Chapter 374 Manned Spaceflight
［Today is December 2019, 12. The weather in Kaohsiung is not bad. The sunny winter in the southern country is rare in Luoyang. It may be snowing heavily in my hometown at this time.

I am very honored to be the first astronauts of the Space Development Committee to go to space, which makes me both excited and nervous...]
Liao Qingsong stretched his waist and continued to write in his diary.

He was transferred from the Zhangzhou Astronaut Training Base to the Kaohsiung Base a week ago because he became the first group of astronauts to use a mass projector to go to outer space.

Five other people came together. The spaceship pilot Zhang Yunfeng, co-pilot Chen Liang, correspondent Li Xuan, maintenance staff Fang Haibo, space operator Qin Xuexue, and Liao Qingsong is another space operator.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of his dormitory, and Liao Qingsong hurriedly got out of bed to open the door. When he opened the door, it turned out that Zhang Yunfeng was driving the spaceship.

"Captain Zhang, why don't you drop by when you have time?"

"I have nothing to do, let's chat." Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile.

In fact, the spaceship is driving, not only the pilot, but also the captain (commander) and psychological counselor. Among the professional pilot students, Zhang Yunfeng can only be said to be in the middle and upper reaches, but his personality is optimistic and calm, and he is very capable of leadership It is precisely because of this that he stands out among the many reserve pilots.

Zhang Yunfeng sat down and asked concerned: "Are you both excited and nervous?"

Liao Qingsong nodded: "A little bit."

"I am the same way. Perhaps the 2020st of 1 will be the opening of the human interstellar era." Zhang Yunfeng said with You Rongyan.

"Yes! My name will be engraved in history." Liao Qingsong's blood boiled immediately.

"Qingsong, is your hometown in Luoyang?"

"My hometown is at the bottom of Xishan Mountain in Luoning, Luoyang."

"Then our hometown is quite close. I'm from Xiezhou, Yuncheng, Jin Province."

Zhang Yunfeng and Liao Qingsong chatted for more than an hour.

……

时间如长江之水，一往无前的流逝，时钟的指针停格在2020年1月1日9：00，此时此刻距离青龙级002号飞船发射还有一个小时。

This is the second time that the Qinglong-class spacecraft 002 has gone to outer space. The first time it temporarily carried fuel to resupply the Xuanwu-class spacecraft. This time it is the second time it has gone to outer space, and it is also the first time to perform a manned space mission.

Zhang Yunfeng, Chen Liang, Li Xuan, Fang Haibo, Qin Xuexue, and Liao Qingsong had already put on the anti-gravity suits of the life support warehouse, and entered the life support warehouse one by one.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Yunfeng shouted through a special communicator.

"Preparation is complete." The other five replied in unison.

"Check the equipment and connection status of the survival warehouse again." Zhang Yunfeng ordered meticulously.

"receive."

The six people checked the equipment and connections again, and after Zhang Yunfeng gave an order, they pressed the injection button for the life-saving solution.

The translucent vitamin water quickly flooded upwards from under their feet.

Gulu Gulu... Strings of residual air bubbles in the lungs emerged from Zhang Yunfeng's mouth and nose, just like a drowning person.

And this time the Qinglong-class manned spaceflight was broadcast live globally, so many viewers saw this scene.

Webcast room.

"What is this doing?" - Fish's memory

"It feels a bit penetrating." - Unknown Jue Li

"Damn it!"——It's terrible to be uneducated

"It should be something similar to anti-charge liquid. People can breathe directly in the liquid." ——M78 Nebula
"Will it be like this when you go to outer space in the future? What if I can't swim?" - Landlubber
"@冬鸡子, this has nothing to do with whether you can swim or not (ー_ー)!!"——Chengdu user

"It feels so boring (▽)."——Spring Blossoms
"It should be an anti-gauge liquid, otherwise the astronauts cannot withstand the overload of the mass projector." ——Life is short

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Shanghai Hilton Hotel.

Representatives from various countries who have come here are watching the global live broadcast of the Qinglong-class manned spaceflight in small groups.

"I didn't expect them to realize the anti-grey liquid." Dr. Archimedes knew what it was at a glance.

"It is inevitable. If they want to quickly project a manned spacecraft with a mass catapult, they must solve the overload problem." The exhausted Maxwell said with some frustration.

Alice, the representative of the Mi Federation Parliament on the side, asked curiously: "Can this breathable liquid solve the overload problem?"

"Yes, Ms. Alice, this uses the principle of incompressibility of liquids." Dr. Archimedes explained.

"Then how difficult is this technology to implement?" Alice then asked.

Archimedes thought for a while and said, "The difficulty lies in the liquid raw material. It must be breathable and harmless to the human body. In addition, its chemical properties must be stable."

"In other words, if we know the liquid raw material, can we replicate this technology?" Alice asked enthusiastically.

"Um..." Dr. Archimedes didn't know how to answer this question.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"In theory, Ms. Alice is right."

"Theoretically? Doesn't that work in practice?"

"It's hard to be sure about materials science. Sometimes even if you get the materials, you may not be able to reproduce them." Dr. Archimedes shrugged and said helplessly.

……

［发射倒计时：30……10……3、2、1，发射。］
The powerful electric current instantly excites the magnetic vacuum cable, and a vacuum pipeline that runs through the sky and the earth is formed in an instant.

Under the action of electric current, the superconducting guide rail, as one of the basic four forces, the electromagnetic force, breaks free from the cage like an ancient beast.

Boo!Accelerated by the electromagnetic force, the spacecraft broke through the top membrane at 60 kilometers in an instant, and then issued a scream, which was caused by breaking the sound barrier in the atmosphere.

The astronauts in Qinglong-class 002 might not know that they have arrived in low-Earth orbit if they hadn't looked at the waterproof computer in front of them.

The orbit height reaches 120 kilometers at once, and it is constantly jumping upwards.

Zhang Yunfeng and Chen Liang began to check the status of the spacecraft, and were ready to manually correct it at any time; while Li Xuan sent back the status information of the spacecraft to the ground control center.

Due to the increased power of the mass projector, this time the Qinglong-class 002 spacecraft can directly reach a low-earth orbit of about 180 kilometers.

The autopilot system instantly ignites and starts the main engine when the Qinglong-class 002 spacecraft reaches the 180-kilometer low-earth orbit.

The Qinglong-class spaceship 002, which was at the end of its strength, was injected with a new power in an instant, with a light blue tail flame hanging, and began to move around the blue star.

Kaohsiung ground control center, fourth control room.

"The QL-002 spacecraft has successfully entered orbit and is orbiting. It will reach the orbit of the new Kaohsiung space station in 1 hour and 27 minutes."

"Everything on the QL-002 spacecraft is normal, and the astronauts are in good health."

"The new Kaohsiung space station is ready for docking."

Zeng Baojiang nodded in satisfaction. This time the launch is finally almost completed. The most dangerous stage for the mass projector to project the spaceship is between 60 and 120. Once the spaceship exceeds this distance, safety can be assured. .

For this launch mission, Zeng Jiang is more nervous than the first launch of the Xuanwu class before. After all, it is a manned spacecraft, and it is also a global live broadcast. With the Outer Space Conference approaching, it can be said that this launch mission cannot be missed.

Looking at the holographic star map, the Qinglong-class 002 spacecraft is rapidly orbiting the blue star, and constantly raising the orbital altitude. It seems that this manned space mission can be successfully completed.
