Chapter 309 Viper
Zhang Heng had been thinking about the middle-aged man named Einstein he had met before. He didn't know whether the "magnificent desolation" mentioned in the first sentence of the other party was intentional or coincidental.
Because this sentence is exactly what Buzz Aldrin, who landed on the moon with Armstrong, felt when he stepped off the lunar module and saw the scene on the moon.
But he can't find the latter. Einstein is obviously a pseudonym. Zhang Heng currently only knows that the middle-aged man is a scientific researcher working in Area 51, but because of the nature of Area 51, unless the other party comes to him again, he will also It is impossible to meet each other again.
The latter, like the sandstorm at dusk, suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared.
Early the next morning, Zhang Heng also paid special attention to the expressions of Fatty Jialai and Bruno. Judging from their appearance, nothing special happened last night. They obviously did not see the man who claimed to be Einstein like him. The guy, but then Zhang Heng can only put this matter aside, because the next step is the field survival training.
This training will also determine who will eventually board Apollo 11, though probably not in the way NASA expects.
…………
After breakfast, Zhang Heng and others changed into space suits, and Area 51 sent a car to send them to the training site. There was a simulation cabin that had been placed in advance and planted one end in the yellow sand to simulate the return to Earth and the service. The command module is separated from the cabin.
The simulation cabin and the command cabin are built in a one-to-one ratio, and the configuration inside is the same as the command cabin, with all the items needed to survive in the wild.
The military truck pulled Zhang Heng and the three to the front of the simulation cabin, and the driver left after all three got in.
The captain and NASA staff were observing the situation with telescopes from two kilometers away.
NASA has also learned the lessons of the previous incidents. This time, the medical team and emergency rescue team are on standby nearby, and helicopters and off-road vehicles are used as maneuvers. In addition, the Air Force Base of Area 51 not far away is also guaranteed to be there. Provide assistance when necessary.
With this kind of preparation, almost no accident will happen again.
The space in the simulation cabin is very small. In fact, the entire spacecraft has been carefully designed. Taking modern rockets as an example, about 50kg of fuel is added for every 1kg of weight added. In order to ensure that the spacecraft has sufficient escape velocity, On the one hand, the launch vehicle needs to have enough thrust, and on the other hand, the weight of the spacecraft needs to be reduced as much as possible.
Therefore, after ensuring the functionality and safety as much as possible, only part of the driving experience can be sacrificed.
The three are now crammed into the crowded simulation cabin, with their bodies next to each other, which is a bit ironic for them who all want to kill each other.
Especially Bruno, his breathing was obviously rapid, and he didn't know what he was thinking. On the other hand, Jialai and Zhang Heng seemed to be much calmer, especially the latter, whose breathing hardly changed.
Now the environment in the cabin is too narrow, and everyone is wearing heavy space suits, there is no room for movement, so even if there is any idea, it is impossible to realize.
I don't know how long it took, during which the three remained silent until the sound of the radio came in their ears, and the captain told them that they could start training.
Jia Lai, who was closest to the cabin door, climbed out first, followed by Bruno. Zhang Heng was the last to leave the simulation cabin. He stepped on the soft sand and took off his helmet. He felt that he had returned to the outside world. .
Looking up, there was a desolate scene all around, except for some sparse shrubs, only a monotonous tone remained.
But then they faced another embarrassing problem, that is, how to take off their space suits. Space suits are designed to be used in space, but they become a burden after landing. Wearing such a heavy set of equipment is fundamentally difficult. It cannot move and consumes considerable physical strength.
Therefore, after the command module fell back to the ground, the first thing the astronauts did was to take off this set of equipment.
But even after so many trainings, if you only rely on yourself, it will take a lot of time to take off all this. If you have companions to help each other, you can greatly shorten the process, but the problem is now The three were on guard against each other, and none of them wanted others to resume action first.
In the end, Zhang Heng said to Jia Lai, "I'll take it off for you first."
A look of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes, but he still nodded. Bruno suddenly regretted it. He and Jia Lai were allies in name. At this time, they should have stood up to help, but Zhang Heng robbed them instead. First of all, in fact, there are people from NASA watching in the distance, and even if you want to kill the other party, it is unlikely to shoot at this time.
When Fatty took off his space suit, he also helped Zhang Heng take off his space suit, and finally Bruno on the other side finally got out of the shackles of that suit and put on NASA's ground uniform.
During this period, Zhang Heng returned to the simulation cabin once again, and took out food and water from the storage room. In addition, there were also equipment that might be used.
According to the training plan, the three first conducted long-distance communication for help, reported the general location of the three to the control center, and then began to build a field survival bunker.
Zhang Heng has done this kind of thing countless times in the first round of dungeons, but now he doesn't need to go around to collect raw materials, because NASA has made preparations in advance considering the various situations on the way back to the voyage, what they have to do Just drag those materials out and assemble them in order.
Fatty also has to admit that Zhang Heng is probably the most ideal type as far as teammates are concerned, calm, versatile, reliable... But as an opponent, this is not a good thing.
This also means that it will be more difficult for him to kill the opponent. If he doesn't make a shot, he will kill him with one shot, because the opponent will not give him a second chance. Fortunately, Jialai has always been a very patient person. Otherwise, he would not have disguised himself as a harmless cute dolphin at the beginning of the dungeon, and waited until Zhen Li and Bruno teamed up to clear the other players before showing his fangs.
He is like a venomous snake, always looking for the best time to hunt.
Therefore, at the beginning of the field survival training, he also cooperated very well. After asking for help, he actively joined the construction of the bunker. The three of them worked hard for a quarter of an hour and tied up the awning to block the venomous sun overhead.
Because of the training requirements, the three did not eat breakfast. Zhang Heng distributed the food from the storage room to the other two. Although his stomach was already hungry, the fat man still did not swallow in a hurry, but gave Bruno a wink. .
The latter knew what Jalai meant, opened a bag of dehydrated food with a bitter face, mixed it with the water in the sealed bag and put it into his mouth.
Guess what Einstein's identity is, hoo hoo, his position was quite clear in his words in the last chapter.
