It was said that in a second, a cheetah could run 28 meters on the grassland, a hummingbird could flap its wings 55 times, a glacier in Greenland could melt 1,620 cubic meters, and the earth could revolve 29.8 kilometers around the sun …
However, Zhen Xiong did not know if a person's temperament could change to a considerable extent in a second, not to mention that the blink of an eye was less than a second.
If Zhang Heng's body exuded a dangerous aura before, it had now become so faint that it was almost undetectable.
Zhen Xiong could not help but wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes.
However, temperament was something that was purely perceptual, and it was difficult to quantify. Even if Zhen Xiong was puzzled, she could not find the reason behind it. After that, Zhang Heng did not look at the clock on the wall again. With the help of his trainer, he successfully completed his first spacesuit training.
Throughout the entire process, Zhang Heng behaved calmly. No one knew that he had just spent 240 days in the United States in the 1950s. When the training ended, Zhang Heng clicked on his character panel, and he could clearly see the changes.
Name: Zhang Heng
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Player ID: 07958
Rounds played: 4
Current game points: 737
Items in possession: Paris Arrow (D), Evil Wall (D), Shadow Key (E), Lucky Rabbit's Foot (E), Betty's Shell (E), Hunter's Blessing (F)
Skills: Sailing Lv.3, Swordsmanship Lv.3, Language Proficiency Lv.2 (eight languages at daily communication level), Archery Lv.2, Wilderness Survival Lv.2, Driving Lv.2, Marksmanship Lv.2, Engineering Lv.1, Piloting Lv.1, Piano Lv.1, Car Modification and Maintenance Lv.2, Skiing Lv.1, Rock Climbing Lv.1
Evaluation: The player has slightly higher luck and chance of encountering enemies than the average person. He is protected by shadows, storms, and evil thoughts. At the same time, he has excellent sailing experience, is good with knives, arrows, and firearms, can drive cars, airplanes, and can survive in the wild. He has a rich repertoire of skills, and possesses a considerable degree of combat effectiveness. Worthy of continued attention.
In terms of items, [Shadow Moment], which had been with him for a long time, had been used up during the fight against Zavilcha. In its place were the newly acquired [Evil Wall] and [Betty's Shell]. Both of them had a certain escape effect, but they had their own limitations. All in all, it was an upgrade.
In terms of skills, Zhang Heng had made the most progress. After 3,900 days on Black Sail, he finally had Lv.3 skills, and he had two of them — sailing and swordsmanship. As the Pirate King who dominated the seven seas, these two skills were essential. With a little training, Zhang Heng could even consider competing for his country in the sailing events of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Apart from that, he spent most of his time learning languages. From English, Chinese, and Japanese, he now knew eight languages. Although it was still just a drop in the ocean in the world's languages, it was already quite a large area. This would also ensure that he would not encounter communication problems in future dungeons.
That was about all Zhang Heng had gained before he entered the Apollo training camp.
The Lv.1 Engineering and Piloting skills on the skill panel were obtained from the transition quest that he had just completed. Other than that, there were Lv.0 Aerodynamics Physics and Materials Science, which were not shown on the panel. Not to mention the unexpected 42 game points that he had earned.
On top of that, due to the increase in theoretical knowledge, his Modification and Maintenance skills had leveled up from Lv.1 to Lv.2, which was a pleasant surprise.
Although the system prevented him from killing other players in the still world, the 240-day preparation period still gave him a huge lead over the other players. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for anyone in the training camp to surpass him in results.
Of course, the ones who boarded Apollo 11 in the end might not necessarily be the three with the best results.
Players were never people who would passively accept the results. When the results were disadvantageous to them, they would definitely choose other means to change the rules of the game.
Even Jia Lai, who seemed to be the weakest among them, would never sit still and wait for death. Every player, including Zhang Heng, knew this very well. Since everyone had just entered the dungeon, the peace was still maintained for the time being. However, when the results of the first round of tests were released, this temporary peace would be broken.
The first spacesuit training session ended at 11: 30 am sharp. Although it was more enjoyable than physical training, the amount of exercise was almost the same. Carrying a weight of nearly 70 pounds, every simple movement consumed a lot of energy. By the time they took off their spacesuits, all the players were sweating profusely. However, they didn't have time to take a shower. After lunch, they rested for a short while and immediately entered into light diving training.
The environment in space was very different from that on Earth. The biggest difference was gravity. Gravity was everywhere on Earth, and any creature that lived on Earth would find it difficult to escape its shackles. Therefore, to simulate the environment in space, one had to find a way to counteract the effects of gravity.
Black technology such as anti-gravity laboratories often appeared in sci-fi movies and novels. Unfortunately, it didn't exist in reality.
NASA could use a large plane (Vomit Comet) to create tens of seconds of weightlessness by flying in a parabola, allowing the astronauts on the plane to train. This was also the closest environment to space on Earth, but the duration was too short. Every time they dove, they would have to climb back up again, which was quite troublesome.
Because of the buoyancy in the water, some of the gravity could be offset, allowing people to experience weightlessness in advance on Earth. However, compared to the real environment in space, there were still some differences.
The human body's sense of gravity was produced by the otoliths in the inner eardrum. Although the body would float in the water, the otoliths would still withstand gravity. Therefore, in the water, it wouldn't affect people's sense of direction. In space, however, the otoliths would also lose gravity, and the astronauts' sense of direction would be messed up.
But for now, this is the best simulation NASA can find to simulate the environment in space.
Unlike the other players, this training was Zhang Heng's forte. Although he had never practiced diving, when he was stranded on a deserted island in his first quest, he tried diving to gather food by the beach. After that, he spent half of his ten years in Black Sail at sea. To him, returning to the water was like returning home.
