Chapter 891: Born for Interstellar Voyage
This is true of the fighting nations, who respect the strong.
In the face of Orvis's praise, Du Xiaosheng smiled slightly and said seriously: "The gravity of 11G is nothing, we should have the spirit of John Stap." ”
I don't know when, the surrounding area gradually resounded with sparse applause, and then, the entire space city training hall resounded with thunderous applause.
When it comes to John Stap, his achievements have awe-inspiring astronauts and pilots around the world.
As a military doctor, he used his body to make outstanding contributions to the study of negative acceleration in the human body.
He is the fastest man in the world, the fastest in the truest sense of the word, having used four rocket boosters with about 6,000 pounds of thrust to accelerate his "mount" to the point where the human body can only withstand a negative acceleration of 35 Gs (about 340 m/s) and 632 mph faster than a bullet.
Not only that, but Dr. Stapp also set the record for the fastest acceleration and stop ever recorded: 46.2G.
This is equivalent to 4 times the hypergravity that Du Xiaosheng resisted during training.
At that time, in order to study the pilot's ability to withstand strong air currents due to windshield damage during high-speed flight, Stapp sat on a windless rocket skid to conduct tests, and the results showed that the high-speed air flow did not harm the pilot at 917 km/h in near-ground flight.
As a result, he suffered a variety of injuries, including multiple fractures of ribs and limbs, retinal detachment, multiple bursts of blood vessels, and complex multi-organ damage.
It is precisely because of so many research results that Stamp's experiments have had an important impact on the flight seats, anti-load suits, and seat belts of later pilots.
However, this does not mean that Stapp is more physically fit than Du Xiaosheng, because the experimental training done by the two people is completely different.
What Stapp did was a test of the maximum impact that a human being could withstand in a straight line in a regular direction.
Du Xiaosheng is to cope with the complex weightless environment of the universe and make irregular impact resistance training.
The former, after all, is a traceable acceleration that is well prepared in advance, and the main impact force faced by this horizontal gravity acceleration limit comes from horizontal acceleration, while the latter has to fight against strong gravity and the tolerance to gravity that may come from all directions.
……
Since completing the manned centrifuge training, Du Xiaosheng and Zhao Yunhan have begun extremely intense and intensive astronaut training.
Zhao Yunhan mainly completed physical enhancement and training, while Du Xiaosheng's focus was on flying spaceships and engineering maintenance.
More than half a month has passed since the intense and close training and study in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Du Xiaosheng kissed Zhao Yunhan's forehead and asked with a smile, "What kind of training is today?" ”
Zhao Yunhan replied fluently while tying the shoulder straps: "In the morning, the underwater entry and exit contact will be carried out, and in the afternoon it should be a test of weightlessness and adaptability after returning, and in the evening, it will mainly be psychological counseling, what about you?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yunhan's words, Du Xiaosheng sighed and said: "Alas, it's good that you don't have to take a theoretical class, my space medicine and space engineering maintenance have already passed, and today I will take the cabin driving practice, as well as star mapping." ”
Zhao Yunhan smiled when he heard this: "Then you have to take the test well, except for the practical operation of cabin pilot, these subjects are full marks." ”
Du Xiaosheng's eyes widened, although he knew that Zhao Yunhan was already a fellow of the Interstellar Exploration Academy recognized by NASA, but he never expected that she would have exaggerated full marks in these subjects.
"You can be a teacher at your level, right?" Du Xiaosheng asked a little shocked.
Patting Du Xiaosheng's salty pig hands, Zhao Yunhan said: "Don't be poor, we will have to fight for the qualification to enter the isolation cabin training after a while, I have been under a lot of pressure recently." ”
Zhao Yunhan originally complained to Du Xiaosheng that his weightlessness adaptation training performance was not ideal, but unexpectedly, Du Xiaosheng actually said with a smile: "Really? Hahaha, when we get to the isolation cabin training, can we eat and sleep together in a weightless environment? ”
“????” Zhao Yunhan was a little speechless.
Separated from home, Du Xiaosheng came to the core part of the space city early, the space extravehicular operation training base.
At this time, standing under the camera, Du Xiaosheng sorted out his clothes, turned on the camera with a smile, and prepared for a new day's live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, welcome to "Interstellar Adventure", I am Du Xiaosheng from Huaguo."
