Chapter 1076: Return to the ground

The first thousand and three chapters return to the ground
"Forget it, I'll report the inspection to Mr. Zhao! It seems that this problem has to be solved by returning to the ground command center." Yang Chengwei was also helpless, so he had to think about it.
After that, Yang Chengwei quickly called Zhao Zhongyao again.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao!" Yang Chengwei picked up the phone and asked.
"I'm Zhao Zhongyao, Cheng Wei, how are you? Did you find the problem?" Zhao Zhongyao also quickly asked.
"No! I checked all the systems of the space capsule. There is no problem. Everything is normal." Yang Chengwei said again.
"Okay, then you don't have to worry about this. As long as everything in the space capsule is normal, we will start the third step of the plan after another hour. You will be able to go home soon."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that as long as there were no problems with the space capsule, it meant that the whole plan was still going well. As for the percussive sound, just treat it without it. Everything just goes according to plan.
"Well, if that's the case, then I don't want that thing either." Yang Chengwei also felt that since that matter, if no one can explain it, he doesn't have to think about him. Anyway, I can go home soon.
In this way, after another hour or so, the ground commander issued an instruction to return to the space capsule. The small rocket mounted in the tail of the space capsule ignited and started. The capsule began to deviate from its original orbit. Flew to the ground.
This is the most important link in the entire manned space program. Because the first two links are similar to launching satellites. Before, they all had such experience. But this third link is a completely new program. Never acted before.
Although several unmanned reentry capsule landing experiments have been conducted, there have also been space experiments carrying monkeys. But after all, they are not experimenting with real people. This time, real people are used to conduct manned spaceflight experiments! This feels different. To say, everyone thought in their hearts before that even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Then this time, there can be no mistakes.
Yang Chengwei is also a little nervous now. After all, he also knows that this link is a very risky link. If a space capsule weighing half a ton descends from the sky, the speed must be very fast.
If there is a problem in any link during the decline, the consequences may be unimaginable. Everything must proceed smoothly according to the plan to ensure the successful completion of this mission.
Zhao Zhongyao was also a little nervous. However, he knew that everything was the first time. Exploring space is inherently a risky thing. If you dare not do it, how can human beings step out of the earth and fly into the universe!
In order to comfort Yang Chengwei, Zhao Zhongyao also hastened to call him now.
"Cheng Wei, wait a while, the spacecraft will return. Don't worry, we will send you home safely. You won't have any problems. I hope you have confidence in us as well. Let's take this time together. The manned space mission was successfully completed." Zhao Zhongyao said these words to Yang Chengwei with concerned words.
Yang Chengwei was very moved when he heard these words. He knew that as long as Zhao Zhongyao cared, he would be fine. He will return to the ground smoothly.
"Mr. Zhao, don't worry! I'm not afraid at all. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't say, I can go home smoothly. Even if something happened and died for the country, so what. The manly man, Life as a master, death as a ghost, I am not afraid of anything now. You just need to proceed according to the plan."
Yang Chengwei listened to what Zhao Zhongyao said, so he said something to make Zhao Zhongyao rest assured.
In fact, Yang Chengwei is really very magnanimous now. He felt that what he did was a great thing. A person can do a great thing in his lifetime, that is enough. Even if you sacrifice your life for this great thing, what about it!
A great man said it is good that people are inherently dead, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. If a person achieves nothing in his life, he will live a life of mediocrity. Then he died. What's the point of that. A person may only live twenty years old. But if he did something big. If he sacrificed his life for this important event, his death would be very meaningful. It is a death heavier than Mount Tai. What is death right? Originally, it was a spiritual portrayal of some heroes who dared to sacrifice their lives for the great cause of the whole country or the nation.
A person may be very afraid of death in normal times. But once it is truly something that can be sacrificed for the country and for the benefit of the nation, then you may not be afraid of death. People may be selfish in normal times. But in a special environment, people's ideas and outlook on life and world will change.
For Yang Chengwei, that's it. He feels like a hero now. Since I regard myself as a hero, how can I fear death! For a hero, death is just a small matter.
Just when Yang Chengwei was thinking about it, he felt that the capsule had already started flying to the ground. And the speed is getting faster and faster. A feeling of weightlessness made Yang Chengwei feel a little uncomfortable.
But so far, nothing else has happened, and everything went smoothly. When the capsule progresses into the atmosphere. That's a little different. Due to the friction of the air, the temperature in the space capsule immediately soared.
Yang Chengwei suddenly felt a little hot. I was also a little nervous. But at this moment, another scene suddenly appeared that made him very scared. He suddenly saw a crack in the porthole glass of the space capsule. It seems to be crushed.
This time, Yang Chengwei was terrified.
"Ah, how could this happen? If this glass is broken, the high temperature outside will definitely swallow the entire space capsule. And I will become a steamed bun to be steamed by the high temperature.
Thinking of this feared result, Yang Chengwei was also frightened. He is not afraid of death. But thinking of this painful way of death made him shudder.
Although he was very scared, Yang Chengwei still hoped that the commanders on the ground could give himself some solutions.
"Mr. Zhao, the glass in the space capsule is about to break, and I may be finished." Yang Chengwei reported this to Zhao Zhongyao very nervously.
