The end of technology.

This is what Zhuo Mingqian admires the most.

He can only stay in the floating building of the base, and he really doesn't have many choices in terms of career.But Zhang Haifeng has too many choices now.It is nothing more than the fact that only the base has large floating scientific research ships, and there are no other places.But there are really too many international companies that don't mind poaching people like Zhang Haifeng and spending huge sums of money to support them.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Mingqian felt a little regretful. He should have begged Ning Zi to fight on the boat.Fortunately, he is still young and still has a chance.

Thinking about a lot of what was there and what was missing, he sat up straight and connected to Zhang Haifeng's video call.

Soon, the holographic figure of the majestic captain in a neat uniform appeared in front of Zhuo Mingqian.

Of course, Zhuo Mingqian saw that the uniform was virtual.

The time on the spaceship is a very empty thing. After all, the Nuwa will not stay in the geosynchronous orbit for a long time. Simply put, there is no concept of day and night on the spaceship.Most areas are brightly lit 24 hours a day.

But for people who need to live on large space research ships for a long time, they also need to distinguish between day and night, so as to ensure that long-term space life will not disturb the biological clock.Therefore, there is a special lighting system in the public area of ​​the living area, which will adjust the light according to the passage of time like sunrise and sunset, so as to ensure the sleep of long-term resident staff.

The time used is naturally China Time.

So at this time, theoretically, Zhang Haifeng probably wouldn't dress so formally.

Of course, even though it was late at night, the commander probably wouldn't be resting at this time.After all, the Nuwa is still on the front line of rescue, undertaking the task of command hub.

So just after the picture was formed, Zhuo Mingqian didn't wait for the other person to say hello, and asked first: "How is the rescue work going? No clue yet?"

"Seven escape ships have been searched, two of which are empty, and a total of 7 people have been rescued from the five escape ships. Chen Xi and Du Bangle have not yet been found."

"You control Dupont to death."

"I don't care about him, but the records obtained prove that the two entered the same escape ship, and the person who was rescued just now also proves this."

Zhuo Mingqian was stunned for a moment, feeling a little stuffy.

"Let's not talk about this. It's only been more than 20 hours now. The survival ship on the Alexander is fully equipped, and the stored materials and life support system can last at least two months. As long as it is confirmed that the person has indeed entered the escape pod, there is no problem. .The key is what do you think? Is the reaction a little too big? You know that the Nuwa still has missions, but you don’t know how important this mission is?"

Zhang Haifeng frowned and asked.

"The reaction is too big? I'm afraid it's not enough." Zhuo Mingqian shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "Academician Ning sent a message back just now, don't you still know?"

"It's more of a headache if you know it. Didn't you persuade Academician Ning?" Zhang Haifeng raised his hand and waved it, and his tone increased.

"Persuade? How to persuade? The video sent by the public channel has no private connection at all. How can you persuade me? He is tens of millions of kilometers away from me. Why don't you command the Nuwa to find him now and persuade him face to face ?” Zhuo Mingqian rolled his eyes and said.

"As for this? Now is the critical moment for the transformation of Mars. Nuwa is going to capture Enceladus. This is something Academician Ning has been thinking about all the time. Is it because of the unexpected incident that happened to be delayed this time? The movement of celestial bodies is not There is a fixed rule. After half a year, Saturn will be the closest to Mars, and it will be the easiest time to send Enceladus there. How long will we have to wait if we miss this half year?

If you do this by force, all previous plans will have to be recalculated, how much time and resources will be wasted?Zhuo Mingqian, respect science!Academician Ning might just have a temporary temper, so forget it.I promise to save the person safely, you change those notices, some cooperation cannot be stopped for the time being! "

"Pfft...Old Zhang, isn't it? You talk about science with me?" Zhuo Mingqian smiled.

"Isn't this science? I deal with those scientists every day, and they all say so." Zhang Haifeng said helplessly.

