Chapter 16 Consumables
In the evening, in order to write suggestions for the improvement of the iron barrel, Wang Pingan got a damage report of his airframe from the engineering department - the airframe has been confirmed to be scrapped, but these scrapped airframes will be carefully disassembled and inspected in order to accumulate data for future improvements .

The level of detail of this report is second only to the inspection report of the recovered wreckage.Every mature organism in the universe is basically piled up by a large number of human lives.

The iron barrel is still a new body, and the BALL replaced by it is still in production, because non-governmental groups such as the Children's Palace and various non-governmental companies are still purchasing this mature body in large quantities.

After all, countless astronauts have died on the BALL, and the reliability of life-saving piles is trustworthy, and the performance improvement of the iron barrel cannot offset the sense of security that this reliability brings to the astronauts.

And Wang Ping'an's report will become one of the countless bricks that will constitute the reliability of iron barrels in the future.

It's just that Wang Ping'an was the lucky one, the one who was alive.

Seeing the engineering department's inspection report on the body—actually the wreckage—Wang Ping'an was in a cold sweat.

The main engine was miraculously still working only because all the debris missed critical parts, with the closest point of impact being only 5cm from the main fuel line.

Only two of the attitude control jets remain fully functional, and both are on the same side.

This is equivalent to the body's posture adjustment being locked. Using a human analogy, a person can only turn to the right.

Wang Ping'an spent a long time recalling how he drove this thing back, and based on his vague impressions, he summed up on paper a set of methods to control the spaceship by comprehensively utilizing the remaining functions of multiple broken nozzles.

After dictating, he read it himself, and his first reaction was "this guy is bragging".

Fortunately, the guys from the engineering department have recovered the flight records from the black box, otherwise no one would believe what Wang Pingan concluded.

The main reason is that it is not surprising that this thing is used by a computer. After all, it is a computer. As long as there is a corresponding corresponding program, it can perform many delicate operations.

But Wang Pingan made such a subtle operation as a person, which makes people feel fake.

The key is that he still has no time to think in such an emergency situation and relies on instinct.

Wang Ping'an now has a feeling, is he the new human being who has adapted to the universe and evolved new instincts?But anthropologists believe that at least the second generation of cosmobiotic humans can have such an evolution.

Cosmic human beings are defined as being born in the universe and growing up in the universe; the second generation means that their parents were born in the universe and grew up in the universe, and such people are rare at present.

Anyway, Wang Ping'an is definitely not, his parents have never set foot in the universe.

As an old lieutenant who has served in the Space Force for seven years, the Space Force granted Wang Pingan a recuperation vacation in space according to the regulations. He can take no more than five relatives to space and stay in a nursing home for a month.

But dad Wang Dazhu studied for a long time, and finally chose to go to the recuperation center in Shizhaigou.

"It's not that I'm afraid of the shaking of the rocket when it takes off. I'm not afraid at all. I think there must be a reason for you to come down for vacation every once in a while. It means the ground is better. Who would be afraid of rockets?" Wang Dazhu said confidently.So the old couple just let go of the opportunity to visit the universe.

In short, people like Wang Ping'an are unlikely to become so-called new humans no matter how they think about it. Today's operations should be normal human improvisation.

Wang Pingan convinced himself so.

The most critical part of the report has been completed. The rest of the report, including some clichés, could have been completed by computer, but Wang Pingan hesitated and decided to dictate it himself.

Just at this time, Angeli came back, and saw that Wang Ping'an was dictating: "In order to better improve the performance of the iron barrel—no, the performance of the RB79 motor cabin, I have the following suggestions..."

Angeli: "Can't these parts be handed over to the computer for retouching? You just need to say your suggestion."

Wang Pingan: "This is not acceptable. If the computer-generated modification makes the person who reads the report miss the key points, wouldn't that be a bad thing? It might kill someone. This sentence doesn't need to be written, just delete it and just type it in. Why is this AI not good at all?" What about intelligence?"

Angeli watched Wang Ping'an scratching her head and trying to use words to let the AI ​​understand which section was wrong. She couldn't help but smile, and she patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder: "Let me do it."

As she spoke, she pulled out the keyboard and began to help Wang Pingan revise the report.

Not only did Wang Pingan not thank you, but he also said poorly: "Can you do it, I can't trust the Chinese level of foreigners."

"I am HSK Level [-]!"

"Oh, you all learn it for the exam. The Chinese for the exam is different from the actual Chinese. Let me test you, listen, 'I'm a little mean here and you mean it, you know what I mean', what do you mean? ?”

"Sounds like A gave B a gift in an attempt to bribe him?"

Wang Pingan was speechless: "Okay, then I will ask you again, 'Are you sick', how should I answer?"

