Zhang Heng had been thinking about the middle-aged man named Einstein he met before. He didn't know whether the "magnificent desolation" mentioned in his first sentence was intentional or a coincidence.
Because this sentence was exactly what Buzz Aldrin, who walked on the moon with Armstrong, felt when he stepped off the lunar module and saw the scene on the moon.
However, he could no longer find the latter. Einstein was obviously a pseudonym. Zhang Heng currently only knew that the middle-aged man was a scientific researcher working in Area 51. However, due to the nature of Area 51, unless the other party came to see him again, he would not be able to find the latter. It is impossible to meet each other again.
The latter is like the sandstorm at dusk, appearing suddenly and disappearing suddenly.
Early the next morning, Zhang Heng also paid special attention to the expressions of Fatty Jia Lai and Bruno. Judging from their looks, nothing special happened last night. They obviously did not see the man who claimed to be Einstein like him. guy, but Zhang Heng could only put this matter aside for now, because the next step was wilderness survival training.
This training will also determine the final candidate to fly on Apollo 11, but it may not be in the way NASA expects.
…………
After breakfast, Zhang Heng and others put on their spacesuits. Area 51 sent a car to take them to the training location. There was a simulation cabin that had been placed in advance and plunged into the yellow sand to simulate the return to Earth and services. Separate command module.
The simulation cabin and the command cabin are built at a one-to-one ratio, and the configuration inside is the same as the command cabin, with all the items needed to survive in the wild.
The military truck pulled Zhang Heng and the other two people to the simulation cabin, and the driver left after all three people got in.
The captain and NASA staff were observing the situation here with telescopes two kilometers away.
NASA has also learned lessons from previous incidents. This time, medical teams and emergency rescue teams are on standby nearby, as well as helicopters and off-road vehicles for maneuver. In addition, the Area 51 Air Force Base not far away is also guaranteed to be there. Provide assistance when necessary.
With such preparation, almost no accidents will happen.
The space in the simulation cabin is very small. In fact, the entire spacecraft is carefully designed. Taking a modern rocket as an example, about 50kg of fuel will be added for every 1kg of weight increase. In order to ensure that the spacecraft has sufficient escape velocity, On the one hand, the launch vehicle needs to have sufficient thrust, and on the other hand, the spacecraft needs to be as light as possible.
Therefore, after ensuring functionality and safety as much as possible, we can only sacrifice part of the driving experience.
The three of them were now crammed into the crowded simulation cabin, their bodies next to each other, which seemed ironic as they all wanted to kill each other.
Especially Bruno, his breathing was obviously rapid, and he didn't know what he was thinking. On the other hand, Jia Lai and Zhang Heng seemed much calmer, especially the latter, whose breathing hardly changed.
The environment inside the cabin is now too cramped, and everyone is wearing heavy spacesuits, so there is little room for movement, so even if you have any ideas, it is impossible to realize them.
I don't know how much time passed, during which the three of them remained silent until the sound of the radio came to their ears, and the captain told them that they could start training.
Jia Lai, who was closest to the cabin door, climbed out first, followed by Bruno. Zhang Heng was the last one to leave the simulation cabin. He stepped on the soft sand with his feet and took off his helmet. He felt like he was back in the outside world. .
Looking up, there is a desolate scene all around, except for some sparse shrubs, only a monotonous tone remains.
But then they faced another embarrassing problem, which was how to take off their spacesuits. The spacesuits were designed to be used in space, but they became a burden after landing. It was impossible to carry such a heavy set of equipment. You can't move, and it consumes a lot of energy.
Therefore, after the command module fell back to the ground, the first thing the astronauts did was to take off this set of equipment.
But even after so many trainings, if you only rely on yourself, it will take a lot of time to take off all these things. If there are companions to help each other, this process can be greatly shortened, but the problem is now The three of them were wary of each other, and they didn't want others to resume action first.
Finally, Zhang Heng said to Jia Lai, "Let me help you take it off first."
A look of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes, but he still nodded. Bruno immediately regretted it. He and Jia Lai were nominal allies. He should have stepped forward to help at this time. Unexpectedly, he was snatched away by Zhang Heng. First of all, there are actually people from NASA observing in the distance now. Even if they want to kill the opponent, they are unlikely to take action at this time.
When the fat man took off his spacesuit, he also helped Zhang Heng take off his spacesuit. Finally, Bruno on the other side finally broke away from the shackles of that suit and put on a NASA ground uniform.
During this period, Zhang Heng returned to the simulation cabin once more and took out food and water from the storage room. In addition, there were also possible instruments that could be used.
The three people first conducted long-distance help communication according to the training plan, reported the general location of the three people to the control center, and then began to build a wild survival bunker.
Zhang Heng has done this kind of thing countless times in the first round of dungeons, but now he does not need to collect raw materials everywhere, because NASA has considered various situations on the way back and made preparations in advance. What they have to do Just drag out all the materials and assemble them in order.
Fatty also had to admit that as far as teammates were concerned, Zhang Heng was probably the most ideal type, calm, versatile, reliable... but as an opponent, this was not a good thing.
This also means that it will be more difficult for him to kill the opponent. If he doesn't take action, he will kill him with one blow, because the opponent will not give him a second chance. Fortunately, Jia Lai has always been a very patient person. , otherwise he would not have disguised himself as a harmless cute dolphin at the beginning of the dungeon, and waited until Zhen Suo and Bruno teamed up to clear out other players before revealing his fangs.
He is like a poisonous snake, always finding the best time to hunt.
Therefore, he was very cooperative at the beginning of the wild survival training. After calling for help, he actively participated in building the bunker. The three of them worked for a quarter of an hour and put up the awning to block the scorching sun above their heads.
Due to training requirements, none of the three of them had breakfast. Zhang Heng shared the food he took out from the storage room with the other two. Although he was already feeling hungry, the fat man still did not swallow in a hurry, but gave Bruno a look at the side. .
The latter knew what Jialai meant, so he opened a bag of dehydrated food with a grimace, mixed it with the water in the sealed bag and put it into his mouth.
Xiao Dai Zhao said
Guess who Einstein is? Hoho, his position was actually quite clear in his words in the last chapter.
