Chapter 14 Selection of the scientific expedition team
Not only scientists, but also ordinary people are more enthusiastic about Mars than Yu Yifeng imagined, and as soon as the news was released, it won tens of thousands of enthusiastic responses, and the government had to formulate a special screening process......
Special forces member Zhao Yao and a group of young men are training frantically in the training room. Military personnel are not ordinary people and do not need to participate in this selection process.
After all, the army has a class and has a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and there is no need for democracy and equality. However, because of the special relationship of this scientific expedition, there is no enemy, and there is no particularly great danger, and the recruits will be the main body participating in this mission.
In the past few months, the state security department has recruited more than 200 recruits, and with the addition of the original personnel, the number of soldiers in the entire spacecraft has reached 300. The original veteran rank has been increased by one level.
As a member of the veterans, Zhao Yao also became one of the captains, and his rank was promoted by one level to become a captain. He was responsible for the training of twenty recruits, which was actually equivalent to the level of a squad.
In general, their training environment is mostly concentrated in the high-gravity area below the ship. Physical training in high gravity zones is very effective.
Recently, however, they moved to a medium gravity zone in order to adapt to the Martian environment. This is to adapt to the gravitational force of Mars in advance, because the gravitational pull of Mars is only about one-third of that of Earth, which is still a bit different.
The army was given a total of 30 landing places during the expedition. And Zhao Yao is the main commander of this operation, and all the soldiers who landed have to listen to him.
Don't look at him as unreliable as usual, that's because there are more awesome people like Yu Yifeng and Xu Yunjin. However, in Huaxia at that time, which one could really be selected for the first special forces in Huaxia would be unreliable? Zhao Yao is a veteran who has had many dangerous missions.
In the training room, the recruits are training their guns or hand-to-hand combat. Zhao Yao sometimes has itchy hands, and he will also go up to teach the recruits a lesson, and he can win with one against three or one from four, hey, these recruits are too weak for him. If he really wants to fight to the death, he can completely kill the entire squad by himself, which is completely a gap in combat experience and physical fitness.
Among the 30 places, he was the only one who was originally a special team member. There are also three former security guards, who are also veterans and have a little experience, and the remaining 26 are all new recruits.
"All of them! Gather! As soon as the time came, Zhao Yao shouted loudly. Hula-la, all the recruits ran to assemble in front of him, standing upright and standing.
"Take a break!"
There was another sound of small broken steps, and after this period of training, these recruits finally had good discipline. There is no discipline without a circle, and Zhao Yao is still quite satisfied with these recruits.
"It's been two months, and time flies." He thought in his heart that since he became the captain of the team, he also had to take the corresponding responsibilities, and the task was really much heavier.
"I am here to announce a news, wait a while, our ten recruit brigades, to carry out a ranking competition for the comprehensive quality of recruits, the competition items are: shooting, fighting, medical treatment, physical fitness, psychological quality, environmental adaptability assessment and other six items.
Only the twenty-six recruits with the highest grades will be able to go to Mars with me! I don't want my class to fall behind, so I'm going to give me the strength to breastfeed, understand? ”
"Got it!" Everyone replied in unison. Their eyes flashed with excitement and excitement, but they all restrained themselves.
These recruits are still very high-spirited, Zhao Yao nodded with satisfaction......
Not only the soldiers were puffed up, but also among the people, because there were so many people who wanted to participate in this scientific expedition. The government has to select candidates with professional skills or very high overall ability.
"You must know that the purpose of this operation is a scientific expedition, not a tour, and the time is one to two months. If you don't have a skill, don't submit your resume! Mars exploration is also dangerous! ”
"Attention, this is not a tour, but a scientific expedition, and it is a dangerous ......"
At the volunteer registration point, a slightly chubby man was shouting with a loudspeaker. However, there are still many people who submit resumes with a fluke mentality.
The quota of scientists, soldiers, and doctors has been set, and the rest of the ordinary people need to be screened, and there are only one or two hundred people.
The leaders of the geology group, the medical group, the biology group, and the engineering group are constantly reviewing this part of the resume, and their selection requirements are very strict, whether it is professional level or physical fitness, once one of them fails, they will be killed.
After the resume is selected, there will be an interview, and finally the two hundred people will be selected, no matter how strict it is.
"Zhao, I heard that there will be a level 12 wind on Mars, which is very dangerous!" A tall white girl was pulling her boyfriend and said with a worried look on her face.
This young man is Zhao Chao, that is, Wang Zhiyuan's roommate, the one who drank together.
He finally found a girlfriend, who is still Russian, and he wants to be in shape and appearance, not to mention how cool it is during this time......
"Alas...... Victoria, don't listen to their nonsense, Mars has only one percent of the air pressure on Earth, and even a force 12 gale is not powerful. Zhao Chao said indifferently, he had already understood.
He is filling in the volunteer, and wrote his various resumes on it, Qingbei University, geological engineering, master's degree, and other academic certificates such as construction engineers and mechanical engineers, plus excellent physical fitness inspection reports, the conditions are relatively good, and they should be able to get ranked.
"However, the book says that there will be a big storm on Mars at any time...... Victoria was still a little worried, and took out a novel - "Mission to Mars".
"Hehe, that's a novel, it's part fiction, and it can't be taken seriously." After filling in the volunteer, Zhao Chao checked it again, and then handed it in directly.
