Chapter 434 The First Space Training

Beijing, the astronaut training center.

This vast space, with a history of more than 50 years, is the first time that the aerospace research institute is open to private individuals and welcomes the first 'client' to participate in the training.

As a black car drove into the gate and stopped in front of the control center building, there were instant curious glances from all directions.

Wei Kang got out of the car, followed by Jian Lianyun.

As soon as the two stood still, they saw a figure walking forward quickly.

This is a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a firm face, a calm temperament, and a trace of restraint in his enthusiasm, he stretched out his hand from a distance.

"Mr. Wei, I am Su Yang who is in charge of the reception, and I am also the instructor of the astronauts. Nice to meet you."

Wei Kang smiled slightly, very politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my wife, Jian Lianyun. I'll leave this training to you."

After the three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Su Yang took them around the entire training center to familiarize themselves with the venue and prepare mentally for the first training.

"It's a bit late today, let's take a rest first, familiarize ourselves with the environment, and start formal training tomorrow morning."

Su Yang gave the detailed itinerary one by one: "Generally speaking, before entering space, astronauts have to undergo three years of rigorous training. About a year and a half."

"Of course, they have a lot of training content. Mr. Wei, you only stay in the space station for a few days. You don't need such a long-term training. You only need to do aerospace-related training."

"It mainly includes three aspects, the first is weightlessness and overweight training, the second is spaceflight living environment training, and the third is emergency lifesaving training."

"The time is three months, seven days a month, and then another 14 days of intensive training before the rocket launch."

"Because this week is the first training, it is mainly general training, including a four-day course on flight knowledge, such as astronomy, geography, flight mechanics, rocket and spacecraft construction, necessary medical knowledge and rescue techniques, etc."

Speaking of this, he smiled: "Both are professionals in the pharmaceutical industry, and they should get full marks in medicine."

Wei Kang asked curiously: "Why is there still an exam?"

Su Yang nodded: "During the intensive training before the rocket launch, there will be a final assessment of the knowledge courses, and only those who pass can enter the next step."

Jian Lianyun looked forward to it, and was eager to try: "It's been a long time since I took the exam, so I'm really looking forward to it."

"Then there will be three days of simulated training, including spacecraft landing training, docking training, out-of-vehicle, out-of-vehicle and activities, recovery and lifesaving comprehensive exercises."

"Of course, the first simulation training will not have too in-depth content, mainly to let the two get familiar with the aircraft and flight procedures, and experience the weightless environment."

"The second training will be in-depth professional training, mainly to perform movement exercises in a weightless state, to enhance the two's tolerance to overweight, and at the same time improve the adaptability to the aerospace environment and life."

"The third training is similar to the previous two, except that the theoretical knowledge courses are missing, and life-saving training on ejection seats and lifesaving towers is added. Of course, there will also be wilderness survival training."

Jian Lianyun asked with some surprise: "Didn't it land directly at the space center? Why is there still field survival training?"

Su Yang said with a chuckle: "That's right, this is to deal with the emergency return of the manned spacecraft, or some special situations that occur on the way back. At this time, the return capsule may land in a deserted place, such as the vast sea, primeval forest Or deep in the desert."

"If it happens, you will not be able to communicate with the rescue personnel on the ground in time, so during the period of waiting for rescue, you must use your own life-saving knowledge and survival skills to save yourself."

"In the 60s, Maoxiong once had a manned spaceship returning to land, but it made an emergency landing in the birch forest of the Ural Mountains due to a breakdown. The two astronauts could only write distress signals in the snow while using their portable emergency pistol against wolves and bears, and a fire to keep out the cold."

"In the end, the well-trained astronauts got out of trouble by relying on their excellent survival skills, and waited for the rescuers."

"So that's it." The two looked at each other and suddenly realized.

"Don't worry too much. Mastering these knowledge and skills is mainly to improve your life-saving ability and psychological quality, so that you can be prepared. In fact, now that astronauts land in the wilderness, emergency situations at sea and in deserts will hardly occur."

"Understood." Jian Lianyun couldn't help but sighed: "It seems that it is really not easy to be an astronaut. We go up for three days and have to receive three months of training. They have to stay for several months and they need to receive three years of training." Training, there is much more to learn than us."

Wei Kang nodded in agreement and said, "It's true, it's all very hard. It's a devil's training. It's really not easy to become an excellent astronaut."

