Chapter 446: A Flash Send from the Stars
After this mission, Lin Fan felt like vomiting when he saw Lan Xingyi and the world map.
But there are also benefits.
After going around in circles so many times, she is almost familiar with the geography of the world, the distribution and main regions of each G family.
Although the standby time has not increased significantly this time, the rest time has been slightly shortened.
A week later, Lin Fan came to the transmitting tower again.
Only this time, she did not go to the top of the launch tower, but stood under the tower.
On the fixed frame of the launch tower, there is a space capsule hanging, which is the target of this mission - a weather observation satellite to be sent into space.
The launch center really didn’t expect Xingchen’s flight plan to go so smoothly and recover so quickly.
While he was overjoyed, in order to ensure the smooth launch of the space shuttle, he continued to give Lin Fan extra tests.
The first time it measured endurance, the second time it measured speed and distance, and this time it was weight bearing.
After all, although the star escort is just a precaution, in the end, you must be prepared to carry the aircraft in space.
So even though Xingchen has a very strong load-bearing capacity, according to the process, it is best to give it a try.
The satellite now on the launch tower was originally expected to be launched this month.
However, due to the sudden success of the space shuttle, the launch plan was temporarily adjusted. The backup satellite made way for the space shuttle, which was postponed until next month.
Now that stars have to carry weight into space, this satellite comes in handy.
On the one hand, it acts as a heavy object, and on the other hand, it can save a rocket by going to the sky according to the original plan.
As we all know, rockets are disposable products and will be scrapped after propelling the spacecraft into space. This is money for both young and old!
Country H is not short of money, but in this case, if it can be saved, why not?
So it became the situation today.
Staff are still inspecting the capsule above.
Although it is sending a satellite into space, it is not directly carrying the satellite up.
Considering the intense fire when crossing the ozone, a space capsule with a thickened heat insulation layer was specially added to the satellite.
Lin Fan squatted under a small tree near the launch tower, holding branches to write and draw on the ground, waiting for the satellite module to be inspected.
This time, the master control has many more work programs than the previous two times.
After all, Xingchen, as an individual, has nothing to check.
But this time, the satellite cabin was dismantled in consideration of recycling.
Xingchen will release the satellite in a predetermined orbit, push it to fly autonomously, and then assemble the space capsule and bring it back.
Easier said than done.
So this time, although there is no manned program and no rocket, the tightness check of the space capsule is also very important.
After waiting and waiting, the tool man Lin Fan finally reached the countdown stage of launch.
She also stood directly under the aviation cabin step by step.
The fixed frame slowly opened, Lin Fan transformed into a star, slowly rose up, holding the cabin with both hands.
Because of this special mission, the technicians specially welded many grippable handles for Xingchen throughout the cabin.
The ten-second countdown ended, and Xingchen slowly ascended with her hands high in the space capsule, which was many times larger than her.
I don't dare to fly too fast because I'm afraid that the thing above my head is unstable and will fall.
The experience of flying with heavy objects on your head is not unknown, but how can it be so valuable?
It took Lin Fan a while to get used to it, and after confirming that it was safe, he accelerated his flight.
Under the request of the master controller, it maintained the same speed as the rocket and successfully sent the satellite to the established orbit.
Lin Fan sat on the satellite with its solar wings slowly unfolding, feeling a sense of accomplishment soaring.
Finally done something practical!
In the past two times, although she felt a sense of accomplishment and the base felt successful, she felt that it was too weak.
Progress is progress, but going around and around...anyway, it is not as practical as sending a satellite up this time.
After confirming that the satellite was operating normally, Lin Fan turned back to find the shell of the aviation cabin that she had just left aside.
The space capsule was floating not far away from the satellite. The stars spread their wings and fixed the buckles in two or two times, but they no longer wanted to hold it high above their heads.
When she came up, these weights had no effect on her. On the contrary, she was very tired from holding her hands up all the time.
It’s just an empty shell anyway, so there’s no need to pay so much attention to it.
