Chapter 113: Different Starry Sky, Same Dream

The speed of the shuttle is still accelerating. The thinner the air, the faster its speed, but as the air becomes thinner, the lift it can provide is not enough.

The two astronauts have been staring at various data. When all the data point to a predetermined value, the main pilot said: "The thrust is six or six, the engine is fully on!"

"Understood! Five or six engines start, full thrust!"

The co-pilot immediately took the order and turned on the last two engine switches, and the main driver also pushed the push rod to the top.

At this point, the six T-1 "dart" ring plug engines are fully thrust, and the thrust of 93.6 tons pushes the aircraft into space.

Due to the previous fuel consumption, the total weight of the 100-ton aircraft has been reduced to 90 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds 1, so there is no problem in continuing to accelerate the flight.

After full thrust, Tang Chao could already feel obvious pressure and vibration, but according to Werner's statement, this vibration and G force were much more stable than the "iron can" spacecraft.

Tang Chao's personal feelings were similar. Although not particularly comfortable, at least it was almost the same as flying by plane. His current physical fitness represented an ordinary earthling. He could bear it, so could earthlings too.

Later Werner told him that it was related to his wearing a powered spacesuit.

Because there is a buffer layer in this spacesuit, it can be regarded as further reducing the vibration. If it were just an ordinary spacesuit in the cabin, Tang Chao would feel a greater vibration.

However, according to their experiments, this vibration and G force are within the acceptable range of ordinary humans.

That's good.

It is good to be able to do this. If you want to continue to improve comfort, you must carry out a thorough technical upgrade, which is a real aerospace plane.

The ring plug engine is still a rocket engine. Once it is turned on, the fuel consumption rate is extremely fast.

The fuel storage of the shuttle aircraft is limited, and there is not much time for them to consider too many comfort factors. Only after using a real aerospace engine to greatly save fuel consumption in the atmosphere, designers can consider further comfort issues.

Just as Tang Chao was thinking about how long it would take to release the aerospace vehicle after cutting several waves of leeks, he suddenly felt that the G force and vibration had disappeared, and the entire space seemed to be quiet.

I also became lighter.

No, it was not lighter, but the speed of the shuttle reached the first cosmic speed, and he lost weight.

"Turn off the engine and enter the inertial flight state." The main pilot said.

"understand!"

The co-pilot did as he did, and in the initial order, the six engines were turned off three times.

"All engines are shut down."

The aircraft was still in the shadow of Kan Xing. Through the screen in front of him, Tang Chao could see the little lights below. He looked up at the viewing window, and the starry sky appeared in his eyes.

In the dark and deep space, the world of stars and seas showed an unimaginable magnificent scene.

Countless stars converge into a starry sky river system that is not known to be the same as the Milky Way. The location of the Kan Galaxy seems to be on the edge of this river system, so Tang Chao can see the "Milky Way" they converge, just like the one seen on Earth. Beautiful and vast.

Without the astigmatism of the atmosphere, he can see even more beautiful things, the shining stars, like gems inlaid on the starry sky map.

He can even feel that there are patches of space nebulae composed of various colored dust, gas, debris and other polymers among them. These different colored nebulae are also connected, and finally connected into various wonderful patterns.

"BOSS, we have entered the Kanxing orbit, the driver has turned off the engine, you can unfasten the seat belt, the driver will help us to level the seat, so that we have more room to move."

Werner's voice made Tang Chao retract his shocked gaze, turned his head and replied, "No problem."

After speaking, he raised his floating hand to unfasten the floating seat belt.

"Crack~"

The unfastened seat belt naturally floated to both sides, and his body naturally floated.

He didn't make a stand up movement, it was just the result of his body touching the seat many times when he just unfastened his seat belt.

The effect of force is mutual.

This law is fully demonstrated in weightlessness.

After he drifted away from the seat, the seat began to flatten slowly.

Without worrying about the flat seat, he floated directly to the side of the viewing window, and gently grasped the handrail by the window with his mechanical hand. The first thing that brought him into view was a space station and a moon.

There is nothing more to say about the moon, Kanxing has two moons, this one should be the larger one.

This space station is about to talk about it.

Warner introduced this space station to him before. It is currently the only space station in Kanxing, and its positioning is similar to the International Space Station on the other side of the earth.

But it is much larger than the International Space Station. It weighs 1,200 tons, which is almost three times the mass of the International Space Station.

Moreover, it is "four generations under one roof", and the first, second, third and fourth generation space station modules are integrated into this 1,200-ton mass.

Because of the previous "cosmic escalation" event, all the man-made equipment in Kanxing's orbit and outside areas were gone, Kanxing Little Green had to re-explore Kanxing and then return to space.

They first launched an experiment with a 1.3-meter-diameter cabin.

This cabin seemed small to Tang Chao, but it was enough for a little green man who was less than 80 cm tall.

After the experiment was completed, the little green man launched two more of the same model to form a small space station.

This kind of "multi-module, building block structure" is actually a bit of the third generation of the Earth's space station, but Kanxing doesn't think so. They have divided generations according to the comprehensive state of size and structure.

After that, the cabin was upgraded to a diameter of 2.6 meters, and three more were launched, which were still building blocks.

Because they are progressing so fast, the previous small first-generation space station has not yet reached the design life, so they have joined together.

After that, the diameter of their space station cabin was upgraded to 3.9 meters, and several more were launched, making it one piece with the previous two generations.

At this time, the Kanxing space station is already very complicated, but the little green people still feel that it is not enough, and want to add more cabins.

Because the structure is a bit unstable, they also installed trusses to fix the structure, and later added some large cabins with a diameter of 3.9 meters, which finally formed this 1200-ton super-large space station.

They call it the fourth generation.

Now that he was here, then Tang Chao would go look inside.

The 3.9-meter-diameter cabin is quite good. It is between the 3.35-meter-diameter Sky Labs 1 and 2 on the other side of the earth and the official space station with a diameter of more than 4 meters. Tang Chao has no problem getting in.

There are several dome capsules in this space. On the side of the earth, this thing is an observation deck, and on the side of Kanxing, this thing is a cab.

I don’t know if the developer of the game was influenced by the cockpit of the old bomber. At that time, the technology of various detection equipment was not developed, so it was necessary to observe with the naked eye, and then came up with a transparent cockpit with a full glass cover for the crew Personnel can observe most areas.

However, he looked at a few dome cabins and found that only one still had the bridge, and the others had been removed and turned into a pure observation deck.

When he observed Kanxing’s night through the dome, Kanxing’s sun just rose from behind Kanxing, which allowed him to see the spectacular sunrise in space.

He found that under the sun, the atmosphere that Kan Xing could see with the naked eye was foggy, with only such a thin layer.

And the entire Kanxing civilization was born in that thin layer of atmosphere, and now most of the little green people still live in that thin layer of atmosphere.

He has seen this kind of sight on the earth's network, and they are human beings too.

Although the location is different now, and the civilization on the planet is different, he flew to space to see this scene in person, and he... was full of emotion.

Whether it is the earth or the star, they are big and they have nurtured hundreds of millions of intelligent lives.

At the same time, they are also very small. Seen from space, their ecosystem is only such a thin layer.

He turned his head and looked at the starry sky, those little stars, planets with Kan galaxies, more distant huge stars, or even entire galaxies.

Such a huge thing, what I see here is just a small bright spot.

It's embarrassing.

The little green man has long had an unwavering goal, which is to walk towards the bright starry sky.

At this moment, Tang Chao's goal was the same, firmer than ever, and the future of mankind was like that bright starry sky.

At this moment, his thought had undergone a certain transformation that he didn't know.
