Chapter 394 Return
There is no resistance in space, so objects in flight will not stop by themselves. The aircraft does not need to consume fuel in a cruise state.
Objects with speed already have flying down forever if they are not blocked by other objects.
On this basis, as long as the aircraft has power output, its flight speed can be continuously improved and fuel can be accelerated.
Correspondingly, when the aircraft wants to stop, it needs to redirect the engine and push it in the opposite direction.
If you want to stop, you have to consume energy specifically. How much energy is consumed when you accelerate, and the same energy is also required when you stop.
This is one of the most obvious differences between space navigation and intra-atmosphere movements.
Therefore, the spacecraft's navigation logic is theoretically to use half of the fuel to accelerate, add to the limit of acceleration, then float to the target position, and then use the other half of the fuel to slow down.
Most of the distance of the entire range is in the process of acceleration and deceleration.
However, in fact, the starting point and end point of space navigation are mostly near various celestial bodies such as stars, planets, satellites, etc.
Because space is really empty, it is meaningless to run to a completely empty place.
Therefore, the process of acceleration and deceleration can reduce its own fuel consumption by celestial bodies' gravity.
Although Yuanwang 1 continued to accelerate towards the distance, she, who was cautious enough, did not rashly escape from the gravitational circle of the ship girl planet.
But when I arrived at the place facing the satellite, I looked at the huge moon in the distance, and then adjusted my orbit again, and met with the Space Force Port that had circled twice.
Then, Far-Wang No. 1 watched the black fish fly out from afar.
The black fish obviously wanted to come out and try flying directly in space, but the black fish was still timid and did not dare to fly as far as Yuanwang 1, and only dared to circle around the base.
Seeing Yuanwang No. 1 coming back, Black Fish immediately met:
"Sister Yuanwang!"
Yuanwang No. 1 rushed over and grabbed the black fish's palm. The two of them circled twice in place with inertia, and said with a smile:
"We are finally relieved now, but now all the tests of this space mission have been officially completed, and we should return to the ground."
The black fish was a little hesitant and wanted to delay for a little longer. However, thinking that Xu Xingchen was still on the ground, the black fish wanted to go back early to hug him, so he nodded in the end:
"Well, it's time for us to go back."
The two ship girls returned to the Space Force Port together and entered the "stop cabin" in the military port.
During this space mission, in addition to the spacecraft carried by Yuanwang 1 and Black Fish, additional return facilities were prepared in the Space Force Harbor.
Large-scale, powered, capable of flying for a short distance between inside and outside the atmosphere, a special return capsule...
Whether it is appearance or ability, this thing should be said to be more suitable for a space shuttle.
However, this kind of space shuttle is not complete and currently does not have the ability to take off directly from the ground and cannot enter space by itself. It can only be carried by the ship girl.
Their current purpose is to carry the ship girl back to the ground, so it is called a space return power glider.
Yuanwang No. 1 took the black fish into a glider, activated the self-test system of the glider, and brought the black fish into the passenger compartment.
What the crew cabin visits is not rows of seats, but independent small escape pods, each of which has the ability to return to escape independently.
With abundant weight and space, Xu Xingchen and the ship girls certainly don't mind improving safety as much as possible.
Yuanwang No. 1 and the black fish entered the escape pod one after another, fixed their bodies, connected the protection equipment, and closed the escape pods.
After the self-inspection of the return glider was completed and confirmed that there was no fault, Yuanwang 1 directly activated the automatic return system of the glider in the escape compartment.
A glider with a height similar to a space shuttle, under the control of the autonomous driving system, slowly leaves the stop cabin and enters the return transit cabin.
Then close the rear parking cabin door and open the outer cabin door of the take-off passage in front.
Driven by the electromagnetic guide rail, the glider slowly accelerated to leave the space base, and under the push of the rocket engine, it circled and landed towards the blue planet below.
As the altitude becomes lower and lower, the surrounding air becomes more and more intense. The glider with a static and stable structure slowly enters aerodynamic flight state.
The whole process was extremely smooth, and the glider floated across half a planet like a real airplane.
More than an hour later, on the runway of Yunhai Home Port Airport, he landed safely.
When the plane finally stopped, Yuanwang No. 1 and Black Fish's small escape compartment also banged, and after two bangs, it automatically opened the hatch door.
The black fish jumped up from the escape pod first, but almost fell to the ground.
Yuanwang No. 1, who came out next to her, shook her body a few times, but she was mentally prepared and calmed down a little, and immediately held the escape compartment to stabilize her body.
Then he reached out and held the black fish's arm. Yuanwang No. 1 smiled and said directly in his voice:
"After adapting to the gravity-free environment, suddenly returning to the ground, you have to be a little careful. Here, we can't float around..."
The black fish immediately reacted, held Yuanwang No. 1's arm, the door of the escape cabin beside him, and tried hard to stand firmly, and breathed hard and said:
"Thank you...I...I understand here, but it's really not comfortable...it's more free in space..."
Yuanwang No. 1 continued to smile and say:
"But we can speak directly here... and the commander is waiting for us here..."
The black fish was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up, looked outside through the cabin window, and found that there were a large group of ship girls standing next to the runway.
Xu Xingchen was surrounded by a large number of ship girls, standing in the middle of the team, obviously coming to greet him.
"Hurry up, let's go out quickly..."
The black fish muttered in her mouth, subconsciously trying to walk out, but was pressed by Yuanwang No. 1:
"Don't worry, we have to take a little rest. At least we have to be able to stand firm on our own before we can go down to meet everyone. Don't let the commander worry about everyone..."
The black fish suddenly realized:
"That's right. I was a little excited when I saw that guy... or Sister Yuanwang is still steady. This mission is entirely based on Sister Yuanwang's command. I can't do anything myself..."
Yuanwang No. 1 was resting while comforting the black fish:
"As a ship girl who has never dismissed space, you have done a good job.
"Your mission this time is to transport our space base, and you completed the mission successfully.
"Everyone knows from now on that our first space force port was sent to heaven by Black Fish.
"So don't blame yourself. Don't complain when you go back..."
The black fish nodded slightly:
Chapter completed!
