From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Chapter 661 Tianhang spacecraft successfully returned! Wang Hao: I am looking forward to it...

Ding Zhiqiang plunged into the workshop and began to think hard about the work, and he didn't even have time to care about the movement of the spacecraft.

In this long-distance plan, he was just Paul Phil Jones's deputy, and he had an all-round and very active superior. The advantage was that he had nothing to do, but he had a job assigned by Wang Hao in the middle, which was to think and conduct theoretical research on experimental findings.

The focus of thinking about experimental findings is the space wave theory proposed by Paul Phil Jones.

So the main work is still done by Paul Phil Jones, but he can't do nothing. He must have a certain understanding of the content and make certain mathematical deductions to pass.

The problem is that the research content is uncertain, and it is even more difficult to have any ideas.

This research is too complicated, involving wormhole technology that only exists in science fiction imagination.

Energy transmission?

What a joke!

If the experimental findings are told to others, it is estimated that they will be regarded as a scam by the scientific community.

"There are only space wave theory and experimental results."

"Paul created the space wave theory, but most of it is just a concept, with only some basic content. How to carry out the next step of research?"

"To explain energy transmission..."

"Energy must penetrate along with the field force, but what kind of relationship will exist between the two?"

Ding Zhiqiang scratched his scalp hard. He even hoped that the experiment would not find anything, so he would not be distressed. "How could there be a discovery? Wormhole..."

"I was just fooling Paul!"

"Teacher Wang also knows that I am fooling Paul. He is not just joking!"

...

While Ding Zhiqiang was constantly distressed, the Tianhang spacecraft was constantly approaching the earth and soon entered the earth's orbit.

The speed of the Tianhang spacecraft was very fast, and it was steadily decelerating during the process of approaching the earth.

When decelerating, the acceleration was between minus 1m and minus 5m per second. For the personnel on the spacecraft, the deceleration process was much more comfortable than the acceleration.

The direction of the cabin ground of the spacecraft is consistent with the main nozzle of the engine. The ground will provide a supporting force during the acceleration process.

This force cannot be offset. We can only give the opposite gravity to offset it to a certain extent. However, the support force is a unilateral force, which is completely different from gravity.

Under the action of the ground support force and the reverse gravity, the human body will feel as if the body can float up, but the feet are subjected to a strong force, which will also feel very strange.

During the acceleration process, many people simply lie down to rest, dispersing the ground support force to the whole body, which will become much more comfortable.

During the deceleration process, the ground support force is reduced, and the positive gravity will be turned on in the cabin to keep the ground support force stable.

In this way, the ground environment can be simulated approximately, making the human body feel more comfortable. Of course, the actual environment is still different from the ground, mainly reflected in the gravity intensity being slightly lower than the ground.

In addition, there will be certain deviations in the automatic control of gravity.

This is mainly because there is a delay between the power system and the gravity control system. The gravity control must be adjusted according to the power system value. If the power system suddenly increases or decreases the power, the gravity control will be delayed, and the people in the cabin will feel it very obviously.

Some people will get "seasick" because of this.

For example, Paul Phil Jones felt uncomfortable whether the spacecraft was accelerating or decelerating. Of course, deceleration is stronger than acceleration.

During the spacecraft's flight to Jupiter, Paul Phil Jones still persisted, but when he was about to return to Earth, he suffered from "seasickness" and stayed in the living area to rest.

Fortunately, the spacecraft is about to return to Earth.

The Tianhang spacecraft is not a direct landing when it returns to Earth. The spacecraft must ensure internal safety and stability, and enter the Earth's orbit and land with the lowest possible deceleration and orbit change.

The first step of the spacecraft is to enter the Earth's orbit. It passes by the Earth from a distance, then throws out a large arc and returns by relying on the Earth's gravity, and revolves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit.

In the process of revolving around the Earth, the spacecraft began to continuously reduce the orbital altitude and slowly decelerate to the Earth's rotation speed.

Finally, the spacecraft speed is synchronized with the Earth's rotation, and it is suspended above the area around the Tianhang base, and then it can start landing.

At this time, both the Tianhang spacecraft and the ground control center can't wait any longer. They have never felt that three days have passed so slowly.

Wang Hao had a similar feeling. He went to the control center several times and asked several times, "What is the current status? What is the altitude?"

