Chapter 20: To the Martian base

Professor Shen Wei asked everyone to report their feelings about the training, but some said that it was intense and some said that it was not intense, so he simply named them and said them one by one. Xu Jiawei spoke first, he said: "I didn't feel any pressure, I walked all the way easily, as if people were deliberately letting me." ”

"Not bad. The professor said, "I hope your next level will be so easy." But it's easy on this side, but it's not easy on the other side, you have to take care of it yourself, your pressure mainly comes from family. ”

"I know, Professor. Even if my mom didn't agree with me, I would have gone up, and this time I decided. Xu Jiawei said.

"As I said, the family organization will not come forward, you can take care of it yourself. If you really can't pass the threshold at home, you will give up the quota to others, and the laboratory also needs you. The professor said.

"I'll take care of it, Professor. Xu Jiawei said.

"Good. Next, Lin Shanshan, you say. Professor Shen Wei said.

"Good. Lin Shanshan said, "Professor, my physical condition has passed smoothly, my knowledge structure easily overwhelms them, and my adaptability has no opponent." Just ......"

"Unexpectedly, there is a small deviation in psychological quality, but it's okay, although it ranks second, but the gap with the first place is declining, and your comprehensive results are far behind, so it can be regarded as an easy selection. The next level may be a bit stressful for you, and the results of the previous round will not carry over to the next round, so you have to work hard. Professor Shen Wei encouraged.

"I will, I can surpass my opponent with confidence. Lin Shanshan said.

"I'll say it. After Lin Shanshan finished speaking, Ma Biao did not wait for the professor's roll call, and then said, "I am just the opposite of Shanshan, my psychological quality has been the first, and I have left them far behind, our physical condition is almost the same, our adaptability is slightly better, and the knowledge structure is not very ideal, but only second." However, the overall ranking is still the first, and it passed smoothly. ”

"Keep working hard, the next round may focus on adaptability and mental quality, this is your advantage, as long as you grasp it well, it shouldn't be a big problem. The professor also gave some encouragement.

Chen Jie took a sip of tea and said: "I think the pressure is quite great, in addition to the physical condition, each item is a fierce competition, the knowledge structure and adaptability barely rank first, and the psychological quality is at the bottom." In the end, although the overall score ranked second, it was only 0.01 points away from the third place, but there was a gap with the first place. Although it has entered simulation training, it will still be eliminated in the end. ”

"Anything is possible. Even if you don't make it, the lab is still your home, and it's a good thing whether you choose it or not. Students, the new training camp will start soon, you must be fully mentally prepared, space travel is not smooth sailing, not to mention going to such a far place, there will still be risks, if you embark on the road to the Mars base, there is a 50% chance that you will not be able to come back for a long time, once you choose to go directly to the expedition, you can not return to Earth until the mission is completed many years later. You have to think clearly, it's still too late to quit, and if you are chosen, then I'm sorry, you have no way out. From today onwards, your work in the laboratory will be temporarily over, and you will be handed over to my assistant, if you are not selected for the next few months of flight simulation training, come back and reassign the work, after you are selected, you may leave this laboratory forever, because when you come back, the laboratory will no longer be able to put your Buddha. After the handover, go home to rest, spend more time with your parents, and return here to gather as soon as the training order arrives. Do you understand everything?"

"Understood. Everyone said in unison.

"There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and the days we get along day and night are over, students, we will meet in another way next, we can see and hear each other every day, but we can't meet each other. Of course, this is an afterword, and it's still a little early to say, but this day is coming, so it's better to say it early and prepare early. Fortunately, everyone's psychological quality is very good, and there will be no such reluctance scene. Professor Shen Wei glanced at Lin Shanshan, and found that her expression was a little sad, so he specially named her, "Shanshan, you say yes, everyone will be happy to be together in another way in the future." ”

"Yes, Professor, we are equally happy. Lin Shanshan said.

"Okay, do you have anything else to say?" Professor Shen Wei said.

"Professor, you still command all our operations, right?" asked Lin Shanshan.

"Yes, I am the commander-in-chief of this rescue operation, and we will meet every day and give you orders every day. It's equivalent to saying that we are still together every day, but in a different way. ”

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to the Mars base to simulate the flight, and Professor Shen Wei and the four disciples went to the base together. They flew in a sub-light speed vehicle, which is currently the most common means of transportation in inner space, and it only took them about 10 minutes to reach their destination. In addition to Xu Jiawei, the other three disciples left the earth for the first time, and after arriving on Mars, they felt very novel, and the first feeling was that the sun was much smaller than the earth.

"Xu Jiawei, how did you feel about going to Venus last time?" Lin Shanshan asked.

