Chapter 24: Apollo Program Training Camp
Although the Chinese New Year is still two weeks away, the bar has already begun to warm up in advance, and New Year's decorations have begun to be hung on the windows and walls.
In the lounge on the second floor, Miss Bartender also placed a small ornament to celebrate the New Year on the bar, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Lucky dog?" ”
"Year of the Dog, follow the customs."
Miss bartender was chewing gum while still tinkering with her New Year's special.
Today is the first day of February, the lounge looks empty, and there will be very few people in the first half of the month, because the dungeons drawn are random, so players are as nervous as a closed-book final exam every time they get a dungeon, and of course everyone is willing to spend more time on revision, so the end of the month is often the peak period for foot traffic.
But Zhang Heng had already started his winter vacation last month, and it would be until the beginning of next month, he had already booked a ticket home in advance, and he would leave in a few days, although he could also find other game spots in his hometown city to play, but after all, he was not as familiar as Sex and the City, and he also needed to erase some traces of his ten years of pirate life on him in the dungeon.
Therefore, Zhang Heng decided to use up the number of games this month in advance, but in this case, his plan to return to the previous dungeon would have to be postponed for some time.
"Happy New Year." Zhang Heng came to the booth, set the alarm clock with a light car, and put it on his chest.
"Happy New Year and a great trip." Miss bartender didn't look up and threw the dry ice on the clip into the cocktail glass, and soon, soon white smoke filled the rim.
About a quarter of an hour later, when the time set on the alarm clock was reached, the familiar dizziness appeared in Zhang Heng's head again, and at the same time, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
【Player Identity Verification......

"Why, why the moon? Why did you choose there as a target? Naturally, they also ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, we had to fly over the Atlantic? …… We choose to go to the moon! We chose to go to the moon and achieve other goals in this decade, not because they were simple, but because they were tough. Because this goal will make us do everything we can to organize and measure our abilities and skills. Because this challenge is exactly what we are willing to accept, what we are not willing to postpone, and what we must win. ”

…………
This time the copy information is unprecedentedly sufficient, no way, the main thing is that the Apollo program is too famous, when he first heard about the Mannerheim Line and New Providence, Zhang Heng was stunned for a long time before reacting, after all, the Soviet-Finnish War and Nassau pirates are very unfamiliar to most people, but the Apollo program is almost unknown to everyone.
As the first human to go to the moon, Armstrong has written his name in the history of world astronautics along with human ambitions, and is known along with Gagarin, the first cosmonaut to go into space.
Despite its complex political and historical background, it is undeniable that the space race has played a significant role in the development of human technology and our exploration of space, and since then, many technologies have been transferred from the initial military to civilian use, and artificial satellites have changed everyone's lives.
More importantly, this history also shows the fearless courage and never-ending spirit of exploration, and also inspired China and India to join the team of space exploration, and the excerpt in the background of the copy is an excerpt from Kennedy's famous speech on the moon in 1962.
But Zhang Heng's attention is not on this for the time being, but on the four words of single-player competition in the mission mode later.
Unlike the vast majority of players who prefer to play in teams, all of Zhang Heng's dungeons have been single-row so far, but in the previous four-round games, there was only one player in the huge dungeons, and there was only one single player in the mission mode.
And now with the addition of competition, does that mean that he will also encounter another player for the first time in this quest?
The five-second preparation time was very short, and Zhang Heng didn't have time to think too much about the problem, and the game began.
The first thing that caught his eye was a white light, a little dazzling, Zhang Heng looked away from the spotlight above his head, and noticed that he was standing in a sealed building, and next to him were six people in blue uniforms like him.
Zhang Heng looked down and saw the NASA logo on his left chest, and on his right chest was his black identity badge with a name written in English.
- David.
Zhang Heng is not surprised, the organizing committee has been doing a good job of protecting the privacy of players, and there will inevitably be some processing of the name in the copy where other players appear, and if nothing else, his appearance should also be corrected to a certain extent, but now he does not have a mirror at hand, so he can't confirm this.
In addition, Zhang Heng could feel that his body was basically the same as before, and there had not changed much in terms of strength and agility, which was good news.
Zhang Heng didn't have time to observe the other players around him for the time being, because now his attention was attracted by the huge and strange instrument in front of him.
The Multi-Axis Trainer Facility, which is designed to simulate the fact that all three axes can be rotated at will, is a training ritual to help you familiarize yourself with what to expect in space, once the driver sits on it, it will start to spin wildly, if you don't understand it, imagine yourself as a cat, and then be thrown into a high-speed rotating drum washing machine. Your job is to stabilize the apparatus before you pass out. On the other side, a man who also looked like an instructor in a blue uniform paused, then his eyes swept over the seven trainees in front of him.
"The first victim, Anderson."
When the seven people present heard this, they all looked down at the ID card on their chests again, and as a result, the face of a fat man with Anderson written on it changed.
"Isn't it, it's so ruthless when it comes up, what the hell is this, doesn't it even have an operating instruction?"
