Airport Meow

Chapter 388
Looking at the industrial equipment in front of me, it may not have been long since they stopped being used, but they are aging very quickly under the erosion of the desert. Wind, sand and sunlight are the biggest enemies here.

There are no buildings to be seen along the way, and the space plane training base cannot be located in the city. Bei Haiyang is very strange. Where will this mysterious place be placed?

Half an hour later, he got the truth!

This is an independent airport in the desert. According to Hassan, it used to be a military airport, but it was abolished before being bought by the Space Federation. The airport has only one runway, but the runway is very long, reaching an unimaginable 6000 meters. In contrast to the fact that most commercial airports are controlled within 4000 meters, this runway is very different.

Even more alternative is the building!Because there are no buildings here, only tents here!

Of course, it is not the kind of camping tent that Bei Haiyang has seen in China, which is only enough for one person to lie flat. Here are all giant tents, and there is no one smaller than [-] square meters. There are also many tents connected in series, like many large bunkers. Fortifications!

This area covers a very large area, and thousands of hectares seem empty. Here, the land is worthless, and there is no oil underground. Here is nothing!

The whole area is surrounded by tall live barbed wire, which alone costs a lot of money, but it is nothing to Zhongdong people; this thing has practical value and can prevent many animals from breaking in by themselves, especially those wild animals. camel.

There are guards at the gate and guns, and I don't know what they are guarding against?But this kind of stance can no longer scare him. His current limited defense is an absolute defense against bullets, but I don't know if the cannon can defend against it. I haven't tried it, and I dare not try it!
After checking the IDs of the two, Hassan continued to drive in until the largest single tent with an estimated area of ​​more than a thousand square feet, and there was a golden decoration on the top of the tent; , the identities of the characters in it can be imagined.

It was the first time for Bei Haiyang to see such a big tent built on a real desert; but he didn't know if there were complete living facilities here, such as water supply and drainage, Internet and so on.

After getting out of the car and walking inside with Hassan, he realized that the tent was not a single space, but was subtly divided into many functional rooms. If he only looked at the decoration here, he would think it was a palace, not a tent. .

In essence, he is a bumpkin!

When he came to a reception room, there were thick and gorgeous pure wool carpets, exquisite wall hangings, and strong Arabic styles everywhere, but there was no modern office supplies, not even a chair or a sofa. He found that if he If you want to relax, you probably have to sit on the ground or lie down?

There are several baskets on the low table, which are filled with various fruits and melons. The color is very fresh. As long as you think that these things are brought here by transportation, you have to admire the attitude of Zhongdong people to enjoy life.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked in. The robe was spotless, as if it was insulated from the wind and sand outside.

"I'm Saeed, the director of the training center, welcome to the space complex, Mr. Bei Haiyang."

Bei Haiyang nodded politely, people in Zhongdong are very face-saving, they don't like impolite people, Bei Haiyang has traveled all over the world this year, and he is very clear about these details.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Saeed, I'm late, and I hope it won't affect the training plan of the entire center."

Said looked at him meaningfully, and was also a little curious.

The Space Pilot Training Center in Dibai has been built for more than 20 years, and the space complex has never spared no effort in terms of personnel reserves; the first batch of pilots trained are too old to fly, but the space complex has never They have stopped cultivating talents, because they know that once the space flight starts, pilots will be the most in short supply occupation!
It is not so easy to put together rich civil aviation piloting experience, sufficient mental strength, no fear of space flight and the ability to deal with difficult problems in emergencies.

In a sense, it is much more difficult than a spaceship pilot. The spaceship falls and falls, and the pilot is alone; but the space plane cannot fall, because there are hundreds of passengers on board!

Since the establishment of the training center, on average, a space plane has crashed almost every few years, basically when it leaves the atmosphere and enters the atmosphere!Especially re-entry!

The progress of the aviation industry is also made great progress through such persistent efforts. In terms of flight technology and the structure of space planes, it has been slowly refined for decades;
From the most difficult power conversion to the most basic cabin life support, from communication positioning to heat-proof treatment of the body surface, every progress represents a huge effort, money, life...

Although the space plane is similar to the ordinary 959 from the outside, in fact, many things are redesigned, even dropped and researched, and the investment of tens of trillions of dollars in decades has made it what it is today. The technology is gradually mature, and the improvement of the aircraft It's also nearing the end.

During this process, the pilot training has never stopped, but most of them will never have the opportunity to actually fly a space plane to carry passengers into the sky. The first batch of training pilots, they are the lucky ones, because they caught up with the good times!
There are still accidents, for example, when the governments of various countries are approving the qualifications of space pilots, they suddenly put forward a barrier that cannot be questioned by the consortium: they must have the qualifications of regular airline captains!

In fact, this request is not too much when you think about it carefully. It is also based on the attitude of being responsible for the safety of passengers. After all, there is a huge difference between being able to fly a plane and flying a plane to carry passengers for ten or twenty years. It is not only a technical problem, but also The problem of comprehensive experience in dealing with dangerous situations is also a problem of psychological construction responsible for passenger safety.

But, you said it earlier!It is inevitable that the governments of various countries did not have the tacit intention of creating obstacles to the space complex when the extraterritorial civilizations died down and exited outer space.

This is wrestling!How to talk about the distribution of benefits without creating obstacles?How to check and balance?Let your space complex develop wildly?
However, such obstacles have indeed brought huge troubles to the space complex!Among the space pilots they have successfully trained, more than half are people who have no civil aviation qualifications but have strong mental power, and they are also the core components of the talent pool of the consortium, but these people are suddenly abolished by the regulations of various countries. They trained for a long time but found that they didn't even have the basic qualifications!

On the contrary, a small number of civil aviation pilots are overjoyed, their spring has come!

But such people are not enough!That's why the space complex urgently transferred regular captains from all over the world!
