The "String Seat" spacecraft consists of a crew cabin, a service module, a spacecraft integration section and a launch escape system.

Nami and Arthur are conducting pre-launch inspections. According to the instructions from the command center, they need to work with engineering technology to make the best inspection of the spacecraft.

"The purpose of this is to be as foolproof as possible," said Vice Captain Perrymore.

Arthur was obviously worried, but he still nodded and accompanied Nami to carefully inspect the internal structure of the spacecraft, memorizing every detail.

For astronauts, understanding their spacecraft is a guarantee of their lives.

The crew capsule of the spacecraft is in the shape of a 70° cone, similar in appearance to the "Pursuer" crew capsule, but larger, shorter and lighter than the latter. The internal space is 2 times smaller than that of the "Pursuer" spacecraft, with a maximum capacity of only

It can accommodate 3 astronauts. Compared with the space shuttle, the safety factor of the "string seat" is greatly improved, and the smaller size can better adapt to different landing methods.

"The string base incorporates many of the latest technologies in the fields of computers, electronics, life support systems, propulsion systems and thermal protection systems, including: in order to fly with minimum mass, seamless welding processes and aluminum-lithium alloy materials that have been proven to be very useful

, thermal protective fabrics that are more adaptable to launch and atmospheric conditions are used as materials for key components of the shield.

You should all be very familiar with this, but I still need to repeat it to you two. Please don’t think I’m too nagging. This is a very serious mission.”

"Professor Perry Mo, I think I have been very clear about the structure and function of the spacecraft. I know that we have no chance to test flight, so please don't worry, I mean, we are ready." Nami looked confident.

She gently pushed Arthur aside with her elbow. Arthur put down the operation manual he was looking at and replied: "Sir, I'm ready."

"Very good, I hope you can succeed, and the stars bless you."

"The stars also bless you, Professor." The two students said in unison.

"The command center will have a final call with you in twenty minutes. If you still have any questions about the plan, that will be your last chance to communicate with the United Aviation Command. I won't be able to help you two at that time." Perry

After Mo finished speaking, he looked at Arthur and waved to him again.

Arthur walked up to Perimer and asked doubtfully: "Sir, what else can you do?"

"Regarding your mother, I think it is necessary for you to understand her situation."

"My mother was taken away by the guards. I don't think this will affect my participation in the flight mission."

Nami didn't know what the two were talking about, but she could also feel that Arthur was getting more and more worried, and the topics they talked about were also very weird.

It seems that neither of them is sincerely communicating with each other. They are hiding some things in their hearts and saying other things with their mouths.

"My mother has always been a pacifist and I don't understand why the guard did what he did."

"When you successfully complete the mission, the misunderstanding may be solved."

Arthur frowned slightly, "Misunderstanding?"

Perimer suddenly felt uncomfortable. He patted Arthur on the shoulder and expressed his unwillingness to continue the topic, then turned and left.

"Wait a minute."

Arthur strode to catch up, and Nami's advice came from behind, "Arthur, don't be like this, calm down."

He stood there without turning around and replied: "Sister Nami, I am very calm, but that is my mother. Since Professor Perrymore knows about my mother's situation, I hope he can tell me the truth."

"Are you threatening me?" Perimo stopped, turned around seriously, raised his shoulders slightly, and his expression was much more serious than before.

If he mentioned his mother Catherine to Arthur just now out of good intentions or accidentally, then Perimer didn't want to discuss it any more now.

He was unwilling to let United Airlines doubt his reliability. Perrymer had always given the impression of being cold, so the decision-making members of the round table, including Captain Stanley, were willing to discuss some matters with him.

Dawson's fiery temper is no exception. He caught Catherine and had her rescued. This crime is not trivial if we look into it deeply. It is a certainty that he will leave the decision-making level. Whether more positions will be eliminated depends on United Airlines.

mood.

Not long ago, Catherine was rescued.

Should I tell Arthur this or not?

For the child, this is a good thing and will make him feel more at ease when he returns to Earth, but will it affect the successful completion of his mission?

The mission at hand is the hope of the solar system.

Alas, I shouldn't have mentioned it a few minutes ago, Perimo muttered to himself.

"I'm not threatening you, sir. You once taught us flying skills and taught us how to adjust our mentality in difficult times. I think if I threaten you with emotional problems, you can completely doubt whether I am qualified for the next task."

,So, I will not do this at all.”

Perimer didn't answer, and motioned for Arthur to continue.

"I think I need to know if my mother is safe now, that's all."

"Originally I knew she was safe, but now I don't know. Maybe it would be better to tell you the truth."

Nami deliberately walked far away, giving the two of them a chance to say something they didn't want others to hear.

"After the guards took away Ms. Catherine, the lady was placed in a holding cell."

Hearing this, Arthur's eyelids trembled a few times and his fists were clenched tightly. Is this really necessary? Why was his mother taken away when she had never done anything bad?

Perry said in a deep voice: "My child, your mother is a good person, and the guards were just following orders, but she was rescued. As far as I know, there is a transport ship docked at the Mir with an invisible pass at the berthing port.

, and flew out of the Mir Xingyue docking port with an invisible pass, an elusive small spacecraft that could only carry up to 6 passengers."

"What does this mean? My mother is not on Mir now?"

"I think I made it clear, now go focus on your work."

"Wait a minute, what can I do? I mean, what else can I do before I leave Mir and fly to Earth? For my mother."

"Maybe you know where she's going?"

"There is no way for Mir to track the spacecraft that picked up my mother?"

"This is war time, Arthur. All our communication channels must ensure that we can ultimately defeat the threat of vacuum bubbles. If a small spacecraft deliberately avoids the communication frequency, we may not be able to find its whereabouts."

"We all know that this is a lie. If you want to find this spacecraft, Mir must have a way, or someone deliberately hides something..."
