Chapter Twenty-Six: No Preparation
"David, get ready and get started."
When he was below before, Zhang Heng had already seen the previous few people test ride this machine, but this is completely different from sitting on it in person.
Zhang Heng noticed that there was a small display screen on his right front, which could show the offset, and in addition to that, there was a control stick in front of his left and right hands, which didn't seem to be so complicated in terms of operation alone.
However, when the multi-axis trainer was activated, Zhang Heng knew how difficult it was to stabilize the seat, and the accuracy of the strength and angle was very high, and he had just begun to touch a little operation skill, and the multi-axis trainer began to accelerate.
Zhang Heng felt like he was being thrown into a rapidly spinning blender, and he tried to stabilize the seat with the rocker, but to be honest, even he didn't know if it would be useful to do so.
He could see the whole world swaying upside down overhead, one second he could see the spotlight on the ceiling, the next he could see the calf of someone he didn't know, the next he was a pipe on the wall, and the undigested dinner was churning in his stomach.
At this time, except for the player who went up before Zhang Heng who was still vomiting in the bathroom, the previous few people all eased up a little, and they gathered not far away to look at Zhang Heng on the multi-axis trainer, and their faces showed some schadenfreude expressions more or less.
After all, each of them had been quite embarrassed before, and it would be a little better to see someone join them.
However, after looking at it for a while, the middle-aged man with gold-wire glasses changed his face first, and asked, "How long has it been?" ”
Everyone heard the rumors and said that you look at me and I look at you, they have just come out of the nightmare, although they have been observing the surrounding environment, but their attention is basically on the instructor-like man, and it stands to reason that no one will pinch other people's time.
Who knew that at this moment, a voice suddenly said, "2 minutes and 52 seconds, he has more than doubled our average time, and twice the shortest record." ”
The one who spoke was the only girl among the seven, with short hair, who looked very capable. She seemed to be very interested in Zhang Heng, and she had been eyeing him since Zhang Heng took the initiative to retreat, and was now pinching the clock.
"Thanks for the reminder." The fat man has been treated by the medical staff and has woken up from the coma, but because of the food fountain he performed before, many people now see that he is not good-looking, and there are faint signs of being excluded, he is now standing a little far away from the crowd, wiping a cold sweat, and said with a wry smile.
"What is this guy's profession, pilot, acrobat?" The strong man named Anderson spoke,
"Who knows, I think he's more of a professional killer." The girl said, a subtle look of excitement flashed in her eyes.
Just as a few people were talking, Zhang Heng finally stopped the multi-axis training instrument, and when his feet touched the ground again, the dizziness in his mind did not completely disappear, and he had to reach out and hold the handrail of the stairs on the side.
Thanks to his previous ten years as a pirate, he had sailed the Jackdaw through many storms, and his sense of balance had improved as a result, which was why he was able to stay on the multi-axis trainer for a longer period of time.
But then he went into the bathroom like everyone else, and when he came out of the bathroom, the six people outside had regrouped.
And the instructor-like man also spoke again, "In order to prevent any of you from forgetting, I will introduce myself again, my name is William Kenhaus, you can call me Kenhouse, or Captain, whatever you want, as you know, we just launched Apollo 10 three days ago, this plan is the first time we will bring the lunar module into lunar orbit for testing, and it is also a rehearsal for the subsequent lunar landing, so far everything has gone well, if nothing else, they will be back in five days." And then there's our main event. ”
The captain paused at this point, "We will use Apollo 11 to send our people to the moon, but now there is a problem, just a week ago, someone in the mission team was infected with a new infectious disease, and although our medical team tried to control the source of infection, they still lost a group of astronauts, and they can no longer fly missions in their current state, including the full members of the upcoming Apollo 11 mission, replacement members, and support team, in short, We don't have astronauts on our hands now. ”
Zhang Heng and the other players are listening quietly, NASA in history must not have had such a large-scale infectious disease, this is obviously an emergency that the copy inserts in order to let them "get on top", but more importantly, how it will develop in the future.
The captain continued, "In short, we are very tight on manpower, the director proposed to the president to postpone the moon landing, but this proposal was rejected, Sputnik 1, Gagarin, the Soviet Union are ahead of us in every important space exploration achievement, and the current situation is 2:0, so the next game is we going to win no matter what."
“…… Personally, I prefer to choose candidates for astronauts from among experienced Air Force pilots, but the president and the director have recommended you, I don't know why, in my opinion you are not as good as my grandmother who participated in the Boy Scouts, but since this is a NASA decision, I can only obey orders, so put away the half-dead expression on your faces.
"I'll be in charge of your future training, and if you're lucky, when the Apollo 10 astronauts come back, and they can recover to a good level in the rest of the time, you'll join the next mission as a substitute and support team, instead of going to space to die, okay, do you have any questions now?"
All the players are using this time to quickly digest the information they have just received, in fact, when they open their eyes and see what they are wearing, most of them have already guessed their identity, but the captain's words explain their situation more clearly.
Everyone is a little confused now, most of them have experienced a lot of game copies, and it stands to reason that they are also used to seeing strong winds and waves, and have dealt with all kinds of tricky situations, but it is the first time that you have been notified that you are going to the moon as soon as you come up.
Before entering the dungeon, all the players thought that they were mentally prepared, but no one was really prepared for such a thing as flying out of the atmosphere, and everyone looked at each other, but what they saw in each other's eyes was more apprehensive than when they boarded the multi-axis trainer.
