Advanced Players in Arc

"Director Wang, look, why don't you just make a trip and ask someone to take me to the dormitory?" Dong Chen shook hands with Wang Iwen.

"Haha, isn't this the way it should be?" Seeing that the receptionist had led the 10 astronaut candidates away, Wang Wowen held Dong Chen's hand and whispered to him, "Chairman Dong Chen, In fact, the funds for our space industry are also tight. Even though the funds are increasing every year, and there will be profits from military-civilian integration, the funds are never enough."

"That's for sure. I'm also a technician. I understand this completely. The funds will definitely never be enough." Dong Chen nodded in agreement. "Especially for aerospace research like yours, oh, and our future aerospace research, it's even more hopeless."

"Yes, and due to the special nature of our aerospace group, this source of funds can only have so many lines. It's just that I didn't expect that the country suddenly took such a big step, which reduced our burden so much, and we also have "Brother units of private enterprises," he turned to look at Dong Chen and said, "Chairman Dong Chen, you are really brave. You have invested much more than us. Maybe this aerospace plane project will eventually reach our launch vehicle." It’s in front.”

Hearing what he said, Dong Chen waved his hands and said, "Well...hey, aren't we also optimistic about the dividends of the space age?"

"Really, the earth is too small. The future can only be in the universe. It will definitely be beneficial to join in earlier. The aerospace technology in Western countries is so advanced now because they started early."

"Moreover, no matter how courageous we are, we cannot do without your support, right? Aren't we still asking you to help train astronauts? Mutual benefit, common progress, and unity are the only strength."

"Haha, Chairman Dong Chen, no wonder he has such a big career at such a young age. There must be a reason," Wang Wo said with a smile.

"Hey, this company is so big and it really has nothing to do with me. It's because I have a good CEO. I only care about technology. If I were to manage the company, then we probably wouldn't have met today." Dong Chen pointed out He said mockingly to himself.

After finishing speaking, before Director Wang could say anything else, Dong Chen looked around, "Director Wang, how about... take me to see this training center? We want to join the aerospace industry ourselves, and my curiosity has taken over a lot. Proportional.”

"Okay, no problem. It's good if you like aerospace. I just liked space when I was a kid. Isn't this what I'm here to do?"

Wang Wowen made an invitation gesture to Dong Chen, pointed to a battery car next to him and said, "Come on, Chairman Dong Chen, come this way, let's take the battery car. Let me introduce our training center." , so as to understand some of our strength."

"Okay, I can finally see the mystery here," Dong Chen said as he followed him to the car.

"Mysterious or not, I don't know how many documentaries have been filmed," Wang Wowen shook his head and said, "Xiao Liu, drive, let's go to Building 1 first."

"Okay, Director Wang."

The Chinese Astronaut Training Center is located in the Space City in the northwest suburbs of the capital. Such a place can only be built in the suburbs.

Except for the legendary "swimming pool is particularly good" and "the venue is particularly open and suitable for driving practice," everything here is mysterious.

The Chinese Astronaut Training Center is located in a corner of this huge space city.

Although many documentaries about China's aerospace industry have recorded here, only how many documentaries can be filmed.

That alone can't stop people from being curious about this place.

Dong Chen had a good time wandering around here today.

Each hall here has a large construction area. On the walls around the hundreds of square meters of the hall, huge photos of the dozen astronauts who flew into space and some blank frames are hung, which are reserved for future astronauts. of.

Dong Chen also saw the mission simulator here, as well as centrifuges, swing chairs, low-pressure chambers, etc. All aerospace-related equipment is available here.

Director Wang also proudly introduced the mission simulator to Dong Chen, which is a training equipment used to simulate the entire process of a spacecraft from launch to return and landing and various emergency situations. It functions as a training aircraft for pilots.

It's just that it can't fly and is fixed to the ground.

Although its appearance has nothing to do with the spaceship in our impression, it is at most an escape capsule.

But in this day and age, it's just called a "ship."

It has a 1:1 ratio with the "spacecraft" that the astronauts ride on. The shape of the cone and all the equipment inside are exactly the same.

This "spaceship" is placed upright, completely simulating a launch state, so the astronauts are half-lying inside.

And a VR helmet must be equipped during training. VR technology can make up for the lack of spatial visual display capabilities of large ground equipment. It can customize the scene arbitrarily and the effect is more realistic.

In addition, VR technology can set up some failures that cannot be simulated, such as igniting a fire and directly blowing up the entire "spaceship". In reality, it can't be blown up.

However, although Dong Chen was a little helpless about Director Wang's pride, he had to remind him that the simulator would not be used in this mission because they would be flying on an aerospace plane in the future.

In fact, Dong Chen regretted it after being reminded of it. This clause had already been written into the terms. Director Wang must have known it, but Dong Chen was really mean-mouthed for a while, and he was young.

Subsequently, these 10 astronaut candidates were put into intense training. However, due to the different purposes of cultivating them here at Arc Light, many projects were omitted based on the actual situation.

However, some basic and common things still need to be learned.

For example, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, geophysics, meteorology, astronomy, astrophysics and astronautics, and even basic theories such as psychology.

These are the basics. No matter what kind of spacecraft you fly into the sky, you need to learn these.

For specific flight missions, you also need to study the planned mission statement, master the details of each mission, and master the knowledge and techniques for performing special missions, such as extravehicular walking, spacecraft rendezvous and docking, and moon landing. Relevant knowledge, etc.

This is what Dong Chen and the others urgently need. According to their plan, there may be a space walk for the first time, and a moon landing for the second time.

In addition, in order to deal with common space diseases, they also need to learn some medical and aerospace medicine knowledge and simple space medical technology.

Although after Arc Light Aerospace gets on the right track, the team will be specially equipped with such personnel, but there is still something to learn.

Originally, it should also include the design principles and structural performance of rockets and spacecraft, navigation control of spacecraft, functions and operation, maintenance and repair technology of various instruments and equipment in the cockpit, as well as technical knowledge of communications, photography, etc.

However, the spacecraft they are going to take has changed, so these will be removed now. These things will have to be learned after returning to the Arc Light Space Center.

There is another thing that Dong Chen learned during the training, which is something that laymen like them, who build the space center first and then recruit people, ignore it, and that is logistics.

This is a top priority.

The aerospace industry is not just a matter of a few astronauts. The reason why it can only be played by big countries is because of its logistics and everything on the ground, including environmental control and life support, space suits, space food, etc. , which is enough to drag down a series of things in an average small country.

This forced Dong Chen to urgently gather the rudimentary aerospace-related personnel and Sun Hao to find some managers to form a rudimentary space center operations team.

Then he urgently discussed it with his superiors, paid the tuition, and brought them all over to study together.

The training center is quite busy now. Although they have taken over various tasks, they have never received such a task.

But no matter what, time passed by and the space base was basically completed.

Second update completed. I have a fairy-like look on my face. Fortunately, today is already a day off...
