Chapter 362 The flowers in the neutral buoyancy pool
In class, William told the members: "Starting from the desert walk, although it is still in the selection stage, the following items are already considered regular training items. That is to say, if you can't persist now, you will have to repeat the experience in the future. Sooner or later they will be eliminated."

In fact, before Zhao Yanling got involved, these people had gone through several rounds of elimination.To enter the space agency, you need to have flight driving experience, vehicle posture experience and scuba qualification.

When the day's theory class is over, I went to the crater the next day and drove the stroller.

This training program started after the establishment of the US moon landing program, because there are craters everywhere on the moon, large and small craters are worth a dime, and you can’t get used to it.

In addition to the crater, there is also a deep crater where a meteorite hit northern Arizona about 5 years ago, with a depth of more than 170 meters and a width of 1.25 kilometers.

The stroller looks like an all-terrain vehicle with a low chassis. The valley wheel is small but thick, with a simple structure and an antenna erected in front.

These walking cars are all simulators, and they are rebuilt from some old antiques. After all, the funds are limited, and it is impossible to spend all the money on these things.

William said: "See these indentations on the edge of the crater? You need to drive along these indentations now, be careful not to slip, or you will be eliminated directly."

"These old antique strollers are still driving."

"It's kind of like a bumper car. I want to play it too. It's fun."

"Unexpectedly, astronauts are selected in this way."

Instead of driving around the indentation all the time, they have to take off the measuring tools on the car and measure at fixed points.

In fact, with the detector, these tasks no longer need human beings.What humans need to do is construction, such as building a base on Mars.

In the afternoon, I went to the crater to assist the simulated probe to collect soil samples, and moved forward among the many artificially bombed craters. A group of members in bloated clothes were struggling to crawl on the ground.

Zhao Yanling explained to the water friends: "If it is on the moon, walking is much easier than on the earth. Because of gravity, this heavy spacesuit is not heavy. If we can take off the spacesuit, we can walk on the moon. Running and jumping, it feels good just thinking about it, haha."

After alternating several days of hiking in the desert and collecting samples in a simulated volcanic lake terrain, only 40 of the 20 remained.

Next up is the Johnson Space Center in Hurston, Texas.

Here, you can apply for visiting training.

The lab's swimming pool is 12 meters long, 61 meters long, and 31 meters wide, larger than an Olympic swimming pool.

At this time, Zhao Yanling was wearing a real white spacesuit, and her already burly figure was enlarged. Without a helmet, her head looked very small.

Here, a group of journalists from all over the world came to interview.

Chinese Penguin reporter Li Ziyu also came.

"Old Zhao, long time no see."

Li Ziyu leaned forward without seeing anyone else.

"Why are you traveling across the ocean to interview me?" Zhao Yanling joked. "Could it be that you deliberately wanted to go abroad for a while? When I walk on the street, no one can recognize me. The interview is not worth the loss. I heard that Xiaoyu and the others are training in Los Angeles. There is a female singer who rents a villa for 1 yuan a day. What a beauty, you should be interviewing them."

"Who told us to be close?" Li Ziyu asked shamelessly. "The news about you has increased recently, and no one can see you in person. I called Fatty, and he told me your itinerary, and I chased after him."

The American reporter next to him complained that Li Ziyu took up too much time and couldn't interview Zhao Yanling after the training started soon.

Instead of reminiscing about the past, Li Ziyu handed over the microphone: "Lao Zhao, first tell me where have you been for the past two years?"

"I haven't gone anywhere, I've been on Earth." Zhao Yanling was vague. "Busy with kids, busy with work."

"Before, someone broke the news that your bodyguard beat someone. Is this true?"

To Li Ziyu's surprise, Zhao Yanling directly affirmed: "Yes, that's right. He wanted to use my well, but I refused directly, and ended up running to my house yelling and scaring the child. He should be glad that he was born in China. He will be miserable abroad."

After all, the two parties were old friends, and Li Ziyu gave him winks.

The interview is not his business alone, and a good interview video does not mean that it can be deleted just because it is deleted.

Seeing that Zhao Yanling didn't care, he continued to ask: "Someone criticized your actions and said that your actions are inappropriate, what do you think about this?"

"First, I don't care about other people's opinions. As long as my precious daughter's physical and mental safety and health are threatened, the end will only be minor misery or heavy misery, depending on the level of threat. Second, I am not a star, I don't need to rely on words and deeds To maintain my image, an explorer can't be smart every day, this is my true face. Popularity? Popularity? I don't need that stuff. After two more training programs, I believe the eyes of the whole world will be watching On me. You will understand when the time comes."

