A smart electric car speeds past on a gravel road. Leaves a trail of smoke and dust.

Li Hao looked at the situation behind the car and said with emotion: "It seems that we still need to increase investment, at least to harden the road surface."

Sitting next to him, Ma Yiming, the general manager of Space Exploration Group, frowned and replied: "Mr. Li, we also want to build the road quickly, and the government has approved our road construction plan.

However, the construction of roads requires land acquisition, and the progress of this work is extremely slow. We entrust the government to directly negotiate with the land acquisition.

Some nail households turned red in their eyes when they heard about the land acquisition. If we let them see our company's urgency, it will delay the progress of the project. "

"It is still necessary to find a way to speed up the progress. Now the airport is in the construction stage, and there is not much material delivery. This road can still be persisted.

When the space shuttle is officially put into operation, it will require a lot of materials, which cannot be afforded by this dirt road.

Besides, when transporting satellites and other spacecraft in the future, their components will be very delicate. If it is damaged due to bumps and road problems, it is not worth it at all. Li Hao urged Ma Yiming with a straight face.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, we will definitely complete the road construction work as soon as possible." Ma Yiming immediately promised.

He thought in his heart that he should urge him, if the government gets serious. There are many means used.

Li Hao suddenly felt a huge vibration from the smart electric car.

He was curious what happened outside? You must know that the shock absorption system of smart electric vehicles is very good. The road conditions are not extremely complicated, so there will certainly not be such a big vibration.

He looked out the window and found that the smart electric car just crossed a hurdle more than 30 centimeters high.

On one side of this hurdle is a dusty gravel road. The other side is a concrete floor made of high hardness cement.

It is already within the airport range of the space shuttle, and it is also one of the command centers of the space exploration group's space activities.

Li Hao and Ma Yiming joined forces to come here today. It is because all the testing work of the space shuttle has been completed. Tomorrow will be the official test flight of the space shuttle.

This is the initial stage of the space strategy envisioned by Li Hao. He started from the day he obtained the scientific and technological materials of alien civilization. Li Hao knew that his stage was not just on the earth, only the vastness of the universe could carry his ideals.

The vehicle quickly drove to a huge building complex. Li Hao looked out the window, and it was not as desolate as the first time he came here.

The engineering mecha is equipped with various construction machinery, coupled with a professional construction team. Including the runway for the space shuttle to take off and the ground command center for aerospace engineering, the airport was built very quickly.

As soon as Ma Yiming got out of the car, he asked Li Hao, "Mr. Li, shall we first watch the selection of astronauts, the ground command system at the airport, or the assembled space shuttle?"

"Let's go to see how to select astronauts first, and then look at the ground intelligence system. Today's time is about the same.

Waiting for the last inspection before the space shuttle test flight tomorrow. I'm going to visit the space shuttle again.

Don't bother the space shuttle team now, let the engineers concentrate on testing the various data of the space shuttle. "Li Hao thought for a while, and then instructed Ma Yiming.

Ma Yiming nodded after hearing this, and looked forward in a daze.

He is checking where the astronaut selection address is from the cloud intelligence platform.

Ma Yiming's expression quickly returned to normal, and he said to Li Hao: "President Li, the place where astronauts are selected is not far from us, let's go and have a look."

Li Hao and Ma Yiming walked to the place where astronauts were selected.

On the way, Li Hao asked Ma Yiming: "Manager Ma, the space shuttle is going to test flight tomorrow, and it will fly out of the atmosphere for the first time.

In this case, do you need to carry astronauts? You are starting to select astronauts now, isn't it a bit late? "

When Li Hao thought about the selection of astronauts, he had some doubts in his heart, and the tone of his speech also seemed to be questioning.

If it is the first time to carry astronauts into space, it is not a safety issue.

It is the quality of personnel, astronauts who have just been selected and have not been trained. They go to heaven just as a mascot, and go to space for a short tour.

They are private capital companies involved in aerospace activities, except ideally. The biggest motivation is to bring huge benefits.

This is different from the country, the country is for fame, or to show its achievements. Regardless of the cost, astronauts can be sent to the sky for tourism.

The potential benefits that this can bring far outweigh the cost of astronaut travel. But they are private companies, and they don't need and can't get such potential benefits at all. There is no need for astronauts to travel around the sky.

"How can it be possible to carry astronauts for the first time, even if Lao Niu is confident. Our first space shuttle test flight, the internal operation is completed by robots simulating astronauts.

The safety performance of the space shuttle is well designed on paper, but without experiments, no one knows what will happen.

Even the space shuttle is out of our control. I am not at all surprised to escape directly from the gravity of the earth and wander in the universe.

