Today's security alert was a rare experience for both men.

Space shipping lanes sound more dangerous than the civil aviation lanes that used to be in the atmosphere. After all, the distance between the earth and the moon alone is more than 300,000 kilometers. If something happens in the vast and vast space, it will really be a disaster every day.

If you don't respond, the earth and earth will become inoperable.

But in fact, from the launch of the Wu Gang to the Fengming series of anti-gravity civilian aerostats gradually replacing airplanes as the main civil aviation aircraft, there have been zero major safety incidents so far in both intra- and extra-atmospheric waterways.

Good results.

This is largely due to the base's various safety and redundancy designs in designing the floating shuttle ship.

At least so far, no ship has had an accident on the space route and claimed human life.

Especially during the construction period of the lunar scientific research base, the entire channel was extremely busy, with various types of transport pontoons shuttled through it almost all the time, and no accidents ever occurred.

In addition, the entire waterway was originally covered with communication buoys, which was enough to ensure that any distress message could be responded to immediately. Moreover, the waterway had special maintenance search and rescue ships cruising in fixed orbits every 50,000 kilometers, giving people full safety.

feel.

In addition, this era can be said to be the most peaceful era in a hundred years. With the infinite imagination provided by space with nearly unlimited resources, coupled with China's increasing control, the world has become a lot more peaceful.

Especially the huge progress in the field of propaganda.

When many world media, including NBC and CNN, began to work together to promote the good times of the future space age, it also made the world a lot less hostile. Most of the time, they were talking in various United Nations agencies.

After all, how the space interests will be distributed in the future has not yet been decided, and it is far from the time to break up and start a dispute.

Especially for many areas with disputed territories, Mars, which is being transformed, is the place they most yearn for.

There is no ownerless territory on the earth anymore, but if Mars can be transformed successfully, the territory will be huge. Even if Mars is China's private territory, it is enough to prove that this technology is effective. Currently in the solar system

Seven planets have been detected that are suitable for habitable transformation, and these are the territories of future earthlings.

After all, China's various population encouragement policies are already at their full capacity, and no matter how much encouragement is given, it will be impossible for the population to reach 3 billion within ten years.

Of course, this is a double-edged sword, because if the Mars transformation plan fails, the pressure may be greater. After all, China's rapidly increasing population needs someone to support it. Feeding, drinking and eating 200 million people is not a small sum.

number

Judging from the current situation, everyone is waiting for the results of the transformation of Mars, and all conflicts have been temporarily suppressed in a state where everyone acquiesces. This fact, even if someone wants to cause trouble, will be suppressed by collective power.

was suppressed.

No matter how arrogant a person is, he will become honest after a few big competitions. The same is true at the national level. When the big guys sitting at the table all feel that it is better to be quiet at this time than to move, who dares to jump out and cause trouble at this time?

, that is, a matter of one or two big competitions.

So today's warning message is somewhat sudden.

Fortunately, every floating ship is equipped with a safety cabin, which is also an escape cabin in case of real problems. The cabin itself is equipped with a starlight positioning system. Even if something happens, it can still pass through the signals arranged on the Earth-Moon route.

The target was quickly located and rescued.

The most important thing is that the Alexander has just left the moon for about half an hour. With the size of this aerospace craft, it only takes a few minutes to readjust the return route. So although Zhinao gave an early warning, the two

It was not too alarming, and no one on the ship was alarmed, even if Dupont le directly activated the alarm device.

After a long period of peace, his vigilance naturally declined. On the way to the safety cabin, Chen Xi was even upset that he could not arrive on time today. After all, the moon base is really not a place for normal people to stay. However, there is a warning for the intelligent brain system.

, the two of them still care.

Chen Xi is because of his long-term safety education, and Dupont is because he has experienced the capabilities of the intelligent brain system.

However, when the two of them walked into the nearest safety cabin and the outer door was locked, a piercing alarm sounded.

This time it wasn't a personal computer warning, but an aerospace ship's siren.

"Alarm, alarm, an explosive impact from an external source has been detected. The ship's gravity device may lose control. Please enter the protective cabin immediately."

The two looked at each other in surprise.

The content of this alert is obvious...

Is this someone attacking the Alexander? On the Earth-Moon Passage?

At this time, Chen Xi could no longer think about returning to Earth. He quickly opened the seat-type protective compartment in the safety cabin, sat on his seat, then raised his hand to pull down the oxygen mask above his head, put it on his head, and then pressed the seat

Press the button on the armrest of the chair, the fixing device is activated, and the door of the protective compartment is also closed.

These are all standard equipment for spacecraft. All scientists who have entered space by ship have gone through several rounds of training and will basically not make mistakes. After completing the operation quickly, Chen Xi glanced at Uncle Du next to him. Obviously, the old man was familiar with

His own safety was more important, and in just a moment, he completed the entire set of actions to enter the protective cabin, and at this time, the door of the cabin was also slowly closing.

