Chapter 283 Enter Space!
For a whole night and a day, Hua Long was almost inseparable from Su Xiaofan.
It made Su Xiaofan a little depressed, you said you are such a freshman leader, why should you go, what is it to always follow yourself.
The launch time was at night, so Su Xiaofan was fine the next day, and listened to Hualong talking about it for another day.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that a car picked up Su Xiaofan and Hualong, and drove directly to the launch tower that had already stood.
"Xiaofan, don't participate in the ceremony, go directly into the space capsule."
Hualong sent Su Xiaofan under the launch tower. It stands to reason that the launch center would hold a ceremony for the astronauts, but Su Xiaofan's identity is not suitable for participation.
This time the manned spaceship actually has five people on board, but it is advertised as four people. Su Xiaofan's name will also be hidden and he will not show up during the whole process.
"Okay, Uncle Hua, then let's see you later."
Su Xiaofan smiled and waved at Hualong. Under the guidance of the staff, wearing an aviation suit, he entered the space capsule from the launch tower.
The space capsule is not big, and the full capacity is the standard of seven people. This time is already the largest number of people carried, and usually three people rotate.
After Su Xiaofan waited in the space capsule for about an hour and a half, the other four astronauts entered one by one.
"Xiao Su, how are you doing? Are you nervous?"
The leader of the team, surnamed Lou, is an old astronaut. Although it is the first time to go to the space station, he has experience in a space capsule.
"It's okay, not very nervous."
Su Xiaofan smiled when he heard the words, he has the confidence to not be nervous, but these talents in front of him are worthy of respect, they are the ones who truly disregard life and death.
"Actually, the acceleration and weightlessness are a bit uncomfortable, and it will pass after a while."
Another astronaut surnamed Song smiled and said: "After entering outer space, the scenery is very beautiful. I promised my wife that I must take more pictures."
Su Xiaofan knew that this person was Song Xing. He had just married, and his wife was also an airline employee. Both of them delayed their marriage because of their careers, and they only got married in their thirties.
"Well, I have to take some photos for my daughter, and you all have to sign me later."
There is also an astronaut surnamed Han, whose child is in fifth grade. Su Xiaofan has seen photos of him and his daughter, and they look very similar.
"Let's take a photo together, the surveillance will be turned on later, Xiao Su won't be able to get in the shot."
The last astronaut is Pan Jie, who is also the deputy leader of the trip. The leader Lou is more serious, and Pan Jie is the lubricant among the team members.
"Okay, this is how we live and die together!" Song Xing took out his camera, and he was also responsible for recording the space mission.
In fact, except for Su Xiaofan, everyone has their own assigned tasks.
Some are doing scientific experiments, some are in charge of mechanical maintenance, and some are recording the operation of the space station. Basically, they are multi-tasking.
"For the country!" Su Xiaofan shouted the slogan, also paying tribute to these astronauts!
"For the country!"
Several people shouted at the same time, moved their bodies together, and left a photo of their faces with their oxygen masks on.
They are all people who have undergone long-term training and have done long-term psychological counseling, and their emotions are relatively stable.
After waiting in the cabin for more than an hour, the team leader Lou received a signal from outside and turned on the monitoring system in the cabin.
Su Xiaofan has already hid in the dead corner of the cabin monitor, showing his face to the people of the whole country, even though Su Xiaofan knows that his parents are waiting in front of the TV.
Actually, I don’t know about Su Weixuan and his wife. Today, Su Xiaoxiao, Jing Shizhen, Brother Gang and others all came out of Mangshan Paradise.
"Hey, why isn't there my brother?"
Su Xiaoxiao watched the astronauts being introduced one by one, but there was no brother, so she couldn't help feeling anxious.
"Xiao Fan is the one who got stuck, so it's probably not suitable to show up." Jing Shizhen said, but his eyes were also searching in the space capsule.
"Look at my brother, he's so messed up that he's going to go to space."
