Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1182 - 1102: Moon Landing Roster (Part 2)

This feeling is extremely peculiar, completely different from swimming in water, yet inexplicably somewhat similar.

And he knows this must be the sensation in the weightless environment of space.

Slowly taking off the helmet, he then discovered that the indoor environment had changed, and outside the simulated supermarket was a scene different from Earth.

Moreover, through the round porthole, Earth could be vaguely seen slowly transforming into a sphere.

Of course, this is because the rocket has accelerated.

In other words, the rocket is not proceeding at the actual launch speed; it has sped up the process.

Otherwise, even at the height of the space station, one cannot see a complete round Earth, just a slightly curved horizon.

After all, the actual launch time for the rocket is incredibly long, taking several hours divided over different stages.

But obviously, it is not feasible to simulate for such a long time now, as there are many others waiting for the simulation.

If every minute and second is not seized, it would take a very long time to select 1,000 individuals.

For this reason, the purpose of this simulation is just to test each step, allowing candidates to adapt successfully to every stage to be selected.

After experiencing all of this, Ouyang Lei finally breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling his heartbeat gradually return to its usual pace, which brought him inner joy.

After all, regardless of anything, going to space is everyone’s dream. If he couldn’t go up due to his physical condition being unfit for the environment, it would be a lifelong regret for Ouyang Lei.

Especially under these conditions where the technology is quite mature, who doesn’t want to go up and take a look? Who doesn’t want to land on the moon and have a glance?

That place was the forbidden zone for humans before, a place humans dared not even dream about.

Now with such an opportunity, truth be told, deep down, Ouyang Lei really wants to go up.

And previously, he had mentioned this to Lin Yi more than once.

Though mostly in jest, never really serious.

After all, Ouyang Lei’s status is another matter; he couldn’t easily go anywhere.

His leaving would certainly face many restrictions, and he would have to prepare thoroughly in advance.

This endeavor wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision; in fact, he had been preparing for a long time.

Including who would replace him after his departure, he had already considered and arranged all that, given his family’s position; it was impossible for him to act recklessly.

Since he proposed this idea, there must be deeper meaning behind it.

Finally, after nearly half an hour, the entire spacecraft began to stabilize.

Then followed a series of reverse thrust operations.

Eventually, with a clattering sound, the entire spacecraft surprisingly came to a stop.

At the same time, an announcement began to broadcast the landing notification.

Of course, that wasn’t the end; once the announcement started, Ouyang Lei began to formally test activities in a vacuum environment.

The heavy space suit that was cumbersome on Earth’s surface felt weightless to Ouyang Lei at this moment.

But upon thought, he was at ease, as the environment here was a vacuum state, and even if the suit were multiple times heavier, it could still be wielded easily.

Pushing open a small laboratory door, outside widened considerably.

Of course, this was all within a simulated environment.

Only the field became a bit larger.

And the current simulation was right on the moon’s surface.

As Ouyang Lei stepped out, at once, he felt his steps extending far and his body involuntarily floating up.

Truly, the feeling was wonderfully strange, overall allowing Ouyang Lei to enjoy himself immensely.

Yet just as he was happily playing, he abruptly heard a hissing noise in his ears.

Immediately, his formerly bouncing self suddenly plopped right down, landing smack on the ground.

This time, Ouyang Lei could not react at all.

As he fell, he felt an enormous pressure enveloping his body instantly.

This was the moment gravity returned.

And at that very moment, the old man’s cheerful voice reached Ouyang Lei’s ears:

"Haha, not bad, you managed to hold up, and from your reaction, you didn’t seem to have any problem at all. Looks like you’re a natural astronaut."

Hearing this voice, Ouyang Lei finally came to his senses, knowing that the person outside had turned off the gravity device.

But thinking about this sly move, Ouyang Lei couldn’t help but purse his lips. This old man, he really should have warned in advance, leaving him to land right on his behind, and it did hurt a fair bit.

Even though he grumbled in his heart, he didn’t dare show any complaint on his face. After all, whether he’d make it onto the mission depended on the other person’s assessment.

If they insisted that his physical condition was unsuitable for a moon mission, then all appeals would be futile.

As the old man spoke, someone pushed open the door, and the interior lights were turned on, instantly revealing the scene inside.

All around there were various screens, and on the ground was simulated sand and soil.

Ouyang Lei indeed felt somewhat unsatisfied, smacking his lips as he stepped out.

With the help of staff, the heavy space suit was removed, and immediately, Ouyang Lei felt immensely relaxed.

After all, that space suit was extremely heavy.

However, as soon as the feeling of lightness arose, he felt a slight soreness throughout his bones.

Seeing Ouyang Lei’s expression, the old man chuckled and shook his head:

"You must be feeling sore all over, right? Don’t doubt it, that’s a normal human reaction. Spending long periods in a vacuum will give you much more severe reactions once you’re back.

To be blunt, if you lived in such neutral conditions for a month, you would lose basic walking abilities once you returned.

Of course, this isn’t a permanent condition; recovery and exercise are necessary.

So, do you still want to go up?"

Upon hearing this, while stretching his body, Ouyang Lei jovially nodded:

"What’s with that question? Do you think I give up so easily? Of course I want to go up! It would be a waste not to, given that my physical condition is fit for the mission."

Seeing Ouyang Lei’s determination, the old man could only smile and nod, picking up a document beside him and writing Ouyang Lei’s name on it.

This document recorded the personnel required for the moon landing mission.

Seeing the old man’s action, a relaxed smile finally appeared on Ouyang Lei’s face.

Though he had seemed relaxed and carefree, giving the impression it didn’t matter whether he succeeded or not, only he knew how much his family had mobilized resources and influence for this opportunity.

After all, the importance of the lunar base is self-evident, and one could say it has the potential to control the world’s fate. That’s no exaggeration.

If a specific device were built at the lunar base, it could theoretically influence every corner of the world, couldn’t it?
