326 I can sit forever
The first official contact with Reston was neither good nor bad.
Li Changheng wanted to see the license to start a Rockets company, or the possibility of obtaining a license, so he would first throw out millions of dollars.
Otherwise, no matter how much money you throw in, you will be wasted.
For Reston, Li Changheng used the moon landing to threaten him, which made him embarrassed.
I was wondering if I could just use landing on the moon to arouse his interest.
However, the only thing Reston and some of the people behind him is that.
He made tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in more than two years, and he was only 20 years old.
It is definitely easier to cooperate and fool than those consortiums or military-industrial groups.
After all, in their opinion, Li Changheng is indeed extremely smart, but young people are more curious about new things than middle-aged and elderly people.
Unfortunately, this group of people never imagined that no matter how they portray the future of commercial rockets, Li Changheng, who had long known the general trend of the future, was not as easy to fool as they thought.
Even as soon as they enter a new company, they may find that their research direction has nothing to do with space.
Instead, Li Changheng used it as a research and development tool, and helped the boss make money first before he could have the funds to study the space field.
Otherwise, he would not be foolish in helping the Americans improve their technological level.
I won't do losing money.
The only thing that made him willingly give was probably Anne and the children of the future.
When I think of Anne, I think that if I really become an astronaut, I will be asked to live in the Officer's Villa community in the Houston base.
Although according to Jim, personal freedom will not be restricted, and there will be weekend holidays.
But it is not that easy to go abroad.
Maybe you can ask Anne if she is willing to live in, or live in Long Island, and fly back on weekends.
In other words, I want to buy a P51 Mustang without a weapon system, and a simple runway and maintenance will be built in the manor on Long Island to store a hangar.
The Mustang can easily buy the road by just looking for Lieutenant Colonel Scott from the National Guard.
Even a complete set of maintenance equipment, spare parts, and even engines are fine.
After all, I bought it once last year.
And the hangar is even simpler.
After several consecutive calls, Scott asked him to send the plane and equipment to Virginia, the base of the Suicides.
Then call someone to repair the runway and hangar at Long Island Manor.
The afternoon's three-dimensional rolling ring test is to put it bluntly to test astronauts' anti-stun test.
When the spacecraft is in space, it is likely to have a dangerous situation of spinning and rolling.
If you cannot stay awake, you will not be able to calmly find a solution to the problem while the spacecraft is rolling.
This kind of test has actually been trained for pilots.
Fighters not only need to roll when necessary, avoiding egg guides or machine guns.
Even when flying on the side of the fighter plane will cause constant changes in the earth and the sky, which will easily make people feel dizzy.
Li Changheng did not hide at the end this time, but applied for the test first.
Sitting on the pilot's special driving chair, fasten the seat belt, and make sure you are completely fixed to the chair.
Nodded to astronaut director Dick Reston.
When the instrument is started, Li Changheng's body first rolls back and forth. This kind of roll can support a lot of time for normal people.
But when the body begins to roll over, the body suddenly rolls diagonally behind.
Or when the body is halfway, with your feet facing up and head facing down, and suddenly rolling slanted again, the human body's senses are instantly disrupted.
The dizziness hits the back of the head, and then the body feels weak, cold sweats, and the head is heavy and the feet are light.
Moreover, the longer the time is, the more illusion the body begins to feel time.
In addition, this three-dimensional rolling ring test is actually different from other tests.
Li Changheng, who felt that he was beginning to get dizzy, spent some time looking for a timer while his body was constantly flipping.
But I saw that there was no electronic timer at the scene, but Reston and two guys in white coats stood together with three stopwatches to check the time.
nm.
Been calculated.
Li Changheng instantly understood that Reston realized that he had not done his best in the first two tests.
So, this time the three of them were together, each holding a stopwatch to check the timing.
Li Changheng, who had already begun to feel confused about time, simply closed his eyes and ignored it.
This kind of test of anti-vertigo by turning around is that even if you sit on the instrument for a long time, at most, the sensitivity of the inner ear is too low.
More than ten minutes later, the people present were shocked first, and then they began to feel numb and bored.
Normally, three-dimensional circles are much more difficult than rolling back and forth. Some of the pilots present can only last for about 5 minutes, and they will feel a strong sense of vomiting.
So many people completely extinguished their desire to compete with him when they were sitting in the instrument and looked like they didn't react at all.
When the time came fifteen minutes, Reston had to nod to the two test officers, and then signaled to stop the three-dimensional rolling ring.
15 minutes is already the best score among active astronauts, and it doesn't make any sense to continue testing.
The first astronaut to land on the moon lasted for more than 8 minutes.
Li Changheng, who was closing his eyes and relaxing his mind, felt the dizziness gradually disappearing, quickly felt that the speed of the circle was decreasing.
After the instrument stopped completely, he sat in the pilot's chair and waited for ten seconds before he untied his seat belt, jumped out of the chair as if nothing had happened, and signed his name on the transcript.
Then he left the test site of the three-dimensional rotation ring directly.
He didn't want to stay here, and then he saw someone who was gritting his teeth and insisting, and suddenly vomited.
This is also the reason why he was anxious to be the first to do the test.
The subsequent weightlessness and claustrophobia test will be quite difficult.
Although you are not locked up directly in a small black room, being locked in a simulated command cabin makes you lose weight, which is indeed more terrifying than locking up a small black room.
Fortunately, the excellence dividing line is 104 hours.
This time happened to be Apollo 11. From entering the Earth orbit to entering the Moon orbit, and then orbiting the moon in the Moon, I found the time to land, and the time for the lunar module to officially separate from the command module.
Therefore, although the claustrophobic test was dark throughout the whole process, there were still problems encountered by Apollo 11, 12, and even 13 when flying to the moon.
Then there are some simple instructions that will be executed by the tester.
As long as there is no sound and nothing to do, 4 days and 8 hours are not as difficult as I imagined.
Even because of the existence of simulated instructions, some testers have become a problem when sleeping.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Changheng.
Anyway, he followed the schedule to perform his work and rest time throughout the whole process.
The only problem is going to the bathroom.
When Li Changheng thought of the process, he himself was unwilling to continue to recall.
On September 5, 2019, he was checking the renovation of his own estate in Long Island, New York.
Looking at Jim, Jack, Fred, and walked in with smiles on his face and said.
Chapter completed!
