48 Hours a Day

Life at Lewis Flight Power Lab is probably the simplest part of Zhang Heng's copy. The people in the lab are the purest and most fanatical researchers, apart from the blonde beauty, Jim, who manpower and administrator and runs peeling budgets to Congress every day. Plus, there are no mainline tasks and no existential threats in the transition script, so Zhang Heng's life is also simple.

Follow Wu Zhonghua every day to learn engineering knowledge, in addition to the internship salary to invite airport pilots to the nearby bar nightclub Hi Pee, Zhang Heng successfully boarded the plane in the second month, and in the fourth month he smoothly touched T-33, as a passenger felt a subsonic flight, so it was not far from the sky that he drove alone.

However, at this time, Wu Zhonghua made a resignation request with NACA, declaring that he preferred the school's living environment. The next stop was to go to Brooklyn Polytechnic University in New York to become a professor. The matter even struck NACA Chairman Glennan, who saved the people at the lab after the failure to hold a small reception for Wu Zhonghua.

Zhang Heng did not attend the reception, but drove the borrowed Chevrolet to the station when Wu Zhonghua and his wife left.

He was one of the few people who guessed Wu Zhonghua's true intentions. Although Wu Zhonghua stayed in the lab to his advantage, and technically it was just a game, no matter where he was, where he was in time, how many times he went through rounds, someone would still make the same choice.

So Zhang Heng did not persuade Wu Zhonghua to stay.

Besides, Wu Zhonghua has already helped him a lot. Although he is still no better than the same batch of authentic MIT graduates graduating from engineering departments, after all, after more than four months, he has started his engineering skills and is familiar with Wu Zhonghua in the research part. Similar to collecting data, there is nothing wrong with filling such things in ready-made models. Even if someone takes over Wu Zhonghua's work, he can continue to stay in the lab to touch fish.

…………

The train carrying Wu Zhonghua and his wife went away. Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to return to the laboratory. I heard that the engineer who took over Wu Zhonghua's work was from Langley Laboratory. The other party won't arrive until tomorrow. Therefore, Zhang Heng and the other female assistant were fine until then. Therefore, Zhang Heng was on vacation. Zhang Heng drove the borrowed car for a leisure in Cleveland.

He bought two Patty Peggy vinyl records, a hamburger and a Mexican taco, and accidentally lit up an achievement and scored three points, then he fed a dove in the city park and rushed back to the lab before sunset, and as a result, he got out of the car and was pulled over by a blonde in a flash of fire.

“Great, the lab recruited a new pilot, he's already here, sitting in the hallway on the ground floor, but there's an emergency over at the congress, and I'm on my way with Mr. Jim, so I'm gonna ask you to show him around the airport and the lab first. ”

Her speech was fast, while speaking, she also stuffed a large pile of documents into Zhang Heng's arms, "Also, please hand these things over to Dr. Maggie for me. ”

As she spoke, the Black Jaguar XK120 in the distance was constantly honking.

The blonde gave Zhang Heng a flying kiss, "I'll buy you and coffee the day after tomorrow, that's the deal.” Without waiting for Zhang Heng to answer, he pulled his skirt and stepped on his high heels and ran to the car.

Zhang Heng somehow became a receptionist in the lab and came to the hallway with that pile of things. There was already a man sitting in a chair waiting for him.

He doesn't look too old, he's only in his early twenties, but unlike other young people of this age, he has an innate sense of quiet, like he's always thinking about something, and he's showing a soldier's temperament when he raises his hand.

Not surprisingly, many of the test pilots recruited in the lab were of military origin.

When Zhang Heng walked in, he behaved politely and stood up from the position.

“Hi, I'm David. I'm an intern at the lab. You're the new test pilot, Jane. Let me show you where you're going. ”

“Thank you," the man said, reaching out at the same time, "Neil Alden Armstrong, a former Navy pilot. ”

His voice was steady and firm.

Zhang Heng and his other hand held a pause.

“What's the matter? ”

“Nothing. Nice to meet you, Mr. Armstrong.” Zhang Hengdao.

“Me too. ”

“If you don't mind, I'll send these documents to Dr. Maggie before we start our tour. ”

Armstrong nodded.

Zhang Heng did not expect to meet the moon's first man, Armstrong, in 1955. Speaking of which, he did work as a test pilot in a NACA lab. At that time, Mr. Astronaut looked exceptionally young. In terms of time, he should still be 25 years old. After finishing his naval service, he returned to complete his university education on campus, but did not have a master's degree in aeronautical engineering.

In future generations, he has been very low-key since the success of his ascent to the moon. He has taught in college, lived a life of seclusion, barely received media interviews, and never wrote his autobiography. Many do not know that Armstrong did not take photographs of himself on the moon. The widely circulated ascent to the moon actually belongs to his teammate Buzz Aldrin, and now we can barely see Armstrong in the reflection of his helmet, and the famous ascent to the moon footprint, also from Buzz Aldrin.

Unlike his brilliant teammate, Armstrong is a very modest, low-key person, especially when he's young, and probably only someone he's met knows about it.

However, Zhang Heng was more interested in Amstrang's aircraft driving technology, which is said to have earned him a pilot's license when he was 16 years old, as well as more than 200 different models of aircraft he had flown before joining NASA, which is an important reason why NASA chose him to become an astronaut.

It is only unclear whether this encounter in 1955 will affect another copy after 14 years.

After sending the file to Dr. Maggie, Zhang Heng returned to Armstrong, "So, did you just come to Cleveland? ”

“Yeah, I filed an application with the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edward Air Force Base, but there were no places available, so I was arranged here.” Armstrong said.

“In that case, let's have a drink after the tour. ”
