Rich life from scratch

Chapter 298

After drinking and eating, he didn't engage in other programs. Lin Qishan was more attractive to bed in the cold weather, so he went back to his room early to rest, slept warmly until dawn, and set off after eating breakfast.

The two cars went to the northeast suburbs of Moscow and left the noisy city. On the road, they could see magnificent birch forests standing majestically in the wind and snow. Their destination was the space city deep in the birch forest.

The full name is "Yuri Gagarin Astronaut Training Center". It used to be a strict military restricted area in the Soviet era. Although there are no armed soldiers guarding it now, the Aerospace City still needs to be accompanied by internal personnel to enter.

Inside is a small town with a population of less than 1, where aerospace-related staff and their families live. On the road, you can see many buildings with the style of the former Soviet Union. They are long and symmetrical, not high but wide.

Life here is not as hustle and bustle as in Moscow. Occasionally tourists will visit. Nowadays, the space city has been commercialized and contracted by a state-owned group company. Tourists can spend more than 1 US dollars to experience the training content of astronauts.

People like Lin Qishan who really want to go into space are high-end customized tourists. They are received by special personnel throughout the process, have special translators and directly participate in the training of astronauts.

The specific cost of the whole process depends on his overall quality and training performance, so as to calculate the cost of sending him to the space station to calculate the total cost.

After Lin Qishan arrived, yesterday's director, a man named Ivan Dotolev, and yesterday's eye-catching ice and snow beauty translator Katya warmly received them.

First, he led a visit to the Space City, learned about Gagarin, the first astronaut in human history, visited Russia's development and current situation in the aerospace field after inheriting the Soviet heritage, and other tourist projects.

Then the point is to tell him that a qualified astronaut needs 2-3 years and 3000 hours of training, and most of the astronauts who can get training are excellent fighter pilots!
It means that astronauts are the elites in the human elite profession!
Kajia, who was in charge of the translation, changed his voice and told him in an optimistic tone: "But these standards are for astronauts in important positions. They belong to professional astronauts. With the development of today's technology, for non-professional astronauts The requirements have been lowered a lot.”

The alliance spacecraft can seat three people, the first two are "commander" and "flight engineer", and the third is "scientific research astronaut", which is the identity that Lin Qishan will assume in the future.

Although he wanted to go to the sky and visit the space station as a tourist, but because of the scarcity of space resources, everyone, even tourists, had to shoulder corresponding tasks!

For example, replace the equipment parts of the space station, perform maintenance or simple repairs on daily tools, assist the team in the processing of living materials, and other tasks.

So strictly speaking, after successfully going into space after training, he is no longer a pure tourist. He can be called an "astronaut" who can do his job in all aspects!

After Kajia introduced these things vividly, Lin Qishan wanted to know more: "Then how can I evaluate whether I can become this scientific research astronaut?"

Katya is still young, and she has a very enthusiastic feeling for her work: "Your performance in the next series of assessments will determine the content, duration, and time of your aerospace training until you actually board the alliance rocket!"

That is to say, without further ado, start testing!
The first is the physical examination, blood and urine samples, to check that he does not have any diseases that are not suitable for space training... This test is easy to pass, Lin Qishan is very healthy in all aspects.

Then there is the preliminary test, the centrifuge!
This is a hurdle that all pilots, especially fighter pilots, face.

The centrifuge can produce an overload gravity of 10-12 G in the state of high-speed shaking. The centrifuge in the Aerospace City is said to be stronger and can simulate a higher intensity overload.

Although this part was not expressed, Kajia told him quietly that the thorough investigation of this project will determine his future training speed. If the basics are average, more time will be needed for basic training.

If his talent is good, the progress will be greatly accelerated, and there is no need to waste it in the simple links... Lin Qishan specially reminded her to thank: "Thank you, if I pass, I will treat you to dinner!"

Kajia smiled and said nothing, and watched Lin Qishan go up the centrifuge.

I thought to myself that this guy might not be carried down in a daze later.

It is true that Lin Qishan looks so young that he can easily confuse others. He feels that he is more like a rich man who came to experience the excitement. He probably just went through the aerospace training process and spent a few hundred thousand dollars to enjoy the excitement. Withdrew after being meager!

There are many examples like this. Some people were ambitious before they came, didn’t they just go to space? I have money and courage, but in the end I couldn’t even survive the training level and ran away in despair... But the company likes this kind of thing Overcome, less workload, higher income!

Here, Lin Qishan has already started to put sensors on his body, wrapped a sphygmomanometer belt around his arm, and was pushed into the centrifuge by the staff. Kajia was in charge of translation: "We will gradually increase the G value for you. If you find it unbearable, Please press the emergency button at hand."

"Of course, we will also monitor your face, heart rate and blood throughout the whole process. If it is abnormal, it will stop immediately. Please take it easy and accept this test!"

Lin Qishan was very confident: "Go ahead!"

The centrifuge door is closed.

The camera was aimed at his face, which was displayed on the screen in the external studio, and everyone watched.

The centrifuge starts to work and spins up.

Lin Qishan's expression was normal, his heart rate was also very steady, and his breathing was not even disturbed.

Although he felt that there was a force pressing on him and it was constantly increasing, compared to the usual crazy aerobatics, it was really just a warm-up exercise, and his heartbeat didn't accelerate. He could even think and deduce that this was a few Gs. .

3G... 4G... 5G... A group of people outside saw Lin Qishan standing still like a rock, and their expressions gradually became serious.

"He's doing well, keep increasing!"

The engineer said something, so the centrifuge was turned on to 6G, 7G!

Lin Qishan's heart rate began to rise, and the feeling of oppression gradually came up!
Ordinary people would either faint directly in this situation, or it would become difficult to breathe!

Lin Qishan is now in a pure physical state, not wearing an anti-G suit, so he began to use the abdominal breathing necessary for fighter pilots, and fully adjusted his state to breathe in and out of air!
When the outside staff saw his breathing rhythm, they knew that this guy had definitely been trained professionally!This is not a skill that ordinary people will master, they came prepared!

So the engineer signaled to increase the strength, and the centrifuge reached 8 G, and even reached 9 G at one point!
It feels to him that it is no longer as short-lived as flying a plane in the past, and he continues to exert pressure under the condition of +8G!

Experimental studies have shown that if the acceleration up to +8G can be tolerated for 40 seconds, the flight acceleration stress produced by the "Alliance" spacecraft can be well tolerated.

Lin Qishan is a purely physical confrontation for beginners. In the camera, his eyeballs have protruded, and his heart rate was close to 200 at one point, but he still did not faint. He survived the 8G, 40-second astronaut standard assessment!

This scene was incredible for everyone, including Katya. It's not like she hasn't seen outstanding astronauts. They, who are born in fighter jets, may also be able to withstand this challenge.

But before Lin Qishan came here, he was clearly an ordinary person, a 20-year-old college student!This is no longer what professional training can make up for, but that he has a strong talent himself!

"not bad!"

"You can stop!"

The engineer signaled to stop, and then picked up Lin Qishan's information to re-read, very skeptical: "Are you sure that he was not arranged by the Air Force system? I don't believe it when you say that he has not been trained under such conditions!"

Those people on the Russian side were somewhat skeptical, because Lin Qishan's performance just now was too good!
His assistant shook his head at the side: "Mr. Lin is just very fond of aerobatics, and he is also a racing driver, able to control F1-level cars."

"Oh!" The engineer suddenly understood, "His physical fitness is very good, and he can keep up with the professional training content of astronauts in this aspect. After he comes down, let's discuss it with the people in the company in detail!"
