Chapter 317: Daniel Taught Himself

In the base shooting range.

Li Changheng's 6-inch barrel Colt carved boa constrictor has a unique dull gunshot sound. He only heard 3 or even 2 shots from 6 shots in the shooting range from time to time.

The speed with which the gun was drawn and fired, the only trenches and Barney who were watching him were stunned.

Then Barney had the idea of ​​practicing rapid fire himself.

With this ready-made example, let Barney know that as long as he works hard, he can do it.

And with this ability, when facing multiple enemies, it is also considered a life-saving trump card.

But Li Changheng didn't hit a two-meter target, but shot at a distance of ten meters.

After hitting six targets with at least 8 rings, Barney lost his confidence.

If the 8th ring is relative to the human body, it is aimed at the heart, at least it can hit the edge of the heart.

That is to say, unless they are wearing body armor, the six enemies may be shot and fall to the ground without reacting.

After being hit by a .44 caliber Magnum bullet, no one can run for dozens of meters with their wounds covered in the movie, and fight back vigorously.

If the magnum bomb penetrates the body directly, it is actually considered lucky, at least there is hope of survival.

But if it hits a bone, it will roll in the human body.

The internal organs are stirred like a ball of mud, and they will bleed to death within a few minutes.

Therefore, when there are more than three enemies, what Li Changheng pursues is not to kill with one shot.

Instead, shoot a shot at the heart, and then hide in the dark to find a chance to make up the shot, or watch the opponent die from internal bleeding.

Practicing guns is actually very boring.

Not to mention, he still used the number of bullets to pile up the instinct to draw a gun quickly.

The faster the ammunition is consumed, the simpler, more direct, and more tiring and mentally draining the practice.

By the way, also practice fast ejection and reloading.

The next day, I went to the air force base to submit the application, and confirmed that I would have a physical examination on the 23rd, and after the load test on the 24th, Li Changheng would stay at the base for training and gun practice.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 23rd, when I drove to the base hospital, I not only saw Admiral Kenny Robin, but also unexpectedly found Forrest Gump with a thin face.

It's the one of the two Toms, the one who wins the prize and gets soft.

"Henry, let me introduce you."

Kenny smiled and pointed at Forrest Gump, who was wearing an air force uniform, and his rank was colonel.

"This is Jim Norville, commander of the Apollo 13 spacecraft."

One heard that Forrest Gump was the commander of Apollo 13.

Li Changheng stretched out his hand in great joy and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Nowell, you and the other two astronauts are real heroes."

Would say that, aside from really admiring the astronaut who escaped safely from space.

Also because it's tantamount to finding a shortcut to getting on Apollo 14.

Li Changheng, who has read the information, knows that Jim Nowell has the nickname "Encyclopedia of Instructions" among astronauts.

The only astronaut who memorized more than 1,200 instructions.

Moreover, as the pilot and commander, he has experienced Gemini 7, Gemini 12 orbiting the earth, and Apollo 8 into space three times.

Among them, Apollo 8 was a mission to orbit the moon, and because of the failure of Apollo 13 in April, it became the only tragic figure who entered lunar orbit twice but failed to land on the moon.

Moreover, he was originally the commander of the No. 14 spacecraft, but because of the inner ear of the No. 13 commander, there was a problem.

The people of the space agency promoted him to the No. 13 spacecraft from among the five commanders.

Then there were two trips into lunar orbit.

As long as he can get Jim's full teaching, Li Changheng believes that he can definitely copy all the knowledge related to astronauts in his head.

Then, just like Jim, because of his proficiency in instructions, he copied his experience from Apollo 14 to 13 as the commander.

Win out from more than a dozen astronauts and become the Commander of Spaceship 14.

The Apollo spacecraft had three crew members.

Commander, Command Module Pilot and Lunar Module Pilot.

Those who can really enter the moon are the commander and the lunar module pilot.

The command module pilot has to stay in the command module, fly around the moon, and wait for the lunar module to fly out of the moon.

The commander-in-chief is a special title for astronauts, which roughly means the leader and person in charge of a specific flight crew.

Literally means captain.

Responsible for the arrangement, implementation, flight command, communication and flight safety of flight missions, and sometimes also serves as the pilot.

Looking at the job title, you can know that the commander is definitely the one with the most knowledge and experience among the three astronauts.

Kenny patted Li Changheng's arm with a smile, "Henry, Jim is the teacher I found for you after a lot of connections.

And I also promised him, as long as he is willing to teach you, whether you can board the Apollo 14 spacecraft or not.

They will give him a job with an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars, a decent job that can take care of the family.

So, at this point, it must not be a problem for you, right? "

This year's annual salary of 50,000 US dollars is equal to 7 times the average annual salary in New York, and it is definitely considered a high-income group.

However, for someone like Jim, this salary is not only not high, but rather low.

Perhaps if there is no requirement to take care of the family, this guy will not be short of a family at all.

Not right either.

Li Changheng thought of the American astronauts who landed on the moon, a total of 12 people.

But not everyone in the world's highest-level 12-man club has a happy ending.

Because of their sudden fame and the supersensory psychological impact caused by the moon landing, all 12 people entered a period of psychological recovery ranging from a few years to more than ten years.

Some people drink too much, some people are in negative emotions for a long time, and even have a nervous breakdown.

Of course, there are also people who have stepped out of their psychological shadows and have achieved good results in business or politics.

In fact, to put it bluntly, these 12 people are also human beings, but they have left the fighter jets and the astronaut career, and they are just ordinary normal people.

Faced with the sudden huge attention, and the huge psychological gap that was soon forgotten after becoming famous.

Of course, some people find themselves, and some people get lost.

After chatting with Jim for a while, Li Changheng saw that his expression was always a little nervous.

He immediately understood the helplessness of the middle-aged man in front of him.

It can be said that regardless of whether the Apollo 13 flight failed or not, from the moment he returned to the earth, he was unemployed.

Even if he returned to the Air Force and continued to serve as a test pilot, Jim, who was 42 years old at this time, could no longer make his wife and children worry about his work.

And if he retires at the age of 42, and the service period does not exceed 20 years, he will be unlucky.

Retirement pay is 0.4 of the final three-year average.

Then because he was an officer, he retired before the age of 62, which was tantamount to early retirement.

The pension has to be multiplied by 0.7

According to the salary of the American colonel in this era, it should be about 13,000 per year at this time, multiplied by 0.4, and then multiplied by 0.7.

$3,640 is only half of the average annual salary in New York.