"They all rely on Academician Ning's theory! Okay, okay, I know you are impatient, but don't be so anxious. In fact, I think there is nothing wrong with Academician Ning's decision. A group of barbarians want to make trouble, and these people are afraid of power Huaide, if you hurt them once, you will be honest. This time the board is raised high and then lowered gently, what should they do next time they dare to make trouble?

This time it's just an attack on the Earth-Moon Waterway, next time if you're not sure, you dare to sabotage the Nuwa ship!If you think about it, they dare to do things if they don't like it at all. Could it be that we have already developed into this, and we still have to get used to those people?Then next time when you are transporting Enceladus, they will mess up again and destroy the calculated course, what should you do? "

"How is it possible?! These calculation results are top secret, and I can only know things temporarily. How could they know in advance?"

"Heh... Coincidentally, you also said just now that this is an unexpected incident that happened by chance. How do you know that there will be no such coincidence next time?"

The two fell silent.

Then the screen on Zhang Haifeng's side paused, showing that there was another signal connected.The holographic picture made Zhuo Mingqian see that Zhang Haifeng was looking at his personal computer, and soon began to persuade him again: "I just received the news that someone has been responsible for this matter, someone has already been responsible for this matter Apologize to myself..."

"Oh? It's pretty fast, how many people?"

"two."

"not enough!"

"Zhuo Mingqian..."

"Old Zhang, I know you definitely didn't contact me first, but it's useless for me to talk about it. Academician Ning's opinion. It's not that you don't know Academician Ning's temperament, and the matter of launching two scapegoats is overturned. When Academician Ning comes back, will you bear the responsibility for him resigning from the base to do things?"

"Then what else do you say?"

"Blood should flow like a river, right? How many people died because of one mining card back then? Only two this time? Who are they looking down on?"

"Okay, okay, then you said that the Enceladus plan is still going?"

"Go, of course! Why don't you go? It's just a new batch of people. I'm counting the scientists in the base. After two more days, how many people have you expelled? I'll send you all the corresponding people and make up for you. Those laboratories are full. Don’t worry, it’s very safe this time. In two hours, all the control bases of the skyships will be recovered. By then, the entire space will be our ships. You’d better hurry up Speed, it is best to rescue Chen Xi within two days!"

Chapter 260 Butt and Head

Gaming is a very interesting thing, and it often inevitably runs through a person's life. It can even be said that people's social attributes have already determined that a lifetime is a lifetime of gaming.

The snacks you want to eat when you are young, the toys you want, and your parents refuse to buy them. It is a kind of game to play tricks; when you go to school, you have to fight wits with your parents and teachers, just to do less homework and play more computer games. It is a game; work It is a game in China, even going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and bargaining is a game, and it is even more a game to calculate various profit and red envelopes for various shopping festivals.

In fact, Zhuo Mingqian didn't want to play games with Zhang Haifeng, but there was no way. Although both of them were on Ning Zi's side, they couldn't unify their ideas, and there was a big gap.

The ass decides the head.

Ning Zi has been in the limelight all these years, so she has offended many people.domestic, foreign...

In fact, he is not like this.

The base has also offended many people over the years, or offended many group interests.It is nothing more than the explosion of productivity and the era of rapid economic development, which can help cover up many contradictions.The distribution may be uneven, but when everyone can make money, they will recognize it.

After all, the butt can't sit completely together.

It seems that Zhuo Mingqian's job seems to be much easier than that of Zhang Haifeng, but in fact his salary is much higher than that of Zhang Haifeng who can only earn more than 100 million a year.This is due to Zhuo Mingqian's roots in this scientific research base, and in his opinion, this base belongs to Ning Zi.

Maybe he is not as popular as Zhang Haifeng when he wants to get out of the base, but at least he is happier than Zhang Haifeng now.So Zhuo Mingqian is even willing to take the initiative to narrow his thinking to consider the problem.To put it more simply, whether human beings can quickly conquer Mars or whether the conflicts on Earth will explode is none of his business.

But if Ning Zi wanted an explanation, he had to help Ning Zi use the influence of the base to get an explanation that he thought would satisfy Ning Zi.