The other reporters were getting impatient, and Li Ziyu asked the last topic that domestic fans were interested in: "Old Zhao, some time ago, a video was popular on the Internet about a group of people going to Thailand to rescue a Chinese-American girl. I think Ask, does this matter have anything to do with you? I also watched the video, and there is an African-American girl on it, who is very recognizable and very similar to the one who is often by your side."

Zhao Yanling smiled: "Old Li, it is impossible to talk nonsense. People also have laws and police agencies, and they have their own evidence to explain everything. However, you must be cautious when traveling and pay attention to safety when traveling. This is my advice to the public in China."

He didn't directly deny it, nor did he admit it.

But Li Ziyu had already guessed that it was Old Zhao!

He felt that the old Zhao now was very different from two years ago.It seems that apart from his family, Lao Zhao has little scruples about other things, a bit unscrupulous.What's even better is that he is so "willful", but no one cares about him. How can there be any reason for this?

The American reporter squeezed Li Ziyu away and asked Zhao Yanling, "Zhao, can you tell me how you got into NASA's selection by virtue of your Chinese nationality? Why didn't you join your country's space agency?"

"It will take some time before you know about it. I have no right to tell you now."

The reporter was a little dazed. This was the question they wanted to know the most, but Zhao Yanling avoided it: "Then, Zhao, I heard that you have always kept the first record in the selection test. Is this true?"

"Of course, those are things I'm good at."

The American reporter asked: "Chinese people are modest, Zhao, I can't see the temperament of humility in you."

"If you think too much, the Chinese are very proud, but they are not arrogant. It is easy for me to keep the first record in these tests, because I am an explorer. Since it can be done easily, do I have to say Is it humility to be lucky?"

Li Ziyu secretly admired it.

There was a bit of arrogance in the tone of the white reporter.

why?
Zhao Yanling is Asian and of yellow race.But he has always been at the top of a group of already outstanding elites.

This made the white reporter a little dissatisfied, what can he do?
But Zhao Yanling is not easy to provoke, he even slaps and beats him, and every sentence he says is very flat, but every sentence is full of sarcasm, but you can't make sense of it.

At the same time, Zhao Yanling spoke very domineeringly.Staying number one is easy to do!
The interview was quickly interrupted by William, who clapped his hands: "Okay, now it's time for training, all reporters, please take a step back, you can shoot, but don't interfere with normal training."

The remaining members should now be called students.Because in addition to the candidate list of astronauts, the rest also have the opportunity to work in the space agency. Among them, Zhang Shangbin was successfully selected, but it is estimated that he has no hope of being selected as an astronaut.

Accompanied by two safety divers, each student was shown all angles of the pool.

In the pool, there are replicas and full-scale replicas of the Soyuz spacecraft and the International Space Station.

Zhao Yanling and the others need training that is infinitely closer to the real state.

This kind of neutral buoyancy experimental pool is owned by China, Japan, Russia and the European Space Agency in addition to the United States.

Zhao Yanling was put on a helmet, and a huge glass cover was buckled on the front door, which was completely closed inside.

There is a shelf in the swimming pool, which is square and square, with a neatly dressed student on each of the four sides.

A thing like a safety belt tied them to the frame, and then slowly sank into the water.

William explained to the reporter: "The water temperature in the neutral buoyancy pool is kept between 27 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is recycled every day. Here, students can experience and get used to the weightlessness that can only be had in space. These students have obtained water Lung qualification certificate, with snorkeling experience. After they go into the water, each person is accompanied by two divers. I can tell you very responsibly, a capable, qualified, and aspiring space traveler must know the swimming pool very well, He is very good at swimming. As for Bruce Zhao, as he said, he must be outstanding in anything related to exploration, which is very simple for him.”

Even the coach of the space agency said so, it seems that Zhao Yanling's report card is really excellent.

The first exercise is to walk underwater. Don't think it's easy. Most people are confused when they get to the bottom and loosen their seat belts.

I saw that the underwater was staggering, and I needed the assistance of the divers next to me to barely stand upright.

There was a male student, because his body was too far, he pushed the divers down...

Among such a group of people, there is one person who stands out from the crowd and can walk freely underwater!

This person is Zhao Yanling!
Not only did he walk freely, but he even bent his legs slightly, and when he jumped underwater, he "flyed".He raised his hand and pushed back the iron frame above, and stood firmly on the bottom of the pool.

Spacewalking is not only about being down-to-earth, but also keeping a forward leaning state and slowly "floating" towards the destination.

Each student has a handle in front and a handle behind him.Everyone needs to touch the handle back and forth to adapt to the movement in weightlessness.

Others can't even keep their figure. A group of reporters discovered that Bruwensi Zhao was doing all kinds of tricks underwater...
