Chapter 27 Definition of Companion
"So, which section was the last to enter the earth?" Arthur asked.
"Very smart, how did you tell?"
The commander's voice was slightly trembling.
Klein motioned for Arthur to continue.
Arthur walked to the wall, pointed with his finger at the position where the white hull had just been fixed, and then drew a semicircular arc in front of it, and drew a series of formulas and calculation results between the two and around the white hull.
He wrote faster and faster, his wrist almost twitching.
Suzaku also followed Arthur's writing in his mind and calculated simultaneously. Half a second before Arthur was about to complete all calculations, Suzaku exclaimed: "Yes, we used three algorithms, and the white hull did fly to the earth.
At the speed predicted by Arthur, the spacecraft will hit the earth hard."
"Yes, it was getting faster and faster, and finally, we lost contact with it."
After the commander finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Klein had heard about the first plan to restart the World Heritage List. It was a failed plan. He didn't expect it to fail in such a way.
"After the failure of returning to Earth from Lake Baikal, did United Airlines secretly carry out other plans to return to Earth?" Klein asked.
"There is no airtight wall in the universe. It seems that Professor Klein not only has purchasing power across all United Airlines ships, but the information he knows is quite astonishing."
The commander tried to make a joke, but unfortunately no one laughed.
Everyone has one thing in mind. Since the first restart plan failed, why should we start it again?
Now that we have completely left the earth, is there any reason to go back?
Isn’t it true that there is no return if you go back?
"Sir, can you tell everyone the truth about this plan?" Klein demanded. "Everyone should have the right to know what they are going to face."
"You don't really want us to go, do you?" Suzaku said.
Li Xiang had a timid expression on his face, and his voice was a bit frightened. He said softly: "Professor Klein, are you going to let us go to Earth?"
The commander seemed not to see the confusion in everyone's eyes, nor to hear everyone's worries, and continued: "Mir is the closest to the earth so far, and we have just left the orbit of Jupiter."
"How is this possible?" Suzaku was the first to question.
Li Xiang asked, "Yes, how is that possible?"
The students focused their attention on Klein. As a professor, he should naturally tell the students the exact situation, but now, he felt that his whole body was about to be burned by the eyes of these students.
If he says "he doesn't know" now, it may make the students suspicious of the United Aviation Committee.
For these students who are about to shoulder the heavy responsibility and set sail, there is no benefit in having doubts.
How to answer?
Klein was also confused.
"Professor, are we really still in the solar system? How is this possible?"
"Yes, have we been a satellite of a certain planet in the solar system for more than a hundred years? Orbiting it for more than a century?"
Not to mention that the students couldn't imagine this possibility, even Klein felt weird in his heart when he heard such a hypothesis.
If that were really the case, it would be terrible.
It's not just terrible, it's a disaster.
What problem did United Airlines have to allow Mir to pretend to fly for a long time, but in fact it has been wandering near the solar system?
What about our speed?
The maximum speed can reach one-tenth of the speed of light. Is Mir's outstanding performance used to serve as satellites around planets?
How can you accept this?
"Professor, can you tell us the truth?" Arthur asked on behalf of the students.
Yes, of course they should know the truth.
But I don’t know either.
Klein tried his best to stay calm and keep his expression straight, but God knows how confused he is now.
As a member of the round table decision-making group, the captain never said in front of him that they had not left the solar system?
Everyone in the roundtable decision-making group has their own thoughts, and Klein knows this, but at most they are some inconsequential private interests, such as opening the back door of the transport ship and secretly carrying some personal goods to the Mir; and Suzumiya
The Doctor is actually the core figure of the Earthist group. Although she seems to be indifferent to the world, in fact, her ability may even summon an army.
Although Dawson is stern and usually seems to be very strict and difficult to get close to, this guy is a person who puts everything on his face. He should be as unaware of this matter as himself.
Frankenstein is a technology maniac. Even if he knew about it, he would not say a word. Regarding matters that have nothing to do with technology, even if United Airlines suddenly said that it was going to attack an alien fleet on a certain planet, he would only ask, "
Are there any technical difficulties?”
Vice-captain Perry Mo?
Klein thinks he must know. If anyone else besides the captain knows the current location of the Mir, Perimer is the most suitable candidate. He is cold and secretive. Who knows the captain?
Could it be that Stanley is just a puppet, and that this deputy captain, Perrymore, is United Airlines' minion, placed on the Mir and controlling everything on the Mir?
After all, Mir is not a United Airlines spaceship. If United Airlines lets you go east, you can never go west.
Finally, there is Suzumiya. This woman is a mystery. She is both beautiful and surprisingly intelligent. She can occupy a seat on the round table decision-making group of four new people, mainly because she has one-third of the decision-making quota behind her.
Terrifying one third, Earthism has even been able to check and balance some of the rights of United Airlines with this decision-making ratio since its establishment. It can be imagined how important a role Suzumiya played in it.
Connecting up to the Joint Aviation Committee, there is also the support of all ordinary humans like Arthur on more than thirty spaceships. Their unity is terrifying and is inherited from the same vein.
Does Suzumiya know about this?
Klein was almost confused by himself.
At this moment, the commander's words helped him solve the problem.
"Don't ask your professor, let me answer your question. Mir once flew out of the solar system, but you came back more than fifty years ago."
"Why?" Suzaku asked.
“Is it just for the [World Heritage List] plan?”
"Children, United Airlines doesn't want to hide anything from you. In fact, we want to save your companions out of a humanitarian spirit."
"Our companions?" Jacob said unhappily, "Now, Commander, do you think we still need to talk about the similarities and differences between new humans and ordinary humans?"
"Of course that's not what I mean. What I want to talk about is the places on the planets in the solar system that were our bases and that our great-grandparents still call home."
"Mars base?"
"Moon base?"
