Chapter 153 The "New Man"'s Sense of Humor

Wang Pingan: "Okay, I accept this condition."

As soon as the words came out, the astronauts of the second detachment and the test flight detachment made a surprised sound together.

Angeli stared at Wang Ping'an with wide eyes: "Really?"

Wang Pingan nodded: "Really."

"You don't think every time it will be as smooth as the time when you got the silver star! You know, before..." Angeli may have said it without thinking too much, and it was only here that she realized that she directly mentioned the time when Xiao Fang died. It doesn't seem so good.

It's like rubbing salt in someone else's wound.

However, Wang Pingan said directly: "Are you saying that Xiao Fang messed up that time? But this time it's not an actual battle, it's a simulation. Even if I lose under such conditions, it just proves that I was lucky before. "

Angeli raised her eyebrows: "If you think it's good, then it's fine."

Wang Ping'an couldn't wait to get into the simulation cabin, and Angeli quickly went around to the other side, opened the cabin door and got in.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas outside said: "Although this condition is very harsh, since I have no objection, we also have no objection. But when you are fighting with the rest of us, you are not allowed to hang up like this!"

The uncle test pilot nodded: "Of course, fighting with others is a fair competition. I hope you can show us more experience in actual combat."

After speaking, the uncle and his partner also got into the simulation cabin opposite.

**
In the simulation cabin, Angeli turned off the radio equipment in the cabin, and asked Wang Pingan in a low voice, "Do you really think you can do it?"

"Didn't you ask outside?"

"In front of everyone outside, I can understand that you want to save face. Now it's just the two of us here."

"Is there any difference between us?" Wang Pingan asked.

Angeli was at a loss for words for a moment: "This...we are partners!"

"I'll tell you when I'm in love, or should I just skip the previous steps and go straight to that step?" Wang Pingan resumed his usual tone.

Angorie gave him a slap in the stomach with her elbow, but it wasn't heavy.

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Don't worry, you see that there is a huge advantage now compared to when I took the silver star."

Angeli thought for a second, then asked, "You mean, we don't wear spacesuits?"

Theoretically speaking, the real simulation training should put on a spacesuit and sit in the simulation cabin, and then pump out the air in the cabin.But this is very troublesome, and so many spacesuits also require maintenance costs, so the training in spacesuits has been changed to once a week, and I usually sit in the simulation cabin like this without pumping air.

And now this kind of friendly match, because it is mainly about communication, so the two sides don't need to be so formal.

Angeli: "That's it? Can this allow you to avoid massive debris with residual heat? Or is it in a complex electromagnetic environment?"

Wang Pingan: "Try it."

At this time, an outside voice came from the earphone: "I am Nikolai, the referee. The computer has generated the battlefield according to the requirements. It will start when you are ready."

Wang Pingan took a deep breath: "Let's start!"

The simulation cabin started, all the screens lit up, and the battlefield just generated by the computer was suddenly displayed in front of Wang Ping'an's partner.

Angeli glanced at the thermal imaging screen, shook her head and said, "The thermal imaging is finished, and the radar is full of clutter. Computer anti-collision is absolutely impossible to count on, it's up to you."

Just like the time when he took the silver star, Wang Pingan pulled out the control panel that manually controls each attitude control engine, and then cracked his knuckles hard like a kung fu master: "Just look at it!"

Angeli exclaimed: "Over there!"

The next moment all the screens turned red, and the text "You are dead" appeared in the center of the spherical panoramic screen.

Wang Ping'an kept on breaking his fingers: "What?"

Nicholas' voice came from the earphones: "Wang Ping'an's plane was destroyed by debris. According to the data given by the computer, the mass of the impacted debris was three tons, and the relative speed was ten kilometers per second. .”

Wang Pingan: "I'm still accumulating emotions, come again."

Nicholas: "Let me ask the other party... Well, the other party just agreed, come on again. The countdown will begin when the countdown is over."

Wang Pingan hurriedly put his hands on the control panel and swallowed.

Angeli: "You swallow this saliva so loudly, give it a thud."