"I've done the most dangerous extreme challenges around the world – Ozaki Bathon; also used to be in the rainforest, alone in the lair of a real drug lord; He also worked as a bounty hunter and arrested the world's largest underground leader. ”
"In the next time, I will show you how to become a real cosmic explorer, take a spaceship, and explore the truly unknown sea of stars."
"During this period, I will show you the whole process from the training before landing in space to the implementation through live broadcast!"
At this time, the fans waiting in front of Du Xiaosheng's live broadcast room have reached tens of millions, and every word that Du Ye said, the screen is full of the words 'cow batch' brushed out by netizens from all over the world.
"The challenges on earth can no longer satisfy Du Ye."
"Du Ye, the tentacle old monster, has extended his claws to the mysterious space realm."
"Niu Pi, it's just an opening sentence, and I've listened to it with enthusiasm."
"Aren't these things Du Xiaosheng doing making movies? I don't believe there are such fierce people. ”
"The one upstairs who said it was fake, if he couldn't do it, he would say that no one could do it, and he wouldn't watch the world news?! Orphan? ”
……
In the messy barrage swiping screen, Du Xiaosheng has long been used to it.
No language can affect Du Xiaosheng's live shooting, he smiled and focused the camera behind him, and continued to introduce with a smile:
"You see, behind me is the Moth Country and even all mankind, the most advanced space training equipment in the aerospace field, and the most confidential part of the entire Space City, which belongs to the military's S-level protection secrets, and is one of the training venues where Du Xiaosheng signed an agreement and cannot broadcast live."
Hearing Du Xiaosheng's words, fans shouted: "?!" Du Ye, you are playing with fire! ”
"To die?"
Du Xiaosheng saw that the barrage was about to gradually explode, and he immediately smiled and said, "Haha, just kidding...... It is indeed the most classified space training equipment, but it is not the most advanced anymore, and of course, it is the first time that it has appeared in any program for the whole world, absolutely first-hand. ”
While speaking, Du Xiaosheng had already come to the training ground, and he said with a smile: "I have communicated with the space city yesterday, and today I am going to give you a live broadcast of the real wearing method of the spacesuit, and under the gravity of the earth, the spacesuit weighing 120 kilograms, that is, 240 kilograms, is completed." ”
Du Xiaosheng pointed to a set of spacesuits stored in the science and technology cabin, and continued: "The set of spacesuits in front of me is worth 7 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 30 million yuan. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the arm of the spacesuit, shook it and said, "Some people may ask, 240 pounds weighs almost twice the weight of the human body, can such bulky joints be flexible?" You see, these limbs are equipped with adjustment straps, by adjusting the length of the upper arm, lower arm and lower limbs, people with a height of 1.60 meters to 1.80 meters can wear it, and there is a small mirror on the wrist, through which astronauts can check various switches on their bodies at any time. ”
"To be honest, before I wore this thing, I always thought that this outfit would just be put on, after all, I was a big fan of the sci-fi blockbuster 'Gravity,' in which Sandra Bullock played an astronaut wearing only a tight tank top and shorts when she took off her EMU spacesuit."
While speaking, Du Xiaosheng picked up the strong diapers and sighed and said: "I haven't acted in the movie at all, the first step in wearing a spacesuit is actually to wear a strong diaper." No way, this thing is your waste management system, and you can only wear underwear if you wear it. ”
Du Xiaosheng's introduction was very humorous, and the fans who watched it laughed from time to time.
In fact, for them, everyone has a space dream in their hearts.
Being able to really see the preparations before landing in space through the form of live broadcast made fans feel interested.
Seeing that Du Xiaosheng put on a liquid-cooled and ventilated suit in turn, put on a bioelectronic linkage device, applied anti-fog cream to the helmet window, installed a small reflector on the wrist of the left sleeve of the costume, installed a small food bag and a drinking bag on the chest in front of the upper body of the costume, and installed lights and TV cameras on the helmet, Du Xiaosheng began to wear the lower body of the costume.
"After putting on my boots and pants, I had to insert the cooling umbilical tube from the airlock into the interface of the display control box on the chest of the suit."
