At one o'clock in the afternoon, test the control hall of the airport control center.
All the staff in front of the big screen were in place, and the more than 300 people in the visiting area were all seated neatly.
As the commander-in-chief of this test flight, Dai Ping'an, dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, announced the official start of the test flight with a smile on his face.
"Start building the beam channel!" the staff shouted.
At this time, a blue beam appeared in the sky above the test airport, and the blue beam slanted straight into space.
After the staff issued a signal to start the space shuttle code-named 01, the engine of the airborne Bluebird space shuttle at the test airport started, and red light beams appeared in many parts of it.
Space Shuttle Zero-1 slowly lifted off the ground.
Everyone in the visiting area watched the Space Shuttle Zero-1 flying higher and higher through the windows of the control hall.
Slowly, Space Shuttle Zero-1 separated from everyone's realization.
At this time, everyone in the visiting area turned their attention to the big screen in the control hall.
Judging from the parameters displayed on the big screen, the altitude of Space Shuttle Zero-1 is still increasing.
Soon, the altitude reached three kilometers, and the Space Shuttle Zero-1 was in a blue beam of thirty meters in diameter.
At this time, Space Shuttle Zero-1 was hovering there, with red light emitting from its entire body.
Dai Pingan explained with a smile on his face: "The Space Shuttle Zero-1 is hovering there to test the system, such as the energy system, power system, communication system, control system, etc. This process will last for five minutes."
On the big screen, the progress bar of related system tests is running quickly.
What everyone is most concerned about is the condition of the battery pack.
Flying slowly from the ground to an altitude of three kilometers, the battery pack consumed 30% of its energy.
But after Space Shuttle Zero-1 entered the beam channel, in just ten seconds, 30% of the energy consumed by the battery pack was directly charged.
Seeing this scene, the guests were amazed.
Five minutes later, Plane Zero-1 moved and accelerated in the direction of the beam channel.
"The targets of this six space shuttle test flights are all geostationary orbits where space solar power plants are located."
"When the space shuttle flies along the beam channel, half of the distance is constantly accelerating, and half of the distance is constant deceleration. On average, the speed of the space shuttle is between 20 kilometers per second and 30 kilometers per second."
"The current Space Shuttle Zero-1 is continuing to accelerate, but its speed in the atmosphere will not be too fast. Its speed will not be revealed until it reaches an altitude of one hundred kilometers. According to calculations, its fastest speed will reach fifty kilometers. Miles per second.”
…
The guests listened to Dai Ping'an's explanation while looking at the big screen.
Five minutes later, the altitude of Space Shuttle Zero-1 reached one hundred kilometers, and its speed was three kilometers per second.
If averaged, its speed is slightly faster than the speed of sound.
The reason is that the Space Shuttle Zero-1 flew too slowly in the lower atmosphere.
"Are you surprised? Five minutes have passed and the space shuttle has only reached an altitude of 100 kilometers. If it had been a rocket, I don't know where it would have flown."
"I want to explain here that we are conducting a test flight. Please give in. We will not fly too fast in the atmosphere in the future. This is to protect the space shuttle."
"After flying out of the atmosphere, you can let go. As you can see, the speed of Space Shuttle Zero-1 has reached six kilometers per second, and it is still increasing."
】
Listening to Dai Ping'an's explanation, everyone stared at the big screen to see the acceleration, speed, and altitude of Space Shuttle Zero-1.
Another five minutes passed. The acceleration of Space Shuttle Zero-1 was zero, the speed was 50 kilometers per second, and the altitude was 14,500 kilometers.
Dai Pingan smiled and said: "Look! Fifty kilometers per second, to be honest, this speed can continue to increase, by the way! The five staff members and five guests who control the humanoid bionic robot on the Zero-1 space shuttle are now Be prepared, we will reach our destination in five minutes."
After Dai Pingan said this, the acceleration displayed on the big screen became negative, and its speed began to decrease continuously.
Su Zhe, Ning Qiaoqiao, Fan Xiaoming, Ning Changsheng and other ten people left their seats, put on gloves and glasses and sat in the game cabin amidst the envious expressions of the guests.
When Su Zhe, Ning Qiaoqiao and the ten others were ready, the altitude of the space shuttle had exceeded 30,000 kilometers.