This is a contradiction, so a game is needed.

In fact, Zhuo Mingqian subconsciously hates some people who always think about things from a macro perspective. This is not what a small person like him should think about. Wouldn't it be better to live a simple life?Everyone did what they should do, and everything was resolved, how perfect.

"Zhuo Mingqian, I still suggest that you find a way to persuade Academician Ning. You are doing it wrong. You should know what Academician Ning's ambition is better than me. He was young and just angry for a while. After Chen Xi rescued him, he was almost angry. It’s also gone, and I will definitely regret it when the time comes. Moreover, the base’s approach obviously deviates from the mainstream trend of thought.”

Zhang Haifeng still did not give up persuading Zhuo Mingqian, and continued to persuade him earnestly.

Holographic video is good at this point, regardless of whether the environment is virtual or not, but the facial expressions that focus on restoring are real.Especially the details are well grasped, Zhuo Mingqian can even clearly see Zhang Haifeng's frowning brows and sincere eyes.

But it was precisely this advantage that made Zhuo Mingqian couldn't help laughing.

At first, he just pulled the corners of his mouth into a little smile, but gradually he couldn't control it, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hehe...haha...hahaha...cough cough...hahahahaha..."

In the end, I even leaned forward and backward with laughter, bowed my head on the table, one hand subconsciously covered my stomach, and the other hand kept beating on the table, making a rhythmic "bang bang" sound, which couldn't keep up. Intermittent laughter mixed together, appearing unrestrained.

Probably the former sunny boy hadn't laughed so wantonly for a long time, and this smile had a tendency to be unstoppable.

In the holographic video, Zhang Haifeng’s expression became even more bitter, and he still had doubts in the bitterness. He didn’t quite understand what was so funny about that sentence just now. In his 40 years of life, he had heard all kinds of compliments and praises, but no one really Said he was humorous...

Just like that, Zhuo Mingqian laughed for more than two minutes, and finally stopped smiling.

When I raised my head again, I could even see tear stains on my face. I laughed so hard that tears came out, and it seemed that I almost burst my stomach.

"Is it so funny?" Zhang Haifeng asked in confusion.

"No, this reminds me of the report I saw last time when a so-called psychologist profiled Ning Zi. Look, you all think you know Ning Zi, right? You think you know Ning Zi better than I do, yes Right? Actually, you know what a fart! You people don’t really depend on him for a living, how could you understand him better than me? Hehe...

Old Zhang, in fact Ning Zi is not as complicated as you think, he is actually very simple and pure.Let me talk about his ambition first, do you really think it is to develop Mars?Conquer space?Wrong, he simply wants to know the result, verify the difference between theory and reality, do you understand?

He wants to transform Mars just to prove that the planet itself can be transformed. As for the possibility of planetary immigration after transformation, that is just an accessory gift.It just so happens that this gift can bring him enough resources to do the next step of verification.His ambition is to explore questions and get answers, which has nothing to do with what you think.

Secondly, do you think he is just a boss for a while?You are wrong. From the very beginning, Academician Ning's style of doing things is to put his own people first.Is it the first day you know that he protects his shortcomings?When he was big, he gave priority to big body, and enlarged the scope. He is from Huaxia, so Chinese people take priority, it's as simple as that.

Who is wrong this time?He is a student of Academician Ning and his closest friend.Do you think he was just annoyed?No, this is his temperament, our Academician Ning protects his shortcomings!This is the simplest and most logical thinking of science students.

As far as the technology of the base is licensed to the outside world, the profits are uneven.The bottom line of many companies is just stuck on the profit line that allows them to bite the bullet and continue.Why are they willing?Because the intelligence brain has calculated, although the entities do these things almost for free for us, being included in the supply chain can allow their shareholders to make money from the stock market.

Ning Zi said a word to me before, it is actually very simple to solve people’s problems, you can only eat [-]% full and you will be done, as long as people are not full, they will not think too much about problems.I think it's quite right. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, six or seven adults could eat enough to eat. Now some people just eat too much and don't beat them hard enough, until they vomit.

