"Old Xue, do you know what happened to us this time?"

Xu Ying, chief engineer of the construction group, asked in the ear of Xue Feng, who also belongs to the construction system.

Xue Feng has been responsible for the construction of several super high-rise buildings across the country.

However, he didn't know why he brought them to the space training center.

Does the country need these people as astronauts?

Xue Feng looked at the seat on the podium, where no one had yet sat down, "I guess someone will explain to us later, let's wait." ”

Xu Ying didn't expect the other party to know what they were doing here, just to find someone to talk to.

The auditorium, which can accommodate 1,000 people, is filled with talents from all walks of life.

Many of them know each other.

Everyone wants to know why they are here.

They all asked before they came, but no one gave them answers.

No matter how much they ask, they can only get.

"The details of this matter are kept secret, and when you get to your destination, someone will answer you."

The auditorium was filled with the noise of whispered conversations.

Just when everyone's patience was about to be exhausted.

Geng Bo walked up from the side of the podium.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Geng Bo held the microphone in his hand and said:

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them to you one by one."

"But after everyone signs a non-disclosure agreement."

The work on both sides of the auditorium began one by one for everyone present to sign non-disclosure agreements.

"If someone doesn't want to sign a non-disclosure agreement, we don't force it."

After seeing the hesitation of many people in the audience, Geng Bo immediately said.

"But if you don't sign a non-disclosure agreement, then please leave the auditorium."

"Someone will take you back to your old workplace."

For many of the people present, the confidentiality agreement has been signed a lot before.

This time the battle is so big, naturally there is no reason to miss it.

"Lao Xue, can we sign it or not?" Xu Ying asked sideways.

Two people who belong to the same building system can discuss each other when making decisions.

Xue Feng looked at the confidential documents in his hand, "Sign it, nothing else, I'm really curious, what is this for?" ”

Xu Ying herself also wants to sign, but she just wants to pull someone with her.

So he said, "Then I'll sign it too." ”

Then he signed his name on the paper.

There are also people who are sensitive to something.

For example, Lao Yang from Jiangnan Shipyard.

When Xue Feng and Xu Ying were still discussing, they simply signed their names.

Of course, some people immediately sign a confidentiality agreement, and naturally some people don't want to sign it.

Especially those who are doing well in their former units, and even some are used to being arrogant.

Although he didn't stand up and say anything.

But almost all of them turned around and left the auditorium.

In their eyes, their original job is far more important than the work that they don't know the content of.

They don't know what a great thing they're missing.

This will make them regret it for the rest of their lives.

Of course, just because they walked out of the Great Hall didn't mean they could walk away.

They still have to sign a simple non-disclosure agreement and are not allowed to reveal anything related to the trip for several years.

For the rest of the people, the speed of signing is much faster.

In less than half an hour, everyone in the entire auditorium had signed a non-disclosure agreement.

"Now that everyone has signed a non-disclosure agreement, we can start our puzzle today."

Geng Bo looked at the rest of the people, and his tone began to become warm.

"First question, what are we really going to do?"

Geng Bo looked around at the faces of everyone present, and most of them had different expressions such as confusion and solemnity.

"I believe you have seen the sign hanging at the gate, which is where our country selects astronauts and trains astronauts."

"And you will participate in the selection of the first batch of non-military astronauts!"

Everyone in the audience gasped.

Most of them are leaders in their respective industries.

Before Geng Bo said that they were going to participate in the astronaut selection, he thought they were going to have some major national project.

But I didn't expect them to become astronauts.

Many people's previous small question was also answered by the way.

That's all the people present, all of them are in the prime of life.

Hardly anyone is over forty!

It seems that it is because it is too old to become an astronaut.

"At the same time, you will also be the builders of a major space project."

Geng Bo waited for the audience to calm down for a while, and then continued.

"But yet, you don't know exactly what it is."

"For the next period of time, you will receive initial astronaut training."

"You won't know until you officially become astronauts."

Geng Bo basically only said half of what he said, which made many people present uncomfortable.

"If you have any questions next, you can raise your hand and ask."

As soon as Geng Bo's words fell, many people raised their right hands.

Among these people, one was picked at random.

Lao Yang was the first to be drawn, stood up and asked, "We are training here, what about the original job?" ”

"We will communicate with your unit to suspend or temporarily take over your work until you complete astronaut training."

Geng Bo's answer was very simple, but it made many people frown.

Their work is not something that can be taken over by a random person.

"Rest assured, your training period is only three months, and after this time has passed, you can choose whether to continue training or return to your original unit."

Hearing that it took three months, some of the people present were slightly relieved.

It's not very long, and even if they're not there, nothing will go wrong.

Geng Bo actually had a sentence that he didn't say.

That is, three months of training is enough time to select the right person.

After Lao Yang sat down, Geng Bo casually ordered another person.

"The astronauts are training so intensively, can we keep up?"

Xue Feng stood up for the second and asked.

This is also a question on the minds of many people here.

You must know that in the original unit, many of them were responsible for the technical side.

When people reach middle age, their physical condition is basically not very good.

There are even many people who have a variety of chronic diseases.

Before that, all the astronauts were from military backgrounds.

Even if he is older, he can crush everyone present with all his physical qualities.

"In terms of training intensity, we have a professional team to develop a training plan for you according to your situation."

"So you don't need to worry about not being able to keep up with the training."

"Thanks to the development of technology, our requirements for the physical fitness of astronauts are not as high as before."

