The selection of astronauts has its own set of strict standards.
Even if Wang Donglai achieved excellent results in the vestibular function test, he still had to conduct other tests.
So, after applauding, everyone continued to test.
Wang Donglai’s performance was like a catfish being put into a school of fish, stimulating the competitive spirit of Jing Peng and others.
No matter what, they are all professionals.
If even Wang Donglai can't compare in the test and assessment, this will undoubtedly deny them fundamentally.
Even if the vestibular function test is not comparable to Wang Donglai, there are no other tests.
Wang Donglai cannot be a superman who can achieve good results in all test items.
With this idea in mind, we started the second test.
Centrifuge overweight endurance test.
Many people have never even heard of this test project, but when they hear the name, they can guess the content of the test.
Obviously, the test content is in the name of this project.
Through the centrifuge, the endurance of the pre-selected astronauts in the overweight environment will be tested.
It seems complicated, but these are all items that must be assessed in the aerospace field.
Because when the space rocket takes off, enters the satellite orbit, and returns to the earth, the astronauts will be subjected to extremely terrifying oppression.
This has also been popularized in the past.
During takeoff, astronauts generally bear pressures up to 5G due to various reasons against atmospheric pressure, sometimes even reaching 8G.
Compared with ordinary people, under normal circumstances, when carrying 2G pressure, they will experience dizziness and difficulty breathing.
If the body is any worse, the situation will only become more serious, and may even affect the safety of internal organs, posing a threat to life safety.
The pressure that astronauts have to bear is several times higher than that of ordinary people. You can imagine how terrifying it is.
If you are careful about this, you will see that every time a space-related video is broadcast, you can see the astronaut lying on his back.
This posture does not appear for no reason. It has also been carefully calculated. This posture will greatly reduce the impact of overweight on astronauts.
Scientists have also discovered the mystery through rigorous calculations and experiments.
The reasons are many and complex.
The most important thing is that astronauts all over the world have adopted this posture.
Testing begins soon.
This test is actually very simple, and the assessment results are generally calculated in seconds.
Being able to hold on for five or six seconds under the pressure of 8G is extremely good based on the usual records. There is no problem at all in being selected as an astronaut.
The reason why our country can catch up with the West in the aerospace field is that we keep the pressure at about 5G in daily training, and train everything according to reality.
Sometimes, the pressure is even increased to 8G to try to push the limits of astronauts.
The assessment begins.
The first batch of examiners to enter the centrifuge all chose higher gravity pressure without any surprise.
8G!
The high gravity immediately made the leaders of the training center break out in cold sweat.
Even reserve astronauts are important protected personnel for the country.
If an accident occurs during an assessment because the difficulty of the assessment is set too high, the leader responsible for assessment and training will be criticized and held accountable.
So, faced with the requests made by these examiners, the leaders of the training center just thought about it for a moment and then refused.
It was not a hard refusal, but a more tactful approach.
The pressure will be set at 3 G within the first three seconds when the centrifuge starts running, and then slowly increase until the examiner can no longer bear it.
This approach is very reasonable, so after it was proposed, no one had any objections, and it was quickly implemented.
As a result, the results of the first batch of assessors came out soon.
"The final score of machine No. 1 is 5 G and nine seconds!"
"The final score of machine No. 2 is 6 G and ten seconds!"
"The final score of machine No. 3 is 5 G and ten seconds!"
After hearing the reported assessment results, everyone who had not yet taken the assessment felt nervous.
These results are considered excellent results in normal times.
However, now almost everyone can perform it.
It will undoubtedly put a great psychological pressure on everyone who has not yet taken the assessment.
It didn’t make anyone think too much, the assessment process went very quickly.
Assessing three people at a time takes only ten seconds at most.
So it went very quickly.
As for the assessment results, I don’t know whether it was because of the emergence of Wang Donglai, a dark horse, or because everyone’s competitiveness was aroused.
Everyone’s results in this project assessment were extremely excellent.
None of them are lower than 5G, and the time is more than nine seconds.
