The captain was originally worried that these new astronaut candidates would be shaken and psychologically shadowed after seeing their companions die in front of him, but judging from the evaluation results, he seemed to be overly worried this time.
Considering the tight time limit, everyone had resumed training in the afternoon.
According to the original arrangement, the lunar lander training was followed by flight training, but this time it was different from the past. There was no instructor sitting behind them to guide them.
After more than a month of intense training, the trainees are about to fly alone for the first time.
NASA has always attached great importance to flight lessons, calling it "aerospace preparatory training." The situation of pilots and spacecraft drivers have many things in common, such as the need to constantly judge the current safety situation and mission priorities in the sky. , weather conditions, fuel level and flight route...and then make various decisions in a short time based on the collected intelligence.
In the event of aircraft failure or other emergencies, pilots must respond correctly, and they all need to use radio to stay in contact with the ground control center.
Therefore, flight training has always been the top priority in training, and it is also the training in which players invest the most time and energy.
However, the "accident" in the morning had just passed, and the murderer had not been found. Even NASA's accident identification report had not been released. Everyone can only guess what caused the crash of the lunar landing training aircraft and the strong man named Anthony on it. What is it.
The main thing is that no one knows how the other party does it.
Except for the young man who was accused of sneaking out at night, no one else seemed to have left the space center. In normal times, everyone almost always did activities together. It stands to reason that no one should have come into contact with the lunar landing training machine in advance.
During training, Anthony was the first to climb up. At that time, other players were standing beside the captain. Because Zhang Heng's results were basically locked in first place, he did not focus entirely on the moon landing training. On the plane, some energy was spent on other people, but no one was found to show any obvious abnormality during this period.
Supernatural power?
Considering that all the players entering the dungeon are likely to carry game props, this is also the most reasonable explanation at present, but in this way, there are many possibilities.
Zhang Heng could understand why the intellectual-looking middle-aged man wanted to find the murderer so much, because if this matter was not solved, there would be a Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head.
However, as long as the main mission is not completed, everyone can only continue to train hard.
…………
After all, a major accident had just occurred, and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base seemed very nervous. The jet used for this training was also checked several times by ground staff to ensure that there were no mechanical failures.
Zhang Heng put on a special flight suit, put on a helmet and an oxygen mask, and sat in the cockpit. For other players, this may indeed be the first time to fly alone, but he has flown alone many times in previous transition copies. , In fact, when training with the T-38 before, the flight instructor sitting in the back was full of praise for his performance.
Zhang Heng's lv1 aircraft piloting skills may not be as good as those of professional pilots, but they are enough to cope with the current copy, especially after strengthening and consolidating during this period. All he lacks is flying experience.
The young people and high school students at the front have completed flight training, which also allows the remaining players to put their minds back a little.
Zhang Heng was the third person to conduct training. He fastened his seat belt, pulled out the safety pin of the ejection seat, turned on the head-up display, lower display, and corresponding switches, and turned on the aircraft's radar and flight control respectively. , communication system, engine system, start the APU and engine, check the instrument panel, and confirm that everything is fine.
Then he made an OK gesture to the ground crew outside, who helped him remove the ladder and wheel blocks and unplug the power supply. Zhang Heng released the handbrake and let the plane taxi out of the hangar and onto the runway.
It was still windy in the afternoon, but the weather was much better than in the morning. The most important thing was that the sun was clear and it was still very suitable for flying.
At 13:45, Zhang Heng spoke to the tower and requested to take off. After receiving approval, he pushed the throttle of his left hand to the maximum, accelerating the aircraft to 220 kilometers per hour, and then pulled back the control stick to complete a beautiful lift-off action.
The plane left the ground smoothly. Zhang Heng glanced at the attitude indicator, confirmed the elevation and slope of the nose, and flew towards the mission target point.
This training required him to find a frigate named Miller at sea and then return.
The mission content was not too complicated, especially for Zhang Heng. He just had to be careful not to miss the target. After confirming that everything was normal, he even had time to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
I have to admit that this game has indeed changed him in many ways.
Six months ago, no matter how crazy he was, he would never have thought of what would happen today. You must know that even a rich second generation would only focus on the excitement of racing outside the Fifth Ring Road and imagining that he was Fujiwara Takumi, and he had already Driving a fighter jet, he flew over the territorial waters of the United States.
At 13:52, Zhang Heng spoke to the tower for the second time and reported his flight altitude and Mach number. At the same time, he also checked the plane's fuel level. Everything was still as normal, but the sunlight outside the window was a bit dazzling.
It only took Zhang Heng less than ten minutes to find the target frigate. At 13:59, he spoke to the tower for the third time. After confirming that the mission had been completed, Zhang Heng turned around and returned.
However, he only flew for four and a half minutes when the fuselage suddenly began to tremble violently. Through the cockpit glass, Zhang Heng saw the engine on the left side of the fighter jet burst into flames, accompanied by billowing smoke.
A piercing alarm sounded immediately in his ears, and at the same time the tower commander's voice came from the communication channel, "David, what happened?"
"I may have hit something, a seagull or something else." Zhang Heng said, and at the same time shut down the burning engine as soon as possible.
"Can you still fly back, David?"
Zhang Heng looked at the descending altimeter on the instrument panel and said, "Let me give it a try."
Zhang Heng has remained calm until now. In the transition copy, he and Armstrong practiced how to deal with this situation. However, he had just controlled the flight state and before he had time to raise the fuselage, the only thing left on the right side was There was also a loud noise from the engine.
The fighter lost all power in just half a minute.