"This thing supplies cooling water, oxygen, and electricity to the suit, and if they are put on and fastened in a closed seal, they can wear a communication cap, helmet, and gloves. I must say that with this stuff, I can't breathe the outside air, but through the umbilical cord the oxygen provided from the Space Shuttle orbiter. ”
When the huge round-hooded helmet with a good field of vision was on the top of Du Xiaosheng's head, Du Xiaosheng's voice suddenly became a little muffled, and Du Xiaosheng did not introduce the pressurization process in detail, he just focused on testing it to ensure that the clothing did not leak, and whether the internal pressure, gas flow, cooling water and battery power were normal.
Du Xiaosheng has begun to breathe pure oxygen and use oxygen to excrete nitrogen, the purpose of which is to remove nitrogen from the body to prevent decompression sickness.
After doing all this quickly, Du Xiaosheng wore a heavy spacesuit and said with a smile: "Okay, now I want to close the inner hatch of the airlock cabin and decompress the airlock cabin."
When the pressure in the airlock drops to zero, I can open the outer hatch of the airlock, disconnect the suit from all connections to the airlock, hook the hook of the seat belt to the fixed pole outside the cabin, and go out of the cabin for a spacewalk. ”
With the rotation of the camera, fans all over the world saw the shocking scene in the space city.
This is an incomparably huge and magnificent space station, through the transparent thickened tempered shield, the audience can clearly see that in the pitch-black huge space, in the artificially created vacuum environment, all the emergencies that may occur in space are simulated.
Pointing to the simulated cosmic environment outside, Du Xiaosheng, who was wearing a protective shield, said to the live broadcast equipment: "The environment inside simulates the conditions in the real universe to the greatest extent, such as the vacuum environment and ultra-low temperature, but it is impossible to completely simulate it, the situation in the universe is too changeable."
In real outer space, cosmic radiation from the outside world and terrifying micrometeors are definitely the last nightmare you want to encounter. ”
Hearing Du Xiaosheng's words, many sailors watching the live broadcast couldn't help but have some doubts, not all of them have a full understanding of aerospace knowledge, and most people's understanding of them is still stuck in some scenes in science fiction movies.
"Anchor, what's a micrometeoroid?"
"First heard of this...... Literally, a particularly small meteor? ”
The advantage of the live broadcast is that Du Xiaosheng can interact with fans at any time, Du Xiaosheng is naturally willing to answer, he introduced with a smile:
"Micrometeoroids are very small, they come from fragments of rock or larger fragments, typically metals, and are usually produced at the time of the formation of the solar system. In space, especially in the vicinity of the Earth, micrometeoroids are common.
These tiny cosmic dusts tend to fly quickly along the orbit, and although they are small in size, they can still cause immeasurable damage to the spacecraft when they are in large numbers, and high-speed impacts will cause sandblasting effects on the outer shell of the spacecraft.
It is precisely because of the large number of these meteorites in the universe that there is a lot of uncertainty in our exploration of the universe. ”
Du Xiaosheng explained, while taking the robotic arm and necessary repair tools, and drifted to the quiet 'space' to carry out the repair work of the spacecraft.
In outer space, every astronaut is an engineering expert who is proficient in the structure of the spacecraft and can complete the repair work.
Although today is the first time that Du Xiaosheng has completed the assessment outside the cabin autonomously, in the eyes of outsiders, the unfamiliar space environment and the difficult to control mechanical arm, in Du Xiaosheng's hands, are as skilled as a space pirate ship crew member who has been adrift in the stars and has been wandering for decades.
In the command cabin, the experts who were responsible for watching Du Xiaosheng's extravehicular operations couldn't help but sigh: "Du Xiaosheng was simply born for interstellar navigation. ”
Hearing the expert's praise, the biologist who was familiar with Du Xiaosheng who had studied his body for a whole year said with a complicated expression: "Not only you, but anyone in any line of work has this feeling when they see Du Xiaosheng.
In this world, there has never been a shortage of geniuses, and the most terrifying thing is people like Du Xiaosheng, who is not only talented, but also studies hard. ”
The words of the biological expert made the people around him sigh, but this was not over, and Ovis said bitterly on the side: "What's even more terrifying is that not only him, but even his wife is also extremely smart and extremely hard-working, I really can't be like two people like this, their children grow up, how terrifying will it be?" ”
"Don't say it, people can't be compared with each other......"
"I'm starting to look forward to it, this interstellar journey will probably be more exciting than we imagined."
