Chapter 530 A New Historical Milestone: Building a Community of Shared Future for Humanity in Outer Space

Dongfeng Space Airport, 13th.

The five crew members who will travel into space aboard the "Xiancha" are ready.

First is the pilot, Chen Dong, who was part of the second batch of astronauts and carried out the Shenzhou-11 and Shenzhou-14 missions.

He is 44 years old this year, in his prime, with rich experience and a very strong learning ability. He is the number one in the training for piloting the Xiancha and has actually been to space in the Xiancha during his training.

Then there was a manager from the China National Space Administration, none other than Yang Liwei, China's first manned spaceflight pilot.

He is now in the management of the space agency, in charge of the manned spaceflight program, and is the deputy chief designer of the program.

He will give a presentation to Tian Shu after entering the space station.

It has been almost 20 years since he first went into space, and he had no chance to go into space again during that time. This time he finally did.

Another person was a media worker who was responsible for recording the entire space inspection.

Lu Yun goes without saying; he represents the private space program.

This spaceflight mission was also broadcast live, since the mission was aimed at increasing global influence, and it certainly couldn't be missed.

Before this mission began, many professional missions had estimated the impact, but everyone underestimated it.

Many countries have organized professional teams to watch and analyze the entire process, and some countries' presidents even participate directly in the analysis meetings.

For example, although he was supposed to be on vacation, after listening to the briefing that day, he flew directly back to Peanuts, and then appeared at NASA headquarters today to participate in the entire live-streamed analysis meeting.

Of course, this information is kept secret from the outside world.

After all, Old Deng didn't care about natural disasters within the Federation and insisted on taking a vacation. However, he gave up his vacation to pay full attention to Old Zhong's Tian Shu going into space. How do people in the Federation view this?
So he went back to Peanut Village, but left a stand-in on the beach... to take a vacation for him.

Sometimes, Deng would lament how this had happened during his term.
It's all that blondie's fault!
Fortunately, they are already in the green garlic and golden retriever area.

As long as the green garlic feeds the golden retriever, everything will be alright.

He will be the same old Biden again for the next term, and the Democratic Party's record for consecutive terms will be extended once more.

"Your Excellency, the process has begun over there..."

Old Deng, who was deep in thought, was reminded and began to focus his attention on the live broadcast.

The live stream Old Deng was watching had its chat disabled, and it was an English-language stream broadcast by Americans themselves, so he had no idea how lively the chat was.

[It's starting, it's starting!]

[This live stream time is perfect, it starts at 9 AM on Saturday!]

Haha, we're perfectly on time, but the foreigners aren't.

There's nothing we can do; it's our own event. If they want to coordinate the timing, they can just organize their own.

I'm studying abroad in the US, and Friday nights are the time there, so it's not too bad.

[It's not working for me; a lot of people are staying up all night to watch it.]

[I've seen a lot of comments, and many people think this is an absolutely historic moment that they definitely can't miss, and they'll stay up all night to watch it.]

That's quite true; human history might very well be heading down a new path from today.

[There have been many similar dividing lines or forks in the road in history, and I've missed them all. This time, I absolutely can't miss it!]

【I want to witness a new history!】 At the Dongfeng Space Airport, although the number of flights of the Xiancha spacecraft is still small, and the number of tests is less than ten, the "Muyuan" and "Lingji Yidong" spacecraft of the same model have already flown dozens of times, and are even rapidly approaching the record of 100 flights.

With extensive operational experience from the Binhai Space Airport, the Dongfeng Space Airport is also very well-established, so the Xiancha took off precisely at 9:30.

At 9:10, the five-person crew made their appearance, instantly filling up a lot of camera memory. After saying a few words, they entered the cabin of the Fairy Cha.

After all, the majority of today's speech was about space.

At 9:30, after a final check and finding no problems, the Xiancha took off again from the runway of Dongfeng Space Airport.

Although similar scenes have appeared many times not only on Chinese and Lao soil, but now also in the Middle Eastern deserts, all viewers know that this time is different.

Just like in places unseen by ordinary people, a radar base is closely monitoring every corner of the sky.

Fighter jets scrambled from an air force base to maintain alert.

The Space Force base mobilized a large amount of satellite data to ensure the safety of the Xiancha spacecraft's spaceflight.

Of the five people in the cabin of the Xiancha, three had been to space, but only Lu Yun and Chen Dong had been to space in the Muyuan-class space shuttle, so the other three had different experiences.

Yang Liwei had only ridden in the Shenzhou spacecraft before, almost twenty years ago, and the acceleration and vibration he felt back then were already somewhat unreal. He never expected to feel acceleration and vibration in space while riding the Xiancha... it felt even more unreal.

Tian Shu and the reporter had never been to space, but they had heard about the acceleration and vibration of manned spacecraft, and also about the feeling of riding the Muyuan-class space shuttle. But the feeling after riding it themselves was indeed different.

Although the Xiancha was highly automated and required virtually no pilot intervention, Chen Dong still focused intently on observing all the data.

After all, he knew who the passengers on this trip were.

So he didn't say anything else except report the data the whole time.

Lu Yun was more direct, asking, "How was it? Was it the same as what I said before, similar to the experience of flying on a civil aviation aircraft?"

“Haha, that’s true,” Tian Shu laughed. “Xiao Lu, the space shuttle you developed is fantastic. It lowers the barrier for humans to enter space and is a powerful tool that will lead humanity into the space age.”

Lu Yun said somewhat embarrassedly, "You flatter me. Actually, at first I just intended it to make it easier for myself to go to space."

Yang Liwei chimed in, "This is no exaggeration, Lu Yun. Being able to meet the needs of more people while satisfying your own needs is a remarkable achievement."

"At the very least, I have to thank you for letting me go into space again!"

They were chatting happily when they all felt a sudden release in their bodies, as if they would float away if they weren't strapped in. That's when they knew they had entered space.

Lu Yun was quite familiar with space and the Muyuan-class space shuttle, as well as with this "Xiancha", so he was the first to unbuckle his seatbelt after Chen Dong confirmed that there were no problems.

He floated to the side of Tian Shu and said, "Please look over here. You can see our country's coastline from here."

Because the Xiancha spacecraft took off from Dongfeng Space Airport in western Laos and China, it was positioned above the eastern border of Laos and China when it entered space.

Space shuttles that take off from the coastal space airport are not suitable; by the time they enter space, the Pacific Ocean is already below them.

Tian Shu stared blankly at the beautiful scenery of Earth below, lost in thought.

In fact, modern people can easily see Earth from a space perspective, whether it's taken from a space station or a satellite, from various angles and altitudes.

But when someone is actually watching from space, it's a completely different experience.

"Leaving the cradle of Earth is a long-term plan for mankind, and I have personally experienced it today. It is indeed true."

He said, "Therefore, mobilizing countries around the world and leveraging the power of the people to allow more people to enter space, experience space, and look back at the cradle of Earth is perhaps an essential part of 'building a community with a shared future for mankind in outer space'..."
