It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 574: Skydiving at 39000 meters! Dao heart is stable! A new experience of seeking death!

Southwest Texas, Boca Chica.

Facing the arrival of the main creative team of the "Interstellar" crew and the Red Bull extreme sports team, Elon Musk, the host, expressed an extremely warm welcome.

"Fei, welcome."

Facing his sponsor, Musk behaved extremely friendly and did not show any lofty attitude.

The successful launch of the Falcon 1 rocket was inseparable from the investment and help of Longxiang Capital. Chen Fei is regarded as the most important "protector" on his road to success.

"Musk, long time no see."

Chen Fei greeted him with a smile.

Longxiang Capital has invested in more and more projects in recent years.

Tesla and Musk’s space exploration plans are one of the key targets of Longxiang Capital’s investment.

The two had met at many parties, and they could be considered to have established quite a friendship.

The premiere location of "Interstellar" and the starting point of the Red Bull Challenge mission are exactly on the rocket launch pad of Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company.

Chen Fei will take a hot air balloon from here to an altitude of 39000 meters, jump from the edge of the stratosphere, and successfully land to complete this extreme challenge.

Musk agreed to the request of the funder’s father to borrow the rocket launch platform without even thinking about it.

It’s just a hot air balloon ride, what’s wrong with that?

If Chen Fei was brave enough, Musk would even dare to let him experience what it would be like to have manned spaceflight!
Yes, what he regretted was that his suggestion was not adopted by Chen Fei, because his behavior of blowing up rockets seemed to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

No one dares to bet with his life whether his manned rocket will explode shortly after liftoff!

……

The official start time of the challenge is at two o'clock in the afternoon, and during this gap in the morning, "Interstellar" will hold an open-air premiere event.

Even though they are far away from Los Angeles, there are still many guests attending the premiere today.

The reason is simple, because everyone is looking forward to the crazy challenge in the afternoon!
Flying to an altitude of 39000 meters and parachuting in a spacesuit has never appeared even in science fiction movies.

Therefore, when Red Bull and the official website of "Interstellar" announced this unique premiere promotion method, it was once sought after by netizens and fans.

Since the premiere was broadcast live to a global audience, Chen Fei could see the exclamations filling the comment area!

"What the hell? Has this started? Is Director Chen going to start committing suicide again?"

"Here you go, being 39000 meters above sea level is already scary, but this time you have to fly to meters above sea level for skydiving. Isn't that too bold?"

"Oh! My God! This time I can finally see space from the live broadcast!"

"By the way, is the earth round or flat?"

"It must be round. Do I still need to ask?"

"Everyone, don't go off topic. When does the challenge start?"

Along with the discussion among netizens, the crew of "Interstellar" built a background wall near the launch pad for guests and reporters present today to sign and take photos.

A lot of media came to the scene today, but everyone's attention was focused on the launch pad. The main creative staff of the crew were actually left out in the cold.

Finally, the regular morning premiere had to be interrupted.

Many people simply gathered around the edge of the launch pad and watched Red Bull staff inflate the hot air balloon.

In order to be able to withstand the weight of the space capsule, the hot air balloon is also professionally customized, and its diameter after inflating even reaches the size of a football field!
As the helium continues to be injected, the hot air balloon begins to inflate upward.

Soon, a huge hot air balloon with an area of ​​​​11000m appeared in front of everyone!
For a moment, there were bursts of exclamations on the scene, and everyone's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

Many people present had ridden in a hot air balloon, but this was the first time they had seen such a big hot air balloon.

"Oh! Shift!" Leonardo raised his head, his face already shrouded in shock.

After calming down for a while, he turned back to look at Fade Chen and asked with an exclamation tone: "Is this what you are going to fly into space in a while?"

Looking at the curious or shocked looks from everyone around him, Chen Fei nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm going to put on the spacesuit now. Should you say something to me?"

Matthew McConaughey said seriously: "Fei, you must come back safely!"

The rest of the people responded one after another, wishing him a safe return. Some even took off the cross hanging around their necks and handed it to him.

