Manned Space Launch Center.

It is now the end of November, Chen Shen came here again, and the reason for coming here is naturally only the test flight of the nuclear-powered Tibetan Antelope.

The test flight is scheduled for tomorrow, so there is still time for today.

The bad old man He Wei happily took him to wander around the launch center, while introducing him to the current project situation.

"Now we have completed all the planning of the new moon landing project, and got the order to execute it." When He Wei said this, the whole person was laughing, and he didn't stop at all.

When the lunar landing project was stagnated because of the development of the Tibetan antelope, he was still a little uneasy, worried that the project would be changed and the time node would be postponed.

After all, it is necessary to switch from rocket landing to plasma propulsion to landing on the moon. Who knows when it will be done, maybe it will not be done in ten years?

Unexpectedly, now that several months have passed, there are variables, but the time node of the project has not been postponed, but has been greatly advanced!

Not only plasma propulsion, but also nuclear power!

It gave him the feeling that he got rich overnight, and suddenly became rich!

Chen Shen congratulated him, and then asked: "Has the astronauts been selected?"

He Wei nodded, "The selection has been made, not only for the first batch of moon landings, but also for the second batch!"

He pointed to the newly opened take-off point for Tibetan antelopes to take off and land:

"At this take-off and landing point last month, thirteen sorties of Tibetan antelopes took off and landed this month alone, that is to say, thirteen space missions were carried out."

He Wei burst out laughing as he spoke, "What's the point of launching rockets five times a month? Our frequency is amazing. Their rockets are just as big as smoke and it looks scary. If you really want to go to the sky, you have to look at our Tibetan antelopes." of……"

Chen Shen looked at this Chief Master He, and remembered that he should have been a rocket party a few months ago, but now he has completely lived in the shape of a pusher party...

Listening to He Wei's explanation, he also had an understanding of the movements of the Tibetan antelope in the past few months.

It has been nearly five months since the first flight of the Tibetan antelope.

Tibetan antelopes have taken off and landed more than 50 sorties from the launch center, with an average of ten space missions per month, and there has been an increasing trend. The main mission is manned missions in addition to space experiments.

There are a total of fifteen manned spaceflights, each with two to four astronauts.

The tasks of these astronauts in the sky are generally to operate non-automated test equipment as required to assist in the completion of test tasks.

In addition, there is an adaptation task, that is, when the Tibetan antelope carries three or four people, considering the impact of the load, the Tibetan antelope can no longer carry the test equipment, so this task is equivalent to a space ride.

It's purely for the astronauts to go to space to get used to the experience, let everyone relax and then come down.

Now there are 15 astronauts stationed in the launch center, and all of them have carried out space flights on Tibetan antelopes. This is the number of all active astronauts in China.

However, this number is far from enough to implement the subsequent space factory plan, so astronauts have expanded their recruitment in the military, and at the same time, adaptive selection of scientific researchers of different disciplines has also begun. These experts can communicate with astronauts after training. Let's go to space together.

After all, astronauts are not omnipotent, and some professional things still have to be done by experts.

Moreover, taking the Tibetan Antelope into space has weakened the requirements for physical fitness and flight operations, and the cost of going to the sky has also been reduced. This is a big advantage, and it is natural to make good use of it.

Hearing what He Wei said, Chen Shen and he also slipped to the warehouse of the Tibetan antelope.

One of them is the chief engineer of the Tibetan antelope project, and the other is the chief engineer of the manned moon landing project, so naturally they will not be stopped.

Entering the warehouse, you can see that there are four Tibetan Antelopes parked in a large warehouse with a height of more than ten meters. They are arranged side by side, and the engines sticking out of the fuselage are like the wings of a big bird.

Underneath each Tibetan Antelope is an independent traction platform, which can pull the spacecraft to the take-off point as long as it is connected with a special tractor.

At this time, many engineers are working on the plane, some are maintaining, some are overhauling, everyone is very busy...

"These spaceships look good no matter what, but why don't you add wheels to them?" He Wei looked at the four Tibetan antelopes and suddenly asked this question.

Chen Shen curled his lips: "The wheels take up a lot of space. It's better to save it and let the plane carry one more person. Anyway, the tractor is not expensive."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the four Tibetan Antelopes.

"That's right, the saved load is enough to buy several tractors." He Wei touched his chin and walked over.

Among the four Tibetan antelopes at the scene, one of them was newly installed with a miniature fast neutron reactor. Although their painting was exactly the same, Chen Shen still recognized the nuclear-powered version based on some details.

An engineer was called to open the door, and Chen Shen and He Wei quickly entered the spaceship.

"It doesn't look any different from the other three..." He Wei looked around. This spaceship was only sent to the scene yesterday, and it was his first time entering.

"The other three ships were originally manufactured according to the design drawings of this ship, but the approval of the nuclear reactor project was a bit slow, so I made some adjustments. If it is more realistic, this ship is the prototype."

He Wei walked around behind, savoring the amount of information in this sentence carefully, and didn't feel embarrassed to follow any further.

There is nothing to see inside the nuclear-powered Tibetan Antelope, which is basically the same as the plasma version, and the different nuclear reactors and power generation systems cannot be opened to see, so Chen and God left after looking at it for a while.

It is worth mentioning that after they left, they also saw the astronauts who were organized and came to visit and study, and by the way, they also met the astronauts who were selected as the first batch of astronauts to land on the moon.

Lu Xueming, Qi Wenhua, Jiang Shan.

These three people were the first to come to receive training from the Tibetan Antelope, and they are also the most familiar with the Tibetan Antelope.

...

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Chen Shen came to the flight control hall on time, watched the monitoring of the take-off point and waited for the Tibetan Antelope to enter.

The launch mission of the Tibetan Antelope is probably the easiest. Check the equipment, replace the power supply, pull out the Tibetan Antelope, and then start the thrusters to go to the sky.

Unlike the launch window of the rocket, transportation and assembly inspection, preparation of the launch pad, transfer of the launch site, preparation of fuel in advance, refueling, and after take-off, the ground ocean optics and electronics must track and determine the status of the rocket...

Chen Shen paid attention to the launch procedure of the Tibetan antelope this time. It only took half an hour from pulling it out to taking off, and most of the time was still determining the status of the ground personnel...