Brother Gang is very proud of Su Xiaofan, the only pity is that Su Xiaofan doesn't let himself and his old buddies brag, and loses a chance to pretend to be aggressive.
"Be sure to be safe." Mo Zixuan watched TV, feeling a little nervous.
Amid the blessings of countless people, the rocket started to ignite in the early hours of the morning.
With a burst of flames and a huge roar, the manned rocket rose into the air and continued to accelerate.
After only a few tens of seconds, the rocket entered the atmosphere, but the few people in the cabin were not affected, but were fixed in their seats.
"Well, how can there be a feeling of heart palpitations?"
Although he was in the cabin of the manned spaceship, Su Xiaofan still felt a little jittery, as if there was an eye staring at him in the atmosphere.
That invisible eye seemed to penetrate the cabin, determining Su Xiaofan's identity. It seemed that a subtle fluctuation swept across Su Xiaofan's body, and he took it back when he didn't find anything.
"Is it difficult for Jindan cultivators to fly into space even in a manned spaceship?"
Su Xiaofan had a feeling in his heart that if he still cultivated the golden core, he might be discovered when passing through the atmosphere.
Su Xiaofan didn't know what would happen to the cultivators after they were discovered, but according to Su Xiaofan's judgment, the people who imprisoned the cultivators on Earth didn't seem to want them to come into contact with space civilizations.
If there are cultivators who take the spaceship, they may be directly wiped out by the mysterious power.
"Am I the ascension to heaven that the ancients said?"
Su Xiaofan restrained his thoughts, maybe he no longer had the signs of a cultivator on his body, and that wave of fluctuations seemed to be of little interest to him.
The time from when the rocket enters the atmosphere to when it exits is actually very short.
A few minutes later, the rocket exited the atmosphere, and an extremely magnificent planetary scene appeared outside the cabin.
"That's Earth!"
Everyone looked out through the porthole.
A blue planet that seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil, but with flashing lights, appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The beautiful and shocking scene is hard to describe in words. Looking at the home they live in, everyone has an indescribable touch in their hearts.
In about ten minutes, the booster rocket and the cabin separated, sending the manned spacecraft into the predetermined space orbit.
After entering space orbit, there was a burst of cheers from the launch site on the ground, and the most dangerous time has passed.
After a few hours, the docking of the manned spacecraft and the space station can be completed, and this launch operation can be a complete success.
Several people in the spaceship are interacting with the ground command at this time, only Su Xiaofan hides aside, silently feeling the scene of the universe.
"This protective suit and space capsule actually have the effect of isolating cosmic energy?"
Su Xiaofan found that he was in the cabin, but he couldn't sense any energy outside.
But after thinking about it, Su Xiaofan understood.
If space suits and space capsules do not have this function, then who stays in them can survive cosmic rays?
Su Xiaofan is not in a hurry. This time he will live in the space station for more than half a year. He has many opportunities to go out and try to absorb space energy.
As time went by, the rest of the astronauts lost their initial excitement and began to pay attention to various indicators in the cabin.
and the launch base were not connected all the time. After more than an hour, the connection was temporarily closed.
"Xiao Su, are you okay?"
Pan Jie looked at Su Xiaofan with concern. During the live broadcast just now, there was no way to turn the camera to Su Xiaofan or talk to him.
Pan Jie and the others knew about Su Xiaofan's identity as a cultivator, and they all felt that Su Xiaofan was very mysterious.
Now that the aura is recovering, even scientists and astronauts have a little understanding of practitioners.
But their understanding is relatively superficial, and they just think that practitioners can strengthen their bodies through practice, but they don't know anything about the strength of practitioners.
Su Xiaofan joined their space program. Although he didn't show the strength of a cultivator, his amazing learning ability shrouded himself in a veil of mystery.
"Brother Pan, I'm fine. If you need help, just call me."
Su Xiaofan said with a smile: "I'm not good at anything else, it's okay to help you guys, you guys, don't be polite to me."
