Five Hundred and Thirty Second Vacuum Improved Version

The affiliated airport of Qiongzhou Aerospace Training Center.

Qiongzhou, the affiliated airport of the Aerospace Training Center.

A large white plane was quietly parked at the start of the airport runway. On the back of the weird plane, a second-stage rocket more than 20 meters long was ready to go.

There is a very inconspicuous building not far from the runway. Inside the building, Huo Qiang walked into the lounge with a newly released list in his hand. The thirty reserve astronauts in the lounge stood up together, and everyone's eyes fell on the list at the same time. above.

The order of the astronauts in the training team is not fixed, but the principle of quality priority is adopted. After receiving the launch mission, the training team will pick out the thirty-six reserve astronauts with the best physical condition, and conduct a round of competition-style physical examination , according to the order of physiological indicators, theoretically, the top twelve people will be entered into the big list for lift-off.

However, there are exceptions to everything. The specific candidates for ascension depend on the talents needed on the moon side, so physiological indicators are only reference materials for ascension candidates, not decision criteria.

What Huo Qiang held in his hand was the list that decided who would stay and who would go.

His sharp eyes glanced around, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Sit."

Everyone sat down suddenly, looking at Huo Qiang with anticipation, apprehension, restlessness and uneasiness.

After staying in the training team for more than half a year, the students here are very aware of the dangers of aerospace engineering. Maybe there will be problems with the rocket at any time. It is not an exaggeration to say that aerospace is a gamble with death, but the dangers faced by astronauts are extremely small. not going anywhere.

"The comrades whose names are called line up in front of me!" Huo Qiang shook the list, "Duan Zhiyang!"

"Here!" A short major officer stood up.

"Fang Xu."

"arrive!"

"Tao Lele."

"arrive!"

"Yuan Yu..."

Companions came out more and more, and the eyes of others were filled with rejoicing and envy. Everyone was silently counting the number of candidates. When there were eleven candidates standing in front of them, Huo Qiang put down the list and called out the last one. Name: "Ye Han!"

"Here!" Ye Han subconsciously shouted,

Then there was a buzzing in his head, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing at the end of the line.

Huo Qiang said: "The others bring it back, you guys follow me."

Bringing twelve people to the small conference room, Huo Qiang handed out the pens and papers that he had prepared to everyone after they were seated: "I believe that you have already made preparations. It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and the next half hour I'll leave it to you... I'll be outside, if you have any requirements, you can come out and find me."

After speaking, Huo Qiang left the meeting room, leaving behind twelve restless candidates.

After a long silence, Duan Zhiyang, who was sitting next to Ye Han, let out a long sigh, picked up the pen, and resigned himself to his fate, and began to write the suicide note.

"That's right, we are the first batch, and the equipment is all new, so there must be no problem." Another candidate comforted himself.

One candidate sighed and pushed the pen and paper away. Although he didn't speak, we all knew that there was no one in his family after living together for half a year. The organization introduced a girlfriend for him, and the relationship was not enough. The point of leaving a will.

Not long after, the only sound left in the meeting room was the rustle of pen nib writing.

Everyone has their own ideas, but no matter whether they write or not, or what content they write, everyone's mood is very calm.

This is not an accident.

The Moon Palace Project has a strict schedule. If everything goes well, the first phase of the project will take about half a year to complete. But no one dares to say that there will be no accidents in the middle, and the actual construction time may be delayed.

In a cold and desolate place like the moon, everyone must live in a fully enclosed living cabin. There are only a few people in the entire construction site, and loneliness is unavoidable.

In this case, people with a calm personality and tough nerves persist longer, while people with a lively personality live for a long time on the moon where the living space is narrow and the interpersonal life is simple and boring. question.

Therefore, the recruitment of the aerospace team is not only based on physique and occupation, but also on character and character. They must be able to endure loneliness...or have nerd attributes, at least nerd tendencies.

Ye Han only wrote a few words and threw the pen aside, raised his head and thought for a while, got up and left the meeting room, opened the door, and saw Huo Qiang waiting outside at a glance.

"Finished?" Huo Qiang asked.

Ye Han shook his head: "Chief, I want to make a request."

"you say."

"I want to see my wife." Ye Han was a little embarrassed.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Huo Qiang nodded immediately, "Do you need to arrange a room for you? There is still a little time."

As long as there are no unreasonable demands such as withdrawing from the training team, he will definitely do his best to meet them.

"No need, I don't feel that way." Ye Han smiled wryly, "Chief, if possible, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

"Say."

"Don't send family members up until the moon base is stable."

"Don't worry, I'll do the same if you don't say it... We gentlemen are working hard outside, isn't it just for our wives and children?"

"Thank you chief."

"You're welcome." Huo Qiang asked someone to come over and confess a few words, then turned around and asked with a smile, "How are you doing, are you nervous?"

Ye Han replied: "It's not that I'm nervous, I just don't understand how to call me up."

He majored in weapons, and what the moon base needs most now are engineering talents, but Huo Qiang would definitely not make such an obvious mistake, so he just took this opportunity to ask.

Huo Qiang chuckled: "Why else, it's all right."

Ye Han showed doubts, and Huo Qiang explained: "The American base has also started construction, and it is also at the north pole of the moon, only a hundred and ten kilometers away from our base. what."

"So close? Has Beidu reached an agreement with the Americans?" Ye Han asked curiously.

Huo Qiang nodded: "It's inconvenient to be too close, and it loses the meaning of building a base on the moon if it's too far away. More than 100 kilometers is a suitable distance."

"It's just me, isn't it too thin?"

"Don't worry about this. The Americans are still in the material preparation stage and will not send people to the moon in a short time. You must use this time to familiarize yourself with the situation on the moon, formulate combat plans and defense plans, and avoid being in a hurry when accidents happen."

"I understand." Ye Han nodded, "What about the equipment? You can't let me use my bare hands?"

"We have to overcome difficulties for the time being." Huo Qiang said, "It's not easy to transport materials from the ground, but don't worry, there are two special 3D printers on the moon. When everything is on the right track, you can use it to print any equipment you need."

Ye Han's eyes lit up: "Including power armor?"

"Including power armor." Huo Qiang nodded, "And it's a vacuum-improved version."

"Very good!"
