Six hundred years ago, Wan Hu, who was strapped with dozens of rockets and dreamed of entering space, eventually died on the rocket he loved.
Six hundred years later, the dream of thousands of households flying into the sky has finally come true among our generation!
"The manned spacecraft is operating normally!"
Yang Hongwei's condition in space is much better than everyone imagined.
Through the personal health monitoring system integrated in the space suit, it can be seen that all functional indicators are in good condition.
"Report to the ground command center that the spacecraft is flying around the earth at a speed of ninety minutes!"
As the first person in China to enter space, Yang Hongwei's good condition has given everyone a lot of confidence.
In fact, in previous lives, astronauts who had just entered space were not in such good condition.
The main reason is still the rocket system, and the integration between various subsystems is not enough.
When the rocket was launched, the cabin where the astronauts were staying experienced strong vibrations, which caused a strong sense of discomfort to the astronauts aboard.
Only after the manned spacecraft entered space and entered a low gravity state did things get much better.
In fact, it is normal for you to feel discomfort when you ride a rocket for the first time and launch into space.
Even if you have gone through various trainings on the ground, you will still feel physical discomfort when the rocket's surging push is loaded on your body.
Even in a future where technology is more developed, there is no good way to solve this problem.
After all, it is impossible to overcome the gravity of the earth itself and enter space without a certain speed.
Unless the world can point out the technology of a space elevator, judging from the current materials science and engineering, it is impossible to point out a space elevator within fifty years without a miracle. This is a must for space development. Technology.
Although they had just entered space, the astronauts still showed good qualities and started various tasks in an orderly manner according to predetermined procedures.
"How does it feel to see the Earth from space?"
After checking the flight parameters of the manned spacecraft, the ground control center breathed a sigh of relief and found that there were no problems. As the commander-in-chief, Zhao Tianming even had the time to ask a question that everyone was more concerned about, but in fact Issues that are not on the to-do list.
"Unprecedentedly spectacular!"
Yang Hongwei, floating in the orbital module, looked in front of the porthole of the manned spacecraft and transmitted his voice back to the ground.
From space, looking at the ground from a distance, the first thing that attracts attention is the cloud system that is separated but seems to be connected.
When the manned spacecraft flies over the Pacific Ocean, you can even see the typhoon vortex slowly forming in the Pacific Ocean.
And when flying over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, these mountains and rivers that could only be seen in full on topographic maps came into view so clearly for the first time.
A large river that winds and twists and turns in the shape of a zigzag on the northwest plateau, running through the middle of the country!
There are several large plains formed by the Dabie Mountains in the central and eastern parts of the country.
As well as his dreaming hometown, the Northeast Plains that particularly attracts his attention even in space.
Next to the blue-green bay is my hometown.
In space, look in other directions and discover many beautiful scenery that you have never discovered before.
Even the mountains stretching to the southwest are as clear as ever.
Vaguely, you can still see touches of white, some of which are white clouds, and some of which are the ice and snow that have not melted for many years on the peaks thousands of meters above sea level.
Only from space can we discover that there are so many mountains and rivers here.
Yang Hongwei slightly adjusted the position of the camera in the cabin, pointed the camera lens at the blue-and-white planet, and took his first photo after entering space!
The photo data is transmitted to the control center after transcoding through communication relay satellites in space and receiving stations on the ground.
A very special photo of the country is presented to everyone.
Although before this, most of us as aerospace workers have seen a few photos taken by satellites.
But this is the first time I have seen such photos of the country taken from a human perspective.
Even in this photo, the pixels are not particularly high due to the photography equipment.
But it still captured the majestic feeling of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Within the three domestic control centers, everyone immediately began to admire this first photo taken by a Chinese in space.
"The shooting angle was chosen well."
Zhang Xingyang unconsciously touched the stubble he had just shaved off with his left hand and commented secretly in his heart.
A few minutes after this photo was sent back to the ground, someone completed some detailed repairs and then sent it to the media who were still waiting.
Although it is almost lunch time, because the rocket launch day is Saturday, many families have been waiting in front of the TV all day, waiting to see news about the manned spacecraft.
After all, new media at this time has not yet developed the soil.
Everyone receives information. Except for newspapers and magazines, which have a certain lag, if you want to know all kinds of information as soon as possible, you can only rely on television.
On this day, at least tens of millions of people stayed in front of the television, waiting for the first-hand information sent back by astronauts from space.
Especially the audience who had just watched the rocket launch and were intrigued.
The first one to get the news was naturally Yang Ma.
The news channel broadcast almost no other news today, all related to manned spaceflight.
After receiving the transmitted space photos, the news program host introduced them to everyone with excitement.
"Dear viewers, this is the first photo our astronauts just took in space."
"We can see that this is an aerial photo of our country."
"From the photo, we can see the Yangtze River and the Yellow River!"
For many people in front of the TV, this was the first time they had seen so clearly what the country they were in was like.
Before this, many people had no clear idea about this.
While most people on the ground are still sighing at the photos, the astronauts in space have already begun their next mission.
Yang Hongwei activated the recording function on the camera and started recording video.
Each hand held a small flag, the blue and white Union flag and the fiery red national flag.
"The peaceful use of space benefits all mankind!"
Yang Hongwei's determined voice was transmitted back to the ground from hundreds of kilometers away in space.