People like Jing Peng, Chen Dong, etc. even exceeded the 8G pressure standard and lasted for thirteen seconds.
As before, Wang Donglai was the last to conduct the assessment.
When Wang Donglai entered the centrifuge, everyone's eyes were on Wang Donglai.
Everyone was very curious and wanted to see if Wang Donglai could create a miracle like before.
The atmosphere also became slightly tense in the blink of an eye.
Wang Donglai, who was inside the machine, seemed to not feel the gazes of everyone and the tense atmosphere at this time, and still acted extremely calm.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Donglai made an OK gesture to the examiners outside, and the test officially began.
The machine started spinning crazily in an instant.
The speed was so fast that the terrifying pressure was evenly applied to every inch of Wang Donglai's skin, and as if it had the ability to penetrate, it penetrated from Wang Donglai's body surface and oppressed Wang Donglai's five internal organs. Six Fu organs.
To use the most appropriate description, Wang Donglai at this moment feels like a stone weighing several kilograms has been pressed down on him, oppressing him from the inside out, from top to bottom. Come with Wang Dong.
This feeling only appeared briefly for a moment.
Then, Wang Donglai's body seemed to adapt, and the originally serious discomfort suddenly weakened a lot.
Wang Donglai understood that this was a situation that only occurred after his physical fitness was too strong and his adaptability was greatly enhanced.
As time goes by, Wang Donglai is under increasing pressure.
From a few thousand catties, to tens of thousands of catties, and then to tens of thousands of catties.
If the heavy feeling of oppression were placed on other people, I am afraid it would have already made them confused, their blood pumping, and their bodies feeling uncomfortable.
However, from the outside, Wang Donglai has not changed much. On the contrary, under such circumstances, you can still control your body autonomously and perform various difficult movements.
While doing this, Wang Donglai was still counting silently in his heart.
It’s not just Wang Donglai who’s counting.
The people outside who were waiting nervously were also counting.
Seven seconds!
Eight seconds!
Nine seconds!
Ten seconds!
Everyone seemed surprised that Wang Donglai could hold on for ten seconds, but also felt that it was reasonable.
At this time, the pressure on Wang Donglai had reached the pressure when the spacecraft returned.
It can be said that every second of persistence is a huge gap.
But Wang Donglai seemed not to feel it, his face was calm and his eyes were clear.
Eleven seconds!
Twelve seconds!
Thirteen seconds!
When Wang Donglai broke the examination record, it caused a small uproar among the crowd.
Following the vestibular function assessment and the centrifuge gravity test, Wang Donglai, an amateur, outperformed all major professional pilots and other professionals.
As I said before, if it hadn't appeared in front of them, and they knew that there was no possibility of fraud, no one would believe anything they said.
Seeing that Wang Donglai persisted for thirteen seconds and still did not give up, everyone, including the assessment leaders, became curious.
That's how long Wang Donglai can last?
With this thought in mind, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wang Donglai who was doing the test.
At this moment.
Wang Donglai, who was undergoing the assessment, also thought about this problem.
I have obviously broken the previous assessment results of Jing Peng and others. It can be said that among this group of assessment personnel, my results are in the first order.
So is it necessary for me to continue to persevere?
This question just flashed in Wang Donglai's mind, and he had the answer.
I counted five numbers silently in my mind again.
At exactly 20 seconds, Wang Donglai signaled to the assessors outside.
Seeing Wang Donglai’s pause signal, the examiner immediately paused the machine.
Originally, someone was going to step up and help Wang Donglai, but when they saw that Wang Donglai's expression was normal and he could move freely, they stopped.
Others have also noticed this.
Comparing it with the performance of everyone who came out of the machine before, everyone immediately understood.
20 seconds may not be Wang Donglai’s limit.
Everyone tacitly agreed on this conclusion, and no one said it out loud.
"Academician Wang, you have broken another record."
"You lasted 20 seconds under 8G pressure. As far as I know, such a result is not only the leading level in China, but even on a global scale. They are also at the leading level."
Yang Anchao praised Wang Donglai with a proud smile.
