The next day, at 0550 hours, Wang Ping'an and Angli arrived at the briefing room.

"The Green Grass by the House" is playing on the spaceship's radio.

The briefing room was already full, after all, it was the norm to arrive early at the mission location in the Joint Space Force.

As soon as the two of them floated in, some of the people present shouted: "Yo, isn't this a scourge, you actually arrived early, and we think we must be late!" ”

Wang Ping'an: "Pull it down, Qin Qiong, don't talk like I'm always late, I'll rush to the line every time, okay!" ”

"Yes, yes, your work on the line is good, every time you come in with the front foot, there is a commander with a blue face behind you."

At this time, Qin Qiong, who was speaking, was stabbed in the shoulder by the person next to him, and turned back suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

"Look around him!"

"I saw it! What's so strange about this, it's the king's scourge, why do you think he's called a scourge? There are always beautiful girls around him. Come, scourge, everyone is curious, you can introduce it! ”

Wang Ping'an looked back at Angli, and began to introduce matter-of-factly: "Let me introduce, this is my oil bottle Angli, a Frenchman." ”

"Drag the oil bottle?" Angli repeated puzzledly, "Isn't this a word used to describe a remarried woman with a child?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "Then let me change the word, this is my burden......"

At this time, the astronauts, who had just been sitting in various positions, all switched to the standard sitting position, holding their heads high.

Wang Ping'an immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw a serious uncle carrying the major's shoulder tag floating in.

Angli floated directly to the empty seat, and Wang Ping'an greeted the major with an old god: "Morning, Major Li." ”

"Why don't you go back to your position?"

Wang Ping'an: "Isn't this a few minutes before the meeting time?" ”

Major Li snorted: "You actually arrived early, it seems that the result of the supercomputer is correct, Second Lieutenant Angli is your partner...... How many days is it? ”

Wang Ping'an: "The third day. ”

"Ah, on the third day, you will be able to get to the meeting point early. If you continue to do so, the future is promising. ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Really? Major, be prepared to salute me one day. ”

Major Li: "I sometimes really wonder if you left you behind to highlight that the Space Force is not a hierarchical and authoritarian organization. ”

"Absolutely!" Someone shouted.

Major Li shouted: "Quiet! ”

At this moment, Angli grabbed the small table in front of her position with one hand, grabbed Wang Ping'an's sleeve with the other, and dragged him back to her seat.

Major Li saw that Wang Ping'an had also returned to his position, snorted, and ordered: "Talk about it." ”

Qin Qiong: "Stand up!" ”

The astronauts all stood up and maintained a standard military posture.

This is possible because of the faint magnetic force on the bottom of the shoes worn on the spaceship.

Major Lee: "Take a break. ”

Everyone sat down in unison, and there was only the sound of butts hitting the stool.

Angli looked at Wang Ping'an quietly, as if surprised that he could complete this set of actions meticulously.

Major Lee: "You have all completed a three-month vacation on Earth, and you have not been hit by a car, involved in a brawl or other commotion, or sick from alcohol or other reasons.

"You've done a great job protecting the assets of the Combined Space Force, protecting yourself that the Combined Space Force has spent millions of dollars to cultivate, and you've done a great job.

"You're going to undergo a one-flight recovery training to get used to life in space again. I don't like the kind of training that swallows warm water, so today we're going to go straight to the spacewalk.

"Of course, I don't think it's enough to just walk a spacewalk, so this time it's a spacewalk race. You start from the stern of the ship, the P14 maintenance airlock of the tritium reflex engine, and climb all the way to the bow A1 airlock.

"You can choose your own path, which is a good test of your familiarity with the ship. But remember, the ship is accelerating at 13 milligag, and if you get out of contact with the ship, you'll soon be left behind.

"If you're just left behind, there might be someone who can rescue you. But if you get caught up in the jet wake of the ship, you'll be turned into powder in an instant.

"You'll be carrying a standard loadload, including a spacesuit and all life-support accessories, a standard maintenance mission kit, a standard water and energy food pack, and a Type 56 space rifle and a base of ammunition.

"What's the problem?"

Wang Ping'an raised his hand: "Why do you want to bring a space rifle?" Pirates in the distant asteroid belt. ”

Major: "Because I want you to carry it a little heavier." No other questions, right? Alright, let's do it! ”

**

Some people who have never been to the universe will subconsciously think that spacewalking in a weightless environment is an easy thing.

However, this is not the case at all.

Although there is no gravity, the mass has not disappeared, and the creeper who uses his hands and feet in space still has to work.

In addition to your own body weight, you should also carry a weight that is 1.5 times your body weight. All the astronauts had run weight-bearing cross-country training on the ground, and the equipment was much lighter back then than it is now.