This is our best wish and our attitude on space development.
At this time, everyone still adopts an attitude of peaceful development to deal with possible space cooperation.
Of course, judging from the situation in future generations, it is only our best wish to peacefully develop space for all mankind.
After a few decades, space quickly became an advantage used by developed countries to bully other countries.
However, everyone still holds such good wishes at this time, thinking that everyone can unite as one and go to the universe.
The video reached the ground and was disseminated through major TV stations. Naturally, it triggered a large-scale discussion among the public.
There are those who are happy and excited, and there are those who are contemptuous and disdainful.
"It would be great if we could all develop space together in the future!"
This is the view of the happy and excited.
"Yingjiang, what you can do more than 40 years ago, what's there to be proud of!"
This is the inner thought of someone who scorns and disdains.
But no matter what others think, they can't hide the fact.
That is, after this, there were only two countries in the world that independently mastered manned space technology, which increased to three.
Most people are still very proud of this, especially people related to aerospace, who feel a strong sense of honor.
For example, a very special group is the families of astronauts.
The first batch of astronauts, for various reasons, were all selected with families.
Not only is it considered that after performing a space mission, it may have a certain impact on the astronauts' bodies, and it may cause fertility problems.
Moreover, people with families generally have better psychological quality.
Now, these extremely special military wives are very excited in the space base, watching the broadcast of the spacecraft. (The first batch of domestic astronauts all had military status, so their family members were also military wives.)
However, among these people, the most important figure is missing, that is, the wife of the astronaut in space.
Let us adjust our sights to the ground flight control center thousands of kilometers away from the base.
Yang Hongwei's wife, wearing a black uniform, stood excitedly in front of the communication desk in the control center, preparing to talk to her husband in heaven.
As a military wife, the two of them were together when Yang Hongwei was still a fighter pilot.
At that time, whenever Yang Hongwei took off in a fighter plane, she couldn't help but worry.
After her lover was selected to become an astronaut, this worry once weakened. After all, in her mind, there were so many astronauts in the first batch, and the chance of choosing her husband was not that high.
But after knowing that Yang Hongwei would be the first astronaut to fly into space, she still firmly supported it.
Fortunately, the most dangerous launch phase has passed.
"Hongwei, how does it feel in space?"
With a trembling voice, she asked her husband who was far away in space.
Yang Hongwei didn't actually know that his wife would be talking to him on the phone beforehand.
So when I first met my lover, I was a little surprised, but soon the feeling became warm.
"I feel great!"
Although they couldn't see their wives' faces, the two of them could hear each other's concern from their voices.
As for Yang Hongwei's statement that it feels very good, it is true. The main reason is that in the microgravity environment of space, the human spine no longer has to bear the pressure of gravity and will feel much more relaxed.
"How does it feel to see the Earth from space?"
The gentle woman asked with a smile after caring about her husband.
“The view is spectacular and beautiful!”
While Yang Hongwei was talking, he looked at the earth under the porthole of the manned spacecraft.
The spacecraft moves very fast and can circle the earth in ninety minutes, so in his eyes, the scenery of the earth almost never changes.
Even those white clouds moving extremely fast above the ground are like cotton pinned to the earth and ocean.
"We all saw the photos you sent back. They are beautiful!"
Yang Hongwei's wife said excitedly:
"We are all proud of you and everyone is happy!"
At this time, she greeted a little boy next to her.
As the control center of manned spaceflight, children normally do not exist, but he is special.
He is Yang Hongwei's only son.
"Talk to daddy."
The little boy shouted playfully into the microphone:
"dad!"
Yang Hongwei, who was far away in space, heard his son's voice and replied happily:
"Why!"
Everyone in the control center smiled and looked at the warm scene in front of them.
After a brief exchange, the family members left the control center where various tasks still needed to be carried out.
Yang Hongwei, who was inside the manned spacecraft, also started his various tasks.
When unmanned manned spacecraft were launched several times before, they also carried a lot of scientific research instruments.
For example, last time, it was equipped with a space crystal growth furnace and a space cell fusion test bench.
However, these devices all started working under the action of automatic control systems at that time.
Not only can they not be able to adapt to the situation and solve various problems that arise during the experiment at any time.
There is no way to design experiments on site based on the conditions in space.
Yang Hongwei skillfully opened the equipment on board the spacecraft, including cosmic high-energy ray observation equipment, solar wind particle detectors, solar ultraviolet spectrum monitors, etc.
Because the space of the manned spacecraft has increased a lot, it is equipped with more experimental equipment than in previous lives.
What is more important here is a spatial growth cycle system.
It is used in the microgravity environment of space to provide necessary nutrients, air, sunlight, water, etc. for the growth of plants.
Currently, this set can only allow small and medium-sized plants to grow.
But in fact, in the future, after such a system is expanded, it can be used as a necessary equipment for human beings to survive in space cities, a biological circulation system!
But now everyone is not aware of this and only regards it as part of the space biological experiment.
As the first domestic astronaut activity in orbit, Yang Hongwei's time in orbit was not as long as six months when later space stations were built. His mission time was only 60 hours.
However, this still does not prevent the 1.3 billion people on the ground from feeling proud of these short three days!
From now on, the Dragon Kingdom will begin to rapidly surpass other countries in the world in terms of aerospace! (End of chapter)