"When is the expected descent?"

"How long will the descent take?"

At the same time, there were many reports in the media.

The first media was able to get the information of the Tianhang spacecraft, but their news was still delayed. They only got approximate data and the "estimated return" time from the interview.

The first media also reported on it.

It was not until the Tianhang spacecraft officially began to descend that the first media confirmed the return time. The reporters stationed immediately went to the base for interviews and also started live broadcasts on the return of the Tianhang spacecraft.

Many people are looking forward to it, and public opinion has already exploded, "The Tianhang spacecraft is coming back soon!"

"Returning from Jupiter is really amazing. Everyone on board is a hero!"

"I really didn't expect it. It's like a dream. To be honest, I didn't think much of the long-distance voyage plan at first. This plan feels too amazing and a bit out of touch with reality..."

"I think so too. It's amazing. Tianhang spacecraft, Wang Hao..."

"The Tianhang spacecraft can travel to and from Jupiter so quickly. It can be said that human space travel has spanned a hundred years..."

"I feel that a hundred years is too short. It may be hundreds of years! It is a revolutionary breakthrough in space technology!"

"It's scary to think about it. They all went to Jupiter, more than 100 people, and we didn't even land on the moon."

"If you want to get out of the Earth-Moon system, you still have to rely on new technology. The original power technology is seriously backward. At worst, you need anti-gravity technology, or you can use a light pressure engine like the Tianhang spacecraft..."

"Light pressure engines are what humans rely on to go to the universe!"

...

Tianhang base.

A large group of people stood on the hillside a few kilometers away. They kept looking up at the sky, waiting for the return of the Tianhang spacecraft.

This included the leadership team, the people from the space shuttle company, and the reporters who came to interview.

Everyone was waiting with excitement.

The reporters from the first media were allowed to point their cameras at the sky, which meant that they would broadcast the return of the Tianhang spacecraft live at the first time.

The ground control center was still communicating with the Tianhang spacecraft, and Wang Hao could only know the altitude of the spacecraft through the headset.

He turned to Teacher Xu and said, "30,000 meters, very fast."

The descent speed of the Tianhang spacecraft was similar to that of an airplane. The spacecraft was descending in a straight line, but because it was too big, the descent speed could not be too fast to ensure internal stability.

After waiting for about three minutes, the people on the ground finally saw a light spot through the clouds, and many people exclaimed, "There, do you see it?"

"The light spot over there!"

"It's very conspicuous!"

Everyone looked up and noticed that the light spot kept getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision, and soon passed through the clouds and officially entered the field of vision of the ground personnel.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled on their faces, "Finally back!"

The Tianhang base had already made preparations.

The ground control center docked with the Tianhang spacecraft, and the spacecraft landed directly and smoothly on the support frame without any stop in the air.

When the spacecraft landed smoothly, everyone applauded and discussed enthusiastically, "Finally back!"

"Safe return, it's great!"

"Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief. I was worried every day, afraid that something would happen. Now it's all right..."

"Yeah..."

After the Tianhang spacecraft returned, there were several large spray equipment on the ground to disinfect the entire spacecraft.

This is a means of preventing radiation and space viruses, and it can also quickly cool the outer layer of the concave reflector to a certain extent.

After a series of spraying, some staff quickly cleaned the ground, and then a large ladder truck drove over and connected to the ship's launch port of the annular cabin of the spacecraft.

During the whole process, the leadership team and other personnel were still watching on the hillside. They could not approach for the time being. Whether watching or interviewing the live broadcast, they could only do it on the hillside.

At this time, more than an hour had passed since the landing of the Tianhang spacecraft, and someone finally walked down from the large ladder truck.

The first person to walk down was Captain Huang Youkun.

Huang Youkun looked good and was obviously in a very good mood. He seemed a little uncomfortable after stepping on the ground, and stomped his feet hard on the spot. A staff member in protective clothing went over to remind him, and then he looked towards the hillside and saluted very solemnly.

The live broadcast zoomed in, and you can see the firmness and solemnity on Huang Youkun's face. Then, under the guidance of medical staff, he walked into a prepared passage. In the passage, he could see his family or friends through the thick glass layer, and he could also say a few words to them through the sound hole.

Huang Youkun was followed by several people, either military representatives or personnel stationed by the Tianhang spacecraft. They had one thing in common, they were all soldiers.