The next day, the two officially started training.

The flight knowledge class was okay, not too difficult. Both of them are highly educated talents with strong learning ability and memory, and they memorized all the knowledge points without much effort.

Not to mention medical common sense and first aid techniques.

These are instincts engraved in their bones. They already knew that the environment changed from the earth to space, and many steps and technologies needed to be changed.

On the fifth day, it is time to start weightless training.

Su Yang brought the two of them to a huge sink early in the morning.

The tank is 10 meters deep and 23 meters in diameter. It looks like a giant from a distance.

This is a neutral buoyancy tank that provides astronauts with simulated weightlessness training.

The underwater training model of the space station lies quietly on the bottom of the water.

You can carry out extravehicular activity training here, especially extravehicular operations such as extravehicular walking, extravehicular assembly and maintenance, and the effect is outstanding.

Of course, it was impossible for Wei Kang and the others to perform such advanced operations during their first training. This time they came here to experience the weightless environment.

The three put on the tank training suits, entered the tank, and slowly dived to the space station model at the bottom.

This model is made in 1:1 scale with the space station, very realistic.

Wei Kang was floating in the cabin, and everything in front of him felt very novel, and he had a feeling of being there, as if he had really arrived at the space station.

He was very excited, touching here and there, with a smile on his face.

Jian Lianyun was not so excited, but she couldn't help looking around, her eyes wide open.

Su Yang smiled at the side. He understood the excitement of ordinary people seeing a living space station for the first time. Even if it is just a model, it is an unforgettable experience in a lifetime.

When the emotions of the two gradually calmed down, the training began.

As an instructor, Su Yang's task is to decompose each movement, refine each posture, and help the two master the body movement in weightlessness, posture control, and activities inside and outside the cabin.

Including opening and closing the hatch, leaving and entering the cabin, walking inside and outside the cabin, etc.

The training time lasts 3-4 hours and is physically exhausting due to being in the water.

When it was over, Wei Kang already felt a little tired, as for Jian Lianyun, his face paled and he was out of breath.

"Hehe, it's the first time training. I'm definitely not used to it. It needs a process of adaptation. This training is equivalent to moderate physical labor on the ground. It's normal to feel tired."

Su Yang said thoughtfully: "Take a good rest at noon, and you can start later in the afternoon."

Wei Kang hammered his sore thigh and asked, "What training is this afternoon?"

Su Yang smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

After lunch, the two took a nap in the room, and then came to a laboratory.

On one side of the laboratory is the control console, and on the other side is the sunken space. There is a very strange device that looks like a metal ladle.

The handle of the spoon was nailed to the ground by a metal rod, and the spoon was constantly spinning around the metal rod, making a loud buzzing sound.

Wei Kang stood on it and looked at it for a while, feeling a little dizzy.

"This is a manned centrifuge. There is a manned cabin in the spoon. After a while, you can experience the feeling of being overweight after sitting in it."

Su Yang pointed to the centrifuge: "This is an overweight endurance and adaptive training. The purpose is to enable the astronauts to withstand a huge overload during the ascent and descent of the spacecraft, keep awake at all times, and be able to operate correctly."

"There are people inside right now, experiencing an overweight state."

Jian Lianyun looked at the centrifuge spinning at a high speed, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. After a while, he asked, "How big is this gravity?"

"8 times the acceleration of gravity."

"8 times!" Jian Lianyun suddenly exclaimed: "My God, can we bear such a large gravity?"

"No, ordinary people can only withstand a maximum of 3-4 times the acceleration of gravity, so the gravity you bear will gradually increase, starting with 1 or 2 times."

Su Yang smiled and explained: "The 8 accelerations of gravity are for astronauts, not for you, and the astronauts have to complete various technical actions in this situation, which is quite difficult."

While speaking, the centrifuge slowly stopped.

After a while, an astronaut walked out, rubbing his hands vigorously on his face as he walked.

Wei Kang glanced over and was startled, only to see that the other party's face was covered with tears, and the muscles on his face were also deformed.

Su Yang came over and explained in a low voice: "Under 8 times the gravity, the facial muscles will be severely deformed due to the strong pulling force, tears will flow out unconsciously, and at the same time, you will feel difficulty breathing, which is quite uncomfortable , it’s best for ordinary people not to try it lightly.”

The two nodded at the same time, feeling a little uneasy.

