For spacecraft simulation training.

After discussions by the Space Development Committee, they gave up the plan to train all-round astronauts. After all, human energy is limited. If you train all-round astronauts, not only will it take too long, but the cost-effectiveness will be too low.

In the near future, Dongtang will usher in an era of cosmic navigation and large-scale space operations. If we train all-round astronauts, not only will the training time be too long, but the number of astronauts will also be greatly reduced.

After many discussions and meetings, they finally decided to subdivide the astronaut major again, setting up sub-specialties such as drivers, maintenance personnel, outer space operators, communicators, doctors, logistics personnel, technicians, etc.

Ma Wu chose the profession of transport spacecraft pilot, while Liao Qingsong chose the profession of outer space operator.

These professional astronauts are necessary for a spacecraft. After all, the Space Development Committee plans to carry out long-term outer space colonization activities, and these standing astronauts are indispensable.

After being divided into majors again.

Ma Wu was participating in spacecraft pilot training while conducting anti-German training in the life-sustaining warehouse.

And Liao Qingsong is also trained in anti-German warfare and outer space operations.

A11 training area.

This is a one-to-one model of a Qinglong-class manned spacecraft. In fact, except that it cannot fly, all the configurations in this model are exactly the same as the real Qinglong-class.

Of course Ma Wu knew some basic data about the Qinglong-class manned projection spacecraft.

It is a regular hexagonal cylinder with a side length of 3 meters, a height of 12 meters, and a volume of 280 cubic meters. The weight of the spacecraft hull and equipment is 21 tons, and the fuel oxidizer totals 18 tons.

There are a total of 8 astronaut life-sustaining compartments, totaling 40 tons, and can carry about 21 tons of supplies.

However, he was very confused about this matter. After all, the Jianmu Project was now half-dead and unfinished. Why was the spacecraft they trained still a Qinglong-class manned spacecraft? He was puzzled by this matter.

Is the Qinglong-class manned spacecraft going to be transformed into a launch vehicle to be transported to outer space?

Suddenly a hand patted his shoulder. Ma Wu was startled. He turned around and found that it was Jiang Shui, another dormmate who also chose the driver major.

"What are you thinking about?"

"No, I'm just surprised why the Qinglong class is used as a simulation training object." Ma Wu said while familiarizing himself with the instruction manual of the Qinglong class.

"So that's the problem. I'm also full of questions." Jiang Shui was also familiar with the Qinglong class.

"Forget it, the Space Development Committee may have its own considerations, let's get familiar with it first!"

Jiang Shui nodded and said, "Maybe they plan to transform the Qinglong class into a launch vehicle model."

"Who knows." Ma Wu spread his hands.

However, several of them are quite interested in the Qinglong-class manned spacecraft.

Ma Wu looked at the Qinglong-class interior that looked like a future spaceship. It would be great if the mass projector had succeeded. It would be such a pity.

The simulated cockpit of the Qinglong class is in the third section of the cabin (it is the third level when it is upright), and the driver's life support cabin is in the second section of the cabin.

The first section of the cabin is the fuel and main engine, while the fourth section of the cabin and part of the third section of the cabin are the material warehouse.

The cab is not too big and can accommodate four people inside. However, according to the staffing settings of the Qinglong class, there are only three people in the cab, the driver, co-pilot, and correspondent. No one else is allowed to enter the cab at will. .

As future spacecraft pilots, Ma Wu and Jiang Shui are both familiar with those buttons and operating systems.

"What is this red button?" Jiang Shui asked while flipping through the manual.

Ma Wu looked at it and replied: "It's an emergency ejection button, which can activate the life-sustaining cabin to eject the spacecraft."

"What is the use of this thing? Can the life-sustaining chamber be used directly in outer space?" Jiang Shui asked speechlessly.

"Yes, the life-sustaining cabin itself is an escape cabin combined into one design. The life-sustaining device inside can maintain the human body's survival in outer space for about 60 hours." Ma Wu explained, pointing to the instruction manual.

"Even so, I don't think this thing is of much use. Unless there is cryonics technology that can allow people to be frozen in a life-sustaining chamber for several years, otherwise, in the vast and boundless space of the universe, the possibility of rescue and the possibility of rescue will be projected out. It's almost like a welfare lottery." Jiang Shui is not optimistic about this escape cabin design.

"At least near low-Earth orbit, this thing is quite useful. It's better than nothing." Ma Wu said with a smile.

Several people were talking and referring to the instructions. The Qinglong-class cab adopts a lot of new designs, such as touch screens, holographic projections, etc.

These designs reduce a lot of buttons and greatly reduce the difficulty of driving for the driver. During the acceleration and deceleration phases, artificial intelligence is operating the spacecraft, while the driver assists in the life-sustaining cabin.

However, just in case, a large number of mechanical buttons are still retained to prevent the electronic system from malfunctioning. Although the electronic system of the spacecraft is designed with triple redundancy, this does not mean that it is foolproof.

After all, spacecrafts fly in outer space for a long time. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. Electronic equipment is damaged by cosmic rays over time, and more or less problems will occur.

Although the cosmic ray protection measures of the Qinglong-class spacecraft are very comprehensive, there are no absolutes in everything. If you are too superstitious, you can easily capsize in the gutter.

After Ma Wu and others got initially familiar with the cab, they put on spacesuits in the cabin and started simulated training.

In-cabin spacesuits are different from extra-vehicular space suits. Of course, Galaxy Technology’s materials science is very strong. Even though it is an in-cabin space suit, its quality is still comparable to NASA’s extra-vehicular space suits.

The performance and protection are strong, but the size and weight are not too heavy and bloated, just like wearing a thin down jacket from the Lingnan area.

In addition, the spacesuit design inside the cabin is very convenient. The astronauts can put it on directly after coming out of the life-sustaining cabin.

If you want to get out of the spacecraft and enter outer space for operations, you don’t need to change your spacesuit. You can just put on the extravehicular spacesuit.

Therefore, in order to simulate training, Ma Wu and the others had to wear in-cabin spacesuits and move around in the cockpit. Fortunately, the constant temperature system in the cockpit was not a fake.

After all, the weather in Zhangzhou in October is still very hot, and it will slowly get cooler in November. Their in-cabin spacesuits have very good thermal insulation capabilities, and without air conditioning, it can kill people.

In the cab, Ma Wu operated the spacecraft in a simulated flight.

[Student Mawu, you made eleven mistakes in the operation just now. The first one was: you repeatedly pressed the left auxiliary engine start button twice at 14:42:12...]

The artificial intelligence separated by Zhong gave Ma Wu a list of his mistakes during the operation.

Looking at the data in front of him, Ma Wu was also very embarrassed. He quickly looked over his mistakes carefully and tried not to repeat the same mistakes next time.

If you cannot obtain full marks more than 10 times in a row during simulated driving training of a spacecraft, you will not be eligible to obtain a spacecraft driving license.

A driver's license is the first step to becoming a spaceship pilot. After all, everyone wants to be the first people to go to outer space. At this time, the success rate in simulation training is the key data.

As long as they also have a driving license, astronauts with a high success rate must be the first people to go into outer space.
