Wu Zongwen: "What's the plan?"
"They may have intended to travel in a straight line through the Earth-Moon system."
"Flight N-177 has been hijacked by us."
No one responded in the communication channel.
"I propose to launch infrasonic missiles to suppress the passengers on the flight, and then take over the flight through remote control and guide it to dock at the nearest space station."
The other two militants standing in the cockpit stepped forward, removed the body lying in front of the cockpit, and replaced it by sitting in the driver's seat and taking over the flight.
In recent years, with the popularity of mining drones, there have been fewer and fewer mining ships requiring manual operation, and kidnapping cases have almost disappeared.
"I'm warning you, this matter must be handled well no matter what, especially without any casualties to the hostages!"
Upon hearing the commander's question, the staff member sitting in front of the console responded immediately.
"If this matter is not handled well, people will question Chairman Li Guangya's ability, and it may even affect the plan to develop distant planets on Jupiter!"
"At all costs, ensure the safety of all hostages!"
If the two key parameters of speed and direction cannot achieve approximate synchronization with the target, even if the two spacecraft meet in space, they will just pass by each other, and they will either collide into a ball of scrap metal, or they will not Any story happens.
"We're working on it!"
"Directly passing through the Earth-Moon system?" Looking at the chief of staff, the consultant standing aside said with an expression of disbelief on his face, "But how do they plan to stop like this? If they continue to accelerate, there will not be enough fuel left. They slow down. If they miss the window of deceleration, they will become asteroids drifting in the solar system... Doing so is tantamount to suicide!"
"yes!"
"Very good," Wu Zongwen's expression softened slightly and he continued, "If we can negotiate, try not to do anything to irritate them. No matter what demands they make, let's stabilize them first."
Soon...
"yes!"
"Something like that might have happened in the barbaric early days of the 21st century, but now in the 22nd century, it would be better for you to change your thinking as soon as possible."
Like other dormants who were sent to this era due to historical issues, although he was assigned specific work, he did not have much say in this position. He is neither capable of commanding the army of this era, nor can people of this era trust an antique from the past.
A flight veered off course.
Without any hesitation, the armed man sitting in the driver's seat answered neatly.
What's more, how to send the ghost team to the controlled flight is still a big problem that is difficult to solve.
"The course adjustment is completed and it is expected to make contact with the target in 11 hours."
According to the results of the route calculation, flight N-177 will arrive at the Earth-Moon system in up to 11 hours, pass directly through the Earth-Moon system at an unimaginable speed, and enter an elliptical orbit around the sun with a navigation period of 124 years. , completely out of control.
The staff member sitting at the console responded immediately.
"What about sending a ghost team to land?"
This time, it was the Army advisor standing next to him who shook his head.
Just as everyone in the command room was discussing countermeasures, footsteps came from outside the command room, and a man in his 50s, wearing formal clothes and slicked back hair, walked in.
The commander said with a stiff expression.
"Not all ransoms need to be collected from the other party," Yang Wu continued after a pause, "This may be a suicide attack."
"Even the Ghost Team cannot eliminate all the hijackers in the ship cabin in an instant. And any mistake may put the lives of the hostages at risk."
Looking at the 5% figure, Yang Wu shook his head and said.
"clear."
"You believe too much in the results of AI analysis, just like medieval witches who are superstitious about crystal balls."
The awakened Yang Wu also canceled his original work arrangement because his plan to reinforce the future was cancelled. Instead, he was assigned to serve as a consultant to the Pan-Asia First Fleet.
"How is the situation now?"
"The remote communication module has been removed."
Looking at the man who walked into the command room, the commander had a headache expression on his face, but he quickly hid this expression behind his stern face and spoke in a concise tone.
In essence, there is no difference between him and Director Li. They are both supported as mascots by the Pan-Asian Cooperation authorities.
After hearing the suggestion from the consultant, the chief of staff immediately rejected it and said.
"above."
Just two minutes ago, they received an alarm from the route dispatch center and learned that flight N-177 had been hijacked by unknown armed forces.
"Start the AI battlefield analysis system and simulate the results of the action."
Standing in the command room, the commander of the Pan-Asia First Fleet had a solemn expression on his face.
No one believed it.
"Do you get me?"
There was no sleeping cabin prepared on the flight, and the supplies carried were not even enough to last a week.
With the start-up of quantum computers, the results of the evaluation came out quickly.
"Every minute, we clear a section of the 'ship'."
He spoke unhurriedly as a string of electrical noise passed by and hijacked the communication channel.
There was blood everywhere in the cockpit of flight N-177.
"Flight N-177 was hijacked by unknown militants. We are trying to confirm the identity of the militants and launch rescue operations for the introduced passengers—"
With that said, Wu Zongwen no longer paid attention to the young consultant, but looked at the commander standing next to him and said in a warning tone.
The AI battlefield analysis system was quickly launched. According to the real-time calculation results of the quantum computer, the success rate of plan A was less than 3%, and the success rate of plan B was even more pitiful, only less than 1%.
Just when the route dispatch center had just received the warning from the hijackers and hurriedly reported the alarm, the radar monitoring array of the Pan-Asia First Fleet had already discovered the abnormality of the situation.
Because based on the international situation at the time, China's judgment was that if the Human Alliance disintegrated, they would most likely break out into a war within 50 years.
According to the judgment of the AI battlefield analysis system, the probability assessment result obtained is less than 5%.
