I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"How long will it take for the Forward space station to be built?"

"It's coming, it's coming..."

On the Forward space station, Hu Dong, the commander of the Storm, was having video communication with the ground, and the person he was communicating with was Guo Fan.

Although Director Guo Da is in the entertainment industry, he is also well-known in the base. Many engineers were more or less involved in the prop design or concept setting of "The Wandering Earth" in their spare time. The filming of this film has gone through a period of time. The movie has been recognized for many years as being an extremely ambitious science fiction film.

The length of the movie is expected to be close to or even exceed 200 minutes. Guo Fan is debating whether to split it into upper and lower parts, otherwise it may not be appropriate to release it during the Lunar New Year.

But the shooting part is almost complete, and the next step is special effects production and editing.

Of course, there is also the part of shooting in space that has been promoted by the crew to the point of going abroad. The crew is secretly competing for how many people can go up there.

The number of people must not be too large, with a maximum of seven people, but Guo Fan has decided to shoot all the content of the Navigator Space Station in the movie in space, so it seems that it will not work if the number of people is too small, so he can only temporarily recruit extras—— For example, astronauts flying in space.

Hu Dong believes that the space station can be completed as soon as October to November, and there will be at least 10 launch missions. There is a chance that it will be his crew's turn.

Guo Fan: "7+7, fourteen people plus my four crew members, three actors and seven extras. Commander Hu, can you read some actors' essentials in your free time..."

"..."

Although he knew that Guo Fan was joking, Hu Dong still nodded in agreement, and then thought of a move:

"Director Guo, why don't you go ask Mr. Lin again and let him show his face?"

Guo Fan: "Yes, last year I added a supporting role during the filming... Wow, you mean?"

Guo Fan immediately realized that someone in the base's command room understood it, and the ground command center in Beijing that simultaneously sent and received information also understood it.

"Hu Dong, you are deceiving the public with your lies... No, you are trying to flatter the CEO!"

The Beijing Command Center is managing Academician She at this time. The operation of the Storm nuclear-powered space shuttle has received great attention. This space shuttle will undergo a series of tests after installing the No. 2 living module, so the level of the person in charge Quite high too.

Academician She has long known that Xinyuan astronauts are too free and "rebellious", but the fact that the veteran Hu Dong is also like this really makes him a little nervous.

After the first H2, the Pioneer, entered space, Lin Ju wanted to go up there and try it himself. What if this gave him an excuse not to arrange a flight right away?

However, Hu Dong is not the only one who flatters the villain. Guo Fan also realized that if he could make Lin Ju happy, maybe there would be a few more people on the crew. No, the original ground actors were too low, and they needed space actors!

…

Southern University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Visiting professor Lin Ju was walking around the teaching building with only three people, when he met a student around the corner.

"Hello, Senior Lin!"

Lin Ju glanced at the paper in his hand and knew that it was this year's graduate.

"Hello, hello...Have you passed your defense? Not yet? Then why not let me go and have a look too."

"..."

Fortunately, Lin Ju was just joking. If he really went, he might not be able to pass the defense, so he had better not delay others.

Today is Saturday, and there are not many people in the university.

Although the school did not know the purpose of Boss Lin's visit, it still received him warmly. At the latter's request, the school transferred the information of the top 100 graduates of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics this year.

These are all outstanding science and engineering students who transferred over during their sophomore year. Most of them have performed very well after joining Xinyuan, and their situations are described in detail in the information.

95 men and 5 women... which is very consistent with the male-to-female ratio of engineering majors. 77 of them have obtained jet pilot licenses, and the rest also have intermediate trainer licenses. Their physical fitness is very good and perfect.

Lin Ju nodded repeatedly, then raised his head and said:

"How many teachers are there in the main majors who have relatively good abilities and good physical fitness?"

A list of names quickly flashed through Tong Peiqiang's mind, and after thinking for a while he said: "Seven or eight, half of them were recruited from other schools last year. In fact, if they are really high-level, they must be engineers from the base, ha, Their practical experience is also much richer.

What's going on? Are we going to select reserve astronauts again? "

"No, it's an astronaut."

Tong Peiqiang immediately remembered some rumors last year. At that time, Lin Ju said that he would use H2 to send outstanding graduates and teachers to space. Could it be that...

"The base is already manufacturing passenger cabins that can fit H2M and H2N. If the mission of the Advance space station is not heavy and there are free tasks, this flight mission will be carried out."

As he spoke, he opened the tablet he carried with him, which contained the data of the passenger cabin.

As early as August and September last year, when H2M was making good progress, the base proposed a passenger-transformation plan for H2. After continuous demonstration, the passenger cabin plan finally won.

That is to say, a passenger cabin is fully placed in the 35-meter-long and 8.4-meter-wide cargo hold of H2, and they communicate with each other through the 1.5-meter docking port in the cargo hold.

The passenger compartment itself is very light and not high-tech at all. The only thing that needs some attention is the power supply, but it is still relatively simple.

Its internal space exceeds 200 square meters and can accommodate up to 18 rows of seats in 6 rows, which means it can carry up to 108 people.

Including the five seats in the front cockpit, H2M will be able to send up to 113 people into space at a time, setting an unrivaled historical record.

Several college leaders had goosebumps all over their bodies after reading the passenger transport reconstruction plan, and Tong Peiqiang shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, this... the risk is too great if something unexpected happens."

Lin Ju: "After the passenger cabin is installed, a launch without passengers in the cabin will be carried out for testing. Moreover, the technology itself is very safe, and space launches have become more and more mature."

"But if there is an accident, the loss will be immeasurable. I am not against it, but... how about changing to the Steadfast? Seven or eight people is a lot."

"But this is to transport more than 100 people to space at one time. This will be a historic move. Its significance is no less than that of the moon landing, and it also means that our manned flight has reached a new level."

Lin Ju was full of empty nonsense, which certainly played a small role, but the real reason cannot be told.

Sending more than 100 people into space at a time, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it should be regarded as a small event achievement, and it is likely to be rewarded by the system.

In order to obtain as much content related to controllable nuclear fusion as possible, the carrier aircraft at launch will be the Storm nuclear-powered space shuttle, with a total cost of about 7 to 8 billion.

Take a gamble while completing the daily tasks. The cost is acceptable for the base.

Tong Peiqiang was silent for a while: "With so many people, will they be issued a flight permit?"

Lin Ju: "It's okay. I'm the vice chairman of the Aerospace Development Committee. I'll send it to myself."