Chen Fei thanked everyone for their blessings and waved his hand coolly: "See you later."

After about half an hour, he appeared on the rocket launch platform wearing a spacesuit and parachute.

Waving to everyone, Chen Fei successfully entered the space capsule with the help of the staff.

NASA provided help throughout the entire process, including the space capsule and spacesuits being customized from them. For safety reasons, they underwent multiple inspections during the process.

After restraining himself in the seat and fastening the seat belt, Chen Fei pressed the intercom button in the cabin without hesitation and shouted: "Flory, I'm ready."

The next second, the live broadcast camera switched to the cabin and focused on him.

At the same time, Red Bull's broadcast department directly activated more than 1000 servers just to ensure that today's live broadcast can proceed smoothly.

Under the watchful eyes of the outside world and everyone in the live broadcast room, the traction rope was cut off and the hot air balloon slowly floated upwards.

As it gets further and further away from the ground, the hot air balloon, which seemed very large and spectacular at first, gradually turns into a small dot.

At the same time, as the space capsule rose rapidly, the horizon gradually changed from a straight line to an arc.

The live broadcast camera sometimes moved inside the cabin, aiming at Chen Fei, and sometimes switched to outside the cabin, aiming at the outside world.

Gradually, the clouds fell below, and the space capsule enveloped Chen Fei and officially arrived in the stratosphere.

"Fei, your destination has been reached."

Listening to the voice coming from the intercom, and under the gaze of hundreds of millions of viewers, Chen Fei silently unbuckled his seat belt and came to the cabin door.

"Chichi..."

With a sound of deflation, the hatch slowly opened.

Chen Fei looked out.

Looking at the Earth from space, the picture is breathtakingly beautiful!
What comes into view is a dazzling blue gem, inlaid on the dark curtain of the universe, shining with its unique light alone.

Looking around, the surface of the earth is covered by the vast ocean, and the blue waves sway gently in the dim light, as if it is the cradle of the earth, gently caring for all living things.

At the edge of the ocean are the outlines of land. They are either winding or straight, like the veins of the earth, carrying the reproduction and change of life. On the surface of the earth, you can even see those bustling cities, which are like bright pearls dotted on the earth.

High-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and the streets are crisscrossed with traffic and people. The lights of these cities are particularly dazzling at night. They complement each other with the stars in the sky, adding a mysterious color to the planet.

And around the earth is a deep cosmic space, where there seems to be endless darkness and countless twinkling stars. They are far or near, bright or dark, like the eyes of the universe, quietly watching Chen Fei. The blue planet below.

At this moment, the viewers who were watching through the live broadcast channel almost all had their eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of them with disbelief!
The bright galaxies and the azure planet blend with each other, blooming into a beautiful and thrilling picture!

"It turns out that when you look at the earth from space, it looks like this!"

"Damn, it's so beautiful. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to go to space in my lifetime."

"Maybe we won't be able to fly to space in a short time, but we can watch "Interstellar" first. I heard that this movie almost reproduces all space fantasy adventures."

"Wait a minute! I suddenly reacted, so Director Chen is going to jump directly from an altitude of 39000 meters, right?"

"Oh my god, you really put a lot of effort into promoting the movie!"

At the same time, while the audience in front of the screen was talking about the screen, Chen Fei had already stood at the door of the cabin and completely removed all the traction ropes.

Because he was wearing a space suit, the audience could not see his expression.

But it can be easily judged from the steady breathing that Chen Fei is not nervous at all at this moment.

Many people secretly sighed: "This mentality is really stable!"

Before anyone could react, Chen Fei suddenly took a step forward.

This may be just a small step for him, but it is a big step for the entire world of extreme sports and skydiving!

"call!"

The wind whistle caused by the high-speed fall was all recorded by the radio carried on the space suit, and was clearly transmitted to the ears of all viewers watching the live broadcast.

High-magnification cameras play a huge role at this moment!