Not to mention anything else, that spacesuit alone is enough to weigh dozens of kilograms.

Now there are lighter spacesuits with a protective layer so thin that they resemble ordinary clothing. In addition to being light and thin, the biggest feature of this spacesuit is that it is expensive.

So expensive that the Combined Space Force is not even considering equipping its astronauts with this new type of spacesuit.

The bulky spacesuit also has advantages, such as being sturdy, and it can even defend against bullets from old-fashioned powder rifles, and if you wear this thing and get hit by a small meteorite, as long as you don't get smashed and fly, you're generally fine.

This thing also has better defense against cosmic rays. There was a case in Sunland L2 where a lone star country in a new spacesuit encountered a space ray storm, and was directly burned off all the implants on his body, including the chip in his brain, and became an idiot.

But, to put it mildly, this thing is really heavy.

Wang Ping'an crawled outside for three hours, and he was so tired that he had to stop to rest. The two of them found a place on the backlit side of the ship, hung it with a safety rope, and floated next to the ship.

He'd finished drinking the water from his supply kit, and now he was drinking water from the spacesuit's sweat and urine that had been filtered through his sweat and urine, and it had a strange smell.

Wang Ping'an: "Damn, there is a problem with the filtration system of my spacesuit, and the water smells strange!" ”

Angli: "Drink some of mine for you?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "I'm not so perverted, drink your sweat and urine." ”

"But the water on the spaceship is also from the circulation system, you not only drank my sweat and urine, but also drank the ...... of Captain Qin Qiong"

Wang Ping'an: "Gross! ”

Angli smiled happily: "So you care about this kind of thing!" I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth! ”

Wang Ping'an: "I'm also a normal person, I will have my own likes and dislikes." ”

"Are you a normal person?"

"Yes, no doubt about it!" Wang Ping'an said categorically.

Angli: "Even if you are." I said, should we fight for the first place? ”

"Why are you fighting for that, you can't have dinner and dinner......"

"You can give Major Li a face." Angeli interrupted Wang Ping'an's complaint with a word.

Wang Ping'an: "...... Indeed, that's what happened. Makes sense! ”

"Do you have one of those shortcuts that aren't very compliant, but are closer?" Angri asked excitedly.

Wang Ping'an: "No. Actually, everybody is familiar with this kind of old spaceship - I mean, the relatively old ships must have chosen the shortest path, and in hindsight, everyone climbed the same path. ”

Angli: "Then let's cut down on the rest and climb faster!" ”

"Nope." Wang Ping'an grabbed Angri, who was about to start climbing, "Wait a minute." Our weight cannot be reduced, and the spacesuit cannot be dismantled, otherwise the water circulation will be thrown away. But it doesn't matter if something is thrown away. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the safety rope around his waist.

"You can only lose seven or eight kilograms if you throw it away, but we still have to climb for five hours, and this weight loss is enough to accumulate a huge advantage."

Through the helmet of the spacesuit, Wang Ping'an saw Angli open her mouth wide: "You...... Want to throw away the safety rope? ”

"Yes, let's just say that there was an accident and it fell, this kind of accident is very common, and it doesn't violate the rules set by the major if you lose it.

"Or are you scared?"

Angeli gritted her teeth: "Good! Throw it away. ”

**

"The accident so the safety rope fell, hmph, it fell." Major Li circled around Wang Ping'an and Angli, who were standing in a military posture, and the soles of his magnetic boots made a clattering sound on the steel deck.

Next to them, the astronauts who had completed the spacewalk stood in a row, and everyone looked like they were watching a good show, constantly peeking at Wang Ping'an.

Major Lee: "Who proposed that?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "What do you mean?" ”

Angli: "It was indeed an accident, I missed first, and then Lieutenant Wang lost the safety rope in order to save me." ”

Major Li glanced at Angli, his expression was very complicated, and he looked back at Wang Ping'an: "Amazing, foreign girls will cover for you." You can explain to me that you had an accident and completed a spacewalk in the shortest amount of time, how did you do it? ”

Wang Ping'an: "It shows that we have the determination to resolutely complete the task." ”

"How do you explain the lack of video recordings of the spacesuit?"

"We had an accident, the spacesuit collided, and it was damaged."

"That's what happened to break that part?"

"Because we carried out emergency repairs to the spacesuit after the accident!"

Major Li: "Yes, it's invulnerable." Fuck, if you don't make small moves, you're probably going to take the first place. I don't believe that the weight of throwing a safety rope can put you half an hour ahead of second place!

"Why are you not right?"

Wang Ping'an: "That...... You're going to discipline me? ”

Major Li was so angry that his mouth trembled, he forcibly calmed down his mood and asked, "Computer, what is the rating of this accident?" ”

"This accident is a Class D accident."

