September 3rd.

Huaguo, Hexi Province, Jiuquan City.

In the desolate Gobi Desert.

Astronaut and space activity personnel training base.

This was originally the most mysterious area in Huaguo, with the highest level of secrecy, and the most difficult area for ordinary people to enter. Anyone who wandered around the base would probably be arrested by soldiers for questioning.

But now, the confidentiality level of the base has dropped, and ordinary people can enter and visit it casually.

You can even pay to sign up and participate in the training to enter space. After you get the certificate, you can get the qualification to enter space activities.

Last year, nearly 50,000 people participated in the training at the base, this year it is expected to exceed 150,000, and next year there is a high probability that it will exceed 300,000.

Before 2026, at the base, the Huaguo Space Administration has trained a total of less than 100 astronauts, whether they have entered space or not, in the 40 to 50 years. The cost of cultivation exceeds hundreds of millions, which is far more than the gold equivalent to their weight. Naturally, they will attach great importance to these precious bumps and strictly keep them secret and protected.

But now?

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people have to be trained a year, so there is naturally no need for excessive secrecy, and it doesn't make much sense.

As for the difficulty of the training courses, it has also been greatly reduced. In the past, only the top students could pass. Now, as long as the physical fitness is up to standard, the culture test and skill test are probably not much more difficult than the driver's license test.

That is to say, in just one or two years, the threshold for becoming an astronaut or space activist has changed from elite to popular, and there is not much threshold.

Early this morning, in the VIP campus with the best training conditions in the training base.

On the long runway that circles the school.

Zhang Jianxiong, 42 years old this year, a middle-aged man with a square face, is leading dozens of team members for a five-kilometer long-distance running training.

After running in the morning, I had breakfast.

In the morning, there are training courses for various scientific theory courses, and the courses are intensive and there are many knowledge points. You have to keep in mind that not many can get excellent marks in the exam.

But Zhang Jianxiong can get more than 80 points in every subject.

In the afternoon, the physical exercise continued, including muscle exercises, anti-vertigo exercises, weight training, swimming pool simulated weightlessness training, etc. Although Zhang Jianxiong is over 40 years old, due to his good habit of exercising all the year round, his physical fitness is no worse than that of young people, and he has learned more than ten years. In the years of boxing, few people were his opponents.

In the evening, there were still two scientific theory classes to be held, but after returning to the dormitory and taking a shower, most of the students, including Zhang Jianxiong, did not go to bed until at least 10:30.

Repeatedly the next day.

There is only a half day off on Sundays.

And this kind of learning and training has lasted for three months, and the progress of the training has already passed halfway. In about two months, Zhang Jianxiong and other students will be able to complete the course. After taking the final exam and getting a passing score, they can get permission to enter space. Qualify for a variety of space careers.

At 10:30 in the evening, today's learning task is completed.

Just before going to bed.

Zhang Jianxiong picked up his mobile phone, called his parents at home, and chatted about some topics.

In addition to caring about the health of the elderly, he is also very concerned about the study and living conditions of his 14-year-old son Zhang Haitao.

And when he heard the sound of the TV on the other side of the phone, Zhang Jianxiong knew that his son was still watching TV at such a late hour. Ask him to go to bed quickly, because he has to go to school tomorrow, and he will not be able to get up in the morning if he goes to bed too late.

"I don't need you to worry about it. I'll fall asleep after watching it for a while. You can just earn money outside. Anyway, I don't have money as important." Son Zhang Haitao said with a rebellious attitude.

"Why did you talk to me? If I were in front of you, I would have beaten you by now." Zhang Jianxiong said with bulging veins on his forehead.

"Beat, you can beat me up as you like, and when you come back from a business trip, you can control me as you like. Anyway, I don't see you a few times a year, and my mother is gone. I usually play whatever I want. When you come back, I will play again." Be obedient." Son Zhang Haitao said in a childlike tone.

"Are you still angry about my divorce from your mother?"

