Chapter two hundred and ninety-first high-tech do whatever they want
Tang Chao has been staying at the Pilot's Sweet Soup Island Space Launch Center during this time.
The company's virtual reality helmet production line is still being assembled and debugged, so he doesn't have to care too much. Various experiments and formal promotions are also being arranged. Some company astronauts have even signed confidentiality agreements and have begun to use virtual reality helmets for training and testing. After the Star Inn is in orbit, the other side will naturally keep up.
He has been to space many times. Whether in Kanxing or in virtual space, he has been to space in various forms, but he has never played it since officially entering space from Earth, so he is looking forward to it.
The company's orbital shuttle technology was already quite mature. The first two space pilots flew at least 10 times, and they all started to lead their own students to train other space pilots in the company.
When the company officially starts commercially running space travel, Pilot Company will have at least a team of professional space pilots with 15 people.
In addition to space pilots, astronauts of various professional missions are also being trained, and the company has also specially built an orbital shuttle.
This training orbital shuttle only has two cabin sections, the cockpit and the transition cabin, and the training cabin that runs through the passenger cabin. There are some training equipment in the training cabin, which allows 4 to 5 mission astronauts to train inside.
During training, the orbital shuttle opportunity will fly into space. Those trainers will assemble, disassemble, repair, detect, control, plant, pollinate, care, harvest, and cook in a real weightless environment... uh, this is not a training in other aspects.
This is because there is no dedicated training space station section, and it can only be carried out with small aircraft.
But just use it. Anyway, having an orbital shuttle can do whatever you want. It will cost other space agencies a manned space flight cost for a lot of flights.
This high-density, even normalized manned space flight mission, directly looked at other institutions with manned space capabilities.
Think about how long it takes for me to carry out a manned space mission, and then look at others, times have changed!
There are also some countries that have space agencies but do not have manned space capabilities to take note of orbital shuttles. If you buy an orbital shuttle, won’t your country join the International Space Club?
And it is a manned space club, a high-end club that is ready in one step!
There is only one thing that cannot be praised for "independent manned space capability", which sounds shorter than those countries with independent manned space capability.
Of course, if you are more shameless, this "autonomous" can still be bragged about, such as a certain country.
But it doesn't matter if you don't brag. Times have changed. Whoever is used is not used. Moreover, the Navigator Company is not Meriken. People have already said that everyone sells it, and it is not accompanied by political kidnapping.
Nowadays, aliens are coming, buy such an orbital shuttle to modify it. No matter what it is modified, you can still get a high-end position in the possible "Earth Alliance".
If you lose, everyone will finish playing together, but if you win, it will be a good thing to increase the proportion of contribution and voice.
The rules of the world have been fixed for decades, and now that the fork of history has reached again, the world pattern may usher in a sudden change, and we should fight hard no matter what.
These institutions have found Pilot Company to buy track shuttles. Now, in addition to the track shuttles they want to use, there are more than 12 external orders alone.
This is because although some space agencies have been established and rocket research and development tasks have also been carried out, they are not taken seriously in China. The leaders of the space agency have to argue with the financial institutions, and the finance and management departments have to look at the use of other institutions that have purchased related equipment before making a decision.
That is the so-called "waiting party".
When something is latest, many situations are irrational. After a period of heat passes, the essence of things can be revealed. It is likely to be beneficial to make a decision at that time.
For example, in a certain graphics card upgrade incident, the graphics card series was increased by one level and the price was reduced by half, which was to wait for the party to win.
Let’s talk about the specific task of the Star Inn to enter the track. Tang Chao was stationed on Sweet Pot Island and didn’t care much about the affairs of the headquarters, but he was not idle either. He started a live broadcast several times and answered many netizens’ questions.
With a young person like Tang Chao who knows most netizens’ ways, it’s very easy to deal with netizens’ problems.
At the same time, he is the company boss and has extremely high authority. He decides what should be said and what should not be said, so he can speak freely.
Moreover, he is also the company's chief technology officer. Although he is young and the company's boss, he can also be very knowledgeable about technology. When it comes to the company's equipment, no one knows better than him.
There is no one else who gathers so many BUFFs.
While preparing for the "Voyage" rocket and the "Star Inn" space station, two more orbital shuttles came from the space launch center of Sweets Island, both of which flew over from a total of companies.
Of course, it is definitely not direct flights in the atmosphere, they do not have that ability.
They took off from the headquarters and entered space. One of them was performing astronaut training missions and the other was performing a supply mission to the Tiangong Space Station.
There is nothing to say about training tasks. They are basically normalized tasks, used for the company's aerospace talent training, while the supply tasks are interesting. They are the business scope of the Navigator Company - national aerospace missions.
Although it is not cost-effective to use an orbital shuttle to transport goods, it cannot be kept cheap!
It is also very convenient to use and the preliminary preparation is simple. If the orbital shuttle was not ordered by the Tianxia national team, they would use the shuttle to do this kind of space station supply mission.
It can be imagined that when they get the orbital shuttle, they will definitely be changed to a type that is both for passenger and cargo.
Of course, the shuttles of Pilot Company are all dedicated. Passenger transport is passenger transport, freight transport is freight, and training is training. After all, dual-purpose also means that no model can be fully loaded.
The pure freight version of the orbital shuttle can carry 2.5 tons of cargo. Although it is not as good as the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft with a load of 6 tons, its comprehensive price is simply outrageously cheap in other aspects.
Anyway, Tianxia has technical reserves for cargo spacecraft, so I feel very confident in using and purchasing the orbital shuttle from Pilot Company.
Even if the orbital shuttle is retired like the previous space shuttle, they have a way to transport cargo to the space station. There is no need to worry about encountering situations like Meriken. For a long time, astronauts go to space to board manned spacecraft from other countries.
Now the reason these two track shuttles are parked here is because they have been assigned new tasks.
First, land here and check the landing and tower command capabilities of the new runway, as well as the maintenance and maintenance capabilities of the maintenance workshop.
The second is to wait for the Starry Sky Inn to enter space orbit, and then the orbit shuttle takes off from here, checking the take-off ability of the new runway, and providing supplies to the Starry Sky Inn that has just been on the way.
The Navigator Company will stop doing the things that can wait for a long time before transporting supplies. The time when Star Inn waits for the orbital shuttle to stop is enough for self-inspection. If there is no problem in completing the self-inspection, the supply can be performed. If the self-inspection cannot pass, the shuttle will land again.
Chapter completed!
