A-001 Test Flight
Chapter 230:A-001 Test Flight
The "ring orbit" is a large spacecraft runway installed outside Noah.Based on careful selection by the engineers, it is located slightly above the entire hull outside.
Because it can only be implemented after Noah is out of the sub-light of light, it is also a large-scale project that remains in the last.
According to the plan, its total length is about 40 kilometers, width and height of about 1.3 kilometers, it is a complete circular ring, and there are a large number of three-dimensional docking facilities on the top.The total area is 19.47 square kilometers!
In order to build this real behemoth, nearly 90 million tons of steel and cement were used, and various large spacecraft will be assembled in a circular orbit.
It’s not just a spaceship runway, it’s even a small factory!
It is because so much material is shipped out that the speed of Noah will be reduced so quickly...
It can effectively solve the problem of too small Noah's entrance and exit.From now on, a variety of large spacecraft above 30 meters will dock at the three-dimensional docking facilities attached to this orbit.
Because space is a gravity-free environment, the ring orbit uses electromagnetic force adsorption technology and superconducting magnetic levitation technology throughout the process.Each spacecraft also has corresponding supporting facilities in the design and production.
Today, it is the time for the military A001 spacecraft to test...
Yu Yifeng looked at the report from the military, and his heart was slightly nervous.
“This test flight is very dangerous.In particular, the Noah is still in a state of high-speed motion... the speed of 24km/s is not low.”
Xu Yunjin shook his head: "In theory, all the technology has matured, and the usual training is enough."When you are a soldier, there will always be some danger, if you are in danger, you will withdraw, what kind of soldier will you be?”
"We can't keep them too well protected, we have to take the risk!"
He opened his mouth and finally did not say anything to refute it.He looked at the report in his hand.
A pilot named Mette Beich will fly an A001-type spacecraft to complete the “all-manual pilot” test flight.
He is the best of all soldiers, both in terms of neuroreactivity and usual training.
Even though he said that in his mouth, his heart was still very nervous.For this high-speed vehicle, the spacecraft is very important for the technical, ability and psychological quality of the pilot.
Even its ultra-high speed has been somewhat beyond the human ability to respond to nerves.
The race is fast enough, right?The speed of up to three or four hundred kilometers per hour is a scumbage compared to the spacecraft!
The A001 spacecraft has a minimum speed of almost 1,000 kilometers per hour, or 300 meters per second, which is three or four times that of a racing car.
It's just the lowest speed!
The top speed can reach 300 km/s, and a second of the distance is equivalent to an hour of racing!
In particular, the process of landing is particularly difficult, more difficult than aerial refueling.Do not look at the width of the ring orbit is 1.3 kilometers, but the ultra-high speed relative to the spacecraft is nothing at all, as long as a little distraction for a second or two will kill!
Once the collision, the probability of death is 99.99 percent, and there is basically no survival such as skydiving.Even the moment of death, you have not yet reacted!
In order to reduce such accidents, the spacecraft usually uses unmanned means, and the computer controls the automatic landing.
Such automatic flight, in the previous dozens of unmanned tests, have achieved satisfactory results, its procedures have been quite perfect.
But the computer is not a one-size-fits-all, no one can guarantee that the computer will not go wrong, and no one knows whether there is a manual driving day.Therefore, it is necessary to perform a completely manual driving control test, just when the driverless system is completely broken, it needs to be taken over by humans.
“The action begins!”
Pilot Mehbek took a deep breath, and his mood was slightly more complicated, and he stepped on the ship.
The A001 has more than 500 passengers, but now he is alone in the cab, and everything requires him to drive manually.
Everything related, which has been simulated countless times over the years, is familiar with each step and can be done in his sleep... He is a little nervous, but he is not panicked.
He wears a pair of power armor that does not affect the flexibility of his fingers and the vision of his eyes.This is also the last means of life, there are a variety of life-saving equipment, if something really happens, you can increase the survival rate of a little bit, that is just a little bit.
Of course, he definitely doesn’t want this to be used.
Press the switch button, enter the voice password, and the spacecraft spews out a light blue ion flame and begins to accelerate forward.The electromagnetic force acceleration system unique to the ring runway is opened in an instant, which also produces a certain thrust for this spacecraft.
It’s all done under Noah’s surveillance system, and some drone equipment is also being tracked in the stars at any time.
Technology is no longer the first stage of the 21st century.At this moment, relying on the monitoring system, the image of the entire spacecraft was enlarged and displayed on Noah’s various screens.In order to cheer up and boost morale, this test flight will be broadcast live to the masses.
This is also a high-speed spacecraft developed by humans in the true sense!
Not only the official reporters, but also many civil society people also ran to the astronomical observation deck to carefully watch the entire test flight process, and live on the civil network.
“Gentlemen, as you can see, our Noah is moving at about 25 km/s.The A001 spacecraft will take off and land on this high-speed, moving large platform.This is very difficult.
Okay, it’s already flown, the particle engine is ejecting a light blue flame, the velocity is accelerating, the visual acceleration is about 3 g, according to the formula s=(1/2) at^2... about 31 seconds... Ah, it has gone out of the ring orbit and into space!”
“This is an ace pilot in the military, the current comprehensive score is number one, and he was also a senior pilot during the Earth period... Yes, his name is Mitt Beich.”Let’s always remember that name!”
This is a middle-age journalist.His speech is very fast, in a short time can spit out a lot of words, and full of passion, can mobilize people's morale.Of course, the premise is that this flight is really successful.
"All right!It has successfully entered space, and the flight speed is still accelerating under the impetus of the ion engine, and the current speed is about 25.6km/s.According to the plan, the speed will be reversed at about 50 km / s.After all, we just want to test the safety of manual driving, not to challenge the limits of the spacecraft.
“Well, the whole process takes about one to two hours.This smooth driving should not be too risky.Don't go away, Captain Zhao Yao from the Ministry of Safety reveals to you: the specific performance of the new spacecraft A001..."
At this moment in the captain's room, Yu Yifeng and others are staring closely at the screen.Many scientists are analyzing the data to see if there was anything wrong, whether there was a potential risk and so on.
If there is an uncontrollable factor, the pilot must be reminded of the first time and even ordered to abandon the ship to escape.After all, the power A on the body has a certain survival function, which can persist to people's rescue...
“How?”Ask the first time.
“Everything is normal!”The leader said with a little ease.
Everything is normal, it is the result of meeting the expected!
Seeing Zhao Yaoyan on the TV with a black face, he was reading the manuscript with a grin, and he looked up at Yi Feng with some surprise.He asked, “How could it be him?How can Zhao Yao be interviewed by a TV station?”
But he said without lifting his head, “I let him go.”The written test results are better than the soldiers at hand, and they have to constantly complain to me... it is better to go to the TV station to explain!”