The audience at the premiere and in front of the screen could clearly see that Chen Fei was rushing towards the ground in a free fall.

What awaits him will be a historic feat!
In order to successfully return to Earth from space, Chen Fei had already done enough training and rehearsed all possible difficulties in advance.

However, there are still many differences between real-life experience and simulation.

Just like now, not long after leaving the space capsule, Chen Fei fell into the dangerous situation of "flat spin" and "back-down".

You know, once you are in a "spin" state for a long time, it is easy to cause a person to fall into coma.

And once he loses consciousness, all he will be left with is a puddle of horrible flesh!

Therefore, in order to avoid a tragic ending, Chen Fei quickly started a "self-rescue" plan.

He did not deliberately resist the wind resistance, but followed the direction of the wind and constantly adjusted the angle of his body, turning his body from "flat rotation" to "straight fall".

After some efforts to adjust, he finally got rid of the "flat spin" state while traveling with the wind.

His super physical fitness and adaptability allowed him to solve the current difficulties and troubles in a short period of time.

At this moment, when he adjusted the angle of his fall, 30 seconds had passed!
At this time, his speed is about to exceed 1000 kilometers per hour.

However, this is just the beginning, because the altitude he is currently at is three times the flying altitude of ordinary civil aviation aircraft.

The speed of free fall at this height will far exceed the speed of sound, which is 340 meters/second, which is 1225km/h!

Looking up from the ground, he looked like a meteor flying across the sky.

Finally, after 40 seconds of free fall, his speed gradually stabilized and reached a maximum speed of 1342 kilometers per hour.

Of course, although his current falling speed is very fast, compared with the speed of 25200km/h of a real meteorite fall or a return satellite, his speed is obviously much smaller, so it is not enough to interact with the oxygen in the atmosphere. Violent friction and burning.

But even so, the entire skydiving process is still dangerous!

The altitude of 3.9 meters is close to a vacuum, and the air pressure is only 1% of the earth. If the space suit or helmet accidentally breaks, the ultra-low pressure will cause the blood in his body to boil, and his heart will burst and die!

Fortunately, with the help of "Lucky Orange", these worries have not happened so far.

Time passed by, and the discussion among netizens went from intense and boiling at the beginning to complete news at the end.

At this moment, 99% of people are praying, hoping that he can successfully open the umbrella and return safely.

Everyone could still hear his breathing. Although it was not as gentle as it was at the beginning, there was no rapid moment.

Four minutes and 4 seconds later, Chen Fei, who was maintaining a high level of concentration, received a notification sound from the altimeter.

A pair of eyes behind the astronaut helmet quickly scanned the altimeter. When he saw the pointer pointing to 1500 meters, he opened the parachute without hesitation.

"boom!"

A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded in the ears of all viewers watching the live broadcast. This was the sound caused by the parachute being instantly filled to a bulging state by the airflow.

Soon, as the parachute opened smoothly, Chen Fei's falling speed was effectively slowed down.

However, although the speed became slower and slower, he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he pulled up the traction rope and began to control the falling angle.

In order to complete the task to the most perfect level, he must ensure that he can land smoothly instead of being carried around by the parachute.

With the help of no less than ten previous experiences of skydiving and gliding, he finally landed safely on a piece of grassland after 13 minutes.

The moment he landed, Flory's voice came from the intercom: "Fei, are you okay?"

At this moment, everyone watching the live broadcast in front of the screen subconsciously held their breath, secretly looking forward to that familiar voice.

After a five-second blank period, suddenly, a slightly rapid breathing sounded first.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Fei's voice came out: "Don't worry, I'm safe and sound."

The air circulation in an aerospace helmet is far different from that outside, and falling rapidly from such a high place will naturally make you feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it only took 5 seconds for Chen Fei to adjust his condition.

In front of the screen, warm cheers suddenly burst out!

Especially when they heard the words "safe and sound", countless fans burst into tears of excitement and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Skydiving from the stratosphere at an altitude of 39000 meters and returning safely in the end, this horse rider is really awesome!”