This centrifuge doesn't look good. Even with three or four times the gravity, it seems that it will make people very uncomfortable, leaving a deep memory that will last a lifetime.

Next, Wei Kang personally experienced the crazy power of a manned centrifuge.

When doubled, doubled, he can still hold on. When it is slowly increased to 4 times, he can no longer control his facial expressions. As for the snot and tears, he doesn't want to shoot like money. come out.

"Stop! Stop! I have to take my time!" After coming out, Wei Kang felt dizzy. Fortunately, someone supported him so that he didn't fall to the ground.

Jian Lianyun was no better than him, after he came out, his face was pale, his eyes were straight, and he had to be supported when he walked.

Sitting on the chairs, both of them still felt like the world was spinning.

"Too, it's too uncomfortable. I almost suspected that I would have a cerebral hemorrhage." Jian Lianyun panted.

"You can still use your brain, but my brain is completely blank." Wei Kang smiled wryly.

"The astronauts are still amazing. Under 8 times the gravity, they can still perform technical movements."

"Sure enough, you have to train for 3 years to meet their standards. Ours only trains for 3 months, and they can't do anything when they go up. They can only look around."

The two sighed for a long time before slowly returning to normal.

"Actually, your training results are already very good. It can be seen that your body is very good. You should have exercised at ordinary times."

Su Yang asked with a smile on the side. In fact, he was also very surprised. Others would have been crying for their father and mother and couldn't hold on, but Wei Kang was able to hold on to 4 times the gravity without losing his composure.

"Well, we usually like to run. We will run a few laps every morning and evening when we have nothing to do. Maybe our physical fitness is not bad."

"Teacher Su, I think the weightless training in the morning is better. The overweight experience in the afternoon is too sour. I don't know what training will be tomorrow?"

Thinking about the two days of devil training, Wei Kang couldn't help but start to worry.

"We still focus on weightlessness training in the morning. In fact, this centrifuge is nothing. There will be more sour ones tomorrow."

"What? Is there something more sour?" The two of them turned pale in shock.

"There is also a vestibular function training, which is to sit on an electric swivel chair, turn it up and down, left and right, and then distinguish the direction."

"What?" The two suddenly looked at each other, suddenly feeling ominous.

Sure enough, the next afternoon, they experienced this super sour feeling.

Wei Kang sat on a swivel chair, put on a blindfold, and fixed his head, feet and arms.

Then, the swivel chair began to spin crazily, sometimes quickly turning clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise, and at the same time swinging up and down, back and forth, just like a pendulum, and it was still an irregular pendulum.

He completely lost his sense of direction and balance, as if he had turned into a mouse hanging in mid-air, being tied by a rope and frantically swinging in all directions.

In an instant, Wei Kang felt a strong sense of dizziness, and his stomach felt nauseated.

He resisted the urge to vomit and persisted until the end.

After getting down, Wei Kang's whole body went limp, and he slumped on the chair.

"Oh my god, it's so uncomfortable, I feel like I'm sick."

Jian Lianyun stretched out his hand reflexively, rolled his eyelids, touched his forehead, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You are not sick, this is a special physiological reaction of people in a weightless environment, called space Motion sickness is similar to motion sickness and seasickness."

"Ms. Wei knows a lot more," Su Yang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Vestibular function training is mainly to prevent the occurrence of space motion sickness and reduce the symptom response. After you practice more, you will get used to it. By then Not only is it all right, but after a lot of ups and downs, you can immediately distinguish the north, south, east, and west."

"I can't do it anymore." Wei Kang said weakly: "This training is too exhausting. Fortunately, I am just a tourist in space, not a real astronaut."

"One more day, persistence is victory!" Jian Lianyun gently hugged Wei Kang, cheering him up.

"That's right, it won't be so uncomfortable after a few more visits."

Su Yang comforted: "Actually, you have performed very well. If you were replaced by other people, your health is not so good, and you are already tired."

Wei Kang nodded, thinking of the model of the space capsule, and remembering that he would be able to take off on a rocket in more than three months and realize his dream of looking at the earth from the universe, he suddenly became excited again.

Another day passed, and the week of training was finally over.

The two came here full of expectations, and returned with great ambitions.

After this training, I fully realized the hardships of ascending to the sky.

And when Wei Kang rested at home for a day and returned to the office again.

He got another piece of good news.

"Magnetic-controlled capsule gastroscope samples ready?"
