Chapter 201 National Astronaut Training Center
Li Wei didn't know the reaction from the Free Federation.
Of course, even if you know, you won’t react, because it’s not necessary.
He is now accompanying people from the National Space Administration to visit the Practical Science and Technology Space Center.
What experts and leaders from the Space Administration want to see the most is the aerospace plane, and Li Wei did not stop it. Anyway, it was a technical verification aircraft that cooperated with the Science and Technology Alliance, and many engineers and technicians were supported by other units.
After all, his small aerospace company has just been established for not long, and if he really developed by himself, it would definitely not be so fast.
When Li Wei proposed the plan for a space flight, many leaders and experts were still worried, but they did not expect that this kid would really make it.
"Awesome, young people nowadays are really dissatisfied with it."
"Yes, but that's all right, it means Fanxing is getting more and more powerful."
"Haha, that's for sure. It is said that the airplane flies very smoothly. I wonder if my old bone has the chance to go around in space?"
"It should be. I have seen the original design indicators. It can be said that they are quite stable. If they have good physical conditions, they can go to space at the age of 80."
"Good guy, really?"
"Of course it's true. What I'm lying to you. Don't forget that I'm two years older than you. I'm 76 this year. I think I definitely have a chance."
"Okay, OK, so good. I've been studying rockets for a lifetime, and finally got the chance to go to space to see..."
Just as a group of old experts were boldly imagining, Li Wei had already pulled Director Yang from the manned space engineering office who was also fascinated by the sight.
"Director Yang, our space center is about to be completed, and the technical prototypes of the space plane are almost manufactured, but there is no professional astronaut, and there are no relevant staff for manned flights."
"We can recruit people from schools and at home and abroad for training, but some veterans in related majors belong to the country. What we discussed last time should be fulfilled?"
Hearing Li Wei's question, Director Yang pondered for a moment and said, "This is fine. The top has agreed to the meeting. And all you want are retired astronauts. I personally thank you very much for realizing their dream of flying."
"But is time enough about training commercial astronauts? After all, according to our method, training is calculated in years."
Li Wei said after hearing this: "You don't have to worry about this. You have also seen the design standards of the aerospace plane. Its intelligence is very, very high. It is said that it requires astronauts, but in fact it requires passengers. Then, it always brings new people to the sky so that they can give some guidance to the new people."
"Now many technologies are very advanced, which means that some training steps are no longer needed, so it doesn't matter if you skip them."
"You are sure that the astronauts trained in this way can go to heaven. Are you kidding?" Director Yang asked seriously: "One bad thing is that it will not only cause human death, but also cause big problems!"
Looking at the spacecraft technology verification aircraft in front of him, Li Wei said seriously: "Of course I know this, and I never joke about life. I just have confidence in my technology, and we have new learning equipment, which can greatly shorten the learning time."
Director Yang shook his head and said, "I can't agree to you immediately. Your technology is indeed very advanced. I agree with this, but this is manned space after all, and it is about to enter space. We have to find time to discuss it carefully."
"Of course, I will lead a team to the National Space Administration in person."
Although Li Future is very confident in his technology, he is also very rigorous in his work. Just as Director Yang said, this is manned space flight, which is a very serious matter!
So he quickly took people to the National Space Administration.
And they were naturally Director Yang.
This is the first time Li Wei has come to this place. Although he has seen rocket launches in various places before and has also been to some rocket system research institutes, this is the first time he has come to this place in the National Space Administration.
"Director Yang, please take me to see the astronaut scientific research and training center? Practical technology has joined the aerospace field, and my curiosity accounts for a certain proportion."
Li Wei looked at the environment here, with a little excitement in his tone.
"No problem, I like space, I like flying very much, so I became the first person in our country to enter space, hahaha."
Director Yang said with a smile.
Then he made a gesture of invitation to Li Wei, pointed to an electric car next to him and said, "Come on, Mr. Li, let's take the electric car, I'll introduce it to you."
"Okay, I can finally unveil the mystery here."
Li Wei said as he got into the car.
"I don't know how many documentaries I've made," Director Yang shook his head and said.
The National Space Administration's astronaut training center is located in the aerospace city in the northwest suburbs of the capital. Such places can only be built in the suburbs.
The area here covers a very large area, and more than ten large-scale ground training and testing facilities have been built, including aerospace flight simulators, weightless sinks, extra-cabin space suit test chambers and space station combination simulators.
Although many documentaries and news interviews have been shown here, there are only a lot of documentaries that can be filmed, so I still feel mysterious everywhere when I really come here.
Just like seeing a certain place in a cartoon or film and television drama, and then actually going to a certain place, it is comparable to a "holy land tour".
Today, Li Wei will have a good time here.
The building area of each hall here is very large, with hundreds of square meters of hall hanging huge photos of more than a dozen astronauts who have performed space missions hanging on the walls around the hall.
He also met the mission simulator here, as well as centrifuges, swing chairs, low pressure chambers, etc., and everything related to aerospace equipment is available here.
Director Yang introduced Li Wei with a trace of memory to the mission simulator, which is the training equipment used to simulate the entire process of the spacecraft from launch to return to landing and various emergency states. Its function is equivalent to the trainer plane of the aircraft pilot.
It's just that it can't fly, it's fixed on the ground.
Although its appearance really has nothing to do with the spaceship in people's impression, at most it is an escape pod, but in this era, it is called a "spaceship".
It has a ratio of 1:1 to the "spaceship" that the astronauts ride on, and the shape of the cone is exactly the same as all internal equipment.
This "spaceship" is placed upright and completely simulates the launch status, so the astronauts are half lying inside.
Director Yang also took Li Wei to lie in it, and then talked about his own special memory that was not found in the "attractions".
It was indeed not easy when the Starry Astronauts brigade was first established and the manned space mission was just launched.
Later, with the development of technology, VR technology was used in training equipment. Astronauts had to be equipped with VR helmets when training. VR technology could make up for the lack of visual display capabilities of large-scale equipment on the ground. It could customize scenes at will, and the effect was more realistic.
This technology can even be used to set up some unsimulated faults in the solid model, such as ignition directly blowing up the entire "spaceship".
In actual training... that's something that can never be a hit.
However, after reading this, Li Wei talked about the new technology he prepared, which is what he mentioned earlier that "greatly shortens learning time".
Director Yang was shocked when he heard this.
"Is there such a thing really?"
