"Bah bang bang..." Everyone cheered. This time the exercise achieved almost 100% good results. All the arrangements were in order, and in the end everything came back intact.
Of course, training still cannot be relaxed because time is running out. The exercise is over, and after all the results and fallacies have been screened, it is already June 25th! There are only 19 days left until July 14th.
On the ground, space shuttles are still being produced continuously, and a small number of national pilots who have undergone emergency training are constantly boarding space shuttles. Maybe their technology is not very good, but it is still possible to drive the space shuttle out of the atmosphere and maintain basic flight; after that, it can be completely controlled remotely. By using computers to operate, there is no battle, but only predetermined and planned tasks. Computers are better than humans.
In space, the training of new students of the Master Company also entered a tense moment. Now for these new students, it is no longer extreme training, but devil training; if it were not for their cultivation, most of them would not be able to persist. Even so, the elimination rate has been as high as 300 people so far. Big waves and sand, this is the essence of extreme training. Through this extreme method, the real elites are selected. These people, after proper training in the future, will all be masters who can stand alone.
Yang Zhi got up, not knowing what day it was now, all he knew was endless training and training! With limited resources in space, those who have been eliminated are either assigned to work in other positions or have been sent back to the ground - which means that they can only drive cars for the rest of their lives.
There were once ten people in the dormitory, but now only seven people remain.
"Ring ring..." In the dormitory, the bell rang, and the seven people almost immediately put on their clothes, washed their faces and brushed their teeth in a hurry, and then the staff would bring meals; 20 minutes later, everyone had gathered.
"Everyone, today is July 8th, and it is also the time for the final assessment. After today's assessment, your fate has basically been determined. Guys, work hard, the future of space belongs to you!
Set off! ”
After this period of extreme training, the veteran pilots who took turns were shocked. Even the country has criticized such intense training; in fact, according to what ordinary people can bear, such intensity of training is simply suicide. Fortunately, the master company has a secret weapon-cultivation!
In fact, the space age has higher requirements on human physical fitness! Here is just a microcosm of the future. As human beings' pace in space continues to expand, physical fitness will inevitably become the biggest obstacle restricting human beings from going into space.
Because humans are terrestrial creatures after all!
However, it is still too early to consider these. There are 240 people in this group, plus the space shuttle temporarily mobilized by the master company, which is enough for everyone to test at once.
From the time of gathering, the assessment has already begun. Before stepping out of space, Yang Zhi checked his spacesuit, which is a guarantee of life. No one can survive in space for more than a minute without any protection!
Through the control instruments embedded in the spacesuit, Yang Zhi gently controlled his Dream space shuttle to slowly approach the space base; the landing gear was lowered and gently attached to the back of the space base; the soft rubber tires ensured that the space shuttle did not have to interact with The steel monster of the space base collides. In space, there is no influence of the earth's gravity. The aircraft and the space base are closely attached to each other by their own weight.
Gently break away from the space base and use the micro-jet thruster carried by the space suit to adjust the action; this jet thruster injects breathable compressed air; the minimum thrust can be accurate to 1 gram, and the maximum can reach 1.8 kilograms ; It is an essential artifact for humans to walk in space.
But this thing has several fatal weaknesses. In order to simplify space management and save costs, it uses breathable compressed air - in other words, it is using life for propulsion; once it is not controlled well, a large amount of air will Leakage, the consequences would be disastrous.
In addition, the thrust is very small and the movement is slow; in addition, because there is no focus point in space, it is very difficult to control; it took two months of training before Yang Zhi could use this thing skillfully.
This is a dangerous journey; without the fetters of the rope, although it is free, it is dangerous. Once it is operated improperly, it can instantly escalate into an asteroid.
Yang Zhi slowly adjusted to get closer to the space shuttle; he slowly approached the space shuttle at a speed of almost three meters, and then used electromagnets to close the distance between himself and the space shuttle.
It took a full three minutes to board his plane; Yang Zhi felt very calm in his heart, without the initial panic or the joy after success; right now, there was only the plane in front of him. If you succeed in today's assessment, you will also independently own a space shuttle! And he will become a great pioneer in human exploration of space, and will participate in the first grand event after humans enter space.
No matter what happens in the future, this time will be recorded in history forever, because this is the first time for mankind to conquer, conquer, space, and space! ! !
Its meaning is incomparable!
The 240 space shuttles moved in sequence. After getting on the driver's seat, they slowly moved into space and formed a straight formation one thousand meters away from the space base.
A calm and somewhat cold voice came from the headset. This voice was already familiar to Yang Zhi. Liu Haibo, who is solely responsible for space training! "Get ready, start now. Two seconds, time returns to zero...Start now, ignite!"
Phew... 240 golden flames spurted out violently in an instant, and then turned into dazzling white light in just 0.3 seconds, which was a sign that the temperature exceeded 1800 degrees.
Such intense heat is enough to turn steel into noodles. This is also one of the biggest challenges that plagues plasma engines in the world.
After that, all the planes began to accelerate slowly and neatly, without any obvious mistakes. Because this assessment is not just about simple space shuttle driving, but also: collaboration.
Some of these aircraft use K02 engines and some use S02 engines, and the power is different. But the requirement of inspection is: everything must be consistent; everyone must learn to adjust.
240 space shuttles lined up in a straight line, moving laterally in space, accelerating, and accelerating rapidly.
All aircraft have 30x G-force enabled. This is a crazy limit.
Some aircraft with S02 engines leave long water vapor trails behind them.
The speed of the Apophis asteroid is 45 kilometers per second; if you want to intercept it, the space shuttle must at least be able to catch up with it - as for intercepting it head-on, it is too difficult! Because the asteroid carries too much energy, the best way is to drag it slowly behind it.
With 30 times gravity, even if he has already practiced, Yang Zhi, who is only at the third level of Qi training, still needs to grit his teeth and persevere. But, for the dream, fight hard!
His whole body was pressed tightly into the chair, and the spacesuit had no effect at all. His face was drooping and his chest seemed to be collapsing. I could vaguely hear my internal organs protesting.
However, to accelerate to 45 kilometers, it takes at least 150 seconds!
The roar of the engine was the only sound in my ears.
However, as a qualified pilot, you cannot close your eyes at this time, but keep your eyes open and monitor all instrument panels. This is an extreme test. There is no second-in-command, only a lone pilot.
"The situation is critical now. The acceleration of all aircrafts has been increased to 40 times!" Liu Haibo's cold voice came.
40 times! Not to mention the human body, even aluminum alloys have to deform.
But there is no choice. The assessment also includes assessment of unexpected situations.
However, at this time, someone finally couldn't maintain the formation and began to fall behind. Those who persisted until the end could only be eliminated from this event. Although they still have a chance to enter the next training, they can only sigh helplessly after missing this important event.
The aircraft accelerates to 50 kilometers and then to the moon position, and then decelerates by 30 times gravity before returning.
When they got off the plane, the pilots, who had almost no power, had to return to the space base on their own power. This is considered as completing the test. 240 people took the assessment, and the pass rate was just 50%. Although the remaining people are excellent, they can only wait for the next opportunity.
After experiencing such extreme acceleration along the way, the body will suffer a certain amount of trauma, so after returning to the dormitory, I can't rest and have to practice.
However, it is already very good to pass the assessment. Yang Zhi fell asleep tiredly.
On July 12, Apophis was visible with a simple telescope.
Coming! A tense atmosphere began to grip the world. Especially in China!
