Chapter 284 Xiangjiang Station, Hong Kong Circuit
At this time, the media invited by China also swarmed up, surrounded several people, and aimed their guns and cannons at several people. The person in charge of the aviation department could not Don't come out to maintain order.
"Friends from the media, astronauts who have come from afar still need rest and rehabilitation training to adapt to gravity. Please be considerate and don't take up too much time."
大The news was so close that the media could not hold back. However, since this was indeed someone else's place, they could only recommend a few representatives after discussing with each other.
"Hello, Mr. Brett, first of all, congratulations on your safe return to Earth. Is there anything you want to say now?" a reporter asked.
"Now, what can I say." Brett on the stretcher shrugged, "Thank you China."
"So, where are Miss Qiao and Mr. Edge?"
"I What I want to say is similar to Brett. Thank you China. This matter has nothing to do with them, but they are willing to provide us with humanitarian rescue. We can return to Earth safely, and they have contributed a lot." said.
As for Qiao, he is currently busy with Yingyu Long Niwai.
"So, do you have anything to say about the whole process of this accident?" a reporter asked.
"Trapped in a dilapidated space station, and then learning that the person I was loyal to had abandoned me without hesitation, and that it was my childhood friend who was willing to save me, what do you think I should say? ." Brett said.
Brett didn’t say anything, but he said everything. For this group of media, this kind of ambiguous speech is their favorite, because it gives them more room to play. .
After the media left with satisfaction, the three Bretts were also taken for a comprehensive physical examination.
At this time, a small number of people jumped out and asked when China plans to arrange for astronauts to return to the United States.
This attitude made everyone laugh.
[Isn’t NASA already planning to give up on them? Why is it that now that China has rescued them, it can't wait to send them back? 】
【To be honest, if I were Brett, I would never go back. 】
【What are you going to do? Are you going to be sent to space by them to die after a while? 】
However, compared with netizens who spoke more fiercely, China's official statement was watertight.
"The three astronauts are still recovering from their return to Earth from space and are not suitable to continue traveling. As for the return date of the three astronauts, China respects their own opinions."
As for the opinions of the three astronauts themselves, after the photos of Brett and Joe in wheelchairs entering with Lin De at the entrance of the GPX Xiangjiang Station training day venue were taken, they should not be more obvious.
“Long time no see, Brett.” It wasn’t DRS’s training time yet, so everyone was still doing nothing in the maintenance area. After seeing Brett, they all came over to say hello.
Seeing these old friends again, Brett seemed to be in a good mood. Although he couldn't stand up to say hello yet, he still responded to them one by one.
“Is this your CF car?” Brett seemed very interested in the two people’s cars. “It looks really different up close than what you saw in the broadcast.”
"Hey, that's pretty cool." Xiao Hao, who had already changed into his racing suit and was about to go on training, patted the tail wing of the Tornado Charge, "You haven't touched a racing car since you retired from WGP, right? Let me tell you, being an astronaut is not as interesting as being a racing driver.”
Brett in the wheelchair also smiled knowingly after hearing this familiar way of speaking, and then said: "Really, but the speed of the spaceship I drive in space is much faster than your car."
"This is different! How can a spaceship compare with a racing car!" Xiao Hao said.
"They are all means of transportation, why can't they be used?" Brett chuckled. Even though so many years have passed, it is still so fun to tease a fool like Xiaohao.
"Damn it! If you have the ability, go to the field and compete!" Xiao Hao said unconvinced.
"That's almost it. We don't have a car that can let him pass the AI verification." Lin De pressed Xiao Hao into the car, and then buckled the helmet on his head, "Besides, even if In a real competition, you may not be able to beat him, he is also someone who can enter the realm of zero.”
"Really?" At this time, Mihail's voice rang out from behind them.
After completing today’s on-field training, Mihail heard that Brett had come over and wanted to say hello, but he didn’t expect to hear this heavyweight news as soon as he arrived. .
