Chapter 645: Visiting the Spaceflight Base, Upgrading Technology, James: I feel like I have become God!
Under the leadership of the leadership team of the Tianhang base, the boarding personnel involved in the voyage plan began to visit the Tianhang spacecraft.
It was the first time for many of them to come to the Tianhang Base. They followed the team into the square and couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the huge Tianhang spacecraft from a distance.
Even though I have seen the spacecraft in the news and on TV, and I have read a lot of information during the training process, no matter the videos, information, or photos, they are far less shocking than seeing them live.
The highest point at the center of the spacecraft is more than 125 meters, which is equivalent to a conventional high-rise building of about 40 meters. However, generally high-rise buildings with many floors are just column-shaped buildings. The spacecraft in front of us is spherical, with a convex part in the center of the ball.
There is an oversized ring-shaped disk, which gives people a huge and magnificent feeling.
A specialized person said, "The highest point of the spacecraft is 125 meters, and the height of the bottom of the surrounding cabin in the middle is 46 meters. Now that the spacecraft has landed on the support column, it will appear taller."
"The surrounding cabin we see now is the area where everyone will work and live. It contains a control room, laboratory, living area, etc."
"From here, the surrounding cabin seems a bit small, but in fact it is very large. Each cabin is more than 16 meters high. Generally, the cabins are divided into four floors, and some are divided into two floors, such as living areas.
It is a four-story structure. One cabin is more than 120 square meters. On four floors, there are 500 square meters..."
Under the explanation of the relevant personnel, the boarding team has walked around the spacecraft. Because it is in the direction opposite to the sun, there is only a big shadow left here, and the whole spaceship can no longer be seen.
A very large ladder truck drove over.
This ladder truck is specially manufactured. The highest point of the ladder reaches 50 meters. It is no different from the ladder trucks used on passenger planes. The only thing is that it is large and supports a 50-meter-high slope. There are steps on the slope that can be moved.
There is also a narrow elevator running and it looks like a huge building.
In fact, the super large ladder truck is specially manufactured for the spacecraft. It is not mainly used to transport personnel, but to transport satellites, small spacecraft, and some high-precision equipment.
In the process of building the spacecraft, the super large ladder truck also played a big role. Otherwise, it would not be easy to transport the equipment to various places at a height of tens of meters.
Many people are shocked by the super large ladder truck.
After the ladder truck was fixed in position, they couldn't wait to walk in. Some of them took the steps and looked out the window. At a height of fifty meters, only taking the straight ladder would make people feel tired even if they went up there.
Went directly to the edge and took the elevator.
Ding Zhiqiang stood still and didn't move.
James was about to walk over there and asked casually, "Don't you go over?"
Ding Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Let's try the new technology together. You will definitely be very interested."
"oh?"
James was indeed interested.
The spacecraft is a collection of high-end technologies, many of which are unique to flower growers. Ding Zhiqiang specializes in technical theory, and the ‘new technologies’ he calls must be very interesting.
Paul Phil Jones's reaction was different. When he heard what Ding Zhiqiang said about the new technology, he immediately rushed into the ladder truck.
"What's wrong with him?" James didn't understand Paul Phil Jones's reaction.
Ding Zhiqiang laughed, "Paul is scared. He tried it once and never went up again."
"Why?"
"Think of him doing weightless training."
James opened his mouth. Paul's weightless training was by no means a good memory. Every time he came out of the training ground, he suffered from vomiting and diarrhea as if he was terminally ill.
The most important thing is that he is always shouting, seeming to show the fear of facing death.
Wang Hao suddenly came over and followed the topic and said, "That's true. Paul has always thought that new technology is cool. He couldn't wait to go up and try it. The result... was really interesting. The scene was crazy and crazy.
"
"After I watched it, I felt that he would not pass the training."
"Although we have gravitational field technology and the interior of the cabin will generally not be weightless, there is still the possibility of a weightless environment. After all, no one can guarantee that everything will go according to plan."
"How is he now?"
