Chapter 1189 Warriors

"Medical staff are working very hard. They have been out in the isolation area, working, and have never met their families." Mentioning the situation here, the person in charge of the hospital also said with some emotion.

"We can help with this matter." Fan Wubing nodded.

Then he ordered the person in charge of the Guangzhou branch to immediately mobilize a batch of laptops and ask for them to be equipped with video heads and microphones. At the same time, he set up several wireless hotspots with Internet access in the isolation area so that medical staff could conduct medical consultations with their families at any time. Video and calling.

"Thank you so much." The hospital and research institute expressed their gratitude in front of them.

After leaving here, Fan Wubing returned to the hotel and collected current information online. There are very few reports about Canada. It didn't attract everyone's attention, so they couldn't help but shake their heads.

Thinking about it, this matter is a bit tricky. Most news media units are not very willing to report this kind of thing, especially since the government will change in a month, and no one wants to cause chaos at this time.

There is another thing that has been quite popular on the Internet, which is the sudden crash of the American space shuttle Columbia on the Spring Festival day. In comparison, everyone pays more attention to this matter.

The cause of Columbia's crash has not yet been determined, but according to NASA's space shuttle program manager Bert Moore, Columbia has been operating normally since it took off on January 16. At 8:53 a.m. Eastern Time on February 1, NASA suddenly received the first signal that the space shuttle was malfunctioning. At that time, data transmission from the temperature sensor of the space shuttle's left wing hydraulic system was suddenly interrupted.

Immediately afterwards, the space shuttle's tire pressure data suddenly disappeared, and structural overheating occurred on the space shuttle.

At that time, the Space Shuttle Columbia was about to re-enter the atmosphere. The fuselage was experiencing very high temperature and pressure. The heat on the wings had reached 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. At that time, the aircraft was operating at 12,500 miles per hour. Equivalent to eighteen times the sound.

The NASA control center lost contact and tracking of Columbia at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. At that time, the space shuttle was flying at an altitude of 62,000 meters over Texas, USA. Since then, the NASA control center has not received any communication or tracking information about the Columbian shuttle.

The crash of the Space Shuttle Columbia caused great shock and grief across the United States. President Bush, who was spending the weekend at Camp David, hurried back to Washington after receiving a report from White House Chief of Staff Card, to discuss the situation of the space shuttle crash with cabinet members. An emergency meeting was held. He then spoke on the phone with the families of the deceased astronauts. Condolences for the death of the astronaut.

Internet at two o'clock that afternoon,

However, US President Bush, with a solemn face and a sad mood, addressed the nation on television at the White House. After counting the names of the astronauts who died, Bush said that in an era when spaceflight is considered almost normal, it is easy to overlook the dangers of rocket travel and the difficulties of navigating the outer atmosphere of the Earth. These astronauts understood the dangers, they were willing to face them, and they knew there was a higher purpose in life because of their courage, audacity, and ideals. We will miss them even more.

Bush emphasized that the cause for which they died will continue, mankind is inspired by discovery and the thirst for knowledge into the darkness beyond our world, and our journey into space will be.

Leaders of China, Russia, France, Canada and other countries sent messages of condolences to US President Bush after the US space shuttle crash. While they expressed their deep condolences for the tragic death of the US astronaut, they believed that human beings' efforts to explore space science would not last long. will be affected by this and will certainly continue to make progress.

What was the cause of the space shuttle Columbia crash?

In order to find out the cause of this accident. The administrator of NASA has announced the appointment of a retired Navy commodore as the chairman of an independent investigative committee, which will first focus on finding out whether the insulation parts that fell off the outer end of the aircraft's oil tank damaged the space shuttle and caused its eventual crash.

NASA said at a press conference held on the day of the incident that the day Columbia launched. The insulation material at the outer end of the aircraft's oil tank was damaged and became loose, but it is not yet known whether the insulation tiles above were damaged.

Because the space shuttle operates at high altitudes in space for a long time. The temperature outside the fuselage, especially the wings, is very high, so the space shuttle's fuselage needs to be protected by graphite insulation tiles to prevent damage to the body caused by high temperatures. If the insulation tiles near the oil tank fall off, it may cause the space shuttle to explode or disintegrate in the air.

The next day there was new progress in the investigation into the cause of the accident. After analyzing a large amount of aircraft wreckage fragments and computer data collected from Texas and Louisiana, members of the independent investigation committee concluded that the left side of the space shuttle fuselage was The temperature rose sharply before the disintegration, and the left side of the space shuttle was exactly the side of the fuselage that was damaged during liftoff on January 16.