Angeli stopped operating the keyboard and turned her head with a smile: "You are a trap. If I say it is a curse, you will say it is asking me if I am sick, and vice versa."

Wang Pingan: "Okay, if I'm swearing at someone, how should you respond?"

"Eh?" Angeli was stunned, "Why... scolding each other?"

"No, you should ask 'Do you have any medicine?' Then I reply 'How much do you take', 'I take as much as you have', 'How much do I have as much as you take'... followed by an infinite loop."

Angeli shook her head: "You're crazy!"

"Do you have any medicine?" Wang Ping installed as an excuse.

"Don't make trouble!" Angeli shouted, "What do you write later? Say it!"

Wang Ping'an immediately became serious: "Suggestions for improvement are as follows..."

He described in detail the problems he felt when operating the iron bucket, and Angeli organized all the things he thought of and said into a clear summary of lessons.

When the cooperation between the two was getting better, the intercom phone on the wall rang.

Angeli picked it up: "Second Lieutenant Angeli, please tell me."

"Tell the scourge that something happened to Qin Qiong! Let him come quickly!"

Angeli was a little surprised: "Eh? What's going on?"

"There was a Gou Ri's operation error, and he was about to be hit. Qin Qiong pushed Gou Ri's body away, and he was hit. Let the disaster come soon! Maybe we won't be able to see each other for the last time!"

When these words were spoken in the microphone, Wang Pingan got up and pressed the hands-free button.

Before the other party finished speaking, Wang Pingan rushed out the door.

**
Wang Ping'an had already rushed to the infirmary as quickly as possible, but the person had already pushed in, and the lights during the operation were turned on.

Almost all the astronauts from the same training team who had no missions arrived, floating in the aisle outside the medical room, with serious expressions on their faces.

Wang Pingan: "How is the situation?"

"It's bad." The answer was Qin Qiong's partner, nicknamed Guan Gong, and together they were Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong. He subconsciously dodged for a while, but ended up in a not-so-good position."

"Guan Gong" took a deep breath: "Fortunately, the space suit immediately released the biological glue, and there was no massive blood loss, but... I don't know, anyway, he was unconscious, and his heartbeat stopped. I used the override control to fly back, but ..."

Wang Pingan: "Who is that shitty one?"

Guan Gong: "I beat the one with the missing teeth, damn it, damn it."

Wang Ping'an turned to look for the one with missing teeth, and Angeli immediately came over to pull him, fearing that he would go up and fill it up again.

The beaten lieutenant shrank his neck and looked like a frightened sparrow.

Wang Pingan: "That guy..."

He seemed to have suddenly suffered from aphasia, and he remained silent for a long time before speaking again: "That guy always thinks I'm an asshole. We've never gotten along well. He has always hated my style, and I also think he's a prudish one." , official fans.

"But that didn't stop him from being my best rival, and we competed against each other all through flight academy. We didn't want 'that jerk' to come first, and we fought each other all through college.

"Without him hanging around like a bastard and getting in the way, the world would be pretty dull. You know what I mean?"

A lieutenant next to him said, "Anyway, be careful, Guan Gong will punch you at most, it's a disaster... the devil knows what he will do."

The person who was the target of criticism was so frightened that he shook his head: "I... I didn't do it on purpose... I just..."

"You just made a mistake, yes, as a second lieutenant, it's understandable."

Wang Pingan interrupted the other party.

"So you should die. I don't know how many second lieutenants die like this every year."

Wang Ping'an suddenly paused, Angeli thought, he might have recalled Xiao Fang, after all, he only recalled about her today.

But Wang Pingan continued: "We are the consumables of the Space Force. If you make a mistake, you deserve to die. My principle is that everyone should be responsible for their mistakes.

"I'm the one who slipped through the cracks, the one who didn't take responsibility, someone took my life on credit, and I'm ready to die generously anytime.

"Do you understand what I mean? If he is gone, he will die for you. You'd better be like me, be prepared to die at any time, and use this life on credit to save others. This is an obligation. understand?

"Don't give the fuck 'XXX wouldn't want you to live like this' bullshit, don't live to the end full of kids and grandchildren and come to someone's grave and say 'I'm fine now, look at me now, you You shouldn't regret saving me', it's all bullshit!"

"Wang Pingan!" Accompanied by the majestic roar, the brigade instructor flew over, "Put away your fallacies! Do you want to get a comment of 'extreme thinking' in the evaluation? We are the Space Force, and we are always ready to fight for our comrades-in-arms. , to give your life for the lives and property of the people. This is our honor and our obligation! You are not qualified as a soldier! Write me a review tonight! Anyway, you have to rest and confine me to confinement!"
