Chapter 436 - There are no losers

Such a huge project can significantly promote industrial improvement. Therefore, countries' enthusiasm for space technology has almost reached a fever pitch, even as high as military competition. Even North Korea, despite its poor economy, has to tighten its belt. We must also launch a space development program. ~~

If it cannot increase costs and obtain necessary benefits, which country would dare to waste money like this.

In the absence of war, the arms race is a waste of national power, but the aerospace industry is actually improving the country's science and technology, industry and people's livelihood foundation.

Every astronaut consumes huge resources every minute and second in space, not only food, water, electricity and fuel, but also oxygen.

There is no supply in outer space, and every point consumed equals one less point. Therefore, once the space environment stabilizes, the astronauts begin to get busy. Just like real astronauts, each candidate’s daily mission is numbered 11. The printed A4 papers are at least 2 meters long when put together. Although their work is virtual, it is no different from the real thing.

Although the simulation tests during these four days included takeoff, landing and space experiment tasks, they actually faced an assessment they didn't know about, "Robinson's Island."

Almost everyone is not idle and has to wear many hats. Space launches are costly and full of risks. It is impossible for the country to send real scientific research experts into space, let alone a scientific research team. Not every scholar has the physical and mental qualities to meet aerospace standards.

Therefore, after entering outer space, many important tasks fall on each astronaut, distributed in different positions.

In outer space, there is no air and sound cannot travel. It is extremely quiet around the spacecraft. The astronauts can only hear the monotonous noise of the electronic equipment in the space capsule. Almost everyone will feel an inexplicable feeling of loneliness in their hearts.

Learn to survive alone and be able to control yourself. If you are not afraid of loneliness and can adapt to long-term work alone, the effectiveness of psychological quality training will be highlighted at this time.

In addition to being physically affected by the weightless environment in space, you will also encounter various unexpected emergencies psychologically.

In addition to the necessary qualification of calmness, each person's character must be compatible. Arguing in space is fatal, and the danger of losing one's mind is no less than suicide.

A madman appears in the space capsule, and there is an endless vacuum outside. It’s scary to think about.

Even Wang Xuejun, who has always been dissatisfied with Lin Mo, must learn to listen to Lin Mo's instructions like a grandson and dare not go west when asked to go east.

Who makes No. 1 the captain? When flying, the captain is the boss. Anyone who disobeys will be thrown directly into outer space to become a mummy.

certainly. This is just a joke, but on any ship or aircraft, the authority of the captain and captain is absolutely unquestionable.

Maybe when the training center sent Wang Xuejun to Lin Mo, they were considering whether this young man really had a talent that could be developed. If he still had a temper that refused to accept anyone, I'm afraid the final test would be difficult.

I believe Wang Xuejun himself knows this well. He is a little arrogant, but he is not stupid. As for Lin Mo's instructions being carried out completely, he didn't dare to violate it even a little bit. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only suppress it in his heart and didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on the surface.

Life in a simulated space capsule that is close to reality is completely different from that on the ground. First of all, there are no crumbs in the food. Snacks such as soda crackers are weapons of mass destruction here. Think about a little bit of fine crumbs drifting into your eyes in the weightless environment of space. What a disaster lies in the gap between the inside and the electronic equipment.

Although there are also highly concentrated energy bangs that Lin Mo gnaws on as snacks. But regular meat and vegetable dishes and rice are available. Chocolate and curry are essential, and the shapes are mainly semi-solidified and solid. A few mouthfuls is a small portion, which avoids accidents when eating and food contaminating the equipment, and also ensures that there is no waste.

Water is collected from the air and excreted by the human body for circulation. Although there are multiple processes such as purification, filtration and re-condensation, it will still inevitably bring a special smell.

Especially after taking a bath, the smell of everyone's body has changed inexplicably. It's weird, not to mention a fragrance or a bad smell.

At the end of the fourth day, after completing the one-hour return flight, everyone could clearly feel the intense heat in the simulation cabin that was comparable to that in the Taklimakan Desert. They understood that the space shuttle was in the flames of the ionosphere. Flying is being reborn from the ashes.

The temperature of the ionized layer is as high as 1200 degrees, and many metals cannot withstand it. Even without the high temperature of air friction, steel will still melt. Real gold that is not afraid of fire can only have a melting point of 1064 degrees, and it will immediately become deformed in the ionized layer. Like water, it turns into countless sparks and disappears.

