Chapter 283: Flying a Spaceship in the Zero Realm
"Lin Bo, it seems that we can't meet on Earth." Brett said in a low tone, "However, I still want to thank you for your willingness to rescue me."
"Hey, why do you say that suddenly?" Lin Dai asked in surprise, "Did something happen?"
"Just now, the heat insulation layer of our spacecraft failed, and Now, we have no conditions for repairs. "Brett said, "It seems that even God has abandoned us. Please help me write down my next words. Although my family is no longer here, if you can, please help. I'll post my last words on the Internet in the United States."
"Insulation failure? In other words, your spacecraft can no longer pass through the atmosphere, right?" Lin Dai ignored Brett. Tuo Gu frowned and said, "Then, the second plan is invalid, let's start the third plan."
"The third option?" Brett was stunned when he heard this, "Do you think you still have a way?"
"Of course, since you can no longer pass through the atmosphere, then land at the Tiangong Space Port. , and then take the space elevator back to Earth," Lin Tie said, "Confirm the status of the spacecraft again, and connect to the Tiangong Spaceport network first, as we said before, and we will send you the new orbit parameters at that time. , but, since your spacecraft’s central control system does not have a predetermined line, that section can only be operated manually by you.”
“No problem,” Brett said, with hope of survival again. Finally, Brett cheered up.
More than an hour later, after Brett and his spacecraft entered the signal range of the Tiangong Space Port, the lost spacecraft connected to the earth's network again. Lin Shu immediately gave Brett and the others sent Sliver's code.
"Sliver? The AI installed on your car?" Brett asked curiously after completing the installation according to Lin Shu's instructions and hearing the AI introduce itself.
"That's right, China's current spaceships and central control AI are basically developed on the basis of Sliver. However, we have no data on the spacecraft you are currently flying. Therefore, use the more intelligent Sliver. Maybe it's safer."
"I know, what should I do next?" Brett asked.
"Mr. Brett, the orbit change calculation has been completed. Please check the details in your personal terminal. In 34 minutes and 52 seconds, the spacecraft will arrive at the orbit change location. Please be prepared."
< br>"There is really no end to the road." Aiji also said happily at this time.
"Don't take it lightly, we only have one chance." Brett said calmly.
"We can now connect to the Earth's network, right?" At this time, Qiao also said.
"That's right, do you want to have a phone call with Aaron?" Brett relaxed briefly after hearing this and said.
"There's no rush. Anyway, we can meet in a short while, but before that..." Qiao gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone, logged in to the American social media account, and quickly is editing an update.
A few minutes later, a post from Joe directly shocked the entire American Internet. The content of the post was very simple:
[Faker NASA, Faker USA! 】
Although in less than half a minute, Joe's account was blocked and the post was deleted, but never underestimate the speed of netizens taking screenshots, not to mention at this moment when it can be said that the whole world is paying attention to the three stranded astronauts. .
【Why do our astronauts post such updates? 】
【Obviously, there is something fishy in the news released by NASA. 】
【Isn’t it true that what China said is true? Those bastards at NASA and Boeing are planning to abandon our astronauts while China is conducting humanitarian relief? 】
After Joe’s news was released, Boeing and the politicians behind it couldn’t sit still. Didn’t they already cut off the network connection of the spacecraft? Why can they still publish this kind of thing!
In this way, their trick of deceiving the people was completely exposed, and for a time they were caught in a huge public opinion storm.
At this time, Lin De also began to explain the details of the orbit change operation to Brett after a while.
“Before you slow down and enter the capture orbit of the spaceport, the huge acceleration will put you under great pressure. The AI’s estimate is that it is about 11G, but you must complete a process during that process. A series of precise operations, the process of China's spacecraft is automatically controlled by AI. This is the first time you have encountered this situation," Lin Ye said, "You only have one chance. In order to ensure completion, you will need a period of time. , you may need to enter the realm of zero."
"Is that the realm you discovered in the GPX game?" Brett asked.
"That's right," Lin De said, "If it were you, there shouldn't be any problem entering this state. Remember what I said next."
"While enduring that huge acceleration, use your mind to try to sense everything around the vehicle, and then, following the guidance of your instincts, use your mind to push open the door that you may be able to see," Lin De said.
"I understand." Brett said, "Then, see you on Earth."
"Wish you good luck, see you on Earth." Lin De responded.
The communication channel became quiet, Brett also calmed down and made preparations, and Lin Dong stopped interrupting.
"Captain, can he... succeed?" Hama asked at this time. As someone who has experienced acceleration training, he naturally knows what the concept of 11G acceleration is. In that state, , it is very difficult to even keep the brain awake, let alone a series of precise operations required to get the spacecraft into the established orbit.
"I believe he can do it," Lin said.
......
"Mr. Brett, the spacecraft will arrive at the expected orbit change location in three minutes. Please be prepared." After a while, Sliver's voice sounded inside the spacecraft.
Brett, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed before, suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Aggie, Joe, check the spacecraft one last time." Brett said. "Understood." After the two nodded, they got into intense work, while Brett sat in the main driving seat, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Three minutes later, the moment Sliver's reminder light came on, Brett suddenly started the power system of the spacecraft, changing the trajectory of the spacecraft.
This ill-fated spacecraft began to move towards China's Tiangong Space Port.
"Dr. Lin, the Nantianmen is ready." The commander of the Tiangong Spaceport also brought good news to Lin De at this time. The Tiangong Spaceport spacecraft capture device is ready, waiting for Brett and the others. Arrive at the intended track.
At the same time, China’s international channels also started live broadcasting of the rescue operation.