Major Li: "I can't punish you for a Class D accident. You're sure I know it, because you're a master at exploiting military loopholes! However, I can use my authority as your commander to put you in charge of the maintenance of the fecal circulation system, just ...... Five weeks! ”

Angli was shocked: "Do I want it too?" ”

The major hesitated: "No, you don't. But you are also at fault, you have to wipe the floor of the living area for a week! ”

Wang Ping'an: "This is not fair, I demand equality between men and women!" Otherwise, I will have to complain to the Women's Federation! ”

Major: "Then she'll wipe it for five weeks!" Just like you! Even if it's you, you wouldn't really let a girl maintain a stool pipe, would you? ”

Wang Ping'an: "That's true. ”

The major snorted and waved his big hand: "Tell me!" ”

Qin Qiong: "Lizheng!" ”

Major: "Take a break. Everyone did a good job in this training, including the one who 'had an accident'. But don't learn from him! Disband! ”

**

As soon as Wang Ping'an arrived at the dining hall, everyone laughed.

The other people from the training detachment shouted to Wang Ping'an: "Scourge, I heard that you stole books again, and you were hung up and beaten by Uncle Li." ”

Wang Ping'an: "Stealing books, stealing books is not stealing!" ”

Everyone laughed, and the air was filled with joy.

Angli: "What's that?" ”

"Has Kong Yiji seen it? We both learned it in middle school, and he used this to make fun of me. Wang Ping'an shrugged.

Angli: "Oh, that's right...... I'll look at this text later. ”

At this time, someone shouted: "Scourge! Let's have one, shall we? ”

Wang Ping'an turned his head to look, and just saw his sworn friend from the flight academy: "Okay!" Push it over! ”

The dead friend picked up the guitar placed on the table and pushed it gently, and the guitar floated towards Wang Ping'an.

Halfway through, a few people stretched out their hands to help the guitar correct its course, and the guitar was relayed to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an took the guitar, floated up to the "Stylistic Corner" in the corner of the dining hall, connected the common effect, and tried the sound.

Angeli floated in place, looking at it all in confusion.

Wang Ping'an began, first with a show-off SOLO, and then cut into the prelude.

Just now, the dead friend was beating the plate with chopsticks, and there were several enamel bowls of different sizes in front of him, which was using the tableware as a drum kit.

- The earth outside the porthole, the earth outside the porthole, the earth outside the porthole seems to be within reach.

With the chanting, the entire canteen stopped and turned their heads to look in the direction of Wang Ping'an.

- We are like wandering wanderers, we are like wandering wanderers, thinking of the only Mother Earth.

This is not the version that was put on the radio, and this version seems to be more powerful. Angri knows it's called rock 'n' roll.

- Although it is closer to the stars, it is closer to the stars, but it is far from the warmth of the earth.

Someone in the dining hall began to tap their fingers lightly on the table to the rhythm.

- Entering the shadows of the earth, like a solar eclipse, waiting for the light to return to our dreams.

The moment he entered the chorus, Wang Ping'an roared in a rough voice, and the audience also sang along.

- I can't hear the roar of the launch site in my dreams

- I can't see the quiet and gloomy sky

- All I could see was the grass next to the house

- O verdant, verdant grass!

The raging music once again enters a slow, lyrical rhythm.

- The orbit around the Earth is full of unknowns, and meteorites often pass by in front of your eyes.

The cafeteria began to be voiced: "Row~"

- Risk is a common occurrence here, but courage goes hand in hand with music.

A few girls join in the harmony together.

- A gentle mist wrapped around the earth outside the porthole

- It was a magnificent sunrise and a gorgeous sunset

The harmonic person no longer sings the lyrics, but softly rubs and moans "wu~"

- The wanderer misses his mother, the wanderer misses his mother, and the earth is the mother of all things.

The chorus came again, and everyone sang together as if singing:

- I can't hear the roar of the launch site in my dreams

- I can't see the quiet and gloomy sky

- All I could see was the grass next to the house

- O verdant, verdant grass!

Angli suddenly felt the urge to cry, and she didn't know why, it was something she had never encountered or learned in space flight school.

Before the song ended, Wang Ping'an shouted while playing the guitar: "The first person to enter the universe is the son of a laborer!" ”

Everyone in the cafeteria slapped the table and shouted, "Oh! ”

Wang Ping'an: "We searched all over orbit and space, but we didn't see God and angels!" ”

The crowd continued to cheer: "Oh! ”

Angli shouted along, but she didn't notice a young female lieutenant floating up to her, holding her shoulder with her hand before stopping.

Angeli looked at her quizzically through her glasses and noticed that her eyes were shining.

Girl: "Now you understand, right?" ”

Angri asked in confusion, "What?" ”

The girl just laughed and watched her not speak.

Angeli was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed heartily.
