Not long after the launch vehicle ascended into the sky, a faint white mist suddenly appeared at the top, which quickly spread around and disappeared like a cloud ring.
It was the effect of breaking the sound barrier, and the crackling sound of the sonic boom was directly submerged in the thunderous roar of the rocket engine.
Powered by the powerful chemical rocket engine, the conical tip of the launch vehicle with heat-insulating tiles does not care about the layers of air in front of it, and twists to form a translucent sound cone shock wave, as if the space is also distorted.
The high-speed friction of the air quickly creates an extremely high temperature at the top of the cone. The insulation material quickly vaporizes and disintegrates layer by layer, taking away a large amount of high temperature. The rocket pierces the atmosphere arrogantly and shoots straight into the blue sky at the fastest speed in the universe.
It may only take about ten minutes, after the interceptor rocket releases the chemical propulsion fuel of astonishing quality, it can smoothly send the top-heavy carrier capsule into a high orbit in outer space, and fly to a preset location through a small propulsion engine.
The assembly space coordinates of .
"Buzhou Mountain, it's like a dream. How could the superiors start the Buzhou Mountain project so quickly? I always thought it was a model stored in the exhibition hall. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to watch it take off in our lifetime.
Maybe we can board it and personally maintain and operate this unprecedented high-orbit skyport."
Meng Yinan muttered to himself, still staring at the launch vehicle that turned into a small dot and quickly disappeared from sight.
As the well-informed Wang Xueping revealed on a small scale some time ago, the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics has made great efforts and suddenly unexpectedly announced the launch of the "Buzhoushan" space development plan internally, and began to build an unprecedented high-space orbit outside the earth's atmosphere.
A large space port, and it is not yet a space station known to the world.
Wang Xueping looked at the faint sound of rolling thunder in the sky and said with emotion: "Now it is no longer like in the past that each batch can only send two or three people into space. The large-scale launch technology of the national aerospace industry has made breakthroughs in several extremely important technologies."
The key is that the overall technology has been rapidly improved and matured. Therefore, the newly-built Buzhoushan Space Port, which has been put on hold for a while, requires many astronauts to build and maintain. The previous astronauts have confirmed the launch list. Now the training center has increased the training density and
This subject proves that astronauts of our generation also have a great chance to board the space port in a short time."
As long as you are willing to inquire in the aerospace training center, you can easily ask for some important information with the authority of an astronaut.
Because the United States, one of the member states of the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit about 330 kilometers above the ground, rejected China’s plan to join the International Space Station and strictly restricted the transfer of space technology, excluding China from the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and the European Space Station.
In addition to the International Space Station, a total of 16 countries participated in the development of the Bureau (11 countries).
The Chinese can only rely on the backward technology provided privately by Russia, and rely on their own scientists and technical funds to build China's own aerospace technology through painstaking efforts.
After hearing Wang Xuejun's words, Wei Yunyi looked at the empty launcher and seemed to be muttering to herself: "It's like a dream! Did it get alien technology? Why did it suddenly activate 'Buzhou Mountain'?"
'The plan is so surprising."
"Maybe I just got an opportunity. I heard that I made a major breakthrough in materials science, which suddenly promoted the progress of many key core technologies. Now the so-called technological development is actually just a helpless compromise because the materials cannot meet the requirements.
And when new materials emerge, the original technical bottleneck will no longer exist."
Even though Wang Xuejun is the youngest among this class of astronauts, he is not only well-informed, but also has a high level of knowledge through deliberate training since childhood. Otherwise, he would not have participated in the selection of astronauts at such a young age.
.
In fact, China's aerospace technology has already reached a certain bottleneck. It is said that it is stuck in the most basic materials science of the aerospace industry and is just a step away. As long as this hurdle is crossed, it will be able to make rapid progress.
Although they don't know where this precious opportunity came from, all the astronauts have personally felt that the country's aerospace technology has ascended a huge step and entered a new world.
This does not seem to be a last resort, but the use of C-4 blasting technology, which directly and brutally blew open the solid door. Aerospace Technology has collectively jumped into a new technological level with full bloom and strength, and achieved rapid progress.
"It would be great if the boss is still here. Maybe he can become an astronaut now and board the Skyport with us."
Meng Yinan thought of a boss who once protected him and gave him a lot of help. His skillful and ferocious aerial combat skills made him admire him to the core.
"Lin Mo? No. 1?" Wang Xuejun's expression changed. He realized who Meng Yinan was referring to, and suddenly his tense muscles relaxed. He exhaled a long breath and said with some regret: "With the current aerospace technology,
, the original reason for eliminating him no longer exists, but he has missed it."
