Chapter 54: The Viper

Zhang Heng has been thinking about the middle-aged man named Einstein he met before, and he doesn't know whether the "magnificent desolation" mentioned in the other party's first sentence is intentional or coincidental.

Because this sentence is exactly how Buzz Aldrin, who went to the moon with Armstrong, felt when he stepped off the lunar module and saw the scene on the moon.

However, he can't find the latter, Einstein is obviously a pseudonym, Zhang Heng 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 not be able to meet the other party again.

The latter is like a sandstorm at dusk, appearing and disappearing suddenly.

Early the next morning, Zhang Heng also deliberately paid attention to the looks of the fat man Jia Lai and Bruno, judging from their appearance, there should have been nothing special happened last night, they obviously didn't see the guy who called himself Einstein like him, but after that, Zhang Heng could only put this matter aside, because the next thing was wild survival training.

This training will also determine the final candidate for Apollo 11, but it may not be in the way NASA intended.

…………

After breakfast, Zhang Heng and the others changed into spacesuits, and Area 51 sent a car to send them to the training site, where there was a simulation cabin that had been placed in advance, one planted in the yellow sand, used to simulate the command module separated from the service module when returning to Earth.

The simulation module and the command module are built in a one-to-one ratio, and the configuration inside is the same as that of the command module, with all the items needed to survive in the wild.

The military truck pulled Zhang Heng and the three of them to the simulation cabin, and the driver left after all three of them got in.

The captain and NASA staff were watching with telescopes from two kilometers away.

NASA has also learned the lessons of previous incidents, this time with medical teams and emergency rescue teams on standby, helicopters and off-road vehicles for maneuvering, and a nearby Area 51 Air Force Base that has been assured of assistance if needed.

With such preparation, there are almost no more accidents.

The space in the simulation cabin is very small, in fact, the entire spacecraft is carefully designed, taking modern rockets as an example, every 1kg of weight will be increased by about 50kg of fuel, in order to ensure that the spacecraft has enough escape speed, on the one hand, the launch vehicle needs to have enough thrust, on the other hand, the spacecraft needs to reduce the weight as much as possible.

Therefore, after ensuring functionality and safety as much as possible, only part of the driving experience can be sacrificed.

The trio were now huddled together in a crowded simulation cabin, body to body, which seemed ironic to them who wanted to kill each other.

Especially Bruno, his breathing was obviously short, and he didn't know what he was thinking, on the other hand, Jia Lai and Zhang Heng seemed much calmer, especially the latter, and his breathing hardly changed.

The environment in the cabin is too cramped, and everyone is wearing heavy spacesuits, so there is not much room to move, so even if there is any idea, it is impossible to realize it.

It was unknown how long it took, but all three remained silent until the sound of the radio came to their ears and the captain told them that they could start training.

Jia Lai, who was closest to the hatch, climbed out first, followed by Bruno, and Zhang Heng was the last to leave the simulation cabin, his feet on the soft sand, and he took off his helmet, he felt like he was back in the outside world.

As far as the eye can see, there is a desolate scene all around, except for a few sparse shrubs that remain in a monotonous hue.

But then they faced another embarrassing problem, that is, how to take off the spacesuit, the spacesuit is designed to be used in space, but after landing, it becomes a burden, and it can't move at all with such a heavy set of equipment, and it will consume considerable physical strength.

Therefore, after the command module fell back to the ground, the first thing the astronauts did was to take off the set of equipment on their bodies.

But even after so many trainings, it would take a lot of time to take off all the things on your own, and if you have a companion to help each other, the process can be greatly shortened, but the problem is that the three of them are now wary of each other, and they don't want others to resume their actions first.

In the end, Zhang Heng said to Jia Lai, "I'll help you take it off first." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the latter's eyes, but he still nodded, Bruno suddenly regretted it, he and Jia Lai were nominal allies, and they should have stood up to help at this time, but they didn't expect to be preempted by Zhang Heng, in fact, there are NASA people watching in the distance now, even if they want to kill the other party, it is unlikely that they will make a move at this time.

When the fat man took off his spacesuit, he also helped Zhang Heng also take off the spacesuit on his body, and finally Bruno on the other side finally got rid of the shackles of that body and changed into a NASA ground uniform.

During this period, Zhang Heng returned to the simulation cabin again, took out food and water from the storage room, and in addition, there were also instruments that could be used.

According to the training plan, the three of them first carried out long-distance help communication, reported the general direction of the three to the control center, and then began to build a wilderness survival bunker.

Zhang Heng had already done this kind of thing countless times in the first round of dungeons, but now he didn't need to go around collecting raw materials, because NASA took into account the various situations on the way back and prepared in advance, all they had to do was to drag out those materials and assemble them in order.

The fat man also has to admit that in terms of teammates, Zhang Heng is probably the most ideal type, calm, all-round, and reliable...... But as an adversary, that's not a good thing.

This also means that it will be more difficult for him to kill the other party, and if he doesn't make a move, he will be fatal with a single blow, because the other party will not give him a second chance, fortunately, Jia Lai 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 Kuang and Bruno teamed up to empty the other players before showing his fangs.

He is like a poisonous snake that always finds the best time to hunt.

Therefore, at the beginning of the wilderness survival training, he also showed great cooperation, and actively joined in the construction of the bunker after the call for help, and the three of them were busy for a quarter of an hour, putting up the awning to block the scorching sun overhead.

Because of the training requirements, none of the three of them had breakfast, Zhang Heng divided the food taken out of the pantry with the other two, although his stomach already felt hungry, the fat man still did not swallow in a hurry, but gave Bruno on the side a look.

The latter knew what Jia Lai meant, and with a bitter face, he opened a bag of dehydrated food, mixed it with the water in the sealed bag, and put it in his mouth.

Guess what Einstein's identity is, roar, his position is actually quite clear in the previous chapter.
