Chapter 140 Cockpit Arrangement in Emergency State

The modification of the test machine was completed faster than Wang Ping'an expected.

It only took three days for Wang Ping'an and his partner to successfully get into the modified airframe.

"Because of the new brain-computer interface, the two of you can only squeeze together. In addition, you can't wear spacesuits in this state, and you can only drive with air in the cockpit." The ground crew chief lay on the cockpit He poked his head in and said, "Anyway, it doesn't matter to you two, after all, you've done everything, right? Let's think about it, you two are at least *friends."

Wang Pingan looked at Angeli's face right in front of him: "You wouldn't put us in a face-to-face embrace, would you?"

"Isn't there no hug? There is still room. The quality of this brain-computer interface is so big that it will affect the flight performance. I don't think this thing can improve the performance of the airframe just because of the increased dead weight. ’” said the ground crew chief.

Wang Pingan was speechless, looked at Angeli who was on the opposite side, and said: "I don't know they would pretend like this, if I knew, I would suggest that they make us back to back, and install all the machines related to the brain-computer interface between us."

Angeli blinked and blinked: "Why do I feel that you are secretly happy now?"

"No, no, what am I secretly happy about? This is out of reach. It looks so close, but it's actually far away. Don't forget that we are trapped on this chair, and we can't move our hands at all. What if In order to escape in an accident, we have to release this restraint first..."

At this time, the ground crew officer intervened just right: "For the convenience of escape, we removed the original fixed device that was not easy to dismantle, and replaced it with our military standard fixed belt. You all know the method of removal.

"Also, because the main engine is on the side of the two of you now, take it easy when accelerating, and don't fracture the shoulder blade or something. This is really a stopgap measure. I really want to use this brain-computer interface to operate the battleship. , definitely redesigning the cockpit.

"Not to mention, according to the rules of our Space Force, the display screen and console in the original cockpit must be kept as a backup.

"Now you see, it's all disassembled for you. If the brain-computer interface doesn't work well, the battleship can only be driven by the computer."

Wang Pingan nodded again and again, and said the moment the ground staff officer finished speaking: "Did you hear that, they said so."

Angeli replied angrily: "I heard that, what the director means is that after going out, the chance of being raped by you increases by 50.00%."

"Don't make me sound like an oil thief. And it's not like I don't have your fat pork. I have some on my buttocks. Who cares?"

Angeli: "Okay, I know you've exercised enough, you don't have a single piece of fat all over your body, it's all muscle."

She finished speaking in a coaxing tone, and the marines standing guard next door couldn't hold back their laughter.

Wang Ping'an is indeed not lazy in muscle training, but compared with the muscular marines who have been trained under [-] times the gravity all year round, it is still a bit worse.

Those in the Marine Corps have the legendary "ghost back" behind them, and they are very fierce at first glance.

There was once a Marine Corps who stopped a car with brake failure by relying on muscle power while on vacation.

Wang Pingan looked awkwardly at the big sentinel of the Marine Corps, then cleared his throat: "Anyway, I won't do anything to you."

The ground crew officer looked at the expressions of the two of them and said, "That's fine. In fact, we originally considered a tighter installation method, but the instructor rejected it, saying it was indecent. Anyway, remember, the cockpit now It is already full, so please drive carefully to avoid accidents. If there is an accident and it is difficult to escape, you can only pray for the computer to drive the combat boat back.”

Wang Pingan looked at Angeli: "Did you hear that?"

Angeli said angrily, "You are driving."

"No, we are driving this thing together, and we don't know each other when driving."

"All right, I'll just pay attention."

The ground crew inspected the equipment of the two for the last time, and then patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder: "Then I will leave it to you. I will close the hatch!"

Wang Pingan nodded.

With the hatch closed, the field of vision was pitch black.

Wang Ping'an muttered, "Why don't you leave a light?"

Angeli said angrily: "There is no light in the combat state of the cockpit. It all depends on the lights on the instrument panel and the control panel. Now that the screen and the control panel are removed, it will be completely dark."

Wang Ping'an: "Then my eyesight should gradually adapt to the darkness, why it has been closed for a while, and it is still dark."

Angeli: "Is it possible that adapting to the dark refers to adapting to a low-light environment instead of a no-light environment?"

"Can't you see it too?"

"I was short-sighted, so it's normal to not be able to see now. Don't gasp, you're calling my face."

"Why, do you think the pork and scallion dumplings I just ate tasted bad?"

The two of them joked with each other as if nothing happened, while waiting for the start of the experiment.

Outside, Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas stopped Tu Shengli, who was about to order the experiment: "I am opposed to using my ace pilot to do this kind of test! I used to test it in the ship, it doesn't matter how I test it, now they want to use this kind of test that doesn't rely on Spectrum's new control system flew overboard, I disagree!"

Tu Shengli frowned: "You also supported the test before."

"The test I support refers to the safe situation. For example, the combat boat test site in the earth's orbit. My detachment once had four Chinese people, and then they all died. I don't want my detachment to become the Chinese people's Cemetery."

Nikolai here refers to the test field dedicated to testing small spaceships such as combat boats in earth orbit. It is a huge cylindrical structure with enough internal space for the aircraft to conduct "indoor tests."

The test site can completely simulate the vacuum space environment, but in fact it is a fully enclosed structure. Even if the battleship disintegrates in an accident, all the parts and the test pilots inside can be recovered.

Tu Shengli: "But our test has been approved. It seems that the top of the Space Force also wants to know whether he is really a new human."

Nicholas: "Shit! He is not a new human being! I am also an ace, and I know too well that the ace is just shit luck. When the good luck is gone, it will be put in the box immediately."

Tu Shengli looked directly at Nicholas: "But he is different. You can look at his experimental data. This cannot be explained by pure luck. You must not have this test score."

Nicholas: "Maybe you have a point, but I just don't agree."

Tu Shengli took a deep breath, and changed into a negotiating tone: "Why don't you drive your combat boat and bring a full set of life-saving equipment to serve as his bodyguard."

Nicholas collapsed for a few seconds, and glanced at the troop commander Peng Chuke who was beside him: "Peng Chuke! Didn't you say that he gave you courage before letting you get the gold star? You let your benefactor take risks like this?"

Peng Chuke: "Do you think he will appreciate me or hate me if I say stop now? He himself is very interested in this project. And, do you know that he has been applying to join the Centaur project? The average Venus plan is not so good join, but a new human..."

Nicholas collapsed for a few seconds, and finally compromised: "Okay, what you just said, change the rescue equipment for my battle boat, and I will escort him personally!"
