Super technology leader

"Hey, it seems that this shuttle is really not flying less?"

"Yes, BOSS, this one has flew 16 times and the one inside has flew 2 times. It is guaranteed to be very safe."

Following Warner's robotic fingers, Tang Chao did find the difference between the two shuttles.

The place where they are now is the spacecraft hangar, with two shuttles parked one after the other on the left, and a space shuttle under maintenance on the right.

The three aerospace vehicles filled this hangar, and because of this, they wanted to expand the space center.

Of the two shuttles, the one close to them had flown more than a dozen times, but it still looked clean, but its cleanliness was a little different from the one behind.

Just like an airplane that has been out of the factory for three years but has been well maintained and an airplane that has only flown once after leaving the factory, the "clean" state is not a feeling.

The current situation is indeed similar. The one in front of me flew a dozen times, and the one behind only flew twice.

This time Tang Chao took the initiative to ask: "Have any accident happened during the test?"

"Hey, BOSS, your guess is accurate. In fact, you can tell from the number of this aircraft." Werner scratched his flat head with the manipulator and said with a grin.

"Numbering?"

Hearing this, Tang Chao walked aside and looked at the serial number of the aircraft. He quickly saw the word "02" on the side of the nose, and the word "03" on the back was also very clear.

"..."

He was speechless at the time.

Why is "01" gone?

It must be a fall.

Soon, Werner confirmed his idea that the "01" verification aircraft did fall, and it was not during the first test flight. It was the sixth test flight.

Successfully entered space that time, and fell when returning from the atmosphere.

For unknown reasons, the spacecraft suddenly rolled over, and then the spacecraft disintegrated.

If it was before, Tang Chao would be frightened after hearing it, but now, he is as calm as the little green man.

No, the little green man is more popular than him. While they are calm, they may be more excited.

Anyway, Werner was very happy when he got here.

The fragments of the spacecraft were scattered, but fortunately, the little green man was fine, and successfully landed with a parachute.

The "01" verification machine was disintegrated, and they built the "02" test machine. This test machine is amazing. Except for the most minor problem, it has never had an accident. It has been flying for more than a dozen. Second, it has gone through all the revision and improvement process.

The "03" behind is the first mass-produced aircraft. So far, it has only flown twice, once with no load, and once with a little green man pilot and a machine double in a spacesuit.

But this is probably the last one, because this aircraft is designed and manufactured in accordance with the specifications of the earth, and it is not suitable for the little green people of Kanxing, even the little green people are wearing big mechas.

After checking the appearance, Werner led Tang Chao into the cabin.

When Tang Chao came last time, he was catching up with the manufacturing of the "01" project prototype. It had not been built at that time, at most it was equivalent to a rough room...the current mass production machine was equivalent to a fine decoration.

Due to the special structure of the wave-riding body of the shuttle, there is a lot of space on both sides of the cabin and the aircraft, and the inside is full of equipment, so there is no way to install the doors and portholes, so the doors and portholes are installed above the aircraft.

After passing a small covered bridge, they reached the hatch and stepped on a ladder to enter the shuttle.

Tuo Tangchao brought the blessings of those sci-fi movies, and because he participated in the cabin design, the feeling of the entire cabin is very in line with human aesthetics.

The large area in the cabin is white, which makes the whole look very simple and bright.

Tang Chao didn't let the little green people install too many luxurious things. Since it was a mass-produced machine, he used a very simple design.

But simplicity is not the same as simple. The combination of a large amount of white, a small amount of black and lines, plus the large viewing window on the top of the cabin and the fully designed seats, give people a feeling of riding a science fiction spacecraft.

Just like the spaceship in a science fiction movie.

No, for the earth, this is a "sci-fi spaceship".

The cabin is huge, even if it is equipped with four seats, the seats are independent, and they can be flattened to make more space.

There are two large screens on the foremost bulkhead of the cabin, and there are also behind the two front seats. They have all the functions of a tablet computer and can also make video calls with the ground alone.

There is also wifi in the cabin, so you can do this with your own mobile phone.

In the second transaction before, the launch vouchers that Tang Chao got were used to do this, and these can be achieved when his satellites are in the sky.

In fact, the money he gets in each transaction is not too much. Most of them are replaced by services, policies, resources and other things. Many of them are not available for money, or very troublesome.

The outside of the shuttle is equipped with a camera, passengers can use this large screen to see those scenes, in a sense, it is equivalent to a porthole.

However, many people think that the images displayed by electronic devices have no inner taste, and you must see them with your own eyes, especially when you are in space and watch them through the screen, which is boring.

Therefore, there is a viewing window at the top of the cabin, and passengers will definitely gather around to see the beauty of space.

He looked at the cabin before he went to look at the cockpit. Since the cockpit is at the forefront of the shuttle, the visual porthole can still be installed.

There are a lot fewer physical buttons in the cockpit, but there are still dozens of them, and the others have been replaced by large screens.

The reason for removing most of the buttons is because this shuttle has a high degree of automation, and it can fly normally without even an astronaut. However, the cockpit is still reserved on the shuttle, and pilots will be piloted during commercial operation.

After all, it is used to carry tourists into space, and these tourists are just ordinary people, not professional astronauts.

Professional astronauts can give their lives to "iron cans," but ordinary people can't. People don't have a high degree of acceptance of unmanned vehicles, let alone things that go to space.

There is a possibility of survival in a car accident on the road, and even sitting on the side of the road and cursing the street, but if there is an accident in space, it is really hard to say.

Can you put it aside for the first time? It's the kind of helplessness, no distinction between up and down, and even the unstoppable rotation. The feeling of being surrounded by huge fear is enough to scare ordinary people to death.

If there is a driver in the cockpit, even if the shuttle is not controlled by the driver, it feels completely different.

"The training cost of professional astronauts is higher than mine, not to mention a few ferry tickets. Letting them come up shows that the aircraft is safe."

Most people would definitely think so.

Let alone ordinary people, even Tang Chao would think so, but he still believes in scientific data. If the data can prove such safety, he will be fine.

Just like now.

Listening to Werner's introduction and looking at various experimental data, he now feels eager to try.

The largest unfolding diameter of the Double Star Gate is only ten meters, and a shuttle with a wingspan of 20 meters will definitely not be able to transport the Earth. Before the Earth has a chance to enter space, can you give it a try?

He rejected the previous Kanxing Iron Can "Spacecraft" and Kanxing Re-enacted Space Shuttle, because those things were not for ordinary people. Now, all kinds of data show that the shuttle is safe and suitable for ordinary people. Ride, let him not be moved.

Werner clearly saw Tang Chao's intentions, so he suggested: "BOSS, how about... give it a try?"

Thinking is one thing, being asked is another thing, so he hesitated again, "is it appropriate?"

"Appropriate," Werner nodded, "I know what the BOSS is worried about. If you want to take a ride, we will thoroughly inspect the two aircraft."

"After the inspection is no problem, you put on that power suit and take the No. 3 aircraft, and then the No. 2 aircraft will fly with you. If there is any accident, you can get rescue immediately.
