The fat man named Anderson said this in Chinese. Although his voice was not loud, other players present could hear it.
At the same time, he looked at the people around him with pleading eyes, "Hey, you...do any of you know how to operate this thing?"
He was answered with silence.
The "Apollo" program ran from 1961 to 1972, which has a history of about fifty years. It was an early space project. At that time, the United States had just ended the "Mercury" program, the first generation of manned spaceflight. The training facilities used to send astronaut Shepard into space were still quite different from those used today.
People who are interested in astronaut training may have heard of things like centrifuges and neutral buoyancy laboratories, but this was the first time for Zhang Heng and others to see facilities like the multi-axis training instrument.
Judging from the previous description of the guy who looked like an instructor, this thing would definitely not be comfortable to sit on. In particular, many interested people noticed that the word victim was used in the last sentence.
Yes, Zhang Heng confirmed that there should be no problem with his hearing, which means that the training in front of him will definitely not be easy, and everyone has just entered the dungeon and has not fully understood their current situation.
To sum up, the first person to get on was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Everyone wanted to use the fat man's reaction to see how the equipment worked and how difficult the training was.
Probably only Fatty himself, as a guinea pig, didn't think so, but when he saw that the instructor who walked to the instrument was already a little impatient, he also knew that he had delayed a little too long.
At this time, he had no other choice. Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, and no other players were willing to take his place, he could only walk over and sit on the seat of the training device.
A staff member immediately stepped forward and fastened his seat belt, and then retreated to the operating platform not far away.
The sweat on the back of the fat man's neck soaked his collar. He swallowed and opened his mouth and said, "Can I...can..."
"If you have any questions, let's talk about it after the training." The instructor interrupted expressionlessly, and then motioned to the staff on the side to flip the switch.
Along with the sound of mechanical friction, the multi-axis training device immediately began to rotate, and Zhang Heng and others also understood what the so-called "cat was thrown into the laundry bucket" meant.
I saw the fat man in the center seat rolling with the instrument with a face full of horror, his body spinning continuously in the air, and this was just the beginning. Half a minute later, the instructor spoke again, "Speed up."
The fat man was so dizzy that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. This feeling was a hundred times more exciting than being tied to the front of a roller coaster. He had long forgotten what he was doing here. , I just want to get through this torturous training quickly.
However, things went against his expectations. He did not expect the instrument to stop, and the rolling became more and more intense.
Zhang Heng silently took two steps back when he saw this, but at this moment everyone's main attention was still on the multi-axis training device. Zhang Heng's small movements did not attract much attention. Only a girl wearing glasses followed him. They retreated to the back together, and then saw that the fat man on the multi-axis training device could no longer control himself.
His face, which had turned blue from holding back, instantly relaxed, and at the same time, a large amount of vomit spurted out of his mouth.
All the people standing in front suffered a disaster, being caught in the rain of gastric juice and food falling from the sky. One of the guys was the unluckiest, with his mouth open as wide as possible. He was thinking about what to do when it was his turn, but he didn't. Thinking of it, I tasted the bitter taste in advance.
The staff noticed the fainting fat man and worried that he was choking on his own vomit. They immediately stopped the training device. At the same time, the medical staff who were already on standby immediately rushed forward, unfastened the seat belt, and pulled the fat man away. The fat man dragged himself off the chair.
While the staff was cleaning the instruments, the instructor had already started calling names again, "Next, Anthony."
When the player named Anthony heard this, his expression was not much better than that of the fat man before. Although someone had already become the first person to eat crabs, the people behind him became even more uneasy after seeing how ferocious the crabs were.
Compared with the previous fat man, the guy named Anthony has a very good figure. He obviously exercises regularly. The muscles on his arms are bulging. He should have good fighting ability. This also gives him more choices. His eyes swept over There were stairs and the door on the stairs not far away, but after just a moment of hesitation, he sat down on the training device obediently.
This is not the first time he has entered the game. The risk of rashly resisting and escaping from this room before the situation is clear is too high, not to mention that their main mission this time requires entering space. This is not a person. You can go up there just by tying a flying monkey. In addition to the astronauts themselves, you also need a large number of scientists, backup, and ground command... No matter how fierce the multi-axis training device is, it will not threaten lives. It makes no sense to directly choose force just because of this kind of thing. Resist.
Therefore, Anthony obediently experienced the pleasure of rolling and spinning in the air. He performed better than the fat man before. He persisted for half a minute longer, and it was not until he stepped off the training device that he held on to the escalator next to him and vomited.
"Livingston." The instructor called the third person's name as if he hadn't seen it.
The player named Livingston is the oldest among them all. He should be nearly forty years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Unlike Anthony, he looks very gentle and should belong to the category of intellectuals. His face shows With a wry smile, he had just cleaned the vomit on his glasses and handed the glasses to the staff on the side.
"Great, at least we will soon know what everyone has for dinner." The girl who retreated with Zhang Heng murmured in a low voice.
Her words basically represent the helplessness of all players. Everyone present has now understood that no one can escape today.
The roll call went very quickly. After all, the people who went up also came down very quickly. Especially the middle-aged man wearing glasses also set an example for the players behind him. Not long after the multi-axis training device accelerated, he shouted stop, looking like an instructor. The man did not make things difficult for him and asked the staff to turn off the equipment.
Although the middle-aged man was still swaying around after he came down, he managed to endure it all the way to the bathroom before vomiting while hugging the toilet. So the people behind him also learned the lesson and stopped holding on, and asked to stop if they couldn't stand it anymore. , finally not so embarrassed, but Zhang Heng noticed that the instructor's brows were getting tighter and tighter.
In the end, only Zhang Heng was left among the seven people who had not yet boarded the multi-axis training device.
