Chapter 57

Time flies, and life always moves forward in a seemingly highly repetitive day

Only when some big festivals come will you suddenly realize that it is the end of another year without realizing it.

On Christmas Day, Xue Xue and Xiao Yao spent a sweet world of two people

In the morning, they attended an astronomical lecture and, with the help of virtual reality and augmented reality, experienced the perspective of looking at the Earth from the capsule, and simulated how astronauts should perform daily tasks in weightlessness.

That's really a different feeling

After breaking out of the frame, the entire vision is widened

Space travel, if there is a day that will be realized

Although now, to some extent, it has been achieved, I hope it is not just a low-Earth orbit

At present, there are companies in the world that are planning space tourism, mainly secondary orbital space tourism with relatively low technical barriers and costs.

You can imagine it as a cosmic version of the roller coaster

On the day I saw the relevant news, Xiao Yao happened to be sitting next to Xue Xue. Seeing her curious, she explained: The spacecraft will carry passengers to the edge of the universe and drive at a gravity-free altitude for a period of time, giving passengers the experience of overlooking the earth and floating in the space capsule.

How high is that?

Well, it generally refers to more than one hundred kilometers above sea level. It is defined by the International Aviation Union, also known as the Carmen Line, which is the junction of the atmosphere and space. At this altitude, the speed required to maintain flight lift exceeds the orbital speed.

Well, can that be considered entering space?

It's right to enter space. In broad terms, but because the flight trajectory intersects the atmosphere or the surface of the earth, it is impossible to complete a full weekly orbital flight.

Xue Xue suddenly realized

So that's it, then I understand

Looking at the subsequent reports on the size of the space economy market and the future flight booking prices, Xue Xue sighed: It's really an entertainment for rich people.

Although the financial conditions of the Xue family are pretty good, the one with the lowest ticket is worth one of Xue Anbang and Yang Xiaoxiao’s two years of work income.

Do you want to play with it too?

Well, you should ask in another way

Um?

If conditions permit, does anyone want to take it?

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed

The cost will definitely be lower and lower

But it will take a long time to afford it if ordinary people can afford it. Xue Xue turned her head and the passenger capacity was only single digits at a time. Thinking about it, it is difficult to compare with the plane or high-speed rail.

Xiao Yao blinks

I'll work hard

Ah?

Try to take you to travel to space in your lifetime

Xiao Yao's eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and his bright pupils were shining brightly

Although his attitude was not very serious, Xue Xue, who already knew Xiao Yao enough, felt it immediately. The seriousness of the man's words in his words may be comparable to the oath at the wedding.

In an instant, her heart beat a beat

Especially after Xiao Yao leaned over and approached

Excessively amplified heartbeat creates an illusion like tinnitus

OK She heard herself say this: I believe you can do it

Since then, Xue Xue has always unconsciously paid attention to information and reports in this area.

Xiao Yao also noticed this. It happened that their professor said that the Space Administration, academic research institutions and local governments cooperated with each other and planned to hold an astronomical lecture in December. After asking about the detailed plan, Xiao Yao felt that the content was arranged very well, so he asked for two tickets through the other party.

A total of four lectures were held, which were held on two weeks' weekend. Xiao Yao received the ticket for Christmas, so he was directly placed on the date itinerary.

At the end of the show, each participant also received a small gift

It's a blind box

Xue Xue couldn't wait to open it

So cute!

What she got was an astronaut model holding the earth. She was beautiful and carefully prepared in detail, which made Xue Xue loves it.

and yours?

She asked Xiao Yao

Xiao Yao picked it up and shook it

It's a rocket

Wow, we got a different one. Xue Xue looked very happy. I want to put it on the desk.

Um

Seeing her in high spirits, Xiao Yao felt that his mood also became excited.

After lunch nearby, the two went to the nearby cinema to catch a walk. They had planned to watch a movie, but they gave up because they forgot to make an appointment and the tickets were sold out early. Later, they simply bought tickets for the amusement park lunch. Although they only played two facilities, they had a good view of the fireworks in advance. The two took selfies under the dazzling night sky, holding hands and kissing, and having fun for the first time.

And these beautiful memories will be frozen forever under the witness of the gorgeous fireworks in the sky like fire,