James greeted Wang Hao and said, "After experiencing it many times, I am stronger than before. At least I won't yell anymore, but at most I can only stay calm and can't do anything else."
"Well, this is also progress."
"Could it be that the new technology you are talking about is gravitational field technology?" James was suddenly stunned and asked Ding Zhiqiang.
Ding Zhiqiang nodded, "You'll know right away."
While several people were talking, they heard a shout from above. An engineer next to them waved to them, "That's it."
An engineer named Yuan Jiaxin came over and asked, "Academician Wang, do you also want to try it? However, this technology is still being tested, you..."
"I'm not going up."
Wang Hao pursed his lips helplessly, "Let Professor Ding and Professor James try it."
"Come with me."
Yuan Jiaxin is an engineer specifically responsible for testing the 'gravity ascent technology'. The technology has not yet matured to the level of regular application, and he needs to participate in every test.
As he spoke, he grabbed Ding Zhiqiang and James with his hands respectively and pulled them into a marked red circle.
The radius of this red circle is about two meters.
Yuan Jiaxin also reminded, "Stay as close to the small circle in the middle as possible. The area above will not be so large."
"clear."
Ding Zhiqiang acted very calmly because he had tried it several times.
James was always a little uneasy. He nervously grabbed Yuan Jiaxin's hand and asked, "If my guess is correct, gravity should be pulling us up, right?"
"Is such that."
"But if something goes wrong along the way, will we fall off?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course."
Yuan Jiaxin's extremely affirmative tone made James turn pale. He was indeed very courageous, but problems may arise with an uncertain new technology.
If something goes wrong, you will pay for it with your life, and the price is still too high.
Ding Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Kolot, of course you will be prepared for the test. There is a cushion underneath that can be inflated instantly. If something goes wrong, it will start instantly. We will fall to the cushion when the time comes."
"Besides, haven't you noticed? The place we step on is not strong, and there are springs underneath."
James pursed his lips, "What you said makes me feel a lot safer, but if you fall from a height of tens of meters, the spring alone will definitely not be enough, but if you are with me, there should be no risk."
After he figured it out, he became much calmer.
When the gravitational field equipment above was turned on, they immediately felt that their bodies seemed to become lighter, and slowly they developed a feeling of weightlessness. It seemed that they could jump very high just by jumping up.
soon.
Their footsteps left the ground and their bodies began to rise slowly.
This scene looked very shocking to others, and the people in the ladder car couldn't help but come to the window, "Look, James is flying!"
"And Ding Zhiqiang, who is the other one?"
"It looks like it's soaring in the daytime...flying out of thin air. What kind of technology is it?"
“How cool!”
"It should be the gravitational field technology. They didn't say it could go up like this? If I had known, I would have taken that one."
"It's so cool--"
When everyone was talking about it, James and Ding Zhiqiang, who were "flying in the day", didn't feel very good. The scene that looked cool on the outside was actually a special kind of weightlessness for them personally.
This is not only weightless, but also creates an upward gravitational force, which is equivalent to a weakened version of the inversion.
When the body is turned upside down, the brain becomes congested and the face becomes red. If it lasts for a long time, the mind may become dizzy.
Coincidentally, it takes a long time to experience new technologies.
The new technology does not turn on a higher-magnification gravitational field, but is slightly higher than the earth's gravity. The gravitational intensity will be adjusted midway, in order to keep people or objects moving at a constant speed to ensure maximum safety.
This really creates a sense of slow ascent.
The problem is that it is not easy to use stronger gravity to maintain a constant speed. The strength of the gravitational field needs to be fine-tuned. In addition, the technology is not perfect yet, so it will take a long time. Climbing 50 meters will take more than a hundred seconds.
It almost reached two minutes.
When Ding Zhiqiang and James reached the top together, their faces were reddened, and they were not as free and easy as flying in the daytime. Fortunately, they entered the equipment cabin first, where several engineers were debugging the gravity pull equipment.
.
Yuan Jiaxin climbed up the ladder, so he and others pulled Ding Zhiqiang and James up.