Su Xiaofan doesn't know anything about the principle and structure of spaceships, but with his strong memory, he is good at practical operations, and he can handle one or two things when there is a shortage of manpower.
"It doesn't work, it's running on the established track now, and we don't need to operate it."
Pan Jie looked at Su Xiaofan curiously, "Xiao Su, I know everyone has signed a non-disclosure agreement, it's not that I want to inquire about your secrets, but what is your mission to the space station, can you tell everyone about it?"
Pan Jie was afraid that Su Xiaofan might misunderstand, and explained: "You also know that I am responsible for the daily management, and I will cooperate with you in whatever needs you have."
As soon as Pan Jie said this, the ears of the other people in the cabin immediately pricked up. Everyone is curious, and they are no exception.
"Brother Pan, do you believe in the saying that the end of science is theology?"
Su Xiaofan didn't know how to explain it to several people. After all, after he switched to the exercises, he was really changing from a human to a god.
Imprisonment, thoughts, emptiness, and words that follow the law, in the understanding of ordinary people, these should be the means of gods.
"I've heard this saying, but it's hard to believe."
Pan Jie heard the words and said: "We can sit in this spaceship, which is the power of science, but science is far from the end..."
"That's right, we have just stepped out of the earth, and it is only the first step to travel to the sea of stars."
The always serious Lou team leader also said, "Xiao Su, it's not that I'm old-fashioned, but no matter how powerful the cultivator is, he can't break out of space, right?"
"Yes, there are so many ancient myths, but there is no one who flew into space." Song Xing also interjected.
"Actually, there are." Su Xiaofan said quietly: "Isn't Chang'e flying to the moon? The ancients may have been to the moon thousands of years ago."
"That's a legend, just a myth."
Song Xing retorted: "In the myth, there is still the Jade Emperor in the heavens, but the facts prove that these do not exist."
"Brother Song, it's true, you just don't know it."
Su Xiaofan laughed wryly when he heard the words. In the eyes of the ancient people, the Paradise of Paradise, which he once visited, is like a heavenly existence.
"Really?" Song Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, but he still looked disapproving.
For these few people in the cabin, the cognition that has been fixed for decades will naturally not change because of Su Xiaofan's words.
"Before the technological civilization, there used to be a cultivator civilization, but due to some unknown reasons, the aura of the earth disappeared, leading to the end of the cultivator civilization..."
Being idle is also idle, Su Xiaofan simply popularized the history of cultivator civilization for several people. For this period of history, Su Xiaofan, who had accepted the inheritance of Dongtian, still has a relatively right to speak.
"It sounds like that, but the cultivator civilization still can't compare with the technological civilization."
The astronaut Han Guang who was in charge of the operation said with a smile: "At least we rely on technology to get out of the earth, but the cultivators can't do it. Without space suits, the cultivators can't survive in the universe."
"Brother Han, that's because your perception is wrong."
Su Xiaofan said: "I came up this time to do experiments, to see if practitioners can walk in space without protection."
Thinking that he is going out of the space station anyway, Su Xiaofan will give a few people a **** first, without the cooperation of a few people, he can't force open the space station and run out.
"What?" After hearing Su Xiaofan's words, several people in the cabin were startled.
They only knew that Su Xiaofan was a cultivator who had been forced in, but even the team leader didn't know that Su Xiaofan actually had such an experimental task.
"Xiao Su, you can't talk nonsense, I need to check with the base."
The team leader Lou was really frightened by Su Xiaofan, he was responsible for the safety of the team members, if something happened to Su Xiaofan, it would be his responsibility.
"Brother Lou, don't worry, let's talk about it when we get to the space station."
Su Xiaofan said: "And this kind of experiment is top-secret, you don't want to make public inquiries, just ask Minister Hua of the relevant department about it."
If there is a blame, it is natural to find someone to blame, and Hualong is the most suitable one, and Su Xiaofan believes that Hualong will help him cover the whole thing.
