The candidates who are technical experts have also been addicted to flying several times, although even if they are selected as astronauts, they cannot be assigned to the position of spacecraft pilot, but they still touch the plane like a curious baby, and under the supervision of the official pilot, they pull the control stick with their own hands and shout that they will fly out of the S shape for a while, and fly out of the B type for a while.

It's really hard for these people who are not even rookies to be qualified to fly with such a difficult maneuver attitude.

At best, it was only a few seconds, and in fact, the difficulty coefficient of the plane was not much higher than that of a car, but it already made them excited.

In this life, I can still fly a plane, even if I can't choose an astronaut, it's enough to go back and have enough words to talk about it.

The pilots had a few days of enjoying the wind every day, and they were still coming, and no one could stop Major General Sun's exit order.

Major General Sun brought the fourth-round elimination list to call up the remaining 21 candidates after three rounds of elimination.

"No. 9, No. 21, No. 34, No. 42, No. 49, No. 51, No. 55, a total of seven people, please click on the comrades with the code name! You have 24 hours to organize your personal belongings, transfer vehicles and airfares, and we've got you covered. ”

Major General Sun was particularly ruthless at this moment.

There are fourteen left!

Not only did the seven people who were out of the game show a relieved look on their faces, but the other fourteen people also looked relieved, not to be out, or to stay, at least after this round of the list came out, it no longer made their nerves tense.

This round of elimination is not as brutal as in previous rounds, which eliminated more than a dozen people at every turn, and only one-third of them were eliminated.

However, it can be seen that the further you go, the closer your real qualities will be, unlike at the beginning when there will be a big gap.

Lin Mo and Meng Yinan exchanged glances, and both of them were lucky to stay.

The high stakes of space flight are destined to exclude a large number of people, and this ticket is not so easy to get, and those who receive it may not be able to sit back and relax.

At this time, the eliminated people are also not necessarily regretful, perhaps lucky.

The people who were called to their code names still stood up in a bit of frustration and formed a separate column, but at this time their psychological endurance was quite strong.

To be able to come here is not only as simple as being eliminated by harsh standards, but also to train and train these candidates in the aerospace profession.

Since the end of the third round, the space training center has strengthened the training of psychological quality, so that the eliminated people will no longer show aggrieved expressions and even shed tears of loss as they did at the beginning.

As seven people stood out of the queue, there was silence.

Although no one took the lead in the remaining fourteen people, as if they had made an appointment, they hugged and said goodbye to these seven people in turn, whispered a few words of comfort, and then lined up again.

Although there is some reluctance, the space training center is the space training center, and their selection criteria have been tested countless times, just like sand in the eyes.

Like the aerospace industry, it is precise, demanding, does not tolerate the slightest ambiguity, and never tolerates any mistakes.

The fourteen candidates who stayed behind are not happy now.

They will also face a final round of elimination, and only the top 10 will be eligible to stay and become official astronauts.

Even so, there is still the possibility of astronauts boarding on a cold board, perhaps insisting on training for more than ten years, and in the end they have not even touched the edge of space, and they have spent the entire best space life cycle in vain.

Every time it takes off, the country not only needs to pay a huge price, but as an astronaut, it is not the same as paying such a huge sacrifice.

Behind every glamorous aerospace hero, there will always be a group of obscure "cold benches".

Therefore, the candidates who are not out of the competition only have more and more solemn looks on their faces without any joy, and it is necessary to have a normal heart that does not move the eight winds.

The psychological quality of astronauts, even if an aerospace plane or rocket explodes, will not frown, I am afraid that they are the only people who can keep calm in the world even if they enter the law field and eat guns.

"This is the bitterness and tears of every generation of astronauts!"

Seeing the backs of the seven candidates disappear from sight, Major General Sun Huabin is not very comfortable in his heart, every session is like this, everyone has been together for a long time, and there will always be some feelings.

Alas! There are also cold benches, those astronauts who have wasted their youth, who knows their bitterness.

The selection of astronauts is ruthless at this moment, and the road to heaven is destined to be a thorny road full of ups and downs.

Major General Sun's gaze glanced at the remaining fourteen candidates, and there was a hint of invisible pressure in his tone.

"There are fourteen people left, four of you will be eliminated in the final round of elimination, the space center only needs ten people, the best ten!"

