Chapter 29: Grief and anger are intertwined

Originally.

Judging from the results of the simulation calculations, when the return capsule reaches a predetermined altitude, it will be able to meet with the Phobos, which is passing by.

After all, it is a big guy more than 20 kilometers long, and when the time comes, it can land according to the predetermined plan, and the probability of success is extremely high.

Although the situation is urgent, neither Old Man Su nor Su Baichuan is the kind of character who will gamble with the lives of members, and the risk is indeed not great.

Zhao Ya was still in the mood to talk to the God of War base, and joked that when she waited for Phobos, she would desperately pretend to be superconductor minerals and bring them back to Earth to exchange for money, which was much more profitable than robbing a bank, and the nervousness was certain, she was diverting the anxiety of her companions in her own way.

As I got closer and closer, I could already see the big guy flying from a distance, one of the darkest moons in the solar system, the color was a strange dark gray, and the surface was pitted, like an oversized potato that had been bitten by an insect underground.

I also saw it when I landed on Mars, and Zhang Ya and Sun Lai and other five members of the mission were no strangers to this Martian satellite.

At an altitude of 8,000 kilometers, the effect of Mars' gravitational pull has become much smaller, and it gradually loses its sense of gravity, and its bodies float slightly upward, fixed to their seats by seat belts.

A large part of the space was reserved, because the suddenness of the incident did not remove the seats, and all kinds of tools used in the investigation of Phobos were packed in bags and fixed.

According to the plan, they will save enough fuel to return to the transport ship, land on Phobos to determine the target, and collect enough samples to bring back to Earth, weighing about half a ton.

Sun Lai is the captain of the five-person team, Su Baichuan personally appointed, at this moment Sun Lai's body gradually relaxed, the heartbeat rate gradually decreased, and there was no gravity, which had a great impact on the human body.

But at this height, the first hurdle of the mission has passed.

He asked the God of War base and said, "Confirm, the personnel are all in a normal and conscious state, and the data has been collected, right?" I hope it can help Xiao Beidou get out of Mars." ”

Each member wore a monitoring device, and everything from the heartbeat to the level of stress on the body was recorded.

Daddy Su was laughing with the members around him, and before he could reply, he saw an abnormal situation.

The screen shows that there is a red dot approaching the return capsule at high speed, extremely fast!

The first reaction was that the return capsule of the other bases also came up, and Su Baichuan had not received any news in this regard before this, and the feedback he got just a few minutes ago was that Bald Eagle and the EU base were preparing, and obviously they would not chase after them so soon.

He asked loudly, "Sun Lai, look out the window, what's flying towards you!?"

Looking at the orbit, there is no doubt that it must be a man-made object, because that thing has also corrected the orbit, and the target is obviously the return capsule of the God of War base!

There was a thought that made Daddy Su's heart tremble in his mind, no return capsule would have drawn this kind of flight trajectory so quickly, but there was something that could - space missiles!

The two dots quickly touched and disappeared from the screen at the same time.

Someone hurriedly asked Sun Lai and others to reply, but there was no feedback.

Su Beidou stood aside, he was as happy as everyone else, but at this time he couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand what was going on, but he also had a terrible guess in his mind.

Except for continuing to ask about the return capsule and asking the five members of the mission to reply, the others stood there silent, as if they had fallen silent.

The satellite was called to adjust the direction, and all that was photographed was a pile of scattered debris, which scattered in all directions, and the initials of the Mars Exploration Company could be seen, which were printed on a large fragment and flew away at high speed.

Someone couldn't stop crying, Su Beidou stood there, clenched his fists tightly, and could think with his ass that this was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster.

His father's gaze was like that of a hungry wolf, and the five of them disappeared along with the return capsule of the mission, leaving only a pile of debris and Phobos, which continued to fly along the orbit at high speed, as if they were mercilessly mocking their dream of shattering.

Desperate for an answer.

In my mind, I instantly figured out why the mission that had been set for a week later was rushed forward to today, and something must have happened on the other side of the earth.

Seeing that the father left the control room without saying a word, Su Beidou also followed, and now there are not many things that this little guy needs to bear, and the elders in the family are all there, and while grieving the death of the five members, he can't help but be a little afraid.

If it wasn't for his mother Zhao Xin's dissuasion, maybe Su Baichuan would also be in that return capsule, just had this idea, Su Beidou suddenly felt that it was unkind to think so, but after all, he was taking care of his father since he was a child, and it was inevitable that he would care more about it, human nature.

The interweaving of anger and grief made Father Su feel abnormal, stopped, and for the first time in his life, he was angry with his son: "What are you doing with me! Go to your mother!"

I've never seen a good-natured dad show such a look.

Su Beidou paused and didn't listen to him: "I'...... I want to know what's going on, they're also my friends!"

These members in the base, this little guy has been in contact with each other, and he can call everyone's name, not to mention Sun Lai and Zhang Ya, who have a good relationship with him, are estimated to be more than lucky, and what happened to the two of them made Su Beidou depressed to the point of chest tightness, and his fists were clenched.

Looking at his son, Su Baichuan wanted to continue to say something, but in the end, he didn't kill his son's kindness, let out a long breath, and dialed a number.

Wait a few minutes for the signal to be transmitted back to Earth, the distance between Earth and Mars is closer, and there is a repeater to help transmit it, and the communication speed is slightly faster.

It rang for a long time but no one answered.

This is a rare thing, there will always be someone around the old man, even if the old man is busy, the bodyguards, assistants and others will answer the phone when they see him, and then inform the old man.

With a bad premonition in his heart, he hurriedly returned to the control room, and let the personnel who were still diligently contacting the return capsule leave their seats, Daddy Su bent down to switch the communication channel, propped his hand on the console, looked at the picture of the earth control room that was already in chaos, and said:

"I'm Su Baichuan! The return capsule launched about 10 minutes ago has been confirmed to have been attacked by foreign missiles, and the possibility of survival of the members in the capsule is almost zero, what is going on on the other side of the earth, why can't I contact my son?

In addition, is there a possibility that the Ares base will be attacked? What the hell is going on, is there going to be a war on Mars? Someone has already fired the first shot, five people! We just killed five members!!"
