This star is going to the moon

Chapter 213 The Sacred Body of a Primordial Astronaut!
Lu Yun didn't come alone; in fact, he's currently an artist under Qimingxing Company, so Yan Xinxin, who is also his assistant, came along as well.

Of course, the current situation is that even the Morning Star doesn't dare to interfere with him; the relationship between the two can be described as... a quantum superposition state.

For Yan Xinxin, astronauts are also celebrities, even the most famous celebrities, and she can ask for autographs and photos with them.

After Lu Yun put on his training uniform, Yan Xinxin took several photos with her phone.

After staff at the Astronaut Training Center confirmed that there was no leak, she posted it on her studio's Weibo account.

Because Rowoon just announced that he would "send fans to the sky," more people are now paying attention to his activities.

Although the studio belongs to Qimingxing, everyone knows that Lu Yun is currently in a quantum superposition state with Qimingxing, so this studio's Weibo account basically belongs to Lu Yun.

Now, as soon as Yan Xinxin posts information, it immediately attracts a large number of people.

[Is this a training suit from the astronaut training center?]

Wait, I'm getting a little confused about the difference between virtual and reality. Is Lu Yun currently in the state of 'Wang Miao' from the TV series "The Three-Body Problem," or is he himself?

Although Wang Miao made significant contributions to the construction of the space elevator, the novel doesn't seem to mention him ever going to space. And even if the TV adaptation did show him going to space, shouldn't he at least wear a modern astronaut training suit?

That's him, isn't it?

[It's likely that Lu Yun previously mentioned wanting to travel to space aboard the Wooden Kite, so he would definitely need to undergo astronaut training.]

[They've just started recruiting astronauts and aerospace trainees, and Lu Yun is already wearing a training suit and undergoing astronaut training. Is he going to become the first commercial astronaut?]

[No, just how much work is Lu Yun carrying on his shoulders right now? Manned lunar rocket, Muyuan spacecraft, starship, and I even think there are some projects we don't know about, plus filming the "Three-Body Problem" TV series, and supposedly "The Wandering Earth 2" is in preparation, and now he has to do astronaut training, is there enough time...?]

Wow, now that you mention it, Lu Yun is practically a superman. Can a normal person do so much work at the same time?

Theoretically, it shouldn't be possible, but theory is theory, and now we have a real-world example right in front of us.

[Perhaps, maybe, or probably, this work isn't as busy as we imagine? After all, Lu Yun is the project leader; is he just setting the general direction while the specific tasks are done by his subordinates?]

No, no, no, this is scientific research, unlike other project leaders. The higher the research leader, the busier they are. A typical chief rocket designer is incredibly busy. I once participated in a rocket development project, and I watched as the chief designer went from having black hair to having gray hair from working overtime every day.

Perhaps Lu Yun really is a "superman," after all, he has truly created many miracles. I've heard that when Professor Qian was leading projects, he was incredibly energetic...

Yes, those successful people who have made a name for themselves in history always had something extraordinary about them...

………………

At the astronaut training center and the medical center, people were also marveling at Lu Yun's rough medical examination report.

Yang Liwei wanted Lu Yun to try the manned centrifuge with overgravity endurance, but he couldn't just put him on it right away. He first took Lu Yun's blood pressure and did an electrocardiogram.

Don't let Lu Yun's age of 26 fool you; there are quite a few young people whose health has deteriorated these days.

Especially to outsiders, Lu Yun's multiple jobs and high-intensity work schedule might pose a health risk.

However, when the test results came out, the medical staff found that Lu Yun was in excellent physical condition, and was both strong and healthy.

These two states may seem similar, but they are actually quite different. For example, athletes are certainly very strong, but their physical condition is not necessarily healthy.

For astronauts, health is the most important thing, because they have to cope with the space environment, which is different from Earth's gravity. Physical strength is a secondary consideration.

This is one of the reasons why women can also be astronauts.

Furthermore, many of the third batch of astronauts were scientists who were not physically strong.

Medical staff found that Lu Yun was healthy, strong, and most importantly, young.

Before he arrived, the youngest astronaut on site was from the third batch of candidates being selected, including those born in 1990. Lu Yun is three years younger than him.

Of course, whether it will work or not will only be known once the training equipment is in place.

"Director Yang, Lu Yun's physical condition is fine, and he can enter the manned centrifuge for overgravity endurance and adaptation training."

Upon hearing this, Yang Liwei personally led Lu Yun into the centrifugal training room, a circular room containing a peculiar device.

(Net map)
In the middle is a pivot, connected to an eight-meter-long swing arm, and at the very end is a manned cabin.

The training for endurance and adaptation to extreme gravity is the most profound memory for most astronauts.

The purpose of this training is to enable astronauts to withstand enormous G-forces during the ascent and descent of the spacecraft, remain alert, and operate correctly at all times.

The main equipment for G-force endurance and adaptation training is the manned centrifuge. In a high-speed rotating centrifuge, ordinary people can only withstand 3 to 4 times the acceleration of gravity, while astronauts have to withstand 8 times the acceleration of gravity.

What does 8 times mean?

It's equivalent to eight times your own weight pressing down on you.

During this training, astronauts' facial muscles are severely deformed due to the strong pulling force, tears flow involuntarily, and they experience difficulty breathing.

In addition, astronauts may experience cerebral ischemia, in which case they still have to perform various technical maneuvers.

For example, following instructions to do math problems or press different buttons.

After Lu Yun was seated, Yang Liwei asked, "The horizontal takeoff and landing of the Muyuan space shuttle are designed to reduce acceleration and increase passenger comfort. According to calculations, it should only be slightly heavier than a commercial airliner."

"The acceleration of a commercial airliner during takeoff is usually between 0.5 and 1.5, so how about we give you 2G first?"

Lu Yun checked the seat's condition and said, "Director Yang, you underestimate me. Those three kids on the variety show even tried 4G, and you're giving me 2G?"

"What do you say."

"My body is so healthy, and you said I'm a trainee astronaut, so let's start with 5G, and if there are no problems, we'll gradually upgrade to 8G!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Liwei looked at the medical staff, and after they nodded, he nodded in agreement.

After checking the equipment, he led his men to the control room and, upon receiving a signal from Lu Yun, started the centrifuge.

To be honest, Yang Liwei and the others were quite nervous because Lu Yun had a really heavy burden on his shoulders.

Lu Yun, on the other hand, looked at his data panel with a calm expression.

[Qigong Guidance Level 4 (2208/10000)]

The level 4 Qigong guidance technique not only made Lu Yun's mental state full of energy, but also his physical state.

As the centrifuge spun faster and faster, the G-force became heavier and heavier, and Lu Yun gradually felt his chest getting heavier and heavier, and his breathing began to become difficult.

After 5G was introduced, Lu Yun was able to handle the load, so he indicated that the load should be increased further.

The medical staff in the command center were watching his vital signs anxiously when they noticed something was wrong.

Initially, Lu Yun's vital signs were somewhat erratic, but after reaching a relatively prominent but not dangerous level, his vital signs gradually stabilized!

"This... he actually adapted?"

"Good heavens, what kind of innate astronaut physique is this...?"