The five staff members and five guests who control the humanoid bionic robot work together in pairs.
Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao were in a group, wearing outdoor armored space suits.
Fan Xiaoming and Ning Changsheng were in a group, wearing outdoor lightweight spacesuits.
Next, people like Bao Qizheng, Bao Zhengyi, Zuo Dajun, and Xu Zhengping only wore indoor spacesuits.
But they also have spacewalk missions.
In the game cabin, Su Zhe can switch between two different perspectives. One is the perspective of the humanoid bionic robot he controls.
The other is the God's perspective, which is the same as the control hall, monitoring every detail of the space shuttle flight through the SS-defense system.
Through this perspective, what is seen are nine other humanoid robots in space suits in the cabin.
These humanoid robots sit or stand and are held in place by ropes.
After Su Zhe greeted several people in the public channel, he changed the channel to He Ning Qiaoqiao's channel and changed his perspective to God's perspective.
Looking at the altitude, he knew he was about to reach his destination.
In the control hall, Dai Pingan explained: "Everyone, please pay attention. The altitude of Space Shuttle Zero-1 has reached more than 35,000 kilometers, and it will soon leave the beam channel. Then it will rely on the energy output it carries to generate energy. The space shuttle can use solar energy in space to replenish energy, or it can be charged through the beam emitter on the space solar power station. If If that doesn’t work, we can also charge it through the SS-defense system.”
After Dai Pingan finished speaking, Space Shuttle Zero-1 had left the beam channel.
Through constant adjustments, it entered a geosynchronous orbit with an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, and its straight-line distance from the Space Solar Space Station is only 20 kilometers.
After Space Shuttle Zero-1 stably entered synchronous orbit, a blue beam with a diameter of three meters shone on the fuselage of Space Shuttle Zero-1.
After one minute, it was filled up after using 20% of the energy.
Instantly, applause and cheers erupted in the control hall.
After a while, Dai Pingan saw everyone quiet down and said with a smile: "Okay! Now that the Space Shuttle Zero-1 has successfully entered orbit, the next thing to see is the performance of the humanoid bionic robot and the space suit."
As he said that, a split screen appeared on the big screen.
Shown in a split screen is a cabin containing ten remotely controlled humanoid robots.
At this time, ten humanoid bionic robots were untying their ropes.
Soon, all the ropes were untied.
With a slight exertion, they all floated up.
At this time, ten humanoid bionic robots waved to the camera in the cabin and shouted in unison.
"Hello everyone!"
The shout came from the mouths of ten people sitting in the game cabin, but the sound was converted into a signal and passed to the synchronization track. Then it was transmitted back to the control hall, and the signal was converted into a sound and played out.
"Hello everyone!" Dai Pingan smiled, "Okay! Let's start your mission!"
Thirty-six thousand kilometers above the equator, the Space Shuttle Zero-1 and the space solar power station are flying simultaneously.
In Space Shuttle Zero-1, ten humanoid robots wearing space suits floated toward another cabin while communicating.
The cabin is now a pressurized cabin.
Everyone came to another cabin, and under the operation of Bao Qizheng, the two cabins were isolated.
At this time, everything else in the cabin was extracted, and it quickly approached a vacuum state.
Su Zhe's clumsy control hand gently clicked a red button, and the hatch to the outside slowly opened.
Through the hatch, all I saw was the dazzling sun and nothing else.
Su Zhe looked at the other people and said, "Everyone! Please!"
"No!"
"Isn't this bad!"
"This is a historic moment!"
…
No one wants to be the first to step out.
Several people discussed for a long time and agreed that the person wearing the armored space suit should go out first, followed by the person wearing the light space suit, and finally the person wearing the indoor space suit.
The reason is that the first two have independent power.
Under the witness of everyone in the control hall, as well as teachers, students of Lingzhou University of Technology, personnel of Jiutian Research Center, and related personnel.
The humanoid robots wearing armored space suits controlled by Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao floated out of the hatch hand in hand one after the other.
After the two floated some distance away, the power system on the armored space suit started.
Adjust your posture. They faced the cabin door holding hands.
"It's your turn!" Su Zhe said.
"good!"
"immediately!"
