A big country of aerospace with black technology

"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 belonged to the construction system.

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

But he wasn't quite sure why they were brought to the space training center.

Does the country need people like them to be astronauts?

Xue Feng looked at the seats on the podium where no one was sitting. "I guess someone will explain it to us later, so let's just wait."

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

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

Many of them knew each other.

Everyone wants to know why they are brought here.

They also asked before coming, but no one gave them answers.

No matter how they ask, that's all they get.

"The specific content of this matter is kept confidential. Someone will answer it for you when you arrive at your destination."

The auditorium was filled with the noise of everyone talking quietly.

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

Geng Bo walked up from the side of the podium.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Geng Bo held the microphone in his hand and said:

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

"But only after everyone signs the confidentiality agreement."

The work on both sides of the auditorium began to ask everyone present to sign confidentiality agreements one after another.

"If someone doesn't want to sign a confidentiality agreement, we won't force them."

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

"But if you don't sign the confidentiality agreement, then you are asked to leave the auditorium."

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

For many people present, confidentiality agreements have been signed many times before.

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

"Old Xue, shall we sign?" 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 document in his hand and said, "Sign it, nothing else. I'm really curious, what is this for?"

Xu Ying herself wanted to sign, but she just wanted to get someone to join her.

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

Then he signed his name on the document.

There were also people who noticed something sensitively.

For example, Lao Yang from Jiangnan Shipyard.

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

Of course, some people signed the confidentiality agreement immediately, and naturally some people didn't want to sign it.

Especially those who had a good life in their original units, and some were even spoiled and pampered.

Although he didn't stand up and say anything.

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

In their view, their original work is far more important than this work of which they do not yet know the content.

They will not know what a great cause they have missed.

This will make them regret it for decades to come.

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

They still have to sign a simple confidentiality agreement and cannot reveal anything related to this trip for several years.

The remaining people signed much faster.

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

"Now that everyone has signed the confidentiality agreement, we can start solving our puzzles today."

Geng Bo looked at the remaining people and his tone became enthusiastic.

"The first question is, what are we going to do?"

Geng Bo looked around at the faces of everyone present, and most of them showed expressions of confusion, solemnity, etc.

"I believe you have seen the sign hanging at the gate. This is where our country selects 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 do some major national project.

But I didn't expect that they would be asked to become astronauts.

A little question that many people had before was also answered.

That is, everyone present is in their prime.

Almost no one is over forty!

It seems that it is more difficult to become an astronaut because you are too old.

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

Geng Bo waited for everyone in the audience to calm down before continuing.

"But right now, you can't know the specific content yet."

"In the next period of time, you will receive preliminary astronaut training."

"You will not know the specific content until you officially become astronauts."

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

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

As soon as Geng Bo finished speaking, many people raised their right hands.

Among these people, I picked one 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 and suspend or have someone temporarily take over your work until you complete your astronaut training."

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

Their work cannot be taken over by just another person.

"Don't worry, your training time is only three months. After this period has passed, you can choose whether to continue training or return to your original unit."

After hearing that it took three months, some people present felt a little relieved.

It wasn't very long and nothing would go wrong if they weren't there.

Geng Bo actually had something left unsaid.

That is, three months of training is enough to select those who are truly suitable.

After Lao Yang sat down, Geng Bo casually named someone else.

"The training of astronauts is so intense, can we keep up?"

Xue Feng stood up for the second time and asked.

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

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

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

Many people even have various chronic diseases.

The astronauts before this were all soldiers.

Even though he is older, his physical fitness can overwhelm everyone present.

"In terms of training intensity, we have a professional team to develop a training plan for you based on 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 no longer as high as before."

Although they are still a little worried, Geng Bo's answer has been able to alleviate everyone's doubts.

In the following time, Geng Bo briefly answered various questions from those present.

Then the meeting ended.

The astronaut selection and training base was already prepared before these people arrived.

