Chapter 251 The City of Sand ([-])
drop……

A sharp whistle sound woke Ma Wu from his sleep.

"Everyone is there, gather at the playground in 5 minutes." Zhou Libin shouted loudly.

Ma Wu hurriedly got up, although he was reluctant to part with the warm blanket, but if he couldn't get up, he would be fined to run around.

Liao Qingsong, who was on the bunk above him, had already got dressed and got down.

On the playground of the base, it was still dark at this time, and some sparse snowflakes were slowly falling.

Every snowflake is different, and every person is also different.

The difference between human beings and snowflakes is that human beings can change themselves through learning and training, while snowflakes can only become ice or water.

From a human point of view, Snow Flower's life is short and fragile. From a planetary point of view, a human's life is not the same.

Ma Wu, Liao Qingsong and others were wearing thick training uniforms, standing in the snow.

"Start training now and warm up." Zhou Libin ordered.

The space agency team on the other side is already running neatly on the playground.

The first day of training was not too tiring.

In the evening, everyone was arranged to go to the medical examination center at the base for a comprehensive physical examination.

After dinner, there is cultural class.

As a future astronaut, they not only need to pass the test in physical fitness, but also in professional knowledge.

Although the training seems to be very hard, the instructors at the base know that these trainings are within the range of the human body, and they will not squeeze the body too much, so as not to leave hidden injuries.

These three months of training and cultural classes are basic types.

As for the training in the life support chamber, spacecraft operation training, space survival training, spacecraft maintenance training, emergency handling, experimental equipment operation, etc., it is the task of the second and third semesters.

The actual operation will not start until the fourth semester.

These trainings are simply too simple for the astronaut reserve of the space agency. After all, the previous training of the space agency was very intensive.

The reason why the joint training is relatively simple this time is mainly because the technology has improved, and the requirements for the human body's resistance to load do not need to be so high. As long as they can withstand an overload of 5-7G, they can pass the test.

"Huh...huh..."

Running in the winter, white gas keeps coming out of the runway.

Ma Wu was a professional pilot before, so he didn't feel uncomfortable. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the cold.

He is a native of the southern part of the East Island. He has suddenly changed from a subtropical climate to a temperate continental climate, and he came here in winter. It must be difficult for him to adapt.

The students finished the 3-kilometer walk, and the sun of the northern country came out lazily at this time.

Although the sun in the Mongolian area in winter is not without warmth.

Suddenly three flying objects in mid-air attracted Ma Wu's attention, they were three airships shining brightly in the sun.

"What are you looking at?" Liao Qingsong looked in Ma Wu's direction:
"These airships should be the transport airships of Galaxy Technology!"

"Maybe!"

After the students had a rest, they went to wash and prepare to eat.

……

"Sangenda is here! This is transport airship No. 0029, please come back!"

"0029, Sang Genda received it."

"Request to dock in port."

"Allowed, berth 16."

Hearing this, the captain hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone take your seats, berth 16."

"receive."

"receive."

Li Chengye was currently working as a trainee pilot on transport airship No. 0029.

He didn't know that he had just passed by Ma Wu, and he was still meticulously reporting the airship's altitude and azimuth parameters.

The airship cockpit is modeled after the airplane cockpit, but the airship cockpit is much simpler than the airplane cockpit.

As a transport airship, there are generally four people, namely a captain (principal pilot), two deputy captains (co-pilot), and an administrator.

Under the command of the tower of the airship transport station, the transport airships 0028, 0029, and 0030 slowly parked on the corresponding berths.

Below the huge airship airbag are 10 containers with a gross weight of 28 tons. Some of these containers are refrigerated containers and some are ordinary containers.

The trucks at the airship transport station are ready, and as soon as the airship stops, they will come to pick up the containers.

The containers for transporting airships are placed sideways in the middle of the airship. Except for the airbags, the cabin of the transporting airship is set up in such a way that the head is the cockpit, the middle is the cargo compartment, and the tail is the battery compartment and the submetallic hydrogen storage compartment. .

In order to facilitate transportation, the cargo compartment is not in contact with the ground, and the distance between the cargo compartment and the ground is just enough for the tractor truck to reverse and enter the bottom of the airship.

The airship cockpit then unloads the container onto the truck.

The unloading speed is very fast, and 10 containers can be unloaded in less than 10 minutes.

Similarly, if the container is to be transported on the airship, it is also very simple. The container truck is directly poured under the airship, and then the grabbing device in the cargo compartment of the airship can load the container into the airship.

Of course, the actual situation is not so fast. The administrator needs to check the cargo in the container with the truck driver and complete the handover or delivery.

"Old Hu! Takeoff will be delayed by two hours." The administrator opened the cockpit door.

Lao Hu is the captain.

"What's wrong?"

"The equipment of the meat joint factory is broken down, and there are still two containers of pork and beef that are not ready." The administrator said with a spread of hands.

Old Hu turned his head and asked, "Is the Chengye battery fully charged?"

"It's full!" Li Chengye nodded and returned.

"Old rules, Xiaoming, you stay on the airship this time, what do you want to eat?" Lao Hu patted another deputy captain, Zhang Xiaoming, and asked.

"Two meat buns, a bowl of Hu spicy soup, if there are fruits, buy some." Zhang Xiaoming gave Lao Hu 50 yuan.

"OK."

Delayed takeoff of airships happens from time to time, and people and things cannot always be smooth sailing.

So Lao Hu and the others can take the opportunity to rest and eat near the airship transportation station. Obviously, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.

The airship transportation management company also has relatively relaxed management in this area. Of course, it is okay to go out to eat and drink, but it cannot be detected for drunk driving or drug driving while driving. Once found, it will be banned for life.

Lao Hu, Li Chengye, and the administrator were all wrapped in down jackets, and they also had sunglasses. If you don't wear sunglasses in the ice and snow, you may suffer from snow blindness.

There is a commercial street near the airship station, where many locals have opened restaurants, snack bars, grocery stores and convenience stores.

The three of them walked into an old Qin Hu spicy soup.

"Boss! Three bowls of Hu spicy soup, six Roujiamo, other old rules."

"It's Lao Hu! Come right away." The bald old Qin shouted with a smile.

Just as Lao Hu and the others sat down, three more people came by the door.

"Old Hu! The airship is delayed?"

Hearing this voice, Lao Hu knew who it was: "Biaozi, it's going well!"

"Don't mention it, the wind and snow in Jin province are too heavy these days, I can't go directly to the stratosphere." The tall Biaozi said helplessly.

"Haha, what can we do if the sky is not beautiful?"

"You all went to Beiping and Jinshi, so there shouldn't be any problem?" Biaozi and the three sat down and asked.

"No, there is not much snow in this half month."

After a while, Lao Qin came over with three bowls of Hu spicy soup and six meat buns.

"Biaozi or the old rules?"

"Old rules."

After Lao Hu took a sip of Hu spicy soup: "How do you arrange for the New Year, Biaozi?"

"I'm going to keep running, how about you?"

"Take a break during the Chinese New Year, and you can't make enough money." Old Hu replied with a smile.

A group of people chatted while eating and drinking. Airship piloting can be said to be a new profession.

As for the airship transportation company, the number of airships currently owned is only 47, which is only a drop in the bucket for the huge domestic transportation market.

However, with the gradual expansion of airship transportation companies, by the end of 2019, this number will increase by at least 10 times.

Airship transportation has become a powerful part of the domestic cargo market, and the Civil Aviation Administration is now in pain and happiness.

If Yinhe Technology hadn't built a small supercomputing center for them in order to cooperate with them, the planning and arrangement of these airship routes would have been a headache for the Civil Aviation Administration.