Zhao Zhongyao was also surprised when he heard Yang Chengwei's words. He hurriedly asked: "Chengwei, are you sure that the glass is about to break! The glass of the space capsule is not ordinary glass, but special high-strength glass. It is not only very strong. It can also withstand high temperatures!"
"Yes--but I obviously saw that the outside of the glass was beginning to crack!"
Yang Chengwei said while looking at the porthole glass of the space capsule. But what made him feel strange was that the glass on the outer layer seemed to be broken, while the inner layer was still fine. Nothing has changed. And the temperature in the space capsule dropped suddenly. It's not as hot as before.
"Cheng Wei, don't worry, I guess, what you see may be that the insulating layer outside the glass of the porthole of the space capsule is broken. It doesn't matter, there is no problem with the glass inside."
Zhao Zhongyao thought about the question Yang Chengwei said, and he felt that the layer of thermal insulation material outside the porthole of the space capsule might be broken. Because, it must be considered that when the space capsule returns to the atmosphere, it will rub against the atmosphere and generate high temperatures.
Although the glass of the space capsule is already very strong. Can withstand very high temperatures. But for safety's sake, another layer of insulating material was applied to the outside of the glass. In this way, when the space capsule enters the atmosphere, even if it is subjected to high temperatures caused by friction with the atmosphere, it will not cause any damage to the portholes of the space capsule. After all, the portholes of this space capsule are also very important. If this porthole breaks, the astronauts inside will not be in danger.
When Zhao Zhongyao said so, Yang Chengwei was relieved again. Because, he took a closer look at the porthole glass again. The whole glass is good. It just looks like it's broken on the outside. And the inner layer is good.
"Mr. Zhao, it turned out to be like this! Okay, I looked at the porthole glass again, and it turned out to be fine. Don't worry! It's okay." After Yang Chengwei checked the porthole glass, he quickly gave it to Zhao Zhongyao. Returned a bit.
"Okay, the parachute will be opened soon, the speed of the space capsule will drop, and you will not feel uncomfortable." Zhao Zhongyao said to Yang Chengwei again.
"Okay, I'm fine. As long as everything is normal." Yang Chengwei said again.
"Okay, we are about to launch an umbrella opening command soon." After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Then, asked the staff to launch an instruction to open a parachute to the space capsule.
Yang Chengwei suddenly felt that the speed of the capsule's descent was slowing down. He knew that the first main parachute outside the capsule had been opened.
After feeling that the speed of the capsule's descent was slow, Yang Chengwei felt more at ease. After all, as long as this one main parachute is open. Then he is safer. Under the control of this main parachute, it is impossible for the space capsule to rush to the ground at a very fast speed. It will definitely decline at a relatively slow rate.
When the space capsule descended to more than 10,000 meters above the ground, the auxiliary parachute also opened. The descending speed of the capsule is further reduced. Yang Chengwei now feels safer. He knew that he would go home smoothly.
There are already many staff members who have arrived at the landing site of the space capsule. There are not only staff, but also some media reporters. After all, Yang Chengwei has become a big star now. When he comes back, he must first face the camera and tell the audiences all over the country how he felt about flying for the first time.
It was the deserted Gobi desert 500 kilometers away from the capital. In normal times, no one will come here. It is a place off the beaten track.
But now it has become an extremely lively place. Hundreds of people came to this place to see the scene of China's first astronaut returning from the sky.
Although the space capsule is still 10,000 meters from the ground. But everyone has already seen a small black spot falling from the sky, slowly getting bigger and bigger.
The space capsule is only more than 3,000 meters above the ground. Everyone has seen an entire space capsule from the ground. Everyone can see the two parachutes above clearly. One is on the top, very huge. One is below, much smaller than the top.
"Well, the capsule is back."
"Our astronauts are going home."
All the audience friends and the media reporters were very excited. After all, this is the most amazing scene they have seen in their lives. An astronaut returned to the ground after traveling for two days from an altitude of hundreds of kilometers.
Considering that there is a little danger in the landing of the capsule. The staff on the ground, as well as some armed police fighters, kept these onlookers within a safe range and kept them from getting too close to the landing site of the capsule.
Now this space capsule carrying the dreams of thousands of people finally fell from the sky. It just hasn't reached the ground yet. It is almost a hundred meters above the ground now.
Yang Chengwei is very happy now. He knew that he could return home safely. This fertile soil for him to be born and raised is about to accept him. He will soon return to the arms of Mother Earth.
The onlookers and staff, as well as the media reporters, were also very happy. There are many cameras whose lenses have been aimed at the space capsule that has fallen from the sky. Live this precious landing shot to all the audience watching this great moment in front of the TV.
Now the space capsule is only a few meters from the ground. Everyone held their breath and wanted to watch the capsule fall to the ground smoothly.
When the space capsule is only one meter from the ground. The small thrust reverse rocket mounted on the bottom of the space capsule suddenly ignited. This scene, but everyone did not expect. Because, in addition to professionals. I don't know that this space capsule will have such a hand at such a height.
For a while, everyone was shocked. I don't know what happened. I also wondered if something was wrong with the space capsule.
"Hey, what's the matter, there is a problem with the space capsule."
"Yes! Why is there a fire under this space capsule!"
"If something goes wrong, it's okay, it's so close. What are you afraid of."
"Yes! We don't have to worry. Our astronauts have arrived home!"
All the audience friends are worried about this, and feel that there will be no serious problems.
