Chapter 295 Shock

The captain was still worried that these newcomer candidate astronauts would be shaken and psychologically shadowed after witnessing their companions die in front of him, but judging from the evaluation results, he seemed to be over-concerned this time.

Considering the time constraints, everyone resumed training in the afternoon.

According to the original arrangement, flight training followed immediately after the lunar landing machine training, but this time was different from the past, there was no instructor sitting behind them to guide them.

After more than a month of intense training, the trainees are about to usher in their first solo flight.

NASA has always attached great importance to flight lessons, calling it "space preparation training". The situation of pilots and spacecraft pilots has many things in common, such as the need to constantly judge the current safety situation and task priority in the sky. , weather conditions, fuel levels and flight routes... and then make various decisions in a short period of time based on the collected intelligence.

Once the aircraft fails or other emergencies, the pilots must make correct responses, and they all need to use the radio to keep in touch with the ground control center.

Therefore, flight training has always been the top priority in training, and it is also the training that players spend the most time and energy on.

However, not long after the "accident" in the morning, the murderer has not been found out, and even NASA's accident appraisal report has not come out. Everyone can only guess what caused the crash of the lunar landing training plane and the strong man named Anthony on it. what is it.

The most important thing is that no one knows how the other party did it.

Except for the young man who was accused of sneaking out at night, none of them seemed to have left the space center. In normal times, everyone was almost active together. It stands to reason that no one had come into contact with the lunar landing training machine in advance.

During the training, Anthony was the first to climb up. At that time, the other players were standing next to the captain, because Zhang Heng's score was basically locked in the first place, and he didn't focus all his attention on the moon landing training. On the plane, I still spent some energy on other people, but during this period, no one showed any obvious abnormalities.

Supernatural power?

Considering that all the players who enter the dungeon are players, the possibility of carrying game items is very high. This is the most reasonable explanation at present, but in this way, there are many possibilities.

Zhang Heng can understand why the middle-aged man who looks like an intellectual wants to find the murderer so much, because if this matter is not resolved, everyone will have a sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.

However, as long as the main task is not completed, everyone can only continue to bite the bullet and train.

…………

After all, a major accident just happened, and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base is also very nervous. The jet plane used for this training has also been checked several times by the ground crew to ensure that there are no mechanical failures.

Zhang Heng put on a special flight suit, put on a helmet and an oxygen mask, and sat in the cockpit. For other players, this may indeed be the first time to fly alone. However, he has flown solo many times in the previous transition instance. , In fact, when training with T-38 before, the flight instructor sitting in the back has been full of praise for his performance.

Zhang Heng lv1's aircraft piloting skills may not be comparable to professional pilots, but they are enough to cope with the current dungeon, especially after strengthening and consolidating during this period of time, all he lacks is flying experience.

The young people and high school students in the front row have all completed flight training, which also makes the remaining players put their minds back a little bit.

Zhang Heng was the third person to conduct the training. He fastened his seat belt, pulled out the safety pin of the ejection seat, turned on the head-up display, the bottom display, and the corresponding switches, and connected the aircraft's radar and flight control respectively. , communication system, engine system, start the APU and engine, check the instrument panel, and confirm that everything is good.

Then he gestured OK to the ground crew outside, who helped him remove the ladder and wheel chocks, and unplug the power. Zhang Heng released the handbrake and let the plane taxi out of the hangar and onto the runway.

There was still wind in the afternoon, but the weather was much better than in the morning. The most important thing was that the sun was clear and it was still very suitable for flying.

At 13:45, Zhang Heng talked with the control tower and requested to take off. After getting approval, he pushed the accelerator on his left hand to the maximum, accelerating the aircraft to 220 kilometers per hour, and then pulled the joystick back to complete a beautiful lift-off.

The plane left the ground smoothly. Zhang Heng glanced at the attitude indicator, confirmed the elevation and slope of the nose, and flew towards the mission target point.

This training required him to find a frigate named Miller at sea, and then return.

The task content is not too complicated, especially for Zhang Heng, he just needs to be careful not to miss the target, and after confirming that everything is normal, he even has time to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

I have to admit that this game has indeed changed him in many ways.

If it were half a year ago, no matter how crazy he was, he would never have thought of what would happen today. You must know that even if he is a rich and rich second generation, he would only stop at the excitement of racing outside the fifth ring road and fantasizing that he was Takumi Fujiwara. Flying a fighter jet over the territorial waters of the United States.

At 13:52, Zhang Heng talked to the control tower for the second time and reported his flight altitude and Mach number. At the same time, he also checked the fuel level of the plane. Everything was still as usual, but the sun outside the window was a bit dazzling.

It took Zhang Heng less than ten minutes to find the target frigate. At 13:59, he had a third call with the control tower. After confirming that the mission had been completed, Zhang Heng turned around and returned.

However, he only flew for four and a half minutes, and the fuselage suddenly began to tremble violently. Zhang Heng saw the engine on the left side of the fighter jet burst into flames through the glass of the cockpit, accompanied by billowing thick smoke.

Immediately, a shrill siren sounded in his ears, and at the same time, the voice of the tower commander came from the communication channel, "David, what happened?"

"I may have hit something, a seagull or something else." Zhang Heng said, and at the same time shut down the burning engine immediately.

"Can you fly back, David?"

Zhang Heng looked at the altimeter on the dashboard that kept falling, "Let me try it."

Zhang Heng has remained calm until now. He and Armstrong have practiced how to deal with this situation in the transition copy. However, he has just controlled the flight state and has not had time to pull the fuselage up. There was also a loud bang from the engine.

The fighter lost all momentum in just half a minute.
