Candidates with technical expert backgrounds have also experienced the addiction of flying several times. Although they are unlikely to be assigned to the position of spacecraft pilots even if they are selected as astronauts, they still touch the aircraft like curious babies, and under the supervision of official pilots
Next, I pulled the joystick with my own hands and screamed, flying out of the S shape for a while, and flying out of the B shape for a while. (, Geili Literature Network
It's really hard for these people, who are not even qualified as rookies, to be able to fly such a difficult maneuver.
It only lasts for a few seconds at best. In fact, the difficulty of stable flight of an airplane is not much higher than that of a car, but it already makes them excited.
I can actually fly a plane in this life. Even if I don't get selected as an astronaut, I will have enough words to talk about it when I go back.
The pilots had only a few pleasant days to relax every day, but what was supposed to come came anyway, and no one could stop Major General Sun's order to get out.
Major General Sun summoned the twenty-one candidates remaining after three rounds of elimination with the fourth round elimination list.
"No. 9, No. 21, No. 34, No. 42, No. 49, No. 51, and No. 55. There are seven people in total. Please click on the comrade with the code name to come out! You have 24 hours to sort out your personal belongings and pick up the vehicle.
We have already arranged the flight and air tickets.”
Major General Sun looked particularly ruthless at this moment.
There are fourteen people left!
Not only were the seven people who were eliminated showed relief on their faces, but the fourteen people also breathed a sigh of relief. They were not going to be eliminated in a round, but they still stayed. At least they would not be allowed to do so after the list of this round came out.
My nerves were very tense.
This round of elimination was not as brutal as the previous rounds where more than a dozen people were eliminated at every turn, only one-third were eliminated.
However, it can be seen that as time goes by, everyone's real qualities become closer to each other, unlike at the beginning where there was a big gap.
Lin Mo and Meng Yinan exchanged glances, and both of them were lucky enough to stay. (, Geili Literature Network
The high risks of space flight are destined to exclude a large number of people. This ticket is not easy to get, and those who get it may not have peace of mind.
At this time, those who are eliminated are not necessarily regretful, but may be lucky.
The people whose code names were called were still a little disappointed and stood up alone in a line, but at this time their mental endurance was already quite strong.
Being able to come here is not just as simple as being eliminated by harsh standards, but also to provide these candidates with professional aerospace training and training.
Since the end of the third round, the Aerospace Training Center has strengthened the training on psychological quality, so those who were eliminated no longer showed aggrieved expressions or even shed tears of disappointment as they did at the beginning.
As seven people stood out of the queue, there was silence.
Although no one took the lead, the fourteen people left behind hugged the seven people goodbye one by one, as if they had made an appointment, whispered a few words of comfort, and then returned to the group again.
Although I feel a little reluctant to give up, the Aerospace Training Center is the Aerospace Training Center. Their selection criteria have been tested countless times, just like there is no sand in the eyes.
Just like the aerospace industry, it is precise and demanding, with no room for ambiguity and no tolerance for any mistakes.
Now is not a happy time for the fourteen remaining candidates.
They will also face the final round of elimination, and only the top ten will be eligible to stay and become official astronauts.
Even so, there is still a possibility among astronauts that they may just sit back and train, perhaps persisting in training for more than ten years, and ultimately never even touch the edge of space, thus wasting the entire best space life cycle.
Every time we take off, the country not only has to pay a huge price, but as astronauts, we also have to pay such a huge sacrifice.
Behind every shining aerospace hero, there is always a group of unknown "stoolies".
Therefore, the faces of the candidates who were not eliminated only became more solemn without any look of joy. It is necessary to have a normal heart that is unshakable.
The psychological quality of astronauts is such that even if a space plane or rocket explodes, they will not frown. I am afraid that they are the only people in the world who can remain calm even if they enter the execution ground and take a bullet.
"This is the pain and tears of every generation of astronauts!"
Seeing the backs of the seven candidates disappearing from sight, Major General Sun Huabin felt uncomfortable. It was the same in every session. After everyone had been together for a long time, there would always be some feelings.
Alas! There are still people sitting on the bench. Who knows the bitterness of those astronauts who have wasted their youth?
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 glanced at the remaining fourteen candidates, and his tone contained some invisible pressure.
"There are still 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 and give your best performance. Don't hold anything back. This is competition first and friendship second. You must do your best. There is no second chance. Never give up.