Zhang Jianxiong said helplessly: "I explained to you that I was out on a boat to make money, but your mother cheated on other men and had children with other men... She betrayed me and this family! She and that The wild man is sitting on my head and shit, you shouldn't hate me."

That's right.

Zhang Jianxiong's previous job was a seaman. He has been at sea for nearly 20 years. Because of his outstanding ability, he became a captain at the age of 30, with an annual salary of one million. Although he spends most of the year at sea, he is with his family. Gather less and leave more, but with a good income and treatment, you can maintain a fairly happy family.

But he did not expect that the hellish joke of "Captain Lao Huang went to sea for 18 months, and his wife gave birth to a fat boy" would happen to him. Last year, his 36-year-old wife cheated on him while he was at sea. I wanted to go home early and give her a surprise, but found that she had a big belly, so I gave myself a surprise...

Then there were lawsuits, divorce, and property distribution. After nearly a year of tossing, I lost my job as a captain, and I managed to straighten out my life.

I also found myself in my early 40s, standing at a crossroads in my life, facing a serious mid-life crisis, and my son, who was brought up by his ex-wife since childhood, was not close to me, refused to obey discipline, had difficulty communicating, and was very rebellious.

Only by changing jobs, spending more time with his parents and son, and communicating more, can the son understand himself better, instead of knowing that his mother cheated, he still tends to his mother, wants to live with his mother, and complains to him.

But such jobs are hard to find, and the wages are not high, so they cannot maintain a relatively high standard of living.

It happened that some time ago, Xingyuan Group recruited special talents from the society. He tried it and passed it. His ten years of experience as a captain brought him an advantage in experience and made him stand out.

In addition, he is quite capable of leadership, the oldest, and the most hardworking, so he was appointed as the captain without much controversy. There is also a private rumor that his surname is Zhang Jianxiong, and the mother of the boss Li Xingyang is also surnamed Zhang , and they are all from Suhong City, there may be relatives in it, which is also the reason why the position of captain fell into his hands.

It's a bit off.

But no matter what, after Zhang Jianxiong found this new job, it was different from the job he expected to stay in Suhong City. On the third day after he joined the job, he traveled all the way to Jiuquan City, leaving home for another business trip.

He wanted to be with his family very much, but he really didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he came here anyway. It was only natural for a son without parental discipline to become more and more rebellious and disobedient.

"Son, I'm going to pick a star from the sky after a while. If you are sensible and obedient, I will give you a stone on the star. If you are not obedient, I will end my business trip and the first thing I will do when I get home is to send you Ass sucks. You are a 14-year-old adult, you can have your own ideas, but you better be smart and listen to your grandparents..."

Zhang Jianxiong warned again.

"Oh, I see..." Zhang Haitao yawned, wondering if he listened.

The two ended the call.

Why.

Zhang Jianxiong who was sitting by the bed shook his head helplessly and sighed.

...

The next day, September 4th.

The group sent a high-level representative over and brought two important news.

First, the completion of the mining spacecraft "Zhantian" has reached 100%, and it can take off at any time for testing. As long as there are no major hidden dangers, it can set sail and start space fishing missions.

So the pressure came to Zhang Jianxiong and other 50 trainees who participated in the relevant training.

The high-level representatives asked them: Is it possible to complete all the training courses in advance within ten days, and then conduct an assessment, select 30 people from the 50 people to participate in the implementation of the "Platinum Miners Plan", and around September 20th, they will be Control the mining spaceship, go straight to the 1973X6 platinum comet, and execute the plan in advance?

Listen to what the representative said.

Zhang Jianxiong and other 50 students immediately had their eyes lit up and were extremely excited.

"I don't think there is any problem. There is no need for further training. We have already learned a lot of knowledge. The only difference is practice."

"Participating in one mission is definitely more effective than training for three to five years!"

"That's right, we're ready and ready to go!"

"Stop wasting time and go catch the big fish ahead of time."

All the students were very excited, all of them were gearing up and couldn't wait. (end of this chapter)
