Chapter 210 It's Him
At 9:09 am on July 21, the Progress Yao-6 manned flight mission was a complete success.
Outside the Xinyuan Space Launch Center, more than 100,000 people gathered here, watching a small white dot on the horizon getting bigger and bigger, and finally landing smoothly and starting to glide.
The emergence of the space shuttle has changed a lot, and landing is also an important part of it.
In the past, when the Shenzhou spacecraft landed, the bell-shaped return capsule only had a rough landing point, and the search and rescue personnel needed to keep calling after the spacecraft crossed the ionosphere, driving a helicopter and guiding the convoy to run around on the prairie of SZWQ, even if they found the return capsule.
With the space shuttle, the return place is fixed, and the personnel can stay outside the airport to watch with peace of mind, anyway, there is no confidentiality.
So in order to welcome the first person in space to return safely again, a considerable number of people gathered around the launch site.
The Progress slid on the runway for a full 1,800 meters before stopping. The ground personnel who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, but did not directly approach the outer shell of the space shuttle.
The thermal insulation layer that just passed through the atmosphere at a speed of tens of Mach now has a minimum surface temperature of more than 100 degrees. It is obviously not a wise choice to put your hand directly on it.
In order to prevent astronauts from waiting for a long time in the cabin to cool down, the hatch is designed to be electric and manual. Under normal circumstances, the door can be opened by prying the control port next to the hatch and pulling down the electronic valve.
The anxious staff opened the hatch as quickly as possible, and a stream of air leaked out from the gap after a few seconds.
A group of staff members stared at the hatch nervously, just like thirteen years ago, fearing that they would see a hell scene.
After the Progress stopped for 70 seconds, as the hatch opened, people saw a tough smile.
Li Wei held the helmet with the mask opened in his left hand and stood behind the hatch.
Compared with being carried down in a wheelchair, Li Wei, who felt that he was in good physical condition, unbuckled his seat belt and tried to stand up after landing. He found that he was not as weak as he imagined, so he simply stood at the hatch door by himself and waited for the staff outside to open the hatch.
Outside the hatch, there were people in white and blue work clothes and photographers with cameras on their shoulders.
People were surprised and at a loss when they saw Li Wei standing with a helmet in his hand, and then they were filled with great joy.
Li Wei walked to the hatch door and waved to the outside, then was surrounded by the excited crowd and walked forward, surrounded by applause wherever he went.
The camera followed his face throughout the whole process. Unlike the time when the microphone cut the corner of his mouth thirteen years ago, everything he could see was intact, with no signs of injury at all.
The space suit on his body was still a bit heavy for Li Wei, but he was also very excited at this time. He ignored the discomfort of returning to gravity again and naturally took the noodles in the porcelain bowl.
It is not just the tradition of getting dumplings on board and noodles off board. Although the Tiangong space station is no longer the same as the Shenzhou V, the latter only eats snacks and a little coffee, and the former even has fresh lettuce to eat.
But steaming hot noodles are still not available in the space station. At least it is absolutely impossible to eat them in a bowl with chopsticks, not to mention drinking a mouthful of noodle soup.
The scene of Li Wei holding noodles with a happy face was faithfully recorded by the camera, and he didn't realize it was wrong for a long time.
A few minutes later, the photographer suddenly remembered something and turned the camera to the direction of Progress.
Hu Dong supported Lin Ju, and the two unlucky guys who were left behind by the commander and the ground stood alone under the hatch, consciously preparing to quietly leave.
…
World famous painting: Progress astronauts returned safely, but there was only one commander.
In order not to embarrass themselves in front of the whole country, Lin Ju and others returned to the space shuttle to re-record the scene of leaving the cabin, and the three people walked down the gangway with smiles in turn.
But this was the scene broadcast in the evening, and the landing in the morning was also live broadcast, and almost 100 million people saw the truth of the matter.
On that day, the top search was: "Li Wei returned safely from space and walked out of the space shuttle."
The first one below was: "Director Lin: Then I will leave?"
The photos of Lin Ju and Hu Dong, who were at a loss because no one greeted them, were taken and widely circulated. After zooming in, you can still see the confused expression of the former, which became the hottest topic discussed that night.
"The winner between the first person in space and the first person in private spaceflight has been decided"
"It turns out that there is a difference between a tractor factory director and a bomber pilot."
"Can't you care about Deputy Commander Hu Dong? He's working hard, too, right?"
"When will Director Lin forward the lucky draw to send someone to space?"
"..."
At night, Lin Ju was browsing Weibo on his ARJ21 plane, looking through the comments of netizens, and found it quite interesting.
Lin Ju, who had just come down from space and was still not satisfied, thought about creating a lucky draw event, and then sent out a new Weibo:
"Follow and forward this Weibo, and 5 tickets for the Steadfast Ship will be randomly issued, each worth 88,888,888. The results will be announced in 24 hours, and the tickets can be resold."
As soon as the Weibo was sent out, the comment area was pulled down to refresh, and hundreds of comments filled the screen.
Every netizen who saw it only had time to read the content and quickly forwarded it, and then returned to leave a message under the Weibo.
Netizen A: "I declare that Director Lin is my father!"
Netizen B: "Isn't this better than lottery? A boat ticket can be easily sold for 100 million, this is real welfare!"
Netizen C: "A Weibo post worth more than 400 million yuan, Director Lin is so domineering!"
CASA: "666"
"..."
Browsing the comments, Lin Ju felt that he had made another contribution to mankind's space cause.
He has not forgotten the long-term mission of "flying higher", and occasionally randomly picking people to go up for a tour can be regarded as a progress.
A few minutes after sending it out, his Huawei P9 PLUS rang.
The latest Huawei has now used the type-C charging port and 18w fast charging. The only thing that is a bit criticized is that the 5.5-inch screen does not look as good as the full screen of later generations, but it is also very good in this era.
This generation of mobile phones is already equipped with HiSilicon Technology's Kirin 955 chip, which has similar performance to Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which is okay.
However, the next generation of Kirin 960 chips or 970 should be different from history.
"Hello?"
"Boss, what great task have you completed?"
"???"
Listening to Guo Shen's words, Lin Ju was a little confused and asked subconsciously:
"What's wrong?"
Guo Shen: "A great god has come to our base, a super great god, why don't you take a look at the list of senior engineers in the institute?"
Lin Ju thought for a long time before he remembered that he summoned a legendary A+ engineer when he entered space. At that time, the system stated that it would take no more than 15 days to arrive. Now is the right time?
Before he opened the system panel in his mind, Guo Shen's excited voice rang on the phone:
"It's Korolev, Sergei Parofyevich Korolev!"