The purpose of our selection of astronauts this time is to allow astronauts to participate in future space activities.

After all, space activities only use robots, so some data cannot be collected at all. In future space activities, there must be astronauts to complete certain tasks. Hearing the change in Li Hao's tone, Ma Yiming immediately explained in detail.

Li Hao was very satisfied with Ma Yiming's answer and didn't ask any more questions.

When they came to the room where the astronauts were selected, they saw that the security guards using the enhancement fluid were lining up to enter a high-speed rotating experience cabin to experience the increasing acceleration. This is to experience the acceleration produced by the space shuttle's rapid travel phase.

Gundam, who was in charge of the selection of astronauts, saw Li Hao coming in, so he immediately walked over and said, "Mr. Li, our astronaut selection is about to be completed, and we have reached the last item. We will select those who can bear more than 10g as the preparations for spaceflight." member."

When Li Hao heard Gao Da's words, he was very puzzled. He knows the criteria for the country's selection of astronauts, and he can recite the general rules for the selection of astronauts.

Space activities require astronauts to have a strong body to withstand various harsh environmental conditions; have good psychological qualities to master complex operational skills and cope with unexpected situations;

Have a high level of education to explore the experience of manned spaceflight; have lofty dedication to adapt to space exploration activities.

Simply put, it is good physical and mental quality. Quick learning ability, can skillfully operate various equipment.

Unexpectedly, when they chose astronauts, they actually required the astronauts to be able to withstand an acceleration of 10g. This is far greater than the adaptation of mainstream international astronauts to acceleration.

In the past, the equipment was not advanced, and the acceleration of the spacecraft could reach 3~5 g. Astronauts who want to go to the sky must go through thousands of selections and have excellent physique.

Now the general spacecraft only needs 2~3 g. The body of a normal person can bear it, which is one of the reasons why there are now female astronauts.

Li Hao turned to Ma Yiming and asked: "Manager Ma, I remember that the acceleration generated by the ion electric propulsion engine is not too high, why do astronauts need to withstand an acceleration of more than ten g?"

When Gundam heard this question, he explained first: "Mr. Li, you are wrong. The space shuttle we use produces an acceleration within two g.

The reason why we require astronauts to withstand the acceleration of more than ten g. It is hoped that the space shuttle will have an accident and fall to the earth at a very high speed. Astronauts can survive the extreme conditions of a high-speed fall. "

Ma Yiming also explained: "Our space shuttle uses new materials. Even if an accident occurs, the integrity of the entire space shuttle will be guaranteed. There is also a safety cabin inside, which is enough to ensure the safety of astronauts.

As long as it is not hit by asteroids, it will not disintegrate directly in the air under normal circumstances.

In the event of an accidental landing, there will also be emergency safety measures. Even after falling at high speed, it hit the ground violently. The energy released by the impact and the vibration generated will also be skillfully avoided by the safety equipment.

But the only thing the space shuttle can't guarantee is when it returns to the atmosphere. The powertrain failed and braking in the atmosphere was not possible. This will cause the space shuttle to descend rapidly.

In this case, extremely high gravitational acceleration will be generated inside the space shuttle, and the body of ordinary people cannot bear such a huge acceleration. "

"It turned out to be like this. It can increase the survivability of astronauts as much as possible. This design is very humanized. It is also of great benefit to our company, and it can also reduce the psychological resistance of astronauts." Li Hao praised.

Every time the company trains an astronaut, it needs to pay a huge cost. The resulting cost is several times the weight of the astronauts and the value of gold of the same weight.

As an astronaut who has gone through many missions, his own experience is very valuable.

Li Hao and the others continued to watch the astronaut selection process. These people obviously didn't reach the limit when they used the strengthening fluid. Out of a team of hundreds of people, only 33 people passed the selection.

Gundam lined up the reserve astronauts who passed the test, and said to them: "You accept the company's most advanced training model, and you all understand the company's dedication to you.

The strength-type strengthening liquid needs to be used continuously to exert its effect. Once the drug is stopped, the cells will return to normal levels. You can also learn the value of these potions.

The company also pays each of you a high salary, and arranges for your wife's working children to go to school, so that you can live happily together. And introduce objects to single people.

Now is the moment when the company needs you. Don't think that passing the assessment means you become a qualified astronaut.

You still have a lot of knowledge to learn, and you have to repay the company through your own hard work. "

After Gao Da finished speaking, he walked up to Li Hao and said, "Mr. Li, the company's reserve astronauts have been selected. You just came to the scene and encouraged them."

Li Hao nodded in agreement, "Okay."

He walked to the front of the line of reserve astronauts, looked them straight in the eye, and began his speech.
