"Everyone is here, meet on the playground in five minutes." Zhou Libin shouted loudly.
Ma Wu quickly got up. Although he didn't want to leave the warm bed, he would be punished by running laps if he couldn't get up.
Liao Qingsong, who was on the bunk above him, had already dressed and came down.
On the playground of the base, it was still dark, and some sparse snowflakes were slowly falling.
Every snowflake is different, and every person is different.
The difference between people and snowflakes is that people can change themselves through learning and training, while snowflakes can only turn into ice or water.
From a human perspective, a snowflake's life is short and fragile. From a planetary perspective, a human life is not the same.
Ma Wu, Liao Qingsong and others were wearing thick training uniforms and standing in the wind and snow.
"Start training now and warm up." Zhou Libin ordered.
The space agency team on the other side was already running neatly on the playground.
The first day of training was not too tiring.
In the evening, everyone was arranged to go to the base's physical examination center for a comprehensive physical examination.
After dinner, there is cultural class.
As future astronauts, they not only need to pass physical fitness, but also professional knowledge.
Although the training seems very hard, the instructors at the base know that these trainings are within the tolerance of the human body and will not stress the body too much to avoid leaving hidden injuries.
The training and cultural classes in these three months are all basic types.
As for life-sustaining cabin training, spacecraft operation training, space survival life training, spacecraft maintenance training, emergency response, experimental equipment operation, etc., they are the tasks of the second and third semesters.
The actual operation will not start until the fourth semester.
These trainings are simply too simple for the space agency's astronaut reserve. After all, the space agency's previous training was very intensive.
The reason why this joint training is relatively simple is mainly because the technology has improved, and the load-bearing requirements of the human body do not need to be so high. Only those who can withstand an overload of 5 to 7g can pass.
"Huh...huh..."
When running in the winter, streaks of white gas keep coming out of the track.
Ma Wu was a pilot before, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that it was too cold.
He is from the southern part of Dongdao Island. He suddenly went from a subtropical climate to a temperate continental climate. Moreover, he came here in winter, so it would definitely be difficult for him to adapt.
The students finished the 3-kilometer run, and the sun in the north came out lazily at this time.
Although the winter sun in Mongolia is not without warmth.
Suddenly three flying objects in mid-air attracted Ma Wu's attention. They were three airships shining brightly in the sun.
"What are you looking at?" Liao Qingsong looked in the direction of Ma Wu:
"These airships should be Galaxy Technology's transport airships!"
"Maybe!"
After the students took a break, they went to wash up and prepare for dinner.
…
"Come Sangenda! This is the transport airship No. 029. Please come back after receiving it!"
"oo29, Sangenda came to receive it."
"Requesting to dock in port."
"Approved, berth No. 16."
When the captain heard this, he quickly said loudly: "Everyone is in position, berth No. 16."
"receive."
"receive."
Li Chengye was working as a trainee pilot on the OO29 transport airship at this time.
He didn't know that he had just passed by Ma Wu, but he still meticulously reported the altitude and orientation parameters of the airship.
The airship cockpit is imitated from the airplane cockpit, but the airship cockpit is relatively simpler than the airplane cockpit.
As a transport airship, there are usually four people, namely a captain (pilot), two deputy captains (secondary pilots), and an administrator.
Under the command of the tower of the airship transport station, the oo28, oo29, and oo3o transport airships slowly parked at the corresponding berths.
Under the huge airship airbag are 10 containers with a gross weight of 28 tons. Some of these containers are refrigerated containers and some are ordinary containers.
The trucks at the airship transport station are ready, and as soon as the airship parks, it will come to pick up the containers.
The containers for transporting airships are placed sideways in the middle of the airship. In addition to the airbags, the cabin of the transporting airship is set up like this. The head is the cockpit, the middle is the cargo compartment, and the tail is the battery compartment and the submetallic hydrogen storage compartment.
.
In order to facilitate transportation, there is no contact between the cargo compartment and the ground. The distance between the cargo compartment and the ground is just enough for the tractor truck to reverse into the bottom of the airship.
The airship cockpit then unloads the container onto the truck.
The unloading speed is very fast, and 1o containers can be unloaded in less than ten minutes.
Similarly, if the container is to be transported onto an airship, it is very simple. Simply dump the container truck under the airship, and then use the grabbing device in the airship cargo compartment to load the container into the airship.
Of course, the actual situation is not that fast. The administrator needs to check the cargo in the container with the truck driver and complete the handover or delivery.
"Lao Hu! The takeoff will be delayed for two hours." The administrator opened the cockpit door.
Lao Hu is the captain.
"What's wrong?"
"The equipment of the meat processing plant is out of order, and there are still two containers of pork, but not all the beef." said the manager, stall stall hand.
Lao Hu turned his head and asked: "Is the Chengye battery fully charged?"
"Full!" Li Chengye nodded and returned.
"Old rules, Xiaoming, if you stay on the airship this time, what do you want to eat?" Lao Hu patted the other deputy captain, Zhang Xiaoming, and asked.
"Two meat buns, a bowl of spicy soup, and if you have any fruit, buy some." Zhang Xiaoming gave Lao Hu fifty yuan.
"ok."
Delayed takeoff of airships is a common occurrence, and things and people cannot always be smooth sailing.
So Lao Hu and the others could take the opportunity to rest and eat near the airship transport station. Obviously, this was not the first time they had done this.
The airship transportation management company is also relatively relaxed in this regard. Of course, it is okay to go out to eat and drink, but you cannot be detected for drunk driving or drug driving while driving. Once found, you will be banned from flying for life.
Lao Hu, Li Chengye, and the administrator were wrapped in down jackets and sunglasses. If they don't wear sunglasses in the ice and snow, they may suffer from snow blindness.
There is a commercial street near the airship station, where many locals have opened restaurants, snack bars, grocery stores and convenience stores.
The three of them walked into a Lao Qin Hu Spicy Soup.
"Boss! Three bowls of spicy soup, six steamed buns, and other old rules."
"It's Lao Hu! Come right away." The bald Lao Qin shouted with a smile.
Just as Lao Hu and the others sat down, three more people came to the door.
"Lao Hu! Has the airship been delayed?"
Hearing this voice, Lao Hu knew who it was: "Biaozi, everything goes well!"
"Forget it, the wind and snow in Shanxi Province have been so heavy these days, I can't go directly to the stratosphere." The tall Biaozi said helplessly.
"Haha, God doesn't do good things, what can we do?"
"There shouldn't be any problem if you go from Shadu to Beiping and Jin City, right?" Biaozi and the others sat down and asked.
"No, there hasn't been much wind or snow in the past half month."
After a while, Lao Qin came over with three bowls of spicy soup and six meat buns.
"Biaozi or the old rules?"
"Old rules."
After taking a sip of Hu spicy soup, Lao Hu asked, "How do you arrange Biaozi's Chinese New Year?"
"I plan to keep running, what about you?"
"If you take a break during the New Year, you won't be able to make enough money." Lao Hu replied with a smile.
A group of people chatted while eating and drinking. Airship pilot can be said to be an emerging profession.
The airship transportation company currently owns only 47 airships. This number can only be said to be a drop in the bucket for the huge domestic transportation market.
However, with the gradual expansion of airship transportation companies, this number will increase at least 10 times by the end of 2o19.
Airship transportation has become a powerful part of the domestic cargo market, and the Civil Aviation Administration is now both sad and happy.
If Galaxy Technology hadn't built a small computing center for them in order to cooperate with them, the planning and arrangement of these airship routes would have given the Civil Aviation Administration of China a headache.
