Chapter 148 Space Travel


In space, an airplane can circle the earth every ninety minutes at free speed. Everyone turned on their camera equipment to record the beautiful Earth in space.

The first circle of the spacecraft started from the sky over the western Xinjiang of China. Talking about the direction of the earth's rotation, it drifted to the East China Sea of ​​China, crossed Japan, swept across the vast and vast Pacific Ocean, flew over Canada, and then swept across the Atlantic Ocean, arriving in Africa. over the sky. Because the Earth's rotation has an angle with the ecliptic, the space shuttle flies in space not according to the dimensions on the Earth, but around the Earth's axis of rotation.

Then the plane did not return to the corresponding space position in Western Xinjiang, but staggered slightly to the south of the earth, passing through India, Southeast Asia, South America, South Africa, Australia, and finally arrived over Antarctica. Then it started the engine directly and flew over the North Pole. During this period, it also By the way, I took pictures of the Russian terrain.

The spectacular sunrise in space, the magnificence of the earth's dusk line, the dimly lit earth in the dark night make people feel the power of civilization, and the ancient monuments can be observed in the dotted space, making people feel the greatness of history. Looking down at most of the cities, buildings, etc. in modern society from space makes people feel even more proud from the bottom of their hearts - this is our civilization.

In space, there are no national boundaries and no barbed wire can be seen. Even if you want to see the Great Wall, you need a telescope.

When you are in space, you will forget the national boundaries on the earth. This is what many astronauts say. But now, Long Xinsheng really felt this sentence. With eyesight, it is impossible to accurately mark the borders of China, let alone other countries.

In space, the earth is a whole! Of course, this is just the worldview in the eyes of scientists.

Once upon a time, the United States said: Developing space requires gathering global strength - but China, with its own efforts, broke the Western blockade and moved to the forefront of the world with the strength of a country. This is a naked slap in the face.

Nowadays, Gaoshou Company has realized the development of space passenger transportation by relying on the power of a company. Maybe it is just the beginning now, but in the foreseeable future, it will be another glory.

The gentle female voice sounded again: "Everyone, please pay attention, please pay attention, the plane has completed its flight to the earth, and the next step will be to the moon. The next step will be to the moon."

Then the plane began to slowly accelerate without turning over, or in other words, in space, it didn't matter whether it was up or down.

As it slowly emerged from the earth's shadow, the strong sunlight scorched the aircraft.

The plane first slowly turned around to let everyone feel the power of the sun, and then pointed the belly side toward the sun and the porthole side toward outer space.

Under the clean space, the magnificent starry sky world shows unimaginable beauty. A Milky Way hangs in the sky, very far away and vast. Of course, without the astigmatism of the atmosphere, it would not be the kind of hazy starlight that looks connected together; it would be more like gems embedded in the sky, connected by clear "fogs" of various colors. . That's a space nebula—a massive aggregate of dust, gas, debris, and more.

"Haha, I found the North Star!" Someone shouted excitedly. But no one cares. Everyone is looking for the stars in their hearts, and they are all cheering.

At this moment, all the once high-ranking bosses disappeared. In this small cabin, there were only 16 human beings pursuing their dreams.

Long Xinsheng was not only looking at space, but also observing various satellites and space stations in space. China's space base with a radius of 100 meters, space bases in the United States and Europe, etc. are just small black spots in the context of the universe.

The voice sounded again, but it was not a gentle female voice, but the pilot's voice. "Dear passengers, please note that the aircraft is preparing to fly above the geostationary orbit altitude. Now the aircraft begins to accelerate. Let's experience the thrill of speed.

In addition, there is a small red button next to your porthole. Click it and the porthole will temporarily close and turn into a display screen showing the status of the aircraft. If the acceleration is too large and you feel uncomfortable, you can click the red button. Thanks.

Let me emphasize again, the plane starts to accelerate. If you feel uncomfortable, please click the red button next to the porthole. ”

Then, the voice once again changed to the female voice of the program, "The countdown begins now, please fasten your seat belts. 60, 59,..."

Long Xinsheng checked his seat belt and found that there was no problem at all. Then he clicked the button next to it, and sure enough, the porthole suddenly turned into darkness, and then quickly turned into a screen. This technology is far from being developed and has been around since the beginning of the 21st century.

The most obvious thing above now is a big countdown, which has reached 30.

Below, there are various status displays of the aircraft.

Thrust: 110 tons, now starting power is 5 tons;

Electricity: 10 million kWh, 270,000 kWh has been consumed;

Load mass: The nuclear load is 100 tons, and the current weight (mass) is 47 tons;

Working medium: Add antifreeze liquid water, nuclear load is 10 tons, 0.3 tons have been consumed;

Aircraft shell temperature: 230 degrees Celsius, the aircraft shell is designed to withstand a temperature of 850 degrees Celsius;

Aircraft speed: 10.4 kilometers per second (escape velocity 11.2 kilometers per second)

……

Overall evaluation: The aircraft is in perfect condition.

Looking at the words "Perfect" makes people feel reassured. After all, in the space environment, as long as danger occurs, the entire army will be annihilated. Without the protection of a space suit, the huge pressure (one standard atmospheric pressure) in the human body can reach up to ten people in a vacuum environment. It will start boiling in seconds, and what awaits will be an extremely miserable death. Ten seconds, this time - let alone space, it is impossible to carry out rescue on the ground within this time.

Looking at the countdown, Long Xinsheng's forty-year-old heart began to beat. The speed of space made the racing cars on the ground go to hell. The unit of measurement on the ground is speed per hour; while the unit of measurement in space is speed per second!

10, 9,...2, 1!

A big exclamation mark appeared on the screen.

Suddenly, Long Xinsheng felt that the plane began to shake violently and began to accelerate slowly.

On the screen, the acceleration is displayed: 0.1, 0.2... (1 is the standard earth gravity).

At this time, what Long Xinsheng felt was not the pleasure of acceleration, but heaviness! Previously, his body was like floating feathers, but now it seems as if there is a big mountain pressing on him. Fortunately, after all, the current acceleration is far less than the earth's gravity, so I will get used to it quickly.

The acceleration began to increase slowly, obviously taking care of the physical condition of ordinary people. Acceleration: twice the Earth's gravity!

"But why do I only feel acceleration but not speed?" Many people asked this. Because, after turning off the screen, the starry sky outside the porthole is almost unchanged, and there is no change in speed at all. Of course, what's on the screen is another story.
