Qu Xiaoming couldn't calm down when he thought about going to a place like Mars.
Qu Xiaoming waited in the Astronaut Administration office for a while before a staff member came up to him and began to inform him about the mission.
You are Qu Xiaoming, right? Your next task has been arranged.
You are assigned to a space station to perform a mission, which will last for one month.
As the staff member spoke, he took out a document that recorded the details of the mission.
Qu Xiaoming’s first mission is to go to the space station and stay there for a month.
The time astronauts spend on their first mission is not too long, and it is mainly to allow the astronauts to adapt to the environment in space.
Although this mission is not as good as the one on Mars base, it is still pretty good.
The most boring task is to follow the rocket and be responsible for transportation between the Earth and Mars.
This kind of transportation work basically means staying inside the rocket and being unable to do anything.
No astronaut can bear to stay in the small space inside the rocket for a long time. So this kind of mission is usually arranged in turns, and you can only rely on your luck if you encounter it.
In comparison, the conditions inside the space station are very good, and the daily work is not so boring.
However, Qu Xiaoming was not very satisfied with this arrangement. Although the space station was also in outer space, it was only in geosynchronous orbit.
He still wanted to work at the Mars base; Mars was the only place that attracted him the most.
Qu Xiaoming faced the staff of the administration and expressed his true thoughts.
Can I request a mission change? The place I want to go is the Mars base.
Even if I have to carry out the most difficult mission in the Mars base, I have no objection, as long as I can stay on Mars.
As soon as he asked the question, Qu Xiaoming looked at the staff member responsible for arranging the task with anticipation.
After hearing Qu Xiaoming's request, the staff member did not show any surprise.
He has no idea how many astronauts he has received who have come to accept missions, and he has seen a lot of rookie astronauts like Qu Xiaoming.
Caiwu always yearns for a place that is farther away, like Mars, which is enough to carry the dreams of many people.
These newbies usually want to go to Mars and carry out their first mission, and he has received such requests many times.
Although he could see that Qu Xiaoming really wanted to go to Mars, he could not satisfy the other party's request.
Everyone wants to go on a mission to Mars, but there are not enough spots.
The Mars base is already full now, and there are many astronauts waiting in line to go.
The astronauts who can go to Mars are all the best astronauts. A novice like you has no chance."
So you should work hard to complete your mission, maybe one day you can really set foot on Mars.
After rejecting Qu Xiaoming's request, the staff member comforted him and told him that if he worked hard in the future, he still had hope of going to Mars.
Well, it’s not bad if I can’t go to the Mars space station, as long as I can stay in space.
Seeing that his demands could not be met, Qu Xiaoming had no choice but to give up his unrealistic fantasies.
He also knew that the opportunity to go to Mars was rare and not something a newcomer like him could encounter.
However, he still hasn't given up the idea of going to Mars, but is just trying to accumulate some experience first.
Once he has enough experience in space missions, he will continue to apply for missions to Mars.
In the end, Qu Xiaoming had to accept his first mission and left with detailed mission instructions.
He still has a lot of things to do and must prepare everything before the mission begins.
You must be familiar with the task information at hand and your body must be adjusted to the best condition.
Only after making all preparations can you face your first task in perfect condition.
Qu Xiaoming has very high demands on himself and he must complete his first space mission perfectly.
After leaving the Astronaut Administration, Qu Xiaoming went home and began to prepare.
He first carefully read a mission document and familiarized himself with the work he would be responsible for in the space mission.
Then he began to adjust his physical condition so that he could meet his first space trip in the best condition possible.
After several days of preparation, Qu Xiaoming was completely ready, and the time had come for him to set off.
Qu Xiaoming came to the space mission center, preparing to board a rocket to fly to the space station in geosynchronous orbit.
After several years of development, the Space Mission Center is completely different from before.
Continuous expansion in recent years has made the space mission center extremely large.
The current space mission center is like a small city with countless buildings.
Such a huge space mission center can support a large number of astronauts to perform missions in space and can also launch many rockets at the same time.
With such a large space mission center, Jiang Cheng’s future space plans will have strong ground support.
Qu Xiaoming and other astronauts who were going to the space station got into a rocket together, ready to go into space with the rocket.
Qu Xiaoming sat in his seat, looking at the other astronauts sitting next to him, and began to feel a little nervous.
Going to a completely unfamiliar place like outer space for the first time will inevitably cause some emotional fluctuations, and even astronauts who have undergone rigorous training cannot avoid this.
Soon the rocket entered the launch program, and Qu Xiaoming's first space mission officially began.
Qu Xiaoming, a man who pursues his dream, is about to realize his dream.
After so many years of waiting, it was finally coming true, which made it difficult for Qu Xiaoming to calm down.
Fortunately, the astronaut training over the years taught him that he must remain calm at times like this.
Soon Qu Xiaoming adjusted his mentality and his emotions became stable.
The rocket started launching soon. Qu Xiaoming sat in his seat and felt a huge thrust on his back.
He knew it was just the normal feeling of a rocket launching, a force that would carry him away from Earth.
The astronauts had to endure a lot of pressure during the acceleration phase, but they had already been trained for these things, so no accidents occurred to them.
After the initial acceleration phase, the speed of the rocket increased suddenly.
When the speed of the rocket reaches its highest point, the discomfort caused by the acceleration gradually disappears.
At this time, Qu Xiaoming had time to observe the situation outside the rocket.
Qu Xiaoming watched through the window as the scenery outside the rocket changed rapidly, and soon it became pitch black outside.