Some U.S. experts pointed out regarding the Columbia space shuttle crash that due to the decline in aerospace budgets in recent years, these space shuttles, most of which are between ten and eighteen years old, have not been fully upgraded and maintained, resulting in poor flight safety.

The crash of the Columbia space shuttle will have a certain impact on the U.S. aerospace industry. First, NASA has ordered the suspension of all space shuttle flights, which will at least affect the implementation of many important space exploration projects in the next two to three years.

In addition, the Columbia space shuttle crash will lead to personnel changes within NASA. As a result, there are some unpredictable variables in U.S. aerospace regulations.

Some experts believe that because the United States has decided to suspend all space shuttle flight plans. This will have a major impact on the construction of the International Space Station, because the original plan was to transport a large amount of equipment and materials for expansion to the space station through the space shuttle. If the U.S. space shuttle is grounded for a long time, the work of building the space station will definitely be will be negatively affected.

While Fan Wubing was checking the Internet, Shen Ying and Cui Qi were both resting in the room. After chatting for a while, they came over to see what Fan Wubing was doing, and found that he was watching the news about the Columbia crash.

Zhang Qi had also seen this topic and couldn't help but said to them, "I remember the predecessors standing on the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Robbennese once said this, the whole earth is the graveyard of great people, endless time is The flow is their glorious celebration. A slight modification of this sentence can be used to evaluate this matter very appropriately. The whole sky is the graveyard of great warriors, and the endless flow of time is their glorious celebration. "

Fan Wubing nodded. Exploring space is a common cause for all mankind. Although they have different positions and have their own national interests, on this matter. The spirit of exploration of all mankind coexists.

The U.S. space shuttle Columbia disintegrated sixteen minutes before it was scheduled to land, killing all seven astronauts. At that time, the space shuttle was at an altitude of 203,000 feet, flying at 12,500 miles per hour, enduring a temperature of more than 3,000 degrees, waiting for another contact with ancient times since taking off on January 16. And the merciful earth.

However, communication was suddenly interrupted, and debris bloomed like fireworks across the sky. Tragedy always comes without warning. Creation has always been unpredictable. There is reason to believe that the seven astronauts did not even have time to eject the rescue capsule before they were swallowed up by the fire and eventually disappeared into the blue sky of Texas.

This can't help but remind people of the famous smoke column left in the sky one minute after the Challenger space shuttle took off on January 28, seventeen years ago, as if it was struck by thunder. There seems to be creatures in the underworld who are angry after being offended.

Fan Wubing had never had close contact with a space shuttle, but when he came into contact with a large strategic transport aircraft, he could slightly appreciate the similar style. When you look up at the steel giant above your head, the neat spikes and smooth wings Being in person makes one really feel the activity of human intelligence, which seems so powerful because humans make steel fly in the air.

However, he also knows the fragility of this artificial machine. Compared with the great nature, the steel giant flying in the atmosphere is just a leaf in the ocean, and humans are just driving this leaf to see the ocean. Ants on the other side.

"Facing the unknown space, we are certainly ants, ants constantly climbing on the blades of grass. With the courage to explore, we can see an area as large as a football field. With our small and fragile bodies, this is not possible Isn’t it a great achievement? Although we may know nothing about the 100,000 people in the stands around us, and although we may be smashed to pieces by the sudden football, Fan Wubing couldn’t help but say with emotion, “Looking up at the vast starry sky, one day. Like an ant staring at the endless lawn. When human beings drive the small spacecraft they created, they shuttle between space and the earth. When staring at the azure sea and the alternating yin and yang of the sky that stretches thousands of miles, who can say that this small and fragile group of human beings are not great warriors? "

Through their efforts, human beings have traveled through ancient times, conquered mammoths and saber-toothed tigers that were a hundred times more powerful, built city-states on the earth that had never been seen in nature, and invented boats and vehicles that were unknown to creation to travel across the world.

When geography can no longer limit human beings, they will seek new answers, explore the mysteries of time and space, and ask whether there is an eternal fire burning, and whether life is a reciprocating tide.

"No one would mind dedicating the utmost respect to these warriors, whether they succeed or fail. Perhaps it is not success, but the countless failures that illuminate the eternal night. The road signs leading to the oasis are filled with The snow-white bones on the ground. Therefore, we arrange their tombs in the sky and list their names with stars. We will use endless time as a celebration of their incomparable glory, and use our searching eyes to be their eternal witness." Wu Bian sighed as if chanting, "They slipped through the bonds on the other side of the sky. Touching God's cheek lightly."

Looking back, he found that Shen Ying and Cui Qi were both looking at him blankly, so Fan Wubing explained, "Don't be surprised, I didn't write it, I just read it emotionally." - Today's third It is also sent to each one one by one.
