Five years later.

The last semester of the third year of high school had just begun, and Director Yan invited Ma Fei to his office.

"This year, you are the only student who has any hope of making it to the top spot. I have a request, can I waive my decision to take the pilot exam? Director Yan pondered for a long time, looking at Ma Fei with eagerness and hope.

Ma Fei was stunned.

Director Yan took out a photo frame from his desk that had already been made—the frame was very exquisite, the wood used was better than that of any previous year, and inside was a photo of Ma Fei.

Director Yan stared at Ma Fei tightly, and the eagerness in his eyes gradually warmed up, and he even became a little fanatical.

"Didn't your father make a bet to me that he would make you the best student? Well, I can throw in the towel! Look, I'm ready. Only you can regain the glory of the past for Boyu. ”

Seeing that Ma Fei was not moved, his voice softened, handed the photo frame to Ma Fei, and asked with a slight pleading: "Director Count...... Please? ”

Ma Fei felt very embarrassed, and a strong man like Director Yan suddenly pleaded tactfully, which made it difficult for him to deal with it. However, the dream in his heart was too big, and the goal he wanted to achieve was too important to be insignificant compared to the short-term embarrassment.

"But it's my own business. I'm sorry. Ma Fei bent down deeply, bowed, and turned to leave. Director Yan was furious and slammed the photo frame that he had carefully held in his hand just now.

Not long after, when other candidates were still preparing for the college entrance examination, Ma Fei had already received the admission letter of the pilot in advance.

The moment he got the notice, Ma Fei immediately rushed to tell his father, who was still working on the construction site. However, Ma Haowen is not the first to know the news. Just ten minutes before him, a friend of the Civil Aviation Administration conveyed the good news to Director Yan.

At that time, Director Yan was playing parallel bars in the sand pit. On the project he was most proud of, he suddenly fell through. The whole person was lying in the sand pit, motionless.

The chapter of the Boyu School is over.

People must do what they love.

For eight years, Ma Fei spent every day in jumps, dives, half-rolling somersaults, half-somersaults, and maneuvering flights with large loads. His flight time totaled 1,200 hours and a distance of more than 600,000 kilometers.

Until one day......

Ma Fei finished his daily training and prepared to go back to the dormitory to take a shower. He wore headphones, listened to the song and beat it with his hands, and when he opened the door of the dormitory, he found several officers with serious expressions standing in the room.

He hurriedly pulled off his headphones and looked at the officer's collar badge and cockade, and was even more surprised. I saw that the middle-aged officer led by him was not tall, with a dark face, and a slightly fatter figure than he imagined. The officer stepped forward and casually pulled out an ID badge from the front pocket of his jacket and showed it.

"Space Center, Pan Wanli. Astronaut, what do you want to do? ”

Ma Fei was stunned.

His ears were ringing, and the blood seemed to freeze. He once again found the feeling of the Flying Leopard fighter jet whizzing overhead.

After a while, Ma Fei could only say one sentence: "When can I report for duty?" ”

Tall and open space training center.

The main venue is like a factory, but it is the most rigorous and clean factory in the world.

A huge white steel structure supports the canopy, under which are all sorts of strange equipment mounted to simulate different parts of a space vehicle. There is also a pool in the middle of the site, the water of which is blue and unfathomable. On the wall is a line of bright red letters: "Strict and stricter, cautious and more cautious, fine and finer, solid and more substantial".

The highest known wisdom, the greatest skill, the longest patience and the greatest courage of mankind are all condensed under this roof. The person who can stand here is the best among people, a superman, and a hero.

The 2,000 pilots stood solemnly and quietly listened to the lecture of Commander-in-Chief Pan Wanli.

"The two thousand of you are an elite selected from among the pilots of the whole country. The top 10 people will be selected as astronauts. And in the end, no more than five people can go to heaven. You will undergo the most rigorous training, and you will face the most brutal elimination, even the test of life and death. Have faith? ”

"Yes!"

In the crowd, Ma Fei puffed up his chest and shouted extremely loudly.

The training of astronauts is brutal.

In order to adapt to the extreme environment of traveling from Earth to space and back again, prospective astronauts have to put their bodies and minds through extraordinary tests.

A rapidly rotating swivel chair is used to train vestibular function, a buoyancy simulation tank is used to practice weightlessness, a large centrifuge is used to enhance the student's tolerance to overweight, and an isolation chamber is used to improve the student's adaptation to life in space......

In addition to this, they learn to use life-saving equipment such as ejection seats, as well as the skills to survive on their own in extremely hot and cold environments.

Every day of training puts people to death, and then, teaches them to survive.

Being able to survive means that this person not only has a strong physique, but more importantly, he must have a strong and stable heart.

Of the 2,000 people, people kept leaving. Ma Fei always gritted his teeth and persevered to the end.

Finally, it's time for the final full-program flight simulation of a real spacecraft.

Ma Fei put on his spacesuit and sat in the flight cabin. The hatch shut.

Outside the cabin, the medical staff stared closely at the numbers on the screen of the instrument, and suddenly showed a puzzled expression. He looked up and down, and then went to check the power of the instrument.

"Or seventy-five times? When pigs fly! Why did Ma Fei's heartbeat change significantly when he first went to the sky? It must be that the instrument is broken. ”

Next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window outside the venue, stood the commander-in-chief Pan Wanli. A smile appeared on his serious countenance, and his eyes were full of approval.
