Christen that he was also qualified to go into space, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. When he came to find him in the middle of the night, the little dinosaur knew that he couldn't persuade her alone.

The only thing he can do is to persuade Christen to give up, or try his best to ensure the success of the mission.

Looking at the back of Christen leaving gracefully, the little dinosaur realized that he had already been manipulated.

It is impossible for Rhine Life to refuse the cooperation conditions. Now Christen seems to have put life and death aside, clearly stating that the known launch risks and the signing of the agreement do not require Karak Heavy Industries to be responsible for the accident.

And it is impossible for the little dinosaur to convince everyone to give up or revise the terms of cooperation with Rhine Life just because of Xingji's safety.

In the end, only he was eaten to death. As for Christen, what else can you do if he is not afraid of death?

"How do you feel, can you adapt?" The little dinosaur took two bottles of sports drinks and handed them to Xingji who had just left the cabin. The latter tied his long hair into a ponytail for the convenience of training, and rested against the armrest by the wall.

"The grades are not bad, will there be simulated driving training in a while?" Xingji pulled off the towel hanging from his slender neck, wiped his hands, and then took the drink handed over by the little dinosaur, "Thank you, little~dinosaur director."

"No need to stress the fine print. Regarding this mission, I..."

"what happened?"

Seeing Xingji's eyes full of anticipation and fighting spirit, the little dinosaur opened his mouth dumbly, but finally he didn't say anything to persuade him to quit.

"I suggest that you get more familiar with the cockpit and manual operation with Christen, or go to the anti-shock tower to experience it. The overload training of the centrifuge is not particularly necessary. The overload during launch is about 4-6G. If you are in good health Ordinary people can also bear it." The little dinosaur finally decided to say some nonsense.

"Yeah, I'm going to talk to the training team. Do you want to come together? Watch me train."

"No, I have other things to do." The little dinosaur smiled wryly and waved his hand. The simulated driving training was actually just for the two to get acquainted with the cockpit. It was far from the training difficulty of real astronauts. it's here.

Christen and Xingji are tourists rather than astronauts. For the flight computer, as long as they sit there honestly, they will be of great help.

There is not much time left for the little dinosaur. All he can do is to check and check the entire launch process to ensure that nothing goes wrong within the limited time.

The scheduled launch date is coming soon, and there is no grand departure ceremony, and it can even be said to be quite secretive to some extent.

Neither the Rhine Life nor the time-traveling public can guarantee success, so they have reached a tacit agreement in terms of publicity.

The carrier aircraft of the Aurora orbiter and the Feiyan have been prepared. After the brief preparations were completed, Xingji and Christen passed through the docking hatch between the Aurora and the Feiyan in their spacesuits. With the help of being held firmly in the seat by the seat belt, wait for the refueling to be completed.

And on the launch pad of the general launch complex KSS1, the experimental anvil bomber that has been modified and packed with large boosters is also slowly erected as an alternative.

The atmosphere in the command center was also quite solemn. In the hall, there were only the noise of various equipment and the small voices of various departments reporting the situation to each other.

In the command room on the second floor, the little dinosaur stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at the big screen at the end of the hall. Behind him stood Tassel as a high-level representative of the rotating board of directors. It was Muirses.

"Are you the only one here to watch the ceremony, Miss Muirses?" In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, the little dinosaur took the initiative to talk.

"Do your thing well, this is also a confidential matter within Rhine Life, if..."

Muirses didn't say anything later, but the little dinosaur still shrank his neck and felt chills on his back. Although he didn't know the relationship between Muirses and her immediate boss, Christen, if something happened, obviously Muirses would Erceth will ignore Rhine Life's agreement and fight the little dinosaurs through the lairs.

T - 1min 30s, one minute and 30 seconds before the launch, the Aurora completed the preparations, carried the Feiyan on its back, was slowly dragged out of the hangar by ground vehicles, and slid to the end, the huge and violent engine nozzle leaked A little fuel was pumped out, and it fell on the taxiway tick-tock, forming a few fine oil stains.

"Astronauts ready!"

"Kristen, get ready."

"Xingji, get ready."

"All units are ready! Execute the launch procedure as scheduled!"

Chapter 373 Chapter 39 Gravity

The air at REM Billiton was dry and cold in the early morning, and the four variable-cycle engines of the Aurora on the runway were lit up two by two.

Pure blue tail flames gushed out, and the violent airflow caused the grid deflector wall installed at the end of the runway to shake back and forth, looking like it might disintegrate at any time.

The brake was released, and the depressed nose of the Aurora bounced up suddenly, and began to gradually accelerate on the straight runway.

After a 1200-meter slide, the Aurora took to the air accompanied by two escort fighter planes.

"The flight status of Aurora is normal, and the working temperature of the engine and nozzle is normal."

"The Feiyan orbiter is in the correct position, and the structural link is normal."

"The vital signs of the pilot and astronaut are normal."

......

When the Aurora loaded the fixed orbiter on the back of the aircraft and began to climb, the ground command center was also closely monitoring the returned parameters.

Although the atmosphere is tense, all departments are still confirming the data in an orderly manner according to the established process, and reporting the situation through the lobby broadcast.

It is indeed the first time for a real manned space mission, but thanks to the experience of previous drills and unmanned launches, everything has gone well so far.

"Aurora is about to reach the predetermined separation altitude, and the Aurora has started course alignment."

"The entire system of Feiyan is online."

"The countdown to separation begins."

Xingji and Christen, who were wearing spacesuits in the cabin, looked at each other and began to adjust their breathing.

Looking at the horizon that has almost turned into an arc, both of them were a little nervous. No matter how realistic the simulation training is, it cannot restore the real on-the-spot atmosphere.

The friction between the high-speed airflow and the fuselage, the rhythmic mechanical vibration coming from under him, and the slightly smelly cool air blowing out from the mask all made Xingji feel surprisingly calm while slightly nervous.

"The engine and ship will separate in ten seconds."

"Three! Two! One!"

"Separation!"

The countdown ended, and in the upper atmosphere [-] meters above the ground, the hydraulic separator successfully pushed the Feiyan out, and then the Aurora, which was the carrier aircraft, began to maneuver and accelerate to leave.

"Feiyan's core-stage engine ignites!"

The huge roar and strong vibration instantly enveloped Christen and Xingji, and the two of them were also firmly pressed on the back of the seat and began to rise rapidly.

At that distance, only a single blip of rocket engine exhaust could be seen on the ground-based lidar that tracks the vehicle's status.

And as time went by, the water vapor ejected from the rocket engine nozzle condensed into tiny ice crystals in the cold upper atmosphere, reflecting the sunlight and pulling out a bright trace in the early morning night sky, which began to churn and spread out after a while.

"Feiyan has arrived at the scheduled shutdown position!"

"The systems are working fine!"

"Apogee orbit altitude 800 kilometers!"

"The orbit is safe, and we are about to enter cruise mode."

As the main engine was shut down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the hall of the ground command center became a lot more noisy in an instant. Everyone whispered excitedly about this unprecedented feat in Terra's history.

"Kristen, and Xingji, how do you feel?" Little Dinosaur picked up the microphone and asked while leaning on the main console.
