Wan Hang patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder, nodded to Colonel Lu, and left the room.
Colonel Lu looked as if he had eaten a fly: "How on earth did you please that person?"
Wang Ping'an shrugged: "I don't know either. Maybe my father is the old man's lost son and I am actually his grandson?"
Colonel Lu pretended not to hear Wang Ping'an's nonsense, and turned to Angeli: "Are you in uniform?"
"The report is in the suitcase!" Angele continued to shout in a energetic voice.
Wang Ping'an: "Do you have any misunderstanding about us when you keep shouting like this? We don't have to be so loud to drive warships here."
Angeli looked at Wang Ping'an in astonishment: "Is it okay?"
"Of course. In fact, we were not required to speak loudly when we were in the flight academy, but when going up the stairs, we required all three to go together."
Colonel Lu coughed, interrupted Wang Ping'an's words, and then said seriously to Angeli: "This man is slippery-tongued. He didn't tell the truth when he lied to my daughter. You must discount anything he says.
"
Wang Pingan nodded seriously: "Yes, so when I told you that the relative speed of the two ships was 10 meters per second, it was actually five meters per second."
"Wang Ping'an!"
"I'm following what you said. My dad taught me the secret of pleasing your boss last night, which includes following your boss in everything. Angele also heard it!"
"Shut up!"
"yes."
Wang Ping'an shut up and stood at attention, assuming a standard military posture.
Angele: "I probably know why you can't be promoted. The fact that you can stay in the Space Force shows that the Space Force is quite humane."
Colonel Lu stared at Angeli for a few seconds and suddenly said: "You are still willing to talk to him under such circumstances, and in front of me as a colonel, I probably understand why the super computer assigned you to him as a partner.
"Second Lieutenant, please go to the women's restroom and change your clothes. You two will leave on flight HL81 at noon today."
Wang Pingan and the girl saluted together: "Yes."
**
Afterwards, Wang Ping'an was waiting in front of the public toilet in the corridor on the third floor of the Air Traffic Control Commission, waiting for Angeli to finish changing into her military uniform.
A captain came out of the men's room. When he saw Wang Pingan, he said hello: "Hey, isn't this a disaster? It's your shift?"
Wang Huaxiang is the nickname of Wang Ping'an. At the beginning, he performed a wave of ground-skimming flight when he was flying a training aircraft in the atmosphere. He even broke the sound barrier and blew several students away. Since then, he has become like this
a nickname.
Wang Ping'an quite likes this nickname. They say that a bad name makes a living, but a bad name can last for thousands of years.
Wang Ping'an: "I will go up today, resume the voyage, and board the spacecraft em161 at L2."
"Then you are really unlucky. In the current position of Earth Fire, you will have to fly for at least 30 weeks."
"32 weeks."
"It's so unlucky that you're flying alone? It's even more unlucky."
"No, this time," Wang Ping'an scratched his head, "the computer matched me with a partner, and I won't be allowed to take off without her."
"Looks like you've been diagnosed with redness, right? I've long thought you would be red, but you've managed to hold on for so long. Are you giving money to the psychiatrist responsible for the examination?"
Wang Ping'an shrugged: "How could it be possible? My psychology..."
"So what kind of partner is it?" the captain interrupted Wang Ping'an. It seemed that he was used to dramas like his claiming that he was normal.
Wang Ping'an: "As beautiful as if she had stepped out of a painting."
"Damn, your description is so stupid that I'm allergic to it. Be careful, it's very troublesome to get pregnant on a spaceship. You can only use the equipment on the spacecraft to abort. I'll share with you how to use the equipment on the spacecraft to modify surgical equipment.
"
As he spoke, the captain took out his mobile phone and started operating it. Wang Ping'an's mobile phone sounded a notification sound indicating that he had received a document.
Just as Wang Ping'an was about to speak, Angeli came out of the women's restroom.
The girl seems to look better in military uniform than in casual clothes, especially the military uniform skirt, which is much more charming than her original long skirt.
And the boat-shaped hat on her hair looks like a decoration on her body.
The captain who had been talking to Wang Pingan turned around when he heard the footsteps, and immediately gasped.
Wang Ping'an: "The change is pretty fast."
"Yeah." Angeli said, grabbing Wang Ping'an's hand, clasping his palms with both hands, and then observing his expression intently.
Wang Ping'an: "What do you mean?"
"You actually act like you're okay?"
"I'm misogynist, but I'm not phobic of women." Wang Ping'an said with a bitter smile and shook off the girl's hand.