They received a reminder in advance, and saluted towards the hillside as soon as they got off the ladder car.

It was a little different later.

Most of them were pure scientists, or representatives of other countries. They all showed joy and excitement on their faces. After walking out of the ladder car, they found a vast space, and all they could see were doctors, nurses, guards, or other staff.

This scene is a bit different from the warm welcome scene, but some people still waved around, as if many people came to greet him, and he was a big star that everyone was paying attention to.

James did this. He waved around with a smile on his face, and then felt a little embarrassed. He reached out and grabbed Ding Zhiqiang in front of him, "How is it? Have you finished your homework?"

"No."

Ding Zhiqiang was very happy to step on the ground again, but he felt bad when he thought of "homework". "The good news is that we need to be isolated for at least half a month."

"Is this good news? Because the nurse is beautiful?" James asked with some confusion.

"I can spend an extra half month to finish my homework..."

Ding Zhiqiang felt a little speechless. He looked behind him and stood there waiting for Alvalier. He patted his chest and said, "Valier, I will pay you back the money I lost to you immediately. I am a trustworthy person."

He sighed as he spoke, "I had a hunch that in the end, I had the best luck, but I missed it..."

Then he turned to James and asked, "How are you two doing? Will you win or lose in the end?"

"We're not continuing." James spread his hands and shrugged.

"You lost a lot..."

"That's just a small amount of money." James said indifferently. "It was very depressing to lose to him first, but I made 10 million US dollars this time."

Ding Zhiqiang felt a little blocked in his heart.

Alvalier didn't care and said, "Ding, you don't have to pay me back. It's really just a small amount of money. Speaking of which, my gains are not small."

"Before going, His Majesty the King promised that as long as I can come back, he will reward me with a private island and a plane..."

Ding Zhiqiang suddenly felt even more heartbroken. He raised his head and asked weakly, "Walir, do you think I still have a chance now that I have been reincarnated into the Saudi royal family?"

James raised his hands vigorously, "Me too."

A few people were chatting and joking casually when they saw Paul rushing out of the ladder car. He took a few steps to the ground. He couldn't stand and fell to the ground. Then he slapped the ground hard and cried, "Finally Back! Earth!"

"Earth, really Earth, I'm back!"

"I swear I will never board a spaceship again. Damn it, how could I be so stupid as to agree to go to Jupiter and agree to any voyage plan..."

"damn it……"

Paul Phil-Jones even cried like a child as he spoke, and many people behind him couldn't help laughing.

on the hill.

The host of Media One's live program explained, "The person coming out now is Paul Phil-Jones, the chief technical advisor of the spacecraft. Judging from his excited expression, it is obviously because of the success of the voyage plan!"

"He was celebrating the success and even burst into tears with excitement..."

"At this moment, there were laughter, laughter, and tears, but they were all for the successful return of the spacecraft."

"Presumably, Mr. Jones is already looking forward to the next voyage..."

…

The Tianhang spacecraft successfully returned home, and the spacecraft company also issued a celebratory announcement, "The Tianhang spacecraft and all personnel successfully returned to the ground. This voyage plan completed the satellite launch, probe release, round trip and orbit around Jupiter, and landed on Europa." Wait for important tasks.”

"During its journey to Europa, the Falcon 2 spacecraft successfully obtained samples from Europa, including 193 kilograms of soil and rock samples, 0.077 grams of air samples, and 67 kilograms of surface ice samples..."

"The Europa landing plan has achieved great success, and the voyage plan has achieved great success..."

"The voyage plan is also a major success for mankind in exploring the universe. It means that mankind has mastered the ability to break through the earth-moon system and sail across planets..."

"Next step, we will develop..."

at the same time.

Ding Zhiqiang was half lying on the bed in his pajamas, constantly scrolling through the news on his tablet, and couldn't help but press his forehead hard.

He was quiet for a long time, then picked up the phone and read the message on it again.

Teacher Wang: "Xiao Ding, how is your health? Are you okay?"

"Your parents said that it looks normal. I also read the physical examination report. It is very healthy. It seems that I have gained five pounds more than when I went there..."

A series of words of concern ended, and finally, "By the way, how are you going with the theoretical content of the new discoveries in the experiment? Send the report over when you have time."

"I am looking forward……"
