: Seventy-seventh look into the deep sky

"Fives!"
"four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"One!"
"zero!"
"ignition!"
Light blue arcs of light projected from the end of the flared wings to the back of the sky plane.
Dragging a long, narrow blue plume, the Xiaguang launched from the Jinling Space Launch Center, disappeared at the end of the cloud under the attention of all the ground staff, engineers, and commanders of the launch center.
The launch plan went smoothly.
After leaving the troposphere, Xiaguang's pair of short and thick ailerons slowly rotated, which lowered the angle of the jet port connected to the end of the wing and gradually stretched the direction of the nose.
At the same time, the azure plume behind the wing gradually enlarged, and began to work directly against gravity, pushing Xiaguang to draw a tangent to the earth and fly to the boundless deep space outside the ground.
Time passes by every minute.
After nearly an hour of flight, the Xiaguang finally lived up to expectations, steadily broke through the edge of the dense section of the atmosphere, reached low-earth orbit, and began a 72-hour orbital flight.
Sitting in the cockpit, the test pilot Xu Zhenghong from the main cockpit took a close look at the orbit height on the instrument, the surface temperature of the spacecraft, and other data.
After confirming that everything is normal, his expression has been taut, and he finally relieved.
This is his 57th test flight mission and also the highest flight he ever made. When he was in the test pilot group before, he never thought he would one day drive the plane out of the atmosphere.
Until one day, the superior of the army found him, and arranged for him a test flight of the Xiaguang ...
Although the plane is equipped with an escape capsule, only the genius knows if that thing will work.
Reaching out to open the automatic cruise mode, Xu Zhenghong then disconnected the spacesuit from the cabin and the environmental control life insurance system. Finally, he reached out and pressed down on the side of the helmet, taking a deep breath.
"Here is Xiaguang. We have successfully reached our target orbit and asked for further instructions."
A string of noisy currents came from the communication channel.
As the communication signal stabilized, a response from the ground command center soon came.
"... Here is the ground command. Congratulations on your successful completion of the first flight test exercise. Please maintain the orbital altitude and continue the flight for two hours. The next flight test exercise will begin in two hours."
Xu Zhenghong: "Received, has entered cruise mode."
Sitting in the co-pilot position, Liu Biao, who also unlocked the ring-controlled life insurance system, reached out and loosened the connection at the helmet of the space suit, and cast his gaze on the space outside the cockpit, smiling.
"The scenery is pretty good here."
Looking at the little sparks below the clouds and the deep universe above that spark, Xu Zhenghong smiled and replied.
"Yes."
This is probably the most beautiful scenery he has ever seen.
At this moment, a distant place, a silver spacecraft slowly climbed up to the edge of the dense section of the atmosphere.
Looking intently towards the other side, Liu Biao sitting in the front passenger seat narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That is?"
"It should be Space-X's BFR spacecraft. I heard that they also launched today," glanced at the comrade-in-arms sitting next to him and said, "Your eyes are strange, this is what you saw."
After being captivated by the captain, Liu Biao smiled embarrassedly.
"Do you want us to say hello to them in the past?"
Xu Zhenghong: "Good idea, you can ask the ground command center to see what the commander says."
Liu Biao touched the back of his head with an awkward expression, and said, "Uh, I'm just joking about the atmosphere, don't take it seriously."
Xu Zhenghong paused for a moment and said.
"Joke is almost enough, rest for 10 minutes, and then start working."
Liu Biao sitting in the co-pilot immediately straightened his waist.
"Yes!"
...
At the same time, the other side of the track.
Just as Xiaguang discovered the BFS spacecraft, the BFS spacecraft also found them.
Although neither side is equipped with a radar dedicated to detecting spacecraft, because it has exactly the same orbital height and the distance is not particularly far, it can be seen at a glance.
Watching the silver spacecraft outside the porthole drift away, Taiwei, leaning on the seat, suddenly said.
"According to the tradition of the Marine Corps, should we write down the mailbox on paper and paste it on the window."
Johnson raised his eyebrows and joked.
"The Marine Corps doesn't have this tradition, it's the Air Force ... and I guess even if we do this, they can't see it so far apart."
