4. Do you want me to die?

     "Second Lieutenant Du," Yang Xi's seat turned 180 degrees and faced with Duda, "I don't talk nonsense. Our Sky Army combat troops are very dangerous. If you sacrifice, the country will give you the title of martyr and a generous pension. Oh, your son can get extra points in the college entrance examination."

Duda sweated coldly: "I don't have a son yet."

"The country will help you build one." The frost on Yang Xi's face faded a little. "The moon base is still the highest secret now, so your parents will only be told that you have special skills, enlist in the army, and serve in an air force base in the northern border. I hope you can understand."

What can I do if I don’t understand? Duda whispered and asked, “I still don’t understand why I chose me, just because I play the game well?”

"No, it's the extraordinary nerve reaction speed and physical and brain coordination." Yang Xi released the seat belt to make himself more comfortable to sit. "Tell me so, lunar technology is like an endless treasure for us. You can make extremely incredible progress by digging a little bit. For example, my first time on the moon, it took eight days from ignition to landing. But now, the whole journey only takes four hours, which is faster than going from your home to the base."

Yang Xi was waiting for Duda to digest it before continuing: "We found a simulated aircraft inside the moon, which seemed to be the teaching tool of the lunar people. Its appearance, haha, is what you call the game cabin. Our scientists started this training cabin and tried to conduct tests to know the lunar people's technological level. As a result, they found that the simulated environment reflected in the training cabin was not something that humans could bear."

"What does it mean?" Duda was a little puzzled. Will the training cabin change the internal environment?

"The speed is too fast." Yang Xi shook his head and said, "No one can control the aircraft at such a fast speed."

Duda understood. So these scientists made an online game, starting with the army and then promoting it to ordinary citizens, with the purpose of selecting pilots who react quickly enough. If the gravity limit or myopia problems are not considered, the neural reaction speed can be measured only through this method, and it will not cause various suspicion and conspiracy theories, causing panic among the people.

"Is it dangerous just a training cabin?" Duda said strangely.

"Yes." Yang Xi nodded slowly and said affirmatively.

When a person is in a state of tension, the brain will stop operating in an extremely short moment when accidentally disturbed. This is like a hard disk shock protection program that prevents the brain from collapsing because it cannot process too much information.

This physiological function of "suspension, queueing" has only a protective effect on the human body in a normal environment. However, once the tension limit is exceeded, this protective function will cause the brain to stop and excessive secretion of adrenaline, making the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system unable to withstand extreme blood pressure, and eventually cause cerebral hemorrhage.

Yang Xi explained the general reason for the death in an easy-to-understand manner and stared at Du Da's eyes: "Do you understand now?"

"I don't understand..." Duda felt that his body seemed to be out of control, and his hands and feet were trembling because of anger. "You know this, you still have to sit on them and die!" He said almost in a roaring voice.

"This is very realistic," Yang Xi did not have any changes in expression. "Where we can see with our heads, we can have a terrible power that can destroy the earth's civilization with a moving thumb. Shouldn't we understand their ability level and study how to avoid being destroyed by them?"

Duda felt that his lips were already trembling. He could not say such bold words as "The destruction of the whole world is nothing to do", but he did not think that he was so noble that he could sacrifice his life for justice.

"Col. Yang's younger brother died yesterday." Tao Jiu lowered his head and whispered, "You are going to replace him. There is no qualified soldier in the army."

"Are there still Americans or Russians? Why do we Chinese people let us die!" Duda put his hands on his thighs and wiped away the sweat from his palms.

"They are also sacrificing." Yang Xi stood up, "If possible, I would like to sit on that chair." As she said that, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb.

"If I don't agree..."

"There will be one more missing person in your police station files." Yang Xi said coldly.

"...then it seems that I am too unaware!" Du Da seemed to have not heard Yang Xi's words, "I am willing to contribute my own strength to the continuation of human civilization! Even if I sacrifice, I will not refuse!"

——No matter what, when the "domestication" process is over, I can still maintain myself. The problem is, I seem to be in an environment where I can't resist!

Duda thought in a tangled way.

