Chapter 517 Happy as a child

"Dear passengers, your flight HG00001 from the Arc Space Center to the Xintian Palace Space Station is now boarding."

"Passengers in the waiting room are asked to take your belongings and go to gate 1 to prepare for boarding. Please take off your sunglasses to facilitate the automatic ticket verification machine for pupil scanning and facial recognition."

"Our stewardess will introduce you to relevant space knowledge on the plane. I wish you a happy trip."

"Dear fellow travelers, you..."

As the pleasant boarding reminder sounded in the waiting room, Dong Chen and the twenty-nine passengers walked to gate 1 to board the plane, and followed the instructions in the boarding prompt.

Except for Dong Chen, all of them behaved as if they were flying on a plane for the first time, even more excited and nervous than before.

Moreover, the waiting room of an aerospace aircraft is somewhat different from the waiting room of an aircraft in the atmosphere. The technology content is very high. It will be more convenient after you get used to it, but it is still a bit uncomfortable to use it for the first time.

Who would have thought that in the early 21st century, there would be a waiting room for flights to space on Earth. While other countries were still trying to figure out how to break through the atmosphere, Arc Light Aerospace had accomplished this.

And it's not just a show-off model, it's a model that can actually go to space on aerospace equipment just like an ordinary airplane.

The internal structure and layout of the aerospace passenger plane are similar to those of ordinary passenger planes. There are also beautiful flight attendants welcoming you at the hatch, but there are fewer seats and the corresponding area is a little more spacious.

However, its overall design has a more sci-fi feel, and there are also some special designs made to cope with the weightless environment. It can clearly feel that it is different from ordinary aircraft, and it is more advanced.

The usual group of bosses were now looking around the cabin like a group of curious babies. However, they still found their seats according to the seat information on their mobile phones and sat down. Then they fastened their seat belts and started waiting for takeoff. .

"Find a seat" and "Fasten your belt completely" were the only things Arclight Aerospace told them.

Because Arc Light Aerospace didn’t tell them anything other than “just do it on an ordinary plane, just do it on an aerospace passenger plane.”

They are ordinary people with no space training at all. They underwent a simple physical examination three hours before boarding the plane. After confirming that their physical condition was fine, they could take the aerospace passenger aircraft to space.

Other than that, at most I just read a few pages of the brochure, which contains some little knowledge.

This is also intentional by Arc Light Aerospace, because taking Arc Light Aerospace’s space flights is similar to ordinary flights. Even ordinary people who don’t know anything can take it without any danger.

As a participant in the design of the aerospace plane, Dong Chen was originally the big boss of Arc Light Aerospace, and he had been to space many times, both covertly and overtly. He knew much more than these people did.

Looking at Said who was looking around without fastening his seat belt after sitting down, Dong Chen held down his head and directly pressed him to the seat and said, "Stop looking around. Fasten your seat belt first. The stewardess will be there soon." I’m here to brief you on the situation, and I’ll let you see it all when we get to space.”

"Although the feeling of riding on this plane is similar to that of an ordinary plane, it is an aerospace plane after all. Its speed is not comparable to that of ordinary planes, and its destination is space. Please be honest with me."

Said felt very humiliated when Dong Chen pinned him down on his seat.

There was a young lady across the aisle from him. When he found out, he immediately stopped his movements to show the dignity of the royal family, but before he could sit down, Dong Chen ruined her.

So he turned around and whispered to Dong Chen, "Hey, Dong, there are ladies here, can't you save some face for me?"

Dong Chen didn't even look at him, fastened his seat belt and said, "It would be more respectable if you didn't look around. By the way, I'd like to remind you that the person sitting behind you is also a lady."

"..."

Prince Said, who had nothing to say, immediately became obedient. After fastening his seat belt, he began to wait for takeoff.

After waiting for the cabin door to close for a while, there was indeed the stewardess introduction session that Dong Chen mentioned. It mainly introduced some instructions during the flight and what to know after arriving in space. It also introduced one of their main equipment, which is their current feet. Wear electromagnetic shoes.

We introduced them to the use of electromagnetic shoes and asked them to install the shoe's magnetic switch APP on their mobile phones, which made it more convenient to control the shoe's magnetic switch.

By the way, this mobile phone can also be used during the whole journey in the aerospace plane, and it also provides high-speed WIFI service, but it is only useful when flying in the atmosphere, and cannot be used after arriving in space orbit.

Arclight Aerospace claims that it has begun to develop corresponding technologies and will allow passengers to freely use mobile phones in space in the near future.

They have already bought the electromagnetic shoes on their feet. They are rich and don't care about the tens of thousands of dollars.

Arclight Aerospace also has another type of "electromagnetic shoes" that are for rent. They are said to be shoes, but they are actually an electromagnetic device stuck in the sole of the shoe. It can turn ordinary shoes into electromagnetic shoes, but it is just under the sole. Having an extra piece is always inconvenient.

However, this kind of "electromagnetic sole" also solves the problem that some people don't want to wear shoes that others have worn, even if the shoes will be disinfected and very clean.

But today's big guys don't care about this and just buy a pair of special electromagnetic shoes that fit very well.

After the flight attendant introduced them to them, the first aerospace plane flight on earth took off normally. They were particularly excited to feel the push-back feeling of taking off just like an ordinary airplane.

The aerospace plane has been accelerating, but the advanced life-support equipment prevents them from feeling too much G force, which is the pushing feeling they feel. Even after reaching a certain altitude, the pushing feeling they feel is stronger than that of the aircraft. The push-back feeling during takeoff is still small, but this push-back feeling always exists and never disappears.

But it didn't last long. After feeling the plane shake slightly for a while, they felt their bodies suddenly lightened.

They have seen this feeling in many literary works, film and television works, and the flight attendant even introduced this situation to them before taking off.

This means they are weightless.

This means they have arrived in the space they dreamed of.

Feeling that her body became unusually light, the hair of the lady with long hair floated up, even blocking the sight of the man sitting next to her. However, the man not only was not frightened, but actually laughed and said, "Hey , Miss Mermaid, your hair is floating."

This is obviously someone who followed the live broadcast of the last interactive event.

When he smiled, everyone in the cabin cheered, because they were experiencing a miracle, a very important history, and the future.

"Haha, my God, I can't believe it! Guys, we're in space!"

"I'm going to take pictures of my hair. This is proof that I'm weightless!"

"Praise the Lord and praise ArcLight Aerospace for allowing me to realize this wish ahead of schedule."

"Yes, we are in space. I have been thinking about this day for a long time."

"It's so fun, I feel so light..."

"Ah, I'm flying!"

As they cheered, the stewardess's voice sounded in the cabin, indicating that the plane would circle the track twice, which means it would stay for three hours, and passengers would be free to move around for an hour and a half.

During this period, passengers can unbuckle their seat belts, watch the Earth from the window, turn off their electromagnetic shoes to experience the feeling of weightlessness, take photos, and even make video calls with friends on the ground, but only through the video calling devices in the four corners of the cabin. .

But this has also made many tourists overjoyed. They did not know that this kind of service existed in advance. In order to give them a surprise, Arclight Aerospace has taken many confidentiality measures.

Even before boarding the plane, I only told them two things.

And this time there was no live broadcast of the entire event, only the early days when the big shots were walking on the red carpet and being interviewed.

Although drones will be used to record the following things, they will not be broadcast live. Instead, they will be edited after the trip is over, and then released in the form of recorded videos with the consent of the passengers.

This group of people felt that this video call was much more shocking than just bringing back photos. Each call screen was facing the opposite row of portholes, and outside the portholes... was the beautiful earth.
