When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Time passed by minute by minute.

Everyone present focused their attention on Wang Donglai, and the electric seat began to swing more frequently.

Soon, it was fifteen minutes.

Wang Donglai, who was sitting in the electric chair, looked a little pale and his breathing became rapid.

Song Lin also saw this scene and immediately pressed the pause button without hesitation.

I was afraid that if I moved too slowly, there would be serious consequences.

When the electric seat slowly stopped, Wang Donglai let out a long breath and suppressed the urge to vomit.

Although, Wang Donglai's physical condition had already improved to a level far beyond that of ordinary people.

But some things, after all, have not received professional training. Just relying on talent to last for fifteen minutes is already amazing.

Wang Donglai estimated that if he gritted his teeth, he could hold on for another two or three minutes.

However, after two or three minutes, you may not be able to suppress the acid in your stomach and vomit it out.

In order to avoid such embarrassment, and since he had already tested the scope of his own abilities, there was naturally no need to continue insisting.

Although these thoughts flashed through his mind, they did not affect Wang Donglai's actions at all.

"Director, I think Academician Wang should be able to hold on for another two minutes."

"Two minutes minimum!"

Su Jie looked at Wang Donglai, whose face was only slightly pale and there was nothing unusual about him. His eyes became extremely bright and he spoke to Song Lin who was standing beside him.

There was a hint of joy and a hint of regret in his tone.

Since Song Lin was able to sit in the position of director, he was naturally a shrewd person and understood the hidden meaning of Su Jie's words.

He glanced at Su Jie unhappily and said, "You also know that he is an academician, not a pilot. If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility? Fifteen minutes is enough. Any more is useless!"

When Su Jie heard this, he sighed with a hint of regret and stopped talking.

After criticizing Su Jie, Song Lin quickly walked up to Wang Donglai and said with concern: "Academician Wang, how do you feel? Do you want to take a rest?"

As he spoke, Song Lin stretched out his hand to support Wang Donglai.

However, Wang Donglai smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

"Director Song, I have to say that after experiencing it once, I realized how strict the selection criteria for astronauts are and how great our country's astronauts are."

When Wang Dong said this, he was speaking the truth from his heart.

His physical fitness had already been increased to 11 points, but he could only last about 15 minutes. Although after training, this result could be improved a little bit.

However, these astronauts selected by the country have no system to add points. They are able to withstand such training intensity entirely by relying on their strong willpower, which has been honed through years of training.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Wang Donglai's words, everyone present felt speechless.

If Wang Donglai had not passed the test and had just persisted for one or two minutes, everyone might still think that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But it was a bit strange that Wang Donglai had stayed in the electric chair for fifteen minutes and then said this.

However, Song Lin's reaction was still quick.

With a sincere smile on his face, he said, "Academician Wang, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. There are many people who can hold on to an electric chair for fifteen minutes on their first try, but they are either air force pilots or professionals who have been specially trained for several years. I've never seen someone like Academician Wang do it for the first time."

"In fact, I kind of regret that I shouldn't have pressed the pause button in advance. Otherwise, I think Academician Wang might have been able to hold on for a while longer, and maybe even break our training record here."

Wang Donglai had a smile on his face and did not take Song Lin's words seriously.

Wang Donglai was very clear about the principle that a fancy sedan is carried by people.

After Wang Donglai finished the test, the pilots and others who participated in the assessment left and moved on to the next project.

Originally, Song Lin thought that after Wang Donglai had experienced the electric chair, he would have some reaction and would not watch it again.

But unexpectedly, Wang Donglai did not do so. Instead, he followed with great interest.

Seeing this, Song Lin naturally couldn't let Wang Donglai leave.

"Director Song, I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. Can you add me to the next project so I can experience all of them?"

"After all, this is an astronaut selection test. No matter what the result is, being able to participate once is definitely an unforgettable experience."

Wang Donglai walked beside Song Lin with a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he spoke in a very serious tone.

However, this time, faced with Wang Donglai's request, Song Lin chose to refuse without any hesitation.

