Chapter 306

It has been four days since the sudden chaos happened. Because the situation is too strange and complicated, involving five astronaut candidates, four of them were out, three of them died. For a time, the staff of the investigation team were a little stretched. NASA originally wanted to put things down for a while, and then consider how to deal with the next step after the investigation results came out.

But I didn't expect that just the next day, everything was exposed by the media, and things became more and more evil. Some people even called this series of accidents The Curse of landing on the moon, because what NASA is doing now has angered God, so it will lead to disaster.

In recent days, some people spontaneously marched to the Kennedy Space Center and outside Congress to protest.

NASA had to hold an emergency press conference to explain the situation. The remaining three astronaut candidates also attended the press conference and received 45 minutes of bombarding questions. Those reporters were eager to ask about the colors of the three men's pants, including some guided questions containing traps.

However, the three are obviously prepared for such a situation, and basically all the answers are watertight.

As soon as 45 minutes arrived, the staff of the public affairs office immediately took them to the back lounge.

When everyone left, the door closed and the noise was cut off at the other end. There were only three people left in the room. Bruno immediately went to pour two glasses of water, took the cup and said to Zhang Heng and Jalai, "brother, drink water."

Fat man and gas of smile, "like me this kind of fat house, really like to drink coke."

"I'll buy it for you right away!" Bruno immediately patted his chest.

"Don't be so troublesome. The moon landing will start soon. It's better to keep a low profile at this time." The fat man hesitated and said with concern, "are you still eating LSD recently? At that time, you will have to fly the lunar module. Is that ok?"

"No problem, no problem. I haven't touched that thing for a long time. Now I'm more energetic than ever." Bruno road.

Jalai's last so-called opportunities and choices do not exist at all. He has already made a choice, leaving Bruno and killing Zhen zhe It's not because Zhen zhe once cheated him, but because Zhen Zhe is more difficult to control and deal with than Bruno, so Jalai also offered his highest respect, that is, to kill each other ahead of time.

Bruno, who was less threatening, was left behind to form the final lunar landing team.

Now there are less than ten days left from the launch of Apollo 11. Considering that there is still a week of isolation before the launch, that is to say, they still have more than two days of free activity, and only the final field survival training is left in training.

This is to ensure that when the spacecraft lands in some extreme environment when it returns to earth, the astronauts can survive there until the rescue arrives. During the Gemini program, astronauts were required to conduct five-day special survival and life-saving training in tropical, desert and aquatic environments. NASA even led the crew to Iceland and Amazon rainforest for secret training.

However, due to the lack of time, the outdoor survival training course was cut down a lot. The water survival training was completed in the swimming pool, and the tropical training was directly cut off. The desert training was retained, but it was also put at the end, in case other training was not completed, and the whole training process only took two days.

But compared with the previous training, this time the three have no pressure on the results.

Because no matter what the outcome, the final list has been determined.

So in the eyes of Jalai and Bruno, it was no different from a trip, but just then the door of the lounge was opened again. This time, besides the captain, there was another figure.

When they saw that figure, Jalai and Bruno didn't care too much. They thought they were just the staff in charge of the field survival training together. However, a look of surprise appeared on Zhang Heng's face.

The captain didn't mean to introduce the two sides. He just opened the door as usual. "You have received 45 days of training and basically mastered all kinds of skills that astronauts need. In this process, you have experienced all kinds of things, but fortunately, you have persisted in the end. I'm proud of your efforts and performance, and next you will be happy There's a chance to be part of history. "

Jalai and Bruno look at each other and see a touch of joy from each other's eyes. Although they know in advance that they are the final winner in this round of the game and can successfully land on Apollo 11 and set foot on the moon, when this day comes, they still can't hide their joy. Especially considering what happened before, Jalai starts from the last day Now that the dust is settled, there is no need for him to disguise and cover up his inner thoughts.

Among the three, only Zhang Heng's face was still calm. Looking at the silent man beside the captain, he seemed to recall some of his memories.

Then, Jalai and Bruno listened to the captain continue, "this afternoon we will start the last training, I hope you can take it seriously, because this time's results will be used as an important reference to determine the final candidate together with your previous results.""Wait, the final choice What does that mean? " Jalai frowned.

"We are the final choice, aren't we? We need three astronauts to carry out Apollo 11, and now we are three." Bruno also opened his eyes, "you said, because of a new infectious disease, you have lost a large number of astronauts, and the Apollo 10 astronauts have not recovered from the last mission because of unknown reasons, so you are left with us now, aren't you?"

The captain's face remained unchanged. "Yes, yes, because of the mysterious infectious disease, we did lose a large number of astronauts, to be exact, almost all of them, but some of them survived," he said, taking a look at the man who had been silent all the time. "Neil Alden Armstrong, the former commander of the Apollo 10 program, was on the spot He has passed the observation period a week ago and is in good condition for recovery training. It is confirmed that he can continue to carry out the Apollo 11 program. "

"Wait..." Bruno looked frightened. "So there are only two places left for us now?"

"To be exact, it's a quota. We're very lucky, Michael Collins, and the service class pilot has recovered well." The captain said, "but don't worry. Those who are not selected can also stay in the ground control center and serve as the support team. They can also participate in this great voyage."