"I need you to go all out in the last round of training, play your best, don't have any hands, here is the first competition, friendship second, you must do your best, there is no second opportunity, never give up this precious opportunity easily, here, I also want to remind everyone that the assessment score is not necessarily absolute, elimination is screened from multiple angles, there are artificial, there is also providence, luck is also a kind of strength."

"The last thing I want to say to everyone is that even if you are out, you can get this far, you are all good! They're all heroes!"

The fourteen candidates looked at Major General Sun with blazing eyes and excitement, and they could all empathize with the great expectations placed on them by Major General Sun-

"Penglai, now start to enter the 30-minute preparation!"

The fourteen candidates were divided into two groups of seven people, and their final round of training was to conduct simulated space flight training.

The simulator is completely realistic, but considering future upgrades, it is only assembled with a combined steel frame, and the overall look is a bit like an unfinished space shuttle.

The simulated spacesuits worn by the candidates are the same as the real ones, but there are countless electromagnets buried on the surface of the clothes, and in order to make the simulation process as realistic as possible, it can not only form opposite-sex attraction with the external magnetic field, simulate overload pressure, but also form a same-sex repulsion simulated low-gravity environment.

But the shortcomings are not nothing.,If the magnetic field reaction between the two is not switched well.,Well,It's bad.,It's either a base or a hooligan.。

Seven candidates began to enter the cockpit, and the real cockpit was almost identical, and even the feedback from a single small button was indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Prepare to fill in!"

"Fuel is refilled in twenty minutes! Oxygen supplementation begins. ”

Through the radio, a series of commands from the simulated launch center were heard, and according to the real situation, refueling and charging would usually begin two hours in advance, and one after another would be carefully checked.

Only 30 minutes before the launch, the astronauts will enter the post, so as the first group, Lin Mo and they also strictly follow the real process.

The cockpit of the simulated space shuttle is vertical, so you can easily climb into it in normal times, but now because you are wearing a bloated space suit and there are no magnetic dots turned on, you have to spend a lot of effort to get into your seat.

When the last candidate entered, the outer sealed hatch was officially closed and locked from the inside.

Lin Mo is a little nostalgic for his "Dragon General" dual-purpose individual tactical armor, although it is flexible and can also provide action bonuses, but it is not very suitable for long-term survival in space.

In the first group, there are Lin Mo, No. 2 Wang Xuejun, No. 15 Lai Yaowu, No. 18 Meng Xuejun, No. 35 Qi Ping, No. 39 Zhao Yue and No. 53 Huang Baicheng.

The captain is Lin Mo, there is no doubt that he and Wang Xuejun are pilots.

No. 15 is responsible for the navigation system, No. 18 is responsible for the communication system, No. 35 and No. 53 are responsible for load control, and No. 39 is responsible for overseeing mission supervision.

The overall training will take four days, and they will eat, drink, bathe, and sleep in this fully enclosed simulated space shuttle for four full days, which involves not only take-off, landing, and controlling the state of the air, but also involves simulating space experiments.

Lin Mo sat in the pilot's position and shook the joystick, which is basically the same as a fighter jet, but the auxiliary functions are more complex, unlike a fighter flying in the stable troposphere and stratosphere, the space shuttle needs to completely cross the entire atmosphere, and the cold is nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius and the high temperature is 1200 degrees Celsius.

"On the 18th, confirm that the navigation system is normal."

"The self-test has been completed, and the satellite and ground positioning connection have been completed."

"Report No. 1, the communication system is connected normally, and the 'Penglai' and 17 communication nodes are connected in four channels in parallel."

This "Penglai" is the simulated space shuttle they are driving, the simulator entity is actually a spinning cone, and the computer shows that the "Penglai" entity is a large triangle, the fuselage wing integration design, due to the pursuit of only speed and stability, not considering combat, such a design in a straight line flight and take-off and landing, has a very good performance, especially when returning from outer space through the atmosphere, you can rely on the aerodynamic layout to obtain enough buffer speed.

The candidates who enter each seat will start to bind themselves, which is very close to the real flight training, and the simulated spacesuit can simulate the maximum overload force of 10 g, which can perfectly simulate the overload force of the Shenzhou spacecraft (4-5g overload in lift-off, 3.24g in return).

Now technological advances make it possible to control the overload force, unlike the previous return voyage without an ascent power unit which could reach a maximum overload of 12g.

To be able to do this is already very valuable.
