Chapter 717: Visiting the Moon Again
In the following period, Xu You tested the operation of the lunar planetary engine many times to further determine the feasibility of the entire design plan.
After completing these tasks, Xu You once again applied to the Shenzhou Space Agency to go to the moon to participate in the construction guidance work of the lunar planetary engine.
Although the internal staff did not want Xu You to take the risk of going to the moon again , they also knew that Xu You's trip would definitely increase the completion effect of the project, so they agreed to Xu You's application.
Upon learning that Xu You and Lu Zhiyao wanted to go to the moon again, Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun also expressed their desire to go to the moon together to take a look.
"Xu You, I have three days left to complete the challenge of living in an underground shelter for a month. After I get out, I'll go to the moon with you guys, how about that?"
Because he was in the middle of a live broadcast, Luo Wenkun did not talk to Xu You about this matter on the phone, but asked Xu You about it by sending a message on the communication software.
"If you are ready, I personally have no objection, but you still need to submit it to the Shenzhou Space Administration for approval. I think, with your status, you should be approved."
"Well, that's great. The standards for participating in space travel are not that high now. With my physical fitness, there will basically be no problem."
"That's true, but before going to the moon, it's better to participate in some professional training, so that you can better adapt to space travel. There is no need for things like survival in the wild, and it's basically useless. Even if such a situation really happens, Lu Zhiyao and I can help you deal with it..."
Xu You told Luo Wenkun about his experience of space travel. This kind of precious experience is not something that everyone can have.
"Okay, then after I complete this challenge, I will try to apply to the Shenzhou Space Administration. Oh, it would be such a pity if I could never travel outside of the Blue Planet once in my life."
Lin Shi also expressed a similar idea to Luo Wenkun, wanting to go to the moon with Xu You and Lu Zhiyao. This time Xu You did not refuse, but asked Lin Shi to apply on her own.
Fortunately, Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi’s applications were eventually approved by the Shenzhou Space Administration.
Because both of them are very important figures in Shenzhou and have a close relationship with Xu You, the space agency would not have any major objections when they learned that they were going to the moon with Xu You.
However, the space agency requires that they must participate in the most basic space training before going to the moon. Only after passing the assessment will they be qualified to become real astronauts and participate in space flights.
However, because the requirements for astronauts in current space travel are not that high, compared with the training that Xu You and Lu Zhiyao had undergone before, Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi’s training can only be said to be a simplified version.
After a period of training, the two officially passed the review and obtained the qualification to become astronauts.
When the departure date arrived, Xu You and three others boarded the Shenniao aerospace fighter, ready to start their journey to the moon.
The carrying capacity of the Shenniao is not strong, and is even inferior to that of ordinary spacecraft, but it has no problem carrying four people. With its powerful flying speed, riding in an aerospace fighter is naturally a better choice.
Before departure, Luo Wenkun suddenly said:
"No, I feel a little nervous... Is it too late to get off the plane now?"
Hearing Luo Wenkun's words, Lin Shi curled her lips and said:
"No way, no way, Mr. Luo from Fulong Technology doesn't even have the courage to ride in an aerospace fighter? If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off."
"Hey, I was just talking casually. I won't really get off the plane. It's just that this is my first time doing this, so I'm still a little nervous."
Xu You smiled and said:
"It's okay. This is a normal reaction. When Yaoyao and I first rode an aerospace fighter, we were inevitably a little worried. But in fact, there is nothing to worry about. It is even more stable and safer than riding a normal plane."
Since aerospace fighters may experience various harsh environments, the safety level requirements for aerospace fighters are very high.
It can be said that even if someone wants to maliciously destroy the aerospace fighter, it is difficult to cause any substantial damage to the aerospace fighter, let alone just flying normally in space.
Just as the four were chatting, it was time for the aerospace fighter to take off.
After checking that everything was normal, the autonomous program automatically closed the cabin door and taxied on the airport runway.
At the beginning, the taxiing process of the aerospace fighter was not much different from that of an ordinary aircraft. Even the subsequent take-off process was very similar to a normal spacecraft ride.
But as the aerospace fighter continues to accelerate, this is no longer a speed that a normal aircraft can reach.
"The Divine Bird is really fast!"
Luo Wenkun and Lin Shi, who were riding in an aerospace fighter for the first time, felt the speed of the Shenniao and couldn't help but shout out loud.
"But even though it's fast, the stability is really not exaggerated. At a speed of several kilometers per second, there is no need to wear a seat belt, and there is no bumpy feeling at all. If you don't look at the scenery outside, it feels as stable as if you are on flat ground."
After everyone got used to the state in the aerospace fighter, they also understood why Xu You said just now that there is no need to worry at all in the aerospace fighter.
The rest of the driving work will be handled by artificial intelligence. All you need to do is pay attention to the status of the Shenniao from time to time to make sure there are no abnormalities.
When everyone relaxed, they started chatting.
"Wenkun, how do you feel after living in the underground shelter for a month?" Xu You asked.
"There is absolutely no problem in life. I can even accept it if I continue to live here. But I am not a homebody. I still hope to go out more and don't want to stay at home all the time."
"I think I can stay at home forever. I have everything I need anyway, so why should I go out? I can even bask in the sun at home." Lu Zhiyao said.
Lin Shi also agreed with Lu Zhiyao's point of view. Xu You listened to their discussion and said:
"Yes, everyone's acceptance of this kind of life is definitely different, so underground on the moon, there is not only an underground shelter, but also a new, complete world. With such a new world, it can be considered a complete human home."