Angele: "How do you usually get along with girls?"
"Get along like you saw. Do you think I will say nasty things to a girl when I see her? I'm not that naive, and the psychiatrist's diagnosis is nonsense. I don't distrust women, I just think women are very
bother."
"Wait a minute!" The captain finally interrupted, "What's going on? What's going on with this beautiful foreign girl?"
Wang Ping'an and Angeli looked at each other, and then began to recite the words of the officer's doctrine: "The Joint Space Force is a multinational joint force, with participants from all countries..."
"No, no, no, I'm not asking why she is here still wearing a military uniform, I'm asking what her interaction with you is like? You are holding hands, in front of me! And you are not letting single people live.
?”
Angele: "I am his partner, assigned by the supercomputer."
Wang Ping'an: "You should use what you said yesterday, 'I am your antidote.' Did you hear that, Captain, she is my antidote."
Captain: "So this is a red benefit?"
Wang Pingan and Angeli nodded together.
The captain immediately looked like he was breathing: "Oh my God, I feel something is wrong. I must have a mental problem. I need a doctor!"
Then the captain just ran away.
Angele asked doubtfully: "Who is it?"
"Wang Baoguo of our flying team is one level below me."
"Then he was a captain."
"Well, okay, let's go. HL81 will take off in two hours. This kind of flight won't wait for anyone."

Although human spacecraft in space have basically eliminated fission reactors and supporting engines and entered the era of fusion reactors and supporting jet engines, the distance from the earth to orbit will still be completed by traditional rockets.
Of course, this "traditional rocket" is completely different from the same type of thing in the pre-aerospace era, but the underlying principle is still the same.
It is not that humans have never imagined other ways to get from the earth to the orbit, one of the most fanciful ones is the orbital elevator.
However, even now, there are more than 10 million humans living in outer space, the most distant manned scientific research station has been built in the Kuiper Belt, and the idea of an orbital elevator has not been realized.
In fact, starting from the previous five-year plans, the world government has given up its efforts to build more convenient and faster transportation from earth to orbit, and has turned its focus to thorough and comprehensive space industrialization. As long as humans can produce all products in space, the earth will
is no longer necessary.
However, even if all products can be produced in space, humans will still be bound to the earth.
Astronauts who perform missions in space for a long time have a high probability of developing psychological problems. Medically, this is called space syndrome. It is said to be a disease caused by being in the vast void for a long time and suffering from the unknown and loneliness.
Curing this disease is very simple, just go back to the ground for vacation regularly, whether it is the ground of the earth or the ground of Mars. Of course, the ground of the earth is the best.
The so-called "gravity-bound soul" is a mockery of this regular vacation.
It is said that the second generation of humans born in space can ignore this symptom, but even now that there are 10 million people living outside the earth, the number of second generation humans born in space is extremely rare.
The human soul should be bound by gravity for a long time.
All in all, half of the current transportation capacity from the earth to the orbit is not used to transport cargo, but to transport "gravity-bound souls" returning for vacation.
The launch site remains busy.
The cargo launch site is mainly composed of electromagnetic acceleration orbits, and dozens of launches are organized every day, mainly to launch luxury goods that are not currently produced in space.
Each container launched from the electromagnetic orbit contains a large amount of tobacco, alcohol, and candies, as well as various fashions, luxurious furniture, etc. However, the electromagnetic orbit cannot launch people, because even a new generation of humans who have been genetically adjusted cannot withstand
Huge overload during electromagnetic orbit launch.
The main launch method at the passenger launch site is "traditional rocket". This launch method has many advantages. First of all, the jet velocity of the rocket is not that fast, so it is not prone to accidents.
The jet ejected by the tritium reflection engine of the fusion-powered spacecraft can reach ten times the speed of sound. If it is sprayed on the ground, a major accident will occur.
Secondly, traditional rockets are actually very economical, and all parts except propellant can be recycled.
Finally, there is a kind of old-time romance when traditional rockets are launched. Things like tritium reflection engines cannot bring such romance, because high-efficiency engines will convert most of the heat of the jet into kinetic energy, and the engine jet
The temperature is actually very low, and there is no dazzling luminous effect. Of course, the sound is still loud, after all, the jet velocity reaches hypersonic speed.
It is said that in the pre-aerospace era, people would bring their families with them to watch the rocket take off, and the dazzling and bright rocket tail flame would bring them a series of beautiful reveries.
