Imperial Capital, Astronaut Secret Training Base.
Lin Xian looked at Chu Anqing, who unexpectedly showed up here, then turned to stare at Huang Que with furrowed brows:
“You said you’d find another team mber, why is it An Qing?”
“Why can’t it be An Qing?”
Huang Que crossed her arms and looked at Lin Xian:
“If we really talk about adaptability to space operations, Chu Anqing, with her dance major and long-term training, is actually much more suitable than you guys who’ve had absolutely no related training.
Especially Gao Yang…”
She looked down at Gao Yang’s shirt, which was almost bursting at the buttons, and his beer belly that seed ready to explode:
“I’m quite worried whether you can withstand the acceleration of a rocket launch; I always feel like you could vomit enough to fill the entire cabin.”
“That’s impossible!”
Gao Yang confidently waved a big hand:
“This belly of mine is a one-way Qiankun bag; nothing that goes in cos back out!
I’ve never once thrown up from drinking all these years!
No way I’m letting anything I eat co back up!”
Wei Cheng smiled at Gao Yang:
“Having that kind of attitude is even better.
In truth, simply riding a rocket into space, without leaving the cabin, isn’t as dangerous as everyone imagines.
...
It’s mainly due to technological advancents.
Rockets these days, whether in terms of attitude control or acceleration, are very stable, and after ‘gravity overloading adaptation training,’ it’s no big issue for a healthy person to go to space.”
“Previously, the world’s richest man, Jask, sent four ordinary people on a space trip.
They were much older than you and adapted after just a few weeks of training.
The gravity overload caused by rocket acceleration, albeit sounding scary, is just about 4 G’s.”
“What’s the concept of 4 G’s?
So of the more thrilling roller coasters in amusent parks can reach 4 G’s during their most exhilarating monts.
When you compare it like that, it doesn’t seem so frightening, right?
Moreover, the gravity overload from rocket acceleration is very smooth, making it much easier to adapt to.
That’s why I say…
Compared to physical fitness, what Gao Yang has—the relaxed mindset—is what’s most needed.”
“Of course, physical fitness is still the most basic requirent.
You still must do the gravity overloading adaptation training.
I’m only saying this so you don’t get too tense.
Even for ordinary people, this isn’t a very difficult task; throughout history, cats and dogs have gone to space, and the adaptability and learning ability of humans are even greater.”
…
Brother Wei Cheng, as the pilot of the Skyspace Aircraft for this mission, and the main coach for the past two months, was very professional indeed.
Lin Xian understood as well.
Wei Cheng said this to boost everyone’s morale, so they wouldn’t get cold feet before training even started.
Unlike regular spacecraft launches that reach orbit and then fall back to Earth,
the Skyspace Aircraft’s landing skips the descent through the atmosphere.
That phase…
Is the real test of an astronaut’s physical fitness.
Unlike the steady 4 G acceleration when a rocket ascends, the acceleration overload that occurs when a spacecraft’s return module enters the atmosphere can reach 6 G, 8 G, or even more than 10 G.
But Lin Xian and the others need not worry about this problem.
The Skyspace Aircraft, with its own propulsion, would bring them back into the atmosphere smoothly and land at the airport.
That’s why big brother Wei Cheng said this Skyspace Aircraft trip was not dangerous.
As long as no accidents occurred, there would be no surprises.
But…
Even though Lin Xian understood this, he still couldn’t figure out why Huang Que had brought in Chu Anqing.
Obviously, many more suitable candidates were available than Chu Anqing, weren’t there?
Even from a standpoint of trust.
It had to be Chu Anqing?
He stepped forward, approaching Chu Anqing dressed in a training uniform of the astronaut base:
“You didn’t sneak out again, did you?”
“Not this ti!”
Chu Anqing took out a red-headed docunt from behind her and extended it towards Lin Xian:
“Ta-da~~ Look!
My dad has agreed!”
Lin Xian looked at the red-headed docunt.
Indeed…
Apart from the seals of various governnt departnts, it also bore Chu Shanhe’s signature and personal seal.
Quite strange.
When had this doting father beco so open-minded?
Or had Chu Shanhe really been so confident about space travel that he thought it was not dangerous?
“How did you persuade your dad?” Lin Xian asked.
“Ah…
it wasn’t easy…”
Chu Anqing sighed:
“After a long argunt, he finally agreed.
I gave him an irrefutable reason at the end, and only then did he let co!”
Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she said with a grin:
“Who made him Chu Shanhe?
A father like him can only raise a child like .
He should’ve been aware and prepared for this~”
“Alright, alright.” Huang Que clapped her hands, interrupting them:
“Stop chit-chatting, everyone fall back into the team.
I’ll explain the details of this ‘Skyspace Aircraft Alpha Matter Collection’ mission.”
…
Alpha matter refers to space-ti particles.
Huang Que was vague on purpose because Wei Cheng was present; she didn’t want this “outsider” to know their real plans.
Gao Yang and Chu Anqing would be inford of the truth just before the final mission began.
After all, they would all be together for the actual mission, while Wei Cheng would be focused on piloting the Skyspace Aircraft in the cockpit, not participating in the operations within the passenger and equipnt compartnts.
Lin Xian and Chu Anqing returned to the team, standing to the left of Gao Yang.