So Lao Zhang, you don't know Ning Zi at all.The resources that should have been obtained in the early stage have been obtained. Is the project progressing smoothly now?Seriously, how much more can those people help?If we offend at this time, we will be offended. Why are we so anxious?It's them who should be in a hurry.

Believe me, when things get serious, Academician Ning will hold the ground up!As for you, don't worry too much.If you are under too much pressure, you will resign directly. Now you are afraid that you will not find a good next job?It's really annoying. When you come out, your annual income will be doubled by ten times. If you are afraid that you will not be able to get on the ship, you will transfer all personnel and organizational relations to the base, and your life will be much more comfortable than you are now.

Of course, if you just want to rely on serving on the Nuwa as a springboard to further your career in the future, just pretend I didn't say anything.But I want to remind you, Lao Zhang, don’t forget how you got up these years, think about how many people competed for the captain’s position, how did you get up!

There are marks on us that cannot be washed off.It depends on whether you want shallower or deeper.I am a very simple person, and I can think more in my head, but it is not that complicated which side to sit on, I just choose the most comfortable one.Academician Ning wants to speak, and I cooperate with him to speak, it's as simple as that.If you have an opinion, I'll take you off the boat. "

Zhuo Mingqian finally stopped laughing, and even spoke with a hint of coldness in his tone at the end.

In theory, he really does have this power.

Whether it is Nuwa or Wu Gang, theoretically they all belong to the base.

Although it takes a certain amount of experience and skills to be a commander-in-chief on a ship, there are very few such people, but it is not impossible, especially for the base.After ten years of development, few people can really see clearly the background of the base, but there must be Director Zhuo among these people.

These words also made Zhang Haifeng lose his temper completely, and he murmured after a while: "As for?"

"Hehe, I am quite gentle. When Academician Ning comes back, he is not satisfied with the handling of this matter. Believe it or not, he dared to let three thousand floating ships cooperate with Wu Gang, Nuwa and Kuafu to take the two The island country is completely blocked, so that the sun can’t even shine in? Not to mention that he dared to float over the floating building! I’m already very close, at least I didn’t really let the base take action... Heh, the dog can’t chew the bone, so it will naturally go Find a way to grab it, and when you really feel that you have enough, there will naturally be a signal."

Zhuo Mingqian raised his eyebrows and said.

These words also made Zhang Haifeng look at Zhuo Mingqian with more doubts. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "Director Zhuo, tell the truth, this incident was not deliberately caused by Academician Ning to beat some people Is something wrong? I read the incident records, the Alexander’s mission to the moon is a temporary authority given by the base, maybe it’s still in your hands..."

"Oh, lunatic, hang up!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Mingqian cut off the communication conveniently, and then blacklisted Zhuo Mingqian on the personal computer.

Modern blacklists are very handy.

After all communication modes are real-named, pulling a person into the blacklist naturally prohibits him from contacting through various means.Including but not limited to traditional phone calls, text messages, WeChat, QQ, EMIL in the Internet age, and even Weibo, forums, small videos and other public domain information interactions. Of course, it also includes new contact methods such as the current holographic messaging.

In short, a simple blacklist function controlled by the brain can make someone completely disappear from another person's life during this period of time, which is very convenient.

This also means that at least before Zhang Haifeng figured it out, Zhuo Mingqian was completely too lazy to communicate with this person.

……

Space, around the moon.

When more than 3000 floating ships sound like a lot, but scattered around the moon, it seems like nothing.But purely as a rescue force, it is already very powerful.

If you zoom out the map and mark the positions of these floating ships, you will find that the points where these ships are located present a three-dimensional grid, concentrated in a three-dimensional area [-] to [-] kilometers away from the moon. Each ship has its own airspace.

This is related to the coordinate system used in this rescue.