Although he was still a little worried, Geng Bo's answer had been able to alleviate everyone's doubts.

In the following time, Geng Bo briefly answered all kinds of small questions from the people present.

The meeting was then concluded.

The astronaut selection training base was prepared before the arrival of these people.

Even though the number of people trained was in the hundreds, nothing went wrong.

At the end of the first day, a professional medical examination followed.

A comprehensive physical examination will be conducted.

"Yo, Lao Xue didn't expect you to have problems in this regard."

Xu Ying stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck, glanced at Xue Feng's physical examination report and quipped.

The report said that Xue Feng had symptoms of mild hemorrhoids.

"Ten men and nine hemorrhoids don't understand!"

Xue Feng hurriedly hid his physical examination report, straightened his neck and quibbled.

"Besides, I have been in the Sichuan-Chongqing area for a while, and it is normal to eat too much spicy food and get hemorrhoids!"

"Let me see yours!"

Xue Feng tilted his head sideways, wanting to see Xu Ying's physical examination report.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying laughed and took the initiative to hand over the report for herself to see.

"Look, I don't have so many physical problems, except for being a little thin, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Xu Ying said in a snort.

made Xue Feng want to beat him very much.

However, after Xu Ying finished speaking, Zhengse said: "But I looked, and it is estimated that less than one-tenth of us are completely healthy. ”

"Everybody has something wrong with them more or less."

Then he patted Xue Feng on the shoulder.

"So Lao Xue, you don't have to be too sad, it's normal for you to do this."

"There's something worse than you."

"Someone has just been diagnosed with a tumor, but I don't know if it's benign or malignant, and I won't know until I have done a puncture."

Most of the people present are engaged in construction, manufacturing and other industries.

Physical problems are almost universal.

After many years in these industries, it is rare to be able to maintain a healthy body.

Xue Feng also calmed down a little after hearing this, and frowned at his physical examination report.

"Do you say hemorrhoids will affect the selection of astronauts?"

"Will it be the same as the election of pilots, and the election of pilots?"

Neither of them had relevant experience and could only guess for themselves.

Xu Ying wasn't sure, "It shouldn't be too affected?" ”

"Why don't you ask the trainers tomorrow, they should know."

Although he said that he didn't want to be an astronaut, he got this opportunity.

No one wants to give up.

This is a rare opportunity for 99% of people.

Even if they are in their respective industries, they have beaten ninety-nine percent of them.

But compared to tens of millions of astronauts, it seems to be nothing.

Even if the astronaut was not selected in the end.

This experience alone is enough for them to remember for the rest of their lives.

"Professor Geng, won't this really have any impact on the selection?"

The next day, Xue Feng knocked on Geng Bo's dormitory door that night.

After talking about his situation, he asked worriedly.

"If it's just mild symptoms, it won't make a difference."

Geng Bo first gave the other party an affirmative answer, and then said.

"And we can take it slowly over the next few months."

"As long as you don't have an accident in training, you won't have a problem."

Xue Feng's problem is not unique.

In fact, there are at least dozens of people with the same problem.

He's also not the first Geng Bo to see this night.

Before him, Geng Bo had just finished greeting the structural engineering expert who had been diagnosed with a tumor in the medical area.

"Can we really become astronauts?"

Xue Feng still has a lot of questions, "Aren't astronauts all selected through layers of selection?" ”

Geng Bo said patiently: "Since the country wants you to become astronauts, there are naturally unchangeable reasons. ”

"As for whether you can succeed or not, it still depends on the results of your next training."

Finally, after persuading Xue Feng to leave.

Before Geng Boxi could drink a cup of tea, there was another knock on his door.

It's as if this is the psychotherapy room of the training base.

Geng Bo sighed, looked at the hour hand on the wall that had reached eleven o'clock, and opened the door.

The night was still a long one, and it seemed that there were still many people waiting for him.

"Old Xue, where did you go last night?"

The next morning, Xu Ying asked with some curiosity.

"I went to look for you, but you weren't there."

The astronaut training and selection base implements closed management.

After everyone informed their families, all their means of communication were confiscated.

And because of the closure of the base, they can't go out casually.

Xu Ying wanted to go to Xue Feng to chat last night, but she didn't expect that he was not in the dormitory.

The base is all single dormitories, so no one knows where Xue Feng went.

"I was a little bored at night, so I went out for a spin twice to relax."

Xue Feng said a little absent-mindedly.

"Is there anything else in the base that has gotten better?" Xu Ying said with some disbelieving.

But he didn't wait for Xue Feng to answer.

They stopped talking.

A soldier in camouflage uniform walked up to their ranks.

"I know you're all experts and scholars in your field, but in the next few years."

"I hope you will forget about the honors you have received in the past, because it will make you more miserable."

"Next, you're going to undergo a month-long recovery training."

The soldiers did not introduce themselves, but directly talked about their next arrangements.

I wake up at half past six in the morning and go to bed at half past nine in the evening.

The more than ten hours in the middle were full of various trainings.

Even Xue Feng, who had already been mentally prepared, felt that this kind of training intensity was really a bit terrifying.

It's just five kilometers, and the next month.

They make two trips a day!

You know, before that, some of them may not be able to walk more than two kilometers in a day.

Suddenly, such a large amount of training, I don't know if it will make people useless.

The training instructor gave a cruel smile.

"Don't worry about training injuries, we have a professional medical team."

"Even if you are dying, I can save you."

"Next, five kilometers ready!" (End of chapter)