Hearing Yang Anchao's words, Wang Donglai acted very calmly, nodded, and said: "Maybe, I also have some talent as an astronaut!"
Jing Peng was standing aside. Chen Dong and others were speechless for a moment when they heard what Wang Donglai said.
If Wang Donglai only has a little talent, then what are they?
As before, everyone continued to walk towards the location of the next project, preparing for the testing and review of the next project.
Walking on the road, Jing Peng took the initiative to walk up to Wang Donglai, stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Academician Wang, my name is Jing Peng!"
He extended his hand to Jing Peng Wang Donglai did not hesitate and immediately stretched out his hand. He held his hands and said: "Hello, brother Jing, I am Wang Donglai!"
Jing Peng was a little surprised by Wang Donglai's title. He obviously did not expect that Wang Donglai was successful at a young age and was not domineering, but He called his brother politely.
The smile on his face became more sincere, and Jing Peng said in a slightly emotional tone: "Academician Wang, seeing you today, I finally understand what genius is."
"Really What I didn't expect was that Academician Wang not only had such a strong talent in the academic field, but also had such a strong physical talent. Facing the aviation The selection of talented people can crush us so-called professionals."
"If I had known that Academician Wang would also come to take part in the assessment, and the results would still be like this, I would never have come. It really hurts people’s self-confidence.”
Jing Peng said jokingly to Wang Donglai with a smile on his face.
Wang Donglai also laughed out loud and said: "Brother Jing, you're welcome, I'm just getting the credit for my physical fitness. When it comes to professional abilities, I'm definitely not as well trained as Brother Jing." ”
"Skills have specializations. Before the assessment, I didn't know that I would have such performance and assessment results. Brother Jing, you have made an indelible contribution to the development of our country's aerospace industry. I believe that everyone I will never forget it.”
The sedan chair was carrying people, and since Jing Peng showed his kindness, Wang Donglai naturally did not hesitate to say a few nice words.
Sure enough, when he heard Wang Donglai say this, the smile on Jing Peng's face became even stronger.
Jing Peng’s movements were not hidden, so Chen Dong and others also noticed it.
Only when they saw Jing Peng and Wang Dong chatting happily did Chen Dong and others react.
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
In the end, Chen Dong and a few others who were bolder and more outgoing approached Wang Donglai.
Like Jing Peng, several people greeted Wang Donglai one after another and introduced themselves.
"Academician Wang, among the academicians I know, you are the best!"
Chen Dong said, giving a thumbs up and praising from the bottom of his heart.
Faced with Chen Dong's praise, Wang Donglai replied with a smile: "Everyone who has been able to come here has already proven himself." It’s all good to have the country in your heart!”< br>
A smile appeared on Chen Dong's face and he said: "Hahaha, thank you very much for the compliment, Academician Wang."
For a time, the atmosphere between the few people was extremely harmonious, and there was no need to worry about it at all. It was like meeting for the first time, but like a reunion of old friends.
Seeing that Wang Donglai, Jing Peng and others were getting along well and chatting happily, Yang Anchao and others were also a little surprised.
However, this surprise was put aside after a little thought.
After all, in their impression, Wang Donglai is more of a scholar who studies theory and technology, rather than such a businessman who is good at talking.
Not to mention what Yang Anchao and other people who knew Wang Donglai thought in their hearts.
Minister Jia was complaining a little at this time.
The reason why he invited Wang Donglai was not because he really agreed to let Wang Donglai participate in the space mission.
In his imagination, facing the carefully selected pre-selected astronauts, Wang Donglai's assessment results pale in comparison.
In this way, there is a legitimate reason to reject Wang Donglai's proposal and give up Wang Donglai's idea.
However, as things have developed so far, it has become like shooting oneself in the foot.
Seeing that Wang Donglai has achieved extremely excellent results in two difficult assessments, most of the remaining assessments will not be difficult for Wang Donglai.
Minister Jia felt a little regretful at this time. He should not have agreed to let Wang Dong come to participate in the assessment. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened at all. (End of chapter)
