Chapter 322: I Want 322 People
In the overload test, the first test is the chest cavity, and the second is the impact of rapid blood circulation on the brain.
Someone's blood will flow all the way to the upper body, or all the blood will flow to the lower body.
Therefore, when these people are at 6G, they will be in a coma due to ischemia and hypoxia.
In order to withstand the acceleration, the blood cannot be artificially controlled, but the oxygen content is actually controlled in a stupid way.
At the beginning of the test, take a deep breath, and then follow the method of 1 breath holding, 2 breath in and exhale, 3 breath hold, 4 breath in and exhale, 5 breath hold.
It can forcibly increase the oxygen content in the blood in a short period of time.
Moreover, the chest cavity is artificially expanded to avoid being compressed by acceleration.
On your next inhale, take in more oxygen, not less and less.
But when Li Changheng did the 9G test just now, because the red blood cells in his body had already reached the data limit.
It can carry more oxygen, so although the breathing is also accelerated, it is not like other pilots who inhale and hold their breath rapidly.
In other words, just looking at this point, it can be seen that he has not reached his limit at 9G.
Not even the upper limit.
"let's start"
"25-second overload test, are you sure?"
Li Changheng answered clearly again, but there was no beeping sound in the test field for a long time.
Jim and Dick Reston couldn't help but look up at the test director.
The mustache officer, on the other hand, was thinking about some data told to him by Grumman and General Dynamics.
If Li Changheng knew, he would definitely think of F16 and F14 Tomcats.
The F16 is the first fighter that can perform 9G overload flight maneuvers in the future.
In other words, pilots who want to fly F16 have to bear at least 8G overload.
So once Li Changheng endured the 11.5G overload, he is definitely the most suitable F16 test pilot in the future.
You can fly however you want, without worrying about the limits of the human body, as it is impossible to test the full performance of the aircraft.
It's that the plane simply can't reach the limit that his body can bear.
As for the F14 Tomcat, the same is true.
"SIR?"
Hearing Jim's voice, the test supervisor came back to his senses, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the engineering staff to enter the site for inspection.
In order to avoid problems with machines whose theoretical acceleration can reach 16G but have never accelerated to more than 12G.
Ten minutes later, not just Jim's five people crowded in the control room.
Even General Kenny and other base executives entered the control room.
If Li Changheng can really break the record, it will be a good thing for the National Guard Air Force.
Even Admiral Kenny and the others were still thinking that they might be able to beat the Navy once in the future when conducting flight confrontation training.
There was a sound of "beep beep beep".
Li Changheng reached out to hold the fixed flight control stick.
Taking a deep breath, I felt my body rushing forward rapidly, and my entire back was attached to the driver's seat.
At 1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 15 seconds, I suddenly felt that my chest was being squeezed by something.
Instinctively take a quick deep breath, then hold your breath and take a breath.
Then it didn't feel so bad.
He even subconsciously realized that when flying a fighter jet, the pilot in a high-speed turn will inevitably turn his head to check the enemy's position.
God.
A group of people looked at the console instrument, showing 11.5G, and even the red light of 12G would light up occasionally.
In other words, it is at least about 11.8 to be accurate.
The people present were afraid that they would disturb Li Changheng, so they lowered their breathing.
But a knowledgeable person like Jim understands that Li Changheng, who is sitting in the tester, has not reached his limit at all.
He can even easily simulate real air combat, and check the movements of enemy planes left and right.
If the speed of the instrument hadn't been set at the beginning, Dick Reston would have wanted to adjust the speed to 12, or even 13, to see where Li Changheng's limit is.
When the number on the average speed meter jumped to 9, the test supervisor immediately pressed the deceleration button.
The control room was silent for five or six seconds, and then there was loud applause and cheers.
This data is definitely American, the highest record of all pilots at this time.
In the future, someone will be able to break it, and among the human beings in the world, there may be someone who can test 20G.
But at least among fighter pilots, Lee Jang Hyung is a record breaker.
Dick Reston looked back at Jim and said, "Send your new boss to Houston in five days for ice bucket, 3D rolling ring, overweight and claustrophobic space tests."
"Passed?"
Jim looked at Reston in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"Come on, Jim".
Reston looked at him dissatisfied and said, "We all know about the manned moon landing plan, and at the beginning it was only planned to reach the Apollo 14 spacecraft.
Now 5 of the 6 astronauts on the 11th and 12th do not plan to go up again, and your three-person group has been suspended again.
There are only 7 people who can execute the 14th spacecraft.
But among the 7 people, 4 had psychological problems to varying degrees.
There's no way I wouldn't want to meet someone who broke records like this. "
Speaking of this, Reston stared at Jim and asked, "I'm letting you go up now, are you brave enough and mentally prepared to sit in the command module on the rocket?"
Jim opened his mouth, but couldn't speak in the end, and could only fall silent with a sad expression.
Being able to come back alive is really very lucky, it can even be said to be a miracle.
After the rocket lifted off, the first-stage and second-stage propulsion modules went smoothly, but when the last propulsion module pushed them to the moon for two days, they were about to reach the lunar orbit.
The oxygen tank suddenly exploded in the service module.
Fortunately, although the explosion affected the command module, the lunar module was not damaged at all.
If any tiny fragment touched the outermost layer of the lunar module, it would only touch the insulation layer as thick as a playing card.
When they land on the earth, they will be burnt to ashes due to intense friction with the air and a high temperature of 3000-4000 degrees.
And in the case of insufficient power, the parachute bounced automatically without any problems.
Otherwise, they would crash into the sea like a meteorite, and then be directly shocked to death.
Also, the three of them had to stay in space because of insufficient power in the lunar module, only keeping communication, and shutting down all other electronic devices.
In the cold and dark space, I was nervous for two days and two nights without sleep.
During the period, I also experienced that at the beginning of the design of the lunar module, only the carbon dioxide emissions of the two astronauts were considered.
At that time, there were 3 people sitting in it, and the purification equipment of the lunar module could not be purified, which caused the concentration of carbon dioxide in the cabin to become higher and higher.
The three of them almost suffocated to death.
If it weren't for the joint efforts of more than a dozen scientists, lunar module manufacturers and designers in the NASA command center, they used the equipment in the lunar module to improvise a simple filter.
The three of them really can't return to Earth.
As long as Jim recalls now, the feeling of fear in his heart will let him know that he is not out of the shadows yet.
He is familiar with the content of the astronaut assessment, and he knows that it is difficult for him to sit in the spacecraft again.
Thinking of this, Jim had to think about the rest of his life.
"If my boss passes all the tests and passes the training and assessment in the next four months with excellent results.
What are his chances of getting on Spaceship 14? "