In the program, Yang Ma thoughtfully explained the causes and consequences of this incident, and said that China respects every astronaut who works hard for human space exploration, so it rescued them out of humanitarianism and the entire process was broadcast live.
The entire program is in line with the news posted by Qiao before, and its credibility is directly boosted.
At this time, some media outlets such as the BBC are still speaking harshly, but these screenshots of Joe’s actions, which have begun to gain uncontrollable momentum on social media, look like clowns.
Time passed minute by minute. At a moment when the outside world was extremely noisy, Brett was concentrating on controlling the spacecraft. Brett had completed several orbit changes perfectly. At this moment, he was already far away from the Tiangong Space Port. Getting closer.
But Brett understands that the real difficult moment is yet to come.
"The spacecraft has one minute and twenty-five seconds to reach the expected orbit change point, please be prepared." Sliver reminded at this time.
Brett took a deep breath. As Lin Cao reminded him before, the most difficult road was right around the corner.
"Zero Realm? If you all can do it, there's no reason why I can't do it!" The moment the warning light in the spacecraft came on, Brett suddenly pressed the power switch of the spacecraft, and the engine of the spacecraft Operating at full power, huge acceleration hit instantly. The faces of the three people in the driver's seat under their spacesuits were instantly deformed under the huge acceleration. Their vision soon became blurred. Among the three, the physical condition was the worst. Joe only lasted less than two seconds before losing consciousness. Although Aggie was a little stronger, he also found that he could not control his body during the huge acceleration.
"Hold on, Brett." In the ground command center, everyone who was monitoring the status of the spacecraft through the data sent back by Sliver was sweating. Success or failure depended on this.
"Feel everything around the vehicle..." Although Brett also had black vision, he also calmed down his thoughts and felt carefully according to what Lin De said at this time. Every detail of the spaceship, and then, Brett felt as if he had arrived in a strange space, surrounded by darkness. In this space, time became extremely long. He walked forward according to his instinct, not knowing After a while, a door with a faint light appeared in front of him. With a thought, Brett pushed it open forcefully, and a dazzling light came from behind the door...
Brett suddenly woke up from the edge of unconsciousness. Only a moment passed in reality. At this moment, although in the spacecraft, he could only observe the outside world through machines, but at this moment, Brett suddenly discovered that this spacecraft seemed to have already Becoming a part of his body, countless information began to converge into his brain. At the intersection of information, countless possibilities were clearly visible in a few seconds!
"Is this...the Zero Realm?" Brett showed an excited smile, constantly adjusting the parameters of the spacecraft, without any hesitation in the movements of his hands. Every step of Brett was precise. Stepping on the glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
Finally, when Brett could see the outline of the Tiangong Space Port, Sliver's prompt sounded: "It has reached the established orbit. The spacecraft will arrive at Nantianmen in twenty-five minutes. Congratulations. You, Mr. Brett.”
“Are you alive?” Brett breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the tight string in his mind relaxed. The sequelae hit at this moment, and Brett's consciousness began to blur due to the huge feeling of fatigue. At the last moment before coma, Brett raised his eyes and glanced at the vast universe, "It's good to be alive."
At this time, the staff at the ground command center and Tiangong Spaceport also received the news from Sliver, and everyone cheered warmly. At this time, the person in charge of the Chinese Aerospace Department was already thinking about how to absorb Brett into the team. Their team, if NASA doesn’t value such talents, they will!
At this time, Aggie and Joe, who had lost consciousness due to the huge acceleration, slowly woke up. After waking up, they were startled when they saw Brett, who had been silent for a long time beside them, and hurriedly started calling Lin Shu. This way.
"Don't worry, he just fainted due to the side effects of Zero Realm. Your space suit should be able to maintain his body. You don't need to operate it anymore. Just leave it to us. Okay." Lin Tie replied.
Twenty-five minutes later, the spacecraft entered the capture range of the spaceport. Under the influence of the anti-gravity device developed by Lin De relying on MG ore, the spacecraft slowly entered the interior of the spaceport. The spaceport staff on standby opened the spacecraft, and the medical staff rushed forward and performed a simple physical examination on the three people. After confirming that there were no problems, they sent the three people into the return capsule of the space elevator.
"Okay, they will be back in fifteen hours." Lin Ye turned around and said to the three people of Eagle Feather Dragon, "Let's go rest too, and then we can pick them up at the exit."
The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lin Shu's arrangement to rest.
Fifteen hours later, as the space elevator descended into the space base deep in the desert of western China, under the attention of the world, the staff slowly carried three people out of the cockpit of the space elevator on a special stretcher. , Lin Dai, Eagle Feather Dragon and Hama Miller were waiting at the front of the team.
After Ying Yulong saw his fiancée who had narrowly escaped death, his mood suddenly rose, and he rushed towards the three of them before a large number of pro-China media reporters specially arranged by China.
"Qiao!" Eagle Feather Dragon shouted excitedly.
“Aaron!” Qiao, who was unable to walk due to the long period of weightlessness and still needed to adapt to the gravity, also struggled to lift his arms on the stretcher, and the two hugged each other tightly. Together, this scene was broadcast live.
At this time, Lin De simply brought Hama and Miller to Brett's side. At this time, Brett had already woken up from the sequelae of the Zero Realm.
"Don't look at the young couple, how do you feel?" Lin Ye asked with a smile.
“It feels so good to be back on Earth. After all, I thought I would die in space more than ten hours ago.” Brett smiled.
"I didn't ask you this." Lin De said, "I mean, how does it feel in Zero Realm?"
"It feels good." Brett chuckled, " But this time I am ahead of you, and the vehicle I drive is much faster than yours.”
