Super technology leader

Looking at the real-time comments and bullet screens on various platforms, Tang Chao felt that this live broadcast was very successful.

He didn't have time to watch at the beginning, but after the shuttle took off, he naturally had time.

He certainly paid attention to the commercial applications and riding experience, etc. The reason why the initial design was a bit unsuitable for human riding habits was because this thing was not designed by humans.

Although his order was to design an aircraft that humans could ride, the little green men of Planet Kan were not human after all, even if they wore mechs, so their way of thinking was different from humans.

They used the human data provided by Tang Chao, plus some research on Tang Chao's own habits, and this model of aircraft was completed.

So fast!

Tang Chao had also test-ridden it on Planet Kan, and felt... it was okay, but after it was brought to Earth for manufacturing and handed over to a professional service team for evaluation, they found a bunch of problems.

Oh, there were no major problems with aerodynamics, flight control, or mechanical design, but there were problems with the design of the service compartment and passenger cabin.

The service compartment was the transition section that connected to the docking port, where food, drinks, towels, and other items were located, as well as heating and cooling functions.

After evaluation by a professional team, problems such as unreasonable structure, inconvenient heating port use, oversized cabinet doors, and overly strong suction devices were identified.

The passenger cabin had similar problems, but these problems were solved during the major modification from 4 seats to 8 seats.

The biggest change in appearance was probably the viewing window on top of the passenger cabin, which went from 4 large ones to 8 slightly smaller ones, which overall increased the window area.

With the technology currently mastered by Pioneer Company, these were not problems, so after the major modification, the appearance didn't change much, but the "Dart X" could be said to have been completely transformed.

It went from an orbital shuttle that aliens thought was suitable for humans to ride in, to an orbital shuttle that was truly suitable for humans to ride in and could be commercially operated.

The behavior of having the shuttle pilot recite a professional term in each step was also part of the commercial operation. In fact, the astronauts didn't need to say anything, because the shuttle's intelligence was very good, and basically, they didn't need to worry about it after pressing a few buttons.

The reason for having the two pilots say this to the camera was to make future passengers feel a sense of security, and feel that everything was under human control.

"Sense of security" is very important for passengers, and the shuttle would not be used if they could not feel safe.

The sense of security comes from all aspects. Control commands are one aspect, and passengers will also feel a sense of security when highly trained and professional pilots are on the same aircraft as them.

So Tang Chao copied these commands from Planet Kan.

Now, looking at people's comments and bullet screens, it proved that he was right.

In the sky, the "Dart X" was still accelerating continuously. After the thrust was fully opened, the two pilots could already feel obvious pressure and vibration.

"Du Kangsheng, how do you feel?" Tang Chao said into the microphone.

"Commander, I feel good, can move freely, am not affected, and the G-force I am currently experiencing is greater than the takeoff state of a civil aviation aircraft, but far less than the state described during the takeoff of a manned spacecraft," Du Kangsheng replied in a serious manner.

"Li Yuling, how do you feel?"

"Commander, I also feel good..."

The two people's answers were also broadcast live in real time. Don't underestimate their few words, but they also gave a rough idea of the riding experience.

The G-force is greater than the takeoff of an airliner, but less than the takeoff of a manned spacecraft.

Of course, they had never ridden a manned spacecraft before. It costs hundreds of millions to ride once, and they didn't have the money to let them do live-action training.

However, although they have not ridden a manned spacecraft, countries that have achieved manned spaceflight will record mission descriptions and then compare them with the overload state during normal training.

So basically, this state is already bearable for ordinary people, and it is the kind that does not require long-term training.

After all, passengers are here for tourism, and it is impossible to train them for half a year first.

Tang Chao had personally experienced this, although it was on Planet Kan a long time ago.

At that time, he didn't feel particularly comfortable, but it was okay. His physical fitness at that time had not been "upgraded" yet, and he could basically represent an ordinary Earthling.

If he could withstand it, then ordinary Earthlings could also withstand it.

Moreover, the current "Dart X" has undergone multiple humanized upgrades, and the riding comfort has been increased by at least 40% compared to the original!

Very good!

The speed of the shuttle was still increasing, but the fuel consumption was even faster. The annular plug engine was still a pure rocket engine. Once it was turned on, it was a bottomless pit.

Now was the critical moment, and Tang Chao stopped asking questions. He, the staff at the control center, the two pilots, and the audience in front of the live broadcast all became careful, and even their breathing slowed down a lot.

Only the shuttle's speed display was constantly changing.

When the shuttle's flight speed reached 27,000 kilometers per hour and the altitude reached 200 kilometers, Du Kangsheng and Li Yuling suddenly felt that the entire space seemed to quiet down, and their bodies also relaxed.

They became "lighter", and the mascot-like Q version of the "Dart X" plush toy also floated up.

This was because the shuttle's flight speed had basically reached the first cosmic velocity, and they were weightless.

The floating plush toy was the "zero-gravity indicator".

The latest novel is first published on Six 9 Books!

"Engine primary shutdown, enter inertial flight, perform attitude adjustment," Du Kangsheng said, very excited inside, but still calm on the surface.

"Understood!"

Li Yuling did as instructed, and closed the six engines in three stages according to the original sequence.

"All engines primary shutdown."

At this time, the shuttle was in the Earth's shadow, and the fuselage slowly rotated by inertia. Through the porthole in front of them, the two could see the lights below, which was the Western Hemisphere at night.

Turning a few more degrees, their orientation was aligned with the dark and deep space, and the stars and seas showed them an unimaginable magnificent scene.

Without the scattering effect of the atmosphere, they could see more beautiful things, those shining stars, like gems inlaid on the star map.

They could even "feel" that there were patches of space nebulae composed of various colors of dust, gas, and debris polymers in the middle of the stars. These nebulae of different colors were also connected, and together with those shining stars, they finally formed a magnificent Milky Way.

This picture was transmitted all over the world through billions of screens of all sizes, and people were shocked by this beautiful scene.

I don't know if the various stars are giving face today, or if the universe has also been upgraded, or if the latest lens imaging system is powerful, and the starry sky is photographed particularly beautifully.

"It's so beautiful! Why didn't I think it was so beautiful before?"

"Yeah, before, all kinds of space cameras were dark, but now it feels like a dazzling starry sky in a science fiction movie!"

"Holy crap, awesome!"

"The person above is really direct, but I also think, is it because the arrival of aliens has awakened some strange abilities in humans, such as being able to better discover the beauty of the starry sky?"

"Hey, don't say that, although it sounds poetic, it makes a bit of sense when you think about it, maybe it represents that humans have made spiritual preparations for going to the starry sky."

"I think so too. If humans want to become an interplanetary civilization, it is not enough to just upgrade technology, the mental state must also change!"

"That's so mysterious, even involving the soul and spirit. Maybe something in the universe just exploded, and the flash caused the universe to be brighter?"

"Holy crap, what you said is even more mysterious. If something explodes and can dye the entire starry sky with a layer of light, then we are not far from death."

"Hey, that's not necessarily true. The light we can see now is ancient light. Those places are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of light-years away from Earth. By the time the power wave spreads over, humans may have already kicked the bucket."