"no!"

"Academician Wang, it's not that I'm unkind. It's just that there are many astronaut selection and assessment items, and they are all relatively dangerous. According to regulations, only professionals who have undergone professional training can take the assessment. Ordinary people can only experience the safer items at most."

"Centrifuge training, overweight endurance training, underwater simulation training, all these trainings require professional skills. It is undoubtedly irresponsible to rashly let people go up for testing without relevant training."

"What's more, Academician Wang, you have already experienced the electric seat project once, so you must know the difficulty of the astronaut selection assessment. You can just watch the subsequent assessments. If you really go up to test it, I can't bear the responsibility!"

Song Lin had said this, and Wang Donglai had no choice but to give up his idea.

After all, what Song Lin said was right. From his perspective, there is no problem in letting yourself experience it.

But for some of the more dangerous projects, I have not received any special training, so they do seem a bit dangerous.

In addition to his status as an academician, if anything happens here, Song Lin, as a leader, must take responsibility.

So, after hearing Song Lin’s refusal, Wang Donglai did not choose to insist.

He nodded and said with a smile, "I know Director Song is worried. I won't make it difficult for you. I'll take a look at the subsequent assessments and learn from them."

Song Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little worried that Wang Donglai was young and hot-headed, and would get angry and embarrassed after being rejected by him.

After all, it's normal for someone to have a bad temper when he has achieved such success at such a young age.

Fortunately, none of these happened, and Song Lin even felt a little bit of favor towards Wang Donglai.

Soon, the afternoon passed quickly.

Wang Donglai took a general look at the various training equipment in the training center.

It really opened Wang Donglai's eyes. There were many things he had never heard of on the Internet, let alone seeing them with his own eyes.

After the assessment training was over, Wang Donglai did not stay in the training center but left directly.

Seeing Wang Donglai leave, Su Jie said with some regret: "What a pity! If Academician Wang was not an academician, he would definitely be a qualified astronaut with his performance!" Song Lin also said with a smile: "Yes, Academician Wang's physical fitness is indeed impeccable, but whether he can become an astronaut is not certain."

"Compared to the identity of an astronaut, I still think the identity of an academician may be more important. He is a great man who has proved many difficult mathematical problems in the world. Otherwise, he would not be directly elected as an academician at this age."

"I won't say too much. Just look at the average age of the selected academicians and you will know."

Hearing Song Lin say this, Su Jie thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, he has proved difficult mathematical problems and developed semi-solid batteries. I heard he also developed a new material for rocket engines. He is definitely an academic and scientific research genius. It is really a bit of a waste of talent for him to be an astronaut."

"What's more, he is the founder of Galaxy Technology and a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions. Once his company goes public, his wealth will probably increase even more."

When he said the latter part, there was a hint of barely visible envy in Su Jie's tone.

Song Lin could naturally hear it, so he smiled and said, "This might be the world of geniuses. Things that are difficult for us may not be the same for geniuses."

Su Jie nodded and said, "Yes, Director, I understand."

"Okay, make a report on today's assessment. By the way, keep Academician Wang's assessment results separately." Song Lin instructed Su Jie.

"Yeah!" Su Jie nodded in agreement.

……

Wang Donglai left the training center and did not go anywhere else, but went to meet someone.

Yang Anchao.

Although there is a big age difference between the two, for academic researchers, technology and ability are more important.

So, the relationship between the two is pretty good.

Especially after Wang Donglai established a private space rocket launch company, many questions related to space rockets were often asked to Yang Anchao.

As time went by, the relationship between the two naturally became more familiar.

"I didn't realize you're actually a good candidate for an astronaut!"

As soon as they met, Yang Anchao said this to Wang Donglai.

It was obvious that Wang Donglai's performance in the training center had reached Yang Anchao's ears.

Wang Donglai was not surprised by this.

He nodded and said, "Chief Engineer Yang, I didn't expect that I could hold on for so long. It seems that my regular exercise is beneficial."