"When did it happen? It couldn't be the Zero Realm that we entered by flying a spaceship, right?" Mihail said, looking at Brett.
"It's true." Lin Tie said, "If he hadn't entered the Zero Realm at the critical moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back."
"I see." Mi Haier said, "What are your plans for the future? Why don't you come and drive a racing car with us?"
"Sorry, I don't have such plans for the time being. The reason why I came here with Lin De this time is just to see my old friend again." Brett said, "As for the future, I may stay in China."
This In the past few days, he has talked with the head of China's aerospace department. The Chinese Space Administration has given full sincerity. More importantly, it may be that only in China will he have the opportunity to go to space again. Therefore, not only He, the former first-generation space roamer team, chose to stay in the space base in northwest China, and their rooms were arranged.
"Is that so? That's really congratulations." Mihail smiled. He was quite familiar with Brett, and naturally knew what Brett's goal had always been, but to be honest, before After the rise of China and the failure of NASA, it is estimated that only China can truly realize its ambitions.
“You’re all here, why don’t we have a meal together after training to celebrate Brett’s safe return?” At this time, Fujiyoshi, whose life motto is “Let’s order food first,” suggested a dinner party. .
"Alright, let's call Carlo and Nie Ming by the way." Mihail nodded.
At this time, it was DRS's turn to train. After Xiao Hao took the lead in driving the Tornado Charge, Lin Dai also changed his clothes and got into the Tai Chi Dragon, and slowly drove the car out of the maintenance area. The main race venue of Xiangjiang Station this time is quite special, so during training, we only used the small racing track that was transformed from the home stadium built by the French team in WGP here. As for the venue of the main race, it starts from here. After 10 laps of the course, we went to the outdoor road and ran a lap around the Xiangjiang River, covering a total distance of 200 kilometers.
The total length of the race is the shortest among all the races that have been conducted so far. However, after breaking away from the rules of the circle race, how to consider the supply issue of the car is This gave Xiaolie, as the technical director, a headache.
In this competition, there are not too many regulations on the maintenance area settings of each team. It only stipulates that each team can set up three maintenance points on the track in advance. As for the location of the maintenance points, There are no regulations. In other words, this is entirely an issue that the technical directors of each team should consider.
DRS is okay here. We only need to consider the loss of tires, and there is no need to worry about energy. For a 200-kilometer journey, whether it is Tai Chi Dragon or Tornado Charge's battery, it is more than enough to complete the entire journey.
Teams that are still using traditional energy sources have a headache. With the performance of CF racing cars, if traditional energy sources are used, they will need to refuel once every 200 kilometers. However, how to do this without affecting the rhythm of tire replacement? Replenishing energy is the most important thing.
However, the biggest headache for Xiaolie is the problem of insufficient manpower. As a new team, DRS currently has the fewest technicians among all teams, and those who have teams with various levels of competitions have Even if traditional giants don't have enough manpower, they can temporarily transfer personnel directly from the F1F2 team, but they don't have this condition. As for recruiting temporary workers, forget it. Without professional training, temporary workers will only cause trouble.
“Let’s just divide the existing people into three groups. Although the speed may be a little slower than other teams, at least there will be no problems.” Chen Hewang said at this time, “I will be in charge of one group and jump up. Take charge of one group, and then call Kurosawa from the headquarters to take charge of one group, and you will be responsible for it. "
"It seems that this is the only way to go," Xiao Lie said. "It's just that this way, our inherent disadvantage is relatively large."
"Each car at each station is delayed for about three seconds, which is about the same as the time it takes for them to replenish fuel." Chen Hewang said, "If we really hire temporary workers, we will lose even more due to an operational error."
After making the decision, Xiaolie divided them into three groups based on the existing technicians' standards, and then called Kurosawa, who was in charge of the manufacturing of the second-generation car at the team headquarters in Beijing.
At this time, Xiao Hao and Lin Shu also ended their training and returned to the maintenance area.
