Chapter 544

……

At the moment, NASA headquarters is located at the National Space Center in Washington, D.C.

Numerous correspondents from major media, mainstream media and scientific journals all gathered here.

Charles Bohr, who has great scenery, officially announced NASA's "Mars program" and a series of regulations to the world at the reception. Among them, Charles announced the exact date of Noah's departure for the first time at the press conference, that is, five days later, Noah will officially leave earth orbit.

As soon as the news became a global sensation, the United States was boiling.

"The United States of America will usher in a new era for mankind, and the era of large space will officially begin. As the saying goes, the goal of our mankind is the Starry Sea..." ——The New York Times.

"We live in a magnificent era. If CNSA and NASA have opened a new era and a new pattern of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, then Noah has officially pushed this era to the highest level. Maybe we can announce that the great space age has officially arrived..." ——Nature magazine.

"We have to say that space exploration is a real gold gobbler, not to mention that CNSA or CMSX's" Gemini project "costs nearly 600 billion US dollars. Even NASA's Mars mission is more than $100 billion. Space exploration competes with a country's economic strength, scientific and technological level and comprehensive national strength. Obviously, this will only appear in the hands of superpowers, and there are only two countries, China and the United States, that can satisfy this series of extremely demanding countries. " ——The times

"the rivalry between superpowers is no longer limited to one planet, but the whole universe. The winner of this Mars competition is still unknown. We will wait and see..." ——Global daily news

For a while, the global media rushed to report the news, whether on the Internet or on television, broadcast the news at different times. The United States is even more ebullient, because the team that started the Mars journey for the first time is from the United States, which is extremely proud. The media in North America praise it wildly, and the lines are filled with excitement and pride.

The whole United States spent every day in such excitement, counting the minutes and seconds waiting for the final journey. The global vision focused on Noah. This time, there will be five astronauts on the Noah spacecraft. The entire spacecraft, including Orion spacecraft and its Mars sentinel base, has reached an astonishing 700 tons, with a full load of 970 tons, almost breaking four figures.

Five days later, the world's much anticipated moment has officially arrived, and the most exciting moment in the United States is about to arrive, and all parties have gathered their views.

In the sky, Noah, which stays 589.7km away from the earth's surface, is about to start the first journey to Mars on behalf of mankind. In order to expand its influence, NASA has also participated in the plan. Alphabet has specially mobilized a google satellite to monitor the event.

Google satellite equipped with high-definition camera, the world saw the "Noah" for the first time.

The real appearance of Noah is like a huge gyro shaped object, with the highest diameter of 180 meters. The central part of the huge ring-shaped object seems to be a giant rocket fixed in the center, with a total length of 132 meters. Six trusses are fixed with columns in the middle, and then connected to a ring structure with a diameter of 180 meters. Three of the six trusses are fixed The other three are passage chambers. The outer ring with a diameter of 180 meters is the centrifugal chamber, that is, the centrifugal gravity manufacturing chamber, where artificial gravity can be generated.

In the center, similar to the "cylindrical rocket", there are three large balls at the end, which are fuel storage and propulsion engine. There is also a nuclear reactor. At the end, there is a super large engine nozzle with a diameter of more than 17 meters.

And at the front end is a 37 meter long bullet shaped object, which is the Orion spacecraft, which is a manned spacecraft landing on Mars.

Noah is composed of five main parts: the central core module, the centrifugal module fixed on the core module, the Orion spacecraft in the front end, the sentinel base and the propulsion system at its end. The whole contour is like a gyroscopic object, and like a large tire with a shaft inserted in the middle.

At this moment, at the time of the "Noah" expedition, google satellite is maintaining a relatively consistent speed and stable distance with the aircraft, and is conducting live global coverage of Noah.

Soon, people on earth saw that Noah's centrifuge chamber began to move, and gradually began to rotate clockwise, and the speed became faster and faster. After the rotation, the most peripheral area of the centrifuge chamber will produce the relatively maximum artificial gravity.

"Three G's (PS: gravity, non gravity acceleration, here is oral)..."

People watching the live broadcast heard the voice of the astronauts on board Noah reporting that the centrifugal force was increasing."Seven g...."

When the gravity in the centrifuge chamber reached the same level as the gravity on earth, Noah stopped its accelerated rotation.

I saw an astronaut floating in the channel of the core module, slowly flew to a cabin interface and opened the door. His position was one of the three channels leading to the centrifugal chamber. He adjusted his body, and his legs first entered the channel chamber instead of his head. In the 78 meter long straight passage, there was a ladder of the same length. This astronaut had both hands Hold both ends of the ladder.

When he entered the passage, he could clearly feel the gravity anomaly. His head was light and his feet were heavy. He could feel a force that had sucked him down. Soon, he grasped the smooth columns at both ends of the ladder with both hands, and the whole person went down to the bottom of the passage, and the speed was faster and faster.

The more downward, the higher the centrifugal force, and the faster the descent speed. When he came to the half part of the passage, he could no longer feel weightlessness, and his body could no longer float. This was when his feet stepped on the ladder and went down step by step.

When he stepped on the floor of the centrifuge chamber, he felt the same gravity as the earth, and he could walk freely on it.

"Scovo, I see you ~!"

In the front part of the aircraft, in the central control module, another astronaut looked down the window. He saw the ring-shaped centrifugal chamber in the rear. In the upper window, his colleague was standing there. However, in his eyes, the colleague was upside down, his head was down, as if he had been suspended. The other side was waving to him, but the rotating centrifugal chamber let both of them go Fang disappears into each other's view.

"The channel has been worked out!"

"Thruster ready!"

“…… Report over, Houston! "

"This is Houston. Let's go! I wish you all the best

"Go
