v2 Chapter 61： Return to Space Center

The jeep stopped after less than half a turn, not because the other two were found, but because the wind and sand were too large, and the sand and stone blocked the exhaust pipe. At the beginning, it was just underpowered, but the engine stopped soon. Already.

In this case, once the flame is turned off, it is almost impossible to light it again, and the other jeep car is not much better, but it is a problem one by one, so everyone can only give up searching and wait in the car. The storm passed.

During this period, a small accident occurred. The glass on the right side of a car was broken by flying stones. Everyone had to use clothing to block the layer of glass layer by layer, which prevented the sand from pouring into the car. .

However, no one expected that the sandstorm lasted for a whole day and night. When the wind speed slowed down and it was possible to get out of the car, many people found that half of the wheels were trapped in the sand.

If the sandstorm lasts longer, it is unknown whether the people in the car can live safely, let alone the people outside the car. In such a harsh environment, it is almost impossible for missing people to survive. hope.

Even so, the captain immediately contacted the people in Area 51 after the wind was slightly weaker, and asked the other party to move to search for two astronaut candidates who were missing in the dust storm.

However, before this, the captain first sent Zhang Heng back to the Kennedy Space Center because the astronauts had to be quarantined for a week before the launch of the rocket, away from family, colleagues, and other outsiders to avoid catching a cold Viruses or other common diseases.

During this time, only staff members who have been screened by the medical team can contact the isolated astronauts in close proximity if necessary. Considering the ubiquitous bacteria and floating objects in the air, the astronauts cannot leave the isolation room. Even spouses or children who come to visit must have a medical examination first, and nasa also limits the time for visiting.

This will ensure the astronaut's health to the greatest extent, avoid missed launch windows and delay the launch mission because the astronauts are sick, but there will be no such problems after the spacecraft enters orbit. There are no bacteria and any infectious viruses in space, so it is also very Few astronauts get sick in space.

Because of the mysterious infectious disease before, nasa attaches great importance to this quarantine.

However, due to the unexpected storm, Zhang Heng had one day less quarantine time than planned. However, after the medical team conducted a comprehensive physical examination for him and confirmed that he was in good health, nasa's senior officials were completely relieved.

No one expected that things would turn into the current situation. If Armstrong and Corinth's return is an unexpected joy, stabilizing the confidence of NASA and even Congress on the moon landing, then this batch of urgently recruited astronaut candidates is unexpectedly frequent. In the end, only one of the seven survived and was totally over-scared by Nasa.

Fortunately, nasa finally got enough of the task team, and Zhang Heng survived still had the best training results among the seven. This result is not unacceptable to nasa.

Selection training unexpectedly turned into elimination training. In the end, there was no suspense for the candidate. For the next four days, Zhang Heng spent in the isolation room.

After entering the isolation period, astronauts will have no more tasks and training. Of course, the necessary exercises must be performed every day to keep the body in a good state. In addition, you can also use this time to adjust your sleep to adapt to Work schedule in space.

In terms of diet, nasa no longer has any restrictions. In theory, astronauts can tell nutritionists no matter what they want to eat, even some "junk foods" with relatively high calories, because the type and taste of aerospace foods are far less than The food on earth can also be regarded as a disguised compensation for astronauts before leaving.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no "last meal" in it.

After all, eight years have passed since Gagarin represented the first time that humans entered space, and humans have to challenge landing on another celestial body. For the Apollo 11 mission team, this is of course written in history. Opportunities for pen, but also accompanied by extremely high risks.

No one knows what will happen when the rocket launches. Just as no one knows whether the spacecraft can successfully enter the moon orbit, and whether the lunar module can land safely on the moon, let alone successfully return afterwards, and at the same time with the command on the orbit / Service cabin re-docking.

Even though this intermediate process has gone through thousands of calculations and simulations in the laboratory, no one knows what will happen when this moment comes.

After all, even insurance companies are reluctant to accept astronauts.

To this end, Armstrong and others also came up with a special insurance method. Before leaving, they left hundreds of envelopes with their own autographs and souvenirs related to the mission to the moon, and gave them to their relatives, friends and wives. Once there is an accident when they land on the moon, these signatures will be their last stunt, which will have considerable collection value. The money of selling envelopes can also guarantee the subsequent life of their respective families.

Armstrong also suggested Zhang Heng to do this, but was rejected by the latter. Zhang Heng did not have anyone to worry about in the United States in the 1960s, and all his relatives and friends were outside the copy. However, Zhang Heng helped Armstrong sign with Collins After a few envelopes, I took a group photo of the ruins. It is estimated that if it can be used, it will probably be a big price.

Zhang Heng did not think that Armstrong and Collins were too pessimistic. After all, it was no accident. At this time, the White House spokesperson should almost start preparing eulogy for them. Once the moon landing fails, this eulogy will also be in the first place. For a while, President Nixon, who has just been in office, broadcasts for the entire nation.

While expressing condolences to them, they also commended their courage and fearlessness ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to minimize the negative impact of the failure of the moon landing on the people.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Heng. He took advantage of the rare calm time before departure and checked his previous gains. After killing Jale, he received a basic reward of 20 points and also received from Jale Got three game props on his body, a wooden whistle, a lens and a glass marble. Zhang Heng guessed that the lens should be a prop related to Jia Lai's ability to maintain his vision in the sandstorm, because this thing is Zhang Hengzai Found in the latter's goggles.

As for the whistle and the glass marbles, it is difficult to distinguish their respective roles from the appearance, plus the fork and teeth he got from Bruno, it means that Zhang Heng got five pieces in this round of copies. Game props indeed hide high profits behind high risks.

But by contrast, he was more concerned about the small gift from the engineer named Einstein in Area 51, although that thing was not any game props.

But when he opened the box, Zhang Heng couldn't look away.

Because what's in the box is a wireless Bluetooth headset for airpods.
