Chapter 15 Dancing in the Passage

When Wang Pingan reached the aisle, he was immediately grabbed by Qin Qiong.

"You don't really think that your current situation can be selected for the Centaur project, do you? This project selects people very strictly, especially psychologically. This is to screen out guys who may go crazy on the road and ruin the plan. .”

Wang Ping'an's depression was visible to the naked eye: "I don't want to talk about this now."

Seeing Wang Pingan like this, Qin Qiong was stunned: "Really? You maintained your bastard style when Xiao Fang died, but I thought you were covering up your sadness. In fact, I don't know how many times you cried behind your back." .It was only later that I found out that you were really heartless."

Wang Pingan hesitated to speak, but in the end he only showed a complex smile, with some helplessness: "Yes, I am such a bastard, so Project Centaur kicked me out."

Qin Qiong scratched her head: "You too...don't be so sad, the most critical engine of this plan is still in the laboratory, and the engineering prototype has not even been built, and the design of the spaceship has not even been determined. Years to get it done. You still have a chance."

Wang Pingan looked at Qin Qiong in surprise: "Are you comforting me?"

"I'm fucking comforting you. Why, would you be more comfortable mocking you?"

Wang Pingan: "No, forget it. But being comforted by you is really disgusting."

"Here comes someone who won't make you sick." Qin Qiong patted Wang Ping'an's back hard, making him fly forward, while he flew backward under the reaction.

Wang Pingan looked ahead and found that Angeli was floating towards this side.

And the flying route of the two——

He almost immediately came to the conclusion that he would collide with Angeli, and immediately wanted to throw something to divert the course, but it turned out that he came to the instructor to submit the application, and he didn't bring any large objects.

The weight of a person is so big, throwing a hat and a mobile phone can't change the flight path much——

So Wang Pingan decided to change his flying posture. Since the collision cannot be avoided, he should use the softest part of his body to reduce the damage to the girl——

He had barely adjusted his posture when the impact happened.

Because Angorie also adjusted her posture and used the part with the most fat for the impact, the situation became very strange.

Wang Ping'an: "Well, I don't have any heavy objects on my body, and it's really hard to throw it with my hands so swollen. Why don't you throw things to adjust the direction?"

Angeli: "Which eye of yours sees something that can be thrown on me? Forget it, blame me, I didn't float against the wall according to the regulations."

In fact, the internal passages of the ship are not very wide, and you can usually grab the handle next to it, but the nearest handle is on the far side passage just before the collision.

Such a handle setting is prepared for the crew to advance along the Z-shaped route.

During the conversation, Wang Ping'an and An Geli had separated because of the elasticity of the fat.

Wang Pingan flexibly turned his body and grabbed An Geli's hand. Then the two of them moved their bodies tacitly and spun around in the air, allowing the girl's hand to touch the handle on the wall smoothly.

As soon as Angeli exerted force, Wang Ping'an also floated towards the wall, but he supported it with his hands in advance.

Wang Pingan: "The series of movements we just performed seem to be all space ballroom dancing movements."

"You danced well, Lieutenant." Angeli gave a thumbs up, "But just now I heard you and Captain Qin talking about the Centaur project?"

"Oh, you're new to the Space Force, so I don't know. This is a plan to fly to Centaur to find the Trisolarans. To build a spaceship that can travel to one-tenth the speed of light, it will take 400 years to fly there. Go centaur."

Angeli: "Is this... Delta enough? How big is the fuel tank?"

"That's why we need to develop a new engine. That engine is now in the laboratory. There is only a proof-of-concept prototype, not even a prototype, let alone an engineering prototype."

"Is that so...then...is this Xiaofang's wish?" Angeli asked.

"No, this is my wish." Wang Ping'an replied firmly, "When she died, the plan was still in the early stage of demonstration, and it was not made public. But I think she will try to sign up when she lives to announce the plan. After all That is the first step for mankind to move towards the real Galactic Federation!"

Saying that, Wang Pingan stopped, cleared his throat, and then said in the voice of an old movie narrator: "The universe is the last frontier of mankind."

Angeli: "It seems to be the opening line of the movie and series Star Trek?"

"Yes. I grew up thinking that opening line was so good, there was no way I would have missed Project Centaur."

"Then have you ever thought about being a model soldier?" Angeli asked.

Wang Pingan: "I tried. After the announcement of the Centaur Project and the open recruitment of members, I tried to be a model soldier for six months."

"What's the result?" Angeli asked.

"Don't you know what I look like now?"

"I want to know how it failed." Angeli refused to budge.

Wang Pingan looked at the girl, staring at her light-colored pupils through the glasses: "Has anyone ever told you that you are very stubborn in strange places?"

"It's written in my psychological evaluation report." Angeli replied, "So how did the six-month model soldier career end?"