He grinned and said, "If there is really a strong wind, that kind of force will not be able to blow us away." Otherwise, scientists would certainly prompt us. Don't worry, Captain Yu Yifeng won't let us die. ”
"Really?" Victoria blinked, "Then I'm going to sign up too!" ”
……
The action and organizational skills of the new human government are very high. After the two-day screening was officially over, the spacecraft also happened to float to the North Pole, about 1,000 kilometers above the ground, and then the spacecraft began to levitate in the air, drifting with the wind.
Because this planet is likely to be the foothold in the next few years, it is impossible to be too cautious, and scientists have done a lot of research with experimental instruments in advance, and there are no particularly unusual findings.
Five hundred personnel, including engineers, doctors, nurses, soldiers, journalists, and many more scientists, were ready to line up in front of the Victory spacecraft.
Under everyone's gaze, Yu Yifeng said of encouragement: "Comrades, you are 500 elites carefully selected from 50,000 people, with professional qualities and skills. I won't say much else, but I'll repeat your task here. ”
"First, build a small base that humans can live in."
"Second, get a detailed geological report of the Arctic Circle."
"Third, to investigate whether life on Mars really exists."
"Fourth...... Please ensure your respective personal safety.
Okay, that's all I have to say, let's go! I wish you all a successful return in advance! ”
"Victory!" Five hundred people made a V-shaped gesture and posed for a group photo. Immediately after, they put on their spacesuits and walked into the Victory one by one.
Due to the lack of carrying capacity, the Victory may have to make two or three trips back and forth in order to carry a large number of daily necessities and machinery and equipment.
If Noah had flown a little lower, it would have been able to use space ropes to hang things down, but now at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers, there is almost no such possibility.
Yu Yifeng's heart moved, maybe he could study the short-distance transportation facilities with a huge carrying capacity, which would be much more convenient......
Mars has an average temperature of -63 degrees Celsius, a thin and cold atmosphere on the surface, and two moons. For the sister planet of the Earth, the topic of "whether there is life on Mars" has always been the focus of attention.
In 2000, a Martian meteorite was discovered in Antarctica, and NASA claimed to have found some microfossilized structures on this meteorite, which some believe may be evidence of life.
But some believe that this is just naturally occurring mineral crystals. Until 2004, neither side of the argument had the upper hand.
The Mars rover Viking has done an experiment to find out if there are microorganisms in the Martian soil. The experiment was limited to the landing site of the Viking and gave a positive result, but subsequently, that is, it was denied by many scientists, which is again debatable......
Extant biological activity is also one of the explanations for the presence of trace amounts of methane in the Martian atmosphere, but in general, people agree with other explanations that are not related to life.
Is there material on Mars that is suitable for life? This has always been a mystery that mankind has tried to unravel. To this question, scientists gave a positive answer to this question after 7 months of exploration by the Curiosity rover. NASA has announced that the analysis of Martian bedrock samples by the Curiosity rover has shown that the ancient Martian environment was indeed suitable for life.
However, "fit" does not necessarily "exist". Life on Mars has never been discovered......
The answer is about to be revealed in the hands of the expedition members.
(PS: Thank you for your recommendations, favorites, and tips over the past week.)
I've always been asked if I'm a eunuch or something, and I'm going to focus on answering them now.
As for this book, the first 110,000 words were very poor, and it took more than two months to conceive and write about 20 days, and there were only nine collections at that time. Nine of them, everyone knows, among these nine collections, there are several pirated websites, a few are editors, and a few are robot automatic collections, and I don't know if there are any real readers.
As for the referral ticket, there is no ...... Am I going to say that it's all my own vote? By the way, there is a friend in QQ Bookstore who often recommends it, and I don't know how he found this book, he may be my only reader.
At that time, I still insisted on writing on a single machine for a month, and I still didn't get through it?
By now, I have more than 400 readers, nearly 500 readers, and people often give me encouragement, rewards, and recommendations, but if I am a eunuch, it will hurt my character too much, generally speaking, no. (At least I wrote it myself, hahaha.) )
Here's a little story.,The editor of the starting point gave me a test push last week.,Generally speaking,Collections that rise more than 300 are considered qualified.。 But the first day has passed, and I have only increased by 26 collections (T^T), which is less than two hundred a week, which is the rhythm of being beaten into the cold palace.
If you enter the cold palace, there will be no follow-up recommendations, so you will be drowned in the vast sea of books.
So, I had to be cheeky and go to the booklist area to advertise, I didn't want to hit the street...... Ladies and gentlemen, some of the advertisements were made by myself, please forgive me, I'm really sorry. (This week's results were okay, and now I've changed my mind and don't advertise...... )
Thank you very much for Poyang Lake, Jingqi Xiang, Brother Prostitution, and Sanqingfeng, I won't say them one by one, I am very grateful to you for giving me a chance to put on the book list. Without you, I'd definitely be on the streets, and I'm really grateful.
Interstellar civilization novels are still too niche, and I know that. After so many years of starting, there are only seven such fine books, only seven, which is really too few.
It can be seen from the number of clicks,Marvel、Doomsday、Infinite streaming, etc. are still popular,After being recommended on the web page,Clicks are thousands、Tens of thousands,But my book has not been clicked 1,000 times now (web version),There are still too few people to see it。 If you like this book, I hope to promote it more so that more people can discover it, and the author is very grateful. )