"The first feeling was that the sun was big, a little scary. At that time, I was still thinking that I was lucky not to go to Mercury, otherwise the sun I saw would be even bigger, and I wouldn't be scared, haha. Xu Jiawei said.

Professor Shen Wei said: "At present, there are only intelligent people who mine asteroids and some technicians and spacecraft manufacturing workers on Mars, and the space flight simulation environment system has just been built, which is specially built for this flight, and the scientific and technological personnel who manage and maintain this system have arrived earlier than you, and there are no irrelevant personnel and no tourists." While you haven't been handed over to the base yet, you should take a look around, once you enter the base, you won't be able to get out. ”

"Will there be a companion who will arrive before us?" you see--" Lin Shanshan pointed ahead, "There are also four over there." ”

"It's entirely possible that you can communicate with them, or we can go ours, but not too far, because we are only partially modified on Mars, and our work and life are in this range, including the launch base. The professor said.

The people over there also saw them and waved their hands at them.

"In order to transform the environment of Mars, our predecessors spent a lot of effort to survey the entire Mars, and finally chose this place, because the temperature here is relatively high all year round, and it does not change much, and the terrain is flat. After hundreds of years of transformation, about 10,000 square kilometers have been a bit suitable for human habitation, of which 1,000 square kilometers of the core block, is where we are now, oxygen content, gravity, etc. are completely the same as the earth, there are 100 square kilometers of greenhouse buildings, see no, is the core of the core, can produce water, completely simulate the environment of the successful earth, there will rain, plants, and small animals. ”

Ma Biao sighed: "Our millennium thinker is right, 'As long as there are people in the world, any miracle in the world will be created'." ”

"I don't know if there are any projects that you have arranged for you to visit in this simulation training, if there is, it is the best, it is not easy to come to Mars, you can take a good look at it within a certain range. If you want to go further, you have to put on a spacesuit, because you can't breathe oxygen when you go out of an area of 10,000 square kilometers, and the southern hemisphere is more spectacular than the northern hemisphere. ”

"Professor, have you been here?" said Chen Jie.

"I've surveyed pretty much the entire surface of Mars. Professor Shen Wei said.

"Our professor has also been to Mercury and Venus. Xu Jiawei said, "If several other gas planets are allowed to go, our professor will definitely go there." ”

"According to the current operating norms, the gas planet can only be visited by intelligent people, but there will be a day when we will land on which planets. The professor said.

A spaceship has arrived, and another group of people participating in simulation training have arrived.

"Let's go, let's go through the check-in procedures first. ”

At the check-in desk, Shen Wei met his old classmate Professor Wu, who was the person in charge of the base and the general person in charge of this simulation training.

Professor Wu let Shen Wei and his entourage to his office and said, "Old classmate, you personally sent your protΓ©gΓ© over." ”

"I've been with them for a few years, and it's still a little reluctant to separate once they're separated, so I'll leave it to you now. Shen Wei said. Then he introduced the disciples to Professor Wu one by one.

"Oh, famous teachers produce high apprentices, these people are very good. I have seen Xu Jiawei, when he was still in middle school, he began to publish papers, what is the title of that paper, and he won the national award......"

"On the Development and Utilization of Planetary Resources in Outer Space," Xu Jiawei said softly.

"Oh, yes, yes, the point of view is very novel, when it comes to not competing with the inhabitants of the alien planet for resources, find out whether there is life in the entire galaxy before surveying, and if you find that there is life, give up the survey, and leave this resource to the inhabitants of this star system. That's a good view, and I couldn't agree more. A middle school student can make this point of view, so open-minded, good!"

"Professor Wu, you have won the award, at that time, you were like a newborn calf, you didn't have any sense of proportion, you could say whatever you wanted, and you were lucky to win the award with the support of the teachers. Xu Jiawei said.

"Hehe, I still haven't changed the shyness of the middle school disciples back then, when I sat in the front row of the stage with Lao Shen, my face was red when I saw you on stage to accept the award. Lao Shen said that if a research team is formed one day, the first one will be to come over. Later, Lao Shen has been silently paying attention to your growth, and when Lao Shen formed the research team, he really got his wish, you are the first disciple of Professor Shen's team, right?" Professor Wu said.

"Yes. Xu Jiawei said, "Professor Shen cares for me very much!" It turns out that there is such a story behind it, Xu Jiawei has never known that he has been paid attention to by top astronomers in China since he was in middle school, and he is really honored. Professor Shen Wei is like this, he doesn't say a word about the dedication of his disciples, and tries his best to record all the achievements on his disciples, such a professor is really good.

Professor Wu has some understanding of the composition of Professor Shen Wei's team, in which he values Xu Jiawei the most, and if nothing else, Xu Jiawei will definitely become a pillar of the national astronomical cause in the future. Suddenly, Professor Wu felt a faint sense of regret in his heart.