Grab a handle with one hand and drag it back easily. This space was super shocking when I first came here.
Everything is new, everything is interesting, I feel like I am a speck of dust in the universe...
to the second flight around the stars.
She was happy when she first came up, but maybe because she flew too much later, it was too dull and boring. The appeal of the dark space to her was greatly reduced.
Too much is not enough, too much is not enough!
Now... when she saw the huge orchid star in front of her, she thought of world geography...
She couldn't help but shiver all over, feeling that she had been CPUed by something strange.
It’s better to go back quickly!
Three battles and three victories, the roar of the base was so loud that it wanted to knock off the ceiling of the main control room.
After they waited for Lin Fan's car to come back, they blocked the people at the door of the car.
Before Lin Fan could react, he was pulled up and thrown into the sky.
She looked at the sky, far and near, the clouds were rolling and relaxing.
The first reaction in my mind was: I don’t know where that satellite just flew to?
Everyone's joy quickly infected her. She didn't feel anything at all at first, but she couldn't help laughing happily at this time...
This time, because it was just a delivery, Lin Fan didn't exhaust his energy, so Lin Fan came down very relaxed.
After waiting for nearly another week, the space shuttle officially took flight.
The astronauts only knew the day before that the insurance company Xingchen would accompany them to space.
The already determined heart became even more stable.
This launch was finally decided to be announced to the public.
Billions of people are watching the live broadcast on their TVs and mobile phones, waiting for this epoch-making moment.
Song Ren, Li Chunhua, and everyone in 623 stopped their work and gathered together to watch the live broadcast.
Wang Fengfeng from the Special Affairs Office is watching.
Xue Ping, who was in the underground cave, also stopped what he was doing and led his team members to sit in the tent outside and watch the live broadcast on the computer.
Father Lin and Mother Lin were also sitting at home, waiting with the 50-inch TV on.
The red-haired Antonio was sitting on the top of a tall tree in the dense rain forest, looking at his mobile phone.
Ovi and other G members were sitting in the luxurious office of Country P, also watching the live broadcast.
The eyes of the whole world are focused on this moment.
And outside the camera, where they couldn't see, John Woo was accompanying Lin Fan.
“Don’t laugh,” Wu Yusen saw that Lin Fan didn’t seem to take flying to the sky seriously anymore, and said calmly, “They will start a star delivery business, specializing in sending things to space, and you will have it. Busy. ”
Department J has hurricane express, which must be delivered if specified.
Because of Xingchen’s easy and outstanding performance these few times, the Aerospace Science Department also wanted to organize a special gift of Xingchen so that Department J would not be the only one to be the best.
“Real or fake?” Lin Fan’s face immediately fell. "Then I am no longer a delivery girl?"
Is the end of science a takeaway?
Wu Yusen smiled, "Someone mentioned it, but it was rejected. Cui Yan said that the development of science cannot be concentrated on you alone."
"Cui Yan?" Lin Fan Startled.
For unknown reasons, they have never had a good sense of Cui Yan.
"Yes." John Woo also had a changed view of Cui Yan. "He said that stars are for emergencies, not for the poor. They can be used for emergencies, as insurance, and as support, but they cannot be used as nannies. The development of aerospace is necessary. Stand up yourself.”
Lin Fan listened and nodded slowly. "It makes sense."
No matter how powerful the stars are, they are still just one person.
The strength of a G family can never be tied to one person.
In the headset, the countdown to launch is counting down to ten minutes.
Wu Yusen helped Lin Fan adjust his hood and eyepieces, took two steps back, and smiled. "Go ahead and be careful. I'll always be watching you!"
"Okay." Lin Fan grinned as he watched John Woo take out his cell phone to take pictures of her.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
As countless people counted down in unison, stars appeared in the corners they could not see.
She raised one hand playfully, gave an irregular salute to John Woo, and slowly lifted into the air amidst the huge roar.
Went up, came down again, went up again, and then vomited...