“Hey, this track is too small and difficult to run, so it’s not interesting to run on. But it’s a pity that we can’t train on the race track.” Xiao Hao complained after taking off his helmet.
"The race track is a road. You can't just close the road for two weeks just to let us train." Lin De said angrily.
"Okay, since you are back, don't delay, take a shower and change clothes quickly, and don't delay eating." Fujiyoshi said at this time, in today's training schedule, their DRS training time is relatively small Come on, after such a long time, Master Fujiyoshi is starving. Especially after tasting five different meals a day in Guangzhou some time ago, Master Fujiyoshi is also full of expectations for the delicious food here in Xiangjiang, which also belongs to Guangdong. .
"Okay, then let's walk." Lin Shu nodded.
After everyone had finished changing clothes, Lin Shu and Xiao Hao called up their old friends and set off together to the hotel they had booked in advance.
“I didn’t expect you to come too.” When they arrived at the dining place, after everyone sat down, Brett looked at Carlo and chuckled. The relationship between the two could not be said to be very good, especially since Brett was here After retiring, he focused on training, and his impression of Carlo remained at the stage when he was a loner and didn't like to talk to anyone during the WGP period.
"Why, aren't you welcome?" Carlo raised his eyebrows and said.
“That’s not true.” Brett shook his head, “I just think it’s a little strange that you would hang out with people from the Dragon Team and the Victory Team.”
"What's so strange about this?" Mihail laughed. "Among us former WGP players, we are the only ones who are still active in the racing circuit."
"Okay, I made a mistake." Brett nodded.
"By the way, are you really not going to try to drive a CF racing car? If you can enter the Zero Realm, you will definitely be able to make achievements in the GPX arena." Mihai also wanted to persuade him again. He persuaded Brett to come over and drive a racing car, "Even if you join China, it won't affect your participation in GPX."
"The training of astronauts is very busy." Brett in the wheelchair shook his head and said, "Special After I decided to join China's astronaut program, I still had a lot of new things to learn. It was during this recovery period that I had time to walk around, waiting for my body to be able to withstand the intensity of training. After that, I have to start training again, otherwise I may not be able to catch up with China's Callisto exploration plan."
"Is God so attractive?" Nie Ming said in surprise at this time, "You are the only one. You just escaped from death in space, and now you are thinking about your next trip to space?”
"Of course, after entering the universe and facing the vast starry sky, I know that exploring this starry sky as much as possible is the meaning of the rest of my life." Brett said.
"What about you, Sister Qiao?" Jenna looked at Qiao, who had been stuck with the Eagle Feather Dragon.
"Me?" Qiao glanced at the Eagle Feather Dragon who had been by his side. "As for me, I will probably stay in China as a ground crew. As for space, I may not go there again, because in There are still people on earth that I care about.”
“Hey~” Qiao’s straightforward words made everyone present feel a little nauseous, especially those singles.
"It seems that good things for you are coming soon." Okita Kai smiled at this time.
After Qiao glanced at Okita Hai, although the muscles of his arms were still weak due to weightlessness, he still tried his best to move the wheelchair so that he could completely block the gap between Eagle Feather Dragon and this guy. Then he continued, "We plan to hold the wedding after my body has fully recovered."
"Really? Congratulations." Jenna said, with a bit of envy in her eyes. Lin Ye noticed the little girl's expression and reached out to ruffle her beautiful white hair.
"You are so envious. Chinese law stipulates that I must be 22 years old before I can register for marriage. I can still run away." Lin De said, dumbfounding.
"How can I not!" Jenna pouted and put away Lin Shu's hand, but her beautiful eyes were already full of smiles, and she was very satisfied with Lin Shu's answer.
"Why don't we leave? It feels like this place is not very friendly to us." Huo Yuesheng lowered his head and said to Xiao Hao beside him.
"That's right." Xiao Hao nodded in agreement.
"Oh, man." Gao Xiaoman heard the two men's murmurings and rolled his eyes at Huo Yuesheng before saying.
