Military Technology

The airdrop experiment landing site is located in the depths of the desert, about 50 kilometers northwest of the base. The terrain here is relatively flat, which is very conducive to the airdrop experiment and the final return capsule recovery operation.

When Wu Hao and the others arrived, the ground experiment team at the landing site was already in full swing, and all the work was basically ready.

Generally speaking, there will be no problems in this experiment. However, for the sake of safety, they did not enter the core area of ​​the landing site, but on a hillside about one kilometer away from the landing site.

An observation platform has been established here, with various observation instruments set up on it.

At the same time, the search and recovery convoy on the ground is also ready and ready to go at any time.

In addition, there are many drones on the simple take-off and landing platform not far away. The drones will be released a little while before the experiment officially begins. It is used to search and observe the landing of the return capsule, and the relevant images will also be transmitted to several high-definition large screens on the observation platform in real time.

Wu Hao picked up a high-powered telescope and carefully observed the flat landing field under the hillside in front of them. After observing it carefully, he put down the binoculars and asked Zhou Xiangming who was beside him.

"Has the landing site been carefully inspected?"

Zhou Xiangming nodded immediately after hearing the words and said: "In the morning, I had someone check it again, and carefully irradiated it with infrared thermal imaging detection equipment to make sure that there are no people or some large animals staying in the landing site.

We have set up patrols around the entire test site to ensure that someone strays into it, and our drones will also conduct constant patrols and investigations. Once the situation is found, it will be synchronized immediately and dealt with in a timely manner.

If it is too late to deal with it, then we will stop the experiment in time. "

"That's good." Hearing this, Wu Hao showed a satisfied smile.

"001, this is Phoenix, my plane has entered the sky above the experimental landing field, please give instructions."

At this time, the crew's radio call came from the speaker.

Zhou Xiangming looked at Wu Hao when he heard the words, and Wu Hao waved his hands with a smile on hearing the words: "What to do, what to do, we are mainly watching with glasses today, don't interfere with the whole experiment process, don't pay attention to us."

"Yes!" Zhou Xiangming smiled, and then walked over to the busy Guo Yulong.

As for Wu Hao, he greeted Director Tian and Yang Fan at the side and said, "Come on, let's sit down and chat."

"Okay." After hearing his greeting, everyone nodded with a smile and sat down.

"Mr. Wu, we are all very curious. The future will really be like what you said. Can we ordinary people also have a casual space trip?" Director Tian asked Wu Hao with a smile.

After Wu Hao heard this question, he smiled and replied: "It's for sure, I'm unwavering about it.

However, how long it will take to achieve this is hard to say.

Maybe it will be soon, just like our commercial civil aviation, which has developed so rapidly in less than a hundred years and has become the main means of transportation in our human society.

Let each of us be able to afford a plane ticket, afford to fly, and, as you said, take an instant trip.

maybe,

This process will be relatively long. After all, the difficulty of aerospace technology is here, and so is the cost. If there is no better aerospace technology, it may be difficult to realize this ideal after all.

In the foreseeable future, that is, in the next few decades, I believe that more and more commercial space travel will be open to the public, and the cost of round-trip tickets will gradually decrease.

And I think it will be gradually reduced to a level that a considerable part of us can afford. Rather than like now, space travel is only a luxury that the rich can enjoy. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao smiled at Director Tian: "In fact, we have been working hard for this goal, and we plan to reduce the price of space travel tickets to about one million.

In other words, as long as you spend about one million, you can have a wonderful space trip. "

Director Tian looked at Wu Hao and nodded, "One million is indeed not expensive, but for many people, I'm afraid it's still unaffordable."

Hearing Director Tian's words, Wu Hao shrugged his shoulders, showing a look of helplessness: "Sorry, with our current ability, what we can do is only to this extent.

No way, the cost of entering space in this current way is simply too high. "

Regarding Wu Hao's words, Director Tian nodded and said: "That's right, it's too high. In this way, the one million yuan is indeed very cheap, but it is also something that everyone can have such a chance to try once. "

While they were chatting, a lot of voices came over the radio. Wu Hao and the others were chatting while waiting for the airdrop experiment to start.

"001, Phoenix report, my plane is about to fly over the landing field, altitude 5000, request to drop."

"Phoenix, this is 001, the landing site is in good condition and can be launched!"

"Phoenix received it, ready to launch!"

"The hatch is open!"

"Arrive at the predetermined area, and the goods will be released!"

"The goods are safely out of the warehouse, and the delivery is complete."

"Report, the return capsule has been safely exited, and the guiding parachute has been thrown out."

clap clap clap...

Everyone present applauded upon hearing this.

As for Wu Hao and the others, they immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at the sky. However, because the distance is too far, the picture of the telescope shakes very badly, and it is not very pleasant to see at all.

So, they put down the binoculars and stared directly at the big screen. At this moment, the picture on the big screen has been changed to the picture of the ground observation equipment.

In the picture, the return capsule is rapidly descending in the air, and there is a relatively small white guiding parachute hanging on the top of the return capsule.

"The main parachute is thrown out, and it starts to deploy, and the deployment is normal!"

Following the report, everyone saw on the big screen, on the top of the return cabin, three main umbrellas were suddenly thrown out, and then quickly unfolded, forming three huge mushrooms in the air.

At the same time, under the action of the three main parachutes, the descent speed of the return capsule was also significantly slowed down. The entire return capsule began to float down towards the landing field.

It is said to be falling, but the overall landing speed is actually relatively fast, but it is controlled within an acceptable allowable speed.

With the opening of the three main parachutes, everyone now also breathed a sigh of relief. Because as long as the main parachute is opened, it means that the whole throwing experiment has been half successful.

Next, what everyone is waiting for is the performance of the return capsule in the final landing stage. Because this stage is also the most dangerous stage, a little carelessness will lead to serious consequences.

First of all, the return capsule must be at a certain distance from the ground, and the eight recoil engines spread all over the four sides of the return capsule will be ignited immediately. Quickly decelerate the return capsule so that it can reach an allowable speed for a safe landing.

This is not over yet, because when the return capsule is about to land. The bottom of the return capsule will quickly inflate several airbags as a buffer for the return capsule to land, so as to buffer and protect the return capsule and the astronauts in the return capsule, making them less impacted.