I would like to give up this precious opportunity so easily. Here, I would also like to remind everyone that the assessment scores are not necessarily absolute. Elimination is based on screening from multiple angles, including man-made factors, God's will, luck and strength."
"Finally, what I want to say to everyone is that even if you are eliminated, you are all great for being able to get to this point! You are all heroes!"
The fourteen candidates looked at Major General Sun with bright eyes and excitement. They all felt the great expectations that Major General Sun had placed on them.
"Penglai, now start the 30-minute preparation!"
Fourteen candidates were divided into two groups of seven people each, and the last round of training they faced was simulated space flight training.
The simulator used for operation is completely realistic, but considering future upgrades, it is only assembled using a modular steel frame. The overall look is a bit like an unfinished space shuttle.
The simulated spacesuits worn by the candidates are the same as real ones, but there are countless electromagnets buried on the surface of the clothes. In order to make the simulation process as realistic as possible, it can not only form opposite attraction with the external magnetic field, but also simulate overload pressure.
It can also form same-sex repulsions to simulate a low gravity environment.
However, there are also shortcomings. If the magnetic field reaction between the two people is not switched well, well, it will be bad. They are either gay or gangsters.
The seven candidates began to enter the cockpit. This real cockpit was almost identical, and even the feedback from any small button was no different from the real one.
"Get ready to fill in the information!"
"The fuel will be filled in twenty minutes! Oxygen replenishment will begin."
Through the radio, orders from the simulated launch center came to my ears. According to the real situation, refueling and charging would usually start two hours ago, and careful inspections would be carried out one after another.
The astronauts will only enter their posts 30 minutes before launch, so as the first group, Lin Mo and the others also strictly follow the real procedures.
The cockpit of the simulated space shuttle is vertical. Normally, you can easily climb in. However, now that you are wearing a bloated space suit and the magnetic points are not turned on, you have to spend a lot of time to get into your seat.
It takes a lot of effort.
When the last candidate gets in, the outer sealed hatch is officially closed and locked from the inside.
Lin Mo misses his "Dragon General" single-soldier tactical armor for land and air use. Although it is flexible and can provide mobility bonus, it is not suitable for long-term survival in space.
In the first group were 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 seven people pulled each other and crawled inside the space shuttle cabin.
Fortunately, the internal structure design has taken this into consideration, and it took more than five minutes to finally press myself onto the specially made load-resistant seat.
The captain is Lin Mo, there is no doubt that he and Wang Xuejun are the pilots.
No. 15 is responsible for the navigation system, No. 18 is responsible for the communication system, No. 35 and 53 are responsible for load control, and No. 39 is responsible for supervising mission supervision.
The overall training will take four days. They will eat, drink, shower, and sleep in this fully enclosed simulated space shuttle for four full days. In addition to taking off, landing and controlling the state of the body, the work involved also involves simulating space.
Experiments and other work.
Lin Mo sat in the driver's seat and held the joystick. It was basically the same as a fighter jet, but the auxiliary functions were more complex. Unlike a fighter jet flying in the stable troposphere and stratosphere, the space shuttle needed to completely cross the entire atmosphere.
Various atmospheric environments, ranging from severe cold to nearly 100 degrees below zero and high temperatures to 1200 degrees, require extremely high adaptability.
"On the 18th, confirm whether the navigation system is normal."
"The self-test has been completed and the connection between satellite and ground positioning has been completed."
"Report No. 1, the communication system connection is normal, and the 'Penglai' and 17 communication nodes have achieved four-channel parallel connection."
This "Penglai" is the simulated space shuttle they are driving. The entity of the simulator is actually a spindle shape, while the computer shows that the entity of "Penglai" is a large triangle, with an integrated design of the fuselage and wings.
Only pursuing speed and stability without considering combat, this design has excellent performance during straight flight and take-off and landing. Especially when returning from outer space and passing through the atmosphere, it can rely on the aerodynamic layout to obtain sufficient buffer speed.
Candidates who enter each seat will begin to bind themselves. This is very close to real flight training. The simulated space suit can simulate a maximum overload force of 10 g, which can perfectly simulate the overload force of the existing Shenzhou spacecraft (lift-off).
Overload 4-5g, return 3.24g.
Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, the overload force can be controlled. Unlike the previous return voyage without an ascending power device, which could reach a maximum overload of 12g.
Being able to achieve this step is extremely rare.