Not to mention the aircraft in the atmosphere that are made of aluminum alloy. The melting point of aluminum is only 660 degrees. It cannot be lifted with a booster rocket. I am afraid that it will start to vaporize as a whole even if it goes deep into the ionosphere. It will not be a complete body. It is certain.

The ionosphere, known as the Earth's protective shield, does not come for nothing. The escape layer on the outside is a defensive shield responsible for defending against cosmic energy attacks such as cosmic rays and solar storms.

An energy defense layer and a physical defense cover sound so fantastical. If not, how could life be born on earth by such a coincidence.

Life is a miracle.

After the rather tired first group walked out of the simulated space capsule that had been closed for four days, they were immediately carried away on stretchers by the staff of the aerospace training center.

Not only astronaut candidates are training, but other related staff are also participating in corresponding training work.

The training cycle for astronauts is long. Not only astronauts, but also staff in other departments and positions are also constantly honing their skills.

After a day of repairs on the simulated space shuttle, the second group entered again.

The final round of screening has lasted for two full weeks.

It is already the seventh week since these fourteen candidates arrived at the Fifth Space Training Center. Through various difficult trainings, they have formed a relatively deep understanding and understanding of each other.

After receiving the notice that the elimination list would be announced the next day, everyone realized that this was the last night left to spend together.

That night, fourteen candidates went to the cafeteria and ordered meals. The nutritionist rarely turned a blind eye and allowed each of the fourteen candidates to order the same dish.

It's just a peaceful dinner full of friendship, it's that simple.

No wine, just plain water;

There are no grand words, just simple advice;

There are no losers and no winners;

I don’t care who leaves and who stays tomorrow, and I don’t care what the bird list is tomorrow.

Today, everyone tried their best and had no regrets.

Everyone wishes blessings to those who stay, and wishes everyone a safe journey to those who have left. No one will miss every bit of their sincere wishes.

The gathering place for the second meeting was a reception room in the administrative building of the training center. Everyone was given a soft sofa and buried themselves in the sofa in the most comfortable manner.

It was like a tea party, with a long table surrounding the sofa filled with all kinds of cakes, desserts, snacks and dried fruits.

No. 11 looked thoughtfully at the snacks in front of him. The training center would not casually take out these foods that should be taboo for astronauts. Maybe it will not happen next time. Maybe some of them will no longer need to be subject to dietary restrictions. The answer is obvious. Those who are eliminated do not have to follow the harsh diet management of astronauts.

As a medical expert, No. 11 understands the role of these snacks very well. Sugar can soothe nerves, relax tension and eliminate bad emotions. During the economic crisis in the United States, all industries were depressed, but only dessert shops were doing booming business. There was no other reason. In all kinds of depression, In the depressed mood, people can seek happiness and comfort from sweets and pastries.

Well, maybe the aerospace training center carefully considered the momentary loss and shock in the hearts of those who were eliminated, and specially prepared some meaningful snacks.

"Come on, eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, just treat it like a tea party. Everyone has worked hard these past two months, so don't feel any mental burden. Hehe, come on, try our canteen's pastry chef Ma Lu. The dim sum made by Master Yun, our Master Ma’s level is no worse than that of the pastry chef at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Whether it is domestic or foreign pastries, this level is absolutely first-rate.”

Major General Sun Huabin's opening remarks indeed confirmed No. 11's guess. He didn't mention the list at first, but instead advised everyone to try some snacks.

Then I heard Major General Sun say: "Everyone had to train before, and the food was restricted, which also hurt everyone's stomach. This time it's just right. After the training, the nutritionist can be free again, and Master Ma can finally show off his talents. , please don’t betray his good intentions and let the judges judge. If it doesn’t suit your taste and your skills have deteriorated, I will deduct his bonus later.”

Major General Sun's words were humorous and successfully triggered a burst of gentle laughter from Lin Mo and others.

This was also to dispel the nervousness and psychological shadow of the candidates. The nominations for the gold list were just short of being revealed at the end. He didn't dare to think that after these candidates went all out, there would be a huge psychological gap and leave any negative impact.

Although as an astronaut, psychological quality is the minimum requirement, not to mention that most of them are pilots with excellent psychological quality. The possibility of such an accident is almost impossible, but "almost" and "almost" do not exist in the dictionary of the aerospace industry. Words such as "maybe", "maybe", "I think", etc. This rigorous work style is brought into every bit of selection and training, ensuring that the quality of each generation of astronauts is the best.
