Chapter 433 Aerospace

After all that needed to be said, Zhao He was finally in the mood to eat.

But at this time, there was not much time left - he still had to study in the evening.

So after devouring some food, Zhao He rejected the two people's offer to send him back to school and ran out of the box in a hurry.

John Woo had no choice but to continue sitting down and order another table for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan's feelings of disappointment towards the Chaos Ball were almost covered by the various strange and bizarre images he had just seen on the card.

While she was eating, she listened to John Woo talk about what talented people he had recruited back then.

After half-full, I decided not to give up and went to the old street where I had spent the middle of the night.

Sure enough, I didn't see anything, so I finally went back to the house to sleep in despair.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

Lin Fan, who was not in such high spirits, still met the energetic Wang Fengfeng in the cafeteria.

As soon as the two met, they naturally exchanged information about what they had seen the day before.

Lin Fan told about the situation of going to see Zhao He and the outcome of staying there at night to no avail.

Wang Fengfeng laughed at her and told her the latest news he learned yesterday.

"The space shuttle is about to fly."

"Huh?" Lin Fan raised his head from the beef soup bowl and put the vermicelli into his mouth in several mouthfuls. "space shuttle?"

Country H's aerospace industry has developed well in recent years, sending spacecraft to the sky from time to time, but there seems to be no news about the space shuttle...

Compared with rockets, which are scrapped once and for all, the space shuttle's ability to make repeated trips, as well as its relatively autonomous and convenient mode of movement, have made people full of expectations for it.

Country P built its first aviation aircraft decades ago.

I thought that Country H would catch up soon, but for some unknown reason, the space station was already out of shape, and there was no news about the space shuttle.

As time passed, no one mentioned it, and it was naturally ignored by most people.

"Yes, the news has just reached us, keep it safe. Preparations are already being made for the launch. If nothing else happens, it should be within a month or two." Wang Fengfeng sighed, "Think about how our pilots can It’s great to travel freely by air…”

"Aeroplanes need to carry people, right?" Lin Fan asked, "It seems different from rockets, but people need to control the trajectory of the aircraft, right?"

"People also need to control rockets, but many values ​​​​are set in advance, just like the directional cruise of an airplane." Wang Fengfeng corrected her mistake, "When the space shuttle takes off, it is not much different from the rocket. The orbit is set, but the manual control during the orbit is indeed a bit stronger.”

Generally, a rocket completes its mission by sending the aviation capsule into orbit, and most of the rocket bodies that break away are scrapped.

Airplanes are different.

From the very beginning of its design, it was required to be built to specifications that could be reused at least a hundred times.

When an aviation aircraft is launched, it is like a rocket. When it is running in low-Earth orbit, it is like a docking ship. When it lands, it absorbs the elements of the aircraft when it lands. It can be regarded as an aviation complex.

Currently known space shuttles can carry three to seven people in orbit and can stay in orbit for one week to one month.

And its carrying capacity is also strong. It can bring 15 tons of things up, and tons of supplies when it comes back.

Most of the tasks that are generally required to be performed by the space shuttle are space vehicle rendezvous, docking, docking operations, etc.

There are also a series of mobile tasks such as the transportation of astronauts and supplies, the launch, maintenance, and recovery of satellites and space stations.

Because it is the only aircraft that can enter space, carry large satellites into and out of orbit, and can be reused. Its importance in the field of aerospace science is self-evident.

Lin Fan took out his mobile phone and could not see any relevant news on the news app.

"The external news hasn't come out yet, and the higher-ups are still not sure whether this test flight will be announced." Wang Fengfeng picked up a fried bun and put it in his mouth.

There are risks with any test.

In the past few years, rocket launch technology has become more and more mature, successfully sending space capsules into the sky one after another.

But despite this, there are still countless people sweating in front of the screen every time the countdown to launch begins.

Everyone cheered until it successfully lifted off and entered orbit.

space ship. Something similar to a rocket, but completely different.

Just seeing that it has disappeared for so many years shows how difficult research and development is.

Although it has been successfully developed, it can only be considered a real success if it can be launched successfully, operate normally, and land safely.

All of this requires constant testing, accumulation, and improvement.

Everyone hopes the launch is successful.

But for the first test flight, I’m afraid even the researchers themselves didn’t know what to do?

Therefore, if it is not announced to the public, the failure of the launch will dampen public momentum. It’s understandable that you want to wait until the technology matures before making it public.

"Where is the launch? If it is not announced publicly, we won't be able to see the TV broadcast, right?" Lin Fan asked.

"It seems to be in the South Island." Wang Fengfeng replied, and then showed a longing look on his face, "I really want to see it."

Lin Fan also wanted to take a look.

But think about it again, if it fails, it will be even more uncomfortable to watch the scene. The joy in my heart also disappeared.

I thought this matter had nothing to do with me and just let it pass.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Zhu Cunjun called her to the office.

Lin Fan knocked on the door and went in. Seeing that John Woo was not there, he thought he hadn't arrived yet, so he stood at the door, not knowing whether to wait for him or go in first.

"Xiao Lin, come on, come on." Zhu Cunjun greeted with a smile and called Lin Fan to the sofa.

Lin Fan obediently took the tea cup he handed over, thinking that Wu Yusen had encountered some kind of situation and why he hadn't arrived yet.

"Waiting for Xiao Wu?" Zhu Cunjun knew what she was thinking by looking around, "No need to wait, I didn't notify him."

"Ah?" Lin Fan was stunned.

Isn't John Woo her leader? Usually tasks are assigned to her through John Woo. It's only been a few months, so she shouldn't be able to leave the Novice Village yet, right?

"Is he okay?" After reacting, Lin Fan immediately became worried about John Woo's safety.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Cunjun smiled and waved his hand, "I didn't notify him to come because you are the subject of this mission and you are the one who has to make the decision. There is no need to have him by your side."

I don't want John Woo around because I'm afraid he will interfere with my decision.

Lin Fan understood for a moment, and then his heart was lifted.

What kind of major event would you be afraid of others interfering with your decision?

"Don't be nervous, let's just chat casually without any mental burden." Zhu Cunjun said with a smile, "You may not know that there is a big event in the aerospace field recently. This space shuttle has been successfully developed and produced. ”

"I know this. I knew it two days ago." Lin Fan replied, not daring to drink the tea in his hand.

"Yes. If you know, then I won't go into details." The director continued, "This time, a task was sent from above, and Xingchen was designated to execute it. But it's not a hard task, so I'm here to ask you what you think. "

"What is it?"

After thinking about it, Lin Fan wondered whether he should let her get on the space shuttle and fly with him? So if danger happens, she can turn into a star and escape?

In this way, although the plane is lost, at least the pilot will not be lost.

But it was about to be launched, would she still have time to learn the operational knowledge?

"When the aircraft is launched, can you fly with it?" Zhu Cunjun smiled lightly.

Just when Lin Fan thought what he said was the same as what he thought, he added another sentence.

"It's like a star, escorting the space shuttle from the side."

It wasn't until late that I saw the news about whose rocket launch failed.

Ah, I just happened to write about this, and I didn’t just want to gain popularity.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the popularity of ZB BBQ, but after thinking about it, there is no plot. I can't write about Lin Fan going to eat BBQ, right? Never mind. Ha ha

The groundwork for space has begun here, it’s coming soon.
