Chapter 593 Comfortable space flight
Dong Chen watched those people cast their gazes out of the porthole one after another. It really doesn't mean that these people have never seen the world, at least the old Zhao next to him is someone who has definitely seen the world.

His personal experience is absolutely perfect for 99.9% of the people in the world, but the environment determines the height of their vision. Although the "place" of many of them is high enough, it is obvious that their altitude is not higher than the atmosphere.

Of course, the "height" referred to here is not something in the same field.

But looking at their movements of constantly looking out, it is clear that they have never seen such a scene, at least not in reality.

When the Aerospace plane took off, they began to look out constantly, especially those passengers who were arranged near the window and had no influence from the wings.

At the beginning, they felt that everything on the ground was moving away quickly. Gradually, they saw that everything on the ground became blurred, and there were only simple lines. These things were so familiar, just like the feeling of flying in an ordinary plane before. Same.

But after passing through the clouds, the changes began. The plane did not change to level flight, but was still flying upwards, and the clouds were getting farther and farther away from me.

There are also those human architectural wonders and city outlines, which are so small when viewed from the plane, so that after reaching a certain height, they completely disappear, and only the green land, yellow sand, and blue sea of ​​the earth itself are present.

And when the aerospace passenger plane flies to the suborbital altitude, they can clearly see the arc of the earth with the naked eye, and the degree of curvature is getting bigger and bigger, and the "sky" they see is getting darker and darker, until they feel They suddenly became light and light, that means they came to space.

Many people sitting here have seen this process, but some people have seen it simply through online videos, while some have watched the internal video of the space agency, and even some people have participated in the internal command and control of space missions. Watch the video for the whole process.

But today they personally experienced this process in the spacecraft, and the feeling is really different, especially those ordinary staff of the space agency who are the closest to space, but have no hope of going to space.

There is also the veteran of the space agency sitting next to Dong Chen.

Zhao Gang sat on a seat by the window, stared blankly at the space outside the porthole for a while, turned back to Dong Chen and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to visit space in my lifetime. I can say that I work behind the scenes of the aerospace department." After a lifetime, I didn’t expect that I could go to space when I was old, and thanks to your kid, I made a free flight.”

Dong Chen was a little touched at the beginning, and felt that it was not easy for this boss, so he expressed such emotion about life, but before he was moved for two seconds, the plot was reversed.

So he was almost stunned by this turning point, and said dumbfoundedly, "You turned around too fast, I thought you were going to talk about the philosophy of life, and you were planning to write it down in a small notebook. Become a "boy"."

"Haha, you boy," Zhao Gang pointed at Dong Chen happily, "You still expect me to talk about philosophy, I'm a military officer, and I'm a big bastard."

It can be seen that Zhao Gang is very happy to be in the space, and the big boss is just listening, but Dong Chen still said with a speechless face: "You were still reasoning with me before, and you want me to be a qualified chairman. , I am not learning from you."

"It's for you to study with us, not for me to tell you something specially, just take the initiative to learn, just read more." Zhao Gang said calmly leaning on his seat.

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Dong Chen's bewildered expression, but asked the middle-aged man sitting across from him who was writing something in a notebook while looking out the window, "Xiao Yang, how is it? I feel something is wrong." Is it the same? How is it different from the spaceship you took before?"

Seeing that Zhao Gang changed the subject, Dong Chen didn't intend to ask any more questions, but curled his lips and looked at him.

Dong Chen knew this middle-aged man called "Little Yang" by Zhao Gang. He is the current Director Yang of the Huaguo Manned Space Engineering Office. He was the first Huaguo astronaut to enter space before. He is very famous. exist.

Although he later went behind the scenes, Dong Chen unexpectedly dealt with him several times, because he had overlapped with him when Arclight Group established Arclight Aerospace before.

At that time, Dong Chen went to the Huaguo Astronaut Research and Training Center with a few arc-light astronauts to practice. He is the manager of the aerospace engineering office, and he, the director of the office, is the one person Dong Chen must contact, and he often goes to the training center for meetings, and has met Dong Chen several times.

This visit to Huaguo's space industry and condolences to the astronauts is indispensable for him.

When he heard Zhao Gang asking himself, he closed the notebook in his hand and said, "Old Zhao, I am amazed by the performance of this aerospace plane. The spaceship we took before did not have this kind of comfort. It is simply worse than taking an ordinary passenger plane." To be comfortable, we have a lot to learn."

He then looked at Dong Chen and smiled, "Mr. Dong Chen, your company's technology is really excellent. I think we can have more cooperation."

"No problem, our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and it would be better to be more happy." Dong Chen said with a smile.

Seeing the three bigwigs chatting happily, an official sitting in another seat also joined in. Although Dong Chen didn't know him, he didn't hinder the chat.

This time, Arclight Aerospace dispatched two aerospace airliners at one time. After all, 40 people came this time, plus some people from the Arclight Group, the number of people going to space directly reached 53 people. The passenger capacity is only 30 people, so it is impossible not to dispatch two planes.

Moreover, the seats inside the aerospace plane can also be rotated and adjusted, allowing passengers to sit face to face. However, since the aerospace plane is going to rush out of the earth, the technology of its rotating seats is much higher than that of high-speed trains. Like the seats on high-speed trains, they generally do not rotate.

When the two planes approached the Tiangong space station, the passengers could already see the huge space station through the portholes, which can be described as "covering the sky and blocking out the sun".

Looking at those people waving to them through the viewing window of the space station, they realized that the space travel that people dream of is so simple and comfortable.

Of course, only Director Yang who is sitting on the other side of Dong Chen knows that this is not simple at all. Only those who have been in space on a manned spaceship can understand the suffering of space flight.

In that narrow and crowded space, full of instruments, manual joysticks, optical sights, etc., and thick space suits and helmets, there is hardly any room left.

During the flight, you have to endure a strong sense of turbulence. Whoever sits knows how it feels.

This is still the feeling when riding a spaceship, and the strict selection and painful training before, it is unimaginable for ordinary people.

In contrast, Arclight Aerospace's technology omits all of these, making space travel so comfortable.

Let him, an old astronaut who has been in space, feel so happy that he wants to cry.