"Actually, you don't need to be so tragic." Tao Jiu's eyes showed that she did not believe Duda's vow at all. "The mortality rate is not very high, and you will be able to figure out the limits of the moon's aircraft soon. Thanks to Yang Chen."

Indeed, many people have collapsed before they reach their limits, so they just endured some mental torture and did not die. However, neither female officer told Duda about this.

The huge silver planet is getting bigger and bigger, and it is finally about to land.

Yang Xi turned the seat and entered the manual operation stage.

Duda's fear was gradually faded by the excitement and curiosity of stepping onto extraterrestrial bodies for the first time.

Tao Jiu helped him put on his helmet and checked each other whether the space suits met safety standards. Then the three of them walked through the cargo hold and came to the air compartment at the rear of the shuttle. Yang Xi skillfully discharged the air compartment air, opened the hatch door, and closed the artificial gravity field.

The gravity of the moon is only one-sixth of that of the earth. After closing the artificial gravity field, Duda felt that he was light and light. Yang Xi took the lead in walking out of the air cabin and waved to Duda and the others. Five or six lunar rovers were parked in the place where his eyes were within. This kind of car was similar to the commuter car used inside the base, but it was transformed more suitable for the moon ground, with wide tires and strong grip.

Duda watched Tao Jiu jumping and catching up with Yang Xi without any protection. Although it seemed interesting to run on the moon, Duda was still worried that he would rush into the dark universe with just one force.

"Are you afraid of jumping out of the moon when you jump?" Tao Jiu mocked Duda's snail speed from the communicator, "Don't worry, you have to reach a speed of 1.35 to 2.4 kilometers per second to escape from the moon."

——One or two kilometers per second... Well, this speed seems to be something I can't reach in my life.

Duda thought about it and jumped like a kangaroo. This long period of stagnation gave Duda a feeling of becoming Jordan. It would be great if he could install a basketball stand on the surface of the moon!

The three of them quickly walked to the lunar rover. The driver was wearing a space suit that was different from the three, with the American star and striped flag on his chest. He took the lead and asked the three to get on the car. The other lunar rovers started one by one, and it was obvious that they were transport teams.

"Welcome to the moon." The driver said to Duda in strange Mandarin.

"How do you know that it's my first time here?" Duda was surprised.

"You will know when you walk," the driver turned his neck, "Be careful to jump out of the moon."

"Oh, no, you have to reach a speed of one thousand to two thousand meters per second before you can jump out." Duda was very happy that he was qualified to do popular science.

"Check, are you a big-size scientist?"

"No, be considered a soldier." Du Da was a little unconfident. It was the first time he put on his military uniform this morning and had never conducted a military training - besides military training.

"Among Chinese soldiers, it is rare to talk as much as you." The black driver pointed to the two real Chinese soldiers in the back row of the lunar rover.

"I haven't been in the army for a long time," Duda said.

"Congratulations." The driver probably wanted to say something, "Do you speak English?"

"Well, I don't know much. You speak Chinese very well." Duda encouraged.

"I have been on the moon for six years, and that's all I gained." The driver drove the car and crushed it on a moon rock, and the whole car was bumped up.

"It's very charming here, but it will be boring after staying for a long time." The driver was a little talkative.

Duda looked in through his helmet and seemed to see another universe - the driver was a black man.

"Duda," Yang Xi patted Duda's shoulder from behind, "Did you see the turntable on your left wrist in your spacesuit?"

"Well, what is this?" Duda then discovered that there was this metal turntable on the spacesuit, with Arabic numerals 1 to 6 on it.

"Change it to 4." Yang Xi said.

Duda acted as he said, nothing happened.

"This is a communication channel, 1 is the full channel, and it can be sent as long as it is within the communication range. 2 and 3 are the American and Russian channels, respectively. Our spacesuits cannot be received. 4 is the Chinese channel, so the communication between us will not be heard by the chatter around you. 5 and 6 are custom channels, but the communication department needs to set up and register, huh, and monitor." Tao Jiu said in one breath.

Duda thought to himself: You should talkatively, you are no better than this black brother...