"That's what it said." Taiwei muttered to himself, and didn't speak again.
Unlike the two big men, Jones, who was sitting on the other side of the spacecraft, was completely attracted by the azure planet behind the spacecraft.
Looking out of the porthole for a long time, Jones sighed softly: "Beautiful scenery ..."
Taking a look at Jones, Tyvie also cast his gaze out the window and hummed.
"Yes, the scenery here is amazing."
"Speaking of which we are all trained at different training bases, we only met two weeks before the launch mission started," Johnson stared at the two people staring out the window, grinning suddenly, "I mean Yes, why don't we talk? "
Withdrawing his gaze from the porthole, Tyvie cast a questioning look at him: "What are you talking about?"
"Talk about life, talk about dreams, talk about why we are sitting here, why sign up for Mars ... oh damn, if there is a bottle of whiskey here." Johnson touched his head a little bit distressed, made a funny Emoji said.
Jones whispered: "Living supplies must be unlocked after landing ... I heard it during training."
Instead of focusing on those trivial questions, Taiwei answered his previous sentence.
"Don't these things have been said on the show?"
Johnson shrugged and made a helpless expression.
"Only I said it, you haven't."
Tev hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't answer the question, but instead looked at Jones.
"Lady first."
"Huh? Me? I ..." Jones glanced a little, then gave a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, I hope you don't laugh at me after I say that, because I am emotional A little question ... "
Johnson: "Emotional issues? Break up? Divorce? Or ... oh sorry, I shouldn't be asking ---"
"It's a breakup," Jones continued for a while, and continued. "Maybe it doesn't look like much to you, but it hurts me a lot. I want to pick myself up and live somewhere else."
Tywin raised his eyebrows and asked a little unbelievably: "And then, at this time, did you see the recruitment advertisement planned by Ares?"
"Yes," Jones continued with a slightly reluctant smile on his face, and continued. "It's surprising, isn't it? My colleagues are stunned, and no one thought I was chosen ... … The Immigration Department quickly approved my application, and Space-X even reimbursed my ticket from Amsterdam to the United States. I later thought about it and thought it was good, so ...

Seeing no idea how to express it, Jones shrugged and ended the topic bluntly, "Anyway, I'm sitting here now."
"It's too exaggerated ..." Taiwei looked at Jones a little disbelievingly, and muttered, "If it was going to run so far just because of a breakup, I'm afraid I've flew outside the solar system."
"Stop, don't say such unlucky words," Johnson patted Tyvey's shoulder. "Our lady has finished speaking, it's your turn now. I've always been curious about what makes a football field The quarterback became an astronaut. "
Finally faced this problem.
Taiwei hesitated, and finally gave up with a shrug.
"Because ... the debt problem."
Johnson looked at him in surprise: "Credit card?"
"That's right ..." Tai Wei looked away slightly subtly.
Johnson smiled cheerfully and patted his shoulder encouragingly.
"Haha, there are no nasty bills on Mars, you're relieved now."
Tai Wei smiled from the bottom of her heart, but did not answer.
Jones glanced at him, and the woman's instincts told her that the guy didn't tell the truth, or didn't finish it.
At least, the reason for his participation in this plan is certainly not just the debt issue.
Compared to Jones, Johnson didn't pay attention to these details. He just didn't think Taiwei really wanted to continue this topic, so he didn't delve into this aspect.
A person's past is not important ~ EbookFREE.me ~ What is important is how he faces the future.
Now that they are sitting here, they are teammates and a team, and they have to face all the problems together ...
The conversation box gradually opened, and the atmosphere gradually became familiar.
Looking at the two teammates who recovered and cheerful, Johnson nodded with satisfaction.
As the "captain" of this flight, Columbus sailing to the New World, in addition to being responsible for professional operations, he also had to be responsible for coordinating the mental state of his teammates.
After all, for almost two months, I had to squat in this small and compact manned spacecraft. This feeling is not much better than going to jail.
Time passed minute by minute, the blue planet behind it, and the spacecraft that had long since disappeared, have gradually left them.
In this way, with a longing for the new continent and a longing for a better future, the BFS spacecraft leaving synchronous orbit sailed into a dark space and flew towards the fiery red planet ...
