Chapter 1528: Setting a Record (Part 1)

The monitoring equipment on the ground seemed to lose all signals for a moment of three to five seconds, the screen was empty, and Guo Tailai's voice could not be heard, and the people below were shocked.

"G, how are you?" Little Finn was the most anxious one. If anyone among this group of people is the least willing to let Guo Tailai have an accident, then apart from Guo Tailai's security personnel, it must be Little Finn, who almost went crazy when he saw this, and yelled into the walkie-talkie frantically.

"...Hiss...I'm fine! Hiss..." The radio was full of electrical noises, which contained Guo Tailai's intermittent pitch-shifting voice, which was very strange.

"Fuck!" Little Finn asked loudly to the NASA experts next to him, "What's going on here?"

"It may be due to the interference of charged particles caused by some space radiation." Compared with Little Finn's anxiety, NASA experts are very calm. This kind of situation is too common in space, and the satellite recovery module often passes through In the ionosphere, the signal cannot be received for a few minutes, which is no surprise. Only a layman like Little Finn would be surprised.

"It feels very good!" Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, Guo Tailai's voice came from the radio clearly, and it sounded very normal.

"Thank God!" Little Finn finally breathed a sigh of relief, and involuntarily crossed himself in front of him, which was too scary.

"G, try to speak as little as possible, and maintain your body posture." NASA experts reminded: "Your heart rate is now over 140, take a deep breath, and maintain it!"

"Can you see my speed?" Guo Tailai asked.

"Yes!" replied the ground.

"Tell me when you break the sound barrier." Guo Tailai reminded, then stopped talking and jumped down maintaining his posture.

"500 miles, 600 miles, 650 miles..." The monitoring station on the ground will report a number every time it breaks through an integer speed.

"3, 2, 1, yeah!" The voice from the ground monitoring station was clearly transmitted to Guo Tailai's earphones: "We have observed a small sonic boom, G, you have successfully broken through the sound barrier!"

The standard value of the speed of sound in the stratosphere is 1062 kilometers per hour, and it is basically stable, slower than that on the ground, about 295 meters per second, about 660 miles per second. Once an object flies faster than the speed of sound, it will inevitably produce a shock wave, which is the so-called sonic boom. This also means that Guo Tailai has really broken through the speed of sound.

"Congratulations! G!" The voice of the ground monitoring personnel also became excited: "You have made history, and you are now flying faster than 99% of civil aviation airliners!"

Although Guo Tailai was the one who skydived, everyone on the ground who was in charge of monitoring was cheering. This is the first time since the beginning of the world that the human body breaks through the speed of sound!

When he fell for one minute, Guo Tailai's speed had reached 700 miles per second. Hearing this mile per hour, Guo Tailai also wanted to complain about it. The good metric unit is not used, but the imperial unit must be used. Americans are really awkward.

700 miles per hour is equivalent to 1126 kilometers per hour, but this is obviously not the limit, Guo Tailai can feel that he is still accelerating.

"800 miles!" Guo Tailai's speed was still increasing, and soon exceeded 800 miles per hour.

"I feel a lot of resistance!" After breaking through the speed of sound, Guo Tailai finally felt the sudden increase of strong air resistance, but the speed of landing was still increasing.

"The maximum speed is 843 miles! Mach 1.27!" The ground monitoring personnel also found that the speed curve on the monitoring equipment had peaked at this time, and quickly reported the maximum speed: "G, your heart rate is now 130 , keep breathing deeply!"

"When I first jumped down, it was difficult to adjust the stability of my body in a state of weightlessness." Guo Tailai was no longer as flustered as he was when he first jumped out, and said calmly in the air: "When you jump with a little force, you will spin in the air and lose your balance. Not bad, I got my body under control."

As Guo Tailai said, the most terrifying thing about space skydiving is losing balance in the thin stratosphere air, just like an airplane entering turbulence. In the state of weightlessness, a slight external force will rotate, and it is difficult to recover and maintain balance. And the human body rotates faster than the plane, the danger will be even greater. The uncontrolled rotation causes blood to flow to the head and is severe enough to cause loss of consciousness, red vision, and brain damage.

Guo Tailai is different, he has two trillion nano-robots, these nano-robots can fly, although the thrust of each is extremely small, but in this weightless state, it does not need too much thrust to change Guo Tailai's flight state .

When he just jumped out, Guo Tailai was indeed spinning and rolling uncontrollably, but it only took more than ten seconds for Guo Tailai to adjust his body condition and maintain a stable landing state. For ordinary people, this situation may last for thirty or forty seconds or even longer, which is very dangerous. Of course, even if there is a long rotation, Guo Tailai will not have red vision, let alone any brain damage.

Because of the increase in air resistance, Guo Tailai's speed also began to slow down.

So far, the people on the ground have already let go of half of their hearts. As long as Guo Tailai can maintain a normal skydiving state and open the parachute normally when it is time to open the parachute, it is basically certain that this space skydiving challenge has been successful. It can be said that until now, half of the success has been achieved.

"The speed is 180 miles, and the parachute can be opened!" The ground monitoring personnel have been monitoring the speed and altitude, and when they reach the predetermined value, they quickly sounded a reminder.

At this time, Guo Tailai had been in free fall for 4 minutes and 50 seconds. Hearing the prompt, Guo Tailai did not try to be brave, and quickly opened the parachute.

The parachute opening process was flawless, there was no twists and turns, no parachute entanglement, no parachute tearing, no accidents, and the parachute opened successfully. The falling body paused, and the speed began to decrease further.

The ground personnel let go of the remaining half of their hearts again. The last problem is to land safely.

"Estimated landing point, area No. 5!" Guo Tailai controlled the parachute and fell slowly. The ground personnel had already quickly calculated the approximate landing area and reported it to Little Finn.

Two helicopters took off immediately, one of which was Little Finn and his security guards and Guo Tailai's three security personnel, and the other helicopter was NASA's medical personnel and ground support personnel, and the helicopter quickly flew to the fifth area .

The landing process after the parachute opened lasted a full eleven minutes, and the total landing time reached sixteen minutes.

The standard landing action, the legs bent slightly to relieve the impact of the landing, Guo Tailai stood firmly on the ground, and the huge parachute slowly landed. Before Guo Tailai could clean up these things, the people who had arrived in this area two minutes earlier rushed up to Guo Tailai.

As soon as Guo Tailai took off the astronaut helmet, he saw the excited face of little Finn.

"G, you did it!" Little Finn was as excited as if he jumped from the top: "You set a record!"