This is revenge and punishment!
"Engine re-ignited...power increased to 95%."
"yes!"
The voice in the communication channel was like the whisper of a ghost, lingering in the loneliness of no one answering.
Looking at the person who spoke, the commander narrowed his eyes.
The reason for going to the future was that the then authorities hoped to ensure the combat effectiveness of the military in the future by sending officers from peaceful times to future times when there is a risk of war.
If the fuel of the aircraft on the earth is not enough, it can make an emergency landing. However, if the fuel of the spacecraft flying in the universe is not enough, let alone find a place to make an emergency landing. The final end can only be turned into space junk, drifting in almost eternity. Leave it to fate.
However, the flight did not slow down or turn significantly. It even went in the opposite direction, raising its speed to the limit and continuing to move forward in a straight line!
About a minute ago, they had confirmed that the flight named N-177 was the civilian transport spacecraft they were monitoring with an abnormal route.
After finishing speaking, he closed the communication channel and threw the headset next to the body.
However, what happened later was as everyone knew, the expected all-out war did not break out, and it has even continued to this day.
"Flight N-177... This is the route dispatch center. Your direction has deviated from the preset route. Please correct the route immediately..."
After glancing at the consultant named Yang Wu, Councilor Wu Zongwen standing next to him made a sarcastic comment in a light voice.
"No! Infrasonic weapons will pose a threat to the life safety of the hostages and may irritate the hijackers. And if the power is not high, it will be difficult to have an effect on the full-coverage exoskeleton armor, and it is more likely to injure the driver and cause The spaceship cannot return!"
"You don't want anything?" the Army adviser frowned and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? This is the first time I've heard of kidnappers who don't want ransom."
After listening to the battle plans put forward by his subordinates, the commander who stood in front of the console pondered for a while and then gave an order.
Now that he is here, the news that the flight has been hijacked must have been suppressed.
Faced with that aggressive tone, the commander was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
"Flight N-177...can you hear me?"
Pan-Asian First Fleet Headquarters.
"The course of the spacecraft has not changed, it is even accelerating!"
When this man walked into the command room, everyone had a troubled expression on their faces.
"I'm not here to listen to you retell those news! The entire Internet is discussing this matter now, don't think of me as a fool!" Interrupting the commander, Congressman Wu Zongwen said in a stern voice, "I hope you can truly realize Realize the seriousness of the problem and solve it properly.”
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his stern mouth. Staring at the pool of blood on the cockpit glass, the man continued.
The commander nodded, just about to respond.
"Your Majesty Commander, I need an explanation."
The whole of Pan-Asia will be shrouded in their terror!
Once you miss the deceleration window, you will die. There is no second possibility.
After kicking the corpse next to him, Jean Rousas, who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, took off the headset from the ear of the captain who had been headshot, and tapped it twice with the index finger of his right hand.
"This is impossible!" the Army adviser standing aside categorically rejected, "Where are their benefits from doing this? Apart from spreading panic-"
However, at this moment, the military adviser standing beside the command room who had been silent until now suddenly spoke.
And not only that, when the flight originally headed from Mars to Earth arrived at this location, it should have shut down the main engine and slowed down to enter the Earth-Moon system.
The moment they heard these words, everyone in the command room was stunned.
"It's just to spread panic," Yang Wu continued in a calm tone, "by spreading panic, they can achieve their ulterior motives. I'm even sure that what they plan is probably not cheap."
Aviation and aerospace are different.
Yang Wu, former PLA General Staff Officer, from 2050, now serves as military advisor to the Pan-Asian First Fleet.
Concealment is okay, but the spacecraft with 12 pairs of engines has already taken off for two days.
Generally speaking, pirates who are wandering around the asteroid belt, although in addition to robbing mining stations, occasionally act as kidnappers, they usually target mining ships with poor maneuverability and space workstations with low defense coefficients. .
It's like planning to pass directly through the earth-moon system...
Unless they had already started preparing for this robbery as soon as flight N-177 set off from the Mars Orbital Space Station.
"Everything went according to plan."
Looking at the predicted flight path outlined on the holographic star map, the commander frowned, and an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.
Targeting a civilian transport ship with twelve pairs of engines, and kidnapping more than 200 people at once. Such a major shocking robbery is unique in the history of the world's aerospace industry, let alone in the history of Pan-Asian cooperation!
"very good… "
"We are trying to communicate with the people who are picking up the N-177 flight through the nearest space station. No matter what their demands are, we will try to persuade them to slow down and communicate with our negotiators."
You must know that with such a large upper limit of horizontal thrust and acceleration time, even an ordinary military spacecraft may not be able to catch up with it in less than ten hours of "run-up".
"Maybe they want nothing."
You know, the pursuit in space is not just a pursuit of distance, but also a competition of speed!
This person’s name is Wu Zongwen, and he is a member of the Central Assembly for Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Hearing the report coming from the communication channel, a hint of unnoticeable fanaticism appeared in Jean Rousas' pupils.
The consultant continued to ask without giving up.
After hearing this, the chief of staff standing nearby frowned, thought for a moment and then spoke.
After the commander was silent for a while, he gave an order.
"...Within 100 kilometers, if we observe through radar or visual observation, we find that any spacecraft is approaching us."
"Start the AI battlefield analysis system to evaluate the possibility described by Consultant Yang."