Ding Zhiqiang couldn't help but complain, "The last time I did this was more than a month ago, and I haven't made any progress yet."
An engineer explained helplessly, "It's easy to imagine technology, but it's difficult to improve equipment. We do have several options, but they all require manufacturing new equipment and conducting various tests."
"With this technology, stability is always the most important." Yuan Jiaxin also said.
"You are right."
James took a few deep breaths and was almost adjusted. He jumped twice adaptively, patted his cheeks with his hands, and adjusted his clothes. Then he gave Ding Zhiqiang a look, and they walked towards the door together.
.
After walking along the passage for more than 20 meters, they came to the cabin at the top of the ladder car, and there were many people inside.
Several people saw James and immediately came over, "Krot, how do you feel? You were so handsome just now."
"I thought you went to see God. Oh my God, you are still alive. It's amazing."
"That thing just now was super cool. If I had known it, I should have tried it."
"Is it weightlessness?"
James said relaxedly with a smile on his face, "It feels so good. I never thought that one day I would be able to fly directly from the ground. At that moment, I felt like I had become God."
"It's just rising out of thin air. It's just weightlessness. It's nothing at all."
"What a pity, I didn't take any pictures just now."
"Does anyone take pictures for me? I want to see my heroic appearance at that time..."
of course not.
Photography is not allowed inside the spacecraft, and the mobile phones and other electronic devices of boarding personnel have been temporarily kept.
After experiencing the gravity ascent technology, Corot James and the boarding personnel from other countries were deeply moved.
Everyone knows that the flower grower has mastered the gravitational field technology, but they only think that it can be used initially to create a gravitational field to balance the force field inside the cabin and allow the spacecraft to escape the weightless environment in space.
Only now did they discover that the gravitational field technology used by flower growers was no longer a preliminary application, but had begun to be expanded to various forms of application.
Gravity ascent technology only uses the gravitational field as a pulling tool, but needs to create a 50-meter gravitational channel, just like an alien spacecraft in a science fiction movie, which allows people to fly into the interior of the spacecraft.
If you think about it carefully, you will know how valuable this technology is.
Of course, there is a huge gap between annihilation technology and flower growers, which has long been accepted by others. The spacecraft they are about to board is a combination of technologies that they cannot imagine.
Next, everyone began to visit the interior of the spacecraft, and soon they were a lot shocked.
Just like the introduction by the instructor, the space inside the cabin was much larger than expected, and they all felt like they couldn't see it.
In the annular cabin of the spacecraft, 17 large manned cabins have been built, 14 of which are equipped with gravitational field equipment, three are large experimental rooms, three are living areas, and two negative control rooms.
There is a main control room, and the others are cargo rooms, equipment rooms, functional rooms, etc.
In the living cabin, there are two floors with an area of more than 200 square meters. It is a dedicated entertainment and leisure cabin. There are various fitness equipment and entertainment facilities inside. The venue looks very gorgeous.
Everyone on the boarding team was very surprised. The space voyage they imagined was to be huddled in a small corner, silently engaged in scientific research, and would last for a long time.
The current environment is completely different from what they imagined. They even feel like visiting a large cruise ship.
"It would be perfect if there was another bar."
"I feel like I'm here for a vacation, not to engage in a space flight program."
"It's incredible. It looks big from the outside, but even bigger inside. Have you seen the dormitory? Everyone has a two-meter bed, tables and chairs, and equipped with electronic equipment. It is more luxurious than an ordinary oil tanker.
."
"I just saw a whole computer. There seemed to be science fiction movies playing on it. I seemed to have seen which one. What was it called...Earth?"
""The Wandering Earth"?"
"seems like it."
"It's really interesting. It would be too easy without work. I just treat it as a special trip."
"The important thing is that not only do you not have to spend money, but you can also get a high salary and high insurance, and you can also travel to Jupiter, which the rich people can't get even if they wave their checks."
"There are also people coming up..."
A group of people were talking and couldn't help but look at a low-key figure--