With the moon as the center point, the intelligent brain generates a virtual sphere every [-] kilometers at [-] kilometers and [-] kilometers, and then uses these spheres to generate different latitudes and longitudes, and incorporates the escape direction and speed of the escape cabin into the system. After determining the possible escape area of ​​the escape pod, select four points for each different latitude and longitude in this area, and connect with the four closest points corresponding to the adjacent sphere, and a space similar to an irregular hexahedron will be divided.

On the reduced map, this actually vast space is a point that the airship needs to search for.

This is also the difficulty of space rescue.

In the space rescue operation in the movie, it seems that it is easy to determine the specific coordinates, and then after the spacecraft passes by, you can see the wreckage of a certain spacecraft floating in space... That may not be possible until decades later.At least the current spatial positioning is limited by the speed of some technological innovations. In fact, positioning is not so accurate.

What's even more counterintuitive is that it's almost impossible for the escape pod to be floating somewhere in space.

As the theory says, stillness is only a relative concept.The escape capsule ejected from space will have an initial velocity, and may also be affected by the gravitational force of the Earth-Moon binary star system.Of course, this area is relatively close to the moon, and it is not on the line where the Lagrangian point is located, so it is likely to be greatly affected by the gravitational force of the moon.

Of course, the more important thing is that the waterway between the earth and the moon is not a straight line.In fact, if you want to shuttle between two planets, the channel is generally impossible to be a straight line, but a parabola.In particular, the three moon bases are all on the back side of the moon relative to the earth-moon system.

After the small floating ships that use gravity as the main power source are lifted into the sky, they all turn an arc along the orbit of the moon and then leave the moon and enter the earth's orbit along a slower parabola.

Fortunately, the escape speed of the escape pod is almost negligible compared to the maximum limit speed of nearly [-] kilometers per second in the space environment of ordinary airships.Moreover, regardless of the type of escape cabin on the floating boat, it is actually the same design standard, so only the same recovery process is needed, which greatly reduces the difficulty of rescue.

Linxiang's latest exploration-class airship has found two escape pods in the airspace it is in charge of, and only one person has been rescued.And according to the numbers on the system, it has been determined that both escape pods belong to the Alexander.

After more than ten hours of work, it has probably searched half of the airspace it is responsible for.And the search airspace has been adjusted again, and the scope has been reduced a lot.

Because except for space giants like Kuafu, Nuwa, and Wu Gang, the escape capsules on half of the small airships are mostly designed in the same area.In this way, when danger occurs, the autopilot system on the floating ship will automatically adjust the attitude of the ship to ensure that the ejection direction of the escape pod is relatively safe.

So the surrounding area where the escape pod has been found has naturally become the key area to look for.

This is why Zhang Haifeng is confident that he can rescue Chen Xi safely during the holographic video call.

They have already found the survival capsule ejected from the Alexander, and the search area has been greatly reduced. How could they not save anyone? !

Chapter 261 Unlucky Order

Exploration-class airships are the latest generation of products in the base.It is the mainstream airship model carried by large scientific research ships in the future.The most equipped in the ship is the multifunctional planetary exploration robot model robot.

The model robot mentioned here is not an Autobot...in fact, it is a scientific research vehicle.It is said that it is a car, but in fact it still uses anti-gravity technology. When it is running, it mainly flies by at a height of one or two meters from the surface of the planet.The car is equipped with a robotic arm, which can automatically take samples without getting out of the car, and can even perform basic excavation work.

The interior of the carriage was originally a laboratory, with scientific research equipment including multi-functional laser analyzers and samplers that can adapt to extremely harsh environments.Internal supplies and life support equipment can also support two people to survive for a month.

From this point, it can be seen that the various types of floating ships developed by the base at this stage are actually for research purposes.However, in this era when even how to prepare anti-gravity materials has not been clearly studied in other places, the specific functions of the airship can actually be diversified.This is probably where the confidence of the base lies.

The command tower of Linxiang.

"Captain Zhai, I received a distress signal at 2798 kilometers from the lower left, using the identification number of the Alexander."