Wang Donglai said jokingly with a smile.

"I told you you were fat, but you were still panting. Xiao Song is really brave. He just let you experience it for once, but he actually made you last for fifteen minutes."

"Even if nothing happened to you, if you had gotten off the seat and vomited, I think Xiao Song would have been scolded."

Hearing what Yang Anchao said, Wang Donglai smiled and said quickly, "Chief Engineer Yang, this is what Director Song and I asked. We discussed it before we went up. If I feel uncomfortable, I will make a gesture to stop. That's why Director Song asked me to take the test."

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with this."

"Chief Engineer Yang, I said before that I wanted to go to space and be an astronaut. This is serious. Testing it in advance can be regarded as fulfilling my wish."

"It's just a pity that I didn't have a complete experience test today!"

There was a hint of regret in Wang Donglai's tone. In front of Yang Anchao, he did not hide himself too much.

"you……"

Yang Anchao pointed at Wang Donglai and said with some regret: "Why don't you study mathematics and applied physics? Astronauts look cool, but in fact they are not as good as advertised. They can be described as boring."

"Training, training, all kinds of training. There is not much time to stop throughout the year."

"To put it bluntly, the role of astronauts is far less significant than the impact of a top scholar. The several difficult mathematical problems you have proved have greatly enhanced our country's mathematical discourse power in the international arena."

"Not to mention the semi-solid-state battery you developed, which is of great significance to the new energy vehicles that our country is developing."

"In my opinion, since you are interested in space rockets, then listen to me and come to work at the Aerospace Corporation. I will do the work at Tangdu Jiaotong University."

"As long as you come, you can choose from any of the research institutes and project teams under the Aerospace Group."

In the end, Yang Anchao finally revealed his true colors.

Top scholars like Wang Donglai, who are proficient in mathematical theory and practical applications, are of great value.

Many scientific research problems may not be solved using the original thinking, but if you switch to mathematical thinking, it will be different.

A top mathematician is like a top booster that can carry most scientific research projects forward.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Donglai coughed twice and did not answer Yang Anchao's question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Chief Engineer Yang, the reason why I want to be an astronaut is not because astronauts sound cool. I just want to go to space and take a look. The future of mankind lies in the universe and the stars. This is certain."

"The research we have done in the environment of the Earth is based on the results of the Earth's environment. Now that technology is almost stagnant and the development of various basic fields is not satisfactory, could it be that we are restricted by the environment?"

"For example, materials and biomedicine are still areas that humans cannot fully explain."

“The unique environment of space may bring some unexpected gains!”

Wang Dong said it very seriously, but Yang Anchao didn't take it seriously.

"The things you mentioned have been tried before. Space is indeed a little different, but judging from the results of various experiments so far, there hasn't been much change."

"If you are interested, I can show you some information on this, or you can find it through regular channels. You don't even have to go to space yourself, let alone set up a private space rocket company."

"Your cost-effectiveness is not high if you do this. You might as well develop solid-state batteries as soon as possible. If you can really develop them, you will be a well-deserved 'pillar of the country'. This is much more meaningful than space exploration."

In other words, he became familiar with Wang Donglai and admired Wang Donglai very much. Otherwise, Yang Anchao understood the principle of talking about deep things even though they were not very close, and would never have said such words.

Wang Donglai also understood this, so he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Yang, I'm still so young. I'll have time to do research in the future. Now I think it's more meaningful to do something that I'm interested in than to do it for honor."

“Maybe I will regret it in the future, but now when I think about the fact that I can do the career that I am interested in, I feel full of strength!”

Wang Dong spoke from the bottom of his heart. Yang Anchao's eyes moved and he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him.

He had also heard about some of Galaxy Technology's recent actions, including poaching people from many research institutes of the Aerospace Group. Although they were all mid-level technical personnel and did not involve sensitive positions, Galaxy Technology's move was too big.

At the first move, the salary and benefits were doubled, and the minimum was tripled.

In this way, the news reached Yang Anchao's ears. (End of this chapter)
