v2 Chapter 35： Have a drink

Life at the Lewis Flight Dynamics Laboratory was probably the simplest period of Zhang Heng's copy. The people in the laboratory were the purest and the only ones except Jim, the man and the chief of the blond beauty, who was executive and ran the budget every day to Congress. The enthusiastic researchers do not have much intrigue with each other, and there is no mainline mission or threat to survival in the transition script, so Zhang Heng's life is very simple.

Every day, I followed Wu Zhonghua to learn engineering knowledge. In addition, I used the salary of the intern to invite the airport pilot to the nearby bar and nightclub. Hey, Zhang Heng successfully boarded the plane in the second month, and in the fourth month, Smoothly touched the T-33, and experienced a subsonic flight as a passenger, so it is not far from flying the plane alone to the sky.

However, Wu Zhonghua filed a resignation request with NACA at this time, and announced that he prefers the living environment of the school. The next stop is going to be a professor at Brooklyn University of Technology in New York. This incident even shocked the chairman of NACA, Glenn. The post-laboratory crowd gave Wu Zhonghua a small farewell party.

Zhang Heng did not attend the farewell party, but drove the borrowed Chevrolet to the station when the Wu Zhonghuas left.

He is one of the few who guessed Wu Zhonghua's true intentions. Although Wu Zhonghua's stay in the laboratory is more beneficial to him, and strictly speaking, it is only a game, but no matter where he is, in what time and space, how many reincarnation , Still someone will make the same choice.

Therefore, Zhang Heng did not advise Wu Zhonghua to stay.

What's more, Wu Zhonghua has helped him a lot. Although he still can't compare with the same batch of genuine MIT graduates who graduated from the engineering department, after more than four months, he has developed engineering skills. I am also familiar with Wu Zhonghua's research part. Similar to collecting data and filling such a model into an existing model, there is no problem. Even if he changes his personally to take over Wu Zhonghua's work, he can continue to stay in the laboratory to find fish.

…………

Watching the train carrying Wu Zhonghua and his wife go, Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to return to the laboratory. I heard that the engineer who took over the work of Wu Zhonghua was selected by Langley Labs. The other party can only arrive tomorrow, so Zhang Heng and others The female assistant was fine, it was a holiday, Zhang Heng drove around in Cleveland in the borrowed car.

He bought two Patty Pages vinyl records, a burger and tacos, and unexpectedly lit up an achievement, got three points, and then he fed pigeons in the city park and rushed into the sunset He returned to the laboratory before, but as soon as he got out of the car, he was caught by the rushing blond beauty.

"Great, the laboratory has recruited a new test pilot. He has arrived and is sitting in the corridor on the first floor, but there is an emergency situation over the Congress side. I am going to rush with Mr. Jim, so I can only ask you to go first. Take him to the airport and the laboratory. "

She speaks very quickly, and at the same time speaks a large pile of documents in Zhang Heng's arms. "Also, these things can also help me to hand over to Dr. Maggie."

When she spoke, the black Jaguar XK120 in the distance kept honking.

The blonde sent Zhang Heng a kiss, "I'll ask you and coffee for the day after tomorrow. That's it." After waiting for Zhang Heng's answer, she pulled the skirt and ran on to the car on high heels.

In this way, Zhang Heng inexplicably became the receptionist of the laboratory, holding the pile of things and coming to the corridor, and sure enough, there was already a person sitting in a chair waiting.

He doesn't look very young, only in his early twenties, but unlike other young people of this age, he has an inherent quietness, like always thinking about something, meanwhile He also showed his temperament by raising his hands and feet.

Zhang Heng is not too surprised at the last point. Many test pilots recruited by the laboratory are from the military.

Seeing Zhang Heng coming, he behaved very politely and stood up from his position.

"Hello, I'm David, a lab intern. You're the new test pilot. Let me show you a place to work in the future."

"Thank you," the man said, and held out his hand, "Neil Alden Armstrong, a former naval pilot."

His voice was calm and firm.

Zhang Heng's hands shook with each other.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Armstrong." Zhang Hengdao.

"me too."

"If you don't mind, I'll send these documents to Dr. Maggie before we start our visit."

Armstrong nodded.

Zhang Heng did not expect to meet Armstrong, the first man to the moon in advance in 1955. Speaking of his life history, there is indeed a section of test pilot work in a laboratory under NACA ~ www.novelhall.com ~ this At that time, Mr. Astronaut looked exceptionally young. According to time calculation, he should be only 25 years old. After returning from the naval service, he returned to campus to complete his university education, but he has not obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering. .

In later generations, he has always behaved very low-key after successfully landing on the moon. He taught in college, lived a life of seclusion, hardly received interviews with the media, and never wrote an autobiography. Many people did not know that Armstrong did not take a picture of himself on the moon In the photo, the widely circulated moonshot was actually taken by his teammate Buzz Aldrin, and we can barely see Armstrong's shadow in the reflection of his helmet, and the famous one The footprints of the moon also came from Buzz Aldrin.

Unlike his teammates who are very showy, Armstrong is a very humble and low-key person, especially his young experience, probably only those who have contacted him know.

However, Zhang Heng is more interested in Armstrong ’s aircraft driving technology. It is said that he got the pilot ’s license when he was 16 years old. Before he got his driver ’s license, he had driven more than 200 different models before joining NASA. Airplanes, which is an important reason why NASA chose him as an astronaut.

It's just that Zhang Heng is unclear whether this encounter in 1955 will affect another copy 14 years later.

After giving the documents in his hand to Dr. Maggie, Zhang Heng returned to Armstrong. "So, have you just arrived in Cleveland?"

"Yeah, I submitted my application to the Drayton Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, but there are no places available at the moment, so I was arranged here." Armstrong said.

"That being the case, let's have a drink after the visit."
