Chapter 5: Strange Interference
The last exam was the simulated control of the space cockpit, and the rest of the exams were almost over, and Ilul went in to report and immediately prepared for the exam.
"No. 100, Honey, scored 79.23 points at the end." A young and vigorous boy walked out of the simulator and waved his hand around on his toes, and there was a very enthusiastic applause from the field, and although Honey's number was quite low, he scored by far the highest. Luer couldn't help but get nervous, the next group, it's her turn.
"In the last group, No. 101 player Simi, No. 102 player Ye, and No. 16 Iluer have been adjusted to the current exam because the C liquid test took a little longer."
When her name appeared on the screen, the contestants who had already finished the match couldn't help but turn their heads into each other's ears.
"I heard that she just stayed in the closed cabin for two hours, and there was nothing at all." One of the contestants whispered to his companion.
"Is there something wrong with the Holy Spring in her cabin?" Another player was skeptical.
"Just kidding! If it weren't for the Holy Spring, soaking people with other liquids for so long, wouldn't they have drowned long ago? ”
As soon as the beep sounded, Luer, along with the other two players, entered the entrance at the bottom of the side of the ship, and from the 38 cabins of various sizes, the three of them quickly found the cockpit and got in. This was the first time she had been inside a real spaceship, and the simulation cabin in her previous training could not be compared to the weather-beaten real guy in front of her. Due to the high speed of sub-light flight, the cockpit is traditionally located in the middle of the spacecraft for safety reasons, and the image in front of the spacecraft is transmitted to the screen through a signal.
The capsule has a gravity-like system, the spacesuit is no longer bulky and bulky as it was in the early days, and the thin and light material can withstand extreme temperature and pressure environments. Lull sat down in the cockpit. According to the content of the exam, she has to make a series of flight commands on her own according to the simulated space environment within fifteen minutes, which requires both accurate and agile judgment and good technical execution.
This time, the three of them were flying in orbit on the first planet, and the star suddenly erupted in flames, requiring an emergency quarter-speed of light jump to sub-light speed. As stars enter their active cycles, uncertainties can occur at any time. According to the usual training, Luer methodically changes the flight mode and carries out a safe energy level conversion.
Now that the overdrive was in a state of preparation, suddenly, there was a faint buzzing sound in the eardrums, wave after wave, which made Luer suddenly vigilant. She hesitated for only half a second, then decisively canceled the jump. The parameters of the power plant were called up, but nothing unusual was found; Then the temperature and pressure control system was mobilized, and everything was still normal.
Looking back, although Simi next to her was a little slower than her just now, he was now ready to jump. And No. 102's Ye was also nervously preparing, and neither of them felt anything unusual in their expressions.
Luer's palms were sweaty, damn it, what the hell was the problem. Suddenly, the humming quietly stopped again. Lul breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared to jump, but the mysterious noise reappeared three seconds later, this time even more, shaking her eardrums a little. looked at the two players next to him, but they were not affected at all; If it weren't for the exam discipline, she would have wanted to ask them if they hadn't heard anything out of the ordinary.
"One last reminder, there are still three minutes left before the end of the exam, please prepare for the jump yet." The cockpit sounded the cold chime of the machine.
"Smart Center, I heard the interference noise twice, is there something wrong with my device?" Lul pressed the red light.
"No distractions, please concentrate on the exam, repeat again, no distractions." The Smart Center answers.
Do you ignore it or do you have the patience to find out why? The clock is ticking. Ignoring her anxiety, Ilul turned off the jump preparations once more, carefully searching for anomalies, and finally found that several high-energy rays were measured on the space monitoring parameters at the end of the spacecraft at the edge of the normal range.
Although Ilul wasn't sure what it was, the end of the ship must be in a dangerous high-energy area right now, and if you jump rashly, too much energy could erupt. She quickly deflected the spaceship away from the area, and at this time, there were only 3 minutes and 40 seconds left, and at this time, Simi and Ye's control computers had already prompted that the jump was complete, and the two of them patted their butts and got up and left after completing the operation. Lull bit her lower lip nervously, and finally chose a less than ideal but safe orbital point to prepare for the jump.
Due to some deviation from the orbit, the mode showed that the ship was shaking very much, and with only ten seconds left, the jump was finally narrowly completed.
It worked! Luer wiped the sweat from his face, and when he got up, he found that his lower lip had bitten and was about to bleed from the tension just now, and now he felt pain. Luer frowned and rubbed her lips with the back of her hand, damn, it really hurts, and she has to get rid of this bad habit in the future.
Lull stepped out of the cockpit and, guided by the staff, into an adjoining cabin. All students who have completed the exam will receive a brief review and Q&A here.
didn't wait for her to sit down, some judges couldn't hold back, and asked the doubts in many people's hearts: "Why did you refuse to jump just now?" Turn it off again and again? ”
"I said, I hear noise interference."
"Interference?" All the judges looked at each other, is there such a thing?
Lull understood a terrible truth from everyone's expressions, and it seemed that she was the only one who heard the noise.
"All the equipment has been debugged several times, where does the interference come from?"
"But I heard it." Ilul insisted.
"You go check it out." An old expert said to a tall, slender man in his thirties sitting at the edge of the judges' bench, and Luer recognized him as the technician just now.
"Checked twice and found no problems." Ten minutes later, the technician came in to report, shattering Luel's last bit of hope.
Another judge stood up and said, "Yiluer, judging from your results in liquid C immersion just now, maybe you are really talented." However, aerospace control is still a very complicated subject, and it doesn't matter if you are not familiar with the operation, I hope you will have good grades next time. Okay, let's go out and wait for the score. ”
Luer was about to explain that the judges had already left their seats, but she sighed and walked out of the judges' room.
Under the big screen, all the candidates gathered here, crowded, and everyone's expression was so uneasy.
In a tense wait, Ilul finally had the words that would decide her fate.
"No. 16, Ilul, physical fitness test + written test, 85 points; Practical test, 25 points; Liquid C test, full marks. ”
No. 17, Carr, physical fitness test + written test, 85 points; Practical test, 80 points; C liquid test, qualified.
No. 18, Gardet, physical fitness test + written test, 50 points; Practical test, 50 points; C liquid test, unqualified.
No. 19, Gardet, physical fitness test + written test, 65 points; Practical test, 60 points; C liquid test, unqualified.
No. 20, Gardet, physical fitness test + written test, 70 points; Practical test, 65 points; C liquid test, unqualified. ”
"Players from 16 to 20, Karl."
Ilul looked at the big screen in a daze, her heart was blank for more than ten seconds, and a rush of blood suddenly rushed to her heart. Luer turned his head and ran out of the field, and the crowd sighed.
A handsome blue shadow on the lookout quickly flashed and vanished.
"Timmer," Mia found Timmer breathlessly.
"Dad!" Timmer was happily gearing up: "Dad, it's time for me to turn 5 more------- how is my sister's side?" ”
"Your sister....... alas!" Mia wanted to speak and stopped. Timmer is about to play, and he can't be distracted. But how can I have the strength to chase Luer? I just hope something doesn't happen to her......
