Chapter 50 There is no safe place
Five hours after losing contact with the Galapagos Islands, Captain Stanley decided to announce the news to the inhabitants of Mars.
The opinions of the roundtable decision-making group were not unanimous. Perimer believed that concealment was not a good idea, but Frankenstein sided with Klein this time.
"We have just arrived on Mars not long ago, and now they have just learned that the MarsAir spacecraft has never returned. Operation Kilimanjaro was a complete failure. Now, except for the spacecraft we flew to Mars, no aircraft can carry a single person."
People leave here.
Everyone is actually in a peaceful mood.”
Suzumiya, standing next to Klein, continued: "Yes, because this is everyone's decision, so the residents of Mars cannot blame anyone."
"No, I think they can blame United Airlines for this strategic secrecy principle, but who can demand complete transparency in the weapons defense system."
"Yes, Professor Klein, that's impossible." Stanley said.
"I don't advocate telling the Martian residents now that the plan to restart the World Heritage List has failed again. After all, everyone still has time, right? That damn bubble hasn't accelerated yet. At this rate, we still have nearly 20 days.
Isn’t it the time?”
"19 days, 6 hours and 51 minutes to be exact."
Klein frowned, "Thanks for reminding me, Xiao Fu."
Frankenstein shrugged, seemingly not caring about the new name Klein gave him.
Dawson's opinion is this. He pointed out that just because we lost contact with the spacecraft, it does not mean that the mission is over.
At this time, Perimo objected: "In this case, are there still spaceships or people alive in Kilimanjaro?"
"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, although, as time goes by, the possibility is getting lower and lower." Dawson stood from a neutral point of view, neither agreeing to tell everything to the Martian residents immediately, nor intending to keep it secret.
, his idea was - wait a little longer.
"I don't know about the situation in Kilimanjaro, but what Professor Dawson said makes sense. The mission may not be over. Maybe there is just a problem with the communication equipment."
"When has there ever been a problem with laser communications? If laser communications are not reliable enough, how can United Airlines fully advance its aerospace industry? How can we achieve communication between spacecrafts?"
Perrymer expressed dissatisfaction. He believed that the members of the decision-making group had lost their due objectivity and calmness and became more and more like children's stories that place their hopes on miracles when encountering difficulties.
I don’t know how many stories like this have appeared in the long history of mankind, but reality is reality, and stories cannot change reality.
The correct way to think about it is to analyze the incident of Mir losing contact with the Galapagos Islands based on the failed experiences of several previous plans to return to the World Heritage List. It is obvious that Arthur and Nami failed.
Why do these people still think it is not necessary to tell the Martian residents now? Is it cruel to say it now?
This is not the case at all. This is an outdated, pedantic, and self-righteous controlist extreme thought at work.
Thinking that your own efforts can comfort the emotions of others is actually just self-righteousness.
Forget it, Suzumiya is like this, Klein is like this, and now Dawson has also become indecisive, but not as serious as the first two people.
It seems that everyone will become stupid in the face of crisis, and new humans may not be immune to the crisis.
"Captain, please postpone telling everyone the news." Suzumiya bowed slightly, and Klein also leaned forward politely.
"I......"
"Captain, do you think this is kind and merciful? Let the Martian residents feel that there is still hope? No, that is not the case at all. If we hide the news now, it will delay the Martian residents' final farewell time. They could have done it earlier
Say goodbye to loved ones or make some last-minute preparations earlier.
If we conceal it, even if it is out of good intentions, we may be wasting the time of the Martian residents. Why not let them know that there is little hope earlier and enjoy the last peace and quiet earlier?
With false hope and despair in the end, will they still be calm at that time? Will they complain that Mir failed to tell them earlier that the plan to restart the "World Heritage List" has failed, and what awaits them is self-destruction
In exchange for a life-and-death battle with the vacuum bubble?"
"Wait a minute." Klein suddenly interrupted Perimer, "I mean, what exactly is United Airlines' Mars self-destruction plan? Do any of you know?"
Stanley:......
Frankenstein:!
Perimo took a step forward and stared into Klein's eyes. Although it was a virtual image, Klein still felt his cheeks burning up.
This feeling was not unique to him. Suzumiya beside him was holding Klein's elbow tightly.
"We can't get in touch with United, so that means, in fact, we don't know if Mars is going to blow up?"
Everyone has already thought of Stanley's words.
"Damn it! So, Mir must be prepared to evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be swallowed up by that damn little bubble." Frankenstein's conclusion is very clear.
"Captain, should we make some plans for ourselves and retreat to the Oort Nebula to join everyone else?"
Stanley did not answer Dawson and Frankenstein's suggestions, but said to Klein: "Keep the communication link between Mars and Mir, protect your spacecraft, we need to keep in touch with Mars at all times, and beggars will never be allowed to appear.
Things like the Manjaro Belt do not allow Mars to cut off communications in one direction again."
"Okay, we understand, leave the work here to Dr. Suzumiya and me," Klein said.
"Very good. As for how United Airlines initiates the Mars bombing process, I have to trouble you two to do some research on Mars. I will also try my best to contact the captains of other spaceships to see what information I can get."
Dawson sneered and said: "Don't expect too much. The news they received is to make combat arrangements at the outermost edge of the solar system. For us in the most dangerous zone of the solar system, what advice do we expect those spacecraft to give?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Once an R9-class spacecraft loses contact with United Airlines, it can activate its independent decision-making power. If we have a better plan, they will consider it carefully."
"There is no time, and no plan can be more important than protecting the universe. They are also in a desperate struggle." Frankenstein said, "Now, we are indeed in the center of the venom, but we are waiting in the Oort Nebula.
The fleet group is facing a terrible expansion explosion. Even if they can organize the devouring and spreading, do you think it is possible for these fleets to escape unscathed?"