Before Chen Xi could react, after taking a breath of oxygen gushing out of the mask, she felt sleepy. The next moment she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. At the same time, the entire protective chamber began to automatically spray out white mist.

Then it condenses into soft foam and fills the entire warehouse.

From this point of view, the little girl who is careless and quick-footed is much luckier than the little old man who is more than ten seconds slower.

Because nothing happened when she fell asleep, the old man was different. In just ten seconds, he heard the piercing alarm sound, and then the entire protective cabin began to vibrate violently, followed by a strong pushing feeling on her back. This was

In the worst case scenario, the entire cabin was automatically ejected, which shows that the system has assessed the risk of explosion on the Alexander, and it also shows that this time things are serious.

Although there are five protective cabins in the safety cabin, only two are occupied. Although the protective cabin can sleep for 72 hours, if there is a collision and injury, medical nanorobots will be available to repair it. Although after the wake-up program is started, the safety cabin

The supplies and life support systems stored inside are enough for five people for three months, and for two people for longer...

But this is space. If the safety cabin floats beyond the signal receiving position of the channel communication buoy and loses the starry sky positioning system, it will be very difficult to find such a small safety cabin in space. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

.

Yes, at the moment before falling asleep, Dupontle's pupils clearly radiated fear. I think he would have nightmares even in his drowsiness.

…

At the first base on the moon, a piercing siren suddenly sounded throughout the base.

Chen Luo, who had been busy for more than ten hours in a row, was suddenly awakened as soon as he climbed into bed and fell asleep. He was still in a state of confusion. Although the piercing alarm sound kept blasting in his ears, he did not react at all.

Are aliens attacking the moon?

This was the first thought that came to his mind after he finally woke up from his trance. Fortunately, the synchronously vibrating personal computer on the bedside made him break away from this ridiculous idea. Chen Luo picked up the personal computer and

Then I saw the urgent message.

"Level 1 search and rescue alert. The Alexander micro-aerostat responsible for the Earth-moon transfer mission was attacked by an aerial mine 41,200 kilometers away from the moon. The power chamber of the module was severely damaged, and all twelve safety cabins were ejected."

Chen Luo, who had just seen this emergency search and rescue message, felt baffled and even felt a little bit of schadenfreude.

Alexander micro-floating ship?

Why would this piece of shit come to the moon if it has nothing to do?

Have those bureaucrats in the so-called Lunar Management Office started acting evil again?

A few seconds after my brain started working, I suddenly felt like something was wrong.

Wait, we were attacked 41,200 kilometers away from the moon? Didn’t this guy get hit just on the edge of the moon?

This situation is wrong. How could we be attacked on the edge of the moon? Are there really aliens?

No, floating mines? This thing should not be alien technology. If aliens really find the lunar passage, it is impossible to carry out such an attack with such backward means. It is impossible to directly attack the lunar base.

Besides, there are currently only three bare bases on the moon...

Wait, why are there aerial mines on the waterway? Today is not a reception day, so why would an aerial ship come to the base.

So fiercely, the conversation he had with Chen Xi before he started revising Rigel 1 yesterday came into his mind...

"Elder brother, Director Ning told me before that as long as I complete the tasks assigned to him, he can leave at any time. He has made an agreement with Uncle Zhuo. I will call Uncle Zhuo and he will arrange a boat to pick me up tomorrow.

Of course, Director Ning also said that I must have a note of leave approved by you or him. So, Senior Brother, you will definitely grant me leave, right?"

MMP!

Chen Luo suddenly jumped up from the bed: "Holy shit... my junior sister is on the boat?!"

Thinking of his mentor repeatedly asking him to take good care of his little junior sister, Chen Luo not only woke up instantly, but also almost went crazy...

…

Space, Nuwa space research and exploration ship.

This place is extremely busy at this time, and the entrance and exit on the bottom of the giant ship are constantly handling floating ships carrying various supplies.

This giant ship is making final preparations for its upcoming expedition to the Saturn system.

Capturing a satellite, even if it is only two-sevenths the mass of the moon, is a very difficult task. Not to mention the impact on the Saturn system itself must be considered when capturing this satellite, so this expedition

It is extremely difficult, whether it is various calculations or scientific experiments.

Everyone's morale is also extremely high.

If the capture of Enceladus is successful this time, it will not be as simple as making history. It also means that human beings have the ability to design and build planetary systems on their own. If we imagine more distantly, this further shows that in the future, human beings can even design and build planetary systems according to their own preferences.

In line with the needs of livable survival, independently design and build star systems.

Once we reach that point, it can be said that everywhere in the universe can become a beautiful home.

Of course, this kind of engineering work is still unimaginable at present. The complexity of the movements of countless stars in a star system is no less complex than the movement of microscopic particles. A single move can move the whole body, so even if

Humanity has officially entered space, but this grand idea can only remain in the fantasy stage for the time being.

But then again, the development of science and technology relies on continuous accumulation. When it reaches a limit, it then accumulates more and more.