Although he was once unconvinced, he still had to admit that Lin Mo, who was eliminated in the final round, was actually the most suitable person to be an astronaut in their class.
The original reason for elimination surprised everyone. The aerospace carrying capacity at that time could not support Lin Mo's material consumption. Although his performance was among the best candidates, he could only leave and become an aerospace company.
These people who are members.
"what a shame!"
Wei Yunyi nodded, with deep regret in her tone.
Times create heroes, one moment at a time and another at that moment.
Qi Ping and other astronauts at the same time had the same expression. They had been in the training center for so long and they knew more or less the history of the astronauts. Lin Mo was not the only one who missed this great opportunity.
Due to various technical reasons, there are not many seniors who have no choice but to waste their youth on China's journey to space. How many of them have never even touched the edge of space until they retire.
Generations of astronauts have received all kinds of rigorous training and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the country's aerospace industry. They have always been prepared without regrets and waited hard for the opportunity to make achievements. In the end, they could only retire in despair.
The older generation of astronauts did not pay and wait for this in vain.
Now the country has finally overcome many difficulties and has prepared everything for this, so that the astronauts will no longer waste their precious youth.
After most of these or other obstacles no longer exist, what the Chinese want to build is not a space station, but a real space port, a man-made space object that is larger than the space station and has more comprehensive functions, in order to officially go into space.
The space port can accommodate more Chinese astronauts to study the mysteries of outer space, carry out various space experiments, and make great strides to catch up with the space technology gap with the United States and Russia.
"No, I believe that the boss will definitely be able to board the Skyport! I heard that foreigners can go to space as long as they spend a certain amount of money. I can save money for the boss to pay for the travel expenses to the Skyport. He has such a foundation, superiors
I will definitely not refuse.”
Compared with other people's pity and sympathy for Lin Mo, Meng Yinan could not see such a look on his face. He was full of confidence in Lin Mo. How could this unprecedented space milestone for mankind not include the boss? He was willing to cooperate with Lin Mo.
Shared by the boss.
The cost of sending an astronaut into space is not low. Although the cost is high, it is nothing compared to the country's financial and material resources.
If you pay for it yourself, the threshold may be much lower, but the quoted cost will never be much lower than the actual cost spent by the state. It may even be double or ten times the cost.
Although Meng Yinan's idea is too whimsical, but with the astronauts within the system taking the lead, the door may not be completely closed. As long as it passes the approval of superiors, it means there is still a chance.
Meng Yinan was somewhat confident when he thought of this method. The salary of astronauts is not low at all. As long as he saves for a few more years and borrows some more, the cost of launch will be reduced a lot. This seemingly bold idea may be
It will come true.
"Haha, this is a good idea, count me in!"
Wei Yunyi walked up to Meng Yinan and stretched out her palm. No matter what, she admired Meng Yinan's idea and was willing to help.
You reap what you sow, and you reap what you sow. Lin Mo is considered a candidate with good popularity and prestige during this astronaut selection process, and now he can actually find two astronauts who are willing to go crazy with him.
"Thank you!" Meng Yinan's face turned slightly red, she nodded vigorously, and pressed Wei Yunyi's palm without any pretense.
One manpower is short, and two men are long. With Wei Yunyi joining, the distance to this space ticket will be shorter.
"How can such a good thing be omitted from me? Count me in!"
Qi Ping came over and pressed his hand on the back of Meng Yinan's hand. Maybe his relationship with Lin Mo was not as deep as Meng Yinan's, but he was also unwilling to let an outstanding astronaut miss such a grand event.
During the simulated air combat exercises during the astronaut selection training, Lin Mo's courage to share his valuable air combat skills and experience with everyone without any secrets won him the favor of many people.
"Well said, count me in!"
"And I!"
"It sounds interesting, I'll join in too!"
"There is strength in numbers, let's take No. 1 (Lin Mo) to the sky together!"
"Haha, same as the one above! Second the motion!"
Wang Xuejun saw that other astronauts expressed their willingness to join Meng Yinan's absurd idea, so he didn't want to be too isolated from the masses. At least, Lin Mo and him no longer had a competitive relationship, so it was better to go along with the flow and sell favors.
With so many people participating, no matter how big the sum is, it will only be a small sum if spread to each individual. Maybe the country will give some discounts to former candidates because of their reputation.
Anyway, that's all. Wang Xuejun also walked up, pressed his hand on it, and said loudly: "I'm coming too!"
Meng Yinan, Wei Yunyi and others looked at it. The guy who used to like to confront Lin Mo ignored the past and joined in. They smiled knowingly at each other and shouted in unison: "Come on!"