"I encountered common faults during the voyage. I was checking step by step according to the operating procedures, and suddenly I got annoyed. I used a wrench to repair the fault. So the psychiatrist said that I had mania, and I admitted it.

"After the voyage, the engineering department found the traces of my banging, and then inspected the interior, and found that the internal structure was damaged, and it was only because of a wonderful coincidence that things still worked.

"The engineering department described it to me at the time: This is like a code mountain that has gone through countless iterations. Everyone knows that it is full of loopholes. No one knows how it can run, but it can run."

Ange Li stared at Wang Ping'an: "When you were training, the maintenance followed the procedure."

"Yeah, it's not for getting A. What if you look down on me if you don't get A?"

Angeli: "Do you still care about this?"

"I still have the self-esteem of a man anyway. And look, repairing machinery is something a man should be good at. If it's embroidery or something like that, you can just pass it if you get armor, right?"

Angeli: "According to what you said, I'm still putting pressure on you?"

"That's not too bad, because getting full armor is not difficult in itself, it's just annoying."

Angeli said "Oh" and asked again: "So, are you going to continue applying for the Centaur Project?"

"Of course, as long as this plan doesn't stop recruiting for a day, I will continue to apply. Even if I am an alternate! I definitely don't want to die in the solar system, just like a sailor doesn't want to die in bed!"

Angeli: "Then you still continue to try to be a model soldier? Why do you think you can succeed?"

Wang Pingan: "...Maybe you can trust the results of the supercomputer?"

He looked at Angeli. At this distance, the girl's pretty face was as beautiful as a work of art. The key point was that this guy hadn't been adjusted, let alone plastic surgery, not even cosmetics.

Just at this moment, a few male soldiers passed by the aisle, and they were startled when they saw this scene: "They are standing on the wall outside the instructor's office? Wow, you are so courageous..."

"Don't you know? The man was cleaning the manure pipes and the woman was cleaning the deck..."

Wang Pingan pushed the wall lightly, slowly moving himself away from Angeli, ending the wall-dong state.

But Angeli was talking about what happened just now: "I think relying on supercomputers alone can only make you no longer depressed and manic. It can't change your nature. That is to say, your diagnosis will no longer be popular, but Not the model soldier that Project Centaur would choose you for."

Wang Pingan: "I probably guessed that this is the case, but there is another way. That is to get the Human Praise Medal. There will be many potential benefits after getting the medal. If one medal is not enough, take two."

At this time, Wang Ping'an had already floated to the other side of the aisle. He touched the wall with his back, bounced up and floated slowly towards Angeli.

Angeli suddenly smiled: "Then you can't do without the help of my partner, let's take it together, and head to Centaur together!"

Wang Pingan: "Okay, come on! High five!"

He raised his hand, and found that his hand was swollen, a whole circle bigger than Angeli's hand. It seemed a bit funny to clap in this state——

But Angeli patted the bulkhead behind her lightly, floated towards Wang Ping'an, and put her palm together on Wang Ping'an's big hand.

The girl smiled, brighter than before.

The next second, the problem happened, both of them were drifting towards each other, although not fast.

The two people's hands are touching, but their hands are raised, and the moment is above the center of gravity. According to simple physics rules, the center of gravity of the two of them is still approaching, but the axis of the body has rotated——

So the two collided, this time face to face.

Wang Pingan finally understood what his hip hit just now, it was indeed very elastic.

Just at this time, the door of the instructor's office opened, and the instructor floated out, looking down at the tablet.After noticing someone in the corridor, he looked up.

"You two... really don't take military regulations seriously."

Wang Pingan: "We were just talking, this is an accident, you can watch the surveillance."

Angeli: "Yes, we really wronged us this time."

The instructor didn't even look at Wang Ping'an, but stared at An Geli for a few seconds, and finally decided to trust the girl's words: "Since you are so persistent, then I will adjust the monitoring, but how long are you two going to continue posting?"

Wang Ping'an and An Geli hurriedly pushed each other and separated.

After a while, the instructor said: "Looking at the monitoring is indeed an accident, and it seems that the ideological work you do with each other is quite effective?"

Angeli: "I have taken psychology as an elective."

"That's it, okay, let's go back. By the way, Wang Ping'an, don't forget to write something."

"Understood! Guaranteed to complete the task."

After saluting, the two turned and left.

After drawing a certain distance, Angeli asked in a low voice, "What are you writing?"

"Summary the performance of the iron bucket in the previous rescue, and put forward suggestions for improvement. It is very important, so I will dictate in the room tonight and let the computer record it. You can participate in the learning activities tonight."

"to make."

"It's probably a movie. You can go watch it with the three girls who came to eat with us in the cafeteria today. They are actually pretty nice."

Angelie: "..."