Moreover, it was originally in the national interest for practitioners to conduct spacewalk experiments.
Otherwise, a powerful cultivator like Su Xiaofan went into space, is it really for a space trip?
So although Su Xiaofan was a bit inclined to cut first and play later, with Hua Long's coordination, I believe the other big shots would also agree.
"Xiao Su, you are not allowed to have any activities that violate the regulations before I ask for instructions."
Leader Lou accepted Su Xiaofan's suggestion, but also warned Su Xiaofan very seriously.
This matter is really too big. I am afraid that even the other two countries that have gone out of space have not carried out this kind of experiment.
Of course, even if there is, as Su Xiaofan said, it should be a top-secret incident. Thinking of this, Team Leader Lou believed Su Xiaofan's words again.
Basically every once in a while, the cabin will connect with the base to report the situation of the spacecraft.
However, there is no live broadcast of this kind of connection, and a lot of data is top secret, and it is impossible for the public to know.
After more than six hours, the spacecraft finally moved to the established orbit, ready to connect with Huaxia's space station.
Everyone put on their aviation suits to deal with possible emergencies.
However, the connection went smoothly. After the two hatches were docked, the people on the spaceship could move into the space station.
As for the spacecraft, it will be temporarily shut down and stay here in the space station.
Wait until six months later, the astronauts on the space station will need to return to Earth with the help of a spacecraft.
After entering the space station, everyone immediately started to get busy.
The last group of astronauts on the space station have returned to Earth ahead of schedule, and the space station has not been stationed for a while.
Therefore, it is necessary to check the operation of various equipment. In outer space, a slight error may cause a catastrophe.
Su Xiaofan really doesn't understand this kind of professional knowledge, so if he doesn't make trouble, it will be the biggest help.
After five or six hours, everyone checked the operation of the entire space station, and then sent a report to the base.
Su Xiaofan behaved very honestly, he fixed himself quietly on the seat, Su Xiaofan who was seen by others was closing his eyes and recuperating.
In fact, Su Xiaofan's thoughts have already passed through the space station and entered the space.
Compared to Earth, Su Xiaofan's mind seems to be able to reach infinite distance.
In a single thought, Su Xiaofan was able to clearly see the pits and hollows on the surface of the moon that were hit by meteorites.
Su Xiaofan has a feeling that as long as he wants to, he can reach the moon in an instant.
This kind of thought shocked Su Xiaofan himself a lot, because he is in the space station now, if he really did that, maybe the space station would be knocked into a big hole by himself.
Resisting the urge to go to the moon, Su Xiaofan didn't try to use the planetary exercises for the same reason as above, Su Xiaofan was also afraid that something might happen that would endanger the safety of others.
The vast and mysterious cosmic starry sky brought Su Xiaofan a feeling of being at home, as if this should be the environment for practicing planetary exercises.
"Xiao Su, would you like something to eat?"
After a few hours of busy work, the rest of the people were a little exhausted. Activities in the space station are far more difficult than on the ground.
In the state of weightlessness, the habits of everyone's activities will change.
Walking with two legs does not exist, everyone moves with floating, so there are many handrails and seat belts in the space station, which are used to fix the body.
"No, Brother Lou, take a rest after eating, I will be on duty."
Su Xiaofan hasn’t moved since entering the space station, so he can’t just watch others work while he rests.
"Okay, don't worry about your matter, I will ask the base for instructions."
Lou team leader nodded upon hearing this, he still liked Su Xiaofan, a polite young man, and didn't want Su Xiaofan to do that kind of dangerous experiment.
In the 40 to 50 years of life experience of Team Leader Lou, it is impossible for a person to survive without oxygen.
The aerospace knowledge tells him that without the protection of a space suit, a person will soon become a mummy in the space environment.
So in order to protect Su Xiaofan, Team Leader Lou decided to go back and talk to Su Xiaofan to dispel his crazy idea.
