Chapter 333: The Views of Astronauts from Other Countries
Merriken, NASA Astronaut Training Center.
In the past, the trainee astronauts had already started training, and the old astronauts were their instructors, but today the situation is a little different, the training ground and classrooms do not have their figures, but they are all gathered in a medical laboratory.
Young astronauts lay in bed, experienced astronaut instructors stood by the side, and many more scientists in white coats stared at the data, and the computers that displayed the data had various wires attached to the helmets on the beds, which in turn were worn on the heads of the young astronauts.
These helmets are none other than the Navigator Tec's Illusion Helmet, and they are all top-of-the-line helmets with 50% immersion.
With the experience of grabbing tickets last time, Merrican was more prepared this time, so he successfully grabbed more than a dozen top-level fantasy helmets.
And they don't want to make any fuss about it, after the last ticket exchange, they went to work on the orbital shuttle, and the agent almost got into it, not to mention, the little thing they got back was useless.
Fortunately, the helmet is more convenient, not as confidential as the orbital shuttle, and you can buy it back casually.
Reverse engineering must be reversed, they Merrican used to start reverse engineering, but before that, I watched so many videos and asked some users, but how it is, I still need to try it myself.
I heard that the Navigator Aerospace has used a fantasy helmet for space tourists, and there is a complete astronaut training system in it, so it means that the official astronauts of the Navigator must have used it a long time ago, and if you expand it further, the astronauts of Tianxia may also use it.
In that case, the Merriken Space Agency can't afford to lag behind.
However, the old astronauts and instructors are all NASA treasures, and the middle-aged ones are not only experienced and ready to carry out space missions, but they also know a lot of NASA secrets, so they can't be allowed to test.
At the very least, they can't be allowed to enter the network of the Navigator Company, the brain is open to the Navigator, and then they will be allowed to go on the reverse product.
Then even if they are astronauts of the Merriken Space Agency and know few secrets, then there are only newly recruited astronaut cadets.
Since the beginning of commercial spaceflight, NASA has known that the number of astronauts in the future will definitely grow explosively, and the traditional training method is expensive and the cycle is too long, so it will definitely have to be updated.
It's just what to replace, how to accelerate, how to reduce investment, and there is nothing too easy for NASA to do.
They have made several attempts to integrate some advanced technologies into astronaut training programs, such as VR helmets, "holographic training", etc., all of which sound bullish, but the effect is not good.
Later, as soon as the Navigator space tourism project came out, sure enough, the number of astronauts began to skyrocket.
Those who are just "pseudo-astronauts" who go to space tourism forget it, it doesn't count.
According to statistics, there are no less than 50 astronauts who can fly shuttles and stand in space for experimental training!
Although the Navigator claims that those who train and serve on the space station belong to the "cadet level", in the eyes of some people from the space agency, they have already been to space and the space station, and what kind of cadet level is funny
Regardless, it's a fact that there are suddenly dozens more astronauts on the Navigator, and it is said that there are dozens of real "cadet-level astronauts" training on the ground.
Good guys, it's only been a long time, and the Navigator has hundreds of astronauts
And it's both, which is the most cowhide.
Normally, the space agency only recruits astronauts once in several years, and there are only a few or a dozen at a time, and there are only a few dozen astronauts in active service.
Now it seems that the Navigator can maintain such a large team of astronauts, in addition to the fact that its astronauts do not engage in scientific research to save training costs, it also has a lot to do with the illusion helmet.
Through the video screen transmitted by the helmet, the astronaut instructors and scientists standing outside knew very well what kind of training the trainee astronauts had received, and seeing that they really experienced the feeling of weightlessness in the fantasy world, everyone's faces were more solemn.
However, people with different identities have different meanings of solemn expressions.
In the illusion, the faces of the dozen or so trainee astronauts were much better than those outside, and what they saw most on their faces was surprise.
As trainee astronauts who entered service last year, they are also active astronauts of the Merriken Space Agency, but it is not their turn to go to heaven, and what awaits them is a long period of training.
Their first chance to get in touch with space will probably be tomorrow, and when the first astronauts on the space station change shifts next year, they will have the opportunity to go into space and go to the space station, but only three of them.
Like the moon landing a few months later, it would be even less important for them, they could only watch.
It's like watching the Navigator send class after wave of space tourists into space.
Ironically, as professional astronauts, and the world's most powerful Merrican astronauts, they have fewer opportunities to go into space than ordinary people.
Of course, they believe that the space agency is the most powerful on the planet, at least until they join it and become it.
Now, it's a little sad to think that what they're using is the Navigator.
There are even a few other ideas.
"Could it be that my own participation has lowered the average score of the Merrican Space Agency, making it not strong enough?"
But they soon blocked out the idea.
"No, no, no, I'm so good, I came to the space agency after layers of selection, and I have defeated countless opponents, but the trump card of the trump card, how can the space agency decline because of me, I can definitely lead the space agency to glory again!"
With this mentality, they all entered the fantasy space, and then found the "astronaut training program" that had appeared many times before and began to explore, test and train seriously.
Not to mention, the fantasy space is a cow batch, not only the training process is similar to their previous training, but the 50% realism is also very powerful, if you don't deliberately think it's fake, but immerse yourself in the training, it's easy to be confused with the formal training that you and others received.
It's a bit of a drama with the Chinese character logo inside, but it doesn't matter, they have learned Chinese, and this is still a new subject for their group of astronauts.
In the past, cosmonauts were required to learn Russian, but now they have to learn not only Russian, but also Chinese.
As for why, NASA didn't say, but they all knew it.
But one thing to say, the fantasy world and the illusion helmet are cow batches, after doing basic training, and making a mission report to the people watching the video outside, they got on the spaceship to space.
The spacecraft is the style of the old Shenzhou spacecraft in the early days, and the original navigator was authorized by the Tianxia Space Agency, and now the Tianxia Space Agency has a new manned spacecraft, and it has also obtained a more advanced orbital shuttle, so the old spacecraft naturally does not need to be kept secret, not to mention that it is still virtual here.
Then, the function of being used as a training device comes to the fore.
When the spacecraft flew into space, the trainee astronauts experienced the feeling of weightlessness and were pleasantly surprised.
They have experienced weightlessness, but they use the parabolic flight method of an airplane, and the time for experiencing food is only 30 seconds, but because of their experience, they can tell whether it is real weightlessness or not.
The results speak for themselves.
The simulated universe of the fantasy space wins.
[Okay, the training is completely successful, you can take a break for a while.] 】
Reading the instructions coming from outside, their excited and tense nerves relaxed for a moment, and then became excited again.
"Ahem, let's rest outside, let's go ...... Shopping"
"Ahem, it's good to go shopping, but we can't relax, I suggest we go play...... Try the fantasy game "Interstellar Age", after all, it has something to do with space. ”
"Yes, I read some guides on the Internet, and players said that it can show the real space environment, which completely simulates the life scene of human beings in the interstellar era, especially the spacecraft flight is very real."
Someone else whispered: "The navigator is the cow ......"
