"Are we going to the asteroid with this?" You Jing asked in disbelief.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Although You Jing never imagined that one day he could experience space travel through wormholes a year ago, he can no longer accept the simple and simple space in front of him. transportation.

It was a small spaceship, shaped like an olive, with a fixed pilot position, and the bulky engine and power system accounted for two-thirds of its volume.

Rasimov explained: "Large manned spacecraft is not suitable for short-distance transportation in the inertial system, not to mention that there are many floating ice and debris on the asteroid, and the spacecraft is too large. It is very dangerous. This It is the most powerful little ship on Cerberus, and no ship can catch it."

Yegor looked up at the ship and suddenly asked, "Can you guarantee the safety of the consul?"

Rasimov nodded: "Diak is the best driver in Cerberus. He has been coming and going for more than ten years and has never had an accident."

You Jing stretched his waist, sighed and said, "Then what can we do, let's go, Secretary-General, we have to share weal and woe."

Yegor's brows tightened, and he was pushed and shoved by You Jing to get on the boat.

The size of the cabin is very small, like a circular living room. The original intention of its design is probably to allow passengers to drink tea. After drinking tea, the voyage is almost over.

Yegor walked around the cabin for a while and found that the entire cabin was covered with special materials, so he was relieved.

"I won't make things easy for Suther after we get to the asteroid," Yegor crossed his legs and sat by the tea table. "He's too stingy."

The pilot's cheerful stereo sound came from all directions: "Master Consul and Secretary-General, I am Diak, the pilot of the Wallis! Sansheng is honored to serve you! In less than one stellar hour, we will will arrive at the destination, now, please enjoy

It's time, do you want some music? "

"No need," You Jing said, flicking a page of the magazine screen, "The magazine prepared on your spaceship is quite interesting, especially the joke at the footer."

Diak shouted happily on the radio: "I knew you would like it!"

Yegor's face was not good: "He was so excited that I suspected that this person was taking drugs."

"Probably not," You Jing said, "Yegor, this is a very sensitive time, I don't suggest you use the metaphor of taking drugs, because I'm a little scared."

Yegor ignored him, and raised his voice and said, "Mr. Diak, please control the speed of the spaceship. We need the spaceship of the guards to be within sight."

"Ha, where are they? They're gone, but don't worry, we'll always find them when we land!"

Yegor stood up: "Now I suspect that this is more than a metaphor. Everything here is not quite right."

You Jing also hesitated: "Before they set off, they should give the driver a psychological checkup."

"I'm afraid that the problem is not before departure. With his frenzy, there may be some stimulant gas in the cockpit."

You Jing checked his personal system: "Communication is blocked, both directions are not available."

Yegor's face turned pale, and he forced himself to remain calm and said, "I bet the Wallis has disappeared from all flight monitoring by now."

You Jing rushed to the door, trying to open the button from the cabin to the cockpit.

There was no sound, he raised his leg, kicked the door fiercely, with a bang, the cabin seemed to tremble, and the door didn't move at all.

"A special metal that can withstand a high temperature of 9000 degrees, you don't want to kick it with a mortal body." Yeager said.

"If I can't kick the door, I can't break the button. If the control hardware is broken, the door is still finished." You Jing clenched his fist and was about to smash the button.

"Ahem, can you hear me? My lord consul?"

Diak's voice sounded again, much weaker this time.

"Did someone instruct you to do something? Diak." Yegor asked calmly.

"No. But someone did something wrong... I just passed out, and now the distress signal is not going out, and the fuel is about to run out. It's my fault, there are so many problems, I didn't check them out before the flight .”

You Jing and Yegor looked at each other. Diak was an experienced driver. He checked the technical manual and if he didn't find any problems, it meant that the manipulators were very skilled.

The cabin covered with special metal is fully enclosed, and there is a huge display screen on the wall. The stars in the picture are shaking violently, which means that the spaceship is currently in an extremely unstable flight state.

No sound could be heard in space, but the great silent horror almost materialized and surrounded them.Then the screen jumped, and everything fell into darkness.It was the Wallis that automatically turned off the display to save energy.

"You open the door, let's find a way together." You Jing put his hand on the door and said to him.

"There is a way, Archon. I will send you to the nearest planet, and everything will depend on you there."

"Are you going to make a forced landing? Diak."

"No, sir. There is not enough energy to raise the protective cover. The outer layer of the spacecraft will be melted by the high temperature generated by intense friction when it enters the atmosphere, but the cabin is safe, it will fall to the ground, don't worry. "

Yegor moved closer and said calmly: "You set the spaceship to autopilot, then enter the cabin, there is room for three people."

Diak replied, "Without me, the Wallis would never have landed on an asteroid with precision and obedience. Well, sit tight, sirs, we're about to land, and again, I'll be of service to you." Sansheng is lucky."

You Jing clenched his fist again and was about to break through the door forcefully. He swung his arm and was about to hit the control button when his shoulder was suddenly held down.

Yegor put a slender hand on his shoulder and looked up at him: "He's right. If this goes on, the three of us will lose our temperature and freeze to death in space."

"That's human life!" You Jing yelled at him with his eyes wide open.

"You are human too, and they want you to die, so you must not die." Yegor looked into his eyes and said every word.

You Jing waved his hand away, the spaceship fluctuated violently, Yegor staggered and fell to the ground, the tea table fell down and hit him, then rolled over.

The spacecraft has already begun to enter the atmosphere.

You Jing rushed over, wrapped the Secretary-General in his arms, and wrapped his arms around his head.

The guy couldn't bleed, he remembered.