Even with hundreds of people training, nothing went wrong.

After the speech on the first day, a professional physical examination followed.

A comprehensive physical examination will be performed.

"Hey, Lao Xue didn't expect you to have this problem."

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

The report clearly stated that Xue Feng had symptoms of mild hemorrhoids.

"Do you understand that nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids?"

Xue Feng hurriedly hid his physical examination report and straightened his neck to argue.

"Besides, I have been living in Sichuan and Chongqing for a while. It is normal to get hemorrhoids from eating too much spicy food!"

"Show me yours!"

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

Unexpectedly, Xu Ying laughed and took the initiative to hand over the report for her to read.

"Look, I don't have that many physical problems. Apart from being a little thin, there is nothing wrong with me!"

Xu Ying said coquettishly.

Xue Feng wanted to beat him very much.

However, after Xu Ying finished speaking, she said seriously: "But I took a look and it is estimated that less than one tenth of us are completely healthy."

"Everyone has some problems, more or less."

Then he patted Xue Feng on the shoulder.

"So Lao Xue, you don't need to be too sad. This is normal for you."

"There are worse people than you."

"Someone has just been diagnosed with a tumor, but we don't know yet whether it is benign or malignant. We won't know until a puncture is done."

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

Physical problems are almost universal.

It is actually rare to be able to maintain a healthy body after working in these industries for many years.

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

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

"Would it be the same as electing a pilot, who cannot be elected?"

Neither of them had relevant experience and could only make their own guesses.

Xu Ying was not sure, "It shouldn't have much impact?"

"Why don't you ask the trainers tomorrow? They should know."

Although he said 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 though they have defeated 99% of people in their respective industries.

But compared to it, it takes tens of millions of people to produce one astronaut, which seems to be nothing.

Even if he was not elected as an astronaut in the end.

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

"Professor Geng, will this really not have any impact on the selection?"

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

After explaining his situation, he asked worriedly.

"If it's just mild symptoms, it won't have any impact."

Geng Bo first gave the other party a positive answer, and then said.

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

"As long as you don't have any accidents in training, there will be no problem."

Xue Feng's problem is not unique.

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

He was also not the first person Geng Bo met this evening.

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

"Can we really become astronauts?"

Xue Feng still had many questions, "Don't all astronauts have to go through layers of selection?"

Geng Bo said patiently: "Since the country wants you to become astronauts, it naturally has unchangeable reasons."

"As for whether you can succeed, it still depends on your subsequent training results."

After finally persuading Xue Feng to leave.

Before Geng Bo could take a break and drink a cup of tea, someone knocked on his door again.

It's like this is a psychotherapy room at 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 very long, and it seemed that there were still many people waiting for him.

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

Xu Ying asked curiously the next morning.

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

The astronaut training and selection base implements closed management.

After asking everyone to notify their families, all their communication tools were confiscated.

And because the base is closed, they cannot go out casually.

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

All the bases are single-occupancy dormitories, so no one knows where Xue Feng went.

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

Xue Feng said somewhat absentmindedly.

"Is there any good place to hang out in the base?" Xu Ying said with some disbelief.

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

They stopped talking.

A soldier wearing camouflage uniform walked up to their team.

"I know that you are all experts and scholars in your respective fields, but in the next time."

"I hope you can forget all your past honors, because that will make you more painful."

"Next, you will undergo a month of physical recovery training."

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

From getting up at 6:30 in the morning to going to bed at 9:30 in the evening.

The dozen or so hours in between were filled with all kinds of training.

Even Xue Feng, who had been mentally prepared, felt that the intensity of such training was really scary.

Just five kilometers, in the next month.

They have to make two trips every day!

You know, before this, some of them might not be able to walk more than two kilometers a day.

I wonder if such a heavy amount of training will make people useless.

The training instructor showed a cruel smile.

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

"Even if you are about to die, I can still save you."

"Next, prepare for five kilometers!" (End of Chapter)
