Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 90 Tempering (Please subscribe!!)

Under immense overload pressure, Jiang Yang felt his entire body being compressed.

The bones and muscles ached as if they were being torn apart, and the blood seemed to be squeezed out of the head, making it so that even though I could clearly feel the pain and discomfort, my thoughts were extremely slow and rigid.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but the anti-G suit also started to exert its power at this moment, desperately squeezing every part of its body, like squeezing a sponge, desperately putting more pressure on the blood, forcibly squeezing it towards the head, maintaining the blood supply to the brain, and preventing it from losing consciousness.

Under immense torment, Jiang Yang truly experienced what it meant to be worse than dead.

For astronauts, enduring overload pressure of up to 5 to 6 times in a centrifuge is a routine training exercise.

Their bodies are also strong enough to support them in maintaining sufficient rationality and focus in such an environment.

But there was nothing Jiang Yang could do.

It's only been five days. No amount of special training could give you that kind of physical ability. You might as well not do any training at all and just tough it out.

Amidst the intense noise and vibration, Jiang Yang was in a daze. He didn't know when, but he suddenly lost consciousness.

The next moment, in the rented room, Jiang Yang suddenly sat up from the bed.

Huh, huh...

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Yang finally came to his senses.

Is this... another loop? Am I back to square one?
In that case, the launch appears to have failed.

As expected, the laws of science are not subject to anyone's will. Even if I were to ride in it, the launch would still fail if it was destined to fail.

Then... let's do it again!
After a series of operations, repeating the mental and physical adjustment phase of the previous cycle, Jiang Yang once again possessed abundant energy and a good physical condition.

"...0, ignition!"

Blazing flames once again erupted from the rocket's tail. The difference was that this time he was riding a different rocket, not the first one to arrive at the launch site in his previous life.

Although there are countless factors that affect the success or failure of a rocket launch, a rocket that failed in the previous life may not necessarily fail in this life, but it is still safer to replace it with a new one.

The multiple torments from gravity, anti-G suits, noise, and vibration struck again, and Jiang Yang once again entered that dazed and confused state.

Jiang Yang lost consciousness again after an unknown amount of time, and sat up in shock once more in his rented room.

Damn, this rocket is really unreliable, let's try again!

Based on a success rate of 22%, the probability of three consecutive rockets failing is about 47.4%. So this time, the success rate has increased to 52.6%!
In the astronauts' lounge, Professor Chen Yusheng looked at Jiang Yang with a complicated expression: "No, you're wrong."

Even if it fails a thousand times, ten thousand times, the success rate of the next rocket launch will still be 22%, and the failure rate will still be 78%, not 47.4%.

"Ok."

Jiang Yang shook off his disappointment and returned to the spaceship, only to wake up in his rented room once more.

Come again!

Another failure.

Could I really be that unlucky? A 22% success rate, and five consecutive failures?

Come again!

Despite repeated failures, Jiang Yang remained undeterred. Instead, these trials between life and death made his spirit even more resilient.

Lying in the spaceship once again, listening to the familiar countdown sound, Jiang Yang looked at the number on the top displaying his heart rate.

70 times per minute.

It's pretty much the same as usual.

At this moment, Jiang Yang felt no tension or heaviness, only a steadfast will to move forward no matter how many times he failed. The immense overload pressure struck again, and Jiang Yang closed his eyes, silently enduring it.

After an unknown amount of time, a strange and unprecedented feeling suddenly appeared.

It felt as if my body was floating in water, as if I had completely lost my weight, as if I was about to take flight at any moment.

The immense overload pressure disappeared, the weight of the heavy mechanical spacesuit disappeared, and even the enormous pressure of the anti-G suit disappeared completely.

At this moment, Jiang Yang felt that all his bones and muscles were completely relaxed.

The next moment, he saw himself really "flying".

Not only himself, but also some objects that had been placed beside him began to float up.

"This is weightlessness? How amazing..."

Experiencing the wonder of weightlessness, he looked at a screen.

The view of the spacecraft's exterior shown on the screen was provided by a dedicated camera.

Then he witnessed a strange scene.

Under the dazzling sunlight, a massive blue planet floats silently. High in the sky, some distance away from the blue planet, a metallic spaceship reveals part of its form, hovering quietly amidst countless stars.

"Is this Earth? Is this space?..."

He murmured to himself, and then heard Sun Changhe's solemn voice come through the communicator: "Comrade Jiang Yang, the spacecraft has successfully entered orbit. How are you feeling now?"

Composing himself, Jiang Yang said in a deep voice, "I feel good."

"Okay. From now on, your task is to wait patiently. You don't need to do anything else. Later, astronauts will pilot the other spacecraft to dock with you."

"clear."

Inside the bulky mechanical spacesuit, Jiang Yang began to wait quietly.

He then clearly saw part of the rocket launch scene in the picture.

From that blue and white planet, a tiny bright spot, trailing a long flame, slowly rose from the earth. But before it reached its peak, its brightness increased instantly, and then it disappeared.

He knew that a rocket launch had failed.

As Jiang Yang's spaceship sped along, it soon arrived on the other side of the Earth, where he saw countless lights shining brightly, adorning the planet like a jewel.

The sun rose rapidly from the lower left corner of the screen, and the dark planet turned bright blue again.

He saw the light rising from the earth once again.

Some of the bright spots disappeared smoothly, probably because the rocket had completed its mission and shut down automatically, but there were still flashes of light like fireworks.

He just watched quietly, waiting patiently.

More than two hours later, he saw a small bright spot appear in the external view, getting brighter and brighter.

Two more hours passed before he could clearly see the original appearance of the small dot.

It is not a point, but another spaceship that is identical to the one you are on.

A voice came through radio communication to Jiang Yang's ears: "Comrade Jiang Yang, astronaut Li Hui is reporting to you."

I will now perform the spacecraft docking operation; you do not need to interfere during the process…