Nowadays, many families actually go to the launch site for picnics on weekends to watch the spectacular space launches.
Wang Pingan's father did the same thing back then, so Wang Pingan made up his mind to become an astronaut.
Wang Ping'an told Angeli this on the commuter bus to the launch site.
Angele: "You don't seem to be particularly resistant to talking to me."
"I don't resist communicating with anyone, even girls."
"Hey, that's it."
Just when he was about to say something more, the little boy sitting in front pointed at him and Angeli and said to his mother: "Mom, let's get married!"
Angele: "It seems that the children think we are very much like a couple."
Wang Ping'an: "You look quite happy? Don't girls generally hate this kind of misunderstanding?"
"I feel alright."
"Well, you are French."
"You are prejudiced. Most of the people in France are black now. No one likes a white girl like me."
While they were chatting, the child who had just yelled turned around and lay on the backrest, looked at Wang Pingan and Angeli and asked: "Are you two astronauts?"
"Yes." Angeli nodded first.
Little boy: "My mother said that the universe can eat people's spirits, so you astronauts have to come to the earth regularly. She also said that if you stay in space for a long time, it will become abnormal."
The mother was shocked and stopped the boy's mouth: "What is this kid talking nonsense? I'm so sorry, two comrades astronauts, he is talking nonsense."
Wang Ping'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, we are not wearing blue hats. Remember, kid, don't say that if you meet someone wearing blue hats."
The child replied energetically: "I know!"
Wang Ping'an tried to change the topic and asked the mother: "You took your child to the launch site..."
"The child's father is coming back for vacation." The mother said, glancing at Angeli quietly, and said in a low voice, "After the new regulations are implemented, every male astronaut will be matched with... such a beautiful woman.
astronaut?"
Angele: "Not necessarily. The ratio of male to female astronauts is almost three to one. However, according to the latest research results, female astronauts have certain advantages in space flight, so we are working to increase the number of female astronauts."
Wang Ping'an: "But there are few girls who are good at mathematics, so the work of increasing female astronauts is not going well."
Wang Ping'an felt like his foot had been stepped on.
The mother didn't notice the change in Wang Ping'an's expression at all, but looked thoughtful.
Her son cried out: "Mom, please don't pinch my hand, it hurts so much!"
The woman suddenly woke up and said, "Oh, baby, don't cry, be good~ Mommy will give you White Rabbit toffee."
"I have some candy here, it's astronaut toffee." Angele took out the white toffee and handed it to the little boy.
Woman: "No, I have it here."
"I'm about to board the spaceship, and this candy will be rationed," Angele said.
The child looked at his mother eagerly.
The woman finally agreed: "Hurry up and say thank you, sister."
"Thank you sister."
Angele smiled, and then said with a gentle smile: "By the way, if you are worried that your husband is having an affair, I can help you check..."
Wang Ping'an stepped on Angeli's foot hard.
The girl looked at him in astonishment.
Wang Ping'an: "You think I'm retaliating for stepping on my toes just now, but that's not the case. I'm reminding you that Chinese people will not intrude into other people's private areas so recklessly. You have to control the distance between people, okay!"
Angele was greatly shocked: "Do you still understand the distance between people?"
"Of course I understand. I am a Chinese after all. Anyway, you shouldn't have asked this question just now..."
Just at this time, the bus arrived at the stop, and as soon as the door opened, the Chinese version of "The Glorious Guide" was played from the loudspeaker outside.
Just now the mother grabbed the little boy and ran away.
Wang Ping'an: "Let's go, get off the car. Get your luggage."
When the two got off the bus, the bus attendant bowed to them respectfully: "I wish you a safe journey, comrade astronaut."
Wang Ping'an saluted, got out of the car, and then saw from a distance the mother and son hugging a tall man wearing a Space Force uniform.
He subconsciously stopped and Angelie bumped into his back.
"Ouch!"
Wang Ping'an felt that the elasticity was very meaningless, and complained: "Idiot, your fat will affect your turning in space."
The "mass autonomous movement method" is a general term summarized in the long-term space development process that relies on flexibly moving the muscles of the hands, feet and trunk to complete posture adjustment movements without the help of external forces.
Large pieces of fat will seriously affect astronauts' ability to perform the "mass autonomous movement method". Therefore, female astronauts generally undergo surgery to remove excess fat from their bodies.
Angele showed an unhappy expression for the first time: "This level of fat can be easily overcome by getting used to it. All my cosmic activity subjects are S! I scored higher than you!"
