The copy of the Apollo program training camp was in 1969, and if the blonde beauty was not lying, he was now fourteen years before the start of the Apollo program.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, even NASA had not yet been established at this time, but its predecessor, the National Aviation Advisory Committee (NACA), was established in 1915, and in fact, after following the blonde beauty to the laboratory, and after meeting other intern students and laboratory supervisors, Zhang Heng finally figured out what the Lewis Flight Power Laboratory was.

It is the third laboratory under NACA, formerly known as the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory, was established at the beginning to solve the backwardness of American engine manufacturing, in 1939 the outbreak of World War II, the European liquid-cooled engine compared with the United States air-cooled engine has a speed and height advantage in combat, some people of insight realized that the United States national engine research facilities are scarce, so the Congress approved in 1940 the proposal to build an engine research center near the airport in Cleveland, Ohio.

It was in this context that the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory was established and was renamed the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in 1948 in honor of the late Director of NACA's Department of Aeronautical Research, George W. Brown. Lewis, but better known as the Glenn Research Center (renamed again in 1999), is NASA's key research institute specializing in space engine research.

Although this transition copy was forcibly opened by the system in response to the bug made by Zhang Heng, it did not completely break away from the main copy of the Apollo Program training camp, but gave him the status of an MIT graduate student, and threw him to the Lewis Flight Power Laboratory fourteen years ago, and if nothing else, he would return to the copy of the Apollo Program training camp when the time stop was over.

As far as the result is concerned, of course, this is not a direct stop, he can solve the competitor in the static world, which is equivalent to clearing the level in advance, but judging from the previous prompt, because it is not possible to determine whether he is cheating or not, the system has also compensated him to a certain extent on the premise of protecting other players.

Lewis Flight Power Laboratory is an important laboratory under NACA, the people working in it are the top scientists and engineers in the United States at that time, after the dissolution of NACA merged into NASA, the focus of these experts has also turned to aviation technology, although Zhang Heng can not directly learn aviation knowledge in the future, but can make up for the previous physics, engineering and aerodynamics knowledge in advance.

And Lewis Flight Power Laboratory is next to the airport in Cleveland, Ohio, although he can't complete the main mission of seeing the earth from a different angle in advance, but if he is lucky, he can at least drive the plane around the sky twice, the T-38 trainer for Apollo program training has not yet been developed at this time, but the predecessor T-33 was introduced into flight training in the early 50s.

The jet that Zhang Heng saw on the runway before would be the T-33 if nothing else.

But before he could do so, he had to solve a problem first, the system gave him the identity of a graduate student at MIT, and soon Zhang Heng knew why the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory was recruiting a group of graduate students for internships, because NACA had launched a hypersonic research engine program.

- X-15, directly using a rocket-powered engine, with a maximum speed of Mach 6.72, close to six times the speed of sound, and a maximum flight altitude of 107.8 kilometers above the ground, directly out of the Kármán line and into space, until the 21st century, it is still the fastest manned aircraft of mankind.

In 1955, the X-15 research and development program was officially launched, and the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory was also involved, recruiting Zhang Heng and their batch of MIT graduate students to assist engineers and scientists in the laboratory to conduct related research, but the problem is that Zhang Heng's master is sent by the system to charge the phone bill, he hopes to learn relevant knowledge in the laboratory, but once he reveals that he has no foundation, it is more likely that he will be sent back to school directly.

And even if the situation goes in the best direction, he can still stay in the laboratory, and who would want to make up lessons for him from scratch when the scientific research task is so heavy.

Zhang Heng hasn't had time to think of a countermeasure, the blonde beauties in charge of human resources have begun to assign this batch of intern graduate students to the engineers in the laboratory, of course, if the engineers have people who particularly want them, they can also be directly named, and two of them should have had contact with some of these graduate students, and directly picked out the people they wanted.

However, the vast majority of people just told the blonde beauties about their needs and waited for the manpower to be allocated, but Zhang Heng didn't expect to see a yellow face in it.

You must know that now is not the next generation, in the United States in the fifties, especially in the top scientific research institutions, the number of Asians is not large, not to mention that from the appearance of the other party, there is a high probability of Chinese.

Therefore, Zhang Heng tried to say hello to the other party in Chinese, and the latter's face showed a look of surprise, obviously understanding Zhang Heng's question, but Zhang Heng's current appearance has been systematically corrected, and the characteristics of Europeans and Americans are more obvious, so the Chinese engineer was a little surprised.

Zhang Heng had to speak again, "Hello, can I be your assistant?" ”

"What are you majoring in? I'm doing research on the flow theory of turbomachinery, I don't know if you're interested? ”

"Economics, sophomore." Zhang Heng was ashamed, this kind of thing can't be hidden, rather than saying it after assigning the task, it is better to confess it now.

"............" The other party was obviously stunned by this answer, and he was speechless for a long time, not sure if this was American humor, or some invisible discrimination, after all, he had not been discriminated against for so many years of studying in the United States.

"I'm sorry, I need to stay in the lab for some reason, and I'd like to learn some engineering if possible, and I can try my luck with someone else if you find it too troublesome."

Because the above conversation is conducted in Chinese, no one else can understand except for the two, so Zhang Heng is not worried about other people listening, and he is not too worried that the other party will tell others his details, because Chinese people abroad basically have the attitude that more is better than less.

However, if the other party refuses him, it will not be easy for him to fish in the laboratory all the time.

Fortunately, I don't know if it was because Zhang Heng's fluent Chinese moved the other party, so that the other party felt a sense of intimacy in a distant foreign country, and after hesitating for a moment, the man spoke again, only a simple word, "Good." ”

After that, he walked to the blonde beauty and asked for Zhang Heng, plus another MIT female student who was assigned, these were his two assistants.

When the matter was over, he returned to the laboratory and stretched out a hand to Zhang Heng, "I don't seem to have introduced myself yet, Wu Zhonghua, Chinese." ”

"Zhang Heng." Zhang Heng also reported his real name, paused, and then added, "Chinese." ”

Note: Wu Zhonghua, Qian Xuesen of China's aviation industry, graduated from MIT with a Ph.D., worked in the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory, founded the internationally recognized general theory of ternary flow of turbomachinery, is a world-class scientist, and many older generation scientists in that era, gave up high salaries abroad, and then took his wife to return from Europe in the name of travel, both husband and wife are the founders of China's aviation industry, but he has actually returned to China at this point in time in the real world, or wrote about him, In addition to the needs of the plot, I also have a little selfishness.,I hope more people can know about these older generation of scientists.。 In addition, the transition script was not the focus, it ended quickly, and the focus was still on the Apollo program. (Make an exception and write it in the text, it may cost you a few cents more, I hope that friends who watch pirated copies can also see it.) ）
