There were also some hiccups during the trip to Beijing. Many units and individuals invited Lin Ju, but he turned them down because of his busy company schedule.

Xinyuan Aerospace is certainly busy. Although it has many plans, its scale of less than 400 people is destined to have limited research and development capabilities. It is mainly focused on the Xinyuan 2 rocket and the H1 space shuttle.

After all, it is a system task, and the consequences of failure to complete it will be serious.

The Astronaut Research and Training Center is located in the HD District of Beijing, formerly the 507th Institute.

Since the launch of the manned spaceflight project in 1992, up to now, a total of 10 astronauts have been in space, and the entire astronaut team is less than 30 people.

However, the three-person team from Xinyuan and the 10-person team from the Arbor Space Agency will soon increase the overall number by nearly half, and the training center is still a bit stressed.

After all, the two Xinyuan trio are ordinary people, and one of them is an old man. Although Abo sent a pilot, the language was a bit troublesome.

Since the notice in advance was very short, there was no special welcome ceremony when Lin Ju arrived, which suited him perfectly.

But when he saw the shorter man in the lead, Lin Ju stepped forward excitedly:

"Mr. Li Wei, I didn't expect you to be here too!"

"Haha, Chairman Lin is joking. I am also a reserve soldier now. I can go out at any time if the motherland needs it!"

As the first Chinese to enter space, Li Wei created a new era of manned space engineering and influenced countless young people.

As a professional astronaut with an excellent pilot background, Li Wei still maintains the characteristics of a soldier. Although he is not tall, he gives off a resolute temperament when he stands.

But after listening to his words, Lin Ju secretly felt regretful that Li Wei could not return to space even before he traveled through time.

Some say it was because he suffered irreversible trauma that time, while others say it was because Li Wei, as the first astronaut to enter space, has become a spiritual symbol and cannot bear any risks.

Lin Ju felt that it was probably the latter. The trauma was unlikely. If it was really that serious, he would not have returned to the ground intact.

The country definitely does not want to take any risks. If the first astronaut really has an accident during spaceflight, it will definitely be a serious accident.

Thinking of this, he could only wish him comfortingly:

"Captain Li, you are still in good health. I believe you will have the opportunity to enter space in the near future."

"Then I'll give it to President Lin, haha, but it's better to give the opportunity to the new comrade."

"Isn't it our tradition to lead the new with the old? Who can be more senior than you?"

Listening to what Lin Ju said, Li Wei's eyes also flashed with anticipation, but it quickly disappeared and he took Lin Ju to visit the training center.

Although manned space missions only officially began in the 1990s, the country organized a manned space project as early as the 1960s and trained the first batch of astronauts. Unfortunately, it was eventually terminated due to technology and funding.

The training center also had familiar equipment to Lin Ju, such as large centrifuges to simulate high overload. It was here that Lin Ju saw Deng Lei, Zhou Rui, and Zhao Xiaowen. Zhao Xiaowen had already entered the centrifuge first.

"Mr. Lin x2!"

Zhou Rui and Deng Lei greeted Lin Ju when they saw him and saluted Li Wei at the same time.

"Mr. Lin, the G value trained by the two payload experts will not exceed 5G. This is set according to the technical parameters of your space shuttle. This is also the limit level of their short-term training.

However, Comrade Deng Lei's physical fitness is very good, so we took it upon ourselves to raise his professional level to him. "

Lin Ju nodded. As a super pilot, Deng Lei would have no problem with more overload. However, he found that when Li Wei arrived, Deng Lei became a little embarrassed and seemed a little nervous.

Zhou Rui also noticed this and joked:

"The commander's space dream has been cut off for more than 10 years. Every time I think about it, I feel regretful. When I first came to training, I just held my hand and didn't let go. Now that I'm in my forties, I'm like a young man chasing stars."

Deng Lei lowered his head in embarrassment, but did not deny it.

"Haha, it's an honor for me to have such a fan!" Li Wei touched Deng Lei's shoulder very affectionately:

"I went back and checked the information from that year. If Xiao Deng hadn't had an accident, he would have definitely been selected based on his indicators. It's just God's will that he will eventually return to our team and he will become a glorious astronaut.

Speaking of Comrade Deng Lei, how long have you been married? Does your child go to college? "

"..."

"Ahem...hahaha"

Amid Zhou Rui's uncontrollable laughter, Li Wei also looked a little embarrassed, cursing himself for not taking a closer look at Deng Lei's information.

Lin Ju found it very interesting, but at the same time he also thought about it:

Although he is still young, several system engineers seem to be single?

They must not be allowed to become older youths! With his background in the system, the second generation must have a good level of scientific research, right?

This is no lie. Little Tupolev, the son of master aircraft designer Tupolev, inherited his father’s legacy and is also an excellent aviation expert!

Androv suddenly felt a chill and touched his hairy arm strangely.

Lin Ju also experienced some overloading in the centrifuge. Due to his inexperience, the load only reached 3G and then stopped. The experience was not bad.

At noon, while experiencing the astronauts' standard buffet at the training center, Lin Ju and Li Wei chatted about Xinyuan's manned space program.

"Your H1 really plans to fly for the first time this year? And is it expected to complete the manned mission in September?"

Lin Ju: “According to our current schedule, the first Xinyuan-2 rocket will roll off the assembly line in May, a rocket test launch will be conducted in June, and the second launch mission in June will carry H1 and conduct two full-state unmanned flights. The fourth flight, a manned launch, will be carried out as early as July."

Li Wei shook his head and sighed: "It's too fast, too fast, launching two rockets a month... Oh, your rockets are reusable, and there is no need to make new ones."

Lin Ju: "That's not true. The second stage is disposable, but it is much faster to produce than the first stage rocket, and the cost is not too expensive, so there is no reuse."

"It's still too exaggerated. I also have a certain understanding of rockets, but no matter what, I hope you will succeed; the space agency proposed a series of plans for manned spaceflight in the 1990s, and finally chose the Shenzhou spacecraft plan.

I later visited Mr. Qian many times, and I knew that he wanted a space shuttle. At that time, our small space shuttle was similar to H1, but the country had neither money nor sufficient technical reserves, so it was abandoned due to cost and risk.

But I can tell you that the country has not stopped researching the space shuttle. You are not going backwards in history. "

Lin Ju knows that many people are actually criticizing Xinyuan and think that the space shuttle is useless.

After all, even Aramco’s space shuttle was retired in 2010. Is NACA not as smart as you?

But Lin Ju also believed Li Wei when he said that Mr. Qian hoped to build a space shuttle. Who is Mr. Qian? One of the founders of NACA and a great sage in the aerospace industry!

People wrote an introduction to interstellar navigation decades ago, but now only a small part can be made public, and that is interstellar navigation!

There are also achievements in engineering cybernetics, which have laid the foundation for the high quality and high standards of China's aerospace industry and successive victories.
