Chapter Eighty-Six: Progress of Training

IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) Pacific Base, Institute of Aerospace Studies, Astronaut Training Center.

"God, I don't like the games in this playground." Durunik, who had just stepped down from the "high-speed rotating electric chair" to train his ability to resist vertigo, was holding back his bitter water.

It seems that the astronaut training course in the past few days has not been as pleasant as Trunik imagined.

In his opinion, the astronaut training center seems to be trying all kinds of ways to "torture" astronauts.

Yuan Haochen was sitting in an electric chair blindfolded with an eye mask at this time, and other astronauts participating in the training were sitting on several other electric chairs next to him.

These electric chairs are spinning at a rate of 30-40 revolutions per minute, and many astronauts are already pale and sweating.

1 minute, 2 minutes...... Time passes slowly, and they have to hold on for more than 5 minutes to be considered qualified.

Astronauts flying into space are not as comfortable as flying in an airplane, and in space flight, spacecraft often move forward at a whirlwind.

Therefore, every astronaut has to pass the test of this project.

After 10 minutes, Yuan Haochen pressed the stop button at hand, waited until the rotation stopped, and calmly stepped off the high-speed rotating electric chair.

"Yankee, you're such a pervert." Durunik shook his head and began to complain.

In addition to the "high-speed rotating electric chair", Trunik and Yuan Haochen also have to go through many other training programs.

For example, it can swing out a 20-meter "electric swing" in front and back. This kind of swing periodically sends people's blood to the brain for a while, and throws it on the lower limbs for a while. People who have not undergone special training may squirt out gastric juice at once!

In the test of the "low-pressure cabin", as soon as the astronauts enter the cabin, they quickly rise to an altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level at a speed equivalent to 15 meters per second, and they cannot wear oxygen masks. At this time, the astronaut was already panting in the cabin, chest tightness, headache, nausea. Immediately after that, it continued to rise to 6,000 meters, 7,000 meters...... It is necessary to reach a low pressure level of 10,000 meters to wear an oxygen mask. After 30 minutes of training, the astronauts are like experiencing a test of life and death!

In addition, there are other training programs such as "universal bed", "lonely isolation cabin", "morning dusk upside down", "multi-angle sleep posture", "gravityless drifting" and other tricks to death.

"Let's go, Durunik, let's rest." Yuan Haochen wiped his face with a wet towel and said to Durunik.

"Okay, I'm pretty much done training today. Let's go sit down with Dr. Lily. Durunik also felt that it was time to take a break in a different place.

"Well, okay." Yuan Haochen thought that he could ask Dr. Lily about the progress of the preparations of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, so he happily agreed.

Fifteen minutes later, Durunik and Hara arrived at Dr. Lily's office.

"It's a good time for you two to come, I'll be off work for dinner later." Dr. Lily looked at the two of them as she pulled her long hair back to reveal her white neck.

"That's such a coincidence, why don't we go to the restaurant together, and I'll pay for it." Durunik's eyes lit up, and his face was full of smiles.

"Haha~ Durunik, you're a gentleman." Dr. Lily let out a whimsical laugh.

"These two people are here again," Yuan Haochen sighed in his heart.

Afterwards, the three of them arrived at the exclusive restaurant of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

"Well, yes, the steak in your institute's cafeteria is much better than that of the Astrophysics Research Institute." Durunik was eating and praising indiscriminately.

Although each institute has a special restaurant, the food arrangements of each restaurant are basically the same.

Moreover, all the restaurants in the base are open to all staff 24 hours a day free of charge, and even provide food delivery, fruit delivery, peanuts and melon seeds drinks and other snacks to the office.

So, Trunik's assertion that he pays for it, and that the steaks here taste better, is pure nonsense.

"How are you training these days?" Dr. Lily asked with interest.

"It went pretty well, the training center was a playground and we had a great time in it." Durunik glanced at Yuan Haochen and began to speak loudly again.

Yuan Haochen naturally would not expose his bear-like appearance when he sat in a high-speed rotating electric chair.

"I can't see it, Durunik's physical fitness is great!" Dr. Lily complimented incredulously.

"I'm nothing, you don't know how good this Chinese guy is. It only took three days to complete all the assessment items, and starting tomorrow, he will learn to fly a spaceship! Durunik gestured with his hands in a driving gesture and said with an exaggerated expression.

"Chinese boy, you're really not simple." Dr. Lily looked Hara up and down again.

"It's just more interesting." Yuan Haochen hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, about the Mars landing plan, how is the preparation of the Aerospace Research Institute?" ”

"In the past few days, our research institute is adjusting the new plan." Dr. Lily replied.

"What's new?" Trunik and Hara were clearly interested in the topic.

"The research institute is renovating the spaceship you are on this time, and the [Starship] will be equipped with some nuclear propulsion systems." Dr. Lily replied earnestly.

"Nuclear propulsion system, isn't this technology not yet fully mature?" Yuan Haochen asked suspiciously.

"Nuclear propulsion systems are not yet fully mature, but they are not as unstable as you think." Dr. Lily blinked and continued, "Moreover, this time it is only partially equipped, and the safety performance is very high."

"I see!" After listening to Dr. Lily's detailed introduction, Hara and Durunik finally figured out the latest plan.

"So, we have a chance to experience the power of nuclear propulsion." Durunike had an excited look on his face.

"Beware of letting a nuke burn your boy's ass!" Dr. Lily sarcastically looked at Durunik's arrogant expression.