Wang Pingan didn't respond at all, because the countdown had reached zero at this time.

He immediately began to operate, barely flashing the first fragment.

The surrounding environment is simply like a labyrinth of fragments. Although the distance between the fragments is large in the concept of ordinary people, considering the speed of the current battleship and the size of the battleship itself, the distance between the fragments is appalling. people.

For a full 20 seconds, Wang Pingan couldn't do anything other than concentrate on hiding the debris.

One second to No.20, Wang Pingan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and the next moment the spherical screen turned red.

Nicholas' voice came from the headset: "Wang Ping'an, hit the debris again, the battleship was half destroyed, the computer judged that you were unable to fight, and your partner was also killed."

Wang Pingan frowned and looked down at his hands.

Angorie patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, in this case..."

"I feel very strange." Wang Pingan interrupted her, "I don't know if it's because it's a simulation, not the real universe, or because of some other reason. Anyway, I feel... I feel like I'm not as engrossed as I was before. , and the feeling of becoming one with the battleship."

Because the radio in the simulation cabin was turned on at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas and Major Eras obviously heard these words.

The instructor's voice came from the earphones: "It may be because you are not in a dangerous situation now. When people are indeed in danger, they will stimulate their amazing potential."

Wang Pingan: "Then how can I reproduce this potential in the simulator?"

"Generally speaking, most of the arousal states in humans can be reproduced with hormones in the body. For example, injecting dopamine or adrenaline."

Wang Pingan: "Then..."

"These are all hormones that the human body will produce, but they can be provided to you in excess. Do you want to try it?" the instructor said in a discussing tone.

Wang Pingan: "Come on!"

At this time, through the microphones of Nicholas and Eras, he vaguely heard the people from the test flight team yelling: "So the new humans rely on doping! This is a little bit different from what we thought!"

"Maybe this is the 'sense of humor' of the 'new humans'!"

Wang Ping'an: "I think that the reason why I am not excited enough is more acceptable to me than to attribute it to 'this is not the real universe' - and it is also more acceptable to everyone."

Eras: "Then just wait a moment, the injection will be delivered right away."

A moment later, Wang Pingan received an injection from the medical team.As soon as the hormone was given off, Wang Ping'an felt an obvious difference, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

He muttered: "It's kind of like that. Hurry up and close the hatch, and hurry up while the effect is still there!"

The doctor looked like he wanted to give some advice, but when he heard what he said, he hurriedly closed the cabin door.

Wang Pingan was breathing rapidly, while pressing the buttons on the control panel nervously—the simulation has not started yet, and these buttons will naturally have no effect.

Nicholas' voice came from the headset: "Then the situation is special, let's omit those and start directly!"

1 minute later.

Wang Ping'an fell on the chair like a deflated ball, and the big red characters in the center of the spherical display even reflected directly on his face.

Angorie took out a handkerchief and wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat on his head.

Wang Pingan: "What's going on? I was obviously very excited just now... Could it really be in the universe, at a critical moment? In fact, I'm not a new human at all, but just an ordinary person whose potential has exploded?"

Angeli: "Isn't it good to be an ordinary person?"

Wang Pingan remained silent.

The voice of the uncle test pilot came from the earphone: "How is it, are you still coming?"

Wang Pingan did not answer immediately.

At this moment, Angorie suddenly removed the earphones and whispered in his ear: "Why don't you try to reverse it and inject a sedative to force yourself to calm down."

Wang Pingan: "What the hell?"

"Maybe if you want to enter that state of harmony between man and nature, what you need is not excitement, but calmness." Angeli continued, the air she exhaled was blowing on Wang Ping'an's earlobe, making it moist and warm.

Wang Pingan: "I'm a materialist, I can't accept this kind of metaphysics..."

"It's not metaphysics, it's psychology. A calm mood can make your subconscious mind play a role. You watch many sports, and athletes need to calm themselves down, such as shooting and archery."

Wang Ping'an's lips twitched, and he nodded: "Okay, let's try it."