Fan Xiaoming and Ning Changsheng controlled a humanoid bionic robot wearing a lightweight spacesuit to float out of the hatch.
After the two of them adjusted their postures, the remaining six people floated out one after another.
Different from the first two, the six at the back are connected together by ropes.
"Okay! Everyone is out! Let's start our own tasks!" Zuo Dajun said on the public channel.
"good!"
"let's start!"
“If you don’t have power, it means it’s hard to operate!”
…
The six people who were tied together by ropes were a little confused when they came out. You pulled me, I pulled you, and they bumped into each other.
Finally, it was with the help of Fan Xiaoming and Ning Changsheng that he adjusted his posture.
Then the two took six people around the Space Shuttle Zero-1 and the space solar power station.
During the activity, a group of eight of them had to be careful, after all, they had six burdens.
There is no need for Su Zhe and Ning Qiaoqiao.
The two of them first walked around the space shuttle Zero-1, and then around the space solar power station.
Flying, the two came to the SS-Defense System detector, which was fifty kilometers away in a straight line and also in synchronous orbit.
Flying farther and farther, when the energy of their armored space suits was only 30%, the two spread out their wings.
The three-meter-diameter blue beam generated by the space solar power station accurately shines on the wings of the space suit.
In less than a minute, the energy reached one hundred percent.
Compared with the armored space suit, the lightweight space suit also charges in the same way, but the latter does not have wings and the charging speed is slower.
"The data of the three spacesuits are all good. The indoor spacesuit can last for several hours in space, while the other two last longer." Fan Xiaoming said, "The remotely controlled humanoid bionic robot cannot feel it. If it is a real person, it will There are three urgent things to consider, hey! We have to control them well, otherwise what we prepared in advance will be used, isn’t it a big army!”
"I was adjusting a week ago. My trip to space this time will not take more than four hours. As for an accident, I can only hold my nose and admit it." Zuo Dajun replied.
"Army! It seems that you have already planned to go to space." Fan Xiaoming said.
The humanoid bionic robots controlled by Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming fly around in space.
People watching from the earth are extremely envious, and they all want to experience it in space wearing a space suit.
Testing the airport control hall.
The guests were extremely envious, and the remaining twenty-five staff members and twenty-five guests who could control the humanoid bionic robot were already ready to take action.
At this time, Dai Pingan was no longer explaining. Like the guests, he was looking at the big screen and discussing quietly with the people around him.
On the large screen, in addition to the split screen showing the Space Shuttle Zero-1 and the ten humanoid bionic robots, there are also many split screens showing the status parameters of the humanoid bionic robots and space suits.
Ten humanoid bionic robots, ten indoor space suits, two outdoor lightweight space suits, and two outdoor armored space suits.
Judging from the constantly updated status parameters, everything is perfect.
Glancing at the big screen, Dai Ping'an whispered to Li Congshan, the dean of the School of Computer Science who was sitting next to him: "Your computer school has been making a lot of achievements recently! Supercomputers, photonic chips, remote control robot systems, virtual solar systems, etc., and you guys The virtual universe that is being prepared has surpassed other colleges and universities. You can’t even see the taillights of the car. To be honest, your college’s ambitions are really big.”
"Isn't it the same for you!" Li Congshan smiled, "Don't design too many aircraft based on the simplified version of the heavy photon aerospace engine. Some are in the atmosphere, some are in the outer atmosphere, some are for civilian use, and some are for military use. You're welcome. He said that according to the pace of your college, he wants to monopolize the aerospace manufacturing industry."
"Monopoly! Not interested. Our purpose is to research the most advanced and reasonable aircraft. What we value is technology. Making money is not our purpose." Dai Ping'an smiled, "Now we can say that today's test flight is successful, otherwise How long will it take for the light pillar project to start construction? With endless energy, we don’t care whether we have money or not. If we have energy, resources, and technology, we can do anything.”
"That's the truth!" Li Congshan nodded, "By the way! I can't wait when the Space Shuttle Zero-2 will take off."
"I really envy you. You can participate as a staff member. I wouldn't have this opportunity." Dai Ping'an said with a smile.
"Who calls you the commander-in-chief!" Li Congshan said, "Tell me! When will it start?"
Dai Pingan looked at the time on the big screen and replied, "In five minutes!"
